The petals of beautiful flowers were followed by the wind. The Indian cork flowers were everywhere on the ground. Today was such a nice weather.In the whole school if there was a place she loved to stay at then it was this place. Every time she came here, her mood got better.In her school uniform a high school student, Avery Knight looked around. She looked kind of in a mess with her appearance, her hair high in a messy bun with her skirt slightly muddy. She looked so simple yet naive. Tears ran down her cheeks, and she wiped off her tears with the back of her palm. Avery sobbed and looked at her palm which got muddy earlier. Checking no one was following her she settled on the bench."They bullied me again, my hand is hurting. But what can I do? It was all because of that Apollo. He always bullies me and because of him, now everyone bullies me." Looking at the wound on her hand, Avery sobbed again. When students were after her, she somehow managed to get away from them or she coul
Lincoln Residence 8 pmIt was a place where just nobody couldn't come to, except those who carried the surname Lincoln. But it was an exception for Avery Knight. Though she didn't carry that surname, she could come here as long as she wanted to.Avery Knight put all the bags on the sofa and then looked at the gigantic wall clock hanging on the wall. She smiled and mumbled, "Liam must have come back from his business trip. How about I give him a surprise?"It has been more than three months since she last saw him. She was so crazy dying to see her husband. After all, she loved him the most. Liam and Avery were married for two years, though they were not the perfect couple but they were happy. At least that's what she thought.She turned around, her smile faded. Avery looked down and uttered. "Mom.""You are the Lincoln family's daughter-in-law. Look how you are walking." The middle aged woman's voice sounded harsh. Well, Avery didn't mind. She got used to her mother-in-law behaving th
"Sign it!""I said I won't sign the divorce papers until he is here."Wendy looked angered but she didn't say anything. After all, soon the troublemaker was going to leave."Oh, here's my son. Now sign it!" Avery looked at Liam. He sat opposite of her on the sofa, followed by Jennifer on his left. Jennifer's hands were wrapped around his arms like a leech and Liam was also seated on the couch comfortably."Let me tell you, though you guys are getting divorced. You won't get even a single penny from my son nor any matrimonial alimony." Wendy asserted. "Ok.""You can never claim yourself as one of the Lincoln's again. So do not think after getting a divorce from him, you will still get to live here. The moment you…"Avery, not waiting for Wendy to finish, grabbed the pen. Her eyes never left Liam's as she signed her name on the papers. Liam for a minute looked disappointed, his facial expression changed but then it was not. Avery almost believed she saw him sad.Signing it, she stood
"They are gone now. You are safe." The man walked away from Avery, preparing to leave. As the room was dark she could not see his face, she could hear only his voice and feel his strong aura. "Thank… thank you, sir." She uttered. The effect of water was gone now, she didn't know what she drank but she felt like taking off her clothes. Avery looked around with her heavy head and muttered, "Thank you for saving me, sir. I… I will leave then…"The man remained silent and she stood up. Unknown to where she was going, suddenly she hit her head against a rock like hard chest. Avery extended her hand and put it on the man's chest. "Is that you? Sir.""You seem drunk, can you go back alone?" His voice was cold yet she felt he was considerate enough to help her.Avery nodded her head and smiled at him foolishly. "I… I think I can… "The man let out a sigh then holding her hand he took her towards the door. "This is the door, you can leave now."Avery about to leave felt hot, she couldn't help
Beep! Beep!With the sound of the alarm from her phone, she slightly moved on the bed searching for her phone with her hand.A slightly ruffled sound left her mouth as she couldn't find it anywhere near. Usually, she turned off the alarm every morning, since she had to make breakfast for everyone in the Lincoln Residence she used to wake up earliest in the morning.'I can't be late. Mom will sco... Wait, this is not Lincoln Resi...'Avery opened her eyes and darted around, all she could see was telling her that she was in some unfamiliar place.Feeling something as if claiming her, her eyes turned toward her midsection as she felt someone's hand on her waistline. She enlarged her eyes and examined the masculine figure that was sleeping on her next. Due to having his face turned to the other side, she couldn't see his face.She gobbled and remembered everything that happened last night. Her face turned red and she bit her lips. 'I... I slept with a stranger last night... I was the one
"Mr Wyatt, Miss Knight has..."Noah Miller, Apollo Wyatt Lincoln's secretary put a file on the table while uttering so in a rigid tone of voice when Apollo's eyes were glued to the wall clock. He turned around in his chair and skipped a glare at the file on the table. Letting out a sigh he rests his head against the chair."I see.""You don't look surprised..."Turning around Apollo smirked. He knew she would do something like this. "Let her do what she wants.""Got it, sir."It was past evening. Avery looked around and wiped off the sweat on her body. She was drained because of walking for so long. Since she left the hotel, she had been wandering everywhere. 'I don't believe him at all, he must be lying. I can't just give in to his wishes, knowing how he used to bully me I can't get myself to trust him without testing the fire!'Taking a look at her surroundings she gazed at the screen of her phone, she could see the time but the very phone reminded her of something else. Exactly wh
Sitting on the chair opposite Apollo, Avery was looking at him with sharp eyes. There was no way she was going to let him bully her like he used to do. Even if they would get married he would never be able to bully her. She decided it all in her mind. "Let me introduce myself. I am Daniel Hudson, Mr Wyatt's lawyer. I've prepared the contract for your marriage. Please read it carefully before signing it." The guy named Daniel handed her the contract. Avery skipping a glare at Apollo started reading it carefully.'Why so many details? I don't understand much... '"Details."Avery looked up at Apollo. 'Did he hear me? But I was mumbling... 'To Apollo's order, Daniel started explaining. "Yes, let me tell you about the pieces of information you should know before getting into this marriage contract.""Sure.""You guys will be married for ten months, when the contract expires you guys will go separate ways. In these ten months, my client Mr Wyatt will be helping you get back the property
Lindwens HouseAvery was following after Apollo. With every step she was taking, she kept playing with her hands and looking down. Without looking she took another step and suddenly she hit her forehead against something that felt hard. Avery mumbled, 'Ouch!' and looked up, rubbing her forehead.As she saw Apollo staring at her coldly, she smiled at him apologetically."Sorry." "There's nothing to be nervous about, what's wrong with you?" There came, his stern voice. "I am just... I can't help it.""Do you need some time?"Avery looked up at him, her nervous eyes meeting with his emotionless ones. She once thought about how would she handle it when she would be meeting with the person Apollo was taking her to meet with, but she quickly shoved the thoughts and decided she would be brave yet here she was, eating her words."No, I'm ok.""Are you sure?"Avery took a deep breath and nodded her head. As Apollo extended his arms towards her, she gave her hand to his and let out a breath
