CHAPTER 58- TEARS

AUTHOR'S POV

AVERY GAVE GAVIN TIME TO download what had happened before she entered the room. She put on her cloak of self-control, ready to take in all he had to say.

She wrapped her arm around him from behind and rested her head on his back.

Caressing his chest she said softly, " I know you are blaming yourself, don't. It's Sydney's fault, I don't know what she did but I promise, I overheard her conspiring with that lumberjack."

Gavin was shaking with anger and hurt. Enough, enough. He screamed silently. Avery's words were like a loud cacophony of sirens in his ear.

" On the bright side, we finally have this place to ourselves and Sydney is out of the picture."

Gavin turned to her, his jaw tight as he uttered, " Bright side? What's f**king bright about that?"

Avery sneered. " You wanted a divorce; you've got it. Aren't you happy?"
