Adrian could not tell what had happened, but it seemed like there was a switch inside of Seth that had been ignited as he suddenly burst out laughing.“And what is so funny?” Adrian, who suddenly came to a halt, asked.“I just remembered what is going to happen to me once I leave here empty-handed. I am sure that you know why I have been hell-bent on getting married to Avery?”“Yes, I put the pieces together. Because the underworld asked you to which is why I quickly got married to her”Adrian gloated, standing right before Seth.“I knew it. You got married to her for the same reason, and you are going to be using her holy light the same way the underworld wanted to do, isn't that so?”“I don't get to answer to you, but I am more curious about what they intend to do with her, what is the purpose?”“Stop acting like you do not know Adrian, she has the holy light, that is all people like you see her as. She is just a vessel and nothing more!”“A vessel for what?”“For more powers!” Seth
Wesley stood before Avery, and at that moment, it seemed like he had understood where all of this was coming from, but now, he knew that it was going to be a very difficult task to explain to her.“You need to calm down Avery!”“I am calm and you can see that. I was just asking if you were in a hurry to do whatever it is which was your main purpose. And all this while, you kept on pretending, acting like you care about me”“I know it is hard, but I do care about you,” he expressed with sincerity in his voice, but Avery did not seem to be buying that.“You care about the holy light and not me. It has always been able it. Even the first time we met, you didn't even look at my face, all that you could see was the light which you intended to exploit”Avery clutched onto her chest, which felt like it was going to explode any second. She was in pain, and yet she was trying not to show it, but the tears already began to roll down her cheek.“That is not what I meant. You misunderstood what y
Avery remained right in her car even though she knew that she was supposed to do something at this point yet she couldn't because she was too scared to do anything at that point.But just when she is contemplating on the next measures to take, a figure comes out of the car; Avery realizes that it is a female figure and also finds herself exhaling loudly the moment she realizes that it is Freya.“Freya!” She called out, and this time, she finally got out of her car.“Do you know that I was enjoying my sleep before my brother called me to go check up on you!” She complained, walking towards Avery.“Are you also in on it with Him?”“I have no idea what you are talking about and I wouldn't want to get wrapped up in any of this, but whatever this is, I will advise that the both of you do not drag me into it”Freya complained, and right now, she was standing before Avery, who sighed in frustration.“I am sorry Freya, I guess a lot is just going through my head right now and I was taking it
Once Freya and Avery had parked the car in the Parking lot of the Wesley estate, they both stride inside but were stunned to see the entire family inside.But it was not just the entire Wesley family there. There was Mr. Woods and Seth also seated at the sitting room with Mr. Woods impatiently tapping his feet.“Finally! The bride decides to show up!” Mr. Woods spoke at the top of his voice in a sarcastic tone.Grandpa Hallow had a deep frown spread across his face, and so did Daniel, Sean, and Theo.Seeing the look on all their face, Avery immediately regretted coming back here. She thought to herself that she should have listened to Adrian and stayed back at the Villa until everyone had calmed down.“Avery, where is my Son?” Daniel asked; his voice was cold, yet he was trying to be reasonable.“He is not with me!” She muttered and then drifted closer to Freya as she whispered to her.“Why didn't you tell me that this is what is waiting for me back at your home?”“That is because I h
Adrian could barely get any sleep the whole of the night as he kept on tossing around, once the alarm on his phone started blowing off, he knew that it was time to be on his feet.But he went ahead and placed a call to Avery first, hoping that she was going to pick up, and just like she was waiting for his call, she immediately picked up.“Adrian?” She asked, her voice sounding low and sleepy.“Did I wake you up?”“It's not like you wouldn't be aware that I should be asleep while you are calling at 4:00 am”“I am sorry about that, I was just anxious and needed to be certain that you are safe!” He explained, and Avery was silent for a while; the thought of his care and concern for her made her heart start racing. Avery knew just what she was feeling for him, and no matter what she did, she couldn't deny that.“You keep acting like you care about me and yet?”“Would you believe the words that I say to a man who is trying to harm you or my actions for you all these years?”He asked agai
Avery stood outside anxiously waiting for Adrian, the entire family was getting ready for a family breakfast, and she knew that she might end up choking on the food if she had to face his family alone, coupled with what went on the previous day.She found herself letting out a deep breath as soon as she saw his car drive through the driveway, and without waiting for him to alight from his car, she rushed over, tugging herself into a warm hug.“Oh! Who would have thought that you would miss me this much” he teased, a smug spread through his lips.“Shut up and stop acting cocky!” She fired back that he could not help but chuckle.“So tell me, how did it go last night?” He wrapped his arm around her waist and they started walking inside.“It was hell. My Dad and Seth were here; they tried to force me into going back. That way, I could sign a divorce, and they would claim that you had forced me into the marriage, but I refused.“Good job there! And my family, how did it go?”“It went well
Grandpa Hallow had placed a call to Kelvin that night after he was done having a conversation with Daniel. They had talked about the board meeting that was going to take place the next day. As Daniel asked where his vote would go, Grandpa Hallow remained silent, unable to answer the question. Grandpa Hallow sat across the room, his eyes fixed at the beautiful serene from the window while Kelvin stood behind him. Although he had been asked to seat down, But Kelvin still declined. . there is a tensed air around the both of them like they were waiting for who would say the first word. “You won't seat?” “I am fine with standing!” Kelvin lowered his head while he spoke. “I remember when you were little, my room was where you loved to play the most, but here you are now feeling uncomfortable in here. Sincerely speaking, I never thought that you were going to show up, but I am glad you did” “Grandpa I apologize for my outburst the other time, I could not believe that you all would ab
Several members of the underworld had gathered at the sanctuary; Kelvin had not a single idea what it was about, but as soon as he was inside his car, his phone rang, and that was Jason informing him to be at the sanctuary.Kelvin arrived at the sanctuary and there was Jason at the door like he was waiting for him.“Finally! You decided to show up; what kept you this long?” Jason asked as soon as Kelvin walked toward him.“I was at the Wesley estate when you called, what is this about?”“You went there, I think that you were fighting over the company with them?”“Doesn't mean that I can't go there! It is still my home, and I have every reason to be there, I had so much unfinished business, so go ahead and tell me why I am here?”Kelvin insisted but the expression on Jason's face changed immediately while he was glancing over his shoulder.“The master had called for the meeting, all members both far and near had traveled just to be here”“Then it must be very important, what is it abou
