Christiana's POV;
"Are you okay? "Raymond questions as I dump myself on the bed, as we enter our room.
"No. "I reply staring at the ground as I sit at the edge of our bed. Raymond has grown to know how to read me like a book, so there's no point lying to him.
"I can't believe grandma cut Stella off like that. She showed no mercy. "I confess. Still not looking up.
"Well, I don't blame Her. Stella has proven to be a very, very stupid person, and she got served a slice of life. That's nobody's fault.
Grandma has been tolerating her nonsense for quite some time now. I'm not surprised this happened. I'm only surprised it took this long. "He replies, and I stare up at him. I didn't expect him to say that.
I find him resting against the door, and he instantly comes off it once he sees my face.

Dream Husband   53 -I Lost?
Christiana's POV; I lay in bed beside Raymond, with my gaze on the ceiling. Hugging the blanket covering my nudes, mindlessly. I just lost my virginity to my husband. It was exciting and is unbelievable. I lay still and a bit sore. My mind on nothing in particular. I don't know how I'm meant to behave around Raymond now. Has this made us closer? Does this mean he loves me? Does this mean I love him, or just lack self-control? Do we keep acting as normal friends? Or has this opened the door to every other form of intimacy normal for a husband and wife between us? "I think there's a way out of this. "Raymond says, and I turn to him. Confused by his statement, but refusing to says a word. "We can clear the mess Stella has put the company in, by simply buying the Villa Real company. "He adds, and a metal gong is struck in my head, at how good the idea is. Why didn't I think of this? " I mean, it will be nice if the Duran enterprise dives i

Christiana's POV; It's been a week since we submitted our progress to grandma. She released our credit cards to us but hasn't said a thing. She told us she's throwing a party and will announce the next sole inheritor of the Duran empire, before the whole world. This is a big deal, as whoever it is, gets to be the boss, and decides what jobs the rest of us get. The new person in charge, can't just fire us all without tangible reasons, but asides from that, they get to decide what they retain us as, and if we don't want such positions, we're free to leave. I know James is very mature, and a part of me is painfully making peace with him winning, but Raymond has been against me thinking or saying things like that. He says being a winner, starts from one's mindset. It's the ' The ' day. The day that marks a significant change in the Duran empire. Of course, you know by now that grandma would have nothing less than an Oscar party setting for one of her big
