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

    Mr Lee was quite taken aback to see Davide. He hadn't expected that the man would grace his office with his presence. Mr Lee was anything but pleased especially as there was an annoying smirk playing on Davide's face as they made eye contact. Mr Lee rose to his feet, he needed to show a bit of respect or at the very least, acknowledgement as he saw Davide and that was the only reason he stood up to his feet. Davide smiled and walked to the table, he was making eye contact with Mr Lee and he was very aware of the fact that Mr Lee hated having him in the office. Davide didn't care anyway, all he cared for was telling Mr Lee the news he brought with him. It didn't matter to him whether Mr Lee had anything to tell him or whether he was pleased to see him or not. "How may I help you?" Davide clapped his hands, "congratulations Mr Lee, you're my new assistant". Mr Lee frowned, the displeasure on his face was quite palpable. He was battling yelling all sorts of profanities at Davide, he

He had hated him from the beginning but now, Davide was making him.olan his death. He wanted to kill Davide if ever given the chance. "When you get back, drop the fike on my desk" Davide said to him offhandedly, his attention still fixated on the person he was conversing with.

    Derek frowned slightly, he saw the domineering look in Davide's eyes and he felt the power that oozed out of Davide. He didn't expect that suddenly davide would be acting in such a manner towards him. He wondered if it was as a result of the power he had gotten. Derek wondered if he had made a mistake by making Davide get the position. Those words that came from Davide meant that he had grasped an understanding that the empire was his. Derek wondered if a day would come when davide would send him out of the house because he felt like it. He didn't know what to think of Davide anymore. He was worried for himself and his life.

    Davide looked at Mr Lee speechlessly. In the past, if anyone had told him that Mr Lee could act silly, he would have told the person they were high on drugs, but before him, standing with a smile on his face and raised eyebrows and rosy red cheeks, being exactly how Davide would never picture him. It was kind of creepy, scratch that, it was very creepy and Davide didn't know how to react to that. He was sitting down, he had the urge to jump to his feet and run away in fear. "Please, don't do that. It's very creepy" he said to Mr Lee. "Why? Don't you believe that I can care for you?" Mr Lee asked him, still smiling. Davide shook his head, "you hate me Mr Lee, you hate everything about me and so I can boldly say you do not care for me and please stop smiling". "But I bought you food," Mr Lee pouted, gesturing to the food. "And how do I know it's not poisoned?" "Do you want me to feed it to you?" "I'm asking you if you poisoned it and you want to feed it to me? Feed it to yoursel

    Mr Lee noticed how Davide's shoulders became still, he had been on the front row seat, watching how the young man excitedly scrutinized each and every car parked in that space. He saw the joy and excitement and child-like wonder in his eyes. Although, Mr lee found it annoying and found this trip of theirs to be a waste, there was something about the way Davide laughed and got excited over the cars he was seeing.Now it was all different. It was as if those cars had lost their touch, as if Davide had outgrown the joy which shouldn't be so.He walked to the vehicle where davide was cradled under looking at the car. As he walked past Mr Mark's, Mr Lee was sure to catch the slight fear in his eyes no matter how much he had tried to shroud it. But pointing out fear was one thing that mr lee was superb at."What's going on?" Mr kee asked Davide as he also bent down to look at the engine of the car.He saw that stuck inside the engine, in a small space was something that was covered in black

    Avery panicked and threw the paper away. She was scared, terrified, her mother was so precious to her. Though she hadn't been the best mother, there was no way Avery would let any harm come to her.She started to regret ever accepting the money because the only way she could get out of this was by paying back. However, she wondered if the person behind all these packages would even accept the money back.The last time, he had paid her with cash just so she would do what he wanted, and now, he was threatening her. She wondered to what extent he was watching her so that he could tell she had spoken to Davide. And it had also been days, why did this person wait?Did it really matter? What concerns her was that there was a possibility that her mother was in danger and she needed to go to her rescue. Avery didn't even realize that she had been crying out of fear. Or maybe it wasn't just fear, maybe there was something more.Oh yes, there was regret. If she had not hated Davide as fervent

    Maybe it was the loose, unkempt ponytail, or the simple pair of sweatpants matched with a hoodie, or it was hee bare face, but Beatrice could point out that there was something very different about her daughter.Other than her appearance, she was also smiling in a way that Beatrice was accustomed to. The last time Avery smiled like that was years ago when she tied the knots with Davide. Up until now that smile was gone.Avery approached her wearing that sad but happy smile, she looked tired, she looked like she was carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders.Aveey crouched down by her leg and gave it a gentle squeeze, "hello mom"."Is this your daughter?" The two percent woman asked.Beatrice didn't know where the smile came from, but she was grinning from ear to ear with pride bubbling in her chest, she nodded her head vigorously."Yes, this is my daughter," she looked at Avery, "my only daughter"."Aigoo," the red haired woman said, "so you brought her up while pushing her t

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
