Chapter 6 - Where do you think you are going?

“Is anything the matter? Don't you want to see your friend?” Andrew asked worriedly since Avery didn’t show any excitement.

Avery lowered her head and asked in a low tone, “Is Anderson downstairs too?”

“Yes. There are only four rooms in this house. One for the housekeeper, one for us, one for you, and the other for Anderson. Those rooms are all upstairs so you can’t avoid seeing him anyway,” Andrew explained. He just hoped to understand what Anderson was up to since he had promised to only reveal it after the wedding.

Avery saw nothing wrong in telling Andrew. He was like a father to her and was also soft-spoken. “He said that we shouldn’t cross paths until we meet again at the altar.”

Andrew was upset. Anderson was crossing the line and he didn’t like it at all. It felt like emotional abuse. “Ander said that?” He squinted and asked.

“Yes,” Avery confirmed, not knowing if it was the right thing to do.

“Then I’ll get rid of him for you or better still, let me send your friend over,” Andrew said. Since she wasn’t allowed to see Anderson before the wedding, it was just perfect for Joyce to meet her upstairs.

“Thanks, dad,” Avery smiled and said. 

Susan was having a headache, massaging her temple to ease the pain. What was Anderson up to? “Your friend has to eat first so it would take some time for her to meet you upstairs,” she said to Avery.

“No problem. I will just have my shower then. Thanks for everything mom,” Avery smiled and said. She was getting used to the wonderful couple and gradually making little eye contact with them. Susan's heart warmed at how flawlessly the word mum left Avery's lips. It made her miss Sophia.

“Thank you for doing this for my son. You are the only woman he wants and you can only understand our situation when you become a mother yourself one day,” Susan said with remorse. She hated that Avery was forced to marry Anderson. It made her feel selfish and she only hoped that Anderson’s reason would be worth it.

“I understand,” Avery said and lowered her head, ashamed of how she was planning to make Anderson’s life miserable after their marriage. Andrew and Susan made her feel guilty at the very thought of it all.

After Susan left, Avery threw herself on the bed. It was so comfortable that she felt lazy to lift herself from it. She decided to call Trent and tell him about the change of plans. Since it was a week before their wedding, she was sure that Anderson had taken the remaining days off. His father was still in the country and was going to run the company on his behalf.

Trent would find a way for them to meet. She couldn’t let Anderson win, never. She dialed Trent’s number but it dropped almost instantly. She tried again and again to no avail. Frustrated, she went to take a bath.

A few minutes after she finished bathing and was drying her hair, her door pushed open and Joyce rushed in, hugging her from the back.

“I miss you so much,” Joyce said dreamily. It was amazing to be united again.

“I miss you too much and please forgive me for not asking earlier but how is your mum?” Avery asked with remorse.

“She’s fine and the reason why I got to join you. I can’t believe that you are just telling me about your marriage. Did you break up with Trent? I called him right after you called and he said he was coming in tonight,” Joyce said with a blend of excitement and remorse. Avery was rather jealous. She hadn’t been able to reach Trent but Joyce did. 

“Trent is coming to New York?” She asked, not hiding her shock.

“Yes but he seems bitter,” Joyce revealed with a worried look. Avery dropped the dryer and let out a frustrated sigh.

“I tried to reach him but I couldn’t get through to him.”

“Then you should try again in a few minutes. I met Anderson downstairs. His friend is sweet and we chatted a little but Anderson was so chilly. How do you get along with him?” Joyce asked curiously. Judging from Avery’s personality, she knew that it wasn’t going to be easy.

“We don’t get along,” Avery said, confirming her suspicions. Joyce was worried.

“So why are you getting married?” She asked the pressing question. Marriage wasn’t something to toy with but this couple made it seem so.

“His parents are investing in my parent's business.”

Joyce was deflated at the revelation. She was four years older than Avery but she went to college late because of her mother. She was the only one who could handle her so her father stopped paying caregivers and hung the responsibility of taking care of the sick woman on her shoulders. Sometimes, she seemed okay and normal but other times, she was nothing to write home about, frustrating Joyce’s life. “So you are a business wife?”

“It seems so,” Avery agreed sadly. Joyce didn’t want to spoil her mood but still couldn’t help asking,

“How is Trent taking it?”

