Chapter 1 Unpaid debt

t Avery ' s POV "You want me to do what?" I said, completely surprised by what he just said. "You have an option, Miss Morris, " he sat across me, with a nonchalant expression on his face. "I will not force you, you have to choose how to pay me, you could either take my offer or get my eighteen million dollars in a month' s time " he said, like he enjoyed watching me get angrier. "But how can I possibly pay what my father owes in only a month?" I asked as though he would have an answer.

"I miss the part where that' s my problem" he answered taking the cup of tea to his lips, his eyes watching my gaze, I could tell that he was very serious about it. "I'm giving a space of three days to think, if you do not give me an answer, I will assume that you have rejected my offer for a contract marriage " he added, putting the cup on the table that stood between the two of us. "How could he talk about marriage so casually?" I muttered under my breath later that day when I sat idly behind my desk. 'I can erase your father' s debt, if you will marry me ' I heard his voice echo through in my ears. I felt someone slightly tap my shoulder "Miss Avery, there ' s someone who wants to see you " Perry said to me in a worried tone " Are you okay?" she added putting her hand on my shoulder, gently. "Yeah I'm okay, thank you " I said calmly putting up a smile hoping it looked real. " Avery " Phill' s voice resounded in the room, his smile reaching his ears as he cackled. "Mr. Phill, please what are you doing here " I asked in a hush tone, I would resent myself if there were any rumors about me getting affiliated with an old wealthy man. Three days ago... After a long day at work trying to arrange the documents for the audit in Magnus Corp that was needed, I was quite exhausted when I heard his voice from across the door. " Avery " he said in his mischievous tone "Mr. Phill..Wh..what are you doing here? At this time?" I asked, picking up my bag. "I' m here for work, you know " he said smiling at home, his belly bulging from his tight outfit, his receding hairline showing more signs of his age. "Mr. Phill, I'm heading home now, I can't talk to you " I said walking away from him hastily. "Goodnight, " I added, trying to move away from his side as he tried to block the exit. "I'm trying to have a conversation with you, don't throw me off like that" he said in a harsh tone. "Goodnight" I said again, this time showing how serious I was. "Let' s have a talk, okay, my wife will know nothing " he said, grabbing my hand. "Leave me alone!" I yelled, making sure they 'd be people to hear me, even though everyone was already done with the day ' s job and it was closing time, it knew it wasn't empty. "Is everything alright?" Someone called from the exit door, I quickly bolted towards the door, pushing his rather bulky body to the side as I ran across. I was sure he was planning to see me again, I wasn't. My apartment wasn't so far from work, I usually took the train and walked down to my building, which wasn't very inconvenient as it gave me time to think and blow off steam. I strolled towards the train station, and right when I got there I felt my phone vibrate in my purse. I ignored it because it was probably Mr. Phil wanting to harrass me again, or try to persuade me to be his side piece. But when the phone rang the second time, I just had to check, I saw the caller ID read; "Kail" my younger brother. "Sis, you have to come home, it' s urgent" Kail, my brother said on the phone. "Did something happen?" I said already turning around and lesving the train station to stop a taxi. "Yes, but I canmt explain, you just have to get here " Kail said with the urgency in his voice. I boarded a taxi and quickly headed to my father' s house, hoping for the worst and the worst, I did see. The couch turned upside down, the door broken, things destroyed around the house, like there was an earthquake. "What happened here?" It escaped from my lips, my bags dropping to the floor, and the expression on my face beyond shocked. my father paused in his attempt to put things in order. "It' s.. it' s " he stammered. "Dad, I want to know what happened here!" I exclaimed demanding an answer, with anger in my voice. "There were some really bad men, they destroyed the place talking about some loan" my little brother said as he stood behind the dining table, in fear. "Kail, what are you doing there? Get inside " my father ordered, his voice was faint bit firm and my brother listened immediately. "You took a loan? When? And why? Oh and how?" I asked questions demanding answers all at once. "Three years ago, for your mum' s surgery " he said, with pain and shame in his voice, I was forced to remember how much my mother ' s death took a toll on my father. "From the Dark horse gang " he added. "You were in school, I didn't want you to find out this way " he said in a sad tone, picking up the CDs he normally listens to. "I'm sorry Avery, I disappointed you " he said, standing up to walk away. "No you didn't dad" my anger subsided, I was no longer angry at him but at the monsters who ruined our home. "How much is it" I said with a mix of fear and anticipation, I needed to know how I could bring my family out of our despair. "Eighteen million dollars " he said and I was begond shocked. Where was I going to get eighteen million dollars? That' s more than the money I'll make even if I worked 50years in my job. "I'll see what I can do tomorrow " I said with a very low voice, and walked to my room with my face full of despair like I had seen a ghost. "We 're doomed" I said under my breath.

"Lucien, let's get a divorce," I said in a peremptory tone that was long overdue, the most decisive farewell to this absurd marriage. We had been married for exactly three years-three years that, for me, were filled with nothing but endless loneliness and torment. For three years, the husband who should have stood by my side through every storm, Lucien Sullivan, had completely disappeared from my life as if he had never existed. He vanished without a trace, leaving me alone to endure this empty, desolate marriage. Today, I finally received his message: "I'm back. Come pick me up at the airport." When I read his words, my heart leapt with joy, and I raced to the airport, thinking that he finally understood my love and was coming back to me. But his cruelty was far worse than I could have ever imagined-he was accompanied by a pregnant woman, and that woman was Carla, my closest and most trusted friend. In that moment, all of my previous excitement, all my hope, and all of our shared laughter and tears turned into the sharpest of daggers, stabbing into my heart and leaving me gasping for air. Now, all I want is to escape from this place that has left me so broken-to lick my wounds in solitude. Even if these wounds will remain with me for the rest of my life, I refuse to have anything to do with him ever again. He should know that it was his own hand that trampled our love underfoot, that his coldness and betrayal created this irreparable situation. But when he heard those words, he desperately clung to this broken, crumbling marriage, unwilling to let it end-almost as though doing so could rewind time and return everything to how it used to be. "Aurora, come back. I regret everything!" Regret? Those simple words stirred no emotion in me-only endless sadness and fury. My heart let out a frantic, desperate scream: It's too late for any of this!
