AVERY WINTERS"I swear, I hate him," Bernard hissed.I chuckled, shaking my head, my hands still wrapped around his neck.We both knew that wasn't true. But in this moment, he would say anything to make himself better. "Come on, Bernard, don't be like this. I'm still here, right?" I said, locking gazes with him. "Besides, we can always continue this in our room." He nodded, a calmness settling over him."Good." I said, pecking him on the lips. "I love you," I added, but as usual, I got no response.He just nodded, kissed me briefly on the lips, and gently set me down.Then, he grasped my wrist, whispering, "let's get back to our room, before someone comes in here and ruins the moment."Well, the moment has already been ruined— I thought, biting back my words.I nodded instead, hiding my disappointment.Maybe, I had laid my expectations too high, which I shouldn't have.•At the dining, I had barely finishing eating when Rose excused herself, calling it a night and heading to our r

AVERY WINTERSButterflies were at work in my stomach, and my toes curled up in excitement. If I was told my relationship with Bernard would progress this far— in such a positive way and get to this stage, I would've denied it. The kiss started slowly, but as the moment passed, he quicken it's pace and I found myself following his rhythm. After a while, we both pulled apart, panting like we just had a marathon race, staring intensely into each other's eyes."I love you, Avery," he said, and a big smile immediately spread across my face.I couldn't believe this is happening— he said it first this time around.Instead of answering, I leaned in and sealed it with a deep kiss. Slowly, as we pulled back, staring into each other's eyes, Bernard leaned in again, brushing his nose against my neck.My heart started racing, feeling my own fast pulse beneath my lips as he kissed the sensitive spot underneath my jaw, right on the gear inked on my neck.His hand sneaked around my waist, and the

AVERY WINTERS"The car is ready," he announced, his voice smooth as usual. Bernard nodded, his expression stoic. "I will be down shortly with Avery. You can go ahead," he ordered, his tone firm.Lucas bowed again and left, and as the door shut, he turned to me with a soft smile spreading across his face. "Are you ready?" He asked, stretching out his hand, his eyes crinkling with warmth. I nodded, and smiled back at him, my heart fluttering, feeling a rush of hope and worry. I slipped my hand into his, and we walked out together, our fingers intertwined. •We're on our way back home, the city's darkness enveloping us, even though I still felt a mix of cozy and safe with my husband by my side.Everyone was lost in their own thoughts as he drive, but I was lost in mine more, continuously replaying the doctor's appointment in my head.The meeting went well, and I was surprised when we arrived at the hospital, turning it was the same one I had been going to for years. Apparently, Dr.

AVERY WINTERS"What do you mean, Nikolai Kuznetsov's men are in town, and even attacked the warehouse?!" I growled, slamming my hand on the desk, my anger boiling over. How could this happen?!How could they have slipped past my men, yet they weren't aware? Despite all the guards I've provided!Fuck!"I was as surprised as you are," Lucas said, his voice low and cautious. "Following your order, we made sure they never set foot in the city again,""I only got the news this morning, I mean..., just now. They also reported that..." He trailed off, clearly choosing his words carefully. "You better talk now before I fucking lose it!" I hissed, my patience worning out. "Over 30 of our men were killed this morning."My vision instantly blurred with rage. "What?!!" I leaped up from my seat, my eyes widening in anger.No, I can't fucking sit by and watch let this slide. "First, increase the security of this house, and call for a meeting, right this minute!" I ordered.He nodded hastily, bo

AVERY WINTERSIt's been two months already. Two months of torture of Harper staying with us. I'm still in the dark about whether Bernard had resolved the issue with the Nikolai psychopath or not.Maybe, he has, considering that he's been assuring me everything was now fine. His men had also stopped following me around, so perhaps it's all settled. I've been able to gather a bit information— my husband's dad and Nikolai's dad were brothers, until Nikolai's dad went on mad and things fell apart. Bernard still hasn't told me the full story yet, but I got to know that his dad's death was linked to this fued.I can't help but worry, I don't want to lose Bernard the same way he lost his dad. I wish he would just give the Nikolai guy whatever he wants so we can live happily without this constant worry. But my husband is too stubborn.I'm just glad everything seem to be back to normal now.And my condition, I've been noticing changes in myself lately. I've lost weight— not enough to make m
