The cloak was ticking down and her patience was getting outnumbered. The skirt she wore was too tight and because of wearing pencil heels, Grace could barely move freely. She grabbed onto the glass of drink firmly and stood up from her seat."Come on! Miss Grace, drink up!" Grace forced herself to smile, holding the glass high and then shutting her eyes off, she drank it. With Lucas she had to come to a party, it turned out there were all the men around, old mostly. She has been drinking a lot because Lucas said so."Bravo! Miss Grace is such a good drinker." Saying so, an old man pulled her to his lap. Holding her waist he touched her face, "Miss Grace, why don't you drink with me? Let's drink together."With a single punch, she felt like breaking the two teeth he had but... It was not the situation now."I... I can't anymore..." She could barely keep her focus, even unable to move. At first, she started drinking with the thoughts that she would be able to not get drunk but... The o
"Mummy, Daddy. Prez is burning with fever." Preston hurriedly ran to the living room where his parents were seated.Both Apollo and Audrey ran to see Maverick as Preston pulled Audrey's finger. "I checked earlier, and he was fine. Why does he have a fever all of a sudden?" Audrey panickedly touched his forehead and she got worried. Indeed, his body was hot."I have called the doctor. He is on his way." Apollo touched his forehead and sat next to him worriedly."Mummy, I am cold." Hearing Maverick they both hugged him. The doctor soon reached there and Audrey was seated next to Maverick. The doctor stared at Maverick, he found out he had no fever, Maverick winked at him so did the doctor. Prescribing some medicines he quickly left."Mummy, I want to sleep with you and Daddy tonight. Please." Maverick with a bunny face said so. Audrey hugged him and agreed to his wish.After some minutes of story telling, Audrey heard him hissing a little."What's wrong? Are you ok?""Hmm." Apollo st
Peeking into the room, Maverick watched Audrey when she was talking to someone on the call and Preston checked the surrounding.In a soft hushed tone, he voiced, "Everything is clear here. Mummy is alone.""Great." Maverick gave him a thumbs up. They waited for her to finish her conversation first.Upon seeing she was done talking, they both ran to the next room. "Mummy, please can you give me a towel? I forgot to bring it inside." Maverick screamed a little louder when his brother hid quickly."Wait, I am coming." Getting a towel, Audrey slowly walked towards the bathroom. She knocked at the door.As the door opened she put her feet inside, extending her hands towards him. "Here, Mike."But as a hand held her hand instead of the towel itself, she quickly understood it was a prank."Apollo." She widened her eyes, getting nervous and mumbled. "Uhmm, sorry. Mike said he... He needed a towel so... I will leave right now "Saying so as she quickly turned to leave, suddenly he held the tow
Rolling to the other side of the bed, Grace smiled staring at the ceiling. She was neither happy nor sad, she didn't even know what she was feeling except that she felt like a bird, so free."Where are you going?" In her world of imagination, she was so lost that she didn't notice, another person was also present there.Grace smiled at Patrick half-heartedly and then said, "I have thought about it... I am gonna take a break from everything.""Take a break?""Hmm...""How about... How about us?" Patrick asked her, he thought of talking to her but instead, he got a surprise, she was leaving.His sudden question paused her, for a moment her fingers fidgeted with the handle of her luggage as she stared blankly and was inattentive, "About us... There was nothing about us. I guess you have either forgotten her or want her back. I will leave it to you. Do as your heart says."Disappointed, he asked, "When will you be back?""Maybe... I am gonna stay a little longer this time. Not sure about
"Boss, we have got the file. What should we do with it?""Burn it."🍀A week passed sooner than she thought it would, Avery had to go to CL sometimes and the kids stayed with Apollo. Apollo had been spending most of the time with the kids.Standing at the entrance, she could hear Saun and Jessy chit-chatting while the kids were playing around.After talking to her, Saun finally asked her, "So what have you decided?""I have decided. I will go for the transplant." Placing an envelope on the desk she answered. Upon hearing her, both Jessy and Saun smiled brightly. Avery has thought of it, when Saun suggested that she would go through the cornea transplant she didn't answer right away. She waited for weeks to give him a surprise."Ow, what is it?" "It's a surprise, please open it when you are alone."* At Night *Standing near the window, Avery was occupied with the questions in her head when suddenly a hand encircled her belly.A radiant smile appeared at the corner of her lips and s
Nearly two weeks passed in the blink of an eye, Apollo took care of her for a week until he had some urgent matters to take care of in the company so he had to leave."Mr Wyatt," Gasping for breath, Daniel hurriedly got in the elevator, he looked quite anxious as if there was bad news soon to be revealed.Apollo furrowed his brows as he asked, "What happened?""The warehouse in the Giant Perilla branch has been burnt." "What? How about the goods?" Apollo asked worriedly."Thankfully, the goods were not delivered back then so they are safe now but... But some of our staff got injured, they are sent to the hospital, they are in critical condition."Hearing him both Noah and Apollo looked at each other. Noah couldn't keep calm and contended out of anger, "Someone must want to warn us to not investigate the case anymore."Apollo clenched his fists and whacked his hand on the wall as he voiced, "They dare to do this. I will send them to hell as they wish."* Back to the mansion *Having h
"Boss, Mr Kobayashi has given the ownership of his company to someone suddenly.""What?"Daniel hurriedly turned on the tv, just like he reported earlier the newsfeed was full of Mr Kobayashi's news."Mr Kobayashi has been working with us for a long time, everyone knows him as a kind and loyal man. Rumours had it that his younger brother was notorious and a decisive man, who can go to great lengths to get what he wants." With a remorseful sigh, Noah voiced so."Yeah, I also heard that he killed his father so he could be the CEO of his father's company but it backfired him because he never knew that his father already had a will, and according to the will his older brother was the supposed CEO..." Daniel added."But it's strange that Mr Kobayashi has passed his position to a new person and especially when it's not his younger brother but a total stranger."Both Apollo and Noah seemed shocked. "What do you mean his younger brother is not the CEO, then who?""Well, It's Jennifer Knight
§ Sob §§ Sob §Handing her a tissue Isla nodded her head in understanding, "So, this is what happened.""I asked him for a reason but he said he couldn't give me any. He just admitted what he did.""Maybe there's more to the story that we don't know about? Should I call him? Maybe you two can..."Avery coughed and tossed the tissue on the ground. "No. You can't." After Apollo left, she waited for him in his office patiently hoping that he would be back but even when it was past five in the evening, he didn't show up. Later, his secretary told her that he was not going to be back so she had to leave.Angry at him, she went to see Isla. As soon as Isla got her call, she headed home to accompany her crying friend."Look at you, you miss him so much, are you sure you will manage to stay like this? You can't even stay away from him for a minute."Avery looked at her sadly, she flared her nose and asked, "Is it so obvious?""Babe, since you came you have locked yourself in this room and y
