Ray Pov

"Recounting today's events while staring at the woman who has become a huge part of my life in a short period made me realize today has been very eventful. What's more? Right when I got a call earlier today, I was sure I was in for a surprise.

After finding out the reason why she doesn't express any emotion since we met, everything became clearer to me, but I feel there's more to this. She seems different from what the investigation shows, but I'll make her open up with time.

She demanded to have sex with me for an experiment, which left me speechless. Then I decided to try my luck by turning this moment into convincing her to marry me, which she declined. She then decided to find someone else for her experiments, leaving me feeling hurt. I tried expressing my emotions, but I didn't. I don't know how to convince her, though. She's not used to being controlled, so I decided to go with the flow. She's different, and the difference is good.

The encounter with Ray Manchester had left me restless. My mind couldn’t shake the image of his handsome face and enticing voice. I had to make him mine. Every morning, I would dress meticulously, hoping today would be the day I crossed paths with Ray again. I attended every business event, every social gathering, and frequented his favorite haunts. Yet, he was nowhere to be found. Whenever I see someone I'm interested in the past, I always get them, I always get my man, and it won't be a different this time around.

    I left my room for my mummy's room. I needed her help with this. "Mommy, can I come in?" I asked after one knock. "Of course, baby, do come in." I went straight to her, knowing that coming into her room at this time of day meant daddy would stay longer in his study, as he usually did every night. "Do you need mummy's help with anything?" she asked. The best approach in this matter was for me to be calm. That way, I could get her to do anything I wanted. She loves me a lot and gives me whatever I desire—she's my mummy, after all. "Mummy, your Helena is hopelessly in love," I began, using the most innocent voice I could muster. "Really, baby? My baby is in love. Wow, who is the lucky guy?" I couldn't help but blush when mummy said it like that. "W e e e l l l........ I met him in Daddy's office." "I hope he’s not working there," she interrupted with a displeased look. I'm sure she was assuming I was talking about some lowlife with no money. "Of course not, mummy. He

My way of thinking has changed when it comes to her; I always lose my rational thinking. I know it's not possible to get pregnant within one night, but my brain and heart seem to be fighting with each other.

    Maybe I’ll just wait till later, we could talk once she’s done brushing her teeth. I decided to brush as well while one of my hand still wrapped around her waist. I’m certain now that our married life will be filled with bliss if she agrees though. After brushing we went straight to the shower together, I took the body wash and wash her myself which she didn’t disagree with. She enjoyed being served. h m mm that’s interesting Maybe her love language is act of service which she herself may not know yet, perhaps I could identify every emotions for her instead.

    "Do you need help with your revenge plan” I don’t need to know what's on her mind but If she wants me to take care of someone, I'll gladly do it. But I won't act without her instruction. “If I need help, I'll ask for it.” Well I will have to wait until she asks “By the way, don't forget the birth control on your way to work. Or better yet, let me get it for you.”I went out of the walk-in closet to the bedroom. I sent a text to Drake to get me a birth control pill as well as my outfit for the day. Few minutes later, I heard a knock at the door. I walked towards it to open it, and the maid handed me what I needed. 'Thank you,' I said.“You're welcome, young master,' she he replied. 'Is young mistress ready? Would you and young mistress prefer to have your breakfast here or come down for it?”I could sense her fear as she spoke. I'm used to people fearing me, even when they're just speaking to me. Growing up, I got accustomed to people feeling intense fear around me."Is your cloth h

    Helena paced her room, fuming. It had been days since she had access to her card and her dad kept trying to push to ball due to lack of funds and there was still no resolution. Every attempt to access the funds had been blocked, leaving her charity ball plans in jeopardy. She knew who was behind this, and the thought made her blood boil.The answer came later that evening. As she was sitting in the living room, her father entered, his face etched with frustration.“Helena, it’s worse than we thought,” he said, sinking into a chair. “Liliana has tightened her grip on the company’s finances. She’s the one blocking our access to the funds.”Helena’s jaw clenched. “I knew it. That bitch is doing this on purpose. But why now? Why block the funds when we need them the most?”“She’s trying to weaken us,” her father replied. “With no access to funds, we can’t host the ball or make any significant moves. She wants us to look vulnerable, unstable.”But how did she even know about the whole ball

