Avery stood there motionless, she couldn't even will herself to go fetch the note. She was heartbroken, so heartbroken that she couldn't take a step, she wasn't even sure she was aware of anything going on in her body. Her mind was filled with so many thoughts but at the same time her head was clear.The room was dark, the air was stuffy, the windows were not opened and what she could smell was copper. And all she was seeing was her mother's lifeless body as it sat on the sofa.Her worst fear had become her reality. She was alone. She was finally alone.After everything that she did to ensure that she never ended up alone, there wasn't a remedy for her situation now.She figured that what could've made her mother so this was guilt.

From the look on his face, it was obvious that Derek was asking himself a million questions at the same time, he was mainly wondering if that question had been directed at him because it was very unusual for Davide to be like that.He had to admit that he was used to the Davide that would bow his head and concede to whatever he was ordering, the Davide he could command, the Davide he had power over but the man standing before him was different. He had a kind of confidence or rather, smugness about him for whatever reason. He looked like he wasn't in any way scared nor could he be bullied into concession any longer. He had his money, he had his position he had the life of a rich person. Derek dropped what he was reading and then placed his focus on Davide, "i do not understand that question". He said.Davide shrugged and then went for a coffee, he walked and acted like what he had just said and what he was planning to say were just simple basic words that had in no way any weight."Th

Zeta shook her head, a frown settled on her face as she subconsciously took a few steps back. "no, that's not what I meant to say".Davide saw her sudden movement away from him but said nothing, he scrutinized her appearance once again and then confirmed that she wouldn't be saying anything more again, he finally opened the door and climbed into his car, leaving her standing there dumbfounded.He had planned to meet Mr Lee at the building where they would be welcoming the designers that Lisa had introduced for them in and later, he was going to meet with the designers that Cassie had recommended for him. He wondered if he was going to be able to pull it off considering the fact that he was just one person. And he was also very tired.Everything was tiring and his problems just seemed a lot bigger than he was.When he got to the building, he saw that Mr

Mr Lee visibly panicked, his fists were tightened on his sides as his brain tried to formulate an excuse to get away from the spot that Davide had placed him. He had not been expecting that Davide would say such a thing out of nowhere.Davide chuckled lightly as he saw the expression on Mr Lee's face, he found it a tad funny that just a few words like that would be able to turn Mr Lee to a nervous mess."What's up with you? If you don't want me to meet them, you just have to use your words".Mr Lee came to, he shook his head and released his fist then he scratched his eyebrow, "it's not that, I just wasn't expecting you to say it like that". Mr Lee half lied.Davide tilted his head to the side, "how?""Like you want to get married!" He yelled.Davide laughed, "that's not true, friends say that as well".Mr Lee shook his head
The West's Secret Heir Chapter 122
When Mr Lee stopped the car at the parking lot of the hospital, he could feel that beside him, Davide had many questions. However, maybe he was trying to be patient waiting for Mr Lee to say something first before he asked any question. Davide just stared through the window watching people going about as he waited for Mr Lee to alight from the vehicle first."My sister is here" Mr Lee started. Davide turned to look at him, he pursed his lips and waited for Mr Lee to continue, "she was shot".Davide gasped, "then what are we doing in the car, shouldn't we be there with her?""Are we the doctors that we should make haste?" Mr Lee questioned.Davide paused his hand that was already reaching to open the car, he realized that Mr Lee was right and so he nodded his head and then leaned back into his seat. "I'm sorry, I'm just so anxious." He apologized, "who shot her?"Mr Lee shook his head, "I don't know, my brother just told me she was shot and sent me the location, regarding anything els

