All Chapters of A Million Dreams: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Lisa was shocked; surprised. She never expected to see Raymond just outside her company with a Lamborgini she knew was new; she had never seen it among his collection of cars back home unless it belonged to one of his whores.But it didn’t. the large bouquet of red roses sitting in the back seat of the open roof car told her it was a gift for her. Her high heels rattled as she walked toward him with a frown. “What are you doing here?”He didn’t reply to her. He only went down on one knee with another large bouquet in his hands. “I love you, Lisa. Please, don’t let this one mistake come between us.” His face scrunched like someone in great sorrow. “I am a jerk for staying out late to attend that meeting. I am a jerk for becoming so drunk and ending up in another woman’s bed.”As he spoke, Lisa looked at him with a tinge of confusion. She wondered what his plan was this time. He had never admitted to sleeping with any of the girls caught in camera with him. Why was he doing this now? To

The silence was frustrating. After Raymond left, Lisa had nothing to do. She wasn’t used to sitting down idly all day without doing something. She was used to being busy. She couldn’t cook either. She had spent her entire days on earth being a spoilt princess right before she took over her father’s company and got herself entangled with Raymond. She had never stepped into the kitchen in her entire life. Her father forbade it when she was little.Having nothing to do, she scrolled through the channels. Since Raymond had coerced her into taking this unexpected day off, she might as well enjoy it to the fullest. She scrolled through the channel not finding a single one interesting to watch. Nearly all of them had her and Raymond as a center of attraction.So much for being a celebrity couple.Sometimes, she did regret it but Raymond loved the spotlights and he dragged her into it with him.Raymond never returned home the entire day. However, he sent his assistant with a new phone for her

Lisa watched the door close after Will, barely able to rein in the rollercoaster of emotions that gripped her. Why now? Why did he have to show up at this time in her life? She turned to Raymond who was busy playing with her title plaque in his hand while sitting on her desk and looking around her office like he had never been there.After the door closed, he turned to look at her. “Now, where were we?”She folded her arms as she turned to look at him. “You have no right to barge into my office without pre-informing me!”He smirked. “Go ahead and give your employees something to talk about. Yell more and let them know you are in such a ‘happy’ marriage.”She threw him a glare, quietening down. She took a deep breath. “So, what now?”He shrugged, “You stay put for the next hour or walk out now and show the world that your husband is a one-minute man.” He smirked. “Not like I don’t have other means to prove my strength.” “Stop threatening me!” She hated it when he threatened her like

“Who’s there?” The night guard asked in a stern voice as he walked towards the direction of the sound. It had been a long time since someone ever tried breaking into the mansion; especially with the strict protection there. “Any problem?” A female voice spoke just above him. Raising his head, he came face-to-face with his boss’s daughter. “I am sorry, ma’am. I thought I heard some noises.”She brandished her phone. “I was making a call. Was I too loud?” “Not at all, ma’am. Carry on, please” He quickly scurried away, disappearing into the dark night.Lisa stood by her window, wearing a smug smile. For the first time, she felt being in charge wasn’t particularly a bad thing. “Are you still there?”From the patch of darkness by the wall, reappeared Will, grinning. “I didn’t know you had this side of you.”A tinge of red crawled up Lisa’s face. “What side are we talking about here.”He shook his head. “Never mind. I have to go now before another guard appears. See you tomorrow?”

His lips inched closer and subconsciously; Lisa’s eyes shut close. She regretted shutting her eyes almost immediately as the picture of Belinda moaning loudly while he pounded her appeared, flooding her head. His lips finally touched her and instead of the pictures going away, it increased; this time, it wasn’t just Belinda but all the ladies she had paid off to leave the country for having a sex scandal with him. She felt his tongue push against her lips, trying to enter her mouth. Ew! Who kisses like that?! Her thoughts scattered as he bit her lips. Her red lips patted immediately and just as his tongue touched hers, bile rose to her throat. Talk about bad timing. She pushed him away immediately. “Goodnight, Raymond.” Her throat still burned a little from the sip of whisky but she ignored it, and him. She took large strides up the stairs without looking back. By God! This was the last time she would ever let his lips touch hers. The minute she was in her room, Lisa banged the d
