/Grey’s POV/ “Can I talk to you for a few seconds?” I speak up, gesturing at Kyle after leaving everyone to jubilate for a while. “As long as you people talking means that I get take my bestie inside, then you guys will be joining us later, then I am super cool with that,” she tables her condition while I stop to process what she is saying especially because Kyle keeps acting like he doesn’t know that I just want to get rid of the talkative blonde so that we can talk in private. “Whatever sails your boat,” I reply to her because I will subscribe to anything just to get her off my track. “I like that…” she says sending me an exaggerated wink while shaking her body back and forth. “I know that we are going to get along so well,” she says as she moves from my side and goes away from the window. “What the hell man?” I mouth to Kyle as soon as Miss Blonde’s attention is focused on talking to my little crush. “Calm down man! I got this,” he assures me, and I hiss because he is ac
/Valeri’s POV/ I waited for my bestie to come up with an excuse that would stop me from going to the Remington’s mansion which happens to be my worst nightmare at the moment, and the next minute she showed up with Grey’s smoking hot best friend. I was still trying to process why she came in person instead of getting back to me like we agreed on the phone then I saw how she was all over Grey acting like a crazy fan girl to obviously annoy him. While still on the topic of annoying my husband, I found out that the idea that she wanted to come up with was a double date between Grey, me, her, and Kyle.Even though I was dying out of embarrassment, I had to act cool about the whole situation while praying deep down that she won’t irritate Grey any further than she was already doing because I knew that I will be the one to suffer the consequences of her actions. Thankfully, Grey was not in the mood to act like the egoistic and self-centered person that he always is because he just allow
|Grey’s POV| I blink back in shock to process everything that Kyle just said to me and the only logical explanation behind his action is that he abandoned me just to have fun with his latest catch and it is extremely annoying. Kyle is the president of the Playboy’s Association in this city, and as much as he takes spreading his payboy gospel seriously, he puts me second to none, so I just don’t get why he put that blonde above me. “Did I overreact by any chance?” I stop to ask myself. “Well…. I guess Kyle is right and we can take the night off from worrying about this whole revenge thing,” I try to convince myself as I get out of the car. On getting out of the car, I saw the driver standing outside, so I beckon for him to come closer. “You sent for me sir,” he says as soon as he approaches me. “I am going inside for a party, but I don’t know how long the party is going to last, so just be on standby so that if I need to go home before daybreak, I won’t have to start looking for
|Valeri’s POV| “Water…water,” I mutter half asleep as the thirst sensation and oral dryness at the back of my throat become unbearable for me but no one is answering me. “Vee…..please get me water,” I plead because my head is seriously pounding, so I just want to drink water and go back to sleep to see if sleeping a little bit more will help to relieve my headache. “Here you go,” a male voice that is completely different from that of my bestie’s voice offers and the alarm in my head goes off as I swiftly flutter my eyes open to see who it is, forgetting the throbbing pain in my head. “Ouch…” I wince in pain. “You had a little too much to drink last night, so I asked the kitchen to prepare a hangover soup for you and it should be here in no time,” he informs and on hearing that, my eyes start to dart back and forth around the room to take in my environment. Hold up… Wait a minute… “How did I leave the party venue yesterday night?” “Most importantly, why am I in the Remington ma
|VALERI’S POV| I stay in bed pondering on what to do with myself and my life now that everything is progressing fast. I won’t say that I didn’t see this coming, I know that a lot of things that I experienced in my past life are bound to happen again especially because I have lived that life before, but I was hoping to keep stalling because I was looking for the best way to deal with the situation, but I don’t think I have that luxury of time anymore especially when Grey took laws into his hands and brought me all the way here without permission. No matter what I need to do in this life, one thing that I am very sure of is that the history of me living in the same house with Grey Remington’s legal wife and having them play me for a fool can not repeat itself, but the question now is how can I get Maddison Remington out of this house especially when she is hiding under the identity of Grey’s first cousin? “Will look unreasonable if I bring up the issue in front of Grey?” “Most impor
|VALERI’s POV| After spending the whole day waiting for Grey to reply to my message so that I could get over the over-familiarity/ me trying to tolerate the two-faced bitch who has been trying to get into my good graces by showing me around the house, giving me movie recommendations for kick-ass heroines and even going as far as watching the movie with me instead of giving me breathing space and leaving me alone. I didn’t know how to react around her, especially when I could see through her façade of niceness, so I had to put her to good use by asking her to recommend movies for me because I am still new to this scheming and manipulation lifestyle. She instead on watching the movie with me because she claimed that getting into my personal space to understand my likes and dislikes will help us know each other better which is entirely new to me because the longest conversations that we had in a day, in comparison with my past life because I was occupied with sucking up to my family an
|VALERI’S POV| Instead of saying anything in reply to the question that I just asked, the line suddenly goes dead on my bestie's side before my phone starts to vibrate on my ear, and on checking my phone to see what the fuss is about, I get a request of Vee asking me to switch the facetime audio to a facetime video. “Why did you suddenly switch the call?” I question Vee as soon as I accept the call request. “Because I wanted you to say whatever you had to say to my face,” she answers and I wait for her to say something in reply to what I previously asked her. “You asked me to work for you?” she interrogates me with a raised eyebrow. “I know that the fact that you are still yet you gain your foothold in the modeling industry as an upcoming model and content creator doesn’t mean that I should limit you to my father's company, or have you put your eggs in one basket, but more than me wanting you to work as a model in my father's company, I need you to work for me because in a place l
|GREY’S POV| As if dealing with a drunk wife the whole night was not enough, my first wife came to the room to ally with my ‘little crush’ this morning right in front of me, using the identity of my first cousin and that is rather Unsettling because I have thought of various reason why Maddison will want to be friends with someone like Valeri especially when both of them look so incompatible but the only logical explanation that I can find is that Maddison just wants to make things hard for me even though I already warned her to stay out of my business. “Not today Satan,” I muttered as I walked out of the room because I had a lot of stuff to take care of, especially concerning Maddison’s father who is now on my radar so I couldn’t add Madison’s silly stunt to what I had on my plate. I have been busy with Kyle the whole day trying to figure out how we are going to start putting the people that we bought over at Donald’s Couture to work because I want to take over Donald’s property
