FAZER LOGINAvery WintersTwo Weeks LaterCan I say I’m proud and happy to be called Mrs. Avery Reed?Well, I’m not entirely sure yet.But one thing I can say for sure is that I like the way things are going between Xander and me.It’s been a week since my marriage to him, and the only word I can use to describe everything is… PERFECT.Funny enough, I’ve found myself loving the title Mrs. Reed that has now been bestowed upon me.Surprisingly, I had no idea this man owned so many properties here in New York until I got married to him.He owns tons of beautiful houses.No, calling them houses is an understatement.They’re mansions.Especially the one we’re currently staying in.It’s beautiful, luxurious, and surprisingly comfortable. I’m enjoying every bit of it.And my relationship with him… If there’s any word to describe it other than perfection, then I honestly don’t know what it is.Weeks ago, I decided to accept my reality, believing that being stubborn and constantly trying to fight against
Avery WintersStaring into his deep ocean eyes, all I could see was concern.I didn’t know if I was right about it, but I was almost certain that was what I was seeing in his eyes at that moment.Slowly and gently, I removed his hands from my face while still holding his gaze.“Can you please just cancel this whole marriage thing?” I pleaded. “I’m… I’m not interested in it. I… I don’t want to be your wife, please.”Desperation was evident in my voice as I hoped he would say yes to my request.But instead, the expression on his face changed.The calmness disappeared, replaced by coldness.Without saying a word, he moved farther away from me and sat back properly in his seat.I stared at him, stunned.He fastened his seat belt, started the engine, and drove off.After that, he didn’t say another word to me, and I didn’t bother talking to him either.We were both lost in our own thoughts.Even though I had so many things I wanted to say to him, somehow, I couldn’t bring myself to utter a
Avery WintersA week after the drama between Alexander and me started, it was now all over the news.“ALEXANDER REED AND AVERY WINTERS ARE ENGAGED AND SOON TO BE MARRIED!”That had been the headline for the past few days.Alexander and I had now become the talk of the town. I had become the center of discussion for everyone in the country, all thanks to him.Please, note the sarcasm because, if there was one thing I hated, it was being in the news and having people talk about me.Nathan and I were now on good terms again. We were back to how we used to be. Despite him telling me that Alexander wanted me wholeheartedly, it was still hard for me to believe.Why?Because Alexander kept threatening me, using Dad’s company as an excuse to have his way with me.Maybe he knew Dad was my weakness.Out of everyone in this house, I could boldly say that Dad was the person I loved wholeheartedly. I loved everyone dearly, but with Dad, it was always different.And that was why I was still regrett
Alexander Reed“Hey, ladies,” Noah said in a fake high-pitched voice as he approached us. We were all at our usual club, having fun as usual.“Fuck you, Noah,” Mason hissed, and we all burst into laughter.“Where’s Nathan?” Noah asked as he took a seat beside me.“Busy with work, I guess. He couldn’t make it tonight,” Ethan answered.Noah ordered a drink before Mason turned to face me.“Xander…?” he called.“Hmm?” I hummed, raising a brow as I sipped my drink.“Do you really want to marry Avery?” he asked.I gave him a strange look as he said that.“Look, I know you’re not the type to joke about something like this, but it still feels strange. I also know you haven’t been with another woman since what happened between you six years ago, but marriage isn’t something you just jump into, Xander. It takes a lot of effort and sacrifices, and I don’t think you two are ready for that yet.”“What do you mean?”“She’s Nathan’s sister. Hurting her is the same as hurting Nathan… one of us. Plus,
Avery Winters It’s been three days since the announcement of my wedding to Alex. After telling my family that I had agreed to marry him, the wedding preparations began. Everyone has been busy, especially Mom. She seems so happy about the whole thing.Scarlet, as always, has been very supportive too, helping out with one thing or another, especially the wedding dress. She made sure to focus on that. As for Sarah, she’s hardly ever around the house. She either comes home late or makes excuses about work.Well, I’m not bothered. After all, this whole thing is nothing but fake. Deep down, I know Alex doesn’t feel anything serious for me. He only lied to my family, making them believe that he loves me.He already made it clear that he would never allow himself to be used and dumped. According to him, it would only be over when he says it’s over. I’m also aware that all he wants is another taste of me.Well, he can keep wishing.Nothing like that is ever going to happen between us again.H
Avery Winters“W-What are you trying to do?” I asked, stuttering.He didn’t reply. Instead, he moved closer until he was standing right in front of me. And before I knew it, I felt a sharp tap on my forehead.“Ouch!” I yelped, rubbing the spot where he had just hit me. Opening my eyes slowly, I watched him sigh before taking a seat beside me and pulling me into a tight hug.“Nathan…” I called his name, trailing off. This hug felt different. It was as though he was trying to tell me something through it.“Don’t ever do this again. You scared me to death. I thought… I thought I made a mistake by saying yes to Xander’s request.”I pulled away from the hug and stared at him in confusion. “What are you talking about?” I asked, but he only sighed again.“I’m not supposed to tell you this because it was meant to remain a secret between Xander and I, but… I just can’t keep it to myself anymore.”Judging from the look on his face, he seemed sad and troubled.“Hey, what are you talking about?”
