Chapter 12 : The ReturnLewis' POV I watched as my love slept peacefully beside me. She was in so much pain earlier and it was hurting me to see her in pain. I didn't know that periods could be this painful. My mum did mention that it was different for all women so I figured that the pain would differ to. I couldn't believe she thought she was ugly, I didn't even notice the acne on her face until she pointed it out. She always looked beautiful no matter what and I didn't care if she had makeup on or not. The movie ended and I turned off the TV to not interrupt my queen's sleep. She moved in her sleep and snuggled closer to me. I couldn't help but admire her as she slept. I slowly got out of the covers and left her sleeping to checkup on my laptop on the dining table. Kaden sent me a text earlier regarding some important files that I needed to analyse so I went to do just that. I put on my digital glasses and began working.I was 20 minutes into my work when I noticed that Vic was
Chapter 13 : The Ex Girlfriend6 Months LaterVictoria's POV My office romance with Lewis had been great so far.No one suspected a thing as we were always careful.During intermission, we would usually meet in his office and make out or he would hold my hand while we were in the elevator, and he would wink at me anytime I was present in his meetings.We were deeply in love now and I got to know more about him and the kind of past he had. He told me about the only woman he loved, and how she treated him. I would never have thought that a man like him would have his heart broken. If I ever saw his ex, I would be sure to make her regret leaving such a kind man.He introduced me to his parents a week ago. I was super nervous because they were people of high class and I wanted to be on my best behaviour. Lewis was always by my side and he made me feel calm as we met his parents.Mr and Mrs Mark were a lovely couple and they were really nice. His older brother Lucas was almost really nic
Chapter 14 : The Love Triangle Kaden's POV FLASHBACK.Ever since Lewis came back from his business trip with Victoria, he behaved differently.He seemed rather..changed. He wasn't as picky anymore and was nicer than before.I suspected that Vic had something to do with this because he would always smile whenever she was around. I hated this as I had developed feelings for her too. I thought what I felt was just attraction, but it had grown bigger than that. I wasn't the commitment type but I found myself wanting to be with her. I remember how she blushed when I called her Vic for the first time, that was when I started falling for her. I stopped sleeping around with girls and decided to change. I wanted to change for Victoria. I was ready to quit my playboy antics and confess to her. She must have felt the same because of how she always looked at me warmly. I was going to confess to her when she got back from her trip, but I wasn't able to because I noticed that Lewis had started
Chapter 15 : The BullyStephanie's POVLuckily it went through and as expected, Hunter&Sons ssucceeded and many companies invested in them after the merger. This made Mark&Co reduce in stock price and their companies was declining a lot.I couldn't bring myself to see Lewis so I left without a word and moved in with Mason. He invited me to the company dinner, saying that I was a blessing that came to him.At the company dinner, he introduced me as his girlfriend to everyone. This news made a pretty good headline and everyone now knew me as the girlfriend of Hunter&Sons CEO.A few days later, I went to my old house to get some of my old stuff. I didn't pack much because Mason had practically changed everything I was using and wearing."You only deserve the best", he would say to me.I had just finished packing when I heard the doorbell ring. To my surprise, it was Lewis at the door and he came storming into the house."It was you all along?""You leaked the papers?""How could you Ste
Chapter 16 : The Cheating Part 1(This is just an addition of Lewis and Victoria's thoughts after meeting with Stephanie. Stephanie's POV is continued after Lew and Vic's POV)Victoria's POV For the rest of the day, I couldn't concentrate. "How did Stephanie figure out that Lewis and I hadn't slept with each other yet?""Did I look that innocent to her?"I thought to myself.I wondered if she and Lewis were ever intimate, he never said anything about that.I was jolted from my thoughts when I heard Lewis call out to me from his office.I went over to him and he pulled me into a hug."Did she say anything bad to you?" "I hope she didn't hurt you", He asked me."I'm fine babe, I'm not a child", I said playfully, not bringing up her question."I don't know what to do anymore." "She came saying she had something against Mason but I told her I wasn't interested", he said truthfully, but I could see a hint of worry in his eyes."What does she have against him", I asked curiously."The ru
Chapter 16 : The Cheating Part 2Before I could finish my statement, Lewis' lips were on mine.He kissed me with so much passion that my knees grew weak and I collapsed on the floor. I could taste the whiskey on his tongue as he deepened the kiss.He was now on top of me, with one hand beside my head and the other caressing my body.I wrapped my hands around his neck and dug my hands into his hair and pulled him closer, making both of us feel hot from the proximity. He moved from my lips and trailed kisses down my neck, making sure to leave hickeys after every kiss.This caused me to feel an electric shock all over my body and I moaned loudly, signalling for him to go further but his kisses stopped. I opened my eyes and saw him looking at me in admiration."Do you still think I don't find you attractive, my love?"He asked me teasingly."Uh no, no I don't", I said while fanning myself with my hand."You are the most beautiful and sexy woman in this world." "Don't let anyone make y