“I’m only doing this because he said he would come for me when his father hands over the company to him,” Avery said confidently. She trusted Trent and was certain that he would do as he said but Joyce had mixed feelings and asked,

“Ain’t you being mean? I’m just worried about Mr. And Mrs. Crown. They are so nice.”

Avery felt guilty but how could she spend the rest of her life with a man she didn’t love? It seemed far-fetched. “But I can’t live the rest of my life in a loveless marriage.” 

Joyce’s phone beeped, interrupting their conversation. She glanced at the screen of the phone and said,

“It’s Trent.” Her finger slid over the screen and she lifted the phone to her ear. Before she said a word, Avery pulled it from her and spoke,

“Trent, why are you calling her and not me?” She seemed upset. Joyce was her best friend but Trent was her man and certain lines had to be drawn. Trent apologized. 

“I’m so sorry but I kept trying your line and it wasn’t going through. Did anything happen to your phone?” He asked curiously. Now that Avery was in Anderson’s parents’ house, his level of concern for her increased.

“Yes, it broke but Anderson’s dad gave me a new one.”

“Wow,” Joyce exclaimed from the background when she saw the phone.

Trent instantly guessed that his contact on Avery’s phone had been tampered with. Anderson was capable of anything. Unfortunately, he couldn’t explain his beef with Anderson to Avery but that didn’t stop him from getting back at Anderson. “Avery, I need you to do something.”

“Anything,” Avery readily agreed.

Trent’s heart warmed, knowing that the girl loved him so much. “You have to sneak out of the house when everyone is asleep. Bring your new phone along.”

Avery was instantly gripped with fear and asked in a low tone. “Isn’t it risky?” If she was caught sneaking out to meet her boyfriend, it wouldn’t speak well of her as the decent woman she was, especially when Susan and Andrew treated her so well. She would also disgrace her parents.

Trent swallowed his dismay and said, “Avery, I’m here because of you. I’m already at the gate. As soon as you make it there, I’ll get you and don’t worry, I’ll bring you back in an hour or two, so no one would notice.”

Seeing the length he had gone through to see her, How could she refuse him? Besides, she missed him too. Trent wasn’t supposed to travel or leave his father’s company until his project was completed but he risked it all. A stink of adrenaline surged through her and she asked, “What about the security at the gate?”

“I will distract them so don’t worry,” Trent assured her.

“Okay.”

Trent was relieved and instructed, “When coming out, send me a text with Joyce’s phone.” If Avery sent the text message with her phone, he wouldn't receive it so this was the best way.

“Alright.”

When she hung up, Joyce was still exploring the phone Andrew gave Avery but dropped it. They began to talk about so many things until Joyce fell asleep. Avery changed into a pair of Jean trousers and a turtle neck since it was late and the weather was cold. 

She put on a pair of trainers and wore a jacket over her blouse. With her hair combed and cascading down her back, she put on a little makeup. She had to look good for Trent. 

Everywhere was quiet and the lights on the corridor were all out so she knew that everyone was asleep.

She picked Joyce’s phone and sent a message to Trent. ‘I’m coming out.’

‘Okay.’

As soon as she got the response, she dropped the phone, turned off the light and opened the door, closing it gently behind her. 

She tiptoed to the stairs and began to descend it one at a time. She used her phone as light, not daring to use the torchlight since that would be too bright. The brightness of her phone screen was enough for her.

Her heart was thumping so hard but Trent being at the gate gave her renewed hope. She made it to the one and half steel door and just as her hand was about to turn the knob, the entire living room brightened, as she heard the click sound of the light switch.

She froze and felt her heart run from inside her chest to her stomach, afraid of who had turned on the light, praying that it wasn’t Anderson. She shivered when a cold emotionless voice barked from behind her. “Where do you think you are going?”

    Avery’s fingers dug into the palm of her hands at the sound of the voice. She turned around shakily to meet Anderson’s cold and piercing gaze. His shirt was loose and three buttons from the top were opened. Though tired and angry looking, he was still incredibly handsome. Flushed, Avery lowered her head at the thought of a good excuse as her heart rate refused to return to normal.“Nowhere. I couldn’t sleep and wanted fresh air,” she said in a low tone with her head lowered. Anderson didn’t think she was up to anything bad but then, his eyes caught something and he grew suspicious. Why would she be all dressed up and wearing trainers if it was just for fresh air?“You could have stood at your balcony if that was the case.” His tone was slightly impassive and his voice lowered. Avery was happy that he believed her but knew that her plan was ruined.“Don’t forget that this isn’t my house and It’s my first time here. I was going to stroll in the garden,” she explained. Within a few days,

