Love always has a way
Looking at the life of the young charming lady dressed in overall black wearing costly and expensive jewels one would wish they had a life just like her, filled with luxury, pride and many people to feel oppressed when you're around. That was the life of the billionaire daughter Avery Marshal, age twenty five (25) and only child of the most feared drug baron billionaire Marshal Alexandre. She would have remained happy languishing in her father's wealth if not for her new strife.
Her father Mr marshall was getting old and all his enemies where at him the old man knew he had less time left and needed a grandson from their daughter, Avery who wasn't ready for kids was taken unaware and she not bringing a man in the next two weeks will need to marry whoever her father brought, faced with this sad reality she had left home to drink now drunk she staggered on her way home she hadn't allowed any guard follow her, she kept walking around the quiet street dizzily each step making her eyes grow dim it wasn't long before she collapsed.
Her eyes flutter open the next morning, her head gave a screaming pain so extreme she had to grab her head a man in his 30's walked up to her he was dressed shabbily beign a can picker. "Who are you and why am I here?, she asked "am Austin, I picked you up when you fainted yesterday, guess you drank too much. "Huh how dare you touch me or even carry me? She asked her eyes wide open and bewildered she smelt her cloth surprising the stunned Austin " hope you didn't touch me or go down there,? She asked Austin with a mischievous smile asked "down where? Feigning an innocent look, "never mind Avery added feeling embarrassed she stood up from the old wornout bed and made to leave Austin stopped And moved toward her, her eyes fluttered as he came nearer was he going to kiss her he brushed pass her wondering why her eyes where close and her mouth parted he picked her handbag and phone from his cupboard and gave to her "here found them on you! Avery who was feeling kinda disappointed just nodded and left in a hurry she hadnt felt like this for the past years. Why does she feel disappointed that he did not kiss her.
She would definitely like to meet this Austin guy again but she won't bring herself low to the point of visiting this trench base in search of him it will be detarogatory to her identity. She typed her location to her driver and waited for him by the bus stop.
Austin was still bewildered "how could she be this proud,? not even a thank you he should have avoided helping her, than getting himself disgraced yeah he felt ashamed she had smelt her body, if only life could be a little bit fairer to him, he wouldn't be trashed up here why his stepbrother controlled the wealth of thier father, due to his mom influence he had plan on making money and having them pay for all they did to him. Put picking trash can for a living wasn't the best job he had to survive first then think of the next strategy picking his trash bag he saw something on the bed her bracelet. He was awed this could be sold for a lot of money but he will never steal no matter what the situation might be.
He hid it save in his cupboard expecting her to comeback for it.
He didn't know why he smiled at the thought of her coming back but he sure knew he looked stupid on that smile.
Avery had her mind always wondering back to Austin as she layed on her comfy bed, she had thought the obsession would go away but no it wasn't the feeling was weird she smiled unknowingly. As the thought float through her mind she had indeed expected a kiss from a poor street man. She turned slightly.
'Huh my bracelet" she looked stunned not finding the last gift of her grandmother on her hand, worry swept through her mindher father would definitely ask for it during dinner she had to find it, luckily he did not notice it during breakfast, her mind wandered far and near only one man could be responsible for it, does he even plan on stealing it? Why didn't he give it to her when he gave her, the bag and phone? He was going to punish him if he sells it. She smirked, she might like him but she won't let him toy with her not when it concerns her grandma last gift no not now not ever.
she picked her car keys from the closet and came outside, beckoning on three heavily built bodyguard to accompany her, getting into her newly shipped in car the driver brought the engine to life as they sped off following his madam orders they went to the outskirts of the city which was popularly known as the slums the place where all dark buisiness, strip parties, gang war and hideous brothels where found. because of the fear of FBI.
Austin had really made good sales he had a smuggish look on his face as he rounded the corner to his house the bag neatly wrapped around his arm, the thought of having a good meal today was what made this happiness exist deep inside of him and visible on his face.
but horror met his eyes when he entered his little comfort room his cloth where scattered his bed overturned, anger filled him up

What do you think?
Will Avery be that mean to an innocent saviour?
Will Austin agree he took it or lie to have it sold?
Owing to his apparent status?
Let see what come up next.
If indeed they are meant to be.
