View MoreAvery’s povIgnoring the little voice nagging me inside I collected the phone from her grasp uttering a quick thank you before leaving. She watched me walk away without uttering a single word and though I couldn’t guess what was on her mind I knew there was no way she’d sell me out.I was initially going to ask Peter for help but I’m glad things turned out this way, honestly I don’t really trust him. There seems to be some wrong with his behavior, though I don’t know what it is I don’t dare sit back and wait for him to reveal himself.Confused on where to go I settled for a cheap motel down town. Although this was not a clean place for my children, I knew Cameron wouldn’t find me here.The building was old and tattered, as I walked into the building there was a strong smell of cigarette, on getting inside I realized the cashier who could be seen to be a middle aged woman was actually the one smoking.I didn’t expect her to quench her cigarette the moment she saw me but she did and I w
Avery’s pov I could feel him watching from the door, I intentionally left it open so I can be aware of whoever walks by. I had to observe my surroundings carefully if I intend to make a smooth escape, yes you heard me right.From the moment I laid eyes on him at the restaurant I knew something wasn’t right, I had a strange urge to run far from him but it also seemed like I would be leaving something behind. In the end I got to find out about our children together, I must’ve been craving for them subconsciously. So I devised a plan, first to let him drop his guards and sneak out when he least expects.But he was watching me carefully like a hawk, just then I heard voices behind the door. The other person was a female judging from her tone, I was curious about her identity. Was she perhaps another side chick of his?The thought caused a stabbing pain in my chest but I didn’t have the time to mull over that, soon the voices were no more. I tip toed to the door, poking my head out. Came
I don’t remember what happened last night, I think I went to a club, got wasted and staggered back to my room. My head is aching seriously as I try to pry my eyes open. A sharp knock on the door knocks me sober, I hesitantly get out of bed, trailing to the door with a groan.The door falls open and I’m shocked to find Helen standing there, my lips go up in disapproval. “What are you doing here?”She ignores my question forcing her way in, I decide to let her be and close the door shut. Helen takes a seat on the bed, crossing her legs as she looks around the room. “I can’t believe this is what you have been reduced to.”“Are you here to mock me?” I question.I know rumors about me have been circulating around, seeing as my company has suffered a huge blow and my wife is nowhere to be seen with my kids. But I tell myself not to let it get to me, locating Avery is my priority right now. “Relax.” She laughs, “I’m here to help you, you know I’ll never leave you to suffer alone.”“Go stra
Cameron’s pov I haven’t slept in days, searching all over for Avery yet she is nowhere to be found. I’ve exhausted all my options, where could she possibly be? I wrack my brain for answers, however none comes to mind. I even went to Peter’s home, barged my way through, and turned everything inside out but my dear Avery did not pop out of a corner like I was hoping. How could she elope with our children in the blink of an eye?True, I sensed a change in her behavior but I never thought she would go this far.A part of me wants to be upset but deep down I know I have no right to, right now I just sang them to be safe and sound.At least they’re free from Colton now, but what if he finds them before I do? I can’t let my guard down even for a minute so I continue my search, even though the road ahead looks bleak.It starts pouring heavily making it impossible for me to drive further, as if to make matters worse my tyre gets stuck in a ditch,I reach for my cellphone only to find it de
Cameron pov Finally, Cecilia cleared from our path satisfied with my promise, little did she know I had no intention to honor it. Avery remained calm behind me and this upset me more than I showed it, in the past we would’ve exchanged a few words but now she seemed way too calm, unconcerned about the matters that concerned me. “Where did you find her?” Mom appeared looking worried, but then quickly readjusted her composure facing Avery with a harsh look.“You,” her tone was the complete opposite of the one she used earlier, “where have you been?”Avery looked dumbfounded, “she’s my mother.” I quickly whispered to ease her tension. “I’m sorry but I don’t remember.” She faced mom with a smile, “I think I got into an accident while running an errand.”Mom gasped utterly shocked, I could see in her eyes that she worried about her safety, but she did not dare show it openly. Just then a babies cry reached my ears. “That must mine!” She exclaimed running forward but soon came to stop lo
She had a creepy smile on her face, this made his heartbeat even faster. But Avery kept her eyes fixed on Cameron, tapping her fingers impatiently. “You haven’t answered me.” Her voice had a deep undertone.“She’s my ex-girlfriend!” He admitted with a sigh.“And why were you together?”The young man was rendered speechless once more, “we had business to take care of.” He finally said after a long pause, his face was hard as a rock. “What’s that paper in your hand, you’ve been holding it for a while now.” It was the divorce papers, he immediately became tensed trying to hide the contents but squeezing a little harder but it was too late as she had already taken a peek earlier. “You don’t have to worry about that.” He rolled it into a ball and threw it out the window.“Correct me if I’m mistaken but we are married?” He nodded in response, “do we have children together.”“Yes,” he smiled, “two of them.”Pausing for a moment, she cast her gaze outside the window whispering to herself.
Cameron’s povThere was a strange silence in the air, although I wanted to explain to her I couldn’t find the right words to say. How exactly do I explain? Where do I start from? Peter took that as cue, stepping forward with confidence he spoke, “I’m sorry I kept this hidden from you, actually I’ve always wanted to tell you. But I didn’t know where to begin from.” Instantly I knew he was about to spin a web of lies, but Avery looked expectant, eager to hear what he had to say while I couldn’t even get my lips to move staring at her like a dummy!“He is indeed your husband, yes you are married but before you start to rejoice I want you to know that he not as he appears to be at all, Cameron is cruel and heartless and he has caused you many sleepless nights, you both were at the verge of divorcing before you lost your memories.”I gripped his tie in a sudden move yelling, “shut the hell up, you know nothing!” He was just an outsider, how could he ever know the things that happened betwe
“So this is where you are and I’ve been looking all over!” I shouted causing her neck to snap my way, I watched her eyes open in shock but then it soon transformed into confusion, she parted her lips to speak but then Peter stepped in front covering her completely from my view. He wore a sinister smile that let me know he was up to no good.“Why are you here making a scene, don’t you think it’s improper?” He spoke.Looking around, I could see people whispering in hushed tones while staring at us but I couldn’t be bothered about that. The sight of their two together upset me greatly, what got to me more is that she just sat down there like as if she had no idea who I was. “I’m not talking to you.” I hissed, “step out of the way so I can speak with my wife.” After all, we were not officially divorced yet, and Cecilia was right about one thing. I’m indeed stalling time while looking for ways to rectify the situation because I truly cannot bear to part with her. I know for sure that in t
Cameron’s pov It’s been a week since Avery got missing, although I appear to be fine on the outside, I can’t lie it’s starting to get to me. I can’t even focus on anything, she is all I can think of. I keep praying for her to be safe, if truly something bad has happened, I won’t forgive myself because it’s clear that I’m the one who drove her out. I regret my words and actions now, but it’s too late already. Because of Cecilia I can’t search for her openly, but that doesn’t mean I’d sit still. Unfortunately there hasn’t been any traces of her, no matter how hard I search. Avery is nowhere to be found, where could she be? “You have a call sir.”My secretary Diana interrupts causing me to look up from my desk in a sudden, trailing my eyes to the telephone on the table I see it vibrating, I didn’t even realize it was ringing. Grabbing the phone off the table, I bring it close to my ear breathing a soft hello into the speakers. “Now you know how to pick my calls.” Cecilia’s angry ton
