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!

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 watched him storm out of my office, angrily. My heart was racing and my eyes were blur due to the the tears that had gathered in my eyes. I held my hand to my chest and tried to control my breathe.Raymond just succeeded in squashing my hopes and dreams of being a model. I've always had the passion, for years. Finally one photoshoot session that turned out to be the best was rejected by him, who does he think he is, how could he do that to me! Now what am I left with? Nothing but copies I got from Mikel.I fell to my desk and laid down there, I cried my eyes out, this was officially the worst day of my life. I got up from my seat angrily and heartbroken. My make up was smudged and I honestly couldn't care. I was so angry with Raymond and there wasn't nothing I could do to make him feel my pain. I hated it when I felt like this, each time I get like this I always feel like my world had come to an end. I approached my assistant, "ma'am? How may I help you?""I want you to
Raymond's POVI sat at the back of the club with a glass in my hand. Constantly stealing glances at my wrist watch, it turned out that I had been seated here watching vera for the past hour and all she did was drink. I could understand the fact that she was sad about what happened between us. I couldn't believe how irresponsible she choose to be. So the first this that came to her mind was to come to a bar and drink?! Why would anyone I'm their right Senses do that she has been here for hours drinking herself to stupor. I sat patiently when I noticed something strange, an unfamiliar man had approached her. He sat beside her, I could hear what they were saying to each other but it seemed as though he was bothering her, I took in deep breathes and I held my self back.The memory of what happened that day at the office came to my mind but I just didn't want to think about it too much. I know already that I caused a scene and I'm pretty sure that was on of the things that fueled her ang
VERA'S POV"You did what?" I questioned him, my brows furrowed and shock racing through my veins."I followed you to the lounge, and yes I didn't need your permission to do that, I already knew that was the kinda thing you planned to do "" Why did you invade in my privacy,?"He scoffed, "oh please vera! Don't give me that, for the record, I'm still very angry with you because I don't understand why you would do that do yourself, so what if I wasn't there? And what did you do? First thing you did was drink yourself to stupor and how is that a responsible thing to do ?"I flickered my eyes at him, I was unsure of what response to give because he actually had a point this time and arguing would just be meaningless."So ... How were you able to follow me? How did you know that was where I was going because I didn't tell anyone anything about my whereabouts so how come you were aware?"With his face buried in his food, he looked up at me, " After the little thing that happened at the offi
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
