Avery wished to stay at the party as she had something to talk about with Jennifer but Apollo didn't wait for her, so she followed him leaving the thought of talking to Jennifer on another day.The whole way back to the mansion from the party, she didn't utter a single word to him. That was bothering him so much, that he hated it.As she got down the car he quickly held her hand."What were you talking about with him?""Nothing." She answered him calmly.Apollo getting irritated, asked her for the second time. "It can't be nothing, what is it?"This time she halted, she stared at him bitterly. Unlike every time, her eyes looked rather cold and also gloomy. It confused him. Even when they went to the party, she looked all ok, as if the thing from this morning didn't even happen in real."You don't have to know about it." Saying so, she pulled her hand from his grip.As she walked upstairs he followed her. "Avery.""Do not follow me, I have nothing to tell you." She let him know. "Sto

Apollo already made a quick call to her, but she didn't pick it up. "Mr Wyatt, I can't find her whereabouts either. Maybe Miss Knight already went back home." Noah commented, checking his phone again.Apollo stared at his wristwatch, it was already past 10. He wished the night to spend perfectly with his wife, who knew it would be ruined by his mother. He took a deep breath and remaining silent while playing with his phone.'I know her, she wouldn't just miss my call for no reason. Is she ok? Where is she now?'"Let's go back." As he casually stepped in the car, suddenly he cried out, "Avery?" "Miss Knight. Where is she..."Noah saw Apollo cross the road by running and then he saw Avery walking on the opposite side. He finally could take a breath. Since Apollo couldn't find her, Noah had to work on finding her and it got him worried as well.Running to her, Apollo grabbed her hand from behind and called out, "Avery."Avery turned around and saw him. His eyes staring at her worriedly

"Mr Wyatt."Apollo excused himself and finally could have a break. Since he came here, he has been stuck, he couldn't leave at all."What happened?""Miss Knight was here awhile ago. She... She saw you having dinner with..." Noah added, keeping an eye on the Piper family who was talking to Apollo's mother.Apollo's eyes dilated as he asked him, "Why did not you say it earlier?""I wanted to but you seemed busy so..." Upon hearing Noah, Apollo quickly ran to grab his coat. He thought he would tell her about all the things happening later but unexpectedly something kept happening.Seeing him running his mother quickly stopped him.She pulled a pretentious smile, peeking at Elizabeth who was seated not much at a distance from her. Unlike her smile for Elizabeth, her facial expression changed the moment she looked at her own son. "Where are you going?" She asked him in a not-so-pleasant tone."Something urgent came up.""El is sitting there, what else can be so urgent other than her?"A

"Once she knows you have a soft spot for her. She will make you walk at her beck and call." Those words kept beating in his ears. Apollo annoyed, broke the pencil that he had been playing with until now. Putting a file on the table Noah noticed the circumstances, he grabbed the broken pencil and said, "I have got the report just now. Miss Knight was bodily weak, she fainted, she probably didn't take proper rest that's why she fainted. Though the doctor advised her to stay in the hospital so she would get the proper rest she left in a hurry. And..." Noah hesitated."And what?""That day she met Mr Liam and... Mr Roy was the one who took care of her in the hospital. That's all."Apollo looked unaffected, he tightened his fingers into a fist and smirked. "Fainted? Bodily weak? Is this some kind of prank of hers as those gold diggers do?"Noah was utterly shocked, he couldn't believe what he was hearing was the truth. This was the first ever time he heard his boss speak about Avery in s

"Mr Wyatt, everything is ready. The papers had been sent to your mansion." Daniel from the other side of the call reported. As Apollo hung the call, he opened his eyes with a dizzy head. Staring at his surroundings he was taken aback. Everywhere he could look was filled with her clothes and his.Apollo pulled his hair in annoyance and sat on the bed, he still had the effect of the drinks he had last night. "Strange! I have good alcohol tolerance, how the hell did I get so much drunk that I am in this condition?"Then he remembered what he did last night and he saw the spot next to him was empty. Apollo disappointed at his action, slapped himself."Shit! What the hell did I do?"As he covered the bedsheet around his waist and got up from the bed, his eyes caught on the droplets of blood placed on the floor. It mainly led to the door.He saw the knife that also had blood on it. It didn't take him a minute to understand where the blood came from. Last night, he was afraid she would lea
