VERA'S POV" Are you ready to leave?""I sure am, sir." "Mmm... Get into the car." Raymond growled as he shut the car door shut on his own side, Today is supposed to be my first day at work, I was super excited I just couldn't wait to sit in the chair that was provided for the CEO. I still hadn't heard anything from Diane but I received a call from Harold that she came around and when she heard that the rumors were true, she flipped. I just knew that the look on her face would have been super funny. I sat at the other end of the car seat. Raymond's gaze constantly moved from his phone to the outside. He never said a word to me, the drive was awkwardly quiet but I was just too busy in my head. I still couldn't believe how my life had turned out. It felt like a dream. I was in the the car of a billionaire, sitting as his wife as his driver drove me to my company which I inherited from my sweet grandfather.At this point in my life, I was sure that nothing could go wrong. I mean, I ha
VERA'S POV I furrowed my brows at him, unsure if I could trust his words. The last experience I had with him taught me nothing but to be very careful with putting all my trust in people. "Vera? Give me a response please?" He probed." I'm sorry Fransisco, but I cant go anywhere with you, you have a problem. The last thing I want to do is trust you again, we both know how that ended up the last time."" Is that what this is about? I've explained it all to you V."" Don't call me that, it's Vera to you!" I watched him let out a sigh and brush his hands through his hair. He placed his hands on his waist and glared at me, " What do you want me to do for you to believe that I mean no harm?"" I have no idea of what you're talking about, alright?you don't have to prove anything to me because I already know how you are, I already know that you're wearing a mask, you're a pretender, you're a liar and a thief. Look, I'm not giving you any chance. The best thing you can do for both of us, is t
Fransisco pov."I went to see your sister, she doesn't believe me."" So what next ?"" I have no idea. I think you should better go there and try again. I'm telling you."" How does that help?"" Because we don't have any other option. I just found out that she secretly went to meet our family lawyer and made him give her all our properties I just knew it was too good to be true and it turned out that she acting needed to be married for two years with a kid before she gets that and when did she get married to that CEO? Just a week a go they do not have a child or any Children and that man called Harold just gave her the properties."" So why didn't you ever go to meet Harold first."." Because, I already know what the contract stipulated, and I know I am not eligible so why go and deceive myself?"So now... Well she deceived herself and she has gotten what she wanted, so why are you still angry what is the problem? You and Ethan mistake and it's nobody's fault."So what do you wan
DIANE'S POVNow I have succeeded in making him agree to my plans. Step one has been concluded. Only goodness knows why that guy didn't like vera. Now I see why she was attracted to him. He's very good looking and at the same time he's very wealthy.Once I get his signature on that wedding certificate, I could definitely not even ask for a divorce and even if I do,ni would get everything I want or at least a good sum of wealth from him.Damn! I'm still really good at this manipulation thing. Now let's see .. first thing tomorrow morning we'll go to the court and afterwards I can move into that large mansion.nim not going to sit back and watch myself loose on both sides. I mean just in case we don't successfully destroy that slut. I can't go empty handed.Unfortunately this young man is such a pea sized brain nigga. I mean he doesn't even understand how this thing goes, he most definitely doesn't know who I am. Bro just saw my number online and now he wants to marry me just so he doesn'
VERA'S POV"So what do you think about this?" I said, holding up some dresses in my grip, "Ma'am, I think they're fine, they'll look very well for the photoshoot." Mike said as he scribbled on a notepad he had in his hands, "ma'am, the photographer has already arrived and he's running out of patience.""Well, he had better calm down, because, I hired him, I'm his boss. Anyways help me pick out a few more items, I want more glittery and flashy colors. Hang them on the rail and bring them to the front. I'll go make sure everything is in place alright?"I said to Mike my designer.I swept through the curtains and was welcomed to the dressing and make up room, by the corner was my photographer who was adjusting his camera, " Shawn" I called out his name and immediately he turned to me, "Yeah, what's up? I've been waiting for you, you're not dressed yet?" He asked in his French accent." Oh not yet, were still getting the outfits ready so we can just jump into the the photoshoot session.
Raymond's Pov" Why didn't you visit the office today?" I asked and she shot me one of those confused faces she wears when she knows the exact answer to the question I'm asking but then she acts like she doesn't probably because she's surprised to see that I even have the idea."What did you ask?" She asked again as she slowly dropped her fork, wearing a that same confused look on her face."I know you didn't go to work today, so since you didn't go, where were you?" I asked again while calmly cutting my steak apart."I... I was at the studio.""Studio? What studio?"" I... I just had to work on something but I've taken care of that so the need to skip going to try office isn't really there for now."" Hmm, you do know why I'm asking. As the wife of the CEO of Drex group, you are meant to lead by example for the rest of the women in this city."" I don't understand what you're saying, I just went to deal with my personal life, what the people of the society think has nothing to do wit
RAYMOND'S POVI buttoned up my suit while I admired my reflection in the mirror. I grabbed my suitcase and rushed out. Vera was already in the car waiting for me so we could both leave for the office together.The drive to the awkwardly quiet as usual, I was almost running late for the meeting. Immediately after the driver dropped vera off, I immediately placed a call to my Private investigator, "Hello? Arnold.""Yes sir, good Morning sir, I'm already at the site."" Alright, remember to keep me updated on whatever happens in that company or around her."" Yes sir, there's not problem." I hung up the phone and let out a sigh. I stole a glance at my wristwatch, " Can you hurry up?" I said to my driver. Immediately he stopped on the accelerator. Within a matter of minutes, I arrived at the office, immediately my assistant rushed to my side, "Good morning, sir. Here's your schedule for the day I have forwarded it to you."" Alright, thank you." We both took the elevator, and went strai
Vera's POVI couldn't feel my body. My hands were numb and I was feeling so much pain all over my body. 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
Reymond's POVThat was mind blowing. I have been having feelings for Vera ever since but I didn't know how to tell her so I didn't drive her away so I kept it to myself.After she kissed me, I knew that she liked me too. That was all I needed. I couldn't control myself after that and we became intimate.After all this time. Just then, Vera stirred on the bed and opened her eyes. Her eyes still sleepy, she greeted. “Good morning.”She looked so beautiful. Divine.“Good morning, Vera.” I said, giving her a light peck on her cheeks.“Hope you slept well.” I asked her.“Yes.” “Hope your body is not sore.”“No, You were gentle.” She smiled.Good. I didn't want to hurt her. “What would you like for breakfast?”“Someone is in a mood today.” I chuckled. We were closer than before now after yesterday night.I was happy. I ordered the maid to make breakfast and then after a while, we were at the table eating together.We talked while eating, laughing, just talking about anything.For the

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
