Her hands were wrapped around his torso and her head was on his bare chest. His fresh mint flavour scent was calming her nerves.

The direct contact with his bare self was giving her a different experience. Her feeling was like because of shyness 'would get away from him or hide in his arms.'

After staying in his arms for a while, she abruptly asked him. "What did you do to the girls who took the place of maids in our mansion?"

He was already ready for that question because he knew she would ask it. "They both are in hell right now."

She firstly gasped and then asked, "You must have punished them before you killed them."

"No! I shoot them directly."

"I do not believe it. Not after seeing Clara's condition."

"But I'm not lying." And that was the White lie. He knew she much she got herself in shock when she saw Clara's condition. So he didn't tell her that those two girls were eaten by his men like hungry wolves and then his men killed them very brutally.

The scream of the girl and begging for death were still ringing in his ears.

If they hadn't compared Avery to shit that Sunday, Alex would have killed them easily. Alex wanted to kill Clara in the same way but he wanted to show Avery that Clara was no one to him and that no one could take Avery's place in his life. But for such stuff, he never needs to touch their bodies.

A few moments later he broke the embrace. "I have to get dressed."

"Yes." she shuttered as not wanting to meet his gaze. Her eyes were cast down as she didn't dare to look at his half-naked body.

After kissing her forehead, he went for a walk in the closet and returned in a few minutes wearing a black T-shirt and grey sweatpants. When he returned, Avery was still standing near the washroom door.

"Darling, What happened. Why are you still standing there?" He said as he reached bed which caused Avery to return from her dream world.

Alex was ready to go to bed but when he saw the messy condition of the bed he put his hand on his head. "What did you do?" He asked Avery who was now standing beside him.

"I'm sorry. I'll clean it up now. " She was about to bend over to remove the bedsheet but Alex put his hand on her belly and stopped her.

"Hold on. What are you doing This is not a big deal?" He said pointing his finger at the bed full of pieces of chips. "I'll call the maid." He called Mrs Kim but she was not feeling well so she sent another maid to her place.

When the maid stepped into the master bedroom, she was stunned to see the interior of the room. As she was recently joined it was her first time in their bedroom. She was almost Avery's age. When she stepped into the room, Avery gave her a light smile and pointed to the bed.

She removed the bedsheet and spread the fresh bedsheet on the bed after asking Avery. Her job was done but still, she was reluctant to leave because she wanted to get a glimpse of Alex. But to her bad that Alex had gone to the balcony to attend the call.

"Hey, girls you know who is going to come to university today." Raina's sudden outburst caused Avery to split the water out of her mouth. And she began to cough very badly.

"Oh god," Emily quickly began to rub Avery's back. " Raina are you out of your mind. thank god we are not in the canteen." Emily whisper yelled at Raina and they heard a familiar voice, "what happened."

They looked at the voice and there David was standing. But he was not alone. He had company. Emily was about to open her mouth to tell him when Avery grabbed her hand. She had stopped coughing completely now and she looked normal.

"Emily, This is not a big deal." And she turned to Raina, who was already standing with her head down due to the gilt. "And what you were saying."

Raina lifted her face and said sadly looking at Avery. "I am sorry. I didn't mean it."

"It's ok now continue your news."

Raina's mood was spoiled but because of Avery's interest, she regained her energy. And she decided at that moment that she would never enter again like this way.

"You know Yolanda Harper."

"Isn't she is the famous highly paid model and actress. And also the CEO of the famous beauty brand." A guy who was David's company said stepping into the conversation.

" You are right but who are you. I haven't seen you before. And you look like Chinese."

"Yes, I am from China but my whole family settled here."

"Oh sorry, I did not introduce you." David said apologizing, "This is Wang Lei from the Science Department. And Lei. Those are my friends Raina, Avery and Emily."

"Nice to meet you, Wang Lei." Avery and Emily said together.

" You can just call me Lei. Wang is my family name." Hearing this, a question mark appeared on the face of the trio, to which Wang Lie immediately replied. "We use our family name as the first name and then the given name."

"Is that so?" Raina said.

The three were thankful that David added another friend into their group. Wang Lei was a guy of five feet and nine inches high with a strong physique.

"Yolanda is in the lead role in the movie that will be going to be shot in our university."

Yola was from a wealthy and respectable family. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth but over time she had converted the spoon into gold. She was a perfect example of beauty plus brain plus strong personality. The company she started at the age of twenty-one had reached a high peak in the market today.
