"It's not a good manner to avoid your relatives, you know." Kaden Lincoln, the man who dared to stop the car pronounced. He stood with his head high in front of Apollo.Apollo paused on his way, his hands in his pocket and he had his calm demeanour. Kaden, happy to succeed in stopping him on his way smirked and then walked forward, passing him. He stood before him, and raised his hand towards Apollo, "Today is my big day, wouldn't you like to give me your blessings? Cousin."Kaden Lincoln, namely the second in line to take the lead of the Lincoln family business once had good relationship with Apollo until some years later, things took a turn and since then, Apollo as if was his rival in every single thing. Apollo sent daggers through his eyes, instead of shaking his hand with him he just walked away. 'Avoid' was the one word he wanted to use now. "I am going to get married the day after tomorrow. You probably heard it."Apollo heard him with no intention of doing such. The news o

"Granny, please wait."Jessy let her assistant leave first as Kaden called out for her. The press conference was done, but there were still people around to greet their new CEO so Apollo was busy with all the greetings."Ohh, Kaden dear. What's wrong?""I know you wouldn't make a decision without consideration. But I can't understand why did you give the position to Apollo and not me. Ain't I reliable and capable enough in your eyes?" Kaden looked at Jessy with gloomy eyes. As if a little kid to an adult while asking for his favourite toy that was given to someone else.Jessy knew he would ask her this. She was a businesswoman, after all, being able to read one's eyes was one of the reasons she always could handle any situation without worry. "Are you questioning my choice now? Kid." Jessy sounded deadpan. Kaden for one minute forgot who he was talking to. Though Jessy loved him she hated it when someone questioned her decision.Upon understanding what he just did, Kaden made a puppy

It was past 9 pm, and Avery was helping Jessy in the kitchen. Since she invited Kaden and her fiancee over, Jessy wanted to make some cookies for them and Avery insisted to help her."All done, thank you so much, dear. Without your help, I wouldn't be able to do it alone this soon." Jessy hugged her and smiled at her. "It was fun. I also loved making the cookies with you. Granny." After so long, Avery felt like she had a family. She always missed her grandmother after she died, and staying with Wendy and Liam didn't make it any good but worse for her. They didn't care how she felt.Jessy was starting to like her more now. Since Apollo's mother was quite allergic to cooking, Jessy had no companion. If she wanted to cook, she was all alone but now, she had found Avery."It's already time. They should be here soon. Dear, can you please go and ask Apollo to come down?"Avery smiled then with a little nod she walked upstairs. To her, though she was here for a short time this house didn't

"Who is the chef tonight? The dishes are so delicious. Was it you? Granny." Kaden asked, having one more spoonful of food. His fiancee was sitting next to her, while Apollo and Avery were on their opposite.The dining table felt somewhat more like a battlefield, coldness encompassing everywhere.Jessy answered him with a smile, "It's your sister-in-law. She made the dinner tonight."Kaden had a smirk on his face as he stared at Avery. Since he came here, he had been keeping his eyes on her."Seems like sister-in-law is a great cook. Cousin is so lucky to have her."Avery smiled and continued eating. Her mind was here then it was not, waiting for the time to pass fast.'I was worried for nothing, he probably doesn't remember me. It's been quite long since he saw me in the Lincoln Re...'But suddenly her thoughts got interrupted and she almost choked on her food."It might be that sister-in-law has been a cook for a long time. I feel I have eaten the dishes she made before."Avery grab

The road was crowded, sitting next to Apollo she kept looking at her hand bracelet. Jessy gifted it to her when she was leaving.They both said goodbye to Jessy and were now going to where she was supposed to. Though she didn't know where Apollo was taking her to.For some time she was happy to be away from this city as it would only remind her of Liam and those painful memories but now, she was back here again.As the car stopped, finally she looked up. She stared at the surroundings and then at Apollo, waiting for him to tell her where they were but he remained silent.A man in his early 60's opened the car door for her, she stepped out. In front of her, she could see the high-end building, it was not some mansion like the Lincoln Residence or Lindwens House but it looked rather expensive than those two.There were mini gardens designed beautifully on both sides of the road to the entry, the exterior design from the outside looked somewhat boring in her eyes yet it was giving out a

