“Oh, come on, power interruptions happen all the time. Even here in the company, we have had numerous cases of power interruption.”Jacob said as he walked closely behind Avery to his office. Avery nodded his head, agreeing with his personal assistant even though a large part of him had a lot of doubts.As they opened the door to his desk, Charlotte stood from her seat, bowing to Avery who completely ignored her. He pushed the door to his personal office open and admitted himself and Jacob inside.“What are my schedules for this month? I think it is time I take my family out on a vacation.” Avery said, taking his chair at his desk and swirling it around. Jacob gave him a rough look as he dropped a tablet on his table, his tall build complimenting the navy-colored suit he had on.“You do not need a vacation, Avery.” Jacob said to him.“As a matter of fact, I do.” Avery replied. “Mia and Zoe are losing their minds because of our current situation and I do not want to be the guy who take

The week went by quietly and smoothly for the Trents. They had managed to put off the breaking in incident behind them and were now living their lives as they were supposed to. Avery opened the door of the dressing room in the evening of Wednesday to see Zoe sitting by the mirror, allowing the makeup artist to do his magic on her with her eyes closed. He walked over, smiled at the artist before placing a kiss on Zoe’s already made hair, breathing in the scent of her vanilla flavored shampoo in the process.“Look who is back.” Zoe said, a smile spreading across her face.Things have been very good between them. The more they lived together, the more he fell in love with her. Although she hasn’t totally confessed her feelings for him, he sure knew she felt the same way about him. He was becoming softer by the day and his personalities have given him some peace by not coming out for the past week, allowing him live his life.“Are you dressed?” Zoe asked, her eyes still closed while the m

Avery stood perfectly still watching his mother’s body being wheeled out from the house. There were red and blue siren lights flashing round the building and if no one stopped the sounds of the siren, he was going to dismantle the ambulances with his bare hands.God, his mother was dead. She was gone and it was all because of his recklessness. Zoe warned him, Mia had warned him but he had only thought them as being hysterical because they were women.And now, look what that had gotten him.He leaned by the wall outside the house, still looking at the body the police officers were asking him to identity. There was no way in the world he was going to identify that his mother was dead.“Mr. Trent. We know this is a difficult time but before we take her away, is this your mother?” They asked him but he couldn’t bring himself to answer the question.“Mr. Trent?”“Yes, she is the one.” Zoe replied, adjusting the white shawl she used to cover her shoulders as she came closer. She watched Ave

Zoe and the rest of the Trent family walked into the vacation home in France with so much bad air between them all. Mia was still not speaking to anyone and neither was Avery. He only spoke to her when he felt he needed to. The burial ceremony had been just a family affair but that had not stopped the reporters from being there and intruding as usual. Felicity’s pictures were still splashed over the news, accompanied with some really weird speculations about her death.None of them had spoken to the media because they didn’t want anyone to know that prior to Felicity’s death, they had been receiving death threats. It would make people question them. So, they had been quiet, spoken to the detectives for leads and kept themselves locked inside the house. Even today, they all left at dawn to avoid more cameras in their faces.Zoe wasn’t sure she liked the way things were in their lives now, but she wasn’t going to complain. She understood that they were not only grieving, but blaming the

Zoe badged into Mia’s room the next morning having enough of her nonsense. She walked to the side of her bed and pulled off the blanket off her body.“What in the hell!” Mia exclaimed in a loud voice, not minding the fact that the culprit had been Zoe. Without paying much attention to her, Zoe went into her wardrobe and searched for a decent wear for her.“What are you doing, Zoe?” Mia asked with disbelief, her gaze following Zoe wherever she went.“I am bringing you back to life, young lady and you are not going to complain.” She answered.After searching her bag and getting a pretty yellow flowery top and a jean pants to go with it, she bent down to search for shoes.“You are not my mother, you know.” Mia said, not moving an inch from the bed. When Zoe had pulled out a pair of sneakers, she felt was reasonable with the outfit, she headed back to the bed.“No, I am not.” She replied. “Your mother is dead. Get used to it.”Mia gasped quietly, a hurt look on her face but Zoe wasn’t hav
