Chapter 21

"I'm her sister-in-law, I have every right to enter." Lana seethed as the guards blocked her from entering. "Sorry but orders are orders and if you try to cause any trouble, we might have to call the security on you." "Ahh!" Lana growled stumping her feets on the ground, she folded her hands glaring at the guards. What the hell was all this? Avery had been there for almost two weeks and they didn't put gaurds, so why now? There could only be one reason! Her arms slowly unwrapped from her chest and fell to her side, her eyes dilated. The news about Avery's death would be out by now. The azetoxin only took about twelve to twenty four hours to damage a person's respiratory system causing respiratory failure. It had been three days already and now Anthony had guards stationed outside her door. It could only mean one thing. He must have found out. She scurried out of the hospital and into her car. "Drive to Elmore's street now!" She yelled at the driver. She tapped her fingers imp

Chapter 22

Avery got down from the car, Anthony couldn't even come to the hospital to pick her by himself, he had to send someone even after what he had caused her. The huge mansion towered over her like a threat, a place that should have been home. She sighed deeply before taking slow strides to the grand doors. She was not going to take it any more, she was just coming to pack her things and leave. Her father's company was now doing well, thanks to Anthony's secret investments and she could afford a house of her own, she could afford a nice meal as well. "Mrs Avery you're back!" Mrs Meyer chirped with a radiant smile as Avery walked in. Avery smiled instantly feeling the warmth grow in her chest. Someone actually missed her and wanted her back. "I'm back Mrs Meyer" Avery smiled."It's nice to have you back." " Thank you Mrs Meyer."Avery couldn't shake off the feeling of being watched, and indeed when she looked up the stairs, Anthony stood there watching her. His gaze was not the same c

"Fish" Anthony said into his phone. "I need to know about Avery's whereabouts." "I knew you'd want to know" Fish responded. "She checked in at one of your hotels." Somehow, Anthony felt his heart flutter knowing that Avery was still within reach. "Make sure she's okay. But why isn't she getting a house, does she plan to live there?" Anthony wondered. "I have no idea boss." Fish replied sincerely. "Fish." Anthony called softly. "Do you think she'll ever love me again?" Anthony was lost, he didn't know what to do. Maybe if he talked to Fish, it might be of help. He had known Fish almost all his life and knew he was trustworthy, so definitely he could talk to him about anything. "I can't say for sure. But maybe if you show her just how much you love her, she might come back." Anthony sighed at Fish's response then he hung up.Maybe Avery was better off without him. She deserved to be happy and he was not making her happy. She deserved someone that would hold her hands, look into

Chapter 24

Anthony peered at Avery through his car window. He was heading back from work when Fish told him that she had just returned from her father's funeral. His grip tightened on the steering wheel, his jaw clenched as he watched Collins hug Avery. They slowly broke from the hug, Collins had his hands on Avery's shoulder as he stared at her face while they spoke then he slowly led Avery inside the hotel. Anthony's mind raced as he saw them walk in, why the hell was he touching his wife and why did he go in there with her? These questions spun in Anthony's head. He brought out his phone and called fish. "I need you to call the CEO of C enterprise and offer them a ten million dollars contract" Anthony spoke staring intently at the grand doors of the hotel, his eyes hadn't left it a single bit since Avery and Collins had entered. He just kept staring at it like he wanted to see through the building.He had no idea what they had entered there to do but whatever it was, he wasn't going to gi

Chapter 25

Avery caught Chelsea's hand mid air before it could hit her. "You can show the pictures to Anthony for all I care" Avery said sharp and firm. She flung Chelsea's hand away causing her to stagger backwards. The room was left stunned as Avery walked away. She knew Chelsea was trying to get on her nerves but she wasn't going to give her that satisfaction. She hated Anthony and she could only care less about what he would feel when he sees the picture but she just didn't want him to think lowly of her. It was barely even two weeks since she left him and seeing that picture, he would think she was with someone else and that wasn't a good image. She sighed deeply as she pressed the elevator button to the fifth floor. She leaned on the wall as her mind drifted. If she continued to stay here, her company might even go bankrupt, she had to get an apartment, the hotel was too expensive. She only stayed there because it was closer to her company. Anthony sat behind his desk scribbling some

Chapter 26

Avery had contacted an agent to help her find the perfect apartment, something that wasn't too expensive and would also be comfortable for her. She sat in her office doing some paperwork when a call came in her phone. It was the agent and he told her he had found a perfect house. Avery got in her brand new BMW 2 series and drove off. Her new investor had invested large enough in her company that she was able to afford a car. Unseen m, Fish followed at a distance in a black car just like his boss had ordered him. Avery got to the location of the apartment and met her agent. "This property costs just a hundred thousand dollars" the agent from homes and properties told her, after she had looked around the building. "Hundred thousand!!" Avery's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the young man. But just then a call came in his phone. He excused himself and walked out to take the call. Avery looked around the building, it was a flat with two bedrooms, a parlour, the kitchen,
