All Chapters of Another Chance To Live : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

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

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

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,

"Eight hundred thousand dollars!" Smith raged "are you out of your mind Laura?" Laura stood in front of Smith in the huge living room of their mansion. His eyes had flickers of rage in them, his elbows slightly raised and his nose flaring as he stared at Laura. Laura kept fiddling with her fingers. "Anthony almost found out, I had to cover up our tracks" "You didn't think I had the right to know of how you were spending my money?" He seethed. "No honey" Laura defended. "I didn't have the time to discuss it with you""Eight hundred thousand dollars Laura, the money doesn't just fall from the sky" he thundered. "My company could go bankrupt" "I was so close to completing the plan, just imagine, we could recover everything we've lost if our plan works" Laura said. "Laura." Smith called again trying to sound calm. "We can't keep up with it or else we risk loosing everything. We need to take a break" With that, Smith walked away leaving Laura to drown in her thoughts. Maybe if she h

After spending the previous evening with Taylor, Avery felt like some load had been relieved from her chest and she sincerely looked forward to their night of clubbing. She wasn't the party type but maybe she could shake off some tension. And now that Taylor was back, she would definitely be visiting the clubs more often since Taylor was the partying type."Mr Hartford is here to see you and I'm letting him in now" her secretary's voice came through the telecom.Her heart slammed against her chest. Her pulse quickened in response as her mind swirled with questions about why he was there.She sighed as she felt unease clawing at her. The door swung open and her heart lurched to her mouth. She took a deep breath to try and calm the unease.Anthony strolled in and sank into the chair opposite her, sprawling as if he owned the place. There was a flicker of emotion in his eyes and his lips twitched as if he wanted to smiled but it had disappeared so fast that she couldn't make anything of
