As Avery and Natalie walked out of the gym, Natalie couldn't help but marvel at Maxwell's great basketball skills. "Well, who knew he turned out to be as good at basketball as he is at annoying people?" she taunted.

"He once mentioned he used to be the captain of his ex-school basketball team," Avery replied, taking a bite of her apple.

Natalie snorted loudly. "If you know he's a legend at basketball, why did you agree to his condition? Wait, do you really want to go out with him?" she asked, raising her brows in surprise.

Avery quickly fired back, "That's not the case! I promised! I totally forgot he's a basketball guru. There are just so many things going on in my head, and I guess Maxwell is just one of them now," she said, massaging her temples.

As the afternoon slowly came to an end, Avery and Natalie had to part ways. "Maxwell is here."

"Alright, you just have fun and loosen up a bit," Natalie said, giving her a smile before walking off.

Avery went over to Maxwell, who had been

    "Huh? I think you must be mistaken, Mr. Benson. You told me you're no longer in need of my services, and now you show up at my house asking me to come back with you?” Avery let out a breath in one go as she looked away from him.“Yes, I’m aware of that, and I didn’t show up at your house because I have a change of mind,” Evan explained calmly as he interlocked his fingers and placed his hands on his crossed legs.This made Avery’s breath shaky as she looked him straight in the eyes; her gaze was so sharp it felt as if she were trying to kill him with her eyes.“I just happen to feel guilty for breaking the contract without letting you know beforehand."This wasn’t what Avery wanted to hear. A look of disappointment clouded her features. She thought he would apologize for making the decision alone, without considering what she wanted.“Please, Mr. Benson, just leave my house. I don’t want the neighbors to think otherwise, especially knowing my mom is in the hospital,” Avery stated matt

    Avery's eyes snapped open, greeted only by darkness. She tried to move her hands and legs, only to discover that she had been tied up. It suddenly occurred to her that she had been abducted by some unknown men not long ago.Her heart sank as various devastating scenarios played in her mind, leaving her paralyzed with fear. "Hello? Is anyone here?" Avery yelled, her voice trembling. Her breath came in ragged gasps, and cold sweat beaded on her forehead, sticking to her hairline.The door swung open, and Avery heard slow footsteps coming towards her. She tried to maintain her calm, but she could swear she heard the sound of her heart pounding crazily, as if it was going to burst out of her rib cage.Avery's blindfold was abruptly taken off, the brightness of the room hitting her eyes, causing her to squeeze them shut for a moment as she tried to adjust to the light."Hey, dear!" a chilly masculine voice said, causing Avery to look up at the figure in front of her."Who are you?" she ask

    "Nothing," George answered as he consciously got to his feet, walking toward his grandson by the door."I thought you said you wouldn't be coming over for dinner tonight," the old man smiled at Evan, who had his gaze locked on Avery the entire time.Avery began to hiccup and used her hand to cover her mouth, feeling embarrassed by her repeated hiccuping. George snapped his fingers and immediately ordered one of his men to bring her a glass of water."Can I speak to you for a minute?" Evan said to Avery. He led the way, and she quietly trailed behind him. "What are you doing here, and what did you tell him?" Evan asked as they stood on the balcony.Avery hesitated and remained silent, earning herself a deadly glare from Evan. "I didn't come here willingly. Your grandfather sent his men to abduct me at school, and he already knows there's something between us," she said, crossing her arms over her chest.Evan scoffed loudly. "Was something between us?" he corrected before walking off, l

