Laura's POV:As I got out of the taxi and made my way to the penthouse elevator of Greene, my heart was pounding with nerves and anticipation. I had to see him, no matter what it took. I must see Greene. When I reached the penthouse, the guards outside stopped me, asking who I was. This wasn't the time for this. These Meatheads should get out of my way. But I decide to play it cool else they might think I'm some psychopath. I took a deep breath and told them my name, and demanded to see Greene. At first they were hesitatant but then they made a call to their boss and I could hear him yelling at them to let me in.The guards reluctantly led me to Greene's suite, and left me alone in the room. As I waited, I heard a sound coming from the bathroom. Before I knew it, Greene stepped out of the shower, wearing nothing but a bathrobe. I felt uncomfortable and guilty, as a married woman, being in such close proximity to another man."Well, well, well," Greene grinned lustfully at me.
Reiner's POV: Reiner," Laura began, her voice suddenly hardening. "Tell me what is going on."I sat across from Laura in a small bamboo cabin by the beach. The warm air and the sound of the rain tapping against the roof set a calming ambiance as we were about to enjoy the dinner for two I had prepared.The table was set with a crisp white tablecloth and adorned with a vase of tropical flowers. Our plates were filled with grilled seafood and vegetables, paired with a smooth red wine. The romantic mood was palpable, as the soft light from the candles cast a warm glow over the room.I took a deep breath and reached across the table to take Laura's hand. "Laura, there's something I need to tell you," I began. "I know this may come as a surprise, but I have a confession to make."Laura's eyes lit up with expectation, and she leaned forward, eager to hear what I had to say. I took a moment to gather my thoughts, trying to find the right words to say what I needed to say."Laura, I've b
Reiner's POV:I arrived at Greene's penthouse, where I was greeted with a warm welcome from my host. We made our way to the living room where I was entertained by the magnificent view of the city.As we sat, Greene brought out a bottle of wine and we toasted to our friendship and future business endeavors.We drank the wine, savoring its rich flavor, as we talked about life and business.I then brought up the topic of Laura. Since Greene wanted me to test her, to see if she was truly the woman I thought she was, I had come prepared with a plot in mind. I challenged him to try to convince her to divorce me and marry him instead. That was his role. Greene was taken aback by my boldness, but I could tell he couldn't resist the opportunity to show his skills.I then reminded him of the eight hundred million dollars he had placed on the bet and Greene couldn't help but laugh. "I can never forget the large sum of money at stake, Reiner," Greene said. "Trust me. I won't back down on thi
Laura's POV:"Who's this idiot?" He yelled at her, his voice sounding like knives. "You wronged and you have the audacity to spit rubbish at Caesar?""I said nothing wrong," Audrey fired back, but you could tell her voice was croaked. Sweat beads were forming on her forehead. "You're just terribly rude and I don't like it, Reiner!""You dare call me rude?" Reiner bawled, banging his fist on his desk, upsetting the files and documents piled on each other. "You're rude to Caesar. You've got no idea who I am. I'll send you and your ancestors to the pit of hell where you came from, bitch. You've got no shame and respect. You've got a fucking smelling pussy you left unwashed for three good days!"I felt chill rush through me. Reiner's got a cursed tongue if you know what I mean. He knows where to strike to make you cry. "I won't stand for this," Audrey stood up sharply, her back stiff with rage and her voice shrieking loud and clear. "You're the most horrible man I've ever dated. Exhibit
Laura's POV:Reiner pushed me against the office walls immediately I said his name. His hands left my mouth. Before I knew it, he locked his lips with mine. I was startled. I couldn't stop him either, he kissed me so hard and tight till I beat him and begged him to stop.But he didn't stop. Instead he trailed his fingers between my laps sending an electric sensation flooding my entire body. To my dismay, my pussy vibrated in anticipation. I didn't know when his fingers found it's way into my pantie.I drew in a sharp breath as Reiner broke our kiss. I couldn't believe what was happening. Things were going too fast for me to comprehend. I was glued to the wall with my boss standing in between my legs. He didn't even seek my consent. The looks in his blank lustful eyes told me he had lost his Sanity. Reiner was as drunk as a fish. I knew there and then that I was finished. I couldn't overpower him. He was more stronger and powerful than me. If I did struggle, he'd take advantage o
Laura's POV:The next day, I sat behind my desk, answering calls and liaising with clients competently. Reiner hadn't arrived at work yet. He was late. This was a big relief to me because it made my job way more easier. It took me a great deal of effort to prepare for work and leave my hotel suite. It also took me a humongous resolve to seat down behind my desk and pretend to work as my usual self. I had arrived much earlier than Reiner so I could arrange his office and draft out his schedules for the day. I also took the extra efforts to read his mails and sort out the most pressing message he needed to reply to. My goal was to avoid frequenting his office throughout today. I didn't want Reiner to call me into his office over minor things. I took care of the big tasks so he would get himself busy with the little ones.So far so good, I didn't see any reason why I should walk into his office for the rest of the day. This office has become the most dreadful place in my entire life
Laura's POV:Jerry was rushed to the hospital immediately. Everything had happened so fast it left me with nothing to think about. All I was worried about was Jerry. Reiner's punch had socked the life out of him, finishing him for good. Luckily for Jerry, he survived Reiner's devastating left hook but it left him with little or no energy to stand up. I had completely forgotten Reiner did boxing every day as part of his morning routine before he gets down to work. He even had a big boxing ring built in Sun island where he hosts fights every Friday nights as another major source of cash revenue in the sector of sports and entertainment. Even though Reiner, a middle weight holder, isn't ready to make a career out of boxing, he makes a great deal of money out of his Friday night boxing fights that he hosts on the island. As I waited in the waiting room, my mind went to work on various thoughts that suffocated me inside. Reiner hadn't even given Jerry a glance. Instead he yelled at
