The glass elevator was going down, and all the lights on the floors one by one turned off. As Apollo walked out of the elevator the lights on the floor turned on."It's 7:25 pm."Taking a gaze at his wristwatch he walked in the direction that lead to the office kitchen.The lights were constantly going on and off. Avery looked around, checking for the first-aid kit. 'I don't know why the lights are going on and off...' Though she washed her finger that got a cut a while ago, it was still bleeding and hurting.Upon seeing the first-aid kit, she stood high on her toes to get it. Crack!Suddenly everywhere darkness took place as the lights were gone. Avery could barely see things around."Shit! Why the lights went off at this time?" Putting the first-aid kit down, she started wandering around for the candle. Since she was new here, she didn't know exactly where things were kept.Avery wanted to try a new dish, she was cutting the vegetables that's when she cut her finger. Since she wa
"Mr Wyatt, we have found out the will of Miss Knight's grandmother. But there's some problem. We know where is it kept but it's hard to get it."A voice from the other side of the call reported so. Apollo walking downstairs, let out, "Find it first. None should get their hands on it before us.""Yes, sir."It was past midnight. Apollo used to work in a different timezone in foreign so he was used to that timing.Letting out a sigh of relief Apollo kneaded the middle of his forehead. He walked towards the settee to take a seat but the moment he reached the settee he was taken back.He gaped at Avery with pure annoyance in his eyes.'She is doing it again.'Avery made dinner, and they had it peacefully so he thought he would let her go one time but her repeated behaviour was irritating him now.Just like the other night, things were scattered here and there. The difference tonight was... There was a packet of snacks on the table too. 'She is not going to change, I need to make it clear
"This way, please!" Avery followed the manager. After work, the driver took her here. Since she was going to the event with Apollo. Though Noah didn't tell her what the event was about or where exactly they were going. "These are newly out clothes. We hope you will like them, Mrs Wyatt." The manager smiled at her and gestured for her to take a look around. 'The dresses are so beautiful, I can't decide which one to take... And they are super expensive...' After looking around she stood in one place in a dilemma. The price tag on the dresses she saw was making her think twice before she could touch a certain one among the rest. "Don't you like them? Mrs Wyatt." The manager asked her. Avery smiled cheekily and bit her lips. She took a look around and mumbled under her breath, 'Noah said I have an hour. And I must choose a dress from here. It's not like I don't like them... Fine, I will choose the less expensive one then.' She walked around again. When she was checking on the price
"Daddy, sister didn't come back home. I have been sick worried for her these past few days, look at her. She is wearing such a dress, I'm afraid she might have..." Jennifer groaned while looking at Paul with watery eyes.Since the day, Avery came to live with them Jennifer hated her. For some reason, the very sight of her always made Jennifer feel irritated.Everyone glared at her as if she did some dirty. Paul grabbed Avery's hand and asked, "You have been missing after your divorce. What the hell did you do after that?"Georgia smirked at her daughter and voiced in a pretentious tone, "She is still young. I am afraid she found a sugar daddy for herself..."Avery felt nothing but disgusted, she remained silent and tried to get away from Paul's grip. "Let go!""Is what your mother saying true? Did you really...""I said let go!""She is silent which means she has...""What imprudent thing you have done! Why do I have a shameless girl like you!" Paul furrowed his eyebrows in rage.Ave
Holding her in his arms, Apollo kicked the door shut by his leg. He gently put her down the bed, taking off her shoes without making a sound Apollo sat next to her. He caressed her face and kept staring at her face.It was indeed him who arranged for her to meet the Knight family, he was as serious as always until he saw her sad. Apollo also was surprised at his own behaviour, he never thought of telling the whole world that Avery was his girlfriend.'I don't know why did I do that but I will protect you like I promised.'Pulling the bedcover over her he let out a sigh.As he stood up to leave, Avery grabbed his hand. Apollo, halted turned towards her and saw her lying on the bed but holding his hand. For a moment, he was nervous. Apollo looked away from her and remained silent.'She just woke up right?'"Uhmm, I have a question. It's not like a question though I mean I just... I just can't figure out the reason." She asserted sounding confused. Back at the party, she the least expec
'Some years backA day in school was supposed to be the best day of my life, but it turned into the worst one for me. I can never forget it, no matter how hard I try, I just can't...'Click!"Uhmm, is something wrong with the food?" Suddenly her voice pulled him into reality. She has been the one talking when he was in a daze. Apollo looked at Avery with anguish in his eyes.Did she see it wrong? A part of her heart wanted to ask him when the other one didn't.* ECHOING WORDS *"I'M LEAVING BUT HERE'S A REMINDER FOR YOU. YOU KNOW HOW YOU ARE! JUST LIKE DAD ONCE LEFT YOU AND YOUR MOTHER, AVERY WILL ALSO LEAVE YOU. YOU BRING NOTHING BUT BAD LUCK AND MISERY! TAKE YOUR MOM FOR INSTANCE, HAVING A SON LIKE YOU IS A NIGHTMARE FOR HER.""Mr Wyatt?" Avery hit on the table gently, he seemed so lost today.Instead of answering her, grabbing his suit he just walked out of his office and she followed after him."Mr Wyatt, wait. Mr... Did I do something wrong? He just left like that..." Standing a
Whack!'I have to stop him no matter what!'Avery grabbed onto her dress and held her breath as she shut her eyes close in fear. Her heart beating at an unusual rate."I told you to stay away. What were you thinking that you stood right in front of me? I could have punched you just now!" Outraged, Apollo grasped her arms and stared at her, infuriated. Upon hearing his voice, Avery opened her eyes and smiled at him cheekily.'Thankfully I am safe.'"I wanted you to stop."Apollo stared at her coldly. If he was not careful, she would have had a new look on her face."I could have hit your face.""You wouldn't."As he heard her, he looked stiffer. He stepped an inch towards her, keeping his gaze fixed on her as if he was warning her through those blue orbs of his. TO NOT PUSH HER LUCK!He in his raspy voice asked, "Are you sure?"Avery bit her lips. Her eyes shut off and open again.'It is the only way to stop him.' Taking a step she asserted confidently, "Yes, I am..."All her bravery
"Apollo, wait." Pulling her inside the bathroom along with him, Apollo kept his arms around her waist. 'What is he planning of doing? It's making me nervous.'Avery tried breaking through his trap. She turned to her right then her left but as a result, his arms around her hardened, he lessened the gap between them and she got closer to him. "Turn the shower on." He professed so in an authoritative tone. Avery nodded her head in dismissal as she uttered, "No way! Let me go!""You said it yourself. You wanted to help me. How can you run away now?"'This man! I didn't say I would get in the shower with him!'Avery smiled, slightly irritated and spoke through her gritted teeth, "I did say I would help you but I never said... Wait."Waterdrops started falling on both their bodies. She saw him staring into her eyes not even giving a damn that they were now standing so close to each other. Avery tried to get away from him but she failed again.She blurted out angrily, "Apollo, let go!" Sh