    Grace knocked on the door before entering her son’s room, with a maid following closely behind her carrying a bowl of hangover soup.Her expression tightened as she found Ivan still asleep, even though it was already noon. She tapped him on the shoulder, and as he woke up, he rubbed his eyes groggily.“Here, have some hangover soup and freshen up,” Grace said before turning to leave the room with the maid.“Mom, I’m sorry I messed up last night,” Ivan apologised sincerely, burying his gaze in his bedsheet.“That’s what you keep saying, Ivan. How much of this do I have to keep hearing for the rest of my life? You barely recovered from the last time, and last night, you still went ahead and wasted yourself,” she reprimanded in a disappointed tone.Ivan sighed loudly. “I’m just trying to get away from Dad and all this drama.”Grace crossed her arms over her chest. “You should reflect on your behaviour,” she said before leaving his room.A call came through for Ivan, and as he picked up,

    Ivan met up with Tara at the agreed location, which was a luxurious suite. She knocked on the door after looking left and right, making sure no one was watching her.“Welcome,” Ivan said dramatically, with his hands spread wide open and his legs lazily crossed over each other as Tara surveyed the room, taking off her sunglasses.Tara looked over at Ivan. “Tell me quickly, is Evan truly getting married?” she asked, the look of anxiety unmasked on her face.“Come on, Tara! Would I get you all the way over here just to play a prank on you?” Ivan couldn’t help but let out a scoff.Tara opened her purse and pulled out a huge stack of cash, slamming it on the coffee table in front of Ivan, who had a huge smirk on his face.“This is the money you demanded from me. You can count it to confirm if you want.”“I trust you, Tara. You’re like family to me. We have known each other for so long,” Ivan said as his gaze relaxed on the money.Tara pressed her lips together until they turned pale. “Don’

    Evan's eyes flew open as he looked right next to him at Avery, who was sleeping peacefully. He placed his finger close to her nose, making sure her breathing had evened out.He opened the drawer of the nightstand beside the bed and pulled out a small bottle with a white lid. He poured some of its contents into his palm before gulping it down.Soon after, Evan lay back down and returned to sleep. The next morning, Avery woke up to find arms wrapped around her, causing her eyes to widen in shock.Avery sprang up from the bed, the suddenness of her actions waking Evan, who sat up with groggy eyes. “What’s wrong?” he demanded, and Avery bit her lower lip, realizing she had overreacted.“It’s nothing,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper, before hurrying to the bathroom to freshen up for school.By the time Avery came out of the house, she was about to open the door to the backseat when the chauffeur opened the front seat door, leaving her confused.Understanding the look of confusi

    Avery met Evan a few blocks from their school building, at the exact spot she'd specified. She looked left and right cautiously before getting into the car, a strange feeling settling over her.He noticed her struggling with the seatbelt. “Let me do it,” he said softly, his hands grazing hers gently. A jolt of electricity shot through Avery.“How was school?” Evan asked, his gaze fixed on the road. Avery stole a quick glance at him but was caught when Evan suddenly turned his head in her direction.Avery froze for a few seconds, his question taking her aback. “It was fine,” she said, managing to find her voice.Evan hummed softly, and the rest of the drive passed in silence. She watched as the car turned into an estate, and she couldn’t help but look at Evan, confused. He wasn’t taking her home as expected; instead, he was taking her to his grandfather's, which didn’t sit well with Avery.“My grandfather invited us over for lunch,” Evan said as the car finally came to a halt outside t

    After dinner, Evan and Avery left immediately. As Evan opened the door for Avery to get in, he couldn’t help but notice how pale she looked. “Is everything okay with you?” Evan asked as he settled into the driver’s seat.“I’m fine, just a bit tired,” Avery replied with a small smile. Evan remained silent, as usual, while he drove them back home.As soon as they arrived home, Avery quickly took a shower and soon retired to bed. Evan entered the room and found her curled up like a worm on the bed. The air conditioner was on, and she wore a silk nightdress with thin straps that barely covered her knees.He shook his head in disbelief as he covered her with the duvet. Avery let out a low moan at the cause of his actions as she searched for a more comfortable position on the bed, which made Evan smile subconsciously.Evan gently lay down next to her and turned off the lamp by the nightstand, letting darkness take over the room.The following morning, Evan drove Avery to school.

