Avery took a step closer to him. “A loveless marriage, you say?”Grey nodded once. “Are you satisfied now? Will you listen to me?”Avery regarded him for a moment. Different thoughts went through her mind in a sort of crazy confusion.But at least, she was able to understand where the feeling was coming from.If truly it was a loveless marriage, then her parents would definitely know about it. Until she confirms it, she won't fully trust Grey.“Yes, I will,” Avery said, with a nod. “I will do everything you want.”Grey smiled softly and the action made Avery skip a beat. It was truly love and nothing less.She just didn't understand a lot of things. In fact, she still had problems remembering a lot of things. And it felt like a part of her was missing and she was desperate to find out.“You will tell Dylan that if he wants anything, he should contact me. Tell him you don't want to have anything to do with him.”She nodded once. “I will have my secretary give you the documents so that

Avery opened the door and stepped inside. Grey was still sleeping when she moved closer.While Grey was getting treated, she went out to get some flowers and snacks.She expected Grey to be awake in a few minutes. So, he would be able to eat. She was so worried earlier. What would she do if something truly had happened to him? She might not have been able to get on with her life.Damn! She really loved him so much.She watched him for a moment, at how peaceful he looked while asleep. She released a sigh, glad at the improvement so far.She placed the flowers and the snacks on the table beside him before she walked out again.She needed to meet with the doctor to hear about Grey's condition.“Hold on, Signora!” A voice called out softly, just as the elevator door was closing.Avery stopped it in time for a young lady to enter.“Thank you so much! Signora!” She laughed. “It's so hard coming up here.”Avery managed a smile.The old woman looked up at Avery. “Do you work here or are you

“Are you sure?” Grey nodded once, with a soft smile. “Yes, I am. I will handle him. So, you just stay calm,” he responded and dialed Charles's number.Avery nodded once. “I will call him back then.”Grey nodded again. “But tell him I would like to choose the venue. If he's not agreeing with that, then I won't see him,” he muttered and looked at the phone screen only to discover Charles had picked it up.“Hi Charles,” he said into the receiver and relaxed back on the bed.“Grey, where have you been?”“Well,” he smiled softly. He would have never thought he was going to get so sick. He hadn't gotten so sick in a long time that it felt like he was immortal, immune.“I got sick Charles. In fact, I'm currently at the hospital.”“Damn! Send me the address. I will be there now,” he assured and the line went off.Grey looked at Avery and caught her staring. He smiled. “What did the doctor say is wrong with me?”“Well, I will tell you that while you eat. You haven't eaten since morning.”Grey

Charles looked at Grey, still shocked. “Don't tell me you will team up with this good-for-nothing guy? You know he's not to be trusted!”Grey nodded once and looked at him. “I know but you do trust me, right? Just trust me.”Charles regarded him for a moment and slowly released a sigh. “Alright then.”Grey looked at Dylan. “But this teamwork will not work if we don't have the evidence we can pin Giovanni down with,” he explained.“Well, Giovanni is supposed to die, and not be jailed for killing your father.”“Well, I won't need the evidence after Giovanni dies. So, this deal will be useless for me. Besides, Giovanni will not live after killing my father. Don't think I plan on sparing his life.”Dylan laughed. “I like that! I sincerely do!” He muttered, dipped his hand into his pocket, and pulled out a phone. “It's here, everything on the watch,” he revealed, placed it on the bed beside Grey, and smiled slightly. “I will be in Jacksonville soon. We will talk then,” he finished, got up,

Avery couldn't stop thinking about all Grey had told her. She still found it hard to believe. How was she married and they weren't intimate?Does it mean she forced him to marry her? But then she wondered why she would do such a thing.She took her phone and placed a call to Sean.He picked it up immediately. “Hi, sister.”“I'm on the way home. So, come over. I won’t wait too much for you,” she finished and hung up immediately.The car pulled into the garage and Avery got down before the engine of the car would even stop.She walked inside the living room.“Ben, have you_” Emily started but stopped suddenly when she saw Avery. Her eyes widened with shock. “Avery!” Joy exploded in her eyes.Avery managed a smile and met her mother midway. They hugged.“Where have you been all these while? Why did you decide to stay away from us all this while?” She sobbed quietly.“I'm sorry,” Avery responded and pulled back to look at her mother fully. “I just need to get myself back. Besides, there a
