Mary's pov.

"Hmmm, someone has gotten a boyfriend so quickly," I teased with a smile. a raised brow, and rolled her eyes in joy.

Clara had just escorted Adrian out of the house, and had returned only to meet Mary teasing her in such a way.

"You said you wanted to meet his mom?"

"Hey!" I could tell she was shocked, her eyes were widened, facing where I was. Who knew Adrian was the guy she was looking for?

I didn't think it was going to happen. We are in such a small world, and now, we are going to go out on a date.

"Are you sure you didn't plan this?" Clara asked me to be sure. She knew that I wasn't the kind of person who wasn't interested in love.

"No, I didn't."

She could only roll her eyes, pressing her lips into a thin line as she went into the kitchen to make me a cup of coffee.

I appreciated her, but then decided to pop up the big question which was to ask her if she loved him

"Love? Are you serious?" She had to be sure I knew what I was saying. She told me that she only just

    "Mary?" I walked into the room, only to see her laying on the bed with a smile on her face even when her eyes were closed."I'm not mad at you, I like what I'm seeing. You know when you told me you lied about having a boyfriend i–" "He's just a friend, nothing more." She could only laugh at me, telling me that she wanted me to do something more from the both of us."Adrian loves you, can't you see?" I scoffed, glaring at her with my arms crossed against my chest. I was really curious as to why she was telling me such a thing. She never spoke about love. Nothing like that was in our lives."What do you think about the news of Vanessa, I feel really bad for her." Immediately, those words left my lips, I saw how angry she became, and I couldn't even see her anymore. She was angry and sent me out of her room without looking back.I walked down the stairs to see that Adrian was already pacing around the sittingroom. I couldn't help but smile. He was worried about me and showed that in h

    Vanessa's pov"I'm still angry at you!" I crossed my hands over my chest not wanting to listen to what he was telling me."Baby, you're joking right? We had Intimacy last night, I like it more. Besides, you told the media you love me, didn't you?" I rolled my eyes, if only he knew what was going on in my mind, he would never have said such to me.He was still going on a dinner date with that lady, and just imagining it alone scares me to bits."Tell me what you want me to do? Business is business dearie, you don't expect me not to accept her proposal."I just rolled my eyes, walking past him. However, he held my hands and pulled me back, his eyes staring at me with a hint of naughtiness showing on his lips."Tell me, do you think I'll let you go that easily?" He asked with his brows raised, pulling me, and slamming my lips until he was again.Wanting to go wild, I wrapped my legs around his waist but used my arms to wrap around his legs before spilling myself up.After the passionate

    Lola's povThis was the best proposal I had ever seen. The expensive hall, the expensive ring, this explained by him was always beaming in, and out. He was trying to make sure everything went on well without any interruption. It was morning already, and after waking up, and wincing constantly from the terrible hangover last night, I finally sat up on the bed. My eyes were closed, Trying to surprise the throbbing pain in my head as I tried my best to hold on."Fuck!" I recalled last night, and my eyes instantly opened, wanting to know if it was a dream, or reality. To my surprise, the ring was on my hand, and was able to show them that I was living in reality."Yes!" I screamed, but winced when it affected my head. Just then, the door opened, and I saw Sheldon walk in with a tray of food.My stomach growled, and my tongue grazed my lips to satisfy my hunger. I was really hungry, maybe because I was too excited to eat last night."Baby, thank goodness you're awake, I brought you break

    Mary's pov Everything happened so fast, the aim to embarrass her only made her admit that she was now in a relationship with Cole. Thankfully Clara wasn't here, so I was able to express myself in the way I wanted.My teeth were gritted, my hands shaking violently as I glared at the television where the news was playing. She stood there with her midnight black hair, and her gorgeous face which she used to seduce Cole.Anger filled my heart towards her, and I instantly knew I needed to look for a way to terminate the relationship going on between them. A smile was plastered on my lips, and it was then I picked up my phone to make a call to Zira.She was the only one that could help me with this. She would inch closer to Cole, make Vanessa jealous until she would not be able to stand it anymore. I was going to to make sure Vanessa walked out of the relationship."Hello, boss.

