April Avery Novels & Stories

Mon compagnon, Luther Evans, a dépensé vingt mille euros pour deux billets de première classe à bord de l'Express au Clair de Lune à destination de la côte de Vespera. Au moment où nous allions monter à bord, il m'a tirée à l'écart et a donné ma place à ma sœur adoptive, Zoey Turner. Il a expliqué : « Il ne reste qu'une seule place libre dans le train, et le fils de Zoey n'a jamais vu l'océan. C'est une occasion parfaite. Les enfants ne peuvent pas être séparés de leur mère, alors je vais les emmener d'abord, les installer, puis je reviendrai te chercher. » J'ai hoché la tête et je suis descendue du train, le regardant disparaître au loin. Une fois arrivés à la plage, un ami lui a demandé pourquoi je n'étais pas venue avec eux. Il était occupé à gonfler une bouée pour Zoey et a répondu avec désinvolture, sans lever les yeux. « L'Express au Clair de Lune circule tous les trois jours. Avery peut simplement acheter son propre billet et venir plus tard. Je lui achèterai quelques cadeaux pour me faire pardonner. Elle est vraiment compréhensive et ne m'en voudra pas. » Toute la famille avait toujours favorisé Zoey, et désormais, même mon propre compagnon ne faisait pas exception. Puisque personne ne voulait vraiment me voir, j'ai décidé de partir dans trois jours.

In the second year of my divorce battle with Adrian Pierce, the judge awarded him everything. As I was packing, my daughter pulled an old cell phone out of one of the boxes. "Mommy, look. It still turns on." I tapped the screen, and an email popped up. It was one I had written to myself 10 years ago. "Clara, how are you at 28? Did you marry the man you love? Is your baby adorable? He loves kids so much. You two must be so happy together." Tears splashed onto the screen as I typed back, one sentence at a time. "I did get married, and we had a daughter. However, I found out he was cheating on me with my best friend, our daughter's godmother, during the third year of our marriage. We spent two years fighting through the divorce, and he won. I walked away with nothing." A reply came back mere seconds after I hit the send button. "You're lying! Adrian and Avery love me more than anyone else in the world. They would never betray me like that." A bitter smile tugged at my lips as my trembling fingers typed another swift but brutal reply. "The people who loved you the most? Funny. Our daughter was born with a congenital heart defect. She wouldn't survive without surgery. I got down on my knees and begged Adrian for the money to save her, but he accused me of trying to scam him. "He froze every one of my accounts and used the money from our wedding gifts to pay for his wedding with Avery. The invitations have already been sent out. "Wake up, Clara. Adrian will no longer love you 10 years from now. Now that you know the cruel truth, it's your choice whether to walk away now or stay with him."
