"Don't worry, I'd excuse myself if that's what you want," Alex exclaimed.
Before he could get up, she stopped him by saying;
" Can you assign a maid to bring me clothes from my room?"
Alex walked towards the walk-in closet and opened it for her to see.
" Your clothes are already here?" he said with a smile.
Avery furrowed her brows.
What does he mean her clothes were already here? Did he transfer everything from her room to this room? She looked around, sure enough, her belongings were spread around the room. How didn't she catch that?
" Why didn't you ask me before doing that?" she snapped.
" We are officially married, Avery. What's wrong with me bringing your clothes to my room?"
Avery scoffed, she wrapped herself with the duvet before she stood in front of him.
" We aren't officially married, Amexander Gibson. I must admit, last night was amazing but that doesn't give you the right to do something and not ask me. I also learnt the truth about Charles and my mom."
The tension in the air became suffocating. Avery wrapped her arms around her. The statement came out wrong. However, she had already said it and she couldn't change it.
Alex stared at her with bloodshot eyes. He clenched his fists and tightened his jaw.
"Was that the only reason you could come up with?" he asked in a low tone.
Shivers ran down her spine and she stepped back.
" I paid the debt with my body, Alex. I'm grateful for what you've done for my mom. I can protect my mother. Let's just end everything."
A low chuckle left his throat.
" You want me to divorce you? You creaking think last night was some child's play?" he held her arms as he asked those questions.
"I'm your first and last, Avery Gibson. I'm not leaving this marriage, not now or ever. Can't you see I love you? This marriage means a lot to me, Avery." his voice cracked.
"Please don't make this difficult for both of us." Last night met and we were both done with each other. I'm going to pay for your time."
Alex tightened his grip around her arms. Before he could utter a word, a knock was heard.
" We are not done," Alex growled.
Avery raised her brows before she retreated to the bathroom
