“You mean Martin?” Anderson frowned and asked. His body was blocking the doorway so Nancy knew that the bedroom was off-limit for now. She nodded her head. Anderson wasn’t happy at all. This time belonged to Avery and he didn’t like the intrusion. “Tell him that I’m busy and will see him in two hours if he can wait.”“Okay,” Nancy turned to leave when Anderson called her back.“Nancy, please don’t come here again today for whatever reason,” he said politely but the woman deduced that it was a warning. He had a good point. Why should he be disturbed on his honeymoon?“Okay,” The woman said and left. Anderson couldn’t wait to have the younger maids back. This woman was old enough to be his mother so he didn’t like sending her on errands.When he returned, Avery was upset. “You are going to see him?” She asked while facing the large French windows. Good thing she could see everything outside but anyone outside wouldn’t see her. She was beginning to understand why Anderson left his luxur

“I’m sorry,” Anderson said apologetically but Avery ignored him, turned to the side, and got off the bed and to the closet. She wasn’t ready to wake up just yet because it was her resting time anyway. After two days, she would have to continue her internship and after that, the school would also resume. Anderson thought of making it up to her later in the day. He put on his pajamas and went to the door. As soon as he opened it, he was welcomed with a beaming smile. “There you are, kid brother.”Anderson’s brows furrowed. Did Sophia come to ruin his day? He was greatly angered. “I’m not a kid, don't call me that,” he hissed in annoyance. Sophia had a way of making him upset. So much for big sisters.Sophia’s smile refused to crack. She loved it when she broke her brother’s resolve. Men never liked to be called kid brothers, even when younger, and Anderson was no different. “Well I saw the world a few years before you did so you are still my kid brother,” Sophia continued to tease hi

Anderson didn’t want Avery to see him like that. She might think he was a violent person. He was about to lift himself but froze when Avery wrapped her small arms around him to help him up. A few of the maids and security men were around, their mouths refusing to close. They never thought their boss could be like this.“I'm sorry Love, am not always like this,” he apologized to her.“He deserved it,” Avery looked into his eyes happily and responded. Anderson was both surprised and relieved like never before, instantly locking his lips with hers. They only stopped when Sophia ran past them to Tom.She had screamed for Anderson to stop severally but it was as if she was talking to a stick. He didn’t hear her but Avery called him once and he stopped.Sophia was about to pull Tom from the ground but was surprised when he wrapped his arms around her thighs, sobbing like a child. “I’m sorry Sophia, I will get help.”Sophia comforted him. “I know. I will help you. We shall see the specialist

As they descended the stairs, the maids bowed in greetings. Anderson’s hand joined Avery's as he took her around the house. The poolside, the gym, the library room, the wine cabinet, the massage room, and all but the place that interested her the most was the garden.She sat there and read a book which Anderson had ordered for her till it was time for supper. After eating, they went to bed.This time, Anderson only kissed her goodnight on the forehead and they slept peacefully. The next day after breakfast, Anderosn took her to visit Sophia and her husband. Indeed, it was just the next street so they walked hand in hand and chatted along the way.It looked like two people in love, making people envious. The security at Sophia and her husband’s house opened the gate as soon as they saw them since they already knew Anderson.Sophia was still sleeping because she hadn’t resumed work yet. They had cut their honeymoon short because of Anderson’s wedding, which made her happy because that w

“What?” Joyce was both excited and surprised. She never thought it would happen so soon. Not after the argument she had with Avery on her wedding day. Avery thought that Joyce didn’t believe her and exclaimed, “I know, I’m insane, but don’t laugh at me,” she said, stomping her slender legs like a teenager throwing tantrums. Joyce was even happier.“Then that is good. You are supposed to love your husband so you shouldn’t feel that way.”“You don’t understand, I made a promise to Trent.”Joyce instantly frowned. So this was all because of Trent. If she had her way she’d slap Trent out of Avery.“Forget Trent Avery, you should be ashamed. What do you think? That marriage is a joke? Snap out of it before it’s too late,” she advised sternly. She didn’t want to associate with an adulterous wife so the earlier she told Avery her stand, the better.“But the plan was to divorce Anderson,” Avery explained. This wasn’t supposed to happen so why did she fall so hard? She ignored the mud until s
