"And that student is Miss Avery Miller." Avery was shocked to hear her name because she had not submitted an article. Then she remembered something and she understood everything. Raina and Emily approached her that day and asked her to write down what she thought about Trust. At that time she did not pay attention to the paper bunch but now she realized that paper bunch was authorized by College. The college already had handwriting samples of all students so that they could identify whether it was written by student or not.

"I would like to invite President Alexander on stage to honour Avery." Hearing this, Avery gets another shock and Clora's body started exploding with anger about Avery. She had tried so many times to kill Avery but every time Alex stops her. Alex always tells her that Avery is a pawn for them.

As Alex was about to get up from his seat, Clora grabbed his hand.

"I want to come with you."

"Ok let's go."

Alex was standing on the stage with his full height. Clora stood beside him. Avery's heart bits increased as she gets every step. In a few moments, she was standing in front of Alex.

She was still in a daze.

When Alex looked at her after honouring her, she looked like she was lost somewhere. They were standing on stage. Avery was on the right hand of Alex and Clora was on the left hand. But the difference was that Avery was standing a little away from Alex and Clora's arm was in Alex's arm.

Photographers were taking their photos. "What are you thinking Avery." Alex suddenly asked her. But Avery answered his sudden question in a very cool manner.

"I am thinking about this photo that the photographer is taking. I will make a photo frame of this photo and will write on that 'Me my dear husband and his mistress.' And I'll hang that photo frame in our bedroom."

Alex was stunned by her words. But the Clara standing next to him was red in rage. People in that hall was looking at them but no one knew what was going on stage.

On other hand, Avery did not understand that in her body where the courage came from.

...

The sound of music was reverberating throughout the hall.

After honouring the student who won the competition, everyone was allowed to enjoy the party.

Three girls were standing in the corner with cold drinks in their hands.

"Avery how did you get inside. I had your invitation card." Emily asked her. Because Emily had told Avery to call her after she reaching the entrance of the hall. But Avery didn't call her for an invitation card, so Emily wanted to know the reason behind it.

"I was about to call you but at that moment brother, Ethan called me and let me enter."

"Is that so, and Ave one more thing you're looking breathtaking beautiful today."

"Yes, Avery! Emily is talking right you are looking so much prettier. Not only beautiful but you also looking hot and sexy."

"Ha ha....Raina is correct."

"Oh, you both shut up don't make fun with me."

Rain and Emily were making fun of Avery. Avery's cheeks sometimes turned red because of their teasing.

Despite standing in the corner the three girls were the centre of attraction. The maximum gaze in that hall was on their every move. But sadly the three were not aware of that. And that's what makes them apart from everyone because when they were with each other, they would completely forget what was going on around them.

Alex and Clsra were talking to the guest. Alex was introducing her to everyone as his girlfriend. Max had gone out to talk to someone on the phone. Avery's heart ached every time when she saw Alex and Clara together. But she was trying to ignore them.

While the three friends were chatting, Avery felt someone's hand on her shoulder and when she turned around, she was surprised because that person was none other than her childhood friend David. And in a short movement, her surprise turned to happiness. Before Avery could say anything to him, he hugged her tightly.

Hugging in front of everyone made Avery feel a little embarrassed. Alex becomes very furious when he saw Avery in another man's arm.

He thought that he would kill David just by looking at him. Besides Alex, there were two more eyes, who was watching Avery and David from the beginning But instead of anger, there was a pain in those eyes. The sadness he felt in his heart, was clearly visible in his eyes.

And that person was Lucas Kai. Although he was very sad seeing Avery and David together, he decided to stay calm and took a decision without losing patience. He immediately sent his assistant to listen to the conversation between Avery and David.

‌When he learns from his assistant that Avery and David are childhood friends, he became very happy because he fell in love with Avery when he saw her first time.

Lucas quickly pulled out his mobile and made a call. The person from another side picked up call within two rings.

"Mom, finally I found a daughter in law for you."

Lucas' mother was excited to hear this.

"Who is she? Where is she? Is she look beautiful? How is her nature?" His Mom started raining incessant questions on him.

"Sorry, I forgot to ask her name, what is her name, my son?"

"Mom slow down. Just be patient. All I can tell you right now is that I finally found daughter-in-law, for you. Right now I don't know anything about her. I'll tell you later." Not once he looked away from Avery as he was talking with his mother.

On the other side, Avery was introducing David to her friends.

She was overjoyed when David told her that he is her classmate. David had gone to Avery's house one day but he understood from her mother that she did not live there. Avery's mother lies to David that Avery lives with her friend. Because Alex would have told her in advance not to tell anyone about his and Avery's marriage. That's when David realizes that Avery is in the same university where he is.

When Avery asks David why he didn't come to college from past two months, he tells her that he had taken two months off and that he was in a very important work but now he will come regularly to college.

In the midst of all this, Emily felt that someone has been looking at her and Avery for a long time. The three were looking at the three in the hall, but Emily felt something different. Although many people in the hall look at the trio, Emily feels something different. She feels someone familiar around her.

Emily leaves, saying I'll be back in a little while, and she starts to move in the direction where the mind is taking her. She walks into the corridor of the hall. She looks around but sees no one. Her gaze suddenly falls on the garden outside. There she sees someone she knows. She runs in that direction but when she reaches there she sees no one. Just as she was about to start searching again, someone called her. The person who was calling her was Alex.

"Walking alone is not right when you look so beautiful. Go inside." And with that, she quickly went inside.

After Emily went inside, Alex approached the big tree.

"Thanks to me, otherwise, she would have seen you today."

"Hm..." That person only answered like this.

"Did that incompetent give any information."

"Yes."

"Okay, then I come at night." The man who was trying to hide from Emily was the one who stopped Alexander from hitting the unconscious man in the underground base.

...

The couple dances were started in the hall. Lucas wanted to do the first dance with Avery, but before he can get close to her, David takes her to dance.

"David what are you doing. You know I can't dance."

"Don't take tension. We are not participating in competitions."

Clara was furious to see that Avery was getting everyone's attention. She took Alex to dance. Couple Dance began. All the couples were dancing along with the music. A few times later it was time to change partners. Just as Avery was about to move, Clora stepped on her sari. So Avery lost control of her body and someone grabbed her just as she was about to fall.

Avery had already closed her eyes for fear of falling. But when she felt nothing, she opened her eyes. And in front of her eyes was Alex's face. His strong arms were wrapped around her delicate waist. She could feel his touch. His face was very close to hers. His beautiful lips were just an inch away from her red lips.

Her hands were on his shoulders.

"Are you ok?" He asked in a soft voice. She nodded in agreement.
