"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.
"Once she knows you have a soft spot for her. She will make you walk at her beck and call." Those words kept beating in his ears. Apollo annoyed, broke the pencil that he had been playing with until now. Putting a file on the table Noah noticed the circumstances, he grabbed the broken pencil and said, "I have got the report just now. Miss Knight was bodily weak, she fainted, she probably didn't take proper rest that's why she fainted. Though the doctor advised her to stay in the hospital so she would get the proper rest she left in a hurry. And..." Noah hesitated."And what?""That day she met Mr Liam and... Mr Roy was the one who took care of her in the hospital. That's all."Apollo looked unaffected, he tightened his fingers into a fist and smirked. "Fainted? Bodily weak? Is this some kind of prank of hers as those gold diggers do?"Noah was utterly shocked, he couldn't believe what he was hearing was the truth. This was the first ever time he heard his boss speak about Avery in s
Pulling the chair behind her, Roy sent her a friendly gesture.Avery gave him an appreciative smile as she added, "You didn't have to. It's an extra hassle for you." "Don't say like that. I will be bored having dinner alone. It's good to have a companion." He asserted.Avery was going to go back when Roy got her here with the excuse that he was getting bored and had none to have dinner with. They were seated opposite each other. Roy had been extra careful around her these past days, he was taking care of her well like a good friend. As the food was served Avery smiled and casually said, "I have something to talk to you about. It's been quite a long, I wanted to talk about it long ago but I just forgot.""Sure, what do you wanna talk about?" He offhandedly asked her.But what she said next got him to stop eating. He was taken by surprise."That night, you took me to that club because you wished to see her, didn't you?... Your ex-girlfriend." "What are you saying...""I can see the
"Mr Wyatt, everything is ready. The papers had been sent to your mansion." Daniel from the other side of the call reported. As Apollo hung the call, he opened his eyes with a dizzy head. Staring at his surroundings he was taken aback. Everywhere he could look was filled with her clothes and his.Apollo pulled his hair in annoyance and sat on the bed, he still had the effect of the drinks he had last night. "Strange! I have good alcohol tolerance, how the hell did I get so much drunk that I am in this condition?"Then he remembered what he did last night and he saw the spot next to him was empty. Apollo disappointed at his action, slapped himself."Shit! What the hell did I do?"As he covered the bedsheet around his waist and got up from the bed, his eyes caught on the droplets of blood placed on the floor. It mainly led to the door.He saw the knife that also had blood on it. It didn't take him a minute to understand where the blood came from. Last night, he was afraid she would lea
A day passed. Apollo didn't come back home again and she didn't bother calling him."Mr Wyatt, Miss Knight said she will skip tonight's event. She can't come because she has something important to do." Noah politely reported to Apollo. Apollo in his white engagement suit made a mistake out of displeasure, he prepared well not thinking about her absence.Apollo clenched his fists in indignant. He uttered with his grinding teeth, "She wants to avoid the event because she is damn jealous! Noah, invite all the media to tonight's event."Noah's mouth was open ajar, he was unable to function properly because of how his boss has been changing his mood frequently. "But didn't you say that media must not be involved in the event ton..."Apollo pulled the button of his shirt irately and it fell on the ground, he let a sigh out of disgruntlement. Everything started getting on his nerves, even the small shirt button. He grabbed the button and threw it in the bin. "Do as I said.""Got it, Mr Wyat
The road was slippery, the night was not so dark. Droplets of rain were making the car window blur. The weather was supposed to be rainy-free today but suddenly it started raining just after she left the mansion.Avery kept gazing at the screen of her phone, her heart was heavy, it craved to hear his voice, to see him so much. "Sorry, Eve. I thought he would for sure come after hearing I am sick but..." Jessy could only give her a sad look, their expectation turned into a disappointment. Jessy called Apollo saying she was sick, but Apollo instead of coming himself, sent the doctors and more like the whole hospital.Avery stared at the bracelet she was wearing, it was given by Jessy. When she left the Lindwens House today, she had so much to say but she couldn't. Jessy was so lovely and likeable, she loved Avery wholeheartedly. Avery didn't have the heart to tell her that she was actually...'Sorry, granny. Today was probably the last time we met, maybe we will never meet again. I wil
Apollo checked in the kitchen, but she was not there. Frustrated, he checked her room and couldn't find her anywhere."Where the heck did this woman go to now?"Apollo angrily called Butler Fain."Where did madam go to? Did she tell you anything?""No, she didn't tell me anything." Butler Fain in a scared tone answered him. It was unusual to see Apollo so angry, and especially since he had a wife, he seemed to become more soft-hearted until without any climate-changes, he turned colder than before. SO SCARY!"When did she leave?" Impatient, Apollo asked him.Staring at his wristwatch butler Fain answered him, "The far I remember she left yesterday, it's been more than 24 hours by now she... She didn't come back.""What?" Apollo didn't keep up with the news from the mansion these past days, he didn't think she would dare to leave the mansion since she was accustomed to living a good life."Yes."Apollo got angry, he asked butler Fain in an enraged tone, "Why didn't you tell me that she
