Chapter 3: Wishes for death Avery gave him a dirty glare. “What sort of question is that? I should be asking you!” The door
opened almost immediately and King walked in, with a wide smile on his face. “I knew you were always with men. I just don’tknow why grandfather wouldn’t trust me on it.” ” What the fuck are you saying!” Avery snapped. ” I know nothing. I don’t evenknow how this idiot got on my bed!” She argued. Smith smiled and took out his phone to take a shot. Grey was watching thedrama, unable to ascertain what was really happening. Avery got up quickly. ” Please, don’t do this. I have no idea how ithappened!” She pleaded and moved closer to him. Smith scoffed. ” Too late, I have already sent it to my grandfather.” “Damn!”Avery yelled and fell to the floor. She couldn’t stop the mad beating of her heart. The thought of how much her grandfather wouldbe disappointed in her ate her raw. “Hey! What am I doing here!” Grey yelled suddenly, finally able to locate his voice. At first, hethought he was dreaming. He remembered getting drunk but nothing else and wondered what could have happened. He lookedup at Grey.”Hey, you shouldn’t scream. You are caught up in this as well,” then, he looked down at Avery. “Save your tearssister,” Smith mocked. “Because grandfather will be here soon.” Avery looked up at Smith with surprise. “What do youmean?” “Well, grandfather stayed in the kingdom’s room yesterday night after I told him about the nonsense you were alwaysdoing behind his back.” ” But that was nonsense!” Avery snapped. ” I have never done this! And you know it!” “Well,” Smithshrugged. ” Maybe and maybe not.” Grey got out of bed and moved to the door. The door opened suddenly and some menrushed inside. Grey jerked back in fear, while Avery stood up to wipe off the tears that were on her cheeksalready. “Grandfather,” Smith called softly as an old man walked inside the room. There was a dark frown on his face as helooked at Avery. He slowly traced it to Grey and grimaced at the kind of clothes he was putting on. Lord Lucy looked back atAvery. “I’m disappointed, Avery.” “No, grandfather. It’s not what you think,” she protested helplessly. Lucy shook his head slightly.” You know the rule, Avery. Yet, you broke it.” Grey had slowly succeeded in getting to the door unnoticed and was about to walkout when the men blocked his way. “Where do you think you are going, young man?” Grey turned to look at Lucy, and his heartmade a skip. He didn’t even understand anything. It still seems like a dream to him. “From today henceforth, you will be my son-in-law.” “What! Why?” Grey yelled, unable to conceal his outburst. What the fuck happened? He was drinking a few hours agobut he’s suddenly an in-law? “What is that supposed to mean? How could you sleep with my granddaughter and you still havethe gut to say that? Were you going to sleep with her and run off?” Grey stared for a moment and realized that all gazes were onhim, except for Avery who was sobbing quietly. He cleared his throat meaningfully. “That’s not what I mean. I meant to say itshouldn’t be because I don’t even know her and nothing happened between us, and I’m sure of that.” Lucy glanced down at hisshorts. Grey followed the path of his gaze and sighed. He was busted already. He hadn’t noticed that he wasn’t even wearing atrouser. ” How dare you joke with me!” He screamed at him. “And for that, ” he looked up at one of the men. “Beat him up!” ”What!” Grey eyes almost went out of the socket. Grey had an argument at the tip of his mouth but the sudden slap that landedon his cheek robbed him of the words. He landed on the floor as several hands collided on his body, each hitting him so hard thatit felt like he might die. At once, he saw an image of him standing abreast someone else whose face he didn’t see. He jerked outas the men stepped aside. He coughed out blood and managed to look around the room. Lucy wasn’t in the room again and themen were walking out one after the other. Grey closed his eyes instantly when he realized he was feeling dizzy and he knew with
the pain coming from his nose means that it was broken. His body hurts so much that it felt like all his bones were allbroken. “Pitiful,” Smith mocked. “Avery, you should check your husband and make sure he’s not badly injured. So, you guyswon’t lose face for Robinson. You know you have to be at the party,” he laughed and finally strode out of the room. “What haveyou done to me!” Avery sobbed harder from behind him. Some men rushed in again and Grey’s heart skipped another beat. Atfirst, he thought they were back to give him another beating of his life. Instead, they moved to Avery. “Madam, your car is ready,”one of the men announced. Grey curled up into a fist of the ball, with pains rolling in him. Avery didn’t answer the man andsobbed for another moment before she finally stood up. She looked over at Grey. “I hate you so much for ruining my life,” shetook a step and stopped. ” One of my men will drive you home. He will be at your house tomorrow morning so we can go to theparty tomorrow morning. You should also go to the hospital for a check-up. My grandfather will kill you if you don’t come to theparty,” with that, she walked out of the room with some men except for one. Grey closed his eyes for another moment. He didn’teven want to get up but he knew he had to. He was truly hurt and maybe he would need to go to the hospital. The man in theroom didn’t hurry him up, which he was glad about. Grey slowly stood up but he coughed out more blood. Perhaps there wassomething else that had broken inside him. His heart had been shattered already but he knew something else had happened tohim. Perhaps he was going to die. Maybe he should. He was fed up of anyways.Some content on the website is uploaded by users. If it infringes on your rights, please contact us.
