Chapter 26By the time Avery got back to the villa it was already dark that she was pretty sure Lucien must be in the room which was why she didn't bother to meet him and just went straight ahead inside the room and to the extent of telling her maid she wants to be alone for a while.After freshening up, she tied a towel around her chest while staring weirdly at herself through the mirror. The spirit of loneliness was drawing her more and closer and she wouldn't be able to get herself out of the mess.As she looked into her reflection, she raised her hand to gently stroke her cheeks not without thinking “I must have been stupid to think he'll feel guilty.” She thought silently while she bit her lips like a hungry dog.Her fingers tremble slightly as she continues to fix her gaze on the mirror. She couldn't help but be afraid of what was making her tremble in fear.Avery realized she was scared and alone in this tiny world without a single person besides her. But thinking about it she
Chapter 27The ray of sun glinting through the window shone brightly into the sleepy woman on the bed as she constantly turned around on the king-sized bed before finally opening her eyes which set on the man's back.Trying to sit up on the bed but realized her body had gone limb with her rigid sleeping posture but still she tried to get up until the Man realized she was awake and went to help her up.“Are you okay?” He asked, even though the word seemed cold one could easily sense he meant the three sentences.“What do you mean? Have always been okay.” Avery mumbled as she didn't seem to realize when they suddenly got close that he would ask her such a question until last night's incident flowed into her head.The man could see the shock on her face and realized she must have recalled the incident “You fainted last night .” He said awkwardly with his hands fixed in his trouser pants.“I'm okay now, you shouldn't have bothered yourself. I guess I was tired from the shopping.” She said
Chapter 28The man coldly stalked into the maid's headquarters with Butler Lee at his back, his face contorted with anger,” Who did it?” He demanded, his voice was low but yet coldly dangerous which made the maids look down at their feet unable to look up.“Which one of you dared to tamper with my wife's bathing water?” The man roared like a wild lion. The maids looked at each other, fear and confusion were written boldly on their faces.They all shook their heads in negativity, no one among them was willing to admit to their crime. It may sound weird but the man never wants any of them to admit to their crime rather he wants to personally fish out the person from the hook.The man narrowed his eyes dangerously, he knew that someone among the crowds of maids was responsible for the incident and was determined to find the latter.The man's gaze lingered on each of the maids, studying each of their facial expressions for signs of guilt or deception. He grew more frustrated as he couldn'
Chapter 29Avery carefully swung her legs over the edge of the bed and sat up. She forced herself to get up after the doctor left for some time.As soon as she reached the door, the doctor's words came rushing into her head which was unbelievable for her as the man he knew wouldn't even want to get close to her.“Oh geez! He might have done that out of pity!” She mumbled and steadily pushed the door open. She had been expecting her maid to come over when she woke up but she didn't, which was unusual for her.Avery walked downstairs but found no one in the mansion, the mansion was silent with no maid interaction like usual which was making her throat itchy.“Hello, is anyone there?” “Hello, where are you guys?” She yelled frustratedly with different weird thoughts going through her head.Avery, frozen instantly, the moment ran through her head,” What if she has finally died and she became a ghost that no one can see her?” She thought but that only made her shiver in fear.The silence
Chapter 30Everyone stared blankly at the headmaid, a lot found it unbelievable, as they saw no reason why the woman would tamper with Miss Eileen's bathing water even the man wasn't left out.Lucien looked straight into the woman's face, the woman had stood by him for a long period and knew when she was scared and guilty. The man could see the tense guilty expression on her face.The man stood face to face with the woman, his anger rising with every passing second, which was scaring the hell out of the woman that she couldn't bear to straight into Lucien's eyes and just stared blankly at the floor. She looked pale and through like she was about to faint.“You all dismissed.” Butler Lee spoke up, he knew the two would need some privacy.“Follow me,” The man coldly uttered and walked straight back inside the room.~~~~~“Explain yourself!” Lucien demanded his voice shaking furiously with emotion as he manly turned his back against the woman.Mrs. Monica tried speaking but no words came
Chapter 31“Who is the person? I can teach you a few skills to make the person fully yours and get all his attention!” She said with a broad smile.“Oh really?” Avery asked.“Is that how you were able to get Jake's full attention?!” Avery wanted to scream out those words but she ended up forcing herself to smile.“It's no one, actually,” Avery said and tried leaving the room but was held back by Isabella with a smiley gaze on her face.She sighed frustratingly while staring weirdly at the hand that held hers, just the sight of her hand holding hers was making her boil in rages.Avery has been trying so hard to stay far away from her but noticed how she always hovered around her every second. Had it been she wasn't aware of the kind of person she was she would have thought she was a friend whereas she's nothing but a foe.She has been trying so hard to be polite towards her after all they're coworkers and doesn't want to show her hatred towards her maybe she didn't take the hint or was
Chapter 32The moment she pushed the door open to the living room, Avery met Butler Lee who was eagerly waiting for her.“Miss Eileen, my master is expecting his dinner, please take the dinner to him.” The man said with a slight bow even though he knew he was probably risking his job but what could he do, the woman had been begging him to give her just a chance.Avery felt panic at that moment but what could she do, her devil husband had been ignoring her for weeks which was taking a thorough toll on her.“What about the guard at the entrance of his door?” She asked as she could clearly remember how those guards let her inside.“They've been taken care of, Miss Eileen.” Butler Lee said calmly as he watched her rush towards the stairs instantly even though he never thought there was this side of her he couldn't help but be amazed as she seemed slightly different from when she met her.During their first encounter Butler Lee could remember vividly how proud the lady was but seeing her r
Chapter 33“Fuck you, Lucien!” She screamed out her lungs as she threw the golden card she had taken to give and appreciate his help but she didn't hesitate to throw it which landed on his back.Avery walked out of the room not without slamming the door so heavily that even the guards freaked out. The guards bowed respectfully at her but the lady couldn't help but send them a deadly glare that sent shivers down their spines.As the guards watched her leave they couldn't help but to feel cringe as they wondered what could have happened to make her behave in that manner. They could remember vividly the expression on her face.“Master Lucien must have been more deadly towards his wife!” A guard said shooting his head negativity, one wouldn't blame him for running his mouth like a wide tap.“You had better keep your mouth under lock and key!” Another one chirped in since he knew the guard wasn't what was happening in the mansion.“Everyone returns to each of your positions!” The guar yell