    “Helena, love…” James called out. “Yes, Daddy?” she answered, lifting her head from what she was doing. "Have you sent all the invitations out to the investors?" he asked. Helena looked up, a bit confused, not sure what to say. “Well, Daddy, I sent two to three different invitations to Manchester,” she replied. James frowned slightly. "We want all the big names in New York City at the party. Ray Manchester has never shown up at an event like this before. He may be important, but he never shows up. You should know these things. Make sure every other investor is invited. This is about us making a comeback, about getting the funding back. And besides, I don't know where you got the funds from…" Helena’s heart raced as she scrambled for a convincing response. She couldn’t afford to let her father know about the arrangement with Mr. Blackwood. Thinking quickly, she put on her best reassuring smile and changed the whole funds topic. “Daddy, I understand how important this is,”

    Liliana’s voice wavered, but her anger burned steady. “What about the girl who grew up feeling unwanted?” she demanded, her hands trembling at her sides. “Do you have any idea what it’s like to be your daughter? To live a life where love was a distant dream?” Her breath hitched, her throat tightening. “Liliana’s life was miserable. Mine was too, growing up with you.”Evelyn flinched, her lips parting in a silent protest, but Liliana didn’t give her the chance to speak.“You said you were trying to protect me,” she continued, her voice thick with emotion, “but your protection felt more like a cage, Mother. Every single day, I felt trapped, suffocated by the life you built around me. I was always seeking, always pleading for freedom, even when I knew it was impossible.”Evelyn’s eyes shimmered with unshed tears, her expression contorted with guilt and confusion. “I—I only wanted to keep you safe…” she whispered.Liliana let out a bitter laugh, shaking her head. “Safe?” she spat. “You ca

    Liliana’s breath caught, and she took an involuntary step back. “So you didn’t see her—my twin—after that? You didn’t even try to stop him?”Evelyn shook her head frantically, tears spilling down her face. Her shoulders trembled as she clutched her arms, her entire body wracked with guilt. Perhaps she was too caught up in her emotions to notice that Lilly was referring to someone else, her words laced with an underlying recognition that she herself hadn’t fully grasped yet.“I tried, Liliana,” Evelyn choked out. “I begged him to tell me where she was. But he wouldn’t answer. He just kept saying it was necessary, that I wouldn’t understand. And then he disappeared.” She sucked in a shaky breath, her voice barely above a whisper. “He left me alone. With no way to find him. No way to find her.”The air in the room felt suffocating. Lilly’s nails dug into her palms, her hands clenched into tight fists at her sides. She was shaking, fury and betrayal crashing over her in violent waves.“Yo

    Lily felt like her Liliana entire existence was a sham. She had been living a lie, dead believing in a lie and the truth was only now beginning to unravel. The man who had tormented her, whom she thought was her father, was actually not her biological parent. It was a shocking revelation, and she couldn't wrap her head around it. How could this be? How could her whole life be a fabrication?As she grappled with these questions, Lily's emotions were in turmoil. She felt like she was vibrating with anger and frustration, and she couldn't seem to calm down. Her existence, her identity, everything she thought she knew about herself was a lie.And to make matters more complicated, she had just discovered that she had a twin sister, who was somehow seven years older than her. It didn't make sense - how could two people be twins, yet be born at different times? It was a mind-bending concept, and Lily was desperate for answers.She hoped that the explanation she was about to receive would be

    Evelyn’s voice broke as she began, her trembling hands gripping the edges of the chair she sat on. She couldn’t meet Liliana’s eyes. Her gaze seemed fixed somewhere in the distance, as if reliving the memories she was about to unveil.“When I found out I was pregnant, I was overjoyed,” she began, her tone soft and uneven, every word weighted with emotion. “It felt like my whole world had fallen into place. I was carrying a piece of the love I shared with your father—your father, Liliana. He was my anchor, my safe haven.”Her lips quivered as a small, bittersweet smile appeared, only to disappear almost immediately. “I still remember the tears on his face when I told him. He held me so tightly, like he was trying to hold on to the moment forever. We had so many dreams, plans to build a home, a family. We talked about the little things—what color the nursery would be, what names we’d pick. Life felt… perfect.”Her voice cracked, and she brought a trembling hand to her face, swiping away

