Raymond's POV Moments after Elena disappeared into the bathroom, she resurfaced with an unusual smile tugging beside her lips. As we danced, I caught the shift in her expression. Her gaze was fixated on the floor, lost in thought. I didn't bother her with questions, certain that if she felt the need to share her worries, she would do it effortlessly.I let the musical notes carry us, our bodies moving in the wordless symphony, hoping the music would trigger a little fragment of joy in her.I watched her slip away from me and mix with the crowd even when I was against her leaving.“Nice performance with Elena, ” a voice said behind me, startling me from my thoughts.With a half cup of whiskey in my palm, I swiveled to find Ralph, wearing a smile on my face.“You stole the show,” he laughed, hitting me on the shoulder in a joking manner.His gaze darted around the corners in search of what I was oblivious to.“Where is she?” he said“Who?” I asked, placing my lips on the cup and gulp

Elena's POVThe curtains fluttered, a gentle caress on my skin as the wind brushed through it. I sat upright on the bed, my eyes darting around the corners of the bed.Raymond wasn't beside me, perhaps he might have headed to work.“Early birds,” I muttered as I stretched my arms and started my day.I dragged my exhausted feet into the bathroom and turned the shower on, the gentle chilling water cascading down my spine. For a brief moment, I had forgotten about the conversation I had with my stepmother and was feeling relieved.As I emerged from the shower, I reached for the towel and wrapped it around my waist as the morning lights peeked through the curtains, casting their soft rays on my body. I walked to the wardrobe and ran my fingers across the dresses that hung there. My gaze settled down on the sky-blue gown; a secret gift Ralph had given me on my birthday. He was the only one who remembered my birthday and gifted me. “Great guy,” I mumbled.I slipped into the soft blue gow

Raymond's POVI paced back and forth, my feet continuously drumming on the tiled floor of the shopping mall. With each minute that passed, my fury brewed. “Where the bloody hell is she?” I gritted, cursing her under my breath as I scanned the area.She called herself Anonymous and had chosen to remain hidden, even after sending such a stupid email to me. Hours had passed since our conversation and she chose to remain hidden.“Coward. She has no balls to speak to me,” I hissed. Does she take me for a joke? Why is she gonna tell me to meet her in the shopping mall and keep me waiting? Is she scared? My eyes scanned the bustling shopping mall marking each face I came across. “Raymond,” a familiar deep voice called behind me, startling me. I turned around to see Mike, wearing a smile that revealed his dents.“What’s up, mate?” he asked, extending his hand for a handshake. I stretched out mine and gripped his hand, feigning a smile.“Chillin’ like a villain dude,”

Raymond's POV I stood there seethed in discomfort as they threw a barrage of different questions at me.“You are meant to protect and keep watch over her”For fuck sake, Raymond, you're her fucking husband!” Ralph barked, visibly irritated by my silence.“I saw her before I met the anonymous lady, where had she gone?” I answered as a look of puzzlement crossed my face.“Are you dumb?” She’s not here, in what other house does she live? My father's voice broke, interrupting my thoughts.“I had a glimpse of her before going out to meet someone,” I muttered, different questions swirling in my mind.“Is that all the information you can provide Raymond?” Ralph snapped, his voice dripping with sarcasm as he rolled his eyes at me.I ignored his sarcastic comments and my grip tightened around my phone as I dialed her number, again and again, frustration mounting as each call went unanswered.“Where the fuck could she be?” I muttered, my voice barely audible. “The cops are on it. I've contact

I know he has Mary and my father-in-law but their love cannot be compared to the kind of love he was gonna get from his mother His well-being weighed heavily on my mind as I begged Violet to let me go.Suddenly a masculine voice broke the tension that surrounded the room for so long.“Don't do it, Vee!

Raymond's POV“Has anyone seen my shaving cream?” I asked, yanking the door to my room and walking in.My eyes scanned the dark room in search of any form of life but found none. The room was a dark one, poorly illuminated by a single candle Stick.“What the hell happened to the light?” I whispered as I reached for the switch and turned it on. The blinding rays of the light rushed to my eyes and squinted, allowing my pupils to get accustomed to the rays.In the corners of the room, Elena was seated. She was lost in thoughts as her gaze focused on her reflection in the curved mirrors.“Elena?” I called out with surprise etched all over my face. Unfortunately, my voice was met with no response. Tears strolled down her cheeks, falling effortlessly without restraint.I Couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong, an issue she chose to bury within the walls of her heart.She hadn't spoken a word concerning her sudden disappearance, could it be that she was trau

Raymond's POVI walked into the sitting room, my mind swirling in thoughts.As I strolled in, I noticed the chorus stares of from everyone on my skin“You left in a hurry,” Ralph said, breaking the Silence. “Anything wrong?” he asked as he sipped the coffee which was cradled in his hand."Just a friend from the office," I replied, my tone clipped as I headed toward my room. But Ralph wasn't done."Violet, isn't it?" he asked, a knowing glint in his eye.I stopped in my tracks, my expression stiffening. Had Elena spoken to them? The very sound of that name sends irritation through me, leaving me speechless. I felt a cold shiver down my spine as soon as Violet's name was mentioned. "How did you..." I trailed off, my mind racing with suspicion."I've known you long enough Raymond," Ralph said, setting down his coffee and fixing me with a serious gaze. "You're not the type of man to get so worked up over nothing. Elena made mention of violet the moment you left. Turned out she was the
