2024-10-29 19:42:56When Raymond got home that day, he had dinner with Felicity before following her into her room.
Felicity was surprised and she asked him out of her excitement "are you sleeping with me today little Ray?"Raymond stilled for a moment but he smiled later "no, not today.""Oh" a trace of disappointment was clear on her face "why are you here then?""I want to talk to you" his fingers traced her face involuntarily, realizing what he was doing, he dropped his hand. Just why is it that she makes him wants to be gentle with her, no woman has ever derived such feelings from him and he is not sure he likes it. He can't lose to Katherine by loving Felicity right?"What is it?""I talked with aunt Katy today.""Why?""Do you remember the day we went to grandparents house?" When she nodded, he continued "we talked in the car about you having a miscarriage right?""Yes" she whispered."Don't worry, it's fake okay?" He smiled "we will have it tomorrow.

The days were passing and Felicity still has said nothing. Raymond finds it hard to focus whenever he was away from the house. He keeps on thinking on what to do to liven her up but yet, he has got nothing.A knock resounded on his door and Morris entered, "sir, Mr. Harrison is here.""Did I scheduled a meeting with him?""Yes sir. The appointment had been fixed since last month.""Find a way to tell him that I can't meet him now.""But sir, he is...""Morris, I can't meet anybody today, don't you get it?""Yes sir. I will talk to him" he left the office.Raymond heaved a deep sigh and wiped his face with his palms. He can't believe he put Felicity in her condition, the thought alone was killing him.Morris entered his office again "I managed to explain to him sir, he said you should call him when you are free."Raymond only nodded."Sir, I have been thinking, what if you try taking her to the places she love" that got him Raymond's attention "you se

Why is it that Felicity nice curves is driving him out of his mind and he really wants to take her but not for pleasures but to keep? What's so special about her?She is most definitely not his type of woman, she is too childish and easily coerced.She has a tendency to forgive easily when promised just an ice cream or a cake.She laughs over anything whether funny or not.She worries if she sees a single frown on his face.She sulks if he just as much as told her to leave him alone.She blushes when he flirts with her.She looks away bashfully if he shows a little affection to her.Her eyes lit up just as the sight of him.She doesn't hesitate to act cute when he is around.And right now, she is stuffing ice cream on her face that always remind him just how much of a child she is.But why, why is it that all those things he mentioned is what that draws him to her?Why does he have this urge to wipe away that cream on her nose?Why does he want

Time flew by and it was Felicity's birthday already. Raymond because he had promised, threw her a birthday party. Katherine had been surprised when he carried on with that. He hadn't been so kind or caring towards Felicity as he had been earlier, so forgive her for being shocked when he threw her the party.Due to Katherine not knowing a lot of people and Felicity not having friends, it became his duty also to invite guests and he did to those he knew who are mostly, models, celebrities and business tycoons. Desmond and Hana invited family friends since it was their granddaughter in-law birthday. Raymond's parents couldn't make it again and they weren't surprised. To fit into Felicity's description, there was a dress code, women in ball gowns and men in tuxedoes.Raymond had told himself times without numbers that he won't wear the couple outfits with her but he found himself putting on the male wear on the big day. Mercy had been shocked silly when she saw him coming down the

"Little Ray, I don't...feel...so good" Felicity mumbled in the man's arms."What the hell Philip?" He raged and took Felicity from his arms."Easy man, I didn't do anything. I only offered her a glass of wine, is all" he raised his hands as he tried to explain the situation."A wine? Why in the world will you give her wine?" Raymond demanded."Chill man, she is an adult okay. She did say her aunt never let's her take one and I thought she was joking. I never knew one glass will get her drunk.""Really? So if I haven't arrived now, you wouldn't have done anything?""Come on man, give me some credit. I'm old enough to not get my friend's wife drunk just to sleep with her okay. If I want sex there are a lot of ladies in there who are ready to hook up with me anytime. I only came out her to chat with her, you are so secretive and you never brings her out with you. I just wanted to get to know her and know why you don't want anyone to meet her.""Did you satisfy your

