Chapter Seventy: Spiraling In Circles 

Avery's POV

One hundred thousand dollars!

It has to be a dream.

Blinking my eyes multiple times, I try to get myself into reality, but it feels like I'm stuck in the weird box…

It just can't be my reality.

Oh, god!

My mind is thrown into a state of frenzy, and like a ball set on fire, it keeps consuming me until I'm left with nothing.

‘A hundred freaking thousand dollars!’

Orion’s ridiculous demand replays in my head for the umpteenth time.

“What has come over you?!”

I ask as if he is right before me and free to answer my question or defend himself.

Without any doubt, I'd love to know how possessed he has been. Not in a million years will I be able to reconcile that Orion to the very one that torments me now.

Times change, and so do people… But this is a whole revolution. It's creepy!

Will he change his mind if I go on my knees and plead for mercy? Should I tell Piper? What can she possibly do about this?

“Argh!”