The Next Day'I don't know when I am going there, I'm super excited but I'm also nervous at the same time...' Ring!Avery was interrupted in her thoughts as her phone started ringing. Not taking a look at the number, she uttered, "Hello?""Mrs Wyatt, it's me, Noah. The driver will be picking you up in ten minutes, please be ready." Noah asserted so from the other side of the call."Ahh, ok."It was last night when she was told that from today, she would be working in the company as the chef.Avery was so enthusiastic, she always heard Wyatt corporation was the biggest company in the country. She wanted to work there but due to not meeting their education requirements she never got a chance.Soon the driver picked her up. Avery wore an oversized blue t-shirt tucked with her black jeans, she put on her army boots and left her hair loose at her backIt was the first time she would be working in such a big company, she didn't have any idea what to wear so she put on what she found to be

Running to the office, she knocked at the door. An abrupt surge of intense fear took place in her heart as she waited for the door to be opened."Apo... Mr Wyatt? Mr Wyatt? Please open the door!" Avery hit on the door. Noah waiting behind her was panicked as well, he sounded worried as he said, "We had a meeting after lunch so I came to tell him about it. But he didn't open the door. I kept knocking and... And he didn't open the door. I am so tensed..."'Apollo. What happened to him?'"Mr Wyatt, please open the door!"They both glared at each other as for the second time, no response came inside the office. "Go and call the..."Suddenly the door shot open, and a strong arm grabbed her wrist and pulled her inside within a minute. Noah, dumbfounded stared at the door with open mouth as the door was shut off on his face, he was left alone outside wondering what was going on. "Boss..."Inside the room, Avery found herself standing against the wall and Apollo standing before her, so clo

1 amThe time was passing quite quickly, the clock making a ticking sound once in a while. Apollo stretched out his arms and turned the lid of the laptop down.'There's no water in the room. I have to go to the kitchen.' Suddenly he stopped on his track as his eyes got a glimpse of the figure that was lying on the sofa in a weird position. There was no one around, he glared at the wall clock and then back at the figure.'Who's it?' Apollo nonchalantly walked to the sofa just to be surprised. He let out an annoying sigh and then rubbed his forehead. 'What sleeping posture is this?'Avery had her legs flying on the top of the sofa when her head was resting against the pillow on the table. Some sorts of papers with pens and some materials were messily on the table and the floor."Get up!" He uttered.Avery deep in sleep answered him with no words but silence. He bobbed his head in annoyance and moved all the materials to one side of the table. How much he hated messy people and here, h

The glass elevator was going down, and all the lights on the floors one by one turned off. As Apollo walked out of the elevator the lights on the floor turned on."It's 7:25 pm."Taking a gaze at his wristwatch he walked in the direction that lead to the office kitchen.The lights were constantly going on and off. Avery looked around, checking for the first-aid kit. 'I don't know why the lights are going on and off...' Though she washed her finger that got a cut a while ago, it was still bleeding and hurting.Upon seeing the first-aid kit, she stood high on her toes to get it. Crack!Suddenly everywhere darkness took place as the lights were gone. Avery could barely see things around."Shit! Why the lights went off at this time?" Putting the first-aid kit down, she started wandering around for the candle. Since she was new here, she didn't know exactly where things were kept.Avery wanted to try a new dish, she was cutting the vegetables that's when she cut her finger. Since she wa

"Mr Wyatt, we have found out the will of Miss Knight's grandmother. But there's some problem. We know where is it kept but it's hard to get it."A voice from the other side of the call reported so. Apollo walking downstairs, let out, "Find it first. None should get their hands on it before us.""Yes, sir."It was past midnight. Apollo used to work in a different timezone in foreign so he was used to that timing.Letting out a sigh of relief Apollo kneaded the middle of his forehead. He walked towards the settee to take a seat but the moment he reached the settee he was taken back.He gaped at Avery with pure annoyance in his eyes.'She is doing it again.'Avery made dinner, and they had it peacefully so he thought he would let her go one time but her repeated behaviour was irritating him now.Just like the other night, things were scattered here and there. The difference tonight was... There was a packet of snacks on the table too. 'She is not going to change, I need to make it clear
