Million dollar marriage (M•D•M)

Thirteen

"So, your married to Avery?" The girl asked me, emphasizing the word married.

"Yes." I responded. She looked me over in a disgusted way, making me mad.

I was currently at Avery's company building. He had to get something from here, so he brought me with. He didn't want me going up to his office so he told me to stay down here, in the waiting room, with the receptionist- who is getting me mad. She's a blonde with light brown eyes and big boobs, I can see why Avery hired her.

"He's hot." She popped a pink bubble, smiling a little like that was suppose to make me angry.

"Cool." I rolled my eyes at her. I'm not gonna agree with it, even though he is hot. It's clear this girl likes him and is trying to make me mad.

I heard an elevator door ding and my head immediately snapped over, "let's go, I got it." He mumbled. His hair was messed up and so was his tie.

"All this time for a piece of paper?" I asked as he walked over to me. It was almost 30 minutes when we should of been out of here in like a minute.

"Got caught up in something." He mumbled, fixing his tie. I got this feeling in my stomach that I didn't like when I smelt a fragment coming off him.

"Thanks for keeping her company." He thanked the girl before walking away, with me right behind him. Once we got in the car everything was silent.

It felt like my heart was being twisted in knots. I wanted to cry, I knew he was cheating on me. But I mean, we don't love each other so why should I care? Why am I upset? I don't like him, right?

*~*

I didn't wave bye, or even say a word. I just walked out of the car and up to the house. I just walked up to the porch and walked inside the house, not even knocking. I mean it's still my house.

"Mom! Miranda!" I yelled, on the verge of tears. I walked over to the window and peeked out of it, seeing Avery still parked outside. He ran his fingers through his hair before driving off.

"Hey honey, how was I-"

"Avery's cheating on me." I blurted out, cutting mom off. Miranda looked surprised at first but then looked over at mom, giving her the I told you so look.

"Are you sure?" Mom asked. The tears were now spilling out of my eyes, making me mad. Why am I crying over some jerk?

"Yes mom! Messy hair, messed up tie, pretty smelling perfume coming off his suit!" By this time I was rambling. Miranda and her looked at me confused.

"We stopped by his company building so he could 'get something' and he looked all formal and everything then when he came back, 30 minutes later, his hair was messed up and his tie wasn't tied anymore and he was just....a mess." I explained sitting down on the couch. Mom and Miranda walked over and sat by me.

"Are you positive he's cheating?" Mom asked.

"He smelled like vanilla perfume mom." I looked at her. She sighed and ran her hands through her hair.

"Well I guess I'll call your father and-"

"No! I don't what anyone to know about this, especially Landon and dad." I jumped up. The thought of Landon and dad beating Avery up circled my mind.

"Why? The jerk deserves it," Miranda said. I looked at her.

"They'll beat him up, and plus its embarrassing that I'm being cheated on," I explained, looking down at my hands.

"Does he know you know?" Miranda asked.

"I don't know, probably not."

"Are you going to confront him about it?" Miranda asked. I shook my head again,

"No." I said flatly. Before anyone could say anything else the door swung open.

"I'm home second family!" Aspens voice yelled through the house. I looked over and saw Aspen. Her mouth dropped open when she saw Miranda.

"Miranda! Your here." Aspen walked over to me with a smile plastered on her face. I knew exactly what she was going to say next,

"So that means Landon's here to." She chirped. Aspen has an unhealthy crush on my married brother who has kids.

"You still have that crush?" Miranda asked, chuckling.

"Duh. You don't get over your first love that fast." Aspen sat down on the coffee table. Miranda and mom rolled their eyes.

"How's your sister?" Miranda asked. You could see in her face that she didn't really care, she just wanted to make conversation. Ever since Miranda's ex boyfriend cheated on her with aspens big sister, auburn, she has hated her. I don't know who that person was, because I never met him, not even mom or dad met him. It was just Landon that knew him.

"Good, I guess." Aspen mumbled. I saw Miranda roll her eyes. I don't know why she still cares, she's married and has a child.

"Still stealing people's boyfriends?"

"Ok Miranda." Mom gave Miranda a stern look while walking into the kitchen. Miranda smiled and walked behind her,

"What? I was just asking!"

Once they were gone I sat down on the couch, now face to face with Aspen. She took a good look at me.

"Have you been crying?" She ask. I wasn't gonna lie to her, I mean I can't.

"Avery is cheating on me." I said. Aspen quickly jolted up.

"What!" She said a little to loudly.

"How do you know? Did you catch him in action?" She hit me with questions.

"Sit down, calm down, and I'll explain." I said calmly. She grumbled but obeyed, sitting besides me on the couch.

*~*

After telling Aspen how I think I know Avery is cheating on me, she took me to the mall. So here we are, looking through bras and undies. I'm not really looking to get anything, I just wanna go home and cuddle up with my dog and sister.

"Would this look good on me?" Aspen asked, holding up a pink polka dotted thong.

"You look good in anything." I mumbled.

"Your right." She agreed. I smiled a little as she dug through the thong pile some more.

"How abou-"

"WHERE IS HE?" Aspen was cut off by a deep, familiar, loud voice. Me and Aspen turned around to see two guys with mask on, pointing the gun at some worker.

"I d-don't-"

"Your no good." One guy spat, shooting her in between the eyes. I was speechless. I was frozen in my spot, watching in horror as the girl bled on the floor.

"Get down!" Aspen squealed, pulling me down on the floor. Me and Aspen covered our heads. I was so scared I wasn't even crying. Gun shots were heard and they just wouldn't stop.

"Wait." The guy said. Every thing was quiet. I looked up and saw them both starring at me. One of the guys had tattoos trailing down his arm and hand.

Oh please no.

"Emerson?" One guy asked, asked off his mask. My breath hitched and tears prickled my eyes.

"Landon?"
