Chapter 5

After leaving the club house, Avril was a bit puzzled at Liam's behavior. She had heard of him being cold and ruthless before but the person she saw just now was nice and funny quite different from what she heard about him . She hope everything would go well tomorrow.

As soon as she got into the house, Avril was met with questioning and angry gazes. "Where have you been brat, hope you didn't do anything stupid that would tarnish our image", her mother's,Stephanie Smith, voice called out in a pissed tone. "And why do you care", Avril said rolling her eyes, " that's not why i'm here,why did you call off your engagement with Henry, everyone was waiting in the hall for you and Henry, only for us to hear that the bride called off the engagement even making it public", Stephanie said in anger. "Do you realize how much you made us lose face,if not for Henry apologizing on your behalf,i'd have kicked you out of the Smith family", her father, Leonard Smith, shouted .

"I don't owe anyone an explanation,if anyone should explain why i called off the engagement,it should be your precious daughter Anna" Avril said. "You all blame me for calling off the engagement to the man i once loved but you didn't ask why, i caught your precious daughter, Anna, cheating with Henry right before the wedding even planning to frame of cheating on him,so i did what a normal smart lady would do, calling off the engagement", she added. "But you didn't say anything about it,it shows how rebellious you are towards your parents, tomorrow morning, i'm taking you with me to the Stark family to apologize", Leonard said before walking out in anger, "there's no need, since your precious daughter always wants what i have,why don't you have her marry him besides you wanted them together back then didn't you,oh and before i forget i'm moving out this night so i won't bother your family time together", Avril said walking out of the living room to her room which was a shabby and tiny storage room.

When she first arrived, she was given a nice room, but Anna complained about her room being too small for her things,so they asked her to move out turning the room into Anna's walk-in closet. Anna was once diagnosed with anemia and since their blood type was a match, once Anna was having her episode, they'd donate her blood for her with or without her permission. She could have fought back, but she thought if she complied with their demands, they'll eventually show her the love and care she wanted, looking back now, Avril could only consider herself foolish for believing that they would love her like their daughter . She would make them suffer for what they had done, Avril picked up her phone, dialing Kyle's number, "make an announcement that the president of Sky Moon group is holding the company's anniversary in a week", she said. "Yes ma'am, what preparations should i make", Kyle asked, "don't worry i'll be coming to the office in three days", Avril replied before hanging up. After she finished packing up, she left quietly in her car.
