Avery woke up feeling refreshed and grateful that it was the weekend, which meant she didn't have to face Maxwell's scowl after everything that had transpired between them.

The first thing she did was pick up her phone from the nightstand, and to her utmost surprise, she found a series of unanswered calls from Evan.

As she recalled last night's events, after she'd cried her eyes out, she had wanted to wait for Evan to return but instead had fallen asleep. Staring at her phone, wondering if h

  • THE CEO'S HIGH SCHOOL SURROGATE   Completely yours

    Avery collapsed onto the terrace sofa, phone in hand, scrolling through the photos she had taken during the day. The Duomo, the Ponte Vecchio, the Uffizi Gallery… every picture captured her excitement, her laughter, and Evan’s soft, protective glances.With a grin, she posted them to her social media account, captions simple and joyful: “First day in Florence! Loving every moment with my two favorite boys”Almost instantly, the notifications started pouring in.Maddie: “OMG STOP. Are you serious?? Jet-setting in Italy while we’re stuck at home? I hate you a little ”Lacy: “Okayyyyy Avery… HOW does Evan look at you like you’re the only person in the world?! I can see it through these pics!! ”Natalie: “Brooo… you’re glowinggggg and that little baby outfit?? I’m literally screaming!!

Don’t hate me too m

    The jet landed smoothly in Florence, the Tuscan sun bathing the city in a golden glow. Avery pressed her face to the window as the rolling hills and terracotta rooftops stretched out beneath them.“This is… unreal,” she whispered, awe in her voice.Evan’s arm wrapped around her shoulders as they disembarked. “It’s beautiful, isn’t it? And it’s just for us.”Avery glanced at him, smiling. “I can’t believe this is happening. I’ve never traveled like this before.”Evan chuckled softly. “You’ve never traveled with your billionaire husband either.”She rolled her eyes playfully. “You’re enjoying reminding me, aren’t you?”“Every second,” he replied, brushing a strand of hair from her face. “But I’m serious, wifey. This trip is about you and our baby. Nothing else.”A sleek black sedan was waiting to take them to their hotel, a beautiful boutique villa overlooking the Arno River. The driver stepped out to open the doors, but Evan remained by Avery’s side, his protective presence obvious to

    The car finally pulled into the long driveway of the estate.As soon as the vehicle stopped, the driver stepped out and opened the door for them.Evan gently helped Avery out of the car, instinctively placing a steady hand on her waist.“You know I’m capable of walking on my own,” Avery teased.Evan looked at her calmly.“Yes.”“But you won’t let me.”“No.”Avery laughed as they walked toward the mansion together.Inside, the house staff greeted them warmly before returning to their duties.Avery kicked off her shoes the moment they stepped into their room, letting out a small sigh of relief.“Finally,” she murmured.Evan loosened his tie, watching her carefully.“Long day?”“A little,” she admitted as she sat on the edge of the bed.He walked over to her, crouching slightly so he was at eye level.“Are you tired?”“Not really.”Evan studied her for another moment before nodding. “Good.”“Why?”“Because we have packing to do.”Avery’s eyes widened slightly.“Oh right! The Italy trip!

    The moment the Rolls-Royce disappeared down the road, the quiet outside the school gate exploded into chaos.Students immediately surrounded Lacy and Maddie.“Wait, wait, wait!”“Since when is Avery married?!”“Is that really Evan Benson?”“Did she actually say she’s pregnant?!”Questions came from every direction, overlapping until neither of the girls could even hear themselves think.Lacy raised both hands in surrender.“Okay! One at a time!” she said, trying to calm the crowd.But that only made the curiosity worse.“Is she really his wife?”“Is that baby his?”“How long has this been going on?”Maddie exchanged a quick glance with Lacy before sighing.“Well… yes,” Maddie finally admitted.The reaction was instant.“What?!”“You’re serious?!”Lacy crossed her arms.“She’s happy, okay?” she said firmly. “And that’s all that matters.”“But she’s still in high school!” one girl argued.“And?” Lacy shot back. “She’s finishing school, taking her exams like the rest of us. What’s the pr

    The last day of school before the break arrived sooner than Avery expected.The campus was buzzing with excitement. Students filled the hallways, some celebrating the upcoming holidays while others anxiously discussed the final exams waiting for them after the break.For many of them, it also meant something even bigger.University.Applications had already been sent out to prestigious schools across the country, and everyone was waiting for acceptance letters that could determine the next chapter of their lives.Avery leaned against her locker, her hand resting unconsciously on her stomach as she listened to Lacy chatter beside her.“I swear if we both get accepted, we’re totally sharing an apartment,” Lacy said excitedly. “Can you imagine? No parents, no curfew, just freedom!”Avery laughed softly.“I don’t think Evan would agree with the ‘no curfew’ part,” she teased.Lacy rolled her eyes dramatically.“Well, you’re technically married now, Mrs. Benson. Your life is already ten ste

    The crowd gasped as whispers spread through the hall. Avery looked around at the people surrounding her, her heart pounding wildly in her chest. Evan still had his hand stretched out toward her, a charming smile on his face.Taking a deep breath, Avery placed her hand in his. Evan gently pulled her up onto the stage, his arm wrapping securely around her waist.Avery had no idea Evan had planned to reveal their marriage at Vanessa’s engagement party.Her eyes welled up with tears as she felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude. She felt blessed to be loved so deeply by him. She wasn’t sure if it was the pregnancy hormones acting up, but she suddenly had the urge to cry like a baby.Fighting the feeling, Avery cleared her throat and took the microphone from Evan. Looking around the hall, she smiled.“Wow, I had no idea about this,” she said teasingly. “And I definitely wasn’t trying to steal the soon-to-be bride’s spotlight.”Her words brought soft laughter from the audience, easing the