    Cole's pov.I arrived home with a smile on my face, getting out of my car to go see Snow. She didn't go to school today because I didn't want her to be part of the media problems going on with Vanessa and I."Daddy!" She exclaimed, rushing towards me with a tight hug. It was good to know she was out of bed today, even when she was still looking pale."Where's mummy Vanessa?" She pulled out of the hug, arching her head to see if Vanessa was behind me.A sigh left my lips, and I crouched down to her level to explain all that happened and why Vanessa would no longer be staying with us.I told her about how the media found out she was living with me, and now it brought her lots of problems. Snow became sad, asking if it was her fault.Tucking her hair to the back of her ear so I could stare deep into her grey orbs, I responded, "No darling. It is not your fault, okay?" She nodded to her head to my words before asking me if everything was going to be okay.I could only tell her yes. The

    Lola's pov.Sheldon had just dropped me off with a smile on his face. I frowned, going to hug him before whispering the words, "I'll miss you into his ears." Why wouldn't I miss my finance? He was the most important, and caring person in the world to me after my father.After pecking him on the cheek one more time, I began to pull my luggage, but the butler came to quickly get it."Good afternoon, and welcome home miss Lola," he stammered, helping me with the bag. I didn't even hesitate to let go. I would have made daddy fire him if he didn't come to my aid.My eyes moved around, scanning my environment to see that nothing had changed. I was glad to know that the servants were doing their jobs in my absence.When I got into the house, I screamed the name of the maid incharge of the kitchen. She ran towards where I was, her hands shaking, and her eyes not meeting my gaze."What's wrong?" I didn't see a reason for her to be afraid, and it was pissing me off. "You know what, it doesn't

    Vanessa's pov.I woke up the next morning feeling sore all over. My mind was wondering what kind of pregnancy this was. It made me all the things I was not, a foodie, very emotional, and always so lazy to do anything. However, I had to cover all this up before I went to Cole.He was very observant, especially about me, and snow, so it wouldn't take him a second to reach a conclusion that I was sick, and then he would take me to the hospital only to find out I was pregnant.A sigh left my lips. I was still on the bed, looking so messy. My hair was scattered all over my face, and I was still trying to stay awake.Just then, my phone rang, making me jolt up In shock, my eyes darting around as I winced, holding my head.I was just so tired about everything. I was already too weak to get up this morning."It's a call from Cole." I said with a smile on my face, taking the call, and placing the phone on my ears.Cole began to speak with happiness.

    Vanessa's pov.I turned to him, and tried to hide the blush that was on my cheek. We were still in a very public place of the office, so we couldn't act all lovey-dovey here."Good morning, Mr. Cole." Acting all professional, I greeted, and Shelly followed with the exact same words.There was no doubt he felt a little bit uncomfortable with me calling him Mr. Cole, but then he had to understand that we were in a work environment, and until we got married, we still had to be professional with each other. There was a smile on my lips "How are you Vanessa, and Shelly?" He was talking to both of us at the same time. We both replied, telling him we were very good, and that we enjoyed our night. However, not wanting to keep asking me questions, he asked me to follow him up to the elevator. Shelly, who understood what was going on, nodded her head in approval. She was used to Cole stealing me away from her all the time."Cole, that wasn't nice." My lips were pouted as I spoke, my hands cro

Hearing it, my phone dropped from my hands, and I instantly felt like the whole world was about to crumble."No, no!" I was having a serious headache, but Cole needed me the most now.

I begged with everything that in me, my eyes burning as I dropped the phone in the car after sending the last voice message.My heart was beating hard in my chest, and I saw how she was acting.

It was obvious I wasn't going to the office today because I was really tired, and I also needed to find a way to get Vanessa back.Speaking of Vanessa, could it be that mother came back because of her? My eyes widened when I came out of the bathroom. She was here to ruin my relationship with Vanessa just like she did with my first woman.Anger flooded my mind, and I instantly felt like tearing her apart. As a mother she was supposed to support me, not to ruin my relationships with the woman I loved.Thinking of that alone made me really furious, and I felt like storming to her room to ask her questions, but then, what could I possibly ask her.I moved out of my room, and immediately bumped into one of the maids. She was sorry, apologizing almost immediately, but I didn't have time for that. I wasn't to know why she was here."Why are you here?" I stro

    Cole's pov.I came back from the engagement looking really tired, my eyes heavy, just like my heart as I moved up the stairs. I was going to see the only person who could make me smile at this moment, my little daughter, Snow, and looking at the time, it was obvious that the servants put her asleep.When I got to the front of her door, I sighed, pushing the door open I was greeted by a sad look on her face. Her window wasn't covered by the cutton, and her lights were still on. I knew the maids weren't the ones who did this. She was just too smart, and might have pretended to sleep just to get the maids out of the place.Pushing that aside, I moved to where she laid in the bed like sleeping beauty, her eyes were closed, and her hands were placed togther under her pillow. She was just so cute.Sitting at the corner of the bed, I exhaled, starting a conversation with her just to tell he how rough my night had been."What's wrong snow, I'm doing all I can to make the relationship work.

Just as I got to the door to my office, I saw two muscular guys in black coats who stood side by side.“May I help you guys?”They gave me a strong stare with no words as they restricted me from getting into the office. I was beginning to get scared of them because they didn't seem pleasant at all as I tried to get passed them again.“I got some work to do, so if you don't-”The man on the left showed me the left area of his jacket, which revealed a pistol slotted at the waist of his trousers.“God!
