Mr. Williams POV;
"Who do you think is behind this? "I question Raymond who now has his left arm in a cast. The doctor said it's not too serious and would be okay in a week or two. I've told him to keep this a secret from everyone else at home, as I don't want any sort of drama. Besides, we have no idea what actually going on.
Raymond looks up at me and that all too familiar look that clouds his face whenever I make to discuss something relating to my family, clouds his face, and I understand.
"You think my family is behind this? "I question and his eyes widen. I watch him shift uncomfortably in the hospital bed, still refusing to say a thing.
"You know you can trust me right? "I question and he looks at me for a few seconds before letting out a sigh in surrender.
"I don't know. I think grandma is behind this. "He replies avoiding eye contact with me.
"She... She's really not a big fan of mine. "He adds and I smile.

Christiana's POV;The weekend is here and grandma indeed plan a huge party for Stella. Everything is grand.If one wasn't told what the occasion is, they would very easily mistake this to be an Oscar event.There's a red carpet, grandma invited many of the family's huge and reputable business partners, the paparazzi are present and some unfamiliar faces are present as well.Perhaps grandma also used this event to gain money by selling tickets to people hungry to be in the company of rich folks.Raymond and I step out of the Ferrari F60 America that brought us here and instantly, the flashes from cameras begin to harass us.I've learned over the years how to handle this, but Raymond still hasn't gotten a hang of it. He still squints his eyes at the cameras but he'd get used to it soon. After all, he's only been in this for two years.I'm in a champagne gold mermaid-shaped dres

Causing grandma to look in Raymond and his friend's direction.What is that peep squeak up to?They both begin to walk over to Raymond and I know whatever is coming next, would not be palatable.Just when I make to walk over to them, a voice stops me."Mrs. Cristinana! "I turn around to find a young girl running up to me."Excuse me, ma'am, hope you don't mind, but I've been dying to see you.

Grandma used this event to make money."Ma'am, I'm a student under scholarship at the Oxford University, and I want to be lik

Raymonds POV;"Didn't you hear? "Stella screams and my heart begins a furious pattern of beats in anger."Well someone has a big mouth! "Rayon says rudely to her in his usual un-shaking confidence. Totally ignoring grandma's blazing gaze."And who the f*ck do you think you are? Showing up to a party uninvited, and speaking to me like you're worth a single dime.My net worth can feed your entire generation and you think it's in your power to speak to me like you matter? "Stella screams at him and I inhale sharply as I clench my fists in anger."Well excuse me, ma'am. It's not my fault your attitude is as stinking as your ego. "Rayon replies and I smile inwardly. Ever proud of my friend's relentless courage."One more word young man and... "Grandma makes to speak."And what ma'am? Listen, Raymond invited me here and as far as I know, every guest i

Raymonds POV;I sit on a wooden bench beneath a tree and fix my gaze on the moon. It's fully out and is displaying its beautiful glory.Staring at it now, I wonder how it does what it does. How it remains so beautiful and adored despite all its scares and holes. Despite all the crashes and hurt it's been through.Despite it being so far from human habitation, we still found a way to get up there to trample on and mark it. Yet, it doesn't stop shinning and doesn't stop being beautiful.Some trample on it, some worship it and some like me, adore it. It isn't the brightest source of light, yet it is the most adored. One can't stare at the sun despite all its glory and purpose, but this humble moon remains forever flawless.Why can't humans be treated and seen this way? Why can't humble people who lay low, be honored. Why can't we just be as simple as the moon, and still be loved just like it too?All my life, while growi

Mr. William's POV;I stand a few feet away from my petting zoo, broken. As I watch the animals get loaded into vans, meant to convey them to another location.Fuzzball runs over to me and I pick the little angel up in my trembling arms. This is a nightmare I never thought I'd have. Talk less of seeing come to pass.My mother was misinformed, I never took a loan to get this place, I saved up for it. However, I took a loan to sponsor Christiana and Raymond's wedding, because my dear mother was against the idea of getting her grandchild married to some 'random, good for nothing stranger'. She refused to pay any of the bills and told me not to hold the wedding altogether, but I knew I had to. Those two may not see it, but they're a match made from heaven.My mother told me not to dare get them married, but I did. I got them married with a loan as I couldn't let my only child's wedding celebration be a flop.I took

Raymonds POV;I walk into my bedroom from the balcony in search of comfort from the morning Sun's blaze. At first, it was soothing and warm, but now it's slowly beginning to intensify and I don't think sunburn is something I'd quite enjoy.I find Christiana at the study table, scribbling furiously unto the document before her. This isn't the first time I'm seeing her with this document and the level of attention she shows to it is very intriguing. I mean, she's so focused, she hasn't even noticed I'm back in the room and staring at her.Her dark hair fallen to aside. Helping to outline the beauty of her face's side view. She keeps writing on the papers and my curiosity deepens. What could she possibly be writing?I clear my throat to gain her attention and this startles her a bit. She looks up at me and a little laughter escapes her lips. Probably laughing at her absent-mindedness."Good
