James walked towards the family with an all intimidating gaze and aura. He walked towards Avery as he asked once again. What's going on here?? His eyes still fixated on Avery. Uhm well, it's olive. She said that she hates Avery and doesn't want her near her. Nina finally said but James smirked. So that is the reason for all the ruckus: now listen, the announcement mother wants to make is I and Avery will be getting married. James said coldly as he dragged Avery out of the mansion. Every one were shocked by what James said. Especially olive. She was so shocked to her bones as she angrily left the dinning room. Nina was not surprised but she ended up being happy. Finally, Avery will do a white real wedding with James. Mom, when should we start making preparations? Nina asked happily. We can start now. Mrs Smith said and Nina jumped for joy.
Meanwhile in the bullet moving car ,James was driving like a maniac while Avery held her breath. She couldn't believe what she heard back in the mansion. After a long time driving, the car finally stopped
And Avery finally calmed down. "Say whatever thing you wanted to say. " James spoke seriously. Avery looked at him. She was still contemplating whether or not she too ask what he meant; are they actually going to get married? Oh no, she doesn't want to get married to him. She thought. What will happen to her if she gets married? No she wanted to fall in love and marry a charming prince not some cold blooded heartless billionaire who prefers to torture her emotionally and to taunt her with his fiancee. Are you seriously not going to speak ? He said icely. Avery was pulled from her train of thoughts as she stared at James. There is nothing for me to say. Avery spoke calmly while James had an expressionless face. But----------- Avery paused. What? He asked. What position will Becky be was the thought running through her head but what left her lips was , why are we getting married?
James was taken aback a little before he had that blank look. There was a long pause of silence which increased Avery heart rate as she patiently wait for his response. But no response came. James ignored her questions and start the car as he drove off in max speed. After a long drive, they finally reached home. James parked the car in the car garage and went Inside leaving only Avery outside. Avery got down from the car when she saw that her phone was ringing. It was Nina calling. She picked the call. Hello? Avery said. Oh sweet sis, I am so happy for you. Nina yelled at the other end of the phone. Avery placed her phone at arms length before putting it back on her ear.
Why do we have to get married? You know fully well this a contract marriage. And I and James don't love each other. Avery said. She was scared ; scared of being mocked by the world. Well dearest sister in law, mother has to make it like that so that everyone in the world and new York city people will know the wife of James Smith. Nina explained. Avery took in a deep breath before finally saying "oh". Yeah my love. So from today preparations has started. Nina said calmly and Avery said ok before ending the. Call. She went inside the mansion. On getting inside, she froze on her steps. She was shocked to see Becky hugging James. Avery couldn't believe her eyes. It hadn't been up to thirty minutes before James left her in the car and here they are hugging like---- Avery felt a lump in her throat. Why was she feeling down by the sight of them. She doesn't have feelings for James and so does he. They are only together because of the debts her father owed the smiths company. She took in a sharp deep breath before walking past them using the elevator so as to avoid them to notice her. But James did and he ignored as usual.
Meanwhile, when James left Avery in the car. He was in total chaos in his mind. The words she said,"Why are we getting married?" Rang through his head like music. Yes! Why are they getting married. She is just a collateral for the one billion her father owed him. He doesn't have feelings for her so why did he want to get married to her ? He thought. He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't see another familiar car parked in front of him and got down and ran to hug him. James! Where have you been? Becky asked still hugging him. James was pulled out from his train of thoughts as he slowly hugged Becky. They kept hugging for a while now until James saw Avery. He saw her expression. The expression of jealousy was evident on her face as she walked past them. After a while , Becky let go of him. I missed you. She finally said. Where were you? I was trying to reach you. Becky said. It's okay. I am here now. He said calmly as he walked away. Becky was taken aback but she decided to ignore it. She went to her room to freshen up and decided to call olive and find out what's up with the latest news. Avery was sitting on the bed. She couldn't remove the image of James hugging Becky b. Wait, what was wrong with her? Why is she acting like a jealous submissive wife. She is just a contracted wife. A payment to the debt owed by her father. So why was she feeling broken. James doesn't even love her and so does she. She thought calmly as she lay on the bed.
James entered the room and saw Avery sleeping on the bed. He walked towards her as he covered her body with the duvet. Avery felt warm after she felt the warm duvet on her body. She closed her eyes until she felt a hot breath in her ear. She felt tingled until she heard, "stop acting jealous again. Else, I will think that you are in love with me. And you know what that means".
Avery shot her eyes opened as she stared at the dark black eyes staring at her. What? Why are you staring at me. Am I not telling the truth ? He smirked and Avery lips parted in disbelief. What was he saying? She thought before she finally opened her lips to talk. I don't love you. She said and James smirked. Good girl. He said as he left the room.