Throughout the meeting with the designers that Cassie had recommended, Davide had been lost. He couldn't focus on what was happening around him, continually checking his phone, getting the sting of guilt and sweating in his palms. Mr Lee noticed this and he didn't hesitate to lead the meeting whilst Davide was just lost. He knew what was in his heart but he wondered if calling Avery would be an act of cheating to Cassie because Avery was his ex, the only woman other than Cassie he had ever been with. He didn't know how he wanted to word it. He was very worried about Avery, so worried that the issue with work had been pushed far from the front of his mind."What's going on?" Mr Lee whispered to him when the designers decided to talk amongst themselves.There were over six of them and they all had very intriguing work, their portfolios were filled with pictures of those designs that had hit the market like a storm over the last few years, though they themselves were not popular as the
The West's Secret Heir Chapter 124
Mr Lee suddenly felt like it was his fault for bringing it up. He had heard how Davide's voice broke and he guessed that without realizing, Davide had been inexplicably hurt by what he had done. He must've felt an underlying sense of guilt these past days. The issue Avery was facing was no small fit and he had just abandoned her like she was nothing.She had had a miscarriage and no matter what had happened, she couldn't be blamed for it. She had also confessed her love for him which could mean that losing that child was never her aim."When she found out she was pregnant, she didn't want the child. I had to convince her to keep it and I could see how reluctant she was". Davide started, "then she started to use the child to get to me, she would make up stories just so that I would show up. She wanted me back together with her and did all sorts of bullshit to accomplish that. And then we finally got divorced and suddenly the child was gone. It had been a shitty thing to do but I had bl

Davide and Mr Lee decided to check on the designers. The car ride had been silent, upon the discovery they just made considering Avery and even Mr Lee himself, one would believe they would be talking non stop about it but surprisingly, they weren't.They were both silent. Keeping their thoughts in, wondering if the other would like to talk. "How do you feel?" Mr Lee broke the silence, "you've been quiet, it makes me anxious".Davide chuckled, "I'm just thinking about what happened"."You have a suspect in mind" it wasn't a question, it was more of a declaration because it was the truth. These past few days, Mr Lee could say that he knew Davide to a extent and he knew that Davide had been thinking about this since Avery had said itFor Davide to have been told that he knew who the person was, his thoughts had not been able to settle, the erraticness of his heart was what shut his mouth up. He could not voice how he was feeling, where was hurting or would he come up with what to do abo

Cassie and Avery were no doubt excited about this. Seeing that Avery knew a lot about fashion and knew a lot of designers, Cassie decided that in this secret mission of theirs, Avery was going to be her assistant."I think it'll help tremendously if we were to leave the country". Avery said.Cassie, Davide and Mr Lee looked at her in confusion. They couldn't understand how this would help, they couldn't see it from her point of view.Avery recognized the confusion in them and only smiled before further explaining: "I know Cassie would be the last person they would think to search, but she will still be on the list, they know you guys are together and that Cassie is obviously on your side. So the best way to ensure that they don't find out about this, is to do this in another country".Davide nodded his head, "you're right," he said. "Leaving the country is a good pla

Mr Lee sounded so broken as he talked about his father. When he had told Davide about his family, he never really went into details about anything, only sliding over the surface as he spoke about the things his parents had put him through. He didn't talk about the punches, about how he had to defend himself against them, about how he had felt to see the man he called his father, the man he was supposed to love, the man that was supposed to be his hero turn into his greatest adversary. He never spoke about how those punches destroyed him, he only talked about how his mother's words broke him acting like the effect of his father's actions had not in any way affected him when in actuality it had made him less of a person. He had lived with the trauma, he had received abuses, punches from people just because it felt natural. But he was an adult now and he knew nothing about fighting back. He could not fight back because he was broken, he had been made less by the most important person to

Davide's heart was beating against his chest violently like drums at a carnival as he waited impatiently for Avery to say what she wanted to say. He was anxious, he wondered if Avery was confident in her own answer, if she really believed that she knew the person.He figured that if she really does know who it was that had come for the gold, then he would know that person as well. Sure, Avery did know a lot of people that he didn't know but the list of suspects was reduced to the people that Avery knew who also knew Davide. This attack, this hate was only against him. It was too strong to be said that It was targeted at the people that were around Avery. This person was coming for Davide directly and so he must know them.A fear gripped his heart, he had known for a while now that the person who was plotting against him in such a way was an acquaintance or even a friend, but being met with facts that proved his deductions had been corr

