A smile tugged at her lips when she heard how he referred to
her. His wife. Has he been referring her to that all this time?
Avery bent in front of him.
" Tell me more about her."
Alex chuckled before saying;
" She is funny, sassy and everything. But she hates me."
His lips pouted cutly.
" How so?"
" I forced her to marry me. I.… I did a lot of stuff to keep her to myself." Alex hesitated.
The room fell silent. Avery cleared her throat and signalled the driver who had followed her in to come.
"Let's get him to the car."
She nearly lost her temper, Alex refused to move, which was driving her crazy.
"Stop this shenanigans. It's me Avery." she cracked.
With no other choice, they had to drag him to the car. Avery nodded to the driver. Her hand wrapped around her hair as she tied it into a bun. She lowered herself and grabbed his arms and the driver grabbed his legs.
" Are you sure Mrs Avery?" the driver asked.
Sweat formed on his forehead. E trembled as he held his master's legs.
" Yes. If he doesn't want to move. Then we have to carry him."
He cleared his throat before following her lead. After all, she was the lady boss.

Her hand rested on her chest. She kept panting heavily. Avery turned her gaze to the man sleeping on her shoulder. She nudged her shoulder to push him away, but he wasn't budging.
Avery rested her head on the window, as the car took off. This wasn't how she planned her night or married life. Did she even want to get married? She fumbled with the necklace around her neck. She convinced herself she was doing this for the mother.
Reality was harder to ignore. She couldn't ignore everything that was happening, and the fact that Alexander kept playing with her hair. She turned her head towards him. A light smile tugged at her lips. This was the man she used to quarrel with. The man who made her life a living hell when she used to work with him, and today he was her husband. Her heart burst into a weird reaction when she thought about the name husband. He referred to her as his wife.
Her brows knitted together and a frown formed on her face. She couldn't catch the statement but she caught the name.
" Charles…. I'm going to kill you. " Alex muttered.
Avery positioned herself to give her access to what he was saying.
" Alex, what did Charles do?" she asked in a soft toneA
The last time she overheard the boys talking about Charles, she didn't get the chance to hear everything. She had been confused about how Alex had her mother. Edison Hospital was renowned one and no one could take a patient from there without authorised permission.
Alex told her everything Charles had done to the patients at his hospital.
Her stomach flipped. She wanted to throw up the dinner she had consumed. She gave her mother to a maniac. A psychopath. She runs her hand through her hair. This can't be happening. Her mother was about to be sold at the black market. The hell? Tears streamed down her face. She was hating the wrong person. She wanted to scream but she needed to be civil. She was going to have her revenge on Charles and she meant that.
