Erika's POV"Aww, why are you sweet Asher?" A woman giggles."Of course, babe. You are my angel and should be treated like one.""I love you, baby!" I heard kissing, that's why I decided to open my eyes after hearing those disgusting words from them. I was greeted by the light coming through the ceiling and heard beeping in my side, which I saw a monitor with my heart rate. I am confused because my memories is quite blurry, and then, I turned to Asher whose busy kissing whoever that girl is. "This is hospital not hotel," I uttered causing them to stop from what they're doing, and looked at me like they saw a ghost. "Erika!" He pushed the young lady causing her to fall in the floor, and made me stunned. Asher embrace me tightly and I felt the pain from my back causing him to lightened the hug, and parted away."What the heck was that, Asher?!" The woman shouted. He turned around and confront the woman, "Baby, can we talked later? Me and my friend has something to discuss.""Was it
Grayson's POVI open my brother's room and saw the woman I use to call mine crying, she didn't leave my brother's side and stay on this room. Patricia didn't sense my presence because she remained crying and didn't looked at me, however, Gerald's still not waking up because of what I did. My father knew what I did and completely understand his anger, but they can't blame me. I already warned them, so they should obey me. Not disobey me because somehow I am making this rules not for Erika, but for everyone else to sue them or make them scared. I made that for all of us. Patricia stood up after wiping his tears and looked around, but she immediately halted after seeing me. She is staring at me, as if her eyes telling me I'm not allowed to see him."What are you doing here?" She asked. "Visiting my brother, Patricia. Common sense."I scoffed, "After what you did to him? You put him into this kind of situation, Gray. You still have the gut coming here? Unbelievable.""Was it forbidden?
Erika's POVSince Asher doesn't want to give me some alone time and he keep calling that woman he brought earlier, so I already decided on visiting Gerald although I just woke up without thinking my decision just now. I am currently inside of the elevator and waited for it to landed on the third floor where Gerald's room located. While heading here, I'm thinking on how I explain myself to them.Especially to Mister Martinez who seemed not friendly. He used to give me sharp gaze and glares, and I already know he hate me more than everyone else. However, I accept his hatred because it can't be changed since they know me as Grayson's wife, and gold digger. That is pretty easy to deal with, and ignoring them is the best way. Even though we're living on the same roof. The elevator stop and open when already hit the third floor and other people went in, so I went outside while carrying a pole where there is a liquid and a hose connected to my arm. Then, I started looking for Gerald's room
Erika's POVI'm heading to Gerald's room but my heart won't stop from beating faster because I know whoever person looking out for him right now, he's not elated to see me. I'm expecting Gerald's father to be there but when I opened the door, my eyes exposed to nobody. I thought they hired someone to watch him, but it looks like nobody's in here. I approached Gerald, where he's still sleeping and can hear the monitor that telling you he's alive and breathing. Then, I stand beside him to have a clear view. Seeing him in this kind of situation is heart broken, especially since Grayson did this to his own brother and they'll definitely blame me. However, I'm ready to face every blame they'll throw to me because I am guilty. "What are you doing here?" Patricia inquired, so I looked at her and she just came out from the bathroom. I didn't hear the water running, maybe because my mind is occupied. "You shouldn't be here. Enemies are not allowed to go into this floor, don't you now that?"
Erika's POV "Want some pizza?" Asher showed me a box of pizza but I just ignored him before leaning back to my bed. "Thanks but no thanks. I'm not hungry.""Okay," he sat down on the single couch before digging in to the pizza. While me? I don't know what is my life's purpose because it's getting interesting than before. After what happened to us yesterday, the time they almost kill each other because of me again. Yes, me. You heard it right. Grayson came in, and I have no idea where did he came from or how did he get to that floor faster. My mind is really messed up, although I am still alive and no scratch in my body. However, my mind was confused. I didn't know why Patricia did that since I should expect her to lie because we're not friends and never will be. But why does she need to do that? Why she need to make me look like a villain? "What are you thinking? You seem occupied," Asher asked and thankfully he's not in the mood annoying me. "Nothing. Just thinking why I ended
Erika's POVWhile heading to the car waiting outside the hospital, and calming myself down. My heart won't stop from pounding faster because of the anxiousness they're giving me. Even though I have the right asking about that wedding without getting killed, Grayson giving me unconditional problem to deal right now. He know his father was mad at me, but he dare making our situation worse than ever. I halt right in front of the car and take a deep breath before getting inside the car, which Grayson's presence made me feel uncomfortable because the car was wrapped with his terrifying aura and enough to make my body trembling. He is quiet and not saying anything just busy checking on his phone without looking at me, maybe he didn't saw me. I clear my throat, "Grayson... Can I asked something?""Not now. When we get home," he answered. "It's urgent.""How urgent?" He asked. "Please, just listen to me. I'm confused and need answers. Just listen to me, Grayson. You are not required to an
Erika's POVI was inside his office, sitting comfortably to the chair and waiting for him to arrive. Grayson told me to wait while he was preparing the marriage contract, actually this is not a office. This is the first room he showed to me when I came here, his red room. I never seen this room for a while since my attention was focus on his problem that become mine.I rose up and approach the bed where he first take me, my memories that night appeared in one snap and remember how he take me with so much care. I swallowed when the steamy night we share wrapped my mind, his every touch, and kisses making me feel safe. That's why I gave myself to him voluntarily, no complain, no fear, and no thinking.I touch the bedsheet and it seemed new, it's soft and more comfy to laid in. So, I decided to seated and rush down my fingers while waiting for him. My body reacting to my very naughty fantasies, and this is really weird. I mean, once in my life I never done this, making such fantasies usi
Erika's POV We're currently inside of the mall owned by Grayson, that's why he closed down the whole mall to have a private time with me while followed by his bodyguards. Grayson is very perfectionist, aloof and also not socialize because for him if he become kind to others, it can be use against him. My conclusions about that is, yes it can be use against him or worse back stab him. I stop when my eyes captured a boutique nearby because I never been inside of an expensive boutique. However, I am hesitant because Grayson might think I love spending his money although it's not. Moving on, I exhale before turning around by my head bump to something hard or should we say? Someone. "Why did you stop?" He asked. "Nothing. Just thinking why you shut down this mall," that is the only answer in my mind, even though it's obvious. "I own this. There's no question to that," he answered. Yeah, I should expect that answer from him. He is Grayson Martinez, the powerful mafia boss, billionaire