Katherine froze when she heard what she said."Little Ray did what?" She asked to be sure."Little Ray slept with me last night" Felicity looked at her "I guess I'm dizzy because I'm pregnant.""But how can you know you are pregnant? I mean, since he slept with you only last night.""But Grace said if husband and wife sleep together, she will be pregnant. Little Ray slept with me last night" she beamed at Katherine "don't worry aunt Katy, you are going to be a grandaunt.""This is unbelievable" Katherine whispered, she stared at Felicity who was sitting on the bed and smiling happily, she couldn't believe what she was hearing. Raymond slept with Felicity? She thought he said she is not his type? No, wait a minute "Felicity, I'm your aunt right?""Of course.""Good" she sat beside her on the bed "can you tell me what little Ray did to you last night?"Hearing her aunt question, Felicity remained silent, she could remember what Raymond told her about not tellin

"Katherine listen, Felicity is not a baby anymore, goodness she turned twenty five yesterday. These are the things she should have been aware of already, we are just trying to bring her into the world" Mercy defended."Well, I don't want her too.""Katherine listen to yourself, you want Felicity to get better, to be the woman she is supposed to be but you won't even let her. You keep treating her like a child" Mercy raised her voice a little."She is a child!" Katherine shouted."No she is not, you are the one treating her like one. If only you will let her socialize with her peers, if only you will let her go to school, believe me Felicity would have been a woman by now because there are something's you can't teach her but she would have learnt in school. Girls her age would have brushed her up. School would have taught her a lot of things, a lot of things she doesn't know now. The doctor says she is no longer in shock but she still acts like a child, that's because you

Raymond stilled like a statue when he heard her, does that mean Felicity ended up telling her everything? But why? He regained himself almost immediately, not letting her know he was shocked at her question "firstly, I will like to oppose you on that, the contract didn't say I'm not to go close to her, it said that I'm not to hurt her which I didn't? She didn't complain that I did anything right, so technically, I didn't breach the contract.""You did and you know it. You were not to hurt her, not to touch her and you did the latter!""Yes I did. And I assure you it won't repeat itself. I was drunk that night and like every other married man, I wanted to have my wedding night but then I remembered the contract, which made me stop. But in my defense, she actually enjoyed it.""I can't believe you!""But she did. The way she was moaning and calling out to me.""I never allowed you to do that to her Raymond!""Hmm, first name basics? I don't think I ever allowed that.

After consoling Felicity, Mercy took her up to her room and she fell asleep almost immediately. Raymond remained in his room, he didn't come out for breakfast when Gloria called him rather he ordered that his breakfast should be brought to his room where he ate silently. His words that hurt Felicity still rang in his mind, hurting him just as well, he wonders what she was doing at the moment but he couldn't bring himself to go check on her, he is not falling for her, it's going to a take a really strong woman to get him to bend and she had not yet been born, he thought as he silently scooped his food to his mouth, he doubts if he would love to see her for the rest of the day.Katherine watched Mercy as she climbed down the stairs one step at a time, she heaved a sigh and waited silently for her to get closer.Mercy looked at her when she was at the foot of the stairs, she silently walked up to her, they stood facing each other, not saying a word. After some seconds, Mercy sigh

Three months later, Raymond pulled over in the driveway, he got down just as the door was opened and two children ran out shouting, "daddy!"He squatted and opened his arms for them and they slammed into him, he kissed both their cheeks, "how are you?""I'm fine" they both said excitedly."So, are you ready for a fun day?" He asked and they nodded vigorously. He smiled and kissed their head each. He looked up at the lady who was watching them, at his gaze, she turned and shut the door before approaching them."Now that we are set, let's give some rules, one, no running off, stay close where I can see you, two, no rough play and three, don't lose each other. If you obey these rules, then I will consider us going for another fun day" she said to the kids.The kids readily agreed to the rules and ran to Raymond's car while their parents followed after them.

