“ Oh, welcome Avery" Ava called out, sounding all sweet and cozy.Avery paused to see Ava walk up to him. He hadn't been expecting to see her here and wondered what game they were trying to play right here.“What are you doing here? Who invited you over?" Avery asked sternly as she tried clocking her hands around his.Ava, hurt by these words, stepped back a bit, her face downcast on being rejected even before she could attempt.“ I did," Victoria's voice rang out as she replied.“ I thought it was only going to be a family meeting. Why then allow a stranger to reside in our condo?" Avery asked with a scorn etched on his. He knows well enough that his vicious stepmother will be looking for means to get him to be with Ava again.He ignores her and walks to the empty set aside for him. He sits beside Henry who kept his head down since he walked in. On his right is his father, Richard Tamer, who destroyed the family after he had taken a second wife and tried stealing the company from Ave
The moon illuminated my path as I walked down to my house, ignoring the stares and probably curses I got from people I pushed past, not even bothering to look back and give them an apology.I had gone to see my supposed 'faithful' boyfriend, Shane without really telling him I was coming, only to see him tangled up with the woman he told me not to worry about because she was 'just a friend'.He told me he didn't want sex from me if I didn't want to give him, he was ready to wait till we got married. He was going to be patient, but I guess humans would always be humans.I only looked at them and walked away, I didn't scream, I didn't cry. I just walked away.Shaking my head to clear the images of my boyfriend, no ex-boyfriend naked on the bed with another female, I continue my walk back home, maybe a drink or two before I sleep would help me get my mind off it.The screeching sound of tyres and a loud noise made me pause in my tracks. A scream could be heard as a car flips, landing few
I am thrown into a cold cell, loosing my landing and falling on the cold floor."You would sleep here for a while." Veronica, Richard's wife sneered at me, the gate banging shut and getting locked.No, I can't be here. Who would take care of my father?"I can't stay here. You have to let me out. I didn't do it. Please believe me." I screamed, running to the jail bars to try and convince them to open it.They can't do this to me, they know I didn't do it. I only helped to bring him here. Then why are they doing this to me."Oh, we know honey that you didn't try to kill him. Someone just has to take the blame for me, and that someone is you." Veronica smiled wickedly at me, turning around to walk away, my chance of being set free gone along with her.I shouldn't have helped him. I should have just let him be when I saw the car crash. Then this wouldn't have happened.If i had just minded my business, I wouldn't be locked up.Just in one night, I found out Shane is cheating on me, I 'hel
Bella Davis POV_The sound of keys rattling makes me look up, the dimness of the cell making it hard for me to really see who was coming in."You're free to go." The police officer throws the door open, waiting for me to leave.I stare at him confused, unsure of what to do. Was he being serious or was this some kind of joke."What are you waiting for? Leave. Or did you form a bond with the mice here and now you can't leave your friends behind.", He mocks laughing along with his friends.With a scowl on my face, I leave that place without hesitation. Ignoring the mocking gazes of the police menThe moment i step out of the police station I am enveloped in a hug, the smell of mint and wood wafting into my nostrils.My first thought was to scream assault, but the voice that follows through makes me pause."Are you alright?" Avery asked me still holding me closely. Isn't he supposed to be in the hospital right now?Wait. Hold on. Did he just ask if i was alright? Did he hit his head so ha
_Bella Davis' POV_I stared at the multiple papers that were sent to me this morning from West Tech industry (that was the name of Avery's company). I thought Luke was actually joking when he was talking about me pretending to be Avery's girlfriend yesterday, seems he was actually quite serious.I flip through the papers i was expected to read and sign by this twelve noon, and I was expected to memorize at least some basic things in Avery's life because I would be going to see him by twelve noon as well.Today is going to be a long day.I looked at the wall clock by my left, the time is currently fifteen minutes past nine so i had barely three hours to read and memorize everything I could about the obnoxious egotistical billionaire Avery Tamer.Just great.Grabbing the cup of coffee I just made and moving over to my tiny table by the wall side, careful not to hit anything in my cramped up apartment which was really just a single room.I set the papers down, taking a sip frombmy cup an
_Veronica Tamer POV_"I can't believe he survived the car crash" Henry, my first son cussed, his hand on his waist and a bottle of liquor on his other hand.Yes, I can't believe he survived too. He was supposed to have died then. But then that girl, she had to go and save him, if she ignored him like everyone one else did then he would have been dead now. It made all my efforts go to waste."But he's still alive and he also lost his memory so we should use that to out advantage. We need to take the company from him and kill him too. We need to do it fast. Use his memory lose and make him seem incompetent in front of the shareholders."But that girl Bella might be a problem. When did they both start dating? I haven't seen her with him before except that one time. Something doesn't seem right._Bella Davis POV_I am immediately pulled into a hug the moment i step into the apartment. The familiar smell of Avery Davis filling my nostrils for the second time this week. I want to push his a
_Bella Davis POV_I stared up at the hospital building for a few minutes before walking in. My father was recently admitted here and I came to check up on him again."Hey, Bella." Mark, one of the doctors here who knows me greeted me, I smiled and waved at him. Almost everyone knew me here, I was here because of my father all the time. I jogged up the staircase, walking into his room just to find him sleeping, he slept a lot these days, he was too weak to stay awake, according to the doctor.My father was diagnosed with heart disease a few years ago. And without money to treat it, his health condition has gotten worse."Hi, dad." I greet not expecting any reply.He needed surgery done soon but we didn't have any money to pay for it. That's why I had to take Luke's offer.After sitting beside him for a while, I stand up to leave."Bella? Is that you?" He asks weakly and I turn to him, sitting once more. "Yes, Dad.""How are you doing, my angel?" He asks, his voice barely audible."I'
_Bella Davis POV_"I asked a question. What is going on here?" He repeats his question, staring between Veronica and me.I had to act before she did."Avery." I cry running to him. Running into his arms, I hold him sniffling. It was fake tears but they didn't have to know that."Why are you here?" Avery asks Veronica holding me tightly. Veronica looks at me and smiles, probably seeing through my act, she was already suspicious of me. I just have to make sure she never exposes me in front of Avery.I needed to do something to throw this all in my favor." She was already inside our home when I got home and she asked how much you paid me to be with you, she thinks you paid me to pretend to be your girlfriend. She doesn't believe that I love you. She said I'm faking it." I cried holding Avery tighter.Well, that should do it, I just needed to get out of this, just this once, and then I'd be good. The temperature in the room drops immediately, getting colder all of a sudden."You are do
