Avery couldn’t accept the sudden changes in him. “Why are you being nice and sweet all of a sudden?” Anderson inched closer and she could feel his breath on her face. “Because you are my wife. Only my wife deserves my sweetness.” At twenty four, Anderson Crown was the acting CEO of his father’s trillion dollar multinational company. He was hot and a die for yet, he was so cold. When it was time for him to assume the position of CEO wholly, he wouldn’t accept it without Avery Smith by his side as a wife. Therefore, an arranged marriage was the best option, but why? Avery Smith was the shy intern in the accounts department. When she reluctantly succumbed to her parents' demand to marry Anderson to save their business, she grew hatred towards him because her heart was already taken. She vowed to her boyfriend that she would frustrate Anderson’s life to make him divorce her but was surprised when she realized after the marriage, that Anderson wasn’t who she thought he was. So what happens when she begins to fall head over heels in love with Anderson, and her ex boyfriend appears to claim her as promised? Will she keep to her vow or will she stay true to what her heart feels? This book is a read alone, though a sequel to *The CEO silenced me with a kiss*
View MoreYvonne was not surprised that Anderson came to question her after watching live, what happened with the media. She was also jealous of Avery that indeed, she was innocent but more envious of the fact that Anderson took so much time to study his wife so well. Anderson was happy and Trent was content. She was the only loser because she was not at peace with everything. “I swear, I know nothing about it.” “Why should I believe you?” Anderson asked her. Yvonne was disheartened. It’s true. Anderson had changed so much. There was no resemblance between him to the man who doted on her before. All she had were memories she had to let go of. “Is it not enough that I lost everything? Maybe I am not Avery’s only enemy.” Since she said she did not do it and Anderson did not have immediate proof, there was no way to force it out of her. He said to her, “If I find out that you are involved, I will find you wherever you are and make you pay.” Only
“I’m listening.” Anderson said to the guy who had a determined look. It was not possible that he would use what Anderson saw. If that happened, then Anderson would be worried. “The face here is Mrs. Crown’s face during this business dinner.” The guy swiped and showed everyone listening to one of Avery’s pictures online, as he continued to explain, “the picture went viral because it was a big event and Mrs. Crown looks very beautiful in it. There were videos of this event and if you look at it, Mrs. Crown had the same hairstyle and makeup in this video, which was made just a week ago.” Anderson’s attention had not even reached that level after he saw what he deemed his point. Indeed, those rollers curls Avery wore that day and the makeup matched the woman in the video but someone else would argue that that was the day she got intimate with the man in the video. This information might not fly with the media though it was true but something else caught And
Earlier, Avery was afraid. She thought that Anderson would be upset with her, for which reason she did not dare to use a pet name. Perhaps he had not seen the video. “I’m sorry but…” her voice was thin so Anderson cut her off. She sounded depressed and his heart ached. “Don’t worry. I know that you are not the woman in the video.” Avery's mouth opened and for a while, she doubted if he was serious. “How can you be sure? What if I was drunk?” Even she could not believe that it was not her. She has been sitting in her chair, trying to recall how and when it happened. Was she drugged? Where? At school, she was mostly with Joyce. In the office, she’d be with Anderson so how did it happen? She never got the understanding and clarity except for tears. “Do you know the man in the video?” Anderson asked her, trying to prove a point. He knew her strengths and her weaknesses. If it was Trent in the video when he saw it the first time, he would have assumed that i
“Don’t defend blindly son, the woman in the video is your wife,” Andrew said after watching the video for the umpteenth time. Anderson was getting upset but could not blame his dad. Even he had believed it at first, except that he detected something. Something he did not expect anyone else to notice. He just could not explain it to his father because It was intimate. “No. That is not Avery,” he said firmly. When he saw the video and almost believed it was Avery, he already believed that she must have been drugged or something but still could not put a finger on the possibility. They have always been together, always in touch, and always communicating with each other’s movements. Also, Avery never showed any signs to show that she was cheating on him. “Ander, I understand that you are not in your right mind right now because it got into you but the video is trending fast,” Andrew said again from the end of the line. Anderson was disturbed. Someone was out to destr
Two months later Yvonne did not quit. She continued to work at Crown Investors. The only pain she felt in her work was reporting to Avery once a week and the fact that she also only saw Anderson once a week at the cafeteria but after Avery’s warning, she never approached him again. Everything went well as there was no misunderstanding. It was time once again for Yvonne’s weekly meeting with Avery. As always, when there was a good job done, Avery would compliment and if a bad one, reprimand. She was fair and firm. Anderson had stopped helping her because she was capable. Yvonne walked in with her hardcopy report, after sending a soft copy to Avery’s email. This time around, she could not hold back when Avery made some suggestions on how the employees under Yvonne should be structured. Avery was not satisfied with Yvonne using her subordinates as an excuse to submit unfinished reports, thereby deciding to address it. “I’m sorry Yvonne, this is the third time you are doing this. If I
Yvonne had seen and heard it herself. Vida told her about how Anderson loved Avery and Avery had even told her that she was the reason why Anderson agreed to meet with her. Thinking through it, Avery was the one controlling Anderson. It did not seem that Anderson had gotten over Yvonne. It was just because of Avery. For some reason, he seemed afraid of offending her. “I already met Avery. She is just a small girl. Anderson is still in love with me. It’s just because he doesn’t want to offend Avery. If I had spoken to him alone, he would have realized it,” Yvonne said in mock satisfaction. Trent smiled but it did not reach his eyes. He said to her, “Let me tell you a story.” Yvonne shook her head with disapproval. It was already enough that she was able to see Trent and the fact that he was not after her life anymore. He also apologized and wanted to marry her but she did not want that. As such, she did not want to waste any more time with him since he was not ready to help her with
The ice emitted from Anderson made Yvonne’s waiting heart freeze. “Ander please…”“It’s Mr. Crown for you and what makes you think that I will help you to get revenge against Trent? From all the stupidity you spat out right now, he never forced you to date him so if you fell for his lies, then that is your problem” he cut her off and said in the same icy tone. He was not going to be nice to a desperate ex. Crazy things happened to his friends in college because of exes coming back so if Yvonne did not know, Anderson had already drawn the lines for her.“Please Ander, you are my only hope,” she pleaded. After all that Anderson heard, he could tell that even if Trent had not snatched Bernice from him, another man would have still done it. The two of them were never meant to be. He could not even be upset with Trent because he felt grateful to him.“I have nothing against Trent because he gave me the happiness I didn’t deserve by taking you away from me. I found someone who makes me happy
“Ander, I need your help.”Yvonne did not know where to start. With Anderson upset with her, she could not say directly that she wanted him back, putting it that way. Anderson had set a timer feeling upset by this arrangement Avery made. He just wanted to go back to the office, finish working on those documents on his desk and go home to make sweet love to his beautiful wife. The more time he spent here, the longer his stay would have to be in the office. He spat sarcastically,“That is the most interesting thing I heard today. With what? And how?”“For what Trent did to me. I need your help to expose him?” Yvonne explained, refusing to see the sarcasm and taking everything literally.“And why will I help you? Weren’t the two of you in love?” Anderson’s expression turned cold. For so many reasons he suspected Yvonne to be here, but this was not a part of it. Yvonne’s eyes turned glassy at how cold Anderson was towards her. Before, he was always wa
