Chapter 22

Avery scowled as she tried to lunge at me. I raised my two hands to block her just in case she really will throw her fist. The woman could pack a powerful punch. I’m not even just saying it out of observation because I did experience it firsthand when we spar one time.

“You promised not to harm her.” She chastised.

“I didn’t harm her okay.” I was still putting my guard up, my two hands still full on display on the air. “M-maybe I-I took advantage of her but-”

“That’s the more reason I should kill you.” She exclaimed. She took a step forward and I automatically stepped back. “I don’t know if I should be glad that you didn’t hurt her or the fact that she’s pregnant with your child! Are you insane, Angelo? You should be thankful I didn’t tell him. If he finds this out-”

“Whoa, whoa, whoa.” I cut her off. "I’ll tell him myself, okay. Please. I plan on marrying her.” I finally put my guard down and dropped my hands along my side.
