I couldn't think straight and worst of all the only time I got water was when my insane sister put my head inside a bowl of water.She only fed me dry bread everyday once. I can't believe Diana would treat me like that even though I disliked her, I would have never done what she did.Just when I thought I would pass out from all the torture, I saw him.Reymond, I knew he would come for me. I also saw Francis behind me even when my vision was blurring. Few seconds after he came, I lost consciousness.I blacked out. I had no idea what happened after but when I woke up, I saw myself on a hospital bed with a drip attached to my hand.I turned and saw Reymond.“Vera.” He said, his eyes examining my face.“'Re..y..mo…n..d…” I called out.“It's okay, You don't have to say anything. Just rest.”I could barely talk well without my mouth hurting me. It hurt so much, so I didn't talk after th

VERA'S POV.After work, I and Raymond drove home in separate cars but we got home at the same time. Simultaneously we shut the car door. Before ei could get to him, he hurriedly walked into the house, avoiding every form of eye contact whatsoever.Unluckily for him, we were heading to the same bedroom. By the time I got upstairs to meet him, he was always in the shower. "Hmm, tha was fast." I scoffed as I unbuttoned my shirt and unzipped my skirt.I was still in the wardrobe when I heard the shower stop and the bathroom door was unlocked. Still in my inner wears, I revealed myself to him. As I stepped out of the closet, I was welcome by his broad, muscular back, his waistline was wrapped in a white towel although his v-line was very obvious not hidden or exposed."Raymond, I want to talk to you." I said to him, afraid I wouldn't get a response."What do you have to say? I have limited time with plenty of work to do." He responded still arranging his clothes. He didn't even give me one
VERA'S POV"What are you doing here?!" The shock in my voice when he saw me caused him to instantly lift his head."I came to see you.""I darted my eyes at the gate as my two hands were already rolled in tightly clenched fist. I inhaled deeply trying to calm myself down especially since I just had one of the worse days ever and now Fransisco came to make me feel even worse."How are you?""What does that even mean? Fransisco do you realized you are not welcomed here? And if not that I haven't infirmed the men at the gate about you, you should not be let in in the first place ?" I scoffed. " Please, to avoid creating more troubles for yourself just leave." I gestures towards the gates." Vera, I actually came here for you, please you can at least just hear me out."" Fransisco, the truth is that you have no reasonable thing to tell me, I just really think you should give yourself a break, now take yourself and leave the same way you brought yourself."Fransisco came closer to me, " v
VERA'S POVAs the door fell open, it revealed Diane's mother, and Diane too. They both looked frightened. Diane looked like she had just seen a ghost, she had her phone at her ear and when she saw us, she slowly let it down."What ...what are you doing here, who are you looking for?" Her voice broke as she spoke." What is wrong with you Diane?!" I questioned, my veins fuming with anger."Who do you think you are to come and barge into our house, break down our door and start asking my daughter questions." Diane's mother Dorothy got up and started asking questions. I glared at her, from head to toe. She was still the same. She still hadn't changed. She was still the same person she has been, the sake old wicked old lady I've known. "Raymond held my shoulders and pulled me back gently to stop me from speaking, " Relax." He grumbled.He walked closer to her " What is wrong with you Diane, you know what you did."" I don't know what you're talking about! You had better leave here. This
DIANE'S POV." Honey what did you do?""Mother, I did nothing wrong... I just wanted it to be like this. This is what she deserves, maybe next time she won't go frolicking around with men in the bar when she should be running the company which try belongs to me of course one which she stole."" Is that what this is all about,! I thought you two have grown way past this, I have already told you before, if anything ever begins to bother you, let me know so I can help you with a reasonable solution. Now that you've done this I doubt that you are aware of the fact that this is very risky. I don't want you to out yourself in trouble because of your jealousy for your stepsister. We've been on this thing for days, I still don't understand why you can't just let this beef go."" What does that even mean mother? Who's side are you on?"" Diane, Incase you didn't know, it has nothing to do with sides alright?I just want the best for you and clearly you never ever consider those kind of things,
Raymond's Pov While Vera and her assistant were too busy solving the case of trying to calm her customers down, I made a few phone calls, explaining to my friend who works in a cyber security team my dilemma and according to him, it won't be so easy to find who did it but it would be something he can do.I received a call from my assistant, "Hello?""Sir? Good day sir, sir please, we have not heard from you. I had to nullify the meeting yesterday because you never returned neither did you update me on where you were headed."Okay? So what exactly is your point now?"" Sir, my point is that I need you to come over to the office to let me know when I can make a reschedule."I scoffed at the manner at which my assistant spoke to me. " It seems as though you have forgotten who you're dealing with. Do you realize I am your boss?! Or have you forgotten?!" I scoffed again this one led to a loud burst in laughter."Now, listen to me and listen real good, unless you do not want to loose you
VERA'S POV" Why are you calling me? I thought I told you to never call my number?"" How could I possibly resist doing that after I saw the pictures you posted? You looked really sexy and it's not my fault that could not help it, I'm sorry. But let's meet up and talk mm? What do you think?"" Sorry, excuse me but aren't you like married to my sister? Why does it sound like you're flirting with me?"" Married to your sister?--"" Don't even think of denying it, clearly you're making it seem as though you're flirting, look I don't even know why you're talking to me, just so you know, you're trending all over the Internet, if you know what's good for you better go face your wife and your life, do not stress me Fransisco." I yelled and hung up immediately.What a douchebag, once a douchebag always one , i should have known. Now I'm wondering what Diane was thinking when she agreed to get married to this guy. I shook my head in disappointment. Now I'm worried about her but I won't let t
Vera's POVMy ears had been itching for the arrival of my husband in his black BMW which had just arrived the moment I finished placing all the deliciously cooked dishes on the dining table. Finally, he was here and I could hear the hard brakes screeching to a haut in such a hurry. In the next minute Francis walked into the house looking ghostly.He scanned the house decoration. On the wall was boldly written happy third wedding anniversary, on the table were mouth watery dishes and the aroma was irresistible."Welcome home Francis…” I kissed him on the lips but he did not return my kiss. He must be very tired. I thought to myself while I let him towards the table to eat.."I went through a lot getting everything ready. Do you like it?" I said to him, hoping to get a gleaming response but his words came out coldly."Yes."I frowned hard, even though I was trying to understand that it isn't in the nature of men to pay attention to every detail and perhaps always give compliments.
