"Nothing," George answered as he consciously got to his feet, walking toward his grandson by the door."I thought you said you wouldn't be coming over for dinner tonight," the old man smiled at Evan, who had his gaze locked on Avery the entire time.Avery began to hiccup and used her hand to cover her mouth, feeling embarrassed by her repeated hiccuping. George snapped his fingers and immediately ordered one of his men to bring her a glass of water."Can I speak to you for a minute?" Evan said to Avery. He led the way, and she quietly trailed behind him. "What are you doing here, and what did you tell him?" Evan asked as they stood on the balcony.Avery hesitated and remained silent, earning herself a deadly glare from Evan. "I didn't come here willingly. Your grandfather sent his men to abduct me at school, and he already knows there's something between us," she said, crossing her arms over her chest.Evan scoffed loudly. "Was something between us?" he corrected before walking off, l

Ivan met up with Tara at the agreed location, which was a luxurious suite. She knocked on the door after looking left and right, making sure no one was watching her.“Welcome,” Ivan said dramatically, with his hands spread wide open and his legs lazily crossed over each other as Tara surveyed the room, taking off her sunglasses.Tara looked over at Ivan. “Tell me quickly, is Evan truly getting married?” she asked, the look of anxiety unmasked on her face.“Come on, Tara! Would I get you all the way over here just to play a prank on you?” Ivan couldn’t help but let out a scoff.Tara opened her purse and pulled out a huge stack of cash, slamming it on the coffee table in front of Ivan, who had a huge smirk on his face.“This is the money you demanded from me. You can count it to confirm if you want.”“I trust you, Tara. You’re like family to me. We have known each other for so long,” Ivan said as his gaze relaxed on the money.Tara pressed her lips together until they turned pale. “Don’

Avery met Evan a few blocks from their school building, at the exact spot she'd specified. She looked left and right cautiously before getting into the car, a strange feeling settling over her.He noticed her struggling with the seatbelt. “Let me do it,” he said softly, his hands grazing hers gently. A jolt of electricity shot through Avery.“How was school?” Evan asked, his gaze fixed on the road. Avery stole a quick glance at him but was caught when Evan suddenly turned his head in her direction.Avery froze for a few seconds, his question taking her aback. “It was fine,” she said, managing to find her voice.Evan hummed softly, and the rest of the drive passed in silence. She watched as the car turned into an estate, and she couldn’t help but look at Evan, confused. He wasn’t taking her home as expected; instead, he was taking her to his grandfather's, which didn’t sit well with Avery.“My grandfather invited us over for lunch,” Evan said as the car finally came to a halt outside t

Avery walked onto the school premises and felt a chill run down her spine as she stepped into the hallway. Flashbacks from the previous day kept playing in her mind like a broken record.She tightened her grip around her backpack straps, waiting to be judged by the other students. To her surprise, no one was staring or pointing fingers at her; instead, they were all minding their business.As Avery made her way to her classroom, the room fell silent. She quietly took her seat, and before she could even settle down, the principal called for her.She couldn’t help but wonder if he had found out about her scandal as well. Avery knocked on the door before entering, her heart still racing with thoughts. “Ms. Daniels, please have a seat,” Principal Martin said with a smile.“I’ll get straight to the point. I heard about the recent incidents in your class and how you were bullied by Jenny and her friends. I want to assure you that you have nothing to worry about anymore, as the school author

Evan was just about to leave for work when he opened the door to find long arms wrapped around his neck. He was stunned for a moment, unable to react. Once he regained his senses, he pushed Venessa away from his body.“Venessa! What are you doing here?” Evan exclaimed, looking as if he had seen a ghost.Venessa pouted her lips like a little kid who had been wronged. “Bro, are you not happy to see me?” She said, placing her hands on her waist.“Why didn’t you inform me you were coming?” Evan’s eyes travelled to the suitcase beside Venessa’s leg.“Since when do I need permission before visiting my cousin?” Venessa replied, a silly smile spreading across her face. She then inched closer to Evan, her lips brushing against his ear. “I was so eager to see my sister-in-law and my unborn niece,” she whispered.Just then, they both heard footsteps from behind, prompting Venessa and Evan to turn around in unison. They found Avery all ready for school.As Avery stood beside Evan, confused about
