“What the hell” A thunderous voice could be heard in a study.

“How did this happen, when did it happen? It might be a lie”. 

The news of Eric MacMillies marriage to Avery Lincoln is all over the internet. Immediately Luck announced it, it spread fast like wild fire. No one would have guessed that Eric would marry Avery. The infamous second daughter of the Lincoln family. The only person that the public doesn't know.

Mr Edwards is outraged. He's a shareholder in Ericmac Company, the reason why he's angry is because while bringing back his company, Eric has helped him, and in the process they've discussed marriage, Eric is supposed to be married to his daughter, not the Lincoln family daughter.

 Edwards is the 4th richest family in the whole of South America, the 4th and the last close to the Middle class.

“I'm sorry sir, but I just got the information from our aid in his company, it said that his assistant announced it” His right hand man said 

“If his assistant announced it, it means it's true,” Mr Edwards said.

“Yes boss I checked,it's true they got married as a result of both father's influence.” His right hand man said.

“I see, let's pay MacMillies a visit” Mr Edwards smiled sinisterly.

*.                                *.                       *.     

“Why did you call me here? I was actually busy when I got your call” Avery asked, she's sitting opposite Eric in his office.

“ Were you at the company?” Eric asked coldly not looking at her.

Avery scoffed, “How does where I am affects you, what I do and where I go should not be your concern, why am I here husband” Avery asked.

Eric smirks 

“Here, put in your signature,” Eric said, handing her a file.

 She took the file, opened it and read it.

Her eyes bulged out of its socket.

“Are you stupid, what's this nonsense, I should hand over 50% of my company shares to you?” Avery shouted.

“Didn't you read the terms and conditions of getting married to me? I will help revive your company, 50%shares goes to me, then the remaining 50% goes to you, that's a fair business deal” Eric said raising his head looking at her.

“I didn't consent to this, if I knew this is how it's going to be I wouldn't have bothered getting married to a pervert like you, you are delusional” Avery said.

"And besides, my marriage to you was to pay for your help. So where did the 50% share come from?". 

"I don't need to answer to you woman, put in your signature." Eric said coldly.

"I will do no such thing pervert." 

“Pervert?” Eric said looking at her in the eyes

“Yes that's who you are, you and my dad made a stupid deal, you should go meet him to sign the useless contract not me. I'm not signing that, I'm not selling my company off to you. ” Avery said dropping the file on the table.

Eric stood up and walked towards her, smirking.

“What do you think you are doing?” Avery asked and stood up immediately.

“What is wrong in handing over your company shares to your husband?” Eric asked her, looking straight into her blue eyes.

“Husband?” Avery laughed. “You are no where close to being my husband, I'm married to you cause you can revive my company, nothing more, now get out of my way. Pervert” Avery said moving back as Eric kept moving towards her.

Eric smirk. Eyes on her lips. He could remember how very soft they were when he kissed them during the wedding. His eyes flew to her eyes, then back to her lips.

“Say it again,” Eric said.

“What?”

“Say it again” 

“What are you-”

He stared into her eyes and his attention also dropped to her lips. Before either of them knew it, Eric's lips landed on Avery's own. 

Avery couldn't believe it, her eyes widened in shock. Eric is kissing her. Wait what? She's allowing Eric to kiss her.

Eric didn't know what came over him, just the feel of her lips doing wonders to him. He just doesn't want to leave. He could feel her struggling to leave his hold, but he can't, her lips is everything he needs. 

“Ahem” They heard someone clear their throat behind them.

Avery managed to leave, both of them breathing heavily. 

“Slap!” Avery gave him a hard slap. Eric looked at her and could see her eyes glistening with unshed tears.

She moved away from him, picked her hand bag, took the file from the table and left the room with the two men looking at her.

“Sir-” Luck started 

Eric couldn't believe what just happened, why the hell did he kiss her? She's like not his type. He touched his cheeks where Avery slapped him. He smirked. Feisty.

“Sir,” Luck called again.

“What is it?” Eric turned, looking at him.

“Louis and James are found dead,” Luck said, showing him the picture of the dead bodies.

    “This…This is impossible, what is this?” Avery said, her voice shaking. She started printing the files out, she stood up immediately and went to the printer and took the printed files.

She took the papers from the printer and looked through it, it has the company's name and another name Annabelle Covers, it said the company and everything that is in it, is being transferred to Annabelle Covers, there's also another name that she didn't expect to see, Michaels Jeans Lincoln.

Luck tried opening it, but it didn't open, he tried again and the laptop opened, he started checking the files, but then stopped, he turned and looked at Avery and Eric.“I think the person who owns the laptop knows we are coming, they built a firewall around the files, if I put in the wrong password everything including the file will self destroy”Luck said, adjusting his glasses.

    They all turned around and Avery's eyes bulged out in shock.What is he doing here?Abram stood up immediately.“Mr MacMillies, to what do we owe this visit” he said offering him the couch.“I came to get my wife,” Eric said, looking at Avery.“Y-your wife?” Avery's askedAmma and Abram looked at her in surprise.“Uhhh, you are the wife sis” Abram said with a small smile.Avery scowled at him and looked away.

    “What?” Amy shouted, holding my hands.“Why would he do something like that? Is he deranged or something?” “I don't know, but all I know is that the New York cops have been looking for him for a long time,” Avery said, putting a fruit in her mouth.“But the one that baffles me the most is what he said, that Andrew Richardson lives amongst us” Avery said thinking.“Hmmm that's weird” Amy said.“Yes, I wanted to ask for more details before he got mad, that means, we might have been talking to Andrew Richardson and we might not even know about it,” Avery said, looking everywhere.“Isn't he an old man?” Eugene asked“Hmmm rumors had it that he's an old man who uses a walking stick, but there is no proof of him or pictures of him,” Amy said.“That means it will be difficult to catch him” Eugene said.“Difficult is an understatement, more than difficult, if he's part of us it means he knows our plans and everything” Avery looked around “If he's an old man, that also means he has people wo
