THE CEOS HIRED WIFE

Avalynn shut the large door to the living room behind her as she made her way upstairs, heading for her room. She was tired from the day's work as it was very hectic at the restaurant today, being a Friday.

"Just a little more time Amelia, I'm still waiting for the right time to tell her," Avalynn heard this familiar voice say as she passed through Amelia's room.

She halted for a moment as she became interested and pressed her ears to the door.

"The right time?? So when is the right time Dylan? I cannot handle this anymore. Don't you see the way she stares at you??" She heard Amelia respond.

Avalynn's heart skipped. Dylan? No way. Dylan.. what was.. no. In Amelia's room? Did she mishear? Her heart started hammering so fiercely in her chest like a pestle striking a mortar.

"Okay okay, I will break it off with her tomorrow. I was done with her since I met you anyway. I'll pick you over and over again Amelia" She heard Dylan say again.

Avalynn stumbled backwards a bit, panting so hard and loud as she heard the door to Amelia room open. She instantly dropped her bag and hurried down the stairs into the living room.

She couldn't handle it, she couldn't bear to see Dylan's face.

She refused to accept it and couldn't believe it either. Dylan and Amelia..having an affair??! No way!

While she was sprinting with her heart pounding in her chest and tears clouding her eyes, she struck a familiar figure.

"Watch where you're going illegitimate!" Marvy, her youngest step sister responded.

Avalynn stopped, staring downwards, with her hands held backwards. It seemed like her heart would jump out of her chest as tears streamed freely down her face.

"Did you see a ghost" Marvy inquired, displaying no trace of empathy even when she noticed that Ava was in tears.

Avalynn couldn't keep it in any longer. She collapsed to the ground and began weeping.

"Why? Why? Whyyyy?? Just what did I do so wrong?" She mumbled amidst crying.

"Will you stop disturbing the peace of the house, you fool?!" It was Amelia.

Avalynn glanced in the voice's direction and saw Dylan locking hands with Amelia. In as much as she was an illegitimate child, that was her blood. How could Dylan do this to her?

"How could you?" The words slipped her lips as she disregarded Amelia's remarks, rose and moved towards Dylan staring at him.

"Dylan, please tell me this is a prank.. this isn't happening. You are doing this on purpose to trick me right?"

Dylan grinned, he turned to Amelia who was already staring up at him, he drew her face close with her chin and gave her a very deep passionate kiss right there in front of Avalynn.

Pecking Amelia's cheeks, he turned to face Avalynn with the sneer still on his face, "Does it still look like a trick to you.... Avalynn?"
