Vera's POV I stormed off from the restaurant in anger, but I had to force a smile as I drove away because Jennifer was watching me from afar. Immediately I got out of her view. I parked my car at the roadside, and I went into a rage.“Ahh!” I hit the steering wheel in frustration, but that didn't ease my anger. I couldn't believe Alexander could pull such a stunt and that in front of Jennifer. He must have lost his mind.“Jennifer definitely enjoyed the show, and that bastard, Alexander, couldn't help but feed her more lies. How dare he think of embarrassing me in front of everyone!” I sneered, as my chest heaved in after. I halted my actions when a notification of my hospital appointment popped on the phone's screen. I took a deep breath, as I collected myself, knowing I couldn't look disgruntled at the hospital.“You can worry about those minions later,” I breathed as I ignited the car as I journeyed to the hospital on the outskirts of the city. I got to the hospital, and I was ask
Jennifer's POV I watched as Vera paled with a locked gaze with the man, and I wondered what history could be between them because I was sure Vera couldn't have dated him and I didn't know of it. “What are you doing here?” Vera stuttered, but Alexander just burst into laughter. “I don't remember this place being your house, so don't ask me that, and you look different. Still pregnant?” He asked, and I gasped.Pregnant? What nonsense was the man saying?“What are you spewing? Pregnant?” Vera rambled, and I nodded my head, agreeing to it. “Really? Then who was the bitch that called me saying that I got her pregnant–” Alexander was saying, but Vera cut her off as she sprawled from her chair and raised her hand to slap the man, but her hands stopped midair as Alexander intercepted.“Are you crazy? Did you actually think of slapping me?”“Yes, were you not the one spreading rumors about me?” Vera blurted, and I watched the two go back and forth with the argument.“Did you not say you were
Jennifer's POV I stood in shock, trying to digest what the man just said. How could it be that Vera, who had been my friend all this while, could be so vicious and do that to me? “But Vera, that's not…” I was saying it, but I couldn't get the word out. It felt like my brain was frozen; I was unable to think of anything that could make Vera do something like that. “Are you okay?” Lyon asked, dragging my body to his, but I just stood rigidly looking at him.“Did you mean the video? Vera was the one that released it.” I asked; my voice shook with fear, and Lyon sighed, seeing how shaken I was by the truth. I had thought all this while that Mathew was the culprit, but who could have thought that it was no other than the person I called my soul sister?“She might not be the one that recorded it, but she was the one who got it leaked; she paid the culprit to release it.” He said, and I went silent, while he waited for me to say something, but I wasn't able to say anything.After a long ti
Lyon's POV I couldn't believe what just happened at the restaurant, and I wondered why that old man kept messing with me. Why was he trying to get on my nerves? I got into my car, as I messed up my tie, but that didn't ease my anger.The only reason I kept her go was because she was Jennifer's friend, but that also means I was pleased with it. How could a lowly person like that think of seducing me?“Boss, how did the meeting go?” He asked, and I chuckled angrily. “Meeting? Of course, it's a blind date meeting; how could that old man have tricked me?” I rasped in anger, and Steve shielded himself away immediately by not asking me any questions.If I wanted to prevent this kind of situation another time, then I have to make sure my grandfather doesn't set up meetings like this again. “From now on, don't let my grandfather mess up my schedule again.” I say.“Run a check on the Kingston family and also on Vera Kingston,” I mumbled, and Steve agreed as he ignited the car, zooming off fro
Vera's POV I kept a bright smile on my face as I looked at the man, and I could tell that he looked uncomfortable with me there, but that was the least of my worries. That awkward feeling would vanish after we fucked each other through the night.“I didn't know you were the one I was meeting; it was supposed to be one of my grandfather's long-time friends who have an investment to make, but–” He trailed off, and I beamed him a smile.Was that the script they wove up?“Actually, I'm not an investor; definitely not your grandfather's long-time friend. I'm just Vera Kingston, Professor Sander; it's great to call you that,” I said, but he didn't look impressed by that.“Are you saying I wasted 30 minutes of my time because of misinformation? So what are you doing here, then?” He asked, as he checked his wristwatch again, and I wondered why my sexy charm wasn't working on him.There was no way I wouldn't turn heads if I wore this kind of sexy outfit to the club, but it looked like the pro
Vera's POV It had been a week after I found out that I was pregnant, and I tried to contact Alexander about it because he was better off being my baby daddy than a security man, but he brutally demoralized me, saying I slept with a lot of people, so he couldn't be too sure. I thought it was all over, but my mother was able to secure a dinner date with Lyon Sander for me, and even when I asked her how she did it, her reply was simple.“Mom's magic!”It was the day of the dinner date already, and I made up my mind to bed Lyon Sander that night because my pregnancy would be evident soon, so I needed to act fast and have him pour his seed in me.I tapped my feet gently on the floor waiting for my mom to finish fixing my jewelry, but she paused instinctively as she gawked at me. “What's going on, Mom?” I asked impatiently, and I felt nauseous by the scent of her perfume. A lot of things had been irritating me these past few days; even I had changed my eating pattern because I found every
Meredith's POV I couldn't believe the filial Lyon would ever disobey his grandfather like this. I thought as I watched Lyon drag the underage girl away, and I seethed in anger, wondering what was the best way to crush this little love of theirs.I could count the number of times Lyon and I held hands during our marriage, but he was acting like this with this girl. Such insolence!“Did you see your grandson? How could he be so shameless as to ever think–” I heard old man Sander saying, and I sighed.Of course, I have allies; there was no way Sanders would ever agree to that girl being around Lyon.“Calm down, I think she's a–” Grandma Sander was saying, but I interrupted as I entered the room. “You!” Grandma Sander shrieked as she saw me, and that wasn't the welcoming I was expecting.“I’m sorry that I am just offering my greetings even though I had arrived in the country earlier,” I mumbled, as I bowed my head to the elder, but none of them replied to my greetings.I could remember h
Jennifer's POV I watched the professor's face turn ashy with my words, and I knew I was able to rile him up. Even though he was trying his best to look alright, I could tell my words made him uncomfortable, but I also felt uncomfortable having money thrown at my face by his family.We both maintained the silence in the car, but I remembered that I saw Meredith at the restaurant, and even though I wanted to ignore it, I couldn't bring myself to do it.“I saw Meredith; did you have a meeting with her?” “No, we bumped into each other at the restaurant.” He replied, but I didn't believe him.How could they have coincidentally bumped into each other in the restaurant? But the truth was obvious: Meredith must have made the coincidence possible, and he didn't have a way to push her off. The car screeched to a halt, and I thought we were already home, but I noticed we were at the front of a tall building. Before I could ask what was going on, he led me to the rooftop, where I could see the
Jennifer's POV “What are you doing?” I heard Lyon's aggrieved voice, and I panicked. I was shocked to find the man seething with anger at the entrance of the private room, and I wondered what he was doing at the restaurant when he told me clearly that he had work to do.‘Maybe he had one of his meetings in one of the rooms here,’ I thought, and I beamed him an awkward smile as he entered the room. I didn't know how to explain the situation to him because I didn't tell him that I was meeting his grandparents. Or should I lie that I bumped into them?“Why is he here? Did you not say you didn't tell him?” The old man Sander grumbled, and I sighed, not knowing how to defend myself, but it wasn't like the man would've believed me anyway.“No, she didn't invite me here, but can someone tell me what's going on here?” Lyon asked, as he dragged me to his side, which made me overwhelmed with a sense of security. He locked gaze with me, but his face was contorted in anger, which wasn't directe