    Avery lifted her head a little and saw that Anderson’s gaze had softened a bit. It was the best time to put her cards on the table as well. After thinking through her request for a while, she pleaded, “Please let me see Trent for the last time and end things with him myself.”Anderson almost believed her but love isn't something to be killed easily. Avery might be shy but also intelligent. She must be up to something again. He asked bitterly, “Why should I believe you? What if it’s a trick to elope with him?”Avery lifted her head and looked him in the eyes. “I will do no such thing, I promise.”Anderson was still not convinced. “You lied to me earlier.”Avery lowered her gaze in shame and apologized. “I’m sorry.”Anderson didn’t believe her but had to take his chances. This was his territory so what could Trent or Avery do? He turned to Joyce, who had been rendered speechless by Anderson’s mixed personality. “Joyce right?” Joyce nodded her head.“Your phone,” Anderson stretched his h

    Sophie and her husband Tom had paid them a surprise visit and Andrew was there too. Anderson was chatting with Tom while Susan hugged her daughter affectionately, Andrew was jealous.“Didn't you see me?” He asked, annoyed. He was hoping that his wife would hug him first but rather, Sophia got all the devotion.“Did we not wake up from the same bed?” Susan asked playfully and turned to Sophia, hugging her again as she asked,“What are you doing here?”Sophia, who has grown to look a lot like her mother, was beaming with smiles. “How can I miss my kid brother’s wedding?” “I’m not a kid,” Anderson growled. It's such a pain for a grown-ass man like him to be called a kid by a girl who was shorter than him.“You are still my little brother,” Sophia wagged her tongue playfully at him, making Tom chuckle. Anderson was even more irritated and said,“You know what Sophia, you should have stayed for your honeymoon.”“Sorry. You can’t get rid of me easily and where is the bride-to-be? I already

    Trent didn't dare to look at the pictures a second time. He could feel his heart on fire as confusion brewed in his mind. ‘Is Avery falling in love with Anderson? No, she's just playing her part. She can’t fall in love with him,’ Trent consoled himself and vowed to not look at the pictures again.Anderson had chosen the pictures that were accidentally taken. They looked as if he was intimate with Avery but they never had any form of intimacy during the photo shoot. Somehow, his trick worked and Trent was sore.He recalled the card and was confused as to whether to attend the wedding or not. But how would he be able to see Avery again if he doesn’t go? His hand that was balled around the invitation card loosened together with the picture, as he singled out the invitation card and began to straighten it the best way he could. The wedding was strictly by invitation so he couldn’t get there without it.Upon second thoughts, he was washed with a greater confusion. Wasn’t Anderson afraid th

    When it was time for the reception, Anderson would not let Avery out of his sight. Not when Trent had accepted his invitation and was boiling with rage. Avery had played her role well but Anderson knew that she still wanted Trent and came up with a plan.It was time for their first dance and Avery was nervous. After she saw how broken and pained Trent was, she didn’t want to get close to Anderson in any way to cause Trent any more pain than he already felt and a couple's first dance was just the opposite.“I don’t feel well,” she said in a low voice and Anderson was disturbed until she added, “can we skip the dance?” A smirk appeared in the corner of Anderson’s lips. The little girl wanted to outsmart him.“It’s not possible, my dear wife but what is wrong with you? I have a doctor friend around,” his smirk widened.Avery paled instantly. Sure thing the doctor would find her out. “It’s alright, I’ll manage.”Anderson didn’t respond but let out a satisfactory smile. Trent would feel to

    Avery was chatting with Joyce when she saw a familiar figure. Joyce was facing her and hadn’t seen the person so when Avery excused herself, she didn’t suspect anything. Trent signaled Avery to follow him and began to walk away. He didn’t stop and walked ahead while she followed from behind as such, no one saw them walking together and no one suspected they were going to meet somewhere.When Trent got to the chocolate fountain where a lot of people were, he moved further to where there weren’t many people. Avery followed and caught up to him.From the hedges decorated with lights, they weren’t easily seen. Avery walked faster and hugged him from the back. “I’m sorry, I hurt you.”Trent turned to face her, leaving a little gap between them. He didn’t want both her and himself to fall into trouble but neither could he hide what he felt when he saw them kissing like two love birds. “I was afraid that you had fallen for his charms.”“Never. I will never fall for him,” Ava said with determ

