"Here." Sitting on the couch Avery kept staring at the space. Apollo passed her a bottle of water and asked, "Who were they?"In a daze, she kept staring at her hand and uttered, "Debt collector.""Debt collector?" "Yes." She replied.Avery let out a sigh and added, "They are after me because they want to kill me and then sell... Sell my organs so it can pay off the amount we owe them."Upon hearing her, he clenched his fists. If he was late for even a moment, he couldn't imagine what could have happened to her. He couldn't imagine anyone hurting her. He would just kill them. His heart ached when he saw her in pain, he wished he could take all her pain away and make her happy."They are after my granny. My granny is dead so they want to kill me in order to collect the debt..."Hearing her he patted her shoulder and she rested her head on his shoulder. Running his fingers on her forehead gently he asked her, "Why didn't you tell me about it? I could be of some help.""I did not know
The Next DayAvery found herself sleeping next to him, she remembered every single thing that happened last night. This time she was not regretting what happened.Avery smiled as she saw he was sleeping on his stomach. She put her head on his back, their bare bodies colliding with each other. She loved his touch and the feeling.Avery kissed his shoulder and rested her head against his back."Thank you for last night. I hope things between us will always remain like this." She uttered.Wrapping the cover around her body she went to take a shower. It didn't take much time for her to get ready. Today, she was extra happy.On the breakfast table, she made all the love dishes, everywhere one could see was filled with love. Even on the bread, she put a heart on it.Upon seeing Apollo, she smiled at him. Though he didn't have that smile on his face she could see his eyes filled with love. maybe he was yet not ready to show it to her. She assumed."Good morning." She asserted.He sat on his
A middle-aged woman, looking beautiful in her clothes and ornaments she had on was sitting on the settee. Apollo walking towards the living room saw her. She was her mother, he couldn't remember the last time he saw her but he missed her.Apollo was not so close to his mother. He believed she can here to say something very important to him. After all, they barely talked on the phone if not they never did.Upon seeing him the woman said, "Tell your secretary to leave us alone."Apollo stared at Noah and he quickly excused himself and left.In the whole house, only the two were present.Apollo sat opposite her and said, "Good evening, Mom.""Evening." Her voice came out as stern as his. They were kinda similiar in personality, Apollo looked like his mother more than his father."You wanted to see me? What happened?" The woman crossed her legs and leaning against the sofa she asserted, "If I wouldn't have called you here, you wouldn't come to see me. Isn't that true?"Apollo looked awa
"Boss, are you sure you wanna do this?" Noah asked Apollo.Apollo stared at him as if sending shooting daggers through his eyes. Indeed, he made plan to do this. Though at first, he couldn't think if he really wanted to do this but now, he was sure."Are you questioning me now?""I didn't mean that. It's just... Miss Knight is here. She might see you and misunderstand...""Who cares if she sees me or not." He asserted as he gulped a sip of his wine. Apollo was seated on the couch, drinking when tones of women were coming at him. Noah standing behind him was praying to God that Avery wouldn't see him. Though Apollo intentionally came here after seeing her with Roy.There, Avery was sitting still. Roy told her he was coming back but he didn't come back yet. She let out a sigh and stared at her drinks.The far she knew Roy, she trusted him. Drinking a little wouldn't make her a drunk right? She thought.Avery touched the glass of drink when suddenly Roy appeared there. He grabbed the g
It was the next morning. Avery was unable to recognise the room she was in, it was totally different from her room. She woke up with a whirling sensation. With giddiness in her head, she walked around in search of her purse and phone, she remembered last night she had them."Good morning." Upon seeing Roy, Avery was disoriented mentally and a little disappointed at the same time. She expected someone else in his place.With a cheerless smile, she asserted, "Morning."'So it's his apartment.'Roy looked handsome in the chef uniform he was wearing. Though at work, she never noticed this much about him, she could see the small details about him now such as how caringly he was making breakfast just like when you see love in someone's eyes when they are in love. Roy pushed a bowl towards her and showed her a beaming smile, "Hangover soup for you.""Thank you."Roy headed back to the kitchen giving her an appreciative smile.Avery looked around. She could see many of his photos hanging on
The dining room felt empty, apart from butler Fain and Apollo there was no one else present.Apollo stared around, every night it felt more lively as if tonight even the dining room itself was telling him that it needed someone's existence in there. A little disappointment took place in his heart yet keeping his cold demeanour he took a seat."Where is Mrs Wyatt?" Having gazed at his wristwatch, He questioned butler Fain. Butler Fain answered him respectfully, "She didn't come down since she left after making dinner.""Didn't come down?""No, Mr Wyatt."Apollo felt his stomach full, suddenly he lost his appetite.How did she look when he told her those words, he remembered it. Knowing it must have hurt her, he was so angry at himself.'It's late, why she didn't come out for dinner yet?... I was not prepared to tell her those things but I didn't know what I was saying either. It just turned out that way...'**The Next Day"Ava, we are missing some ingredients. Without it, we can't ma
"Mr Knight, the reporters are flooded outside the hospital." Paul's secretary reported so to Paul. Sitting on the hospital bed Paul put down the tab in his hand and asserted, "Someone must have intentionally released the news, that's why.""Yes, now the investors want to terminate their contracts with us. The product sales rate has been dropping to great lengths. Everyone now thinks that Knight V. L is going bankrupt." "What?" Upon hearing his secretary, Paul broadened his eyes. His mouth went wide open. He was hella shocked, he didn't expect it to be this soon."Sorry, Mr Knight. You were hospitalized so I didn't get to tell you but things are out of our hands now." His secretary added.Paul touched his chest, he had been hospitalized here for over a week now, away from the outer world. He was the only one taking care of the company, so if he was gone there wouldn't be anybody.Taking a deep breath, Paul looked around. He was disenchanted, as he saw none in the room like he expecte
"Ava.""Are you guys going somewhere?" Avery with a bright smile on her face asked so. She was waiting for the car to pick her up.Soha smiled at Emily devilishly and Emily at Megan. They looked like they were planning of doing something. Suddenly they surrounded Avery, holding her arms. They grabbed her purse and phone and dragged her with them when Roy followed them behind."Yeah, we are going out for dinner and you are joining us.""Huh? Wait. Guys..."**Putting one hand in his pocket when the other one was carrying his coat Apollo took a seat opposite where his mother was seated. There was not much time that they had a family dinner like this."How was your day?" Not taking a look at his face, she asked him.He answered, sounding cold as usual. "Good."Since the past few years, they became kinda distant. 'She is the best mom in the world' thought of him had long gone away.It gave him a boring feeling, that family thingy was not here anymore.When they were eating, his mother as
