Raymond's POV.After my dad had scolded me about my supposed wife, I stormed out of the room with my car keys and drove off to Concave Bar. No matter how much my mother tried to chastise me, I just couldn’t get enough of this place. “I can't put up with Elena anymore, she is driving me nuts I need to find a way to get her out of my life,” I said as I began to ponder on my misery.I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket with a shrill sound, I glanced at the screen and noticed that it was Lucas. “Why are you calling?” I questioned with a gruff voice. His nosy call was interrupting my good time here in the bar. “I just wanted to know where you are, your mom called again she sounded worried, bro where are you? I could come meet you yunno” said Lucas“Sorry Lucas, I can't tell you. You're just gonna spill to mom again.”“Absolutely not, I would never do that” Lucas replied with a gentle smile. “We simply just need to talk, I'll even treat you to your favorite whisky, what do you say?” he

Raymond's POV For the first time in a while, I was very excited to get to work early. I was dressed in a black shirt and white trousers, alongside my black blazers and silver cufflinks. I made sure to dress pretty well today as I'll be seeing Violet in the office again. I got into my car and drove to work with excitement written all over me.Good morning sir..Good morning sir.” Greeted my teammates as I walked briskly to my office. My heart pounding, my mind racing with anticipation for when I’ll be meeting up with Violet again after work hours.I could feel the excitement in the air as I flipped through the flies that were placed on my desk and began the day's hustle. Elena's POV.My eyes widened with fear as I stared at the droplets of blood on my bed.“Oh God, ma'am! ma'am! You’re bleeding, I'm going to get help,” said Mary as she rushed out of my room. With Mary’s help I was able to walk down the stairs and in no time Sabatine drove as fast as he could to the hospital. Doct

ELENA'S POV"You're awake!" a nurse said, with her voice full of relief. "We were worried about you.""What where’s my baby?" I asked, looking around at the hospital room. I could see that I was hooked up to a few machines, and monitors were beeping in the background."You had a pretty rough delivery," the nurse said, checking my vitals. "But your baby…...""My baby?" I said without allowing her to finish her sentence, my heart was racing so fast. "What about my baby?" I asked again like a curious child."Stay calm else you hurt yourself. A neonatal nurse is taking care of your little one,” replied the nurse. "You will see your little one as soon as he is ready to leave the nursery. But for now, I just need you to rest and relax. Can you do that for me?""I'll try," I responded, as I tried to keep my cool. I was both relieved and worried at the same time as I thought about the welfare of my child. "Good," the nurse said. "Just take it easy and try to get some rest. I'll be back i

Elena’s PovThe constant bickering outside my bedroom and the crying of my baby startled me. I tossed and turned on the bed, trying to get rid of the noise but couldn't. “Why can't I get a perfect sleep!” I groaned in frustration, sat upright, and carried my baby from his cot. After a thousand years of singing a lullaby, my baby effortlessly moved to deep sleep and I gently placed him back on his cot. I sighed. I had only been a mother for a few weeks and I was completely exhausted from the task. “Now, who could be causing the ruckus downstairs?” I questioned no one in particular, rising on my feet and dragging it to the mezzanine. I looked downstairs to see Raymond in a heated argument with his dad. I strained to hear exactly what they were saying and what the argument was all about. “Your wife has a newborn and all you could do as a father is stay away from home?” he scoffed, “Speak of fatherly duties,” his voice dripping in sarcasm.“This looks interesting,” I muttered, watch

Elena's POVI could feel their famished eyes boring into my skin. Why are they staring? I muttered For some reason, I felt like returning to my room but I had to control myself, at least for the sake of Ralph who never ceases to care for me and my little one. I could feel a spark of curiosity as I noticed Raymond's jaw drop as I walked down the stairs. If it hadn't been for Ralph who hired a makeup artist and got me a dress, I bet I could have been perceived as one of the “Lawrence” stewards.“You look gorgeous, my lady,” said one of the guests with a smile curled by the side of his lips.“Thank you,” I responded, smiling in return as I walked into the crowd and said a few hello’s and hi’s to the rest of our guests patiently waiting to exchange pleasantries with me. After I was satisfied with the greetings, I took a glass of wine from one of the stewards and sipped it as I walked into the dinner arena.Out of nowhere, someone forcefully shoved me, and the glass of drink I was