    Anderson led his mother to a less crowded area and said seriously, “it's a revenge thing mum.”Susan was baffled. Above all her imagined reasons, revenge wasn’t one of them but then, certain things began to make sense. “Is the guy you were arguing with Avery's ex?”“Yes.”Susana was distressed after the understanding sank in. No wonder Anderson didn’t tell her until after the wedding because he knew that she wouldn’t have agreed. “How could you, Ander? You know that I wouldn't have allowed it. Why did you separate two people in love, knowing that they are still in love with each other?”Anderson was equally better. No one would understand him until they heard the full story but it was a story he didn’t want to share with anyone. “I deserve love too mum.”“So find a woman and let her fall in love with you.” Susan was suddenly feeling hot in the cool garden. How could Anderson entangle a fellow couple's daughter in his quest for revenge? It didn't make sense to her.“I tried before but i

    Anderson’s gaze was soft and he said seriously, “First of all, I want you to forgive me.” He felt her stiffen under his touch and smiled a little. Confusion rummaged through her mind and it felt like a dream if not for the fact that his hand on her thigh felt real. Anderson was acting strange and Avery couldn’t guess why.“For what?” She asked in a low tone while she let her head down, forcing him to release her chin. Anderson chuckled.“For stealing you from your boyfriend but trust me, I have no evil intentions against you. So do you forgive me?” Any woman would carry grudges with a hardened heart against the man who separated her from the one she loved. Anderson had felt that way before so he knew exactly how to make the correction. From how sincere he sounded, Avery felt her heart soften towards him.“Yes.”Anderson maintained his smile and said surprisingly, “Then I also forgive you.”Avery was lost. “I don’t understand.”Anderson cleared his throat and removed his tuxedo suit.

    A week passed. Ace would drop Rebecca at school and wait till her lectures were over. Then he would take her to the hotel. The detective sent the information he was looking for and it was confirmed that Rose was still alive and everything had been set up. Carlos had eyes on Rebecca’s family’s wealth and was also obsessed with her beauty. Ace ordered Carlos’s sister to be brought from wherever she was, which took two days since she was vacationing in Hawaii. The detective suggested that he’d be around when the questioning was done and also suggested that Rebecca returns to the apartment to help them to arrest Carlos. As expected, two hours after Rebecca returned to the apartment, Carlos and a group of guys were headed that way. As soon as they entered Rebecca’s room without knocking, the detective, and a few policemen, made their way there. “It seems to me that you like the hard way, Rebecca,” Carlos said when he entered her room. Rebecca was busy on her laptop when they barged in. S

    “You can’t do this. I said that no sex before marriage,” Rebecca said firmly, while Carlos dragged her to the door of her apartment. She was upset with the stupid request, looking for a way to escape this captivity she brought upon herself. “I agreed to that but what about kissing?” Carlos argued. He needed some intimacy, some kind of assurance from her. That would make him believe that she had indeed broken up with Ace but Rebecca was not ready to give in. “Please don’t do this. I’m not ready.” “Just open the door,” Carlos ordered, annoyed. Rebecca’s hand shook and the keys fell. Carlos knew that she was doing it intentionally. “Do you want me to tell everyone what you did?” He threatened her. She stiffened but quickly regained herself. “No.” She quickly picked up the key and unlocked the door but just before pushing it open, a strong force grabbed her arm and pulled her into his arms. His soothing cologne scent brought her so much comfort. Ace spoke to Carlos’s hearing, saying,

    “Autumn, can you take care of the company for a month? There is something I need to take care of,” Ace walked into Autumn’s office and spoke.Autumn’s brows knitted, and she massaged her nape slowly, she responded saying, “I can. But I won’t, and you know why.” “I know that you are getting married soon. I will make sure that I finish everything way before then, I promise,” Ace soothingly said but Autumn shook her head. “That is not my reason and you know that mum and dad are among the board members, accessing our performance. Tell me what you are going to do or I won’t cover up for you,” She said solemnly sipping a cup of coffee. Ace went to hug her from behind, saying sadly, “Rebecca broke up with me.” Autumn froze and picked up her phone. “What? Let me call her.” Ace snatched the phone from her, straightened himself, and said, “No. Don’t. I suspect something and I need time to handle it so please trust me on this,” he pleaded. Autumn thought for a while and said, “If it's for

