AVERYI MET THE woman in the patio. Up close, she was stunning. Her bright red hair and faint freckles that spun over her face gave her a very delicate beauty. Her hazel eyes crinkled in a smile as soon as she saw me, "Hello," she said, and I immediately noted the accent in her speech. "I am Mika.""You are Adriano's sister in law," I said as she gave me a brief hug and kissed my cheek."And you are his fiancée, the doctor," she said. Her voice had a tinge of admiration."Oh, I am not really a doctor," I said with a small smile. "I don't work in a hospital, I am a therapist.""That's even better," she smiled. She had perfect teeth too. Did this woman have any imperfections? I wondered. "And you must be his daughter," she bent to Iris's eye level. "What is your name?" She asked."Iris,""Iris," Mika repeated. "The name of a beautiful flower. That is such a beautiful name for a beautiful little girl like you."Iris smiled."Do you want to meet your cousin?" Mira smiled. Iris nodded and

AVERYAFTER SALVATORE LED Iris away, Adriano slowly resumed eating."How did you two meet?" Mika asked. She looked at the ring on my finger and added, "You are engaged, yes?"I nodded."So how did you meet?" She asked."I was Iris's therapist," I decided to answer this time. I could see the shock in their faces as that was not the answer that they had expected to receive."Her therapist?" Fabio managed to ask and I nodded."What happened to her?" Mika asked, but the question was not directed to me. She was looking at Adriano."A child should not have to deal with any type of trauma," Fabio said in a low voice and Mika nodded enthusiastically."I have cases of children with trauma," I said. "It is quite a common ordeal."Fabio sighed. "I guess now I understand your hesitation about leaving her with father." He said. "Some of the things my father did were enough to send us to a shrink's office," Fabio said.Adriano snorted."But we did not, and we turned out fine, didn't we?" Fabio aske

Laura had always believed there were limits to humiliation but she was wrong. Ever since Avery had left the house with Beatrice, Laura had been angry and in a bad mood. And to worsen the matter, Dante did not seem to care for her too.The more she thought about it, the more it made her head pound. She closed her eyes and released a shrill scream that echoed in the bathroom. “Miss Vale! Are you alright? Should I call someone?” one of the house maids knocked on the door. Laura sat up sharply, ignoring the throbbing at the back of her head. “No, no, don’t. Just get me my phone.” Her voice cracked. She reached for it with shaking hands.Avery was going to get the ideal and perfect life. The life that Laura has always dreamt off. And to make everything worse, Avery had stolen from her too.Her maid.Beatrice had been Laura’s for almost two years, until Avery had apparently “rescued” her after seeing the girl crying in the kitchen, because of just a little slap that Laura had given her.

"THE FUCKING BITCH!" Laura snarled, but this time, she was not talking about Avery. She was referring to Clarance, her friend. Who had been ready to deny her at the store as soon as the police came.Laura rubbed her arms as a cold breeze blew past her and she felt chilly. She knew that by now, the video of her would have circulated all over the internet. A video of her, being arrested by the police for stealing. She blinked quickly to prevent tears from rolling down her cheek, it would smear up her makeup and mess her face.And Clarance, she sniffled. Clarance had just gotten into Martin's car and driven away, leaving her to walk or find her way home.She dialed Dante's number again, but it went straight to voicemail. What was going on? She wondered. Why was Dante not picking up her calls? And the bigger question is, why did their premium unlimited card get declined at the store?She stood by the road side, waiting if she would see someone that would offer to give her a ride, and sure

"YOU WERE ARRESTED?" Barbara whispered fiercely to Laura after Dante walked out of the office. Laura, feeling ashamed and embarrassed, looked away.Barbara looked at the video again. "And you were being recorded, too. Look at how you were manhandled by the police. Do you know that you might have jeopardized your career?"Laura scoffed. Monica's words were still hurting her. "I don't have a career. I am a failed model, that is what the internet says about me."Barbara sighed, not knowing how to console Laura, because Laura was right. She had been an "upcoming" model for the past 3 years. "You said Dante is going broke?" Barbara suddenly remembered. "What? How?"Laura shrugged. "I tried to pay with his card, and it got declined," she explained. "That is why the police came and had to take me to the police station."Barbara rubbed her forehead as a bead of sweat popped out. All her plans were falling apart at once. She had sabotaged Avery's marriage with Dante because Dante was very ric
