Chapter 28:Lost and confused

After a long time, Avery was finally back home. Even though this place was filled with her pain. But at least this was better than staying with some bunch of insane people who don't care about a fragile heart. They only care for themselves and their reputation. They don't care about how someone feels. It's only a strong hearted that can withstand the heavy weight of insults and humiliation coming from the high class family. The proud and arrogant billionaire families.

Avery felt relieved as she got down from the car and without waiting for him walked inside the house. James was still seated in the car. He couldn't believe he was having a weird emotion for her. He couldn't believe it at all. What was wrong with him?? Why was he acting like a possessive husband when he heard how Fedrick complimented her? Why? He didn't know. Maybe the only way for him to kill this upcoming weird feelings is to harden his heart towards her the more. He should ignore her totally. He thought coldly.

Avery used the elevator to go to the Master suite. On getting there, she pushed opened the door and slowly stepped inside. This place feels as though no one had ever used it but why. She thought as she was fully inside. She slowly walked inside and sat on the bed. She slowly smiled. She was finally back to her comfort zone. As she was lost in her own world, she didn't notice someone presence. The person walked towards her with strong and powerful steps as he stood in front of her.

Avery! He called her name and she was brought back to reality as she opened her eyes to stare at the black cold eyes staring at her.

James? She said in a bare whisper.

James didn't answer as he dragged her up. Shock was evident on her face. Wh-wh. She couldn't finish her sentence because James had dragged her out of the room. He carried her like a princess and went downstairs in a fast stride. Avery was so shocked and confused as she didn't know what to do.

They were finally downstairs as he carefully placed her down. Avery stared at him with confusion and questions in her eyes.

Every thing is all my fault. He started his voice cold and ice. You know what girl, I need to put you in your place. He said and Avery gulped nervously. He snapped his fingers and a hefty man came in head bow holding a document.

Give it to her. He said dangerously emitting his dangerous aura. Avery became more and more confused as she collect the document from the hefty man. The hefty man bowed and left.

What is this? She asked.

"The contract rules." I should have given you since the first day you were brought here as a contracted wife. He said heartlessly and Avery eyes widen in shock but she kept her cool. Just sign it. He added dangerously before walking away. Avery slowly sat down as her head began to spin heavily.

What has she ever done to deserve this worldly hatred for no reason. Was it her fault that her father borrowed a huge amount of money. Even half of the Smith family are against her. Her own mother who is supposed to guide her also hates her. Why???? Why her???? She teared up. Tears were rolling down her cheeks like rain fall. She was broken once again.

Can't she just be happy, even if it's for one day ? Why does fate keep using James to hurt her ?? What has she ever done?? Is it now a crime to be happy?? All she only wished for is to be happy and her dying father to recover. She thought as painful years left her eyes non stop. She kept crying until she finally stopped as her eyes slowly fell on the document.

Avery slowly opened the document as she read through it. The first rule was :

1: Don't get too attached to my family or anyone related to me.

She froze. Maybe he was right, he should have given her the contract rules because what can she do now. She was already attached to Nina. Nina was like her only sister in this world. She thought. She took in a deep breath as she continue to go through the rules.

" Don't ask me for anything except if it's related to the contract marriage or the rules.

Don't near the middle floor of the mansion

Don't touch my stuffs and don't fall in love with me."

These were the rules stated in the contract. Avery sigh heavily. The last thing she will ever do is to fall in love with a monster like him. She thought calmly. How could she not ask him for anything? How could he set these kind of heartless rules for her ? Is she that bad that she was not supposed to ask for anything. Why ? She thought. She picked up the pen and signed agreed under before dropping it on the table. She was about to go back upstairs when James spoke.

I Hope you understood those rules. A deep cold voice spoke. Avery turned to look at him and nodded a "yes". James walked towards her and took the file and walked away. Avery sigh and went back to her room to sleep. She was thinking about those rules. She laid curled on the bed lost in thoughts.

What should she do? He already warned her not to try running away else she will regret it. She was so lost and confused as silent tears rolled from her eyes. She wiped it off immediately and closed her eyes to sleep. Later that day, She woke up and took a shower.

Once she was done, she went downstairs to look for something to eat. On getting downstairs, she went to the dinning room and saw piles of food laid down on the huge table. Who will eat all of these? She thought as she sat down to eat. Once she was done eating, she left th mansion to go to the hospital to see her father.