    Another ten years passed. It was Ace and Autumn’s graduation ceremony. Everyone was happy except Rebecca. Ace has been there for her at all times and she began to feel the emptiness. Autumn has been her best friend, aside from being family friends and she wondered how she was going to cope without these two. They were two years ahead of her and she always feared this time of loneliness, which came too soon since they lived in apartments. Rebecca had shared the room with Autumn and Ace visited frequently. “I promise to visit you every weekend,” Ace said solemnly. This was not the first time Rebecca saw him in a suit but today, he looked breathtaking. It was no wonder that all the girls swooned over him but Rebecca had always prodded herself over the fact that Ace only had eyes for her. He made his intentions known but aside from a hug, and a peck here and there, they never got intimate. Ace brought out a ring and slipped it on her finger. “I promise to marry you after you graduate fr

    A month earlier Anderson had returned from dropping Avery off at school. As soon as he sat on his seat, his intercom rang. He pressed the answer button, putting it on speaker mode. “Liana.” “Mr. Crown, Mr. Trent Baker is here to see you,” Liana said from the end of the line. Anderson’s browns creased, imagining the reason for this visit. After a pause, he said, “let him in.” Trent walked into the office and Anderson offered him a seat. “How may I help you, Trent?” Anderson asked with indifference, not bothering to offer Trent anything. It was not as if they were friends. “It’s about Bernice.” Anderson stiffened slightly. For a while, he has forced himself to ignore some intermittent sadness in Avery which she would not speak about. He already knew it was because of Bernice and never forced it out of Avery. Now he was wondering what was Trent’s catch in all this as well but somehow, he also did not want anything to change his mind, thereby responding coldly,“I don’t want to talk

  • Spoiled and Pampered by my Cold CEO Husband   Chapter 135 - Welcome, Ace and Autumn

    Avery was in her second trimester and her energy level was at its peak. She dragged Anderson to shop with her at the Crowns maternity and kids store. A week ago, Anderson had ordered her enough maternity clothes to last her till the twins were born. He would drop her at school, and wait for at least ten minutes until she sent him a text message that she was in class. He would also arrive twenty minutes earlier to pick her up after school. When Anderson thought it to be too much, he would excuse her from work to rest a day or two. Susan supported them greatly, ensuring that Avery ate highly nutritious foods and took her vitamins. Avery was gradually happy but still, anytime she remembered Yvonne, she felt saddened, hoping that amnesty would find her within a few years or a miracle would happen to reduce her sentence since Anderson had forbidden her from talking about it. The doctors confirmed her pregnancy to be healthy with no signs of complications, which was a great comfort, knowi

    Two months later Anderson went with Avery to the court to witness the judgment against Yvonne. They were surprised to see Trent there but he was in the company of a petite woman with brunette hair like Avery’s but the facial features were different. The woman looked very innocent like Avery’s early years in college. Seemed like Trent could not forget Avery and had to use someone with similar body features to help in that phase. For the past two months, the court battles were ongoing. Yvonne’s friends whom she had helped before, joined hands to help her with a good lawyer but the lawyer explained in simple terms that she would not win this case, looking at all the evidence brought out against her. The only thing they could do was to find ways of reducing the jail terms thereby appealing to the court that Bernice was not aware of Avery’s pregnancy so the judgment of assaulting a pregnant woman was reduced. Yvonne also pleaded that her intention was not to hurt or shoot Avery with the g

    “Yes. I am pressing charges for attempted murder, assault on a pregnant woman, and like you said, illegal possession of arms,” Anderson listed the crimes that should send Yvonne away for at least twenty years. By the time she was out, she would hopefully learn her lessons. “It seems she will spend a long time behind bars. I had her chained to the bed and as soon as she recovers, we shall begin to process her to court. I already spoke to Liam and will be going to meet him from here. What about the man in the video?” The detective asked again. “Yes, I am pressing charges against him too. He almost ruined my wife’s reputation and he has to pay. Let Liam handle the rest. I have to take care of my wife,” Anderson said solemnly. “All right. If we need any further information, we will contact you and even speak directly to your wife. The video is clear evidence but we might just need more,” the detective said. “I don’t have a problem with that,” Anderson agreed, just before Martin and Joy
