Boundaries and Betrayal
"Stephanie? Oh," David said, his voice trailing off.
"I was worried sick about you, David," Avery retorted sharply."You were worried, or you were... jealous?" He teased, a mischievous spark in his eyes as he held her gaze."What? Get away from me," she protested, shoving at his shoulders, but his grip on her waist was unyielding."Do you think this is some kind of joke? We're in this together, David. You can't just disappear without a word. Your phone was off, and then you return, drunk, trying to kiss me as if nothing's wrong... without my consent! Are you trying to gaslight me or something?" Avery's voice was firm, her eyes fiery, and she found herself gasping for air, her emotions running high.David just remained silent, his thumb grazing her lower lip."Aren't you going to say anything?" She scoffed.Catching him off guard, she pushed him away forcefully."It's barely been a month, and I'm already exhausted. ERelated chapters

Avery's breath caught, her eyes darting between David and Stephanie as the scene before her became a chaotic blur. Confusion and disbelief wrestled for dominance as she struggled to make sense of the situation. David's gaze met hers, a storm of emotions churning in his eyes. "It's not what it looks like," he pleaded, his voice strained with urgency.But the words were lost amidst the pounding in Avery's ears, the hurt in her chest blossoming into an unbearable ache. She stumbled backward, her hand clutching at the fabric over her heart as if to stem the pain. "Avery!" David's voice was distant now, muffled by the rush of blood in her head.The room spun, and the faces around her morphed into indistinct shapes. Avery's knees buckled, and she crumpled to the floor, the darkness closing in around her. The last thing she heard was the sound of chairs scraping and voices calling her name before she succumbed to the darkness.*
The Outsider's Vows Avery Is Pregnant
David's confusion was written all over his face. "Sir, please believe me. I didn't have an affair. I was drunk and don't know how I ended up in that room." Michael's gaze softened slightly, but his resolve remained firm."You've broken my trust, David. Avery may not be your love match, but she's your wife and deserves respect. She's been through a lot in this house, and I couldn't do much to help. Now, she's in another man's house, and I'll do everything in my power to ensure she's respected and doesn't get hurt.""Please, let me make amends. I'll do whatever it takes to earn back your trust and Avery's. I have to speak with Avery."Michael sighed. "I've been looking for a reason to end your marriage and set my daughter free. I'm sorry, David. I'm not going back on my decision. Please leave my house. Simon is already working on the divorce with my lawyer."David pleaded, his voice cracking. "Let me just talk to Aver
The Outsider's Vows Who Is The Father?
Emma's face contorted in disbelief. "What? She's really pregnant? She doesn't even look pregnant! How can this be?" she exclaimed, her voice stern and accusatory. "You're running the test again. I demand it!"Avery's eyebrows shot up in realization, her expression a mix of shock and indignation. "So, you actually brought me here to conduct a pregnancy test without my consent and not even for my genotype? Wow, Emma, you're really something else!" Avery stood up, her voice firm."How dare you talk to me like that?" Emma fumed, her face reddening with anger."I and David are having a baby because we're married and want to start our own family. Deal with it, Emma," Avery said and she stormed out of the office.Emma's face twitched in anger, her eyes blazing with fury. "What? Did she just give me a lecture and call me by my first name?" she muttered to herself, still seething.Meanwhile, Avery's legs shook as she staggered out o

Avery's face flushed with anger and embarrassment, her grip on the box tightening. "Is this some kind of joke to you?" she demanded, her voice trembling.David's expression turned apologetic. "No, Avery, I'm sorry. Let's talk. You're pregnant? So, we're going to be parents?" He pouted, then chuckled again, which only irritated Avery further."Can you be serious? What's funny here?" she asked, her irritation evident.David's grin faltered, and he held up his hands in a calming gesture. "Okay, okay. I'll be serious now. Explain everything to me carefully. I'll listen."Avery recounted the test results and swore she hadn't had sex since their marriage. David listened intently, his expression turning thoughtful."You haven't slept with another guy since we got married? Then explain your pregnancy, girl," he said, his tone jovial, which bothered Avery.She glared at him. "What exactly is funny? You don't seem to grasp the seriousness of this situation. I'm done talking to you."As she

The priest's voice reverberated throughout the enchanting wedding venue, where everyone in attendance eagerly anticipated David's response.David gazed intently into Avery's eyes. He drew a deep breath, his vow exiting his lips. "I, David Park, wholeheartedly and sincerely choose Avery Downs to be my lifelong companion, my dearest friend, and my equal in every facet of life. As we embark on this journey together, I commit to nurturing and cherishing her with an abundance of love and profound admiration. Respect will be the cornerstone of our relationship, as I h
The Outsider's Vows The unexpected call
"A favor? Let's hear it then," Avery said, leaning in closer to Tiffany.Tiffany hesitated for a moment before finally gathering the courage to speak. "Um... could you please lend me some money? The bills are starting to suffocate me. I need to invest more in my business, and my three younger siblings have educational expenses that need to be taken care of. On top of that, my mom needs to seek treatment abroad. I know it's uncomfortable to ask the person I love for money, and I don't want it to strain our relationship, but I really need your help, Avery..." Tiffany trailed off as Avery surprised her with a kiss. "I'm a little disappointed, Tiffs," Avery admitted softly.Tiffany's heart sank, fearing she had pushed Avery away. "I'm sorry, Avery. It's okay if you don't want to lend me the money. It won't change how I feel about you," Tiffany quickly responded, brushing away her tears.Avery took Tiffany's hands in hers. "No, that's not what I meant. I'm disappointed that you asked
The Outsider's Vows You're a loser!
"Why are you late?" Mrs. Downs asked, her tone edged with irritation as Avery entered the dining room.Avery shrugged indifferently, replying, "I made it here eventually, didn't I? Isn't that what matters?""Good evening, Daddy," Avery greeted her father, intentionally ignoring the rest of her family, including her mother.Her father beamed happily at her and asked, "How are you, my girl?"Avery sighed."I was fine, but being here now doesn't make me feel that way anymore," she admitted.Her father's smile faltered slightly."My poor baby. Have a seat. You can eat and leave soon, alright?" he offered, trying to provide comfort. Mrs. Downs couldn't help but scoff at the "father-daughter" display of affection.Unable to resist the urge to provoke her, Avery's younger brother, Robert, lashed out at her. "Upon being late, you still couldn't even choose a proper outfit. What the heck are you wearing?" he jeered.Avery was wearing a black cargo pant, white t-shirt, and black flats. "Unc
The Outsider's Vows Mom was right
Avery stood up, her arms already halfway extended in anticipation of a hug. But Tiffany raised a hand, refusing the embrace."Hey, we're in public. We can't hug here," Tiffany said.Avery's smile faltered slightly, her disappointment flickering across her face. "But girls hug in public all the time," she replied, attempting to conceal her hurt."I know I'm not just any girl to you, and I know it isn't going to be a regular hug. Let's save it for when we're alone, okay?" Tiffany suggested, motioning towards the empty seat across from Avery. With a slightly deflated sigh, Avery settled into the seat opposite Tiffany and watched as Tiffany ordered a drink."So, how was your day? How did you spend it?" Tiffany took a moment to consider before replying, "Oh, I was at home all day. Although, I did visit my mom at the hospital. How about you?"A wave of sadness enveloped Avery upon hearing Tiffany's response. It was as if her heart had been pierced and shattered into a million fragments.
