He had somehow become Davide's mentor, always coming to his aid when Davide needed it.He saw from where he was standing how miserable his nephew had become.

Davide was hopeless, if left to him, he wouldn't be able to save himself from the deadly claws of the directors.They were out to get him.

Mr Lee was staring at the man as he held the door of the car. He was speechless, his eyes were conveying more than what Mr Lee could absorb in the second. But he did find traces of reverence, admiration, a hinge of devotion in those eyes. However, those were emotions almost all the workers of the company possessed because to many people, Derek was a mentor, he was a star, he was a good leader and he was leading them to the victory they all wanted, he was leading them to a world where their voices could be heard.And Mr Lee stood witness to this because he had been there on the number of occasions when Derek made sure voices were heard and Davide's voice was one of them. He didn't want to believe that Derek was just simply a good person, a philanthropist, a great leader. He had asked himself a number of times if Derek shared a form of relationship to other employees that he had stood up for so fervently that it made headlines but of course, from the information he gathered, Derek was j

Davide knew it would come to that. He was well aware of the fact that that suggestion was going to be put forward. He knew when he came to the hospital that the person he was going to meet would be an acquaintance. He knew that the doctor was going to recognize him and they might manipulate him into giving blood to Beatrice even though the woman did not deserve it.Davide thought again. If he didn't give her the blood, her death was a certainty. She would die and he would have it on his conscience, but a part of him knew that if he did give her this blood, the ties he had with Avery might never be severed. He recalled all the bullshit he had put up with, all the insults, the downgrading, the embarrassment that Beatrice had put him through. The doctor was looking at him, at the fact that he was hesitating and Davide knew in his heart that the doctor was judging him. He was probably thinking that Davide was too selfish, too cruel to put aside those petty things and just give her the b

Avery had been yapping to the doctor, she didn't see what Davide was doing. She waa frowning, yelling about how itbwas Davide's duty to give her mother the blood. She never expected that Davide woukd just suddenly stand up, holding the pint of blood on his hand.Avery was befuddled, she looked wroujd towards the nurse who was already getting rid of the instruments they had used. The nurse waa obviously avoiding eye contact wuth Avery. She was scared of meeting the eyes of such a woman, fearing that maybe Avery's anger would be directed at her next."What's going on?" Avery asked.Zeta whonhad veen standing by the door only laughed. But it was a laughter that was soaked with mockery, it was dripping mockery and even her eyes held the fact that she was making fun of Avery.Avery looked back at her. She was confused but what she was more worried about was why the hell Davide had suddenly stood up, abd even more shocking was that hebwas approaching the exit where shebwas standijg in front

He was met with this unfortunate circumstance. The man didnt love him. The man was treating hik.like hebwas a slave. However, Davide felt that it wasn't all Derek's fault. He understood the man though, davide had given Avery so much power that she even managed to mess with him in his own comoany, she ruined his chances of ever turning himself into something better. She had ruined him and this was what derek was angry about. Since he couldn't be angry at Avery, he pushed the anger unto the person who had given Avery the opportunity to do that bullshit. He was turning his an

Davide looked at Avery expectantly. To be honest, he didn't believe that she would want to open up about everything. He didn't believe her when she said she would tell him but he needed to give her the benefit of the doubt. He wanted to believe that there was still the slightest good in her. Avery however was hesitant, she wondered if it waa better to just tell a lie because that could be more believable than the truth. There was no way she could possibly tell davide what had happened because if she was the one in his shoes, she probably wouldn't even believe the person. Davide was patient with her, he was waiting for her to make a move, for her to talk, for her to tell him the truth she was hiding from him. He was waiting for everything she was keeping from him. Avery sucked in a deep breath. The unbelievable truth was about to escape her mouth. She was desperate so she had no choice but to tell him everything. "I was paid to do so". She admitted. Davide frowned deeply, "framed?"

The day of the anniversary finally came. The anniversary event that had had Davide and derek on their toes for weeks was finally here. Davide was anxious, there were so many things that could go wrong and he was already seeing how those things could blow up in his face. He was thinking a lot of things but it was only due to the fact that he was very nervous. He couldn't even make a bow tie. His hands shook as he tried tying the knots, his neck had ripples of sweat stuck to them and no matter how many times he dried them off, he couldn't completely get rid of them. He was surely nervous and what also put him.on edge other than the fact that this event was going to determine his future, he was going to the event with Cassie. She had told him their outfits matched. The color of the tux he was wearing was linen gray. Iy matched the vibrant color of his eyes. His beard was nearly shaved and he made sure he wore perfumes. He wondered if there was a possibility that everything would go smoo

Davide's heart skipped a beat. He didn't know how to answer Zeta's question, he felt like he was a kid caught for stealing candy. He himself could not explain what the kiss was about, just that it made him feel jittery. It made his heart flutter, it made every bone in his bones anticipate, and made his loins hotter. So what words could he use to describe such a thing? What words was Zeta expecting him to use to describe something so unexpected, beautiful, lustful and genuine? Davide shook his head, he had been trying to not think deeper into the kiss because he knew that Cassie was a beautiful woman and so she has surely had her fair share of romance and flings too, he guessed that to Cassie it was just one mindless kiss but yo him it was something more. It was something he couldn't get out of his head for days, it was something that was keeping him on edge, it was something that made him unable to look Cassie in the eyes, it was something he wanted to happen again. He didn't know wh

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

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
