AVERY WINTERSI looked away, clearing my throat. "I didn't come here to exchange pleasantries talks with you, Caden, let's get straight to the point," I said, raising a brow. "Where's the food you badly wanted to eat with me? Remember, that was part of the reason why I'm here," I asked, my tone firm and serious.I had expected him to do the needful, instead, he leaned forward, meeting ny gaze. "Avery, mom missed you a lot," he said.At the mention of his mom, I instantly felt a pang on my chest. However, I didn't let his manipulation get to me. "Stop trying to use mom to lure me, it's never going to work, Caden," I spat, glaring at him. "The old Avery you knew, was long gone. Let's focus on why we're here, and if you feel you're not ready for that, I can as well just leave," I said, firmly, attempting to get up and leave, but he quickly grasped my hand, stopping me."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you," he apologized, lovking gazes with me.I took my seat back, and he signaled t

AVERY WINTERSAs we waited outside the patient's room, at the hospital, pacing back and forth, waiting for the doctor, Bernard suddenly appeared."Bernard, you-" I began.But he brushed passed me, walking up to his mom. "What happened? Why did she fainted?" he asked, his gaze fixed intently on Rose. She had called him earlier over the phone, informing him about Harper's condition."I don't know about the whole situation yet, but I think she'd a misunderstanding with Avery, and she fainted afterward," she explained. "We're still waiting for the doctor to come out and tell us what's happening."Bernard turned to me, his eyes darkening. "What did you do to her?" he asked coldly.Before I could respond, Rose beat me to it. "Bernard, what do you think you're doing? I'm sure it's not Avery's fault," she intervened, defending me. "We'd no idea of what happened. Let's nit jump into conclusion, and wait for the doctor's result instead."He didn't say anything, he just turned his back at me, a

BERNARD REEDI slammed my fist on the desk, glaring at her. "I need a fucking answer, Harper!" I hissed. Her eyes widened as she jolted in fear. "Did I, or did I not tell you not to cause a scene as you stay here?" I asked again.She'd been discharged, and immediately she returned back, I invited her into my study. I just couldn't wait to scold her. I've been tolerating her excessiveness because she's my sister, and I love her so much, but she needs to respect my wife too. I won't let her treat Avery with disrespect.I couldn't believe I almost blamed Avery, for my sister's irrational act. I kept wondering— how could she stoop low to bring herself to act this way? Just because she wanted me to hate Avery or what?I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. I need to know what warrant her to constantly want to frustrate Avery this much? To the point of lying against her. But, no matter what it is, I need to put a stop to it. If this continues this way, I would be forced to choose

AVERY WINTERS"I still can't believe that guy has finally decided to let you be, and walked out of your life completely!" Ivy exclaimed, her voice laced with excitement as she clasped her hands together.She was right. I still find it hard to believe— Caden and I finally had finally called it a quit. I mean, it was already a quit until he decided to show up again, and began claiming me as his woman again like a mad man, constantly causing issues between Bernard and I. However, I was glad it's a real quit this time around, and I couldn't help but feel like Bernard had something to do with this. I knew he wouldn't let Caden be until he do something to make him regrwt ever showing up before me. I had decided not to hide anything from him again, so later, when I get back home, I would tell him about it, and ask him question too. I really hope he would tell me the truth though.I rolled my eyes, and turned to her, meeting her gaze. "Can we not talk about him anymore? He's all in the pa

AVERY WINTERS"Well, I would advise you should be careful around her. I haven't seen her yet, and I dont know what she looks like, but she's trouble itself. You shouldn't have issues with Bernard because of her," Scarlet advised. I nodded, forgetting that they couldn't see me. "You're right," I said, agreeing with her."Girl, you finally decided to say exactly what was going through my mind," Ivy said. "It's best you just avoid her for now."After that, we talked about other things, before Scarlet excused herself, as she had something to do. A moment later, Ivy ended the call too. She has a meeting with a top model, and this was going to be her biggest project. "I have to go now, Avery. If this turn out well for me, I would start working with the top model for my new fashion show," she said. "Wish me luck.""I wish you good luck, girl. Make sure to let me know how it goes," I said. "Sure, bye."She blew me a kiss, and then hung up the call. As soon as I dropped the phone, I heard