    Maxwell forced his way into the crowd; he looked as angry as a bull in a china shop. He pushed Cynthia and the rest of her teammates aside as he helped Avery up. Just then, the principal entered, and everyone hurried back to their respective classes.“Are you okay?” Maxwell asked hurriedly, carefully lifting her off the ground and fixing her hair, which was all over her face.“There’s a little cut on her face,” Natalie said worriedly, looking at the scrape on Avery’s cheek.The principal instructed them to take Avery to the health room for a thorough check-up. Natalie nodded and gently guided Avery out of the gym.“I’m so sorry I couldn’t protect you,” Natalie said, her eyes turning teary. “Who do you think made that video?”“It’s fine, Nate. They outnumbered us,” Avery muttered slowly. “As for the video, I have no idea.”Evan heard from the principal what had happened to Avery and immediately left work to go to her school.As she exited the school, she saw Evan’s car and made her way

    The next morning, Evan woke up to an empty space beside him. He touched the space; it felt cold and well-kept, making it obvious that Avery hadn’t spent the night in his bed.As he sat up, he held his head, feeling an unusual weight pulling him down. Evan recalled last night’s events, and his eyes widened in shock as flashbacks came to his mind of how he had kissed and touched her forcefully.A wave of shame and regret swept over him. He got up from the bed and got ready to start his day, deliberately wasting time so Avery wouldn’t have a choice but to go to school on her own.As Evan entered the company, feeling energized and positive to start his day, Felix informed him that Tara was outside requesting to see him.Tara was let in, and as she stepped into the office, she smiled sweetly at Evan. “Good morning, Evan,” she said as she dropped her bag on his desk and took her seat, her legs crossed over the other.“What brings you by?” Evan asked, uninterested, as he opened the laptop in

    This made Avery clench her fists tightly. She felt her breath stuck in her throat as an envious feeling washed over her. Maxwell, who looked in her direction, had his eyes darken as he saw his father's mistress, Tara, with another man.Avery watched as Tara and Evan sat at the same table and began to converse; his gaze was focused on Tara, acting as if he hadn’t seen her earlier.Maxwell felt like capturing a photo to use against Tara, but a feeling suddenly stopped him. He looked at Avery, who seemed invested in the scene. “Was she looking at Tara or the handsome guy she was with?” he couldn’t help but wonder to himself.“Do you want to get out of here?” Maxwell asked softly, and Avery nodded vigorously. She didn’t think she could bear the sight of Evan on a date with another woman.“I’ll have this packaged for you,” Maxwell said as he went to the counter to get it packed up. Just then, two teenage girls came up to Avery while chewing gum.“OMG! Your boyfriend is so dashing,” one of

    Venessa barged into Avery’s bedroom as soon as she heard about their arrival. “Avery! You guys didn’t come back last night. What were you up to? Huh?” she said, taking a seat on the bed while swinging her legs like a little kid.Avery, who was dressed in a baggy T-shirt and shorts with her hair tied in a messy bun, buried her face in her thighs, embarrassed to look Venessa in the eyes as she recalled what happened the night before.“Ouuu, someone is blushing so hard!” Avery’s ears turned red, making it obvious as her hair was tied in a messy bun.“Stop teasing me already!” Avery said finally raising her head from her thighs. She didn’t expect anything to happen between herself and Evan last night.When she had woken up in the morning, Evan was nowhere to be found. Her clothes were littered on the ground, showing how urgent they were with each other. As she got up from bed with the duvet around her chest, she felt her limbs felt weak as she quickly got dressed.She saw a little blue no

