Mr. William Durans POV( Christiana's father) ;
"So, how is she? "I question. Cautiously stiring the piping hot tea in my cup with a teaspoon.
"Who? "The young man questions as I threw the question at him out of the blue.
"My daughter. It's been a while since we spoke on personal issues. "I reply and the butterfly drawing on the table suddenly becomes very interesting to him.
"Ah... Uhm, she's... She's... She's fine. "He replies and a smile that almost turns to laughter splits my face.
"Fine? Really? "I question and he steals a glance of me.
"Sir, she. She's... We don't really talk much so I... I don't quite know what exactly to say. "He replies and I smile.
"Then say what you know. What you see and the sides of her she shows you. "I reply relaxing in the chair and he looks up at me.
He clearly is uncomfortable discussing my daughter with me. Raymond and I have grown to be very close over the ye

Narrators POV;"I will not do that!" Mr. Willam. Christiana's father, screams at his mother in anger. They are alone in her bedroom and the tension in this room is enough to cause the temperature to shoot up."Yes, you will Willam! Do you forget that I am your mother? "She screams back at him and he rolls his eyes."I never forget that. I never forget that cause you keep reminding me.What is so hard to understand? I don't want to be a part of the family business.All four of my elder siblings are already part. Isn't that enough? My daughter is showing interest yet you don't want to give her a chance, and you keep chasing me. Where is the sense in that? "He yells back and his mother glares at him."Is this rebellion because of that petting zoo? "She questions coldly and Mr. William remains silent."All those years ago, when you asked for a chance to prove yourself, I never let you because what sort of idea is 'T

Raymonds POV;I grunt lightly as I open my eyes. I'm feeling a bit tipsy and my vision is a blur. I shut my eyes back in a bid to comport my system and get better control.This feeling is slightly worst than a hangover. I feel exhausted, fatigued, and sleepy. I inhale deeply before opening my eyes again.This time, my eyes are welcomed by a somewhat dark and misty appearance of a room and it only takes me a few seconds to realize I'm in the middle of this room.The chair I'm seated in is situated in the center of this room and there's a huge center rung beneath me.I am not bound to this chair by any physical ropes but fear has an upper hand hence keeping me put.There is a desk a considerable number of feet away from me and a large leather chair behind it. There's nothing on this table a d no one in the sit and asides from the couch at the side of the room and paintings I'm the room, there's nothing else.

Raymond's POV;I make it to a tard road panting heavily. I have been running through a desolate area full of abandoned buildings, for what seems like forever.I stand by the roadside, cradling my sore elbow, which has now extended to a sore arm. Zero to no cars pass and I decide to start walking towards the north.I am too tired to keep running, and besides, I found no one chasing me. I was just running for fear of being caught.There are trees on both sides of this road and all I can hear asides from the chirping of birds, are my labored pants.Up ahead, I spot a truck. Its back doors are non-existent and the back is empty. It must be a personal vehicle I think to myself.I spot a man I presume to be the driver of the truck beside it, peeing in the bushes, and just then, an idea hits me.I silently increase my pace. Checking behind me to be sure I'm not being watched or followed. Once I get to the truck, I sile

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;It's morning and I'm sitting at the study table in my room working on my plan drafts. The page I'm currently working on concerns the jewelry section Drake is running.For some reason, he has been losing customers and I have been able to figure out some of the problems and how to fix them.I'm not doing this for that brat, but for myself. Once I'm done with all these, I'd take them to grandma and finally make her understand that she's been underestimating me all this while.It's bright and silent today, and I'm enjoying the serenity of my room. My room has a white theme. Everything in it is white. From curtains to furniture, and even the walls. I like it this way as the color white gives me a serene feel and internal peace.The study table I'm at is not too far from the glass doors that lead to the room's balcony. This gives one a refreshing sight of the beautiful sky, My king-sized bed is behind me and ther

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

"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. I'm such a huge fan of yours, I spent my whole savings and got my dad to borrow some money, just so I could get a ticket to attend this party.I did it for you. "The young girl says. I was right. 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