There so many opportunities waiting for them and I'm doing everything to give my sons what they are truly deserve. I was startled when saw a car in front of the restaurant from the moment I got out, but I completely ignore that black car since lots of spoiled brats parked their cars to what place they like. So, I'm not surprised if this car will be towed. I wonder what will the teenager do if his father's car was taken away? I can't stop my thoughts. That's why I chuckled to myself and continue on

Grayson's POVThe whole room was wrapped with silence, and also awkwardness because Nicholas was here. I summon him after knowing Erika runaway from me and have no idea where'd she go. Both of us was silent, as if nobody wanted to start what's supposed to begin and wanted to remain silent.I clear my throat and Asher turned to me while Nicholas was looking at the absence. He seemed not surprised to hear my news, and seemed not shocked when I told him about Erika's letter. He was calm and not showing any sign of shock or even paranoia.His silence telling me I was wrong and he's right about everything. "So, does it mean she's gone?" Asher finally ask, and decided to break the silence between us."For now," I answered."Then, what are we doing here? We should look for her, and find her. She's the weapon we need in order to achieve your goal, right?" He said. "She's gone but still thinking about your ego?"

I enter the house, and it's like a ghost house because of silence and emptiness. I know she's already waiting for me upstairs and she's excited to finally speak with me. I approach the stairs and about to step my feet when someone speak behind me. I saw the maid Asher hired to help Erika out inside the house, but she seemed surprised seeing me on my own house. "Mr. Martinez, I'm not expecting to see you.""What do you mean? This is my house.""Yes. It is your house, but I thought you are not going to pay a visit before I left. Thankfully, you did because I need my paycheck for one mon
Grayson's POV"Why you always need to test her loyalty, huh? I mean, is that even necessary? I don't think it's necessary, Grayson. You need her," Asher said, and I understand why he's scolding me like he is my mom. I massage my temple because he's been like that since yesterday, "Can you please stop, Asher?""I will if you stop messing our plans. This plan is not going well if you keep messing it and I'm not going to help you if something bad happened, so you better make it up to her.""Why would I? She's just a surrogate." "Exactly. A surrogate but you always find many way to ruin our plans, after that let me deal it. I already had enough of your problems," he said.I place down the pen I'm holding before glancing to Asher, he's sitting on the opposite chair and I couldn't stand his lectures.

At this situation my whole body is trembling to the fact he might forget all the things he said. I don't wanna rely on those words, but I'm really desperate. I open the door and ready to greet him, but his serious expression stunned me for a moment. I froze to my position, and my mind couldn't even process properly because of that face. Grayson has this expression that is enough to weakened me, and also mess my mind.But it wasn't enough to stop me from making a good impression to him, that is why I put down the tray on the bedside table to approach him. I seated behind him, and begin to touch him when Grayson suddenly stood up and pick up his polo on the clothes rack, then wear it immediately. I was astonished to his actions. "What's wrong? Did I do something wrong?" He didn't answer, and remain facing the mirror. After that, h

I don't wanna make stupid decisions, including my stupid thoughts that keep making me super bad decisions. I sighed because my mind messing me, but I have to keep calm while waiting for him to return. Until suddenly I heard a car parked outside, and it made my heart skip a bit.

I'm busy reading this documents came from my finance, and also to my secretary. It's been a while since my mind begin to focus to my businesses, and forget all the struggles I face.For some reason I remember what Erika said.

Now, I mess up because he speak with Erika about that deal.I have no idea how he found that out, but there is a huge possibility he run through my files and found that confidential file about our contract.
