Do you really hate me so much that my presence alone pushes you to hurt me emotionally? She asked but her voice cracked and broke.
James stared at her for a very long time before opening his mouth to talk. Hate? I don't hate you Avery but I despise the fact that you are my wife and related to my fiancee. He said heartlessly. Avery mouth hung opened as shock register all over her face. After a short while, then fine, if you hate or despise me ,why don't you kill me and forget about me for good ? Avery said Abit hurt.
I know I can't escape from you so you won't kill me but please stop hurting me with your words. She said as she finally unbottled the emotions she try tightening in her heart. She realizes that trying to bottle up her emotions will only cause an heart ache for her. She can't afford to fall into depression. Not in front of this beast looking man. She thought as silent tears began to roll down her cheeks. James hissed coldly and was about to walk away when all of a sudden Avery grabbed his wrist.
I know you won't be able to kill me because I am a payback to the one billion my father is owing ; that is why you don't give debtors money right? She said cleaning her tears. James turned to look at her and asked,
"What do you want?"
James please. She begged as tears rolled down her cheeks. James please, my father is dying. He need to undergo an heart surgery else he'd die. I don't want to lose him. He is the only one I have. She pleaded.
So what exactly do you want me to do? He asked. I need a million to pay for his surgery and I promise I will do anything you ask of me. I won't run away nor disobey your orders again. I won't....
He suddenly placed a finger on her lips to quiet her. What did I tell you before? He asked his eyes burning dangerously as he stared at her. I don't give money to debtors unless ----- He paused and held her cheeks with both of his hands. Are you sure you will do anything I asked you to do? He asked with a dark chuckle. Avery swallowed and without thinking twice, she nodded a ''yes".
Good! He said as he let go of her cheeks. You are going back to NYC tomorrow with me. He said with all form of seriousness. What of Nina? She asked calmly panicked. She couldn't believe she would ended up being with this guy and he is even taking her back home.
What the heck!!! She thought.
She is back to NYC. He replied straightforward and Avery froze. W-what??when? Why didn't you tell me? I would have followed her. Avery said hastily. Oh wow, what would you have done? If anything had happened to you two again? He asked with a deep frown. Since fedrick had brought up that issues of Avery not being safe in the smiths mansion, he had sent his most trusted men to spy on her.
He came back with some shocking information about olive plan to kidnap Avery. But he never thought Becky would stoop so low in trying to hurt Avery. Yes, he doesn't love Avery but he can't afford to let harm reach her. He knew olive and Becky will do anything to tamper with the wedding coming up in two weeks. That was why he sent Adam to watch over Avery and eliminate any danger looming over her.
Avery gasped in shock as she finally realized why Adam had shot Becky wrist. So that means, James knew. Thank you. She said. For what?he asked.
For saving me. Avery said with a little smile. James as usual ignored and walked away. Avery took in a deep breath. That means he doesn't hate her that much as he had said. Oh no , she has forgotten to ask for the money from James. She thought as she stood up drenched and entered inside the house.
Meanwhile, in Becky mansion
Becky was treating her wound. She couldn't believe that James would come to save Avery by sending one of his men and he didn't even send those his small men, he sent the most strongest one of all who is undefeatable when it comes to killing. Adam is the type of person who doesn't bat an eye in eliminating a threat, just like James he kills without mercy. But the question is,
" Why did James sent Adam to protect Avery. " Something is fishy somewhere. She thought. But wait o, is James beginning to fall for Avery? She thought and with that thought, Becky smashed the medical kit on the floor. No! She growled. That won't happen. James and Avery won't be together. There is only one way to get the family attention. She thought and with that left her room.
Avery went straight to the bathroom to have a hot steamy bath cause she was already shivering from staying out in the cold. She stayed inside the hot water for a long while her freezing body finally heating up. Once she was done, she dried her body with a towel and wore a white robe back to the room. She picked up a simple pink dress and wore it. After wearing it, she dried her hair with a dryer and left the room to go look for something to eat. On getting downstairs, she saw lots of foods in the dinning. Her mouth salivate and she rushed towards the huge dinning room to sit and eat. She ate till she was satisfied before drinking some juice.
She was about to leave the dinning when James walked in with a expressionless facade. He sat nonchalantly at the head of table staring at Avery. Avery stood up and was about leaving cause she felt awkward by his presence. Thank God he wasn't here when she was eating like a glutton. She thought and was about to leave wh n James spoke.
In two days time is our engagement party. Today you are supposed to prepare you wasted it in leaving the country. So very early tomorrow morning, you will be back to NYC. He said and Avery felt totally confused.
