All Chapters of Ex-husband Regrets: I married a Billionaire Single-Dad: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

AVERYIT HAS BEEN two days since Clarance abducted Iris, and things were starting to die down. Adriano informed the police that it was just a misunderstanding, and he did not press charges. Iris seemed to be doing better, too. The event did not affect her as much as we thought it would. She was already a happy and secure child, so she easily bounced back.As I sat in my office, lazing about, I gazed the the ring on my finger. It sparkled and reflected light in different angles. There was no doubt that it was very expensive. It would be pure gold and diamonds, I was sure. I held my hand up to take a clearer look at it."Avery Quinn Mancini," I muttered. It doesn't sound that bad. It definitely had a good ring to it. I chuckled and ransacked my bag to bring out my notepad, but then I saw a small black card. I took it out and saw the name Jean Carter written in stylish cursive letters. I frowned and then remembered the man who had approached me a few weeks ago, begging me to attend to hi

ADRIANO ADRIANO SLOWED TO stop in front of the grand villa and got out.Word must have reached the house that he had arrived because men were waiting for him at the gate. They gestured for him to step aside from the vehicle, which he did without argument, then they proceeded to frisk and check if he carried any weapons.When they were certain that he was not with any weapons, they allowed him to walk in."We thought you would not come," a tattooed man said in a small voice as they headed for the front door."I almost didn't," Adriano replied truthfully. "But I knew that your father would probably come to have my head, Fabio."Fabio laughed heartily. "No, he won't. Father likes you. I think he is more fond of you, than even of me, his own son."Adriano rolled his eyes. During his younger years, he had spent a lot of time on these grounds. His father had sent him to work for the Salvatore family as collateral while he tried to pay up his debt.The house had been repainted and refurbish

ADRIANO"I NEVER EXPECTED you to get married," Adriano said as they walked out the dining hall and made their way to the back of the mansion. "Much less you have a family of your own, and a daughter."Fabio chuckled. "I never expected it too, but well, it happened."Adriank snorted. He understood that very well. "And why didn't you marry from a much closer family?" He asked, turning to look at Fabio. "You could have married into the Valerion family, just as your father had planned for me.""Well, to be fair, the girl has changed from being ugly," Fabio replied. "I think she went to do some sort of surgery. She has changed. She looks exactly like your type now."Adriano scoffed and muttered under his breath. "I doubt."It was clear that the girl that Salvatore had wanted him to marry was no different from Clarance, and Laura. All snobby, pretty-face with a banging body, but mean and evil hearted. "I doubt she is my type.""Oh really?" Fabio raised an eyebrow. "What is your doctor fian

AVERY“YOU CAN WAIT out here, Mr. Jean,“ I said, gesturing to my waiting room. He looked troubled, his eyes went to his son, and then back to me. There was a look that i could not decipher in his eyes as he gave me a curt nod.“This should not be long,“ i said. “Come with me, Kevin” I guided the young child into my office.As soon as we were alone, i sat down on the couch and gestured to him to sit down beside me. He sat without saying a word. His eyes were dull and his skin was pale as he looked around the room, but he did not meet my eye.What could really be wrong with this child? I asked myself again.Over the past few years that i had resumed by career, i had come across a lot of things.“My name is Avery,“ I said in a gentle voice. “Your father said your name is Kelvin. Is that correct?“He looked at me blandly and nodded slowly.“Is there anything you want to tell me?“ I asked him. I was trying to see if there was any underlying trauma that might be affecting him.He shook his

AVERYMY BLOOD FROZE. I dropped my fork and stared at Nana. Her face was serious as she nodded."I thought that was all a rumour," I whispered. "That he is affiliated with the mafia.""Almost all rumour has a bit of truth in it," she replied. "It is not my story to tell, and I know he has left that life behind since he left Italy.""So why did he go back now?" I asked, speaking more to myself than to Nana, but she answered anyway."The Mafia has a way of drawing one back into their fold," she said.If Adriano were really a mafia member, they would not have let him go free all these years. My appetite was suddenly gone, so I pushed my plate aside."I am sure he will tell you everything when he comes back," Nana tried to ease my mind, but it was not working.Did I just get engaged to a mafia? I wondered. Does that make me a mafia too?"You must not trouble yourself over it," Nana said. She poured some orange juice into an iced cup and pushed it to me. "Thank you, Nana," I replied, stan