    Evelyn walked slower when she saw her daughter’s figure from a distance, her voice carrying over, deeper with hurt. “You said you wanted to talk, right?” Liliana’s voice wavered, the tremble betraying the anger she tried to keep steady. She turned slightly, her hands clenched at her sides. “What do you want to talk about? Or are you here just to make sure I’m unhappy?” She laughed bitterly, her gaze falling to the ground for a moment before meeting Evelyn’s. “You know, Mother, if you really care as much as you claim, if you’re really here to make amends like you say, you wouldn’t have done what you did.” Evelyn stayed silent, her chest tightening as she watched Liliana brush at her cheeks roughly, trying to hold herself together. “Even if Ray had done something wrong,” Liliana continued, her voice sharp but trembling, “as a mother, you could have at least tried to hide it. Tried to make it seem like nothing was wrong. Do you know what I did, Mother?” She laughed again, this time s

    Ray’s protective instincts flared, his jaw tightening as he turned to Evelyn. “You what?” he demanded, his voice low and dangerous. Evelyn raised a hand, her expression placating. “Relax, Ray. That’s all in the past now. I came here to make amends, not to dredge up old wounds.” Liliana scoffed, folding her arms across her chest. “Amends? Is that what you’re calling this little stunt?” Evelyn smiled serenely, ignoring her daughter’s hostility. “Yes, darling. I’m here to make things right. You’ll see.” She turned her gaze back to Ray. “And as for you, young man, you seem like a good match for my daughter. I’m pleased she found someone who can handle her fire. But why are you cheating on her though.” Ray didn’t respond, his mind racing with questions and suspicions. He could feel Liliana trembling beside him, her emotions barely contained. He placed a reassuring hand on her back, silently promising her that he wouldn’t let this woman cause her any more pain. And that he didn’t cheat

    Finally, she swung the door open. There she was. Evelyn Altee stood on the doorstep, her radiant smile as poised as ever, her eyes sparkling with an unsettling calm. She looked utterly at ease, as though she had every right to be there, as though she hadn’t faked her own death or threatened Lilly just weeks ago. “Hello, darling,” Evelyn said sweetly, her voice as smooth as silk. Lilly stared at her, unable to form words. Her mother looked almost exactly as she remembered from the few weeks back, only that this time she looked better and emotional state seems balanced and the guilt and fear from weeks ago was gone. Evelyn’s smile widened, and she tilted her head slightly. “Aren’t you going to invite me in?” Lilly’s lips parted, but no sound came out. A wave of emotions crashed over her—shock, anger, confusion, and an overwhelming sense of betrayal. “Why…?” she finally managed to choke out, her voice trembling with disbelief. “Why are you here? After everything? You—” She broke o

    As they walked toward the dining room, Mitchell slowed her pace just enough to fall in step beside Ray, her expression calm but her eyes sharp. When she was sure Liliana wasn’t looking, she tilted her head slightly toward him and mouthed, “Have you told her? Or has she seen the news?”The weight of her question hit Ray like a ton of bricks. His smile faltered briefly before he quickly composed himself, shaking his head subtly in response. No.Mitchell’s lips pressed into a thin line, her eyes narrowing for a moment before she returned her attention to Liliana, who was inspecting a vase of fresh flowers near the dining room entrance.Ray inhaled deeply, forcing a smile back onto his face as he guided Liliana to her chair at the head of the table. “Here you go, baby girl. Sit tight, and I’ll get you settled.”But the moment he stepped back, Liliana’s gaze pinned him. Her eyes were sharp now, missing nothing. “What are you two hiding from me?” she asked, her voice cool and measured, devo

    Ray chuckled, his hand gently resting on the curve. “I think it has, love. Our little one’s making their presence known.”Liliana’s cheeks flushed as she stepped out of his hold and dashed toward the walk-in closet, her curiosity getting the better of her. She stood in front of the full-length mirror, turning this way and that, examining her figure with wide eyes.“I can’t believe it,” she murmured, a soft smile spreading across her face as she touched her belly.Ray leaned against the doorway, his heart swelling at the sight of her so captivated by the change. “You look beautiful,” he said warmly, his voice full of love.Liliana glanced back at him, her eyes shining. “I’m fascinated. I mean, I knew it would happen, but seeing it… feeling it…” She trailed off, her hand lingering over the gentle curve.Ray stepped behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist and resting his chin on her shoulder. “It’s incredible, isn’t it? And it’s only going to get better from here.”She turned her
