Thanks or all you support guys. Do you think Anderson was mean to Yvonne after all the promises he made to her?
“Wow, wow, wow, so what happened to the pregnant woman and how is she faring?” Anderson asked as soon as they reached the VIP ward where Sophia had been moved to. She pouted, knowing that he was teasing her, turning her face to the side, into the arms of Tom. Anderson chuckled and teased her further, “has it been up to a month since I last saw you? You have doubled in size in just a few weeks or is it a month?” “Ander, do you know how Avery will look if she gets pregnant?” Sophia suddenly found her tongue and asked. No pregnant woman wanted to accept that she had grown big. Sophia wasn’t an exception. Anderson smiled, unmoved by Sophia’s comparison. He got her just where he wanted. “I remember someone telling me she wasn’t ready. I don’t care how my wife will look when she gets pregnant. You were the one blabbing.” “Ander please, the pregnancy was my idea,” Tom pleaded, uncomfortable with Sophia’s discomfort. He appreciated that she didn’t fight it when he requested for them to begi
A few weeks passed and Anderson received a call from Tom, waking him from sleep. Sophia was in labor and he was scared. At the time she had the false labor, the pain had subsided before Tom arrived so being with Sophia and witnessing every contraction, his heart bled and he felt helpless.“How close is she?” Anderson asked worriedly. This was the toughest time in the life of a pregnant woman and he couldn’t help being panicked. Sophia had a healthy pregnancy but labor was still a fearful thing.“The doctor said she’s five centimeters dilated,” Tom said helplessly. Anderson had read a few things about labor and understood it better.“That means it will still take a few hours.”Tom felt like his head was going to explode as he screeched, “that’s too much.” Anderson was surprised that the man who so desperately wanted the child hadn’t read much about the process. Anderson was a lover of knowledge, always going out of his comfort zone. “Didn
A year and some months later Avery and Joyce graduated from college a year and four months ago. Anderson and Martin held a joint graduation party for their wives, inviting all their college friends. It was a successful party with all their friends and family in attendance. A month later, Avery began her post-graduate program with all seriousness. Anderson kept the pregnancy thing aside to make sure that she focused because he needed her to assist him directly at the company. That is, Avery worked and schooled together. It wasn’t easy but she and Anderson rubbed each other’s backs. She also perfected her driving skill a year ago, though she never used it much. Susan and Anderson visited every six months to see their grandson, using the opportunity to meet Avery and Anderson. Anderson ensured to visit his nephew twice a month. The boy was growing fast but was surprisingly calm. Sophia teased Anderson that his prediction was wrong but Anderson would tell her not to conclude until Nolan
Yvonne Sage went the extra mile. For a year and some months, she worked on her career, her looks, and her confidence. The last time she left NY, she did a lot of research on Avery, realizing that she was very intelligent. Instantly, she understood that that was what made Anderson addicted to the little woman, recalling how he had told her in time past to take her academics seriously. She also recalled how he was bent on enhancing her leadership skills which she found to be trouble by then. Yvonne worked on it all and beyond, not giving herself a moment’s rest. When she was done, she resigned from her job in Amsterdam when she heard about an opening for an Accounts manager at one of the Crown Investors branches. Since HR operated in the fairness of certain laid down rules, Bernice landed the job with her qualification and experience. She rented an apartment close to her office, devoting and pouring all her time into her work. She’d work overtime and go the extra mile, all the while ke
“Honey, can we speak privately?” Avery asked in a hushed tone, whilst taking another glance at the woman at the doorway. The first time she saw her, it was night and she thought the woman was beautiful but now, with that above-the-knee pleated skirt she wore with a matching handbag and black blazer, she was a wow. Avery was semi-formally dressed because she wasn’t supposed to be in the office today but for some reason, she didn’t feel intimidated by the woman standing at the doorway. Aside from all the blinding beauty, that woman was empty inside, for which reason she was chasing a man she could not have. A man who was legally Avery’s. “Let’s take a fifteen minute break. My wife and I have a few things to discuss,” Anderson announced, stood up, and ushered Avery out of the conference room to his office. The HR manager got a chair for Yvonne, a little away from the conference table since she didn’t have the approval she needed. At Anderson’s office, Anderson’s tongue was rummaging fi
Vida noticed the stunned look on her face, instantly knowing her reason. “Let’s go and order food. Mr. Crown eats here once a week and anytime he does, he orders food for his wife and carries it to her himself. If he comes alone, he will allow the waiters to serve him but with Avery, he always does this,” she explained calmly to Yvonne, whose heart was being pricked by each word. Why did Anderson have to show Avery so much love, especially in public in front of his staff when in the conference room, he behaved as if he was all high and mighty? Here was serving Avery’s food like a common servant in a suit. “It's demeaning. He is a CEO and should not do that.” Vida stared at her strangely. It’s because of women like Yvonne that men have stopped going the extra mile. They make it not worth the hustle. She countered and explained, “I find it rather romantic. Avery began working as an intern. The first time she saw Mr. Crown eating with his best friend, who was also his deputy, she walke
“Ander, I need your help.”Yvonne did not know where to start. With Anderson upset with her, she could not say directly that she wanted him back, putting it that way. Anderson had set a timer feeling upset by this arrangement Avery made. He just wanted to go back to the office, finish working on those documents on his desk and go home to make sweet love to his beautiful wife. The more time he spent here, the longer his stay would have to be in the office. He spat sarcastically,“That is the most interesting thing I heard today. With what? And how?”“For what Trent did to me. I need your help to expose him?” Yvonne explained, refusing to see the sarcasm and taking everything literally.“And why will I help you? Weren’t the two of you in love?” Anderson’s expression turned cold. For so many reasons he suspected Yvonne to be here, but this was not a part of it. Yvonne’s eyes turned glassy at how cold Anderson was towards her. Before, he was always wa
The ice emitted from Anderson made Yvonne’s waiting heart freeze. “Ander please…”“It’s Mr. Crown for you and what makes you think that I will help you to get revenge against Trent? From all the stupidity you spat out right now, he never forced you to date him so if you fell for his lies, then that is your problem” he cut her off and said in the same icy tone. He was not going to be nice to a desperate ex. Crazy things happened to his friends in college because of exes coming back so if Yvonne did not know, Anderson had already drawn the lines for her.“Please Ander, you are my only hope,” she pleaded. After all that Anderson heard, he could tell that even if Trent had not snatched Bernice from him, another man would have still done it. The two of them were never meant to be. He could not even be upset with Trent because he felt grateful to him.“I have nothing against Trent because he gave me the happiness I didn’t deserve by taking you away from me. I found someone who makes me happy
