Meanwhile

Thirteen-year-old Raina's brother was sitting in his wheelchair near the window. In his small hand was a frame which he held close to his chest. There were tears in his eyes. After a while, he separated the frame from his chest and held it in front of his eyes. "Mom, today I met your little princess. She has not changed. She still looks the same as before. She looks much prettier than before. I know she recognized me in first look but after many years seeing me alive she got shocked and faint. Mom, you will be glad to hear that Max loves her dearly."

Some time ago Max took Raina to his room after she fainted. All the members of the family were shocked as to why all of a sudden she fainted. Raina's brother, who was in a wheelchair, began to worry about her. He also wanted to go with them when he saw Max was taking his sister to his room. But Max stopped him by signalling his eyes. Max had stopped him from coming so that no one could doubt on the relationship between him and Raina. And especially his aunt.

.....

It was noon and there was a lunch break in college. Three girlfriends were sitting in the canteen with their fourth friend. After many days of trouble and misunderstanding, the trio had resumed college today. They were having their lunch with David in the college canteen. The four of them were laughing and chatting during their lunch. They were so engrossed in their world that they did not know how badly Violet was looking at them.

By the time Avery was absent from college, Violet was overjoyed. During those days she tried her best to get closer to Alex. And in her eyes, somehow she was successful because Alex spoke to her. But after Avery came, everything went the same as before.

Avery's existence was piercing her like a needle and she wanted to end that Avery's existence by hook or crook.

Violet was so busy looking at Avery that she didn't notice that Lily was looking at her with big eyes. Not everything was right between Lily and Avery but still, she never created any problems for Avery. And she didn't understand why Violet was behind Avery.

Ever since Raina and Emily found out that Avery was pregnant, they have been taking special care of her. David was confused by seeing that two of them worrying about Avery very much. He had no idea what had happened to them that made them so possessive for Avery.

Raina asked her as Avery suddenly got up from her seat. "What happened?"

"Hmm. I would like something spicy. It's all very tasteless."

"WHAT?" Raina, Emily and David said together.

"But I find it all tasty. And all this is to your liking. Firstly you have ordered all this and now you are not eating." David said pointing towards the dishes with his chopstick. "These dishes is your favourite." He again said.

"Yes, I know it is all my Favorite. But all of a sudden I don't feel like eating it because it doesn't taste as good as usual. I want to eat something spicy and I'm going to bring it."

"But too much spice is not good for your health..." Before Emily could complete her sentence, Avery ran from there and went straight to the counter. Avery was waiting for her order near the counter and was unaware of what was happening in the canteen.

All the students in the canteen were muttering at the sight of three very handsome young men. And they were none other than Alex, Noah and Max. When Violet's eyes fell on Alex, her heart rate increased and she began to pray that Alex would come and sit at her side table.

When the canteen manager saw Alex's majestic figure in the canteen, he quickly got up from his seat. He went in front of Alex and bowed down. "Welcome Mr. President, Young master Max and Mr. Noah. Please sit down." He gestured to them, pointing to the chair, and said respectfully.

"Hmph," Alex said without looking at him. And as he was about to sit on the chair his gaze went to Avery who was standing near the counter. She was hitting her toe on the ground while waiting for her order. Seeing her, he understood that she was very impatient because she had been standing near the counter for a long time. Seeing all that, he clenched his fist and his aura became dark.

He then turned his gaze towards the whole canteen. He saw Raina, Emily and David were sitting in a corner of the canteen and their eyes fixed on Avery. To think that there was someone behind him to take care of his wife made his facial expressions pleasing.

He moved his eyes at the canteen counter again and looked at the staff. The canteen staff stood in a line waiting for their manager's command. The same manager who was stood by his side to take their orders. He was angry to see her standing at the canteen counter for a long time but he knew that there was nothing related with the canteen manager or the staff. 'This is all its effect.'

He gestured to the manager with his index finger and the manager bent down. "Yes, Mr. President." He said very softly and respectfully.

"The girl who is standing at the counter, first give her her order then come to take our order."

"Ok Mr. President." After saying these words, the manager came back to the counter and gave her an order. She was very happy to see the tray of spicy food in her hand and her mouth watered. Her happiness was evident on her face which made Alex wonder that what Avery had ordered which made her so happy.

He felt curious about that and got up from his seat. He buttoned his coat and took a long step towards her with one hand in his pocket. Avery was busy looking at the tray and licking her lips not aware that Alex was coming towards her.
