"No..."The word inaudible as she whispered it."Nicole wouldn't...-"He can see the news shocked her,she's gone completely white."She wouldn't...she wouldn't do this to me."Yet as she said the words she didn't believe them at all.Her own sister."She lied to the police and said you and Brian planned this whole thing but I didn't believe her.I knew something wasn't right.So I asked for some time alone with her.I confronted her with the facts she admitted it to me alone. Then she threw herself on me saying if I wanted your name to be cleared then I have to make it worth her while."She couldn't hear anymore."Stop!stop it!"She said."I know my sister can be selfish but she would never do this.""Do you even know where she is?"He asked."Has she called you."Silence."The truth is staring you in the face yet you refuse to believe it.Your own sister was ready to sell you out to save her own skin.And still you're in denial about that. She even tried to blackmail me when I didn't fall for her sche

"Why don't you take me home,that way we can finish what we started."Her hand was about to slip into his jacket but Avery caught it and shoved it aside not to gently she pushed her away from Alex and stood between them."I don't appreciate your hands all over my husband.So please if you don't mind we were in the middle of something."Angrily she glared at Alex,how can he just stand here and let this woman grope him like this with so many around."Do you know who I am."She asked Avery."Have you told her about us."She looked at Alex."We were engaged once."Avery's gaze ran back and forth."He's my soul mate.I love this man.Did he tell you he called me to come to Vegas so we can hook up."Avery stared at him in disbelief,surely she was lying.She must be."That's enough Paola!"He ordered."Don't listen to her,she's lying."He told Avery.Is she Avery asked herself or is Alex trying to hide his illicit affair.Gosh she has no idea what to think or who to trust.What if Paolo is telling the truth."M

How can he do this to her,make her body respond the way it does she's still wearing her panty it was damp from her climax.He on the other hand is still fully clothed she can say without a doubt that her body no longer belongs to her but to him.Whatever she is or has it all belonged to him now.No man will ever compare to Alex.Grey eyes stared into brown eyes,Avery reached out to ran her finger along his jaw,he grabbed it between his teeth and nibbled on her finger.She's so scared to lay herself bare in case he might see her true feelings, she's afraid to even show the slightest emotion.Cause she knows Alex will see her truth and once that happens,he'll pull away from her.Any small gesture of affection will definitely send him running off."Let me." She said covering his hands with her own when he wanted to undress himself. Their eyes locked for a second then his hands slip away.One by one she opened the buttons of his shirt,the darkness of his olive skin tone gleamed under the moonlig

"Alex I was only letting you know.We managed perfectly well when you weren't here."He isn't too happy about the idea but he is glad that his mother will be in good hands.He never thought he'd ever say this but he trusts Avery more than he ever trusted any woman before."Fine.I expect you to take it easy and ask Claire for help if you need rest."He reached inside his jacket pocket."Before I forget. This is for you."He slid two credit cards towards her."As my wife you'll get a monthly allowance spend the money on whatever you want."Avery stared dumbfound at the cards,she can't believe it."I don't want your money Alex.I have a job.""Not anymore."He said matter of fact."My wife won't work.It's my responsibility to provide for you and the triplets and our unborn baby too.Your only job is to take care of our kids and yourself.Looking after the family and the household is your responsibility.Leave the rest to me."She appreciated how he said..our baby..and not his.How he referred to them a

"Say it."She urged."That he raped me."Avery doesn't think she can go through with this.What if Alex won't look at her in the same way.She doesn't need nor want his pity it would be terrible."Yes he did.""Was he caught."She took comfort in the hand that was gently caressing her back."No."She smiled sadly."Every time I think about it it makes me so angry.He got to live his life freely and move on as if nothing happened while I..I..."She stopped,even now it's hard to talk about it."If it's difficult to continue then don't.""Most of my life it's only been me and Nicole,she took care of me.When mom died of an overdose Nicole couldn't handle it.She took our mother's death much worse than I did.I was fourteen when she started doing cocaine by then it's been a year since our mother died.My dad was never around but as far as I know he's no longer alive too."She paused for a second."Nicole met a lot of people because of her drug addiction especially men.We were living in a motel when she br
