“This place is nice. Hmm, such glistening environment,” Cora clicked her tongue, her eyes darting around the premises in satisfaction.We were at the villa for the auction. It was a bracelet that was being auctioned and my only reason for attending was simply because I wanted to be there.“I don't know a lot about prices Mr Calvin,” Cora turned to me, my hand on hers, “tell me how much will a building like this cost, huh?”“Not much. Probably half a billion.” I stated casually and she was still beside me for a second before she shook her head.“I see.”“Hm,” I replied when one of the guards walked towards us. “Can we see the invitation card?”I brought out the card and they let us into the room where the auctioning was taking place. It was filled with only about 20 people, all of them familiar businessmen.Cora simply stayed silent beside me and in less than 5 minutes, the auction began.“So, we have the bid price for 100, 000” the auctioneer pointed at the image on which the bracelet

“Be honest with me, Brandon. Did Calvin set this job up for me?” I asked calmly as I sat at the back of the seat while Brandon drove.“No ma,” one of the employees replied before Brandon could say a word. “It's sincerely our first job. One of the business men really came and gave us this job offer to be very honest. I was the one they met with.”“Alright,” I nodded and relaxed into the chair. It was a small luxurious party that they wanted us to cover and I was going with just two extra workers and needed to know if Calvin got the job for me.I'd have cancelled. He's insane. For thinking he's on top of the world. It's been two days since the day of the dinner party and the least we exchanged were greetings which will remain at that.“We're here,” Brandon said as the car came to a halt and we got out. It was a reserved fancy hotel which I'm sure one of the business men owned.“We'll set up the equipment, don't worry ma,” Brandon told me and I gave up. I only grabbed my camera before he

Calvin's POVMy hold around the phone tightened the more as I listened to the video. “It was a contract marriage. He wanted to marry me for a particular purpose I don't know. But after running away, my sister filled in the place for me.” That little girl had said.And at the end of the video, I saw her with Jayden, making my blood boil.Why today of all days? When I was just about to sign the contract. When I was just about to carry out the main reason behind the goddamn marriage.Anger coursed deep through my veins before Cora spoke, “I'm sorry, okay? I'm just going to deal with it.”“Enough!” My hand hit the seat and she shook, “why didn't you tell me? Why the hell am I just finding out? Is that the secret you were hiding from me?”“I'm sorry, I just thought it wasn't necessary,”And at once, I reached for her jaw while her eyes widened, “and have you seen it's necessary? First, I found out you were a divorcee from someone else. Not from you,” I released her jaw and exhaled.Every m

“Thank you so much,” I told Lorraine as I gulped down the tea and she smiled. “I'm glad you liked it,” she said and gave me a smile. I took my handbag and headed out. When I got to the car, Brandon was there.“Good morning ma'am,” he exhaled, “I was just about to come in,” he sighed and my brows creased. What was wrong?“What's it?”“Mr Calvin denied you access to the company for now,” Brandon dropped the words and I stopped. It hit me like a shock. He denied me access? Because he found it for me?Rage built inside of me and I stared into space before heading back inside.That was the punishment? That was it? I chuckled as I shook my head. He had control over it and decided to use it? Wow, because he helped me found it?Sitting on the sofa, it took minutes before my anger started to dissipate which had me sighing at the end. He had the control and he could do however he wanted.He could.My phone rang and I reached for it and at once the familiar voice that hadn't called me in weeks

Of course I knew that's what's going to happen. Everytime Calvin got soft with me, he'd go cold as if something was wrong with him. And that was going to be the last time I'd let that happen. It's been two hours since we came home and I was already getting dressed for the evening party Jayden hired my company for but as I put my lipgloss on, something close to anger fueled in me.He kissed me. Without my permission. Even with all the goddamn rules and restrictions. He was the one acting cocky weeks ago and now he kissed me and not that only, he went off after that and gave the best of his silence.A chuckle escaped my lips before I styled my hair into a low bun. All of it will change from that very moment.Grabbing my handbag, I headed to the living room and Lorraine gasped on seeing me, “you look gorgeous.”“Thank you,” I said as I took her hug and that shifted Calvin's attention to me and I walked to him, “I'm going to capture Jayden's evening ceremony.”“Why are you telling me thi
