Becky went to her room, she changed her clothes and quickly ruffle her blonde hair to look helpless. She sat on her bed and called James. While she was calling him, she hoped he'd pick up and after a long ring, he finally picked but he didn't say a word. H-hello it's me Becky. Your fiancee. Becky said softly but her voice broke. I know was his calm response. The silence kept dragging on until he spoke again. Why didn't you call since? He asked with a calm voice. I love you James. I really love you so much and I am deeply sorry for rejecting your proposal. I thought you were playing with my emotions. Becky said everything at once. She was scared and worried. She didn't want to lose him. No she can't. She could remember that day a voice had spoken to her telling her that ,"She is back to take what belongs to her". Since the day she heard that voice, she had made up her mind not to leave James at all cost. Especially now that he is married to that girl Avery.
After what seems like forever silence. James sigh and the next word he said shock Becky. Your mum called me explaining to me how stress and sick you have become cause of your work. She told me that you are emotionally stressed out. So why not come and stay in my house. James said surprising Becky. She couldn't believe her ears. The man whom she had rejected his proposal was right there telling her to come stay in his mansion. Tears of joy was an understatement at that moment. She can't help love her new mother the more. Uhm , James you know I love you so much. But your contracted wife, hope she won't.....
She won't dare do anything to you. James cut her off. Becky said okay and with that the call ended.
Mrs will came in with a tray of food and placed it on the bedside table for Becky. Mum I love you!! Becky said as she hugged her mother. Anything for you my love. Her mum smiled back. They pulled out and sat on the bed. First thing tomorrow morning mum, I will be at James house. Becky said excitedly. Good girl and make sure you get his attention 24/7. Don't let his attention be on that girl. Her mum advised. Sure mum. Becky said and ate her food. While her mum left her alone to prepare for tomorrow. Becky smiled after eating, she can't believe that James still loves her. She thought happily and she will do everything in her power to eliminate that Avery of a girl. She thought. Later that night, Avery woke up from her long sleep. She groaned softly, it felt so good to sleep again and especially peacefully without any disturbance. Avery smiled and stretched her arms widely as she yawns softly.
She got down from the bed and wore her pink fluffy slippers. She packed her black wavy hair into a bun as she strode out of the room to look for something to eat. She went downstairs.
On getting downstairs, she went straight to the dinning hall to eat but it was empty. She sighs. It seems like everyone listen to the boss. She thought and went to the kitchen to cook something to eat. She entered the kitchen and made some pancakes. After making it, she placed it on her plate and went back to the dinning room to eat. As she was eating, She felt a strong presence. An intimidating one at that. She paused her eating and turned to look at the person but the person came into view and it was none other than her husband James. He was emitting such a dangerous aura so terribly frightening. What happened? Avery asked ignoring the chills that ran down her spine. But James ignored her and snapped his finger and a maid came in head bow. You are now my wife. You are not just an ordinary man wife but a popular one at that. How many times will I tell you that you are now a wife of a billionaire. A powerful one at that. He said with a serious gaze as he stare at her.
Uhm, I don't understand what you are trying to say. Avery said innocently. What I mean is I don't want you in that kitchen anymore. Anything you need , just summon the maids or the butler. He said with an authoritative voice. And why is that? Avery asked back. Why do you like riling me up. ? What the f*CK is your problem?? I gave an order and you are asking me why? Are you fine at All??? He said dangerously emitting his dangerous aura once again. Avery gulped nervously and she suddenly lost her appetite to eat. I- I am sorry but I don't think you can control me. Avery said calmly and confidently. She stood up and walked away. She was so damn tired of all this. Why? Why does James keep making her feel like a stranger. Why?? She thought as a new wave of tears began to fall from her eyes. Maybe once tomorrow comes, she will escape. She thought as she used the elevator to go upstairs. Since the past three weeks that she have been staying in James mansion, she never liked using the elevator cause she was scared. But today was an exception, she used the elevator to reach her room and slammed the door hard. She sat behind the door as tears began to rolled down her cheeks. She was broken again. If she continue like this, she might end up dying. She thought. Maybe the first thing she needs to do is to escape. Then she will come pick her father. She thought as more tears rolled down her cheeks. After crying for so long, Avery went to the bathroom and filled the bathtub with cold water. She slowly took off her clothes except for her underwear. She slid inside the bathtub as the cold water seeped through her skin. She closed her eyes to block herself from reality for a short while.
After a long time, she came out tying a towel. She wore her pyjamas and lay on the bed lost in thought. After a long while, she drifted to sleep. The next morning the sun was shining brightly in the sky. Avery woke up and as usual got ready for the day while the maids came to change the bedsheets. Avery wore a yellow outfit. She brushed her hair and let it down. She applied small lipgloss before picking her purse and left the room. She went downstairs. Good morning my lady. One of the maids greeted head bow. Are you heading out ? The maid asked. Yes. I am going to the hospital get the car ready for me. She said and the maid nodded and left. After a while,the car was ready and Avery entered while the chaffeuer drove off. While the car was speeding like a bullet, Avery was brooding. How will her father be ? Will he be responding to treatment? Or did his sickness worsen. She thought heavily. Her heart was beating faster and faster that she felt like it was going to burst. And after a long while of driving,they finally reached the hospital. Avery got down and rushed in to see the doctor. Doctor, how is my father? She asked with trembling voice. Don't worry ma'am he is responding to treatment. But .....
The doctor paused. But what doc? She asked panicked. His heart beat is slowly dying. Like his heart is not breathing fast just little. The doctor said calmly and Avery was so shocked her brain couldn't believe her what she was hearing. W-why did you now say he is responding to treatment? Why? Why? She said crying again. Don't worry ma'am we will try our best to save him. But the money will cost a lot. The doctor explained. Uhm, like how much? Avery asked bitting her lips hardly. A million. He said and Avery froze in shock. W-w-what ? She stammered and the doctor nodded. Avery took in a deep breath as she cleaned the remaining tears streaming down her eyes. She took in another deep breath. Alright then, can I see him? She asked. Am sorry ma'am but you can't see him now he is underobservation. The doctor said calmly and Avery just nodded. She picked her purse and left the hospital. She entered the car and told the driver to her Lily house. While she directs him. She was in turmoil in the inside. She wish everything could be over.
Meanwhile, Becky packed just a little clothes. She also ruffles her blonde hair more to look more sick. Her mum came inside looking pleased. Now, make sure you do all I have told you. Her mum said and Becky nodded shyly. After the mother and daughter talk, Becky ordered a cab instead of using her car to James mansion and after a long while of driving, they finally reached his gigantic magnificent mansion painted in white. Becky paid the cab man and went inside the house. She push opened the white marble double doors as it opened. She stepped inside one at a time. She smiled as she couldn't believe that she was finally near James and she will do everything in her power to get his attention. She smirk triumphantly.
