After Sleeping with My Childhood Prince, I Kicked Him Out from My World novel Chapter 40

15: Careful

<<Avery>>>

When I step inside the study room, I see Ethan and Della there waiting for me. I don’t have enough words to explain the betrayal I am feeling right now. I take a deep breath and bite my inner cheek to control myself.

I won’t cry. Not in front of them. I blink and look at dad.

“Why?” I ask him in a bitter voice.

Dad says in a soft voice, “We are family, Avery…”

I don’t throw much glances at Ethan or Della. I am sure they must be fuckin happy with each other. I

don’t need to see that shit.

“And what am I, dad?” Apparently not a family, I guess.

I am so done being polite.

“You are my Child too..” He says insistently.

I want to scoff. It doesn’t make any sense.

“She sure is… I know… This is why I left,” I say, trying hard to hide the resentment in my voice.

“No, Avery… You didn’t have to leave. I want you around. I want you two to work it out. I had a conversation with Ethan..” He sounds hesitant for a moment but says anyway, “He and Della say what you said in the media is not true… they did not get close until a few months after you left..”

Now I finally look at Ethan and raise my brow at him.

He looks stunned and pathetically leering at my body. Motherfucker…

Isn’t he getting enough sex from Della now? I cross my arms to stop the shudder.

I shake my head and say, “I still have the photographs Della sent me that day…” I drop the bombshell,

and their eyes widen.

“What photographs?” Dad asks me.

“You don’t want to know, Dad. Believe me…” Who would like to see how much of a slut his daughter

is? I think to myself and glare at Della.

“Are you threatening me to leak those?” she snarls.

I laugh. “Oh, sweetie, if I wanted, I would have done it long ago… and I wouldn’t have declared it. Just

admit the truth.”

“Is it true?” Dad asks them angrily.

Ethan clears his throat and says, “yes..”

Я

Della gasps,

and I am stunned. When did Ethan learn to man up to own his mistakes?

Dad is livid.

“You! Oh my God! Pathetic!” Dad says in disgust.

“I am sorry…” He says to dad then looks at me. “I am sorry, Avery…” I can see Della seething in anger.

But I am confused. Why is he apologizing?

Change of heart? I don’t fuckin think so. Something is wrong. Warning bells in my head are going off.

I don’t answer him and turn to dad, “Why did you bring me here? If it was for this apology, then guess I should leave…”

I am still feeling agitated at Dad. For bringing me in front of Ethan and Della like this. When I was not prepared to see them.

“You two can leave,” Dad tells them sternly and steers me towards a chair.

“We have to present a united front in front of media,” He says and I want to roll my eyes.

Of Course it is about the business. All damn business. Not me. It’s never about me.

“We recently scored a big contract. Instead of highlighting that, the media is making fun of Ethan & Della. What they did was unforgivable but It is harmful for our Image Avery…”

I swallow hard. Didn’t he notice how they are smearing my name, too? Calling me fat and saying I

deserved to be cheated on.

I stay quiet then dad adds. “All this belongs to you too Avery. I hope you know that. The way you have done well for your music company, I am sure you can do good for the “Thomas Collins

constructions‘ as well.”

My eyes widened.

“I don’t want to do anything with your company, Dad!”

“Don’t be childish, Avery,” he says in a stern voice and I flinch.

Fuck

“I wasn’t a big deal, Avery..”
