The Billionaire's Bride Chapter 13
Zoe didn’t respond to his greeting. Hell, she had nothing to say to him and she wasn’t sure she had found the voice to speak to him yet. As she stood, Mia strolled into their space and Avery turned to his sister.“All done.” Mia said as she leaned on the wall, looking at the both of them.“Thank you, Mia.” He replied and to Zoe’s surprise, walked up the stairs and to the room they shared. Zoe opened her mouth in shock before turning to look at the teenager who only shrugged her shoulders.“What do we call that personality?” Zoe asked, forcing a chuckle out of her. She really might start to like Mia.“That is the what you have to deal with personality.” Mia replied, before walking out the door.Zoe shook her head, still confused at Avery’s reaction to her. She angrily took the stairs and pushed open the door of their room, not minding if he was naked or not. Thankfully, he wasn’t. He stood by the bedside, searching for something in the drawer of the bedside table.“Don’t you have anyth

Avery sat at his desk the next morning, his chair facing the window and backing the door of the office. He had hurriedly left the house just so he didn’t have to speak to Zoe. Last night was weird enough and he was tired of having weird moments with her.She was scared of him and didn’t want him near her. Yes, he understood why she would be, but the fact that it affected him pissed him off. He never used to care what anyone thought of him. When he had married her, he wasn’t expecting to be emotionally attached to her. Not this fast at least.Maybe sleeping in the same bedroom was too much. Maybe it was time they had their different spaces. For him, it would stop all emotional attachments and for her, it would keep her safe.From himself.The door to his office opened and he turned his chair to see Aaron stroll casually into the office, an annoyed look on his face. Avery smiled. He was having a bad day already and it wasn’t even noon yet. That actually made him feel good.“Fire her.” A

‘Avery Trent set to marry actress Jasmine Rodriguez’ Zoe stared at the television, mouth agape. Her husband was on the screen, dressed in suit kissing a woman that wasn’t her. Not that they had shared a kiss before, aside the meaningless one in the elevator the first day. But what the hell was that headline? Did Avery plan to marry another woman that wasn’t her? She remembered the name Jasmine had been said during her first meeting with his family but Avery said he had broken up with her already. Zoe shook her head and was about to turn off the television when the sound of feet coming her way took her attention. She turned to see Mia dressed in a very short dress, walk into the sitting room. For someone tall and slender, she does know how to wear ridiculously small clothes. Zoe turned fully to give her attention and Mia’s eyes flew to the television. “Ohh.” She exclaimed. “Looks like you will be getting a co-wife.” Then she looked at her, wearing a funny look. “I hope you have no

Zoe was having dinner, taking in all she had learnt from Aaron. She heard Avery speaking to one of the maids and glanced at the clock to see the time, before going ahead to place a spoonful of rice in her mouth. She waited, wondering if he was going to join her at the table or avoid her like he was doing. When he appeared by the door, she turned to see him leaning on the wall with folded hands. His suit was gone, leaving just his shirt tucked out of the trouser he wore and two of the top buttons undone. “Fancy seeing you here.” Zoe said, trying to start a conversation. He surprised her by smiling and she wished nothing but to have him close to her. “Are you joining me or what?” He lifted an eyebrow and tilted his head slightly. “I wouldn’t want to assume you wanted company.” Zoe sighed. It was her fault that he was trying to give her space, but she found herself wanting to scream at the top of her lungs. He really didn’t need many personalities. Being Avery alone was enough. Someti

The sound of glass breaking got Avery’s attention and he followed the sound to find Zoe shaking in fear and a red colored stain on her dress.“Zoe?” He called, walking closer to her. The maids were there too, blocking his view from what might have caused her to scream. He only saw what it was when he got closer.She turned to look at him, still fidgeting. His eyes caught the broken glass and the doll head lying on the ground. Her dress was stained in what he realized to be fake blood and he moved closer to hold her shoulder.“Are you okay?” He asked, trying not to frighten her.“Someone sent this.” She said to him, gaining her voice back as she tried to remain calm. He took the note she stretched to him and read the content. Then his gaze travelled to the mess on the ground. “What does it mean, Avery?”He shook his head immediately, leading her away and then signaled to the maids to clean up the area.“I don’t know.” He replied as they turned away. “We will have to send it to the poli

Avery went over to Zoe, leading her out of the library. He didn’t want to say things that would frighten her. She had enough on her plate already dealing with the fact that she married a contemplated person, what would she do if he told her his brother’s exciting life might be the reason for the trouble?She didn’t deserve that. She didn’t deserve any of that.“The detectives think it might have been delivered to the wrong house.” He said when they were alone in the bedroom. “I told you there was nothing to worry about.”She stared at him and he wished she would let the topic go immediately. He had a lot of things to deal with at the moment.“Are you sure?” She asked, with a look of uncertainty on her face. He knew she had doubts, but the best thing to do was to keep her in the dark.“I am sure, Zoe. Now calm down and I will be back.”He picked up a file from the drawer and walked out of the room. She didn’t follow him and he was grateful for that. Jacob awaited him in his car and the

Avery walked into the house, ignoring every living thing that came his way. He had no idea if he was still pissed with the present he received or because of his visit to Jasmine’s house.She had called him crazy to his face, that was a tough pill to swallow.“Avery?” He ignored Mia’s call and walked straight to the main house and his anger knew no bounds as soon as he set his eyes on Aaron. His brother sat with their mother, talking and laughing and that did it. Avery walked to him and without warning, lifted him by the collar and off the couch.“Avery, what the hell?” His mother exclaimed, standing from where she sat to intervene.“I received a very beautiful package today, Aaron.” Avery said, ignoring his brother. “Was that you?”“Why would I send you a death threat?” Aaron asked him.“That is not the issue.” Avery replied. “I want to know what you did that got me a death threat.”Aaron scoffed and forcefully pushed Avery away from him. “I did nothing wrong, mister. Why in the world
The Billionaire's Bride Chapter 20
Zoe noticed the change in demeanor as soon as they ended the kiss. There was an amused look on Avery’s eyes when he looked at her and to her surprise, he burst into an uncontrollable laughter.What in the world!He had kissed her and allowed her swoon over the kiss and now his reaction was to laugh at her? Was she a joke to him? She remained calm, allowing him to relish in whatever was amusing to him before she allowed her mind to focus.No. this wasn’t Avery. He wouldn’t act like a maniac towards her, his pride was too huge for him to do that.“Sorry.” He hiccupped finally in between laughs. “It was just the look on your face after the kiss that amused me. Why do people look that way when kissing? It’s disgusting.”He stood on his feet immediately and removed his white pants, leaving just his underwear on. She made to look away but found herself staring at him.“Avery chooses weird moments to kiss someone, I mean who in God’s name kisses on the floor when there is a very large bed ne