Getting to their destination, they all got down from the car and Hana looked at Raymond, "are you sure you should have come with us? I don't want little Lee rejecting us because of you.""If she doesn't want to see him, he would just stand outside and wait for us" Desmond said as they walked to the patio.Raymond said nothing but just walked silently behind them. Desmond rang the bell and the door was answered by Mercy.She was surprised to see them and she doesn't know if she should let them in or not, but at the end, she smiled and shifted aside for them to enter, "please come in."They walked in to first hear the voice of a little girl whining, "you said you will give me your cake.""You eat too much, very soon you will become fat" a little boy's voice reprimanded her."Alright hush you two, you mustn't fight all the time" a lady's voice was heard, they had made their way to the living room then to see the kids surrounding a woman who was placing two plates of c

Darryl tossed and turned on his bed, he couldn't get himself to sleep. He kept thinking of the gray eyes he saw today, the gray eyes that looked so much like his own. He has never been attracted to all those men that wants to see his mom like he was to the one he saw today. He wants to see him again. And after hearing his mom and aunt fight, he knew his instinct is right, that man is his father. Even though neither his aunt nor his nanny wanted to admit it, but he knew.He climbed out of his bed and approached his sister own, he gently climbed into it and gazed at her sleeping face, after what felt like minutes passed, he gently tapped her shoulder, "Sofie, wake up Sofie.""Mm, leave me alone" she pushed his hand away and flipped on the bed."Come on Sofie wake up, I need to tell you something.""Tell me tomorrow" she mumbled.Darryl pouted, "if you wake up, I will give you my cake in the morning."Sofia's eyes snapped open immediately, "you will give me your cake?

Katherine entered the house to see Felicity standing beside the sofa with her arms crossed on her chest, she sighed and knew she would be getting some questioning, "little Lee.""Don't call me that!" Felicity warned.Katherine heaved a sigh, "Felicity, I understand you are angry but, this is expected. You can't hide them forever.""I don't want him to know about them. For goodness sake aunt Katy, I don't want to have anything to do with him in my life again.""But you know that's not possible. No matter how bad you want to take him out of your life, you can't. As long as you still have the children, he is tied to you with them.""Not if he doesn't know about them. I want him out of my life and out of theirs. He doesn't deserve to be with them, he doesn't deserve to have them!""That's like saying it's not his blood that runs in their veins.""If I say it's not, its not."Katherine sighed, "Felicity...""Aunty Katy please" she raised her hand to stop her, "

Felicity and Katherine looked at each other before looking at him again, "why would you say that?" Katherine asked."Because I want to see my daddy. All my friends in school use to talk about how their daddy thought them how to throw ball and builds snowmen with them. I want my daddy to teach me too and build snowmen with me" as if that wasn't enough, he looked at his little sister, "don't you want to meet daddy Sofie?"The little glutton sitting on her Mommy's lap immediately nodded continuously, "yes, I want to meet daddy. Daddy will take me to amusement park and buy me ice cream and cake."Darryl rolled his eyes, "glutton, all you think about is food.""Mom, Darryl called me glutton again" she whined."Darryl, don't call your sister glutton again" Felicity looked at her daughter "but mommy use to take you to amusement park and buy you cake and ice cream.""Yes but daddy will carry me on his shoulder and spin. Then he will kiss my head and call me his princess" s

A month later, Raymond was in the conference room of the Baldwin empire, having a meeting with the board of directors when the door was thrown open and stormed in a very angry Desmond.Everyone looked at him surprised for they hardly sees the old chairman so angry that it's as if smokes were puffing out from his ears and they all prayed not to be the reason of his anger."Raymond!" Desmond shouted "what is the nonsense I hear?"Raymond sighed, if his grandfather called him Raymond, then he must be really angry with him, "grandpa, I don't know what you are talking about.""What nonsense!" Desmond slammed his hand on the table causing everyone to jump including Raymond, "don't you dare act ignorant with me" he warned."Grandpa, why don't you calm down and let's talk in my office. Maybe you can tell me what have you infuriated this much.""Don't tell me to calm down. How could you break your grandmother's heart like this?"Raymond need no soothsayer to tell him wha

Raymond lifted his glass to his lips again, "bottom's up" he murmured and down his throat it all went. He dropped the glass with a thud on the table before picking up his whisky to fill it up again.Ha, he can't believe this, he has suddenly become a drunkard and he knows not the reason.Oh shit, he knows the reason, he just doesn't want to admit it.
