BLAIR'S POV“Blair, do not take it to heart."Instead of me consoling him, Jeff has been the one consoling me since Raymond left. I couldn't help but break down in tears seeing Raymond acting that way.What on earth had Jeff done to him to receive that kind of ill treatment?Raymond has gone too far this time, and I will take action on it. I won't just allow him to vent his anger on Jeff whenever he wants. “Since he has already signed the papers, you should forget about him." I'll do that because I have no reason to think about him anymore. But what pained me the most was the fact that Jeff wouldn't defend himself from Raymond. It isn't like Raymond is more well-built than he is; they have the same body structure, yet Jeff wouldn't fight him back. Even though he came from a very poor family, Jeff never let anyone bully him while we were in high school.Not even Raymond and his squads. But now, he is acting so calmly. “Look at your face, Jeff, it's swollen."Jeff's right eye h
I left that company with pains piled up in my heart, not because I signed the divorce papers, but because she was so happy about it. If it was I who sent it first, she wouldn't have been so happy, she would have been crying her eyes out and cursing me.Didn't she even get the message I sent to her?I am sure she saw it because her phone was in her hands when I entered the office.Was she happy when she saw it? Or she wasn't?Why wouldn't she when she had already gotten what she wanted?A part of me believes that Blair and Jeff planned the whole thing together. They must have known that Cassie was coming to the room, that was why they deliberately left the door open for her to see them. “Where did you go?"Cassie held my hand. "I went to that company, and guess what?”"You saw them together, right?”"Yes, you got it right. Blair and Jeff were together, in her office, sitting side by side.” "Didn't I tell you? Well, that's not a new thing. Did you sign the divorce papers?”"Yes, I
RAYMOND'S POVEver since Cassie showed me the evidence of Jeff and Blair kissing in Jeff's house, my heart has been aching bitterly. I didn't believe her a week ago when she told me that because I thought Cassie was lying to me. Blair is really cheating on me, and I can never forgive her. How could she let me believe that she loves me, then leave my office to go stay under the same roof with the man she loves in disguise?This isn't adding up at all, and I wish to see her right now. “You have to let her know you've discovered her dirty secret, Ray."Cassie urged me. “What if she comes for you? She already knew you were the only one who saw them together."Cassie sighed worriedly. “I know she will definitely come for me, but I don't care since I am doing this for you. You don't deserve her, Ray; she cheated on you."Gosh!Letting her know I found out was a great idea, so without wasting time, I sent the picture and two paragraphs of message to her. When she sees it, she'll under
Even though Grandpa George assured me he was going to deal with Raymond, I knew he wouldn't come looking for me.So, taking the difficult step first is the only thing on my mind. Wouldn't it be more painful for him if I made the first move?He won't expect it, and he will be so shocked.Let him and Cassie do whatever they want to do with their lives. If Grandpa George had listened to me, I would have told him to forget about talking to Raymond. But that's fine, it won't change anything from what I want to do. “Good morning, Ms. Blair,"Just what I have been waiting for. The lawyer is here with the divorce papers. I offered him a seat then he gave me the paper. “Did you include the compensation?" I asked him just to be sure because I don't want to take anything from Raymond. The company my late grandpa left for me is doing so well, and it has made me so rich beyond my expectations. What else would I take from Raymond?Maybe in the future, he can decide to give whatever he wan
It's already been two weeks, yet Raymond hasn't said anything about what Cassie saw. Maybe she didn't tell him because she had no evidence. Or she told him, but Raymond didn't believe her. Either of the two, because I know my sister. She would have told him already. A day after the incident, I wanted to go see Cassie, but I couldn't because I was in the process of moving out of Jeff's house. Jeff didn't like that. He said I should stay for another month or two, so everything will be back to normal. However, I couldn't go with what he said.So many things have started happening between us. Besides, Mr. Smith was already in custody, so there was no need to be scared of anything.Well. My new house has been so peaceful since I moved in. It isn't so big, it is just the perfect one for not more than four people to stay. This time, I hired only two maids, a gardener, and the security man.I would have hired more, but I am afraid of what would happen again. “Ms. Blair, we are so
BLAIR'S POVI am doomed!Of all people, it was Cassie who caught me with Jeff. How did we even get there?Oh My God!“Cassie!"Jeff ran after her, but Cassie didn't answer him. She was hurrying down the stairs as fast as she could so Jeff wouldn't catch up with her. “Cassie, please, wait, it isn't what you think it is."She paused when I spoke. Cassie turned back, looking at me with a scoff. I know nothing I say will make her believe it wasn't intentional. Cassie has already said that Jeff and I are lovers, Raymond won't think twice if she informs him of this. Not like I care about Raymond's reaction, but everything is just a misunderstanding. Jeff only came to deliver the ice cream he got me, and we ended up in a passionate kiss. We didn't plan that, we don't even know how it started. “What do you want to say? That you and Jeff aren't lovers?"She burst into laughter. Jeff seems so hopeless, and so do I. But I have to do something so that Cassie won't go around telling an
CASSIE'S POVMaking sure Raymond doesn't think about any other person but me is the only thing I am after in his life. The way Blair wanted to have him all for herself, I will make sure I succeed in doing that. Raymond is now mine, but I am still scared of something. His grandfather keeps bringing Blair's name to him, and I don't like it. If it continues that way, the spell I put on him will break. I will be the only person he hates in this world if the spell breaks. And I won't let that happen. I'd rather make his family lose him than me lose him. It's high time I come up with a new plan that will make Raymond stop listening to his grandpa. Make anyone against our love speechless.I picked up my phone from the dressing table to call one of my guys, but a notification popped up.If it were any other news, I would have just ignored it.But this is about Blair, again.I wonder what she is up to now.She seems to be getting the spotlight ever since the mansion burned down.uhn?
Matilda kept on saying stuff angrily, but I don't blame her. It's all Grandpa's fault. If he had not instilled the rule that no woman in the Reece household would work or do any business, this wouldn't have been happening. Matilda has never once stopped me from insulting me, but now, she is doing that. “You are so daft, Raymond. And you have no control over your wife!"She may be older than me, but she has no right to insult me. “Watch your tongue, Matilda…”" Or what?” She stepped forward. " Or you will make Grandpa George send my husband and me packing, right?”She burst into laughter. " Go ahead and do that. After all, you are his favorite grandchild. Grandpa George does everything you want, he doesn't even care about the rest.” Sighs. I will be forced to hit Matilda if I stay there, listening to her words. And I don't want that, I won't want to be tagged as the guy who beat his cousin's wife. " Can you just leave? I have no time for all this.”I turned to leave, but sh
Mr. Smith?I only know one Mr. Smith, the ex-shareholder in my company. Could it be him?So it isn't Cassie or Raymond?This is serious!“Wait, isn't that the man you said you terminated his contract a few days ago?" Jeff asked, and I nodded my head. "Yes.” The officer added. " That was what he said when he was questioned. He said he got angry because you embarrassed him in front of everyone, that was why he wanted you killed and the company in his possession.”What!My grandpa's company?How dare he!Wasn't he the one who started it?He looked down on me yet, he returned to plead, and I forgave him. We were even in the process of renewing his contract when the house was set ablaze. That fool!If I can see him now, I will slap him across the face for putting me in this situation. Doesn't he have a human consciousness?How could he do this to a fellow woman because of jealousy?“Can I see him?"I asked the officer, standing on my feet. “Sure."We left the officer's office to t