It did not cross Avery's mind that that was a question she should be asking a perpetrator who was clothed in black clothes. She was, however, anxious and also very scared. The physique of the person was tiny, they looked short and for some reason very curvy.Avery kept scrutinizing the person as the two of them stayed in the same position, eyes focused on the other. Avery wss unrelenting, she was not going to back down, she had been trying her hardest to atone for her sins and now that it seemed she really didn't need atonement the least she could do was give back what she had taken. But this person was going to rob her of that chance.It was highly impossible that Avery was going to let them.The person's eyes darted around the room, possibly looking for an opportunity to escape, but it was unlike it seeing that the room was messy and the only way that they would be able to escape was to jump over heaps of clothes or maybe fly, and it was very impossible that the person could fly.Av

The car ride was silent. But it was mainly because they both just got in. Avery wanted to say a lot of things to him but they mostly just circled around the words: "Thank you".She didn't know where to begin, his eyes were on the road as he drove, she wondered if she was the only one feeling this way. It wasn't so hard to guess that he was just being nice, he just pitied her. Though she felt that maybe it was more than that, maybe there was something else but she couldn't really say. She didn't know how to start the conversation. She didn't know how to start telling him thank you.Mr Lee however was more nervous than she was. He was sweating in places he didn't think existed. His heart was beating very fast and he was surely in need of a conversation.He wanted to talk to her about what happened, however, he was worried that maybe she would get the wrong idea, it was mainly that he wanted to talk about when the depression started, when she started to feel like there was nothing holdin
Chapter 131
Cassie had not been expecting that Davide would suddenly ask her that question and especially at a time that really wasn't conducive. They had just more or less had a slight misunderstanding, they were still regulating being a couple. This was the first relationship she had ever been in. And although for Davide it was different, he had even been married but this was all new to her.She had had flings in the past, she had had one night stands but never a relationship. She loved Davide, truthfully. She had always loved him and when he came back into her life, it had been an earth shattering effect on her. She did imagine how it would be like to get married to Davide but it was still so soon. It was too soon for her. "I know you might think that I'm crazy that I'm making a very hasty decision but if everything goes south with this then i want to have the experience of being married to you before I die" Cassie shook her head, "you're not going to die." She had wanted to deflect, probabl

I don't care," Avery said, "I don't care if I die, I have nothing, I have no one in this world anymore. I only bring pain so yes, let them exterminate me. I have lived a fulfilling life".Mr Lee's heart lurched at those words. He was the only one other than Avery who had ever found himself at that place in life where he couldn't bother himself to stay alive, the time where he had just left the hospital. Then it had dawned on him that his mother would prefer that he was dead. At that time, he actually wanted to die, he didn't know what he was staying alive for. His family didn't want him, life was too hard, nothing was going his way. He really wanted to die and get it over and done with.He related quite well with what Avery was feeling and he pitied her because he knew how hard it must've been on her to make that decision that she didn't care. She was being brave but also very suicidal. He recalled the conversation he had with Davide, looking at her, he could see the shadow of that wo

Cassie got serious, she adjusted in her car and then looked around to the people who were with her."An address came to my phone" she said, "it said I would find the person who tried to kill my mother there".Avery's heart skipped a beat. If she had been holding a glass of anything, that glass would've fallen down, scattered, never could it be glued together again.She didn't need a professor to let her know that those people had discarded her. Since she didn't have anybody they could threaten her with, now they wanted to do away with her. Avery wanted to laugh, she shook her head slightly, her mother left her, her daughter did and now even these people wanted to leave her. Avery felt like she was no different from a used tissue, once she had served her purpose, she was thrown away into a waste bin.This was the waste bin she had found herself. She was also kind of happy that they didn't try to kill her, rather they wanted someone else to send her to prison. "And of course I didn't