Reiner's POV:"....Sign the marriage contract or you're fired!"I leaned back in my seat and waited for her next line of action. Up until now, I had done nothing but set-up the perfect worse case scenario if she chose not to sign the contract. Laura was conflicted inside. This was a tough decision for her to make. From where I sat, I saw that her hands were far from steady. "What the hell are you waiting for?" I thundered, causing her to quiver. "I-I need some time to think about this, Caesar. This...this is too sudden," she replied, her voice croaked. I leaned forward at her and pointed my index finger at her. "If there's one thing I hate more than anything is someone who wastes my goddamn time. I've got a busy schedule today so I'd like to get this out of the way. You were given two options, Laura. Choose wisely and quickly."Laura glanced down at the marriage contract and the retrenchment letter, sweat beads building up on her face. What a tight spot to be in but that's why I

Laura's POV:It's been a whole month since then. Reiner and I never had an argument again but we were at it again and it started out of nowhere. Unexpected, like a trap. I was at home nursing the kids when Reiner walked in and announced that he wants to take me out on a date. I couldn't help but feel a wave of happiness wash over me. It had been a while since we went out together, and I was looking forward to some alone time with my husband."Laura, get dressed, I'm taking you out," Reiner said with a smile. I couldn't help but feel a flutter in my stomach at the thought of getting dressed up and going out with my husband.I walked to my closet and picked out my favorite dress. It was a beautiful, red, off-the-shoulder dress that hugged my curves in all the right places. I paired it with a pair of strappy heels and some simple jewelry.As I got ready, I couldn't help but think about the hardships our family was facing. We were still struggling financially, and it had been a diff
Laura's POV:I was sitting beside Greene in his luxury car, staring out the window in shock. We were driving on the road when he made a shocking offer - to divorce my husband and become his wife. "How about you leave Reiner and become my wife?"He made it sound so easy. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I was so shocked I couldn't say a word. Greene and I had what you might call a good business-relationship. He's one of Griffen Groups elite clients and he thinks so highly of me. Due to our strong bond, Reiner always lets me to handle him. If someone had told me Greene had more in mind for me aside business, I wouldn't have believed it. Greene's the only child of his family. As such, he inherited everything his father left behind. He's one spoilt rich kid but he's got a sharp mind for business and how he runs the family company. Green was four years younger than me. I learnt earlier on he's got a big taste for older women. I don't like this. How could his eyes fall on me s
Laura's POV:It's been three months since Reiner and I moved into our new home. I never could have imagined that living in poverty would be such a difficult experience.The house itself is not the problem, but the challenges it brings are numerous. For one, we can barely afford to put food on the table. We're constantly cutting back on meals and going without things we used to take for granted. The kids are always hungry and I can see it in their faces.But that's not the worst of it. Wendy, who also lives with us now, has suddenly turned against me. She blames me for our financial problems and calls me the cause of all our troubles. It's not fair, but I can't shake the feeling that she may be right. Ever since I put to bed, it's been one problem from another. I couldn't shake it. Last night, Reiner and I were in bed and I couldn't help but voice my frustrations."Reiner, we've got to talk," I said as he got on the bed beside me. "Honey I'm tired. Can we have this talk some
Laura's POV:Three weeks later, I put to bed. I had just given birth to my twin babies and my parents were by my side, congratulating me on a safe delivery. "Look at them," mom said, brightly. "They're both girls. Isn't that such a blessing?""Reminds me of the good old days," Dad complemented. "You gave me twins and now Laura's given Reiner the same.""And they're identical," mom noticed. "I feel so proud to be a grandmother."Billy stood in front of the baby's crib, watching quietly as he stared at his twin sisters. I was tired but elated, and couldn't wait to hold my little ones in my arms. I wished Reiner had stayed longer to see these babies but he had been called to an urgent meeting. Wendy said it was an emergency which was why he took off after dropping me at the hospital while I was in labour. I hope he makes it back here, real quick. He's my husband and I'd like him to name the twins. Just as I was basking in the joy of becoming a mother of my lovely twins, Reiner, wa
Laura's POV:I was seated in the midst of my family as we talked about Jerry and what had transpired last night. Having kidnapped each of us individually, it seemed a miracle we were all back together safe and sound. Everyone shared their story, each person taking their time to give an accounted details. Mom started first. It appears Jerry had been watching Clair and mom since she put to bed. He had his men followed them on their way to the airport and that was how he kidnapped them. Dad was at home when a group of men bursted into his house and took him that same day.As for me, Jerry appeared in our home with two men who blindfolded me and took me away. Jerry told me how it happened.The house he locked Clair and I in was the basement of an old winery. He didn't disclose the address to me. And I never cared to know the address either. Mom was taken to a warehouse while Dad was taken to a different location. The beach cabins were rented out by Jerry to ensure his game was saf
Reiner's POV:"You monster," I heard Laura yelled. "You will pay for what you've done to my family."Jerry laughed, "The game's just getting started. You might get a heart attach from what comes next."I pulled away from Clair, breaking our kiss as I glared at my phone which was still on FaceTime with Jerry. My heart was racing as I glared at the call, feeling a mix of anger and fear."I did it," I said, my voice cold and menacing. "Now it's time to release my wife."But Jerry just laughed. "It's not over yet," he said. "You remember that little moment where you forced me to watch that recorded sex video of you and my fiancée, Laura? Well, I've still haven't gotten over it and I'm not afraid to use it against you now."I felt a knot form in my stomach as I heard Laura gasp in shock from beside Jerry. "Reiner, is that true?" she asked, her voice trembling.I bowed my head, unable to look her in the eyes. "Yes," I whispered. "It's true."Jerry laughed again, a cruel, victorious sound.
