The reaction displayed by her parents was exactly what Avery envisioned. If they weren’t cool with her leaving the house, they definitely wouldn’t be okay with her leaving the city. “Look.” Avery said after a sigh. “I’m not leaving you guys for good. Of course I’ll be coming once in a while to spend time with you guys in London.”None of her parents said a thing and she realized that the damage control statement didn’t work. “What haven’t we done to make you happy?” Asked her mother with teary eyes. Avery took her head into her hands. “That’s the problem, mom. It’s not about what you guys have done or not. It’s about me. What have I done to make myself happy?”“Everything you ever cared about in Rockville especially that boy is gone.” Her father stressed. Avery sighed and positioned her hands on the table. “You’re right. I have no reason to go back but that place was home. At least I was happy and living my dreams. I’m not saying you guys don’t make me happy here.It’s just that I

“Charles just arrived.” Jackson said after releasing a breath he had been holding for quite a long time. Charles had just stepped out of his car and was on his way to Nathan’s living room. Nathan nodded and moved away from the dining to the sofa. That evening, he asked Jackson to summon Charles. Charles walked in with a smile. “Hi, guys. Hope all is well. Jackson said I needed to be here immediately.”“Your friend is leaving.” Jackson spat and crashed on the couch opposite Nathan. Charle’s brows went up. “What? Leaving where?”Jacskon sighed. “Well, he was supposed to break the news to you himself but I guess, I couldn’t just hold it back.”Nathan cleared his throat and looked up to Charles. “Why don’t you first take a seat.”Charles reluctantly sat. “Just tell me that Jackson is kidding?”Jacskon turned to Charles with his eyes wide open and the look that says ‘Does this look like I’m playing games with you?’Charles wanted to speak but Nathan raised a finger. “Please, allow me.

Cornor flashed a confident smile and walked up to Nathan. “Pleased to meet you. I’m Conor, Elias. I’m Lisa’s oldest friend and closest pal.”he said boldly. “And soon to be husband.” Margaret added proudly with a smile. Cornor smiled and turned to Nathan. “I’ve been dying to meet you. I mean, I’ve been dying to meet the man who was able to charm Lisa. I know it’s an arranged marriage but for you to be considered worthy by a woman of standard like Lisa, there must be something special about you.” He said with piqued interest. Nathan said nothing. “There’s nothing special about him, Cornor.” Joey spat. “He was just a helpless guy that Lisa ran into one night and then decided to bring him home. We all did him a Favour and for a moment, we thought he could keep up but you can’t pick a cat from the street and make it a pet. They always go back to where they came from.” He said with his eyes fixated on Nathan. “Pleased to meet you, Conor and if you may please excuse me, I need to grab

When Nathan got away from the Carson mansion, he took in some breath of fresh air and breathed out a sigh of relief. He was now a few miles away from the house snd was standing on a straight path, waiting for a cab to pull over. Nathan had a lot of things he needed to accomplish at Springfield and the most important thing right now was to get a place to spend the night. He was about to book a ride using his phone when he noticed a cab pulling toward him. The car had just dropped someone off around the neighborhood. “Going somewhere?” The driver asked after pulling to a halt before Nathan. “Yes.” Nathan replied and immediately opened the door to the front seat. He sat and then turned to the driver. “I need to get to a hotel right away.”The driver saw Nathan’s back pack and concluded that he was some stranger in town. “Do you have any hotel in mind or you want me to recommend a guest inn for you?” Asked the driver.“Take me somewhere far from here.” Replied Nathan. He was so sick

After going through the first three pages of the catalogue, Nathan stopped with a sigh. His eyes were glued to a particular section on the left which was dedicated to penthouses. “So, what do you think?” Harris asked after noticing the section that piqued Nathan’s interest. Nathan hummed. “I think I’ve gotten what I been looking for?” He replied and passed the catalogue to Harris. “This, right here is the house I need.” Harris smiled. “You have good eyes, boy. This is one of the most exotic properties we have here. This penthouse is a few meters away from Springville beach. It’s peaceful, beautiful and gives you the perfect view. If you’re a loner then trust me, you’re going to enjoy this place. You should see the structure in person. It looks way better than on this paper:”Before Nathan could give a response, Margaret was already on her feet, berating him with her laughter. “Wait, did you just say that Smith chose a penthouse?”she directed the question at Harris. Harris turned