Chapter 17 : The RapeStephanie's POV I barged into Mason's office and walked in on him screwing his personal assistant on his office desk."What the fuck Steph?" "Can't you fucking knock?"He said as he zipped up his pants while the secretary ran out of the office."Might wanna clean your face, you have lipstick all over", I said in disgust."Why are you here?""And haven't I warned you not to visit me unless it's an emergency?""From the looks of it, this is no emergency", he said as he sat on his chair."Oh, this is a fucking emergency, cos I just found out that you were Lewis' bully in high school", I said while pointing at him."Great, you finally realised that now." "Didn't you find it odd that I approached you just after you started to feel neglected by Lewis?" "A perfect timing don't you think?"He said amusingly, while I had a surprised look on my face."Knowing that Lewis, that bastard, had such a beautiful woman like you by his side made my blood boil, so I had you track
Chapter 18 : The Reveal Part 11 week laterVictoria's POV I walked into the company on a Monday morning, ready to begin my day when I noticed that people were looking at me while some pointed fingers at me.I wondered if I had something on my face but I touched my face and couldn't feel anything.Ariana walked up to me and whispered."Why did you come to work today?" "This would only make things worse"."What are you talking about Ariana?" "What's going on?"I asked her as we walked to the elevator and got in."Don't you know what's happening?" "There's an article about you and Mr Mark that's going wild", she said as she brought out her phone to show me.CEO OF MARK&CO ALLEGEDLY HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH HIS SECRETARY?I looked at the headline in shock and I clicked on it.This article was stupid. It said that Lewis was married and I was his mistress.I scrolled down and saw another one that wasn't so bad.LEWIS MARK SEEN ON A ROMANTIC DATE WITH SECRETARY GIRLFRIEND.I checked the comme
Epilogue 2.We left the building and came back to the hotel. A very worried looking Mason stood outside the hotel with Kaden and Aysha.When we got out of the car, Mason hugged Stephanie and he looked like he was going to cry."I tried to come up with something, but he saw through me", Aysha said in defeat."I'm sorry Mason, I shouldn't have run away", Stephanie said."I understand Steph.""I promise to be the best husband and father, so please don't feel like you're making a mistake", he said and she nodded."Now, shall we go to bed?""We don't want to attend your wedding with dark circles", Kaden said and we all laughed."Let's go", Lewis said."You may now kiss the bride!"The officiator said and Mason kissed Stephanie.It was such a wonderful occasion and we cheered at the new couple.I was reminded of my wedding with Lewis and it brought tears to my eyes when."Why are you crying at someone else's wedding?"Lewis said, handing me a tissue."Shut up, you're so annoying", I said an
Epilogue 1"So, Vic, can you give us tips on how to get a rich man like Lewis?"My co worker, Rose asked.Lewis and I had been married for two and a half years now, and he always came to pick me up after work, despite his busy schedules. Whenever he came by, different women would stop by to stare at him and take pictures of him.He looked like a model, and bringing such a fancy car to my workplace surely didn't help matters."Oh come on, you're making it sound like I'm a professional at that", I said and we laughed.It was our lunch break and I was having lunch with Rose, Sarah and Keira.We had been close ever since I started working there and we formed a friendship circle with Aysha, Stephanie and Ariana.Occasionally, they would visit our home and we would chase away the men whilst we had fun all by ourselves.We made small talk after which I reminded them that we needed to pick up our dresses for Stephanie and Mason's wedding.It was the next day and we were all excited about it.
Chapter 25 : The Reunion Part 3Lewis hugged me before he rubbed my tummy."I can't explain how happy I am, you're pregnant!!" "We're going to get a mini Victoria or Lewis", he said excitedly and I smiled."We're so happy for you kids.""Lily can you believe we're about to have double grandchildren?"Lewis' dad asked his wife."Tell me about it, we have so much planning to do", come now, lets leave the children alone to enjoy their evening", Mrs Lily said as she dragged her husband out of the living room."Can't say I'm not proud of you lil brother, you made me an uncle within a month", Lucas said as he hugged Lewis."I have to say the same about you bro, and Aysha, you'd make a lovely mother", Lewis said and Aysha thanked him."You both will make lovely parents," Aysha said and we all laughed."Yeah, I just hope Lewis doesn't put our child in the washing machine to bathe him one day", I said jokingly and Lewis narrowed his eyes at me and we all laughed.The rest of the evening was p
Chapter 25 : The Reunion Part 2"Now, start speaking", I said to Aysha but she quickly ran into the kitchen to get me a snack."Why don't you have this first before we start discussing best friend", she said, trying to bribe me.I didn't want to give in but I was strangely feeling hungry but I needed to focus."You're dating Lucas?""Really?"I said to her, dropping the snack she brought."Uhh, yeah it happened before the wedding actually, he seemed really sweet and you were busy with preparations so he assisted me during those days and we kinda...you know, fell in love?""You? "In love?""I'll be a monkey's uncle", I said in a sarcastic tone."No I'm serious Vic, I love him and he loves me too." "I'm really serious about him", she said truthfully and I could feel her sincerity."Okay, if you say so.""I support you and I'm sure Lewis will be happy about this too." "He likes you and I'm sure he'd be glad that you're with his brother", I said and she hugged me."Now let's eat okay?"
