Zeta nodded her head, removing her eyes from him in submission."Your plan about faking it, I don't think it'll work". She suddenly said.Davide frowned, "what do you mean?"Zeta was wearing a suit, she fished out an envelope from the inner pocket of her jacket and handed it over to Davide."He transferred you to the PR department. The leader there is someone who has an unspeakable loyalty to him. If you don't show up, he'll find out".Davide's frown grew deeper, "then how do I go about this?"Zeta shook her head, "I have no idea, but from the position where I've found myself, I'll try my hardest to look for anything that is out of the ordinary, anything that may expose the reason why he wants you out of this project".Davide nodded his head, "while in the PR department, I'll make sure to keep communication with Nicole so she'll fill me in on any details about the project, maybe there's something he doesn't want me to find out, a latent issue perhaps".Zeta shrugged, "perhaps. You jus

Davide was momentarily taken aback by what Ethan suddenly said. Then he remembered when Zeta had mentioned something about Derek and Lawrence being friends or something like that, but they surely knew each other.Still, he didn't want to assume anything and just decided to stay on a path that was neutral; neither wanting to believe that they indeed had a sort of friendship nor that they were nothing more than business partners.Davide's eyebrows furrowed, "how long have you known Uncle Lawrence?"Ethan shrugged, "since I was born. He mostly comes around during the weekends. Why are you looking him up?"Davide walked to where the boy was standing. His laptop had been placed on a table before he entered the bathroom. As he approached that area, he only casually closed his laptop to end the investigation of the child."I just had a few questions," Davide said nonchalantly."If you have any questions, you can ask me, there's nothing I don't know about Uncle Lawrence," Ethan bragged with s

Chapter 23
To say that Davide was skeptical about listening to Avery's words was an understatement, he didn't believe a word that came out of her mouth. He thought that whatever she said or did was all practiced and calculated for something better.Avery was a woman who cared only about herself and her vile mother who needed special blood to survive like she was some sort of vampire who could only feed off of his blood.Davide was in the elevator, looking at his reflection on the steel walls and wondering how on earth he stayed years in a marriage that never in any way benefited him. All he ever wanted was for her to love him.back, he believed wholeheartedly in patience, that if he gave her time, someday she would love him back.Unfortunately, that day never came, though he didn't grow tired of her, he didn't regret waiting for so long but what he regretted was putting a full stop on his life just to attend to her needs. He had such regrets because basically, she didn't deserve it; she made fun

Davide's eyes went round, he hadn't seen that coming. The news was rather astounding to him. However, no matter how much he hated Avery, he couldn't allow her just abort his first child."Why would you do that? That's unacceptable!" He yelled at her.Avery frowned, "don't you dare raise your voice at me!" She yelled back, "have you suddenly lost your senses?"Davide was infuriated, even till now Avery refused to acknowledge his stand in their godforsaken marriage."I have not lost my senses, I am only stating facts, I am claiming my right!"Avery chuckled and pointed a finger at him, "you have no rights whatsoever, and even if by chance you were to, you cannot yell at me. You are insignificant, you're only needed for your blood and the rest of you is useless. You are a wretched baffoon who should not be speaking a word of contrary after i have stated what I desire!"Davide shook his head, he could not stand for such insults, he looked around thw place but he could not find the right

Avery's chuckle was all Davide could hear after the doctor passed the information to them. He never thought that Avery had been telling the truth all along. He really thought the worst of her, but how could he not?Meanwhile, his mother in law had to remind everybody that she was awake now and that unfortunately she had heard the news."So you have a child for this clown, you're gonna abort such a disgrace right? It's even disgusting thinking of how the child came to be. You couldn't see a better man to.get you pregnant, it had to be this incorrigible disgrace?" The woman said with spite overflowing in her tone.Davide ignored her and came to, he turned to the doctor, "thank you very much doctor". They shook hands and the doctor left. Davide then turned back to Avery:"You're not aborting that baby. It's mine and I will take care of the both of you".Avery frowned whilst looking at him, wondering where the confidence came from. He was so.sure of himself that he could take care of them

