Raymond asked as he glared at Wes"I apologize, sir, but we have a big problem.""What is it?" Raymond asked in an uninterested tone"I think it's better you watch it," Wes said as he opened his table and showed Raymond a video of him confronting Sharon at her farm a few days ago.It already had a million views, and there were a lot of nasty comments against him, calling him an asshole and other unspeakable names"How did this get out?"

Chapter: CHAPTER FOUR "It's about time you broke this non-dating pact you went into, Shar.” Sharon’s mother said as she glared at her, "I know that boy broke your heart but don't let him destroy love for you" "Mom, you know I can't right now, I have a lot of things to do, love is the last thing on my mind right now" she protested, gesturing towards the piles of paperwork scattered around her. Her mother raised an eyebrow, unimpressed. "You know what I mean. Since you and that good for nothing, you called a fiancé broke up three months ago, you’ve just buried yourself in this dark house. For fuck’s sake, when will you go for a proper night out to loosen up. And maybe, even find a nice man to make you forget everything for one night.”“Ma…” she sighed. This is not the fourth time this week, and it’s not even Wednesday yet. “I’m not going anywhere till this is done and I’m definitely not finding any man, nice or not.“She said, letting out a sigh.“If you’re going to grow old alone, at least eat something s

Chapter: CHAPTER THREE INVESTORS AND RAYMOND Sharon couldn't help but roll her eyes as Lenny's gruff voice interrupted her task. "Shar, leave the damn cow's udder alone. You're gonna scare the poor thing to death."She shot him a playful glare, the corners of her lips twitching into a smirk and she said, "Relax, Lenny. I'm just trying to help out. Besides, I think Old Betsy here enjoys the attention." Lenny shook his head, his weathered face creasing with amusement. "Sure, Shar. You keep telling yourself that," he said, chuckling under his breath. "Now, get out of here and continue sorting your books.”“Ugh.” she stumbled to her feet and moved to go back inside the office. It’s been four months since they started sorting the accounts, and yeah, let's just say they are still knee deep in debt. But it's a gradually process and they will eventually get thereLenny has been more than a friend to Sharon.

Chapter: CHAPTER TWOA week laterRaymond woke up to his phone ringing quite loudly, he sat on his bed and glanced at the night stand, and spotted some condoms. His phone was still ringing but nowhere to be found. He looked under the bed to find his wrinkled trousers and phone in its left pocket. How the hell did that even get there? He wondered as he took the phone out of the trouser pocket and squinted at the screen. The caller ID read Jace, his best friends name so he picked it up“What’s up,”“Hey, Ray,” Jace greeted on the other end of the phone. “We're still on for tonight, right?”“Yeah, J.”“Say hi to your latest fling for me, then,” his tone, suggestive. “How do you know I'm with a woman, I might just be at work" “I stopped by your place on my way to work to pick up those documents, when I asked your housekeeper where you were, she turned red as a tomato and told me you were with one of your lady friends" Jace explained as a laugh left his lips, "you will never change, I wonder when you're goi

It was just yesterday that he was joking around with her and her mother, but now he was dead, and there was no way to bring him back.After he was buried, the guest moved to the ranch for refreshments before ending the funeral. She didn't know now how many people she had talked to today and how many condolences she had received.

How are we going to do it, Mama? We can't run this farm on our own," Sharon said, her pain evident in her tone "We will hone
