Avery woke up the next day after a long hour of sleep; she had not requested any meal from anyone, knowing how much they all despised her. Rather, she had gone with some cereal, hoping that by the time she woke up, Adrian would have resolved all of this and would be back.But she slowly opened her eyes with the hopes of having Adrian next to her, yet he wasn't there. Avery quickly hurried downstairs. It was still early, and most of the family members were still in their rooms, except for Sean, who had a glass of coffee and was glancing through the magazine.“Avery! How are you doing?” A smile warmed his face as soon as he noticed her standing at the stairs. That was not the expression she had expected from a member of the Wesley family towards her, and yet she still went ahead to smile back.“I am fine Sir.”“I heard about what happened to you, I know that it must be a lot to take in?”“I guess so, but I am holding up. Is Adrian back?” She finally asked because that was all that matte
The senior officer who was in his office could hear the commotion that was going on and decided to check up on it but was stunned to hear that it was the sons of the Wesley family that his junior officer was arguing.“Mr. Daniel Wesley!” he called, trying to be sure that he was seeing right since he had only seen him on television and had never gotten the chance to meet the president of the Wesley group in person until now.“Yes!” Daniel managed to respond with a frustrating groan that escaped his lips.“I am Detective Shawn, whatever issue that you have. Please come with me, and I will help you out,” he spoke in a very polite manner,r, knowing that this could be his gateway to a promotion that he had been seeking for a long time now.“We do not have much time!” Sean grunted as they were both getting impatient.“I understand your plight, but you just have to come with me for me to be able to sort out your issues more quickly, whatever that may be,” he insisted. Daniel and Sean both st
Daniel could not think straight all the way back home; his heart was racing heavily, and several thoughts were on his mind about his son and the possibility of him still being alive.“You need to calm down, Brother; we will do everything to find him and pull all.out connections in the bureau”“That is just the thing, Sean, I am so afraid of what we might end up finding; what if Adrian is dead? I don't think that I will be able to bear the loss of my son!”“Adrian is a strong soul; there is no way that he will die so easily; you have to hold that in mind!”Sean was trying so hard to calm him down, and seeing that his brother, r who he had always looked up to and thought that he was strong, g was starting to lose his mind over his son as he kept murmuring to himself.“I have always kicked against the relationship between Avery and my son not because I hate her or beat any grudge against her, but from the first to when Adrian was attacked at school and was asked to stay away from Avery,
As Avery escorted Adrian to his room, she kept a very long distance away from him, and once she swung the door open, she stood at the door and waited for his reaction. There was not even a single admiration in his eyes; slowly, he strides in, but a look of disgust on his face that Avery was forced to ask.“Why do you have that expression, don't you like the room?”“It is okay, just that it seems a little small for an heir”“An heir?” Avery asked in a confused state.“Yes, the cab that brought me here. I told him my name, and he told me that I was the heir of Wesley Corporation.” his face was blank with his hands gently touching everything in there, a little admiration in his eyes.“So you know your name, and also the names of a few people here, but you can't put a face to them?”She asked; she was indeed curious; Adrian pulled away from the flower that he was stroking as his attention turned to Avery; there was not even the slightest hint of recognition in his eyes.“You are Amelia, r
Once everyone had retired to their room, Sean scurried over to the living room as he realized that his brother was still there.“Daniel, I know that it is a lot for you to take in one day, but you should get some sleep”“How is that even possible, seeing my son like that, I can't even begin to imagine the trauma they might have put him through that got him to this point where he is right now.”Sean sighed, seeing that this was a conversation that his brother wasn't going to let go of that easily; he finally walked up to the wine cellar, where he grabbed a bottle of vodka, poured it into two shots, and placed one right before Daniel.Like Sean knew that was what his brother had been craving all night, Daniel gulped the entire content down his throat and requested more.“These men I don't know who they are, but they have done so much to our family and it is high time that we strike back” Sean gritted his teeth, although he knew that was not the encouragement that his brother wanted to
Adrian stormed right inside, and Avery was stunned as she jerked up from her sleep. “What is going on, Adrian? Is everything?” she asked, her eyes darting around for his source of mood to swing this early until her eyes landed on his outfit, and she burst out into a loud laugh.“What are you wearing Adrian?”“What is so wrong about my outfit that you all find it amusing?”“Everything is so wrong, I will help you change into something better, but for now, I need to know why you look so worked up early in the morning when you should be bright and vibrant”“Everyone in this house is treating me like a child and has insisted that I can't leave until I see some fucking doctor, whereas there is nothing wrong with me!”“You just have to calm down Adrian, no one is treating you like a child, everyone is worried about you, if you don't want to see a doctor, then you can talk to me, tell me Adrian, what happened to you after I left”Her gaze pinned on him in the most emotional way that she coul
Klein had never gotten the opportunity to speak to Avery one-on-one, even during those times when he had to drive them to their destination, but right now, she was standing at his door and not to mention that she was looking over her shoulders; he knew for a certain that something was wrong.“Do you need something ma?” he asked again, hoping that she would ease her tensed expression this time around.“Can I speak to you in private for a moment?” She requested as she struggled not to look nervous; he nodded his head and started walking towards the Parking lot.“There are no cameras here except for that one which can't take this angle, so go ahead and speak”He requested once they were down at the parking lot.“Have you spoken to Adrian since he arrived?”“No. He is still overwhelmed by his family and doesn't recognize me, I think he needs some time ma”“Yes, he doesn't recognize you because he doesn't know you and he doesn't know you because that is not Adrian!”She blurted out as Klei
Heading back upstairs to the room, Avery realized that her phone had been ringing all this while, but was more stunned to see that it was her Dad.“Dad?” Her voice was shaky from being surprised; the last time that she had spoken to him was the day that she was abducted; he had told her on that day that she was no longer his daughter and could not work at the company again.Avery was still trying to get his words into her head before she was abducted and now, she wasn't sure why he would be calling.“Avery dear! How are you doing?” He asked softly; his voice was calm; that wasn't what she would expect from a man who claimed to be so mad at her.“I am doing alright, I wasn't expecting to hear from you”“Me either, but I miss you, Avery, how about we meet and talk”“Okay, but is something going on?”“No, I just want to see you. Come over to my office and Avery, forget all of the things that I said the you the other day”Even as the call ended in her ear, she was so stunned and was tryin
