"Mr Wyatt, John just called me and said, he can't find Miss Knight anywhere. She has gone missing." Apollo's hands on the computer stopped and he glared at Noah who seemed to be panicking and worried. "What?""Yeah, John had been looking for her but he can't find her anywhere. Guess... Miss Knight has run away again to avoid going back with him." Noah added to his line. It has been some days since she had started avoiding John, and she skipped going with him. And the sole reason was Apollo.Apollo clenched his jaw, clear rage visible in those blue eyes of his. He was a patient man but her action could easily force him to do the opposite of his demeanour. "Search the whole city. I want you to find her in an hour." Apollo ordered Noah in an authoritative tone of voice.There, Avery checked her phone again and again. It was past 10 and she was still walking on the roadside. There was no cab available on this roadside and she didn't want to take Apollo's help.Her legs were trembling d
Liam's Birthday PartyAmong all the people present there, Avery and Apollo outshone everyone. Hand in hand walking, they looked so perfect giving the feeling as if they were made for each other. Avery could see the ring on his finger that was gone missing this morning, she guessed he probably wore it for just a show. True to say she didn't have the slightest interest to be here, but she was curious about certain something that got her pulled here.Seeing her family also present, Avery got all wounded up, she decided to ignore them. Her main target was Jennifer who was now dancing with the birthday boy, Avery haven't found out yet what did Apollo do to them. It got her curiosity piqued. She was staring at the couple dancing with sharp eyes when suddenly a familiar face appeared before her eyes."Let's dance." As he extended his hand towards her, she grabbed it. They danced together, standing out as the most envious couple.After they were done with dancing, Apollo had to talk to som
Avery wished to stay at the party as she had something to talk about with Jennifer but Apollo didn't wait for her, so she followed him leaving the thought of talking to Jennifer on another day.The whole way back to the mansion from the party, she didn't utter a single word to him. That was bothering him so much, that he hated it.As she got down the car he quickly held her hand."What were you talking about with him?""Nothing." She answered him calmly.Apollo getting irritated, asked her for the second time. "It can't be nothing, what is it?"This time she halted, she stared at him bitterly. Unlike every time, her eyes looked rather cold and also gloomy. It confused him. Even when they went to the party, she looked all ok, as if the thing from this morning didn't even happen in real."You don't have to know about it." Saying so, she pulled her hand from his grip.As she walked upstairs he followed her. "Avery.""Do not follow me, I have nothing to tell you." She let him know. "Sto
Drying her hair, Avery put her earrings on. She woke up a little late today so she was in a hurry for the office.Walking downstairs she looked around, except for the chef and butler Fain there was nobody present, especially the man she assumed would apologise to her.The sweet aroma of the delicacies made for breakfast hit her nostrils.Avery walking towards the breakfast table saw that table was filled with so many dishes but strangely, instead of having an appetite she felt like vomiting.She quickly ran to the bathroom. Rinsing her mouth with water she stared at the mirror.Avery stared at the small calendar placed on the side table of her bed.'It should have come long ago, why it's not here yet? Is something wrong with me?'* *"Ava, are you ok? You seem a little tired." Emily took the trays from her hand and placed them on the countertop. Touching her forehead Emily gazed at her all concerned, "You don't have a fever, why do you look so tired then?""I am ok," Avery said with a
Apollo already made a quick call to her, but she didn't pick it up. "Mr Wyatt, I can't find her whereabouts either. Maybe Miss Knight already went back home." Noah commented, checking his phone again.Apollo stared at his wristwatch, it was already past 10. He wished the night to spend perfectly with his wife, who knew it would be ruined by his mother. He took a deep breath and remaining silent while playing with his phone.'I know her, she wouldn't just miss my call for no reason. Is she ok? Where is she now?'"Let's go back." As he casually stepped in the car, suddenly he cried out, "Avery?" "Miss Knight. Where is she..."Noah saw Apollo cross the road by running and then he saw Avery walking on the opposite side. He finally could take a breath. Since Apollo couldn't find her, Noah had to work on finding her and it got him worried as well.Running to her, Apollo grabbed her hand from behind and called out, "Avery."Avery turned around and saw him. His eyes staring at her worriedly
With a heavy heart, she leaned down to get the report when suddenly a hand grabbed it just before her.With a gloomy face, as she looked up she was surprised. Liam was holding her taste report and his eyes were fixated on the paper.She gulped and tried taking it away from him, "Give it to me."Instead of giving it to her, Liam held it high. Then he read the report. He stared at her, jarred as he asked her, "You are pregnant?"Avery quickly grabbed the report from his hand and walked away, Liam followed after her. Though the news of her being pregnant was making his blood boil he didn't want to leave her alone."Ava, wait.""Stop following me."She increased her pace and Liam ran after her. Avery felt a little dizzy as she ran too fast when Liam held her hand, thankfully or she would lose balance and probably end up face-planted on the floor."Does he know that you are carrying his child?""What that has got to do with you?" Her voice sounded a little trembling."Ava, I am just worrie
"Mr Wyatt."Apollo excused himself and finally could have a break. Since he came here, he has been stuck, he couldn't leave at all."What happened?""Miss Knight was here awhile ago. She... She saw you having dinner with..." Noah added, keeping an eye on the Piper family who was talking to Apollo's mother.Apollo's eyes dilated as he asked him, "Why did not you say it earlier?""I wanted to but you seemed busy so..." Upon hearing Noah, Apollo quickly ran to grab his coat. He thought he would tell her about all the things happening later but unexpectedly something kept happening.Seeing him running his mother quickly stopped him.She pulled a pretentious smile, peeking at Elizabeth who was seated not much at a distance from her. Unlike her smile for Elizabeth, her facial expression changed the moment she looked at her own son. "Where are you going?" She asked him in a not-so-pleasant tone."Something urgent came up.""El is sitting there, what else can be so urgent other than her?"A
'I don't believe any of the words that woman said, I know Ava. She will do anything but never betray me, she is not what my mom is implying.' Apollo kept gazing at the woman sleeping on the bed, he loved how pure she looked, she looked the most naive and innocent in his eyes unlike those girls out there.'Should I check it out? What am I thinking?'He kneaded the middle of his eyebrows and let out a sigh, shoving the thoughts away.Apollo pulled the cover on her a little and kissing on her forehead, he turned the lights off in the room. As he walked downstairs Noah calmly ran to him."Mr Wyatt, here's Miss Knight's belongings." Avery left her purse and coat at Roy's house so Apollo ordered him to get them."Thanks, you are off to work now.""Thank you, Mr Wyatt."After Noah left, something kept telling the same thing to him over and over again. Apollo did shoo away the weird thoughts in his mind that kept coming back but he couldn't stop thinking about what his mother said to him.