Time flew by Davide and he was only brought back to reality by the sound of his stomach grumbling. It was only then did he realize that he had not had anything to eat all day and it was already lunch time.Davide stood up from his seat. He had been given a desk by Mia a few hours ago where he started working.The desk was medium sized and it was located by the best place in the whole department, a large window was positioned behind him and Davide could not be more grateful for the light and the view.The desk itself had a transparent cover in front of it where the computer sitting on his table rested on. There were several magazines on his table and also messy artworks that he had been scribbling so he could come up with an idea of what would be on the banner.His trip to the cafeteria was ruined by the sudden appearance of someone. Davide, who had been initially typing away on his phone whilst making his way to the cafeteria stopped when he saw a pair of black shiny, expensive looki

Davide found it exceptionally hard to peel his eyes from Cassie. The way her bright blue eyes stared at him with a soft, shy smile on her lips captivated him.For a moment, Davide forgot himself. It had to take Derek's hand on his shoulder to jolt him back to reality and remember that he was still in the midst of people and not just anyone but Cassie's parents.Davide forced out a smile, trying hard to cover up the embarrassment he was feeling. He stretched his hand out to Cassie; "Nice to meet you, I'm Davide".Cassie giggled lightly, but she took his hand in her own in the most graceful manner, "I know who you are".A confused look appeared on Davide's face, a poor show of the actual turmoil of discombobulation in his head. "I don't understand, you know me?"Cassie smiled at how ignorant Davide was, she only nodded her head at him, giving Derek the leeway to explain to his nephew how it is that they were acquainted without Davide's knowledge."Mr and Mrs Smythe are actually very go

Davide's finger hovered over the screen of the phone. He was visibly contemplating whether to answer or not.He had seen her earlier, his curiosity was eating at him, he pondered over every possible reason why Avery would be calling him all of a sudden.Cassie probably noticed his reluctance to answer the call. It ignited her inquisitiveness, "It seems you don't want to talk to her". Her voice brought Davide back to reality from the train of thoughts he had boarded. He chuckled slightly and shook his head, "that's not it" he lied. However, he answered the call."What took you so long to answer the phone?" Avery's irritated voice came through the phone.Davide who had had no intention of answering the phone before was suddenly tossed into a sea of regrets by her words.He walked away from where Cassie was, bringing a reasonable distance between them so she couldn't hear his conversation with Avery."Avery, what do you want?"It seems she recognized the annoyance in his voice, she cho

Chapter 29
Davide's appearance was solemn as he was taking the time to himself to understand the words that Avery had vomited out of her mouth. He could find it hard to believe that Avery wanted him to quit his job just so he could come back home. He knew she was saying this not because she loved him but because she just wanted to feel more powerful than him. She didn't want him to feel like he had the power to say a thing in their marriage.Meanwhile, Cassie's eyes were focused on Davide, she saw the look of resentment and stifling anger he was feeling. The lines between his eyebrows were a scattered reflection of his simmering rage. Cassie cleared her throat attempting to answer the question that Avery had asked, but as she opens her mouth to speak, Davide's voice came from beside her:"How can you say something so stupid? I know you to be an ungrateful person but I don't know you to be a dimwit".Avery's face contorted into anger, the underlying emotion was shame. Davide was insulting her i

Chapter 30
Both Davide and Cassie were both thunderstruck by Avery's outburst. However, unlike Davide who ventured into the hostile lane, Cassie found the humor in what Avery was talking about.She laughed out loud in mockery.Davide on the other hand, had had his fill of Avery's attitude towards Cassie. He knew that Avery probably thought that he was in a sort of relationship with Cassie and it pained him that Avery thought that way of every woman who was standing beside him.She made that assumption with Zeta and now Cassie had to suffer from the same assumption.Davide was sick and tired of Avery's bold assumption and she had successfully attracted the attention of everyone who was simply passing by. They all stopped as they watched the three of them. Davide did not necessarily blame them because this sort of drama was not quite frequent in the hospital so he could pardon their curiosity. However, for Avery he was fed up. He wasn't to get rid of her and the faux marriage they were in."Avery
