It was seven o'clock in the morning. Avery was walking around the garden. She looked like a goddess of beauty in a long white dress. The light rays of the sun were falling on her body and adding her beauty. Her long brown hair was shining even brighter with the sun's rays. She was walking in the garden, engrossed in herself.

She was missing her father so much. She never had thought about her marriage, but she always thought that her husband should be like her father. Her father was an ideal person for her. She had never dreamed about a rich man but she must have dreamed about a loving and loyal husband.

She had regretted marrying Alex but then she thought that if she had not married him then her brother would not have survived. At that time, only Alex had stretched his hand in front of her for Liam's treatment. The hand she held without a second thought. Somewhere she was thankful to Alex.

But there was fact in all of this that no one could deny. And that fact was, she loved Alex very much. She could not hate him even if he treated her badly.

After marriage, she could not stay at her mother's house as she wished. Every time when she went to her mother's house, Alex would bring her back again her will. It didn't matter to him what her condition was. It didn't matter to him if she was asleep or awake. But she was very thankful that she had two very good friends.

She was in her thoughts. She didn't know that Alex had been watching her every move from the distance since she was in the garden.

Alex had a cigar in his fingers and his eyes glued on her. He was intensely watching her. Clara was asleep on the bed but his full focus was on Avery's every move. He knew she was in her thoughts. He puffed in the air and then looked at Clara. Her bare body was covered with a blanket.

.....

After spending her free time in the garden, Avery went to the mansion. She felt refreshed after taking fresh air in the fresh morning. She was in her happy mood.

But in the next second seeing Alex and Clara having breakfast together her happy mood ran away wagging his tail.

Alex was looking like a model in a white shirt and navy blue trouser who was sitting for big photoshoot. Clara was clinging to him beside him.

Controlling her feelings Avery decided not to pay attention to them. She walked into the kitchen.

"You saw her Attitude?" Clara said tapping her fingers on the table. She was angry again because of Avery's behaviour. She didn't manage to let Avery down this time again. She failed again.

The anger inside her was taking the form of a volcano. She wanted to kill Avery. She couldn't control herself and picked up a jar of water and threw it away.

"Crash...." The jar was transformed into small pieces as soon as it hit the floor.

"Calm down my love. This is just the beginning of a very big game so don't be like this just because of a little ant. The real game is yet to come." Regardless of who is looking at them, Alex said while kissing her on her painted cheek.

"Yes, you are right." With that Clara put her hand on his shoulder and sat on his lap. Her phone rang as she wrapped her arms around his neck and was about to kiss his natural pink lips with her red painted lips.

When she saw the caller ID flashing on the screen of the mobile, the expression on her face changed completely.

"What happened? Why did you stop kissing? This phone call is more important to you than your kiss." He words were seductive but still, there was no change in his facial expressions.

"O, dear. Don't be angry. This phone call is a bit important and I have to go now. See you at the airport." She leaned towards his and was about to take a small kiss on his lips but suddenly Alex put his hand on her mouth and stopped her in the middle.

"Why?" Alex's sudden move created a question mark on her face.

"It is your punishment because you stopped in mid and you will not kiss me unless I give you permission."

"Ok my lord, as your wish." saying this she quickly gave him a small kiss on his cheek. "I have to go now." With that, she marched towards the main door.

After she left, Alex looked at the kitchen door with his sharp gaze. Seeing the white cloth near the door created a smirk on his pink lips. He got up from his chair and headed for the kitchen.

Meanwhile

Ignoring them, Avery went into the kitchen and put all the ingredients on the counter to make a veg sandwich for herself. She started making sandwiches but she couldn't because she pictures of Alex and Clara roaming in front of her eyes. She was trying to focus but her mind was stuck on Alex.

"What they are doing now? Can I see what they are doing? No no no It is a bad thing to keep an eye on another."

She finally decided to hide behind the door and keep an eye on them. She hid herself to be door and looked at the two of them. She couldn't hear clearly what Alex and Clara were talking about.

But she must have understood from Clara's behaviour that Clara was very angry about something and Alex was trying to calm her down.

"I never thought that my Cold Blooded Husband is so gentle. And what has happened to these bad women. Why she is so much annoying? Why did this scoundrel women break a nice water jar this time? I want to grab her hair and want to smash her head on the floor. Control Avery. You are not like her. You are thinking bad for others." She was looking at Alex and Clara and talking to herself.

Looking Clara approaching Alex's lips she felt a sharp pain in her heart just like someone stabbed a pointed knife in her heart.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she saw Clara's lips close to Alex's. She was about to burst in tears but seeing Alex put his palm on Clara's lips, her pearl-like tears halted in a midway.

She felt a little joy in her pure heart.

While she was thinking, she heard strong footsteps. when she looked from the door. She saw Alex coming towards the kitchen. She quickly knocked over the counter and started making a sandwich.

She was trying to make it, but she couldn't. Sometimes A jar of salt fell from her hand on the floor, sometimes the knife fell down due to her loose grip. Alex was watching all her troubles standing in the doorway. She knew that Alex was standing in the doorway and looking at her, and that was the reason she was so upset.

Seeing her in trouble, Alex turned his steps towards her. Avery's heart was pounding as Alex stepped forward.

Unknowingly, she took the knife in place of the spoon. Alex grabbed her hand as she was about to press her thumb on the blade of the knife.

"Relax. don't need to pretend." In his right hand was her right hand with which she held the knife. His left hand was on the counter. His firm chest was against her small back. His breath was tickling her neck.

"I help you." With that, he released the knife from her hand and placed it on the counter.

He stood in the same position and started making sandwiches for her. The touch of his hand to hers made her feel like the current was running through her body. She immediately withdrew her hand. Soon Alex made a sandwich for her.

He turned to Avery and brought the sandwich close to her lips. "Eat," He said very politely and sweetly, Avery was about to take a bit of that sandwich when she remembered his and Clara's romantic scene some time ago.

She pushed his hand back.

"I don't want it."

"But why?"

"I can make my self."

Avery answered his question very quietly.

"Is there any problem with eating what I have made?"

"Yes, it is."

"Then tell me."

Alex wants an answer to his question. "Take that to your Clara." After talking with him, Avery left the kitchen and went towards the guest room. Seeing Avery's behaviour, Alex got very angry and he also went after her.

As she was about to cross the living room, Alex grabbed her hand. Seeing Alex in anger, all the servants in the mansion began to tremble with fear. Before Alex could say anything, they left Alex and Avery alone in the living room. Alex immediately hit her on the wall after all the servants gone. And attacked her soft lips. He started kissing her forcibly. She was trying to free herself but he would not let her go.
