Running to the office, she knocked at the door. An abrupt surge of intense fear took place in her heart as she waited for the door to be opened."Apo... Mr Wyatt? Mr Wyatt? Please open the door!" Avery hit on the door. Noah waiting behind her was panicked as well, he sounded worried as he said, "We had a meeting after lunch so I came to tell him about it. But he didn't open the door. I kept knocking and... And he didn't open the door. I am so tensed..."'Apollo. What happened to him?'"Mr Wyatt, please open the door!"They both glared at each other as for the second time, no response came inside the office. "Go and call the..."Suddenly the door shot open, and a strong arm grabbed her wrist and pulled her inside within a minute. Noah, dumbfounded stared at the door with open mouth as the door was shut off on his face, he was left alone outside wondering what was going on. "Boss..."Inside the room, Avery found herself standing against the wall and Apollo standing before her, so clo
1 amThe time was passing quite quickly, the clock making a ticking sound once in a while. Apollo stretched out his arms and turned the lid of the laptop down.'There's no water in the room. I have to go to the kitchen.' Suddenly he stopped on his track as his eyes got a glimpse of the figure that was lying on the sofa in a weird position. There was no one around, he glared at the wall clock and then back at the figure.'Who's it?' Apollo nonchalantly walked to the sofa just to be surprised. He let out an annoying sigh and then rubbed his forehead. 'What sleeping posture is this?'Avery had her legs flying on the top of the sofa when her head was resting against the pillow on the table. Some sorts of papers with pens and some materials were messily on the table and the floor."Get up!" He uttered.Avery deep in sleep answered him with no words but silence. He bobbed his head in annoyance and moved all the materials to one side of the table. How much he hated messy people and here, h
The glass elevator was going down, and all the lights on the floors one by one turned off. As Apollo walked out of the elevator the lights on the floor turned on."It's 7:25 pm."Taking a gaze at his wristwatch he walked in the direction that lead to the office kitchen.The lights were constantly going on and off. Avery looked around, checking for the first-aid kit. 'I don't know why the lights are going on and off...' Though she washed her finger that got a cut a while ago, it was still bleeding and hurting.Upon seeing the first-aid kit, she stood high on her toes to get it. Crack!Suddenly everywhere darkness took place as the lights were gone. Avery could barely see things around."Shit! Why the lights went off at this time?" Putting the first-aid kit down, she started wandering around for the candle. Since she was new here, she didn't know exactly where things were kept.Avery wanted to try a new dish, she was cutting the vegetables that's when she cut her finger. Since she wa
"Mr Wyatt, we have found out the will of Miss Knight's grandmother. But there's some problem. We know where is it kept but it's hard to get it."A voice from the other side of the call reported so. Apollo walking downstairs, let out, "Find it first. None should get their hands on it before us.""Yes, sir."It was past midnight. Apollo used to work in a different timezone in foreign so he was used to that timing.Letting out a sigh of relief Apollo kneaded the middle of his forehead. He walked towards the settee to take a seat but the moment he reached the settee he was taken back.He gaped at Avery with pure annoyance in his eyes.'She is doing it again.'Avery made dinner, and they had it peacefully so he thought he would let her go one time but her repeated behaviour was irritating him now.Just like the other night, things were scattered here and there. The difference tonight was... There was a packet of snacks on the table too. 'She is not going to change, I need to make it clear
"This way, please!" Avery followed the manager. After work, the driver took her here. Since she was going to the event with Apollo. Though Noah didn't tell her what the event was about or where exactly they were going. "These are newly out clothes. We hope you will like them, Mrs Wyatt." The manager smiled at her and gestured for her to take a look around. 'The dresses are so beautiful, I can't decide which one to take... And they are super expensive...' After looking around she stood in one place in a dilemma. The price tag on the dresses she saw was making her think twice before she could touch a certain one among the rest. "Don't you like them? Mrs Wyatt." The manager asked her. Avery smiled cheekily and bit her lips. She took a look around and mumbled under her breath, 'Noah said I have an hour. And I must choose a dress from here. It's not like I don't like them... Fine, I will choose the less expensive one then.' She walked around again. When she was checking on the price
"Daddy, sister didn't come back home. I have been sick worried for her these past few days, look at her. She is wearing such a dress, I'm afraid she might have..." Jennifer groaned while looking at Paul with watery eyes.Since the day, Avery came to live with them Jennifer hated her. For some reason, the very sight of her always made Jennifer feel irritated.Everyone glared at her as if she did some dirty. Paul grabbed Avery's hand and asked, "You have been missing after your divorce. What the hell did you do after that?"Georgia smirked at her daughter and voiced in a pretentious tone, "She is still young. I am afraid she found a sugar daddy for herself..."Avery felt nothing but disgusted, she remained silent and tried to get away from Paul's grip. "Let go!""Is what your mother saying true? Did you really...""I said let go!""She is silent which means she has...""What imprudent thing you have done! Why do I have a shameless girl like you!" Paul furrowed his eyebrows in rage.Ave
Holding her in his arms, Apollo kicked the door shut by his leg. He gently put her down the bed, taking off her shoes without making a sound Apollo sat next to her. He caressed her face and kept staring at her face.It was indeed him who arranged for her to meet the Knight family, he was as serious as always until he saw her sad. Apollo also was surprised at his own behaviour, he never thought of telling the whole world that Avery was his girlfriend.'I don't know why did I do that but I will protect you like I promised.'Pulling the bedcover over her he let out a sigh.As he stood up to leave, Avery grabbed his hand. Apollo, halted turned towards her and saw her lying on the bed but holding his hand. For a moment, he was nervous. Apollo looked away from her and remained silent.'She just woke up right?'"Uhmm, I have a question. It's not like a question though I mean I just... I just can't figure out the reason." She asserted sounding confused. Back at the party, she the least expec
'Some years backA day in school was supposed to be the best day of my life, but it turned into the worst one for me. I can never forget it, no matter how hard I try, I just can't...'Click!"Uhmm, is something wrong with the food?" Suddenly her voice pulled him into reality. She has been the one talking when he was in a daze. Apollo looked at Avery with anguish in his eyes.Did she see it wrong? A part of her heart wanted to ask him when the other one didn't.* ECHOING WORDS *"I'M LEAVING BUT HERE'S A REMINDER FOR YOU. YOU KNOW HOW YOU ARE! JUST LIKE DAD ONCE LEFT YOU AND YOUR MOTHER, AVERY WILL ALSO LEAVE YOU. YOU BRING NOTHING BUT BAD LUCK AND MISERY! TAKE YOUR MOM FOR INSTANCE, HAVING A SON LIKE YOU IS A NIGHTMARE FOR HER.""Mr Wyatt?" Avery hit on the table gently, he seemed so lost today.Instead of answering her, grabbing his suit he just walked out of his office and she followed after him."Mr Wyatt, wait. Mr... Did I do something wrong? He just left like that..." Standing a
