Always Together✔️

Chapter: 86

Alec's POV

"Did you find any information about that guy?" I put my phone on speaker, as I wipe my face with a towel after returning from my run.

"No, Boss." Finn, my right-hand, replies, "No information about this mysterious guy," He sounds annoyed.

"I have checked, hospital, and all other records." He sighs frustratedly, "But I did not find a single clue which will help us to find this person."

"What about Avery? What have you found about her?"

Honestly, if I had wanted I would have known every single detail of what is happening in her life all these past years. But I knew if once I had seen her face again, then I would not have been able to stay away from her and that was something I could not have allowed myself. However, now I wish I had kept a track of her life.

"Nothing much, other than she is a single mother and a lawyer..." He lightly laughs and adds after a pause, "Mostly known for her unconventional ways."

"An expert of the out-of-court settlement. She has an interesting way of handling things which sometimes lead the other party to pay a little visit to the hospital." He sounds thoroughly amused while he reads her information.

Of course, if Avery is settling things then hospital visit is bound to happen.

Shaking my head I smile, at least she has not entirely changed.

"Keep looking for the guy." I take off my sweaty shirt and place it in my bag of dirty clothes, "Maybe, you will find something that will lead us somewhere." I dry my arms and shoulders with a towel.

"Okay, Boss," he curtly replies before I hang up the call.

After taking a shower I changed into a black button-down shirt and jeans, getting ready to go for the party. I am least thrilled to attend this party, but the idea of seeing Avery again makes me excited.

It seems like I have traveled back in time again when I had thrown the party just in the hope to meet her. I am experiencing all those emotions of anticipation and excitement all over again.

Maybe things will become better between us.

As soon as I enter the large party hall, which is looking more like a nightclub, immediately my eyes scan the room looking for the only person who matters to me the most. But disappointment fills my heart when I don't find her in the room.

"Relax, dude." Jake smirks looking at me, knowing full well whom my eyes are searching, "She will come."

"I..." I shake my head as a breathy laugh escapes my lips, knowing that there is no use of lying.

"I messed up really bad, huh?" I ask him quietly.

"Yeah, really bad." He raises his beer bottle to his lip and nods.

"I am not sure if she will let you in, but give some time." He leans against the bar counter, "Maybe everything will get better, only if that motherfucker doesn't decide to show up again in her life." He arches an eyebrow.

"Who?"

"Liam's sorry excuse of a father." He states.

He is right, things will completely change if that guy comes back into their life. Will Liam want him to be back in his life? Will Avery make him part of her life again?

Thinking about that guy soars jealously inside me. Because he can have everything which I wanted in my life.

Because the truth is, neither I can have my Avery back nor I can have a child of my own. Honestly, until I haven't met Liam this news never bothered me as I can't imagine being with anyone who is not Avery.
