“It has been a long year, right? Let’s get divorce now.” Noah said. He stared at Averill, watching her reaction but to his surprise, Averill smiled at him. “Ahm, do you have a pen? I don’t have mine at the moment,” she said, her voice as clear as the blue skies. Noah felt more bitter as he handed her the pen. “Thanks,” Averill said.She placed the folder on the island bar, sat on the stool and read the divorce papers. Noah watched her from the side, ‘What’s taking her long?’ Irritated, he sat beside her. “Just f*cking sign it, Averill. It’s not like I put some shady thing in there, it’s just divorce papers–”“Oh, were you waiting? I already signed it. I was just thinking about something, sorry about that,” she smiled. Noah was stunned with the sweet and gentle smile that Averill had shown him. He never saw that smile before, that smile who looked pleased… he felt a pang in his chest.‘Hah, I knew it. This is what you wanted. You must have signed it after seeing that I’ll give you

Same night when Averill signed the divorce papers. When Noah went out of the house, she slumped to the floor. ‘It finally gave up, huh?’ she thought as she stared at her trembling knees. A tear fell from her eyes… then a fall followed it through. She cried and wept as she reminisced the days they spent together. All the sweet kisses at night, the hugs that warm her cold being… all the wishes she prayed every night are now shattered. He still complied with the contract they had. One year. One year and it’s all over. One year and they’ll divorce each other. Funny how Averill thought it would be different the moment Noah looked at her with caring eyes, asking her to date him. It was all nonsense. Maybe Noah was just appeasing himself with the loss of their child or maybe because he knew that Yanna was planning to marry John Hulson and he needed someone to replace her temporarily. Averill had all these thoughts while holding her knees close to her body. After a while, she received

Averill’s POV“What did you just say?” I could feel my hand trembling as the doctor relayed her diagnosis to me. SHe looked at me, confused. I sat properly from the bed and again, asked her, “Can you repeat that for me, doctor?” I asked again, tearing up.I can’t believe what I just heard and I need her to tell it to me again.“You’re four weeks pregnant, Ms. Hursen,”I don’t know how I went home after that. I looked at my phonebook but I don’t have anyone whom I wanna tell this news to. I put my phone back in my pocket and stared at my messy room. It has been a month since I divorced Noah and it also has been a month since I lived in seclusion.Not that secluded though.My father insisted that I live in his penthouse in New York so I had no choice but to comply. Good thing I agreed since it would be hard to find a property appropriate for my soon to be child…I touched my belly, but there is really nothing to feel there besides my skinny tummy. Jeez, I had nothing but junk and alcoho

“It’s the first time I invited you out of the country after a month so don’t make a face, Noah,” Brian scowled at him. They are currently attending a wedding party of Brian’s cousin. “Why the hell should I even be here?”“Ask your secretary because he nagged me to beg you to come,”“Should I fire him?” Noah sighed. He looked around the ocean of people but there was no one that caught his interest. No one until a woman in a black evening gown appeared from the entrance. She immediately caught Noah’s eyes but she’s still talking with a woman.Noah felt his heart racing like a horse as he looked at her. No. This should not be it. He should not feel like this.

“Averill! Thank God, you scared us, you know that??” Averill stared at the ceiling like it was a familiar one. Ahh, she’s in the hospital. She felt suffocated with that fact, she had come to hate hospitals after everything she’d been through.“What happened?”“We looked for you after you disappeared with Noah and found you lying in pain in a room. Noah was not there, where did he go? He just left you like that even knowing that you’re pregnant with his child—”“He did not believe me… he did not even hear me out.” Averill smiled sadly at Reese. The woman frowned and looked away, “Sorry, Avi.”“We should have not insisted that you come along,” she looked at her with eyes full of regret and worry. Averill chuckled at her, “Silly. It was my decision and besides, I think I won. You should have seen Noah’s face when I told him I should go back to acting,” Averill elaborated what really happened that night.Reese could only laugh with her as she hid her dejected feelings toward the woman she

“You never changed, Averill.”“And you never matured, Mr. Noah Dalton.” Leon, who was silently listening to the billionaire’s insults to his employer, stepped in. He glared at Noah and the latter frowned at him. Who is he to interfere? Not because his business is rising, he would have the privilege to freely talk to Noah and the billionaire felt irritated by that fact.He does not like it when someone speaks with him without his permission.“Mind you brown business, Leon Selestial.”“And here I thought you’d be a good business partner since Averill thinks highly of you in regards with business. You are nothing but an arrogant man who still acts petty after divorcing your wife. Let me clear one fact for you, Dalton. You divorced Averill.” Noah clenched his jaw, controlling his anger. He has had really bad anger issues since Averill left.“Leon,” the man glanced at Averill and looked away. If only his boss was half jerk as Noah, it would have been a better fight. But Averill is differe

[Mowmy, when are you gonna be howm? Hmm?] Niana rolled over the bed while holding her phone. She pouted at Averill and she laughed at her hilarious, cute, little face.“Mom still needs to finish some things over here, baby,” Averill explained, she then switched the camera, showing all the toys she bought for her daughter. The kid on the other line jumped in excitement as she called Shaun over her side to look at the toys.[I have a lot too, Niana,] the grumpy boy told her and he pulled her to his side and lied down. [Let’s sleep. Mom said we’ll get taller if we sleep early,] Averill chuckled at the maturity of the two-year old boy. He’s just three months younger than her daughter but he acts like he’s the older brother most of the time.The kid pouted but nodded at him. She then glanced at her mother and smiled brightly, [I’m gonna go and get taller, mommy! Don’t take too long or I’d be taller than you when you come back hihi,] “Ohh, I won’t be here for long, baby. Go and sleep, list

He asked Brian to drink with him but when he got there, Noah was already drunk, surrounded by a couple of paid women.“You can go now, Brian,” she did not even glance at the man.

“Where are we going mowmy?” Niana asked, still yawning. Even her eyes are half opened as she tries to keep them wide to look at her mother.“We’re going on a vacation, baby,” Averill told her. “But, you just came back! Aren’t you tired?” Niana hugged her arm, Averill is currently sitting on the bed, packing up their things. She smiled at the silliness of her daughter and picked her up. Averill laid Niana on her lap as she stroked her hair with her fingers.“I would never get tired if it’s for you, Niana,” Averill kissed Niana’s forehead. The child has fallen asleep already. It’s no surprise though, she was playing with Shiloah’s son for hours earlier with the toys Averill bought. No wonder she was this tired. “Wha
