Avery had her arms around the wheel of the car. Her heart was beating against her chest like drums on a festival. She keot looking through the window if there was anyone there.
The vehicke sbe was sitting in had been provided for her and onbthe oassenger seat was a loaded gun. She made sure to wear handglloves and not leave her fingerprints anywhere so that if thecase was investugated, there woukd be nothing at all pining her to it.
She had done this before, she had ran someone over but there had been no specific xommand whetehr or not she was to ket the person kive or not. However, today she was orderes to mak sure that this victim died. And there was even a gun waitung for her.
The address and the time that had been given to her had been followed by her. It brought her to a r
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. She couldn't live with herself knowing that her daughter was doing some horrid things just so she could keep her life. She knew that her mother was well aware that she hadn't been a good mother but that didn't mean she should take her life.It reminded her
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
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
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 froze where he stood. His heart was beating fast against his chest, with great difficulty, he had swallowed the reality that Avery had been alone during her most traumatic experience and he hadn't been with her even though what she lost was their child. And now, from one misfortune to another, Avery had lost her mother and she was already having a funeral for her. Davide was ashamed of himself but he knew that this was not about him, it couldn't be about him. The woman he had loved for years was going through not just one experience but two. She had lost the two most important people to her.Davide could only imagine how lonely she was after going through all that she had been through. And all this happened less than a week ago. He glanced at Mr Lee who was behind him, though blue had looked quite ravishing on him, it certainly wasn't the appropriate color right now "Zeta, I need a new pair of clothes right now for my assistant, and make it funeral clothes". He said.Zeta wa
