Not Her Usual Target Chapter 31: The Family
Avery smiled, hearing the voice of his mom sent chills to her spine. She immediately regretted the dress she chose for that day. She should've worn her most expensive dress if Carson's family would just judge her. Mrs. Lee looked at her from head to toe. She looked like she was around 50 years old but her skin was glossy. Her hair was tied up into a bun and was covered by her black hat. Her make-up was not too much unlike the wives of Avery's exes. Her dress was black as well. The design was simple yet it was elegant. She looked like a famous celebrity who decided to retire and spend her days at spas. Avery almost gulped but she chose not to. She knew she had to endure this and maybe she could win Carson for real. "Hi! It's a pleasure to meet you"Avery offered her hand and Mrs. Lee took it almost immediately. Her eyes widen as their hands touched. "Soft hands" Avery chuckled, "Thank you" The woman took Avery's hand as if examining it. "But you work hard on your own. Don't have

Avery's eyes widen in surprise, "What?"Carson then walked to her and held her hand, "This is what you wanted all along, right?" She smirked and held his hand tighter, "you bet" When the family went out of the building, flashes of cameras welcomed them. The family was suddenly in their best selves, not that they weren't before. But it just felt like they were such a perfect family that everyone would want to be a part of.Mrs. Lee clinger her arm on Mr. Lee. Ms. Lee, Carson's sister, smiled widely as she wore her sunglasses. Carson then held Avery's waist and pulled her next to him. Avery's heart continued to beat fast but she was not sure if it was because of the sudden contact or the overwhelming attention she got from the press. "What does this mean? Is Avery a new part of your family?" one of the reporters boldly asked as he held a recorder. Avery turned to Carson who was about to speak but the spotlight was moved to Mr. Lee. "Yes. As you all know, my son brought this won
Not Her Usual Target Chapter 33: Her Past
The room was silent after Avery said her answer. She was nervous that she made the wrong decision but it was the safest. It was the answer that could lead her to her goal. Mr. Lee smiled, "I like this girl, Carson." Carson's grip on Avery loosened as he chuckled nervously. All he ever did was please his father and it was saddening on Avery's side. Ms. Lee then turned to her father, "So is everything settled? We can eat now?"Mr. Lee turned to his wife. Mrs. Lee continued to stare at Avery. "Okay, I'll approve of her. But be sure you wouldn't wear anything that won't match your new image." Avery chuckled, "That wouldn't be a problem."After their conversation, the family ordered their meal. Avery was thankful she was used to eating at expensive restaurants like this. It's not that she needed to impress them with what she knew but she didn't want to make out a fool of herself. When they were done eating, they decided to go on their separate ways. The press was also divided and
Not Her Usual Target Chapter 34: In The Car
As the kiss grew intense, both of them stopped to gasp for air. Avery then started unbuttoning his shirt while Carson placed his hand under her dress. He started holding her leg until it reached her breasts. She let out a soft moan as his hand was a bit cold and the sudden touch sent chills to her spine. She removed his polo and started kissing his neck as one of her hands slowly grabbed the bulge on his pants. He started massaging her chest as he bit his stop, trying to stop himself from making a sound. His other hand was still on her leg. Avery stopped from what she was doing to look at him. "So this is your game huh? Don't wanna make a sound?"He chuckled, "I'd rather hear you scream." She raised an eyebrow as she put one of her hands under his pants, making his eyes widen. He then moved closer to her to unclip her bra, making it easier for him to touch the sensitive parts of her body. Her expression changed and she looked pleased with what he was doing. He smelled so good th
Not Her Usual Target Chapter 35: The New Game Plan
Avery slowly covered her body with his blazer. He smirked as he watched her expression, "Does that mean that it's game over?"She didn't expect him to say these things. She was honestly speechless and it felt like she was with a different person. "Not yet." She then leaned closer to his ear, "I like what your father said about becoming part of your family."When she moved away, he cupped her face. "I think you're a perfect candidate anyway."Carson's eyes widen with what he just said. Avery was surprised too. She thought she was just playing around teasing him but the expression on his face was genuine. The tension between them became awkward. Avery then moved away as she wore his blazer. He was frozen on the spot and didn't know what to respond. "Avery"She lightly smiled, "let's go home?"When Avery arrived at her apartment, she saw Jane smiling at her. She knew that by now, her bestfriend must've heard the news. "I did my part of the deal."Jane happily hugged her friend.
Not Her Usual Target Chapter 36: Her Feelings For Him
Avery can feel her heart race as she continued the conversation. She knew making deals with a bunch of people would not do her any good but there were just some things she couldn't control on her own. If she eliminated Ji, everything would go as planned. She and Carson would be happy. She suddenly paused by her own thought. "Okay. I want you to end up with Carson. That's all I ask."She frowned by the request. "Alex, you know I don't---" "I am risking a lot of things with your request too. My company could go down because of what you wanted." Avery gulped. "Are you sure this is what you wanted?" Alexander laughed from the other line, "Seeing you happy is what I want. I'll give an update within the month." Before she could say anything else, the line was cut off. She took a deep breath and turned to Carson. How could she settle? That afternoon, Avery was almost done with her work when Carson walked up to her. "You mentioned that charity that would let me paint, remember?"A
Not Her Usual Target Chapter 37: Her Fear
Avery's smile faded the moment she realized everything. Her heart that was fluttering turned into fear. It felt as if everything was crumbling down and all her pillars were breaking. Realizing that she was in-love made her weak and ashamed of herself. Avery immediately looked away, surprising Carson. All throughout their time at the orphanage, she kept her distance from him. Carson noticed this but he chose not to say anything to prevent issues with the press as well as the children.After the small event, Carson and Avery head home. The ride was quiet as neither decided to speak. Avery was busy looking by the window, thinking of a way to solve her problem. On the other hand, Carson was thinking of what he did wrong to make her upset."Avery?""Hm?""Did I do something?" She paused. Her expression softened. She turned to him and smiled, "Nothing. Just tired." But she knew she wasn't dumb. She just wished he'd let it go and she was glad that he did. When they arrived at her ap
Not Her Usual Target Chapter 38: The Real Date
Avery laughed, a fake laugh that was so obvious to Carson. "Do I have to always say yes to you? Just because we are in this fake relationship, you can just ask me everything you want?" His grip on her loosened, "Is this about yesterday? About me saying you're my happiness? You were scared that I would fall for you?" Her face softened because of what he said. When she didn't reply, he nodded as if he took it as her response. He moved away but it was obvious that he was hurt. "Don't worry, Avery. I won't force you to stay with me if you didn't want to. I can tell my father to stop the whole thing." Avery looked down, she was debating the right words to say even if her heart already knew what it was. He was about to leave when she spoke, "Carson. It's not about that. Everything's just overwhelming for me. I didn't expect that things would end up like this." She was surprised that she was telling the truth. She was telling him her real feelings. It felt scary but somehow the burden w
