His Little Deception

12.Avery Stirling

CHAPTER12|AVERY STIRLING

I'm starting to regret not taking fighting lessons when I was younger. All around me are men and women who wear all black and carry guns or any other weapons they could fit around their waste or inside their pockets

Every step I take I feel like i'm in some type of danger. No one has seen me yet which is good I just wanna make it into the next room without dying. But before I knew it they all look my way when I accidentally knock over a vase that sat on a nearby shelf

"Who are you?." a girl with brown hair asks while crossing her arms over her chest asks causing everyone around us to murmur a few words

I hesitate for a second before making a decision to tell her just incase they decide to kill me before I can even get a single word out

"My names Avery Stirling. I'm here with Dorian for-" I stop talking as soon as they all got on one knee and bow their heads

I know Kelsey did it before but this is just something uncalled for. This isn't normal. All I could do was look around the room in disbelief. I've never been bowed to by so many people

Never been bowed to in my life. And what makes it worse is that their chanting these words

Our Donna Avery

"What the fuck." I yell in a whisper only I can hear. If Quinn were here she'd tell them to stand up but she isn't and I don't have the guts to do it

Inhaling I try to think of something other than this because honestly it's freaking me out. But they don't know that because they aren't looking at me

I may not want to be in Dorian's presence but I need him here now

Shoes sound against the floor and a wave of relief hits me when I see Dorian coming around the corner. He had on a suit with his hair slick back

He lets out a loud sigh before tucking his hands into his pockets. "Everyone meet your Donna,Avery Stirling. You not only answer to me but you also answer to her now also."

My eyes bulge out of my head to the point I'm sure I could see stars now. Currently I've come to terms that I'm in a fantasy. This is what happens when you become a writer

"Donna?. As in a mob boss's wife?." I try my best not to raise my voice but it's getting harder by the minute

His face says it all. I was about to start rambling on and on about how insane and delusional he is when he cut me off

Grabbing my arm he guides me away from everyone,"Everyone's dismissed until training." he shouts before we're in a secluded hallway

I'm currently being cornered and it is making me very hot for some odd reason

He nods "Yes a mob boss's wife. This is for your protection whether you like it or not this is happening. You will be by my side for your own good."

My lips part slightly but I didn't open them because I fear if I open them just the tiniest bit our lips will touch. And I will shrivel up and this corner if that ever happens

"I wasn't informed about this witness protection plan."

Without responding he just gives me a last long look before turning his back to me and leaving me behind

Great

...

Today of all days is by far my worst. Living with Dorian is eating at my skin. I know he barely speaks to me while at his place but just seeing him sets a fire in my chest