Chapter 25 : The Reunion Part 1The next morning.I woke up but didn't find Lewis in the bedroom.I could hear sounds coming from the kitchen so I wondered if he was making breakfast.I tried to get up to go and meet him but my legs were wobbly and I couldn't move well.Lewis sure had a lot of stamina because he didn't stop until after the fifth round, which I practically begged him to stop or else I was going to collapse. It was both our first time but it felt like it was going to be my last if he didn't stop. I managed to get into the bathroom to wash up and brush my teeth before going down to meet him. I wasn't stupid enough to go and meet my husband with morning breath. He heard my footsteps and greeted me before placing our plates on the table.He wasn't wearing a shirt, just shorts and he looked damn sexy. I would have pounced on him but I was still sore and wasn't ready for another round.I kissed him on the lips and thanked him before I sat down to eat.I finished eating an
Chapter 24 : The Wedding Night Part 2"Ehehem we'll see you soon April, good bye", I said while pushing her.On our way to the hotel, the car ride was silent before I decided to speak up."Are you okay?" We both asked in unison before laughing."Yeah, I'm just glad that this nightmare is finally over", I said."Me too, I hope Mason reflects on himself more so that he and Stephanie can sort things out", Lewis replied."Yeah, I mean it's gonna be hard to forgive the person who raped you, it must be hard because you're always gonna be reminded of what they did when you look at them", I said and Lewis' mouth dropped from a smile to a firm line."What?" I asked him."Speaking of which, I didn't want to bring it up before the wedding because I didn't want you to feel bad, but Kaden asked me to apologise to you", Lewis said and I looked away.I remembered it like yesterday, Kaden ripping off my dress and attempting to violate me. I didn't think much of it because he was drunk but I was ups
Chapter 24 : The Wedding Night Part 1MASON.His shirt was stained with blood from his injury and we could see the fury in his eyes.He grabbed the mic with his injured arm from the MC and started to speak."So, you all are having fun right?""But first of all, congratulations to the latest couple in town.""Mr and Mrs Lewis Mark.""I was deeply hurt when you guys didn't invite me to the wedding, but I'm so glad that I get to attend the reception to give you both a great wedding gift that you'll love so much.""You really had me there Mark, with that crazy stunt you pulled today, I must say I'm a bit impressed.""Using that cop to deceive me was a really cool idea but too bad I'm too smart.""Mason stop!" Stephanie said as she stood in front of him."Oh Stephanie, I knew I'd see you here", he said as he walked towards here but stopped when he noticed her belly.The mic fell from his hands as he looked at her in shock."You're, you're pregnant?"He asked her as he got close to her but
Chapter 23 : The Wedding Part 2Victoria's POV"Picture time!!"Aysha said as she guided everyone to the photography area.We took pictures with all our guests and took individual ones.Lewis looked so handsome in his suit and I couldn't believe that he was now my husband.I took pictures with Stephanie too and she looked really beautiful in them. Her baby bump was getting bigger now and I couldn't help but rub her tummy."It's all over now," she said as she hugged me."I don't know, Mason fled before the police could get him.""I think he's still gonna try something funny, so we have to be careful,"I said worriedly."You're right, we have to be alert.""But let's not let that good for nothing jerk spoil your big day okay.""We need to head to the reception now, so let's get going.""You're riding with your HUSBAND and we'll follow behind okay?"She said and put emphasis on the husband and I couldn't help but laugh. If not for her, I would be dead by now. Lewis and I already planned
Chapter 23 : The Wedding Part 1Mason's POV How dare that bastard punch me.He was going to pay dearly for messing with me. 10 years later and he thinks he's big enough to stand before me. He was wrong. I would make him regret his actions. My plans were going smoothly. On their wedding day, a car would take Victoria to an unknown location. I couldn't care less what would happen to her after then. I only wanted one thing and that was for Lewis to know what it felt to loose someone you loved.Right from the start, I never liked him. When were in high school, he was loved by every female in the school. He acted like he didn't like the attention, but I know very well that he did and he enjoyed it. Because of him, my then crush Gloria stopped talking to me. I was known as the best student before his arrival, but things changed once he came. Girls would line up to talk to me but they stopped after Lewis came. My friends would hang out with him because of the gifts he would usually giv
