“You met with Dylan, Avery?”Avery nodded once. “I did. Well, there's no way I wouldn't associate with him. He came one day and suddenly wanted to do business with me. He's a great deal. So, I couldn't refuse him,” she explained.Grey released a sigh. Avery doesn't know who she was messing with. And if Grey wasn't careful, he might lose her. And he couldn't let that happen, sincerely.“And,” Grey sat very well. “Has there been anything else? Like did he say anything?”Avery regarded him for a moment. “Like what?”Grey cleared his throat meaningfully. He wasn't ready to explain further. Since Avery was starting to see things in a different limelight, he was scared that she would find out more.“And did you tell him anything about us?”“Well, I told him I was acquainted with you. He seemed to know actually. Though, I wonder why but then, I figured out you must be a mafia boss too.”Grey groaned inwardly. He didn't know how he was supposed to tell her to stay away from Dylan. Even when h
Avery took a step closer to him. “A loveless marriage, you say?”Grey nodded once. “Are you satisfied now? Will you listen to me?”Avery regarded him for a moment. Different thoughts went through her mind in a sort of crazy confusion.But at least, she was able to understand where the feeling was coming from.If truly it was a loveless marriage, then her parents would definitely know about it. Until she confirms it, she won't fully trust Grey.“Yes, I will,” Avery said, with a nod. “I will do everything you want.”Grey smiled softly and the action made Avery skip a beat. It was truly love and nothing less.She just didn't understand a lot of things. In fact, she still had problems remembering a lot of things. And it felt like a part of her was missing and she was desperate to find out.“You will tell Dylan that if he wants anything, he should contact me. Tell him you don't want to have anything to do with him.”She nodded once. “I will have my secretary give you the documents so that
Avery woke up earlier the next day. She got ready in a few minutes and headed to the kitchen.She actually felt happy that morning unlike how she had been feeling for a while now.Grey didn't want to talk to her for a while despite how much she tried to make him too but their conversation yesterday showed that there would be more.Avery loved everything. She loved the fact that she could now talk to him freely.Didn't he sleep over at her place? Perhaps more could happen with time. She was so sure of it actually.So, it made her feel very happy.She hummed as she placed the cake on the table. She regarded the arrangements for a moment and she was glad with it.She smiled and pulled off her gloves.It was time to go and call Grey. It was time to eatAvery entered her room instead and searched for something nice. She decided on a short black dress that went just above her thighs slightly. It was a sleeveless one and one that accentuated her curves.He regarded herself for a moment in th
Avery opened the door and stepped inside. Grey was still sleeping when she moved closer.While Grey was getting treated, she went out to get some flowers and snacks.She expected Grey to be awake in a few minutes. So, he would be able to eat. She was so worried earlier. What would she do if something truly had happened to him? She might not have been able to get on with her life.Damn! She really loved him so much.She watched him for a moment, at how peaceful he looked while asleep. She released a sigh, glad at the improvement so far.She placed the flowers and the snacks on the table beside him before she walked out again.She needed to meet with the doctor to hear about Grey's condition.“Hold on, Signora!” A voice called out softly, just as the elevator door was closing.Avery stopped it in time for a young lady to enter.“Thank you so much! Signora!” She laughed. “It's so hard coming up here.”Avery managed a smile.The old woman looked up at Avery. “Do you work here or are you
Consciousness returned to Grey slowly and his gaze searched around.Where was he?A slight headache hit in. He groaned and reached for his head.“Are you alright?” A soft voice asked suddenly.He looked up at a pair of brown eyes. Wait, a nurse?“Yes, just a slight headache,” he responded.The nurse smiled down at him. “You will be fine with this,” she assured and raised a syringe. She regarded him for another moment before she injected him.Grey didn't flinch. It was as if nothing penetrated him. Well, a lot had penetrated him before. What more could a syringe do?“Wow, I'm impressed,” the nurse smiled.Grey didn't really remember anything. In fact, the headache was making it difficult for him. But then, the pain ebbed away slowly as the nurse had said.“Where am I?” He said and groaned inwardly. “I know this is a hospital. I'm sorry for that stupid question.”The nurse laughed.He did as well. “I mean how did I get here?”“Well, your girlfriend brought us here. She stepped out a few
The blaring of music from the house was the only evidence that Grey needed to know that his girlfriend, Nora, was really celebrating her birthday. But she told him she wouldn't. And Grey didn't understand why she would lie to him. They've been dating for six months now. Grey opened the door, and Nora and several friends were dancing together. Grey was really unhappy, he called Nora’s name several times but she didn’t hear that because of the loud music. Rushing to her, Grey grabbed Nora’s hand, Nora held his hand too and turned her face to Grey with a sweet smile. But when she saw Grey’s angry face, her smile disappeared. “Why did you come here?” Nora asked calmly. Grey said,” I think you told me that you wouldn’t celebrate your birthday, so now what’re you doing? Why are you lying to me?” Nora responded mockingly, “I had a lot of friends. They have decided to celebrate for me. It wasn't a big deal, anyway you didn't even have money to do it for me!”. Grey was in silence, he h
Grey looked back at Nora, at the woman he gave his heart to the moment he was lost, the moment it felt like he would never find happiness in life. He stared up at Seth for a moment, at the arrogance and the stupid smirk on his face. Well, he had everything under his control while the only thing Grey had was Nora. But not anymore. Nora was going to leave him as well. “Nora, is this true? Or is this a prank?” He asked softly. Nora sighed, “Yes Grey, we are breaking up. Here’s Seth, my new man,” she introduced and Tracy squealed with happiness. Grey doesn’t even know what was making her so happy. If he ever had a way to pay back, the first person he would teach a great lesson was Tracy. And the sad thing was that she never loved him. And he really thought they both had something for each other. Grey bit back his tears, he wouldn’t cry. “Poor guy, you didn’t even touch this woman’s hands right? You’re really pathetic.” “If you can lick my shoes, I may give you a job as a security
Avery gave him a dirty glare. "What sort of question is that? I should be asking you!"The door opened almost immediately and King walked in, with a wide smile on his face. "I knew you were always with men. I just don't know why grandfather wouldn't trust me on it."" What the fuck are you saying!" Avery snapped. " I know nothing. I don't even know how this idiot got on my bed!" She argued.Smith smiled and took out his phone to take a shot. Grey was watching the drama, unable to ascertain what was really happening.Avery got up quickly. " Please, don't do this. I have no idea how it happened!" She pleaded and moved closer to him.Smith scoffed. " Too late, I have already sent it to my grandfather.""Damn!" Avery yelled and fell to the floor. She couldn't stop the mad beating of her heart. The thought of how much her grandfather would be disappointed in her ate her raw."Hey! What am I doing here!" Grey yelled suddenly, finally able to locate his voice. At first, he thought he was dre