    Avery didn’t mean it that way. She had gotten emotional because she found someone who truly cared for her unborn baby, aside from herself and Natalie, and it warmed her heart to talk about her baby freely with someone else.But it seemed it was too late because Venessa was already hell-bent on getting both of them on a date. Ever since they got home, she had been singing its praises.As the sun began to set, Avery lounged on the bed, watching a seasonal reality show. Venessa rushed into the room, excited to inform Avery that she had successfully booked a reservation at one of the most popular steak restaurants in the city.“Did you convince Evan to go on the date with me already?” Avery asked, stunned, wondering what spell Venessa had cast upon him.“Oh, silly, don’t worry about that! It’s easy peasy to get him there. Just do one thing for me: I want you to freshen up and get ready while I try to round up my planning phase,” she said mischievously before leaving the room.Avery let ou

    “Venessa?” Tara said, surprised, as she cast a glance at Venessa before her gaze shifted to Avery beside her.“Hey,Ms Tara! Long time no see!” Venessa replied with a smile that felt somewhat forced. Once upon a time, they could have been referred to as besties; Venessa adored Tara, even though Evan wasn’t particularly interested in the alliance.But everything changed the day Tara decided to betray Evan by entering into a scandal with a wealthy business tycoon old enough to be her father.A mischievous smile crossed Venessa’s lips as an idea took shape in her mind. She looked at Avery and said, “So, which one are you going for, sis-in-law?”Those words felt like a slap to Tara’s face. She turned abruptly and stared at Avery, scanning her from head to toe. “Impossible!” she thought to herself.“Why would Evan be into a kid?” she questioned her inner voice. Just then, Venessa excused herself to use the restroom, leaving Avery and Tara alone in the same section.Tara surveyed the shelf p

    Evan was just about to leave for work when he opened the door to find long arms wrapped around his neck. He was stunned for a moment, unable to react. Once he regained his senses, he pushed Venessa away from his body.“Venessa! What are you doing here?” Evan exclaimed, looking as if he had seen a ghost.Venessa pouted her lips like a little kid who had been wronged. “Bro, are you not happy to see me?” She said, placing her hands on her waist.“Why didn’t you inform me you were coming?” Evan’s eyes travelled to the suitcase beside Venessa’s leg.“Since when do I need permission before visiting my cousin?” Venessa replied, a silly smile spreading across her face. She then inched closer to Evan, her lips brushing against his ear. “I was so eager to see my sister-in-law and my unborn niece,” she whispered.Just then, they both heard footsteps from behind, prompting Venessa and Evan to turn around in unison. They found Avery all ready for school.As Avery stood beside Evan, confused about

    As Richard left the office, he flashed a smile at Avery, who struggled to hide her confusion. Just before she could utter a word, Felix granted her permission to enter the office.There he was, seated at his table with a pile of paperwork in front of him. He seemed so immersed in his work that he was unaware of her presence, his rimmed glasses fixed at the bridge of his nose, and his expression very stern.Avery couldn’t help but blush as Evan caught her staring at him. Instead of saying a word, he gestured, “Have a seat,” indicating the chair in front of him.Noticing Avery’s gaze focused on his face once again, Evan subconsciously touched his face, wondering if he had something stuck on it. Feeling the glasses on his face, he took them off. “Everything okay?” he asked casually.“There’s something that has been bothering me, and I want to talk to you about it. I’m sorry for showing up unannounced,” Avery replied.“I noticed how quiet and distant you’ve been with me ever since you fou

    Avery walked onto the school premises and felt a chill run down her spine as she stepped into the hallway. Flashbacks from the previous day kept playing in her mind like a broken record.She tightened her grip around her backpack straps, waiting to be judged by the other students. To her surprise, no one was staring or pointing fingers at her; instead, they were all minding their business.As Avery made her way to her classroom, the room fell silent. She quietly took her seat, and before she could even settle down, the principal called for her.She couldn’t help but wonder if he had found out about her scandal as well. Avery knocked on the door before entering, her heart still racing with thoughts. “Ms. Daniels, please have a seat,” Principal Martin said with a smile.“I’ll get straight to the point. I heard about the recent incidents in your class and how you were bullied by Jenny and her friends. I want to assure you that you have nothing to worry about anymore, as the school author
