Vera's POVI thought I would have time to convince myself that everything was going to be okay but I didn't. I found out the dinner was tomorrow and I was freaking out. What if his family didn't like me, What if they hated red headsBasically I was an anxious mess. Lexi had tried severally to convince me that I was just worrying for no reason and she was sure they would love me but I couldn't take her words for it. I would have to meet his two uncles from his father's side , their kids and wives. Julius's mother was an only child but her mother was coming as well. So I had a lot of people to try and please.. "You're worrying for nothing doll. I'm sure they would love you, you don't have to try too hard"Julius spoke so comfortably as he snacked on some popcorn I held in my hand. We were watching a movie trying to get my mind off the fact that the dinner was in the next 3 hours. I sat between his open legs backing him while his head was rested on mine as he stole my popcorn
Unknown person's POV"Where are they right now""In their family home boss""They are enjoying themselves""Good"I smiled, knowing well they won't expect what was coming for them. Their biggest mistake was forgetting me and forgetting I'm a force to be reckon with. "Keep an eye on themWait for my signal""Yes boss"Putting down the phone I felt the satisfaction of being a step closer to getting rid of my enemies. Julius thought locking me away in a cell and torturing me will bring me down for good. He's really blind. And that Vera was really a piece of candy. The memory of her in that red and sexy dress never left my mind. Julius really didn't deserve her and I was going to make sure she becomes mine. I never got anything I deserved. I had to struggle and after everything I ended up below Julius. I will make him and his entire family pay for everything. I will make him watch as I take what is his and then I will kill him. Vera's PovI stirred in a strong per of arms. Kno
Julius's POVI smiled at Vera's cuteness as she ran into the house. I gave her a few minutes to herself before going in after her. Guessing she would have gone to the kitchen for some water, I went there and I stopped when I saw shattered glass on the floor and an empty bottle of water on the table. My heart started racing as I stormed out of the kitchen yelling out Vera's name. I had this painful feeling that something was terribly wrongMy yelling brought everyone back in to the house"What's wrong Julius? "Uncle Richard walked up to me placing his hand on my shoulder"VeraShe-she's gone""Gone? What do you mean by gone? ""I don't know mother. I walked into the kitchen and there was glass shattered everywhere. I just have this bad feeling"I was panicking as I ran a hand through my hair"Calm down sonWe'll check all over the house"They split up to check and I ran up to our room hoping by some miracle she would be having a shower or something. But my heart sank when she
Vera's POVWalking into the music room everywhere was dead silent. I held mother's book close to me like it was the only thing I had that was stable right now. I opened it and flipped to a slow and passionate song as I set it in front of me, taking a seat on the piano bench. I had found out num was a pianist and she composed her own tunes. I was so thankful to aunt for making me take piano classes. It made me feel closer to mum. I wish I knew her. I started to play a slow and sad tune depicting the way I felt I didn't know when tears started falling down my cheeks. I felt someone's presence close to me. I laid my head on his shoulder once he sat down next to me. Placing his hand on the other side of the keyboard we played the song in a duet and it brought more tears to my eyes as I couldn't hold it. He cupped my face in his hands"I'm sure she misses you too doll"Julius wiped my tears and kissed my eyes. I wiped my eyes sniffling. I hugged him and he wrapped his hands a
Julius's POVVera has been a little distant off recent and I had no idea why. I had a feeling it could be because I had been spending most of my time at work and not with her, so today I planned to get off work early and spend some quality time with my doll. I got into my car ready to drive home when my phone rang"Lexi? "I spoke bringing the phone up to my ear"Come to the hospital. It's Vera"My heart started racing as Lexi put down the phoneWas there something wrong with my doll? Was that why she has been distantI took off to the hospital driving like a maniac not bothering to consider the traffic lights or constant horns from other drivers. I needed to be with my doll. Ariving at the hospital I rushed in and met Lexi in front of the room I was told Vera was in. "What happened!? "I asked panicking "We were at homeShe said she was feeling dizzy and I went to get her some water but when I got back she had fainted on the floor"My heart sank and I was scared out of shitl
Julius POV"The meeting is by 5pm tomorrow" I informed, hoping I didn't actually have to remind him about it. "Better get those files on my table by tomorrow morning" I ordered, my voice unwavering and seriousAldonis was pissing me off, he'd been messing up all the work I'd been giving to him lately and it was very annoying to say the least. He'd come to work two hours late and leave all the work for me to do at the last second. Don't get me wrong I wasn't a lazy boss neither was I the type to leave all the work for my workers but the individual responsibilities I assign to each one of them should be dutifully carried out and Aldonis seemed to be forgetting the strict rules this business follows. As my right hand he is expected the most from. He is my most trusted out of all and I expected more from him. "Okay boss, I'll get to it". I nodded unconsciously as I put down the phone, deflating into my seat. "Don't forget the dinner Julius" father reminded from beside me and I groaned
Vera POV"Don't come in here!" She screamed, making me halt in my tracks "I don't want you to catch the flu too!". Nina's voice boomed from behind her closed door."But I can take care of youI have a bowl of chicken soup with me!". I shouted back to her looking down at the bowl of soup in my hands, I sniffed the steam rising from it having prepared it a few minutes ago and smiled, loving the gingery scent"No no, don't worry about it. I-i can take care of myself. Mum is here to take care of me. Go to practice, when you're back in sure I'll feel a lot better"I remained quiet and bit on my lower lip thinking.Should I leave Nina in this condition and go for practice? I'm sure it wouldn't hurt if I'd miss a session. She wouldn't even let me see her.I had come by her room an hour ago to find out why she wasn't here yet.Louis was already waiting at the door to take us to practice like he always does, but 30 mins of waiting and Nina hadn't come down yet"Nina isn't here yet"Louis sai
Julius POVFlipping the document closed I sighed, running a hand through my disheveled hair in utter exhaustion. I had to deal with as much work as I possibly could to make up for the time of waste in that dinner. Directing my gaze to the digital clock that sits at my desk I groaned at the time reading; 6:20pm.The dinner was at 7 and dad expected me to be punctual. Considering the unreasonable distance between my office and home I didn't think he would expect me to arrive before our guests, but he was my father and his expectations for the future heir were high. Putting aside his ridiculous idea of my marriage, I rolled my eyes at the thought, I wouldn't be caught dead getting married to someone who'd just be with me for money and power. My mother was the exact example of an ideal woman, every other slut I met just needed one night and a suitcase of money. Money could buy their bodies, their values and their very beings, they were a very disgraceful species and I would be damned if
