The first and second day moving in with Ivan were alright, but it slightly annoyed Avery on why Ivan kept putting those quotes to her game even though it had no meaning to her, and to him. She was being infested by Ivan's control, and how the feeling of resentment was growing that he couldn't get rid of.

She tried to fix her own game to try and regain control of her own project, but it didn't work. The desperate attempts to get ownership of HER game back always resulted in 'failed', 'failed', and 'failed'. Ivan kept on pestering Avery to keep on work, always work.

Just as Avery was about to reach the couch, Ivan ripped off the blanket and it was clear that his expression showed that he was pissed off.

"Love. I thought I told you to work."

Ivan wasn't gonna let her rest at all, as he pointed towards her computer in the kitchen. He clearly wanted her to work, didn't he?

The only 'safe' place she thought was safe was the bathroom, and she ran off with Ivan running after her. Luckily, she managed to reach the bathroom and lock the door in time.

Avery could hear Ivan knocking on the door, trying to coax her out with his pleading words.

"Ave, please don't lock the door, I just want to talk to you…”

A beat passed.

"Unlock this door."

He was getting impatient, as he twisted the knob frantically and banging on the door.

“Avery.”
