Chapter 27: Chapter 27 - Parents Arriving in Avery's Room
Darius's eyes drifted right away toward Liam who was still on the g, unable to move. He wanted to see the effects of 'Aura' on him.
And right as Darius stared at him, Liam started shaking on the g. He was completely lost as he started crying from the pressure. One thing was sure, it was in Liam's best interest to stay as far as possible from Avery, or he would suffer the consequces.
Th, Darius stared at Avery who was on the g, barely able to stand up.
Suddly, he started hearing footsteps. People were approaching her room.
After all, it made sse, considering that Avery kept moaning as loud as possible.
Hearing them, Darius found a pair of pants and a long shirt and threw it over to Avery, who put it on right away. As for Liam, who could keep crying, it wouldn't change anything. He could ev point his finger at Darius and tell her parts what he had done, but why would they ev believe him?
He was a liar.
There were now knocks on the door. Avery barely managed to put on her clothes before standing up. It had to appear like nothing had happed inside the room.
Darius was the one to op the door, and he did so with a smile.
"Oh…are you here to talk to Avery?"
Aaron frowned as he pushed Darius away from the trance. "Move out of the way. We kept hearing shouts from down there."
His frown was only acctuated wh he saw the state of the room that he was currtly in. Everything was messy. There was "water" on the g. Liam was crying…in the corner of the room. His daughter's face was all red.
A lot of things had happed in here, but he just couldn't tell what it was.
"Why is he crying?" Aaron asked as his wife was right behind him.
"Avery made him regret cheating on her," Darius replied.
"Hmm…" Aaron simply nodded. "What about you, Avery? Why are you all sweaty and red? Did something happ?"
Avery just shook her head innoctly. "N-No…nothing happed. We were all calmly talking on my bed. That's all."
"Liam, get out of my house. My daughter clearly doesn't want you a anymore." After saying that, he turned toward Darius with raised eyebrows. "As for you…you can stay depding on what my daughter has to say."
Avery quickly nodded. "Y-yes, he can stay the night if he wants. I don't mind."
Emma smiled. "Th, I'll prepare a separate room for him."
However, right as Emma was about to leave Avery shook her head and weakly uttered. "W-We can use the same room. It'll be fine."
Emma understood what was happing betwe the two of them and smiled. She ev gave her thumbs up to cheer her on. She had no idea what had just happed, and it showed.
After saying that, Liam still hadn't moved from the g as he looked a him.
Aaron sighed. "Liam, are you deaf? I told you to leave this house, and I better not see you again."
Liam hazily stood up and ran out. He would forever remember this momt for the rest of life. Darius had done a good job at humiliating him, as ev the system recognized it.
Aaron acted like a good father for once while he had known about the cheating for literal months. He wasn't a saint, and he would pay the price through his wife.
Darius didn't know wh or how, but one day, his wife would cheat on him with Darius.
Emma turned toward Darius as no one had asked him if he wanted to stay over for the night. "Do you want to sleep here?"
"Hm, it's getting late, and I don't really live close. So, it'd be for the best."
Darius kept feeling his phone vibrate in his pocket as he uttered those words as if someone was calling him.
"If you'll excuse me, I have a call."
Darius headed out of the room as he looked at who was calling him. He wasn't very surprised wh he saw that it was Yuna.
"Hello?"
"Finally, you're answering! I've be calling you all day. Where have you be?"
Darius smiled. "Well, I've be busy. What did you need?"
She sighed, and Darius managed to hear it from the other side of the phone.
"Isn't it obvious? I need to make money. You didn't find me any brand deals to do."
Darius knew that he had fucked up a little. But it was only one day, and she had a lot of time in front of herself.
"Sorry, I was really busy today. I'll make sure you have one for tomorrow."
She clicked her tongue. "What were you ev busy with? Ar't I your only recruit?"
Darius hesitated for a few seconds before answering, as he could already imagine Yuna shouting in his ear wh he announced to her the news about him having a new recruit and the fact that she was a girl.
After all, jealousy was one of Yuna's big personality traits. There was no way to guess her reaction.
"Hm…I can't tell you right now what I was working on. But don't worry, it'll help you in the long run."
"Tsk. Fine, next time, answer my calls. I've be trying to contact you all day." She stopped talking for a good second before adding very quietly. "I missed you."
"Same here," Darius said as he noticed Avery's parts walking toward him. "Alright, I got to go. Just rest today. I'll take care of you tomorrow. Don't worry."
Darius quickly ded the call as he didn't want Yuna to hear anything about what was happing right now.
Aaron laughed wh he heard the words coming out of my mouth. "Is that your other recruit on the phone?"
"Ah yeah. She was wondering where I was. Either way, I solved everything."
Aaron nodded. For some reason, his opinion about Darius seemed to have changed as he had stopped acting like an arrogant a him.
"Well, have a good night with my daughter. She seems to like you a lot. I hope you won't break her trust."
'Oh…don't you worry, we'll have one hell of a night.'
