When Lucas saw Avery in class while in language lecture, he was overjoyed. He just wanted to go and hug her but he composed himself. He didn't want to get her into any trouble. He just wanted to keep her safe.

...

Already fifteen days had passed since Alex went on a business trip. He could have reached the mansion at any time.

It was half-past eight in the night. Avery was standing in her Gallery looking at the black sky. Aiden and Amaya had returned to the main mansion a day earlier.

Alex hadn't called her during these fifteen days. She would always check her phone to see if Alex had called or texted her. But each and every time, she was disappointed. Even though she didn't feel alone that days because of Aidan and Amaya, she was still remembering Alex.

She was a little excited because Alex was coming home after fifteen days. She was also happy because in these fifteen days there was no news about Alex and Clara's romance on News channel.

After half an hour of enjoying the cool breeze of the night, she returned to the room. She closed her eyes after lying on the bed. She had been blindfolded for a long time but could not sleep. Because she could not sleep, she decided to open a class chatting group. After opening the group, she started scrolling down. She started to see if anyone in the group shared important information.

While scrolling, a message caught her attention.

#Have you ever seen Sir Alex and his girlfriend Miss Clara's New?#

This message made Avery's heart beat faster. Her hands began to tremble. That message was shared by the girl in her class.

After that message, there were twenty messages.

#Yes#

#I saw it#

#Me too#

#I read the news.#

#watched the video.#

Avery opened the main page of the news channel without a moment's delay. Her breathing halted as soon as the page opened. Her body began to tremble on the bed. Tears welled up in her eyes and started following down.

#There was number 1 treading news was....#

"Miss Clara, the girlfriend of world-renowned CEO and Chairman of ELIZA Group Mr. Alexander Hill, has made it clear that they will be getting married in next month."

After reading this news, only two words came out from her mouth, " WHY ALEX?" And she threw her mobile phone on the wall which hit the wall and turned into small pieces.

The news made Avery's body tremble. After a while, her body became completely numb. That night was the worst night ever for her.

The night was even worse for her than the night she saw Alex and Clara together.

The only difference was that she did not faint this time.

Without sleeping for a minute, she kept crying all the time.

The pain in her heart was beyond any limit.

...

At six in the morning, she put her feet on the floor from the bed. Her legs were stiff from sitting in the same position all night. She leaned against the bed and stood up. Her body was completely tired and she was having a lot of trouble while walking. Slowly stepping forward, she moved closer to the closet.

She packed all her clothes in one bag and all her books and other stuff in the other bag. She slowly walked over to the door and opened it.

All the servants in the mansion woke up and were busy with their work. When Avery looked down from above, she saw Mr. Kim in the living room.

"Grandpa." She called him first but her voice did not reach him.

"Grandpa." Her second voice did not reach him as it was a very faint voice. Crying all night made it difficult for her to speak. Her throat was hurting a lot. The third time she regained her full strength.

"Grandpa."

When Mr. Kim looked in the direction of the voice, he saw Avery.

"What happened to her voice?" Mr. Kim thought Avery's voice was not normal.

"What happened?" Instead of giving his question's answer, Avery beckoned him to come upstairs. When Mr. Kim went upstairs, he was stunned by looking Avery's dishevelled hair and swollen eyes.

Avery took him into the room before he asked her what had happened to her. she pointed towards her packed bag.

"Grandpa Kim, These two bags are to be carried in the guest room." Mr. Kim had no idea what was going on in Avery's head.

"I'm going to the guest room. Bring this bag to the guest room." In her voice, he can clearly tell that something big has happened. Before she could walk out the door, Mr. Kim grabbed her arm.

"Child, What happened?"

Avery faced him. "Please do not ask anything me this time." Saying this, she left the bedroom and went downstairs to the guest room.

...

Avery asked Mrs. Kim to make a ginger tea for her. The sudden change in Avery's behaviour caused the Kim couple to become anxious. After making ginger tea, Mrs. Kim went to the guest room with a cup of tea for Avery. When Mrs. Kim went inside Avery was putting her clothes in the closet.

Mrs. Kim put cup on the table and went to help her. She put hand on Avery's shoulder. "Drink the tea before it cools down. I do the rest work."

"Hmm..." There was no expression on Avery's face but her eyes were screaming for how much we cried last night.

After the closet was set, Mrs. Kim asked Avery what had happened. But in return for her question, she met only Avery's silence. Mrs. Kim also failed to get the word out from her mouth.

Avery sat on the bed after settling all stuff. She put her eyes on bed rest and closed her eyes. She suddenly remembered something that opened her eyes. She quickly got out of bed and headed into her old bedroom.

She started looking for something on the side of the closet where her clothes were kept. When she found nothing there, she turned towards Alex's side. She also found nothing there. Lines of anxiety began to form on her head. She began to search every corner of the bedroom. "I remember I kept it in the closet. But now it was not even whole room."

When Avery was looking in the drawer next to the bed, suddenly, "Are you looking for this?"

When she looked in the direction of the voice Clara was standing in the doorway . She was wearing a very short and sexy skin-tight dress as usual. There was a Smirk on her painted lips. Seeing her, anger erupted inside Avery like a volcano. Her eyes immediately turned red. She clenched her fists.

"Where did you find this?"

" I can't find this. That day when you saw the two of us together and took your book and left the room. That same day I take it out of your cupboard." Clara pointed to her closet. Avery's eyes widened. She couldn't believe that Clara could do such a thing. Avery puts her hand in front.

"Give it me back"

" why. "

"What do you mean?"

" Look, Avery, I know this wedding chain are very important for you. But now it is no use, because Alex is not going to be your husband anymore. You must have seen the news." The wedding chain that Avery was looking from time was in the hands of Clara. And Clara was throwing the red box of that wedding chain in the air.

"clara give me back my wedding chain." Avery was now more irritated than ever.

"Your husband will not be yours. So what are you going to do with this wedding chain? Let it be for me . I will wear this chain after my wedding. If not yours, at least The wish of this wedding chain will be fulfilled. It's in this little box from so many days. Am I right Avery."

Avery takes a deep breath with her eyes closed and tries to calm her anger.

"Look Clara, Alex doesn't mean anything for me now. You both did what you had to do with me. I want this wedding chain back because I took it from my money."

"So Try to get this wedding chain out of my hand." With that Clara ran out of the room. Avery also ran after her and started trying to catch her. Avery's body was already completely weak and she was having trouble while running. Only one thing was important to her at that time and she was using her full strength for that. She only had a wedding chain in her head so she didn't even think that Clara had come to the mansion so Alex must have come too.

Clara ran straight towards the living room. Avery was also following her. Avery's speed was lower than before and her legs were starting to hurt. She was trying her best to catch Clara because she knew that if she didn't catch Clara today, she wouldn't get her chain back. Avery's attention was only on Clara as she descended the stairs. The arera's leg twisted as meditated on Clara.
