Raymonds POV;

"So, what's the situation with Miss. Cutie? "Rayon questions. Sinking his teeth into the croissant in his hands.

This French nerd is my best friend and has been so for as long as I can remember. We met at the orphanage home and have kept a tight bond ever since. 'Miss cutie ' is the nickname he gave my wife, cause, according to him,  'That lady is out of this world cute. '.

"Still the same. It's just... There. To be honest, I think it's getting worse. "I reply taking a sip of the coffee in my hand.

"Worse? "He questions and I nod as I swallow.

"Yeah. You won't believe the stunt she pulled last night. "I inform once I'm done swallowing and he stares at me with furrowed brows.

"What did she do?  "He questions and I show him a bland smile.

"She pretended to be asleep just to avoid talking to me, and only ended her act when I made to touch her stuff. "I reply and Rayon raises his brows.

"What? "

"Yes. That's how much love we share. "I reply and he chuckles.

"Stuff huh? "Be questions wiggling his brows at me and roll my eyes and shake my head in disbelief.

"Punk! You know what I mean. "I reply and he chuckles.

"At least you're lucky. You get to live in such a grand palace, wear such designer clothes, and be driven about in various fancy cars. "He replies and I roll my eyes.

"Rayon! Those aren't mine. None of them are mine and I'm not comfortable using them.

If my wife and father-in-law were anything like the rest of their family, I won't even get access to food. "I reply and Rayon smiles.

We have been over this time without a number, but Rayan just won't change his mind. He thinks being a house husband who gets ridiculed every day, can be made up for by how much luxury he's given.

"Okay, even if your in-laws are mean as f*ck, you still have a super nice father-in-law.

That man's dope. I mean, super dope by the way. Back to the point,

You have him, and your very own father is the one and only Levine Johnson. What more are you look... "He begins and I shut him.

"Rayon! Shut up! "I whisper yell and he rolls his eyes.

"Relax. No one's listening. "He replies.

"Look, I don't want news about this getting spread. I am not his legitimate son and I don't want to be sued for defamation of character.

He's rejected me once, and that's enough. They're most likely many other illegitimate children of his. "I reply and Rayon stares at me.

"Look, this life is one big ball of crazy. You never know what might happen.

Just give it a try. "He replies and I roll my eyes again.

"Rayon. "I warn and he raises his hands a bit. In surrender.

"Fine, but still... "He makes to speak and I give him a look.

My late mother used to be Mr. Levine's baby mama and I was the baby. She went to him with her pregnancy and he called me a mistake.

He said he loves his wife and there's no room for me in his life. According to my mother, his exact words were,

"That child is a mistake. You either do away with him or sort this out yourself.

Here's a check of two million. Stay away from me henceforth. "

He paid her to keep away from him. My mom said what they shared was 'special' and she didn't know what went wrong.

Ever since she never went back to him. Her lack of management made her lavish the money on things that gave temporary comfort and soon vanished.

I lost her at the age of 14 she died struggling to keep us going and that's when I ended up in an orphanage. I got out of there at age 18 and met Mr. William three years ago.

I'm 27 years old now and spent six years of my life, on the streets of New Jersey hustling and bustling alone. I'm not all I should be, but I don't need the father who rejected me, to be who I should be.

"Come on, let go. The interview starts in two hours. "I say to Rayon and he quickly gulps down his tea before standing up.

"God help us this time. Amen. "He prays and I smile.

"Amen. "
