LOGINAfter Azzmi’s question, Raven immediately felt stupid for asking. He looked away, clearing his throat. “If you don’t want to tell me, just go.”She sighed, then came back to him and sat on the couch across from him. She placed her handbag on the other seat, leaned back, and crossed her legs. For a few seconds, she touched the sides of her neck with her eyes closed. Raven didn’t know why she was doing it, but it reminded him of yesterday and everything that had happened when they stood in front of the mirror, especially when her body brushed against his.It was only when Azzmi began speaking that he snapped out of his thoughts.“I’m going to meet Jezton. He was my boyfriend in high school. I only recently reconnected with him.”“Are you two a thing again?” Raven held his breath without knowing why.“Why would you ask me that?” Azzmi raised her eyebrows.Raven cleared his throat. “Just answer the question.”She sighed. “No, we’re not.”She then told him all about Jezton and how she plan
Zerra blocked the way, forcing the driver to stop the car. Without hesitation, she began slamming her hands on the window and rushed over to the backseat.How out of control was she to go this far? She didn’t even know who was inside. It could’ve been anyone from Raven’s family. Didn’t she think about that? Or did she just not care?On one hand, Azzmi wanted to tell the driver to move forward so she could get inside and ignore Zerra, but on the other hand, she wanted her gone. She knew Zerra had come to cause trouble, but this was her residence.As Azzmi opened the door, Zerra took a step back, ruffling her messy hair. When she saw it was just Azzmi, she twisted her face in anger.“What the hell are you doing in Raven’s favorite car?” Zerra demanded.“His cars are mine too. Isn’t it obvious?” Azzmi replied, closing the door and stepping away.“Tell him to come out here and face me right now!”“I don’t remember ever saying I’m your servant for you to make demands. If you want to talk t
Raven already had a lot on his mind. There was the meeting this afternoon, Zerra’s desperation to see him, and the fact that Raicko was now dealing with the fallout of it all. That should have been enough to keep him busy, but then there was Azzmi, constantly pulling his attention back to her.After they stepped into his sister’s store, Azzmi seemed completely focused on whatever jewelry she was looking at, but Raven couldn’t help but notice her. As she leaned forward, he couldn’t ignore the outline of her curves. He knew he shouldn’t be looking, but it was impossible not to.Had she worn a different dress, would it have been any different?While leading her to the elevator, he wrapped his arm around her waist. It felt like it had been so long since he held her like this. He’d been trying to keep some distance, but now, here they were.As soon as they entered the office, Raven could tell Amy was watching closely. If she planned to tell their parents, Raven was ready to give her someth
“What about her?” Raven sat up and rubbed his temples, feeling frustrated.Raicko’s voice came through the phone, sounding annoyed. “She’s been calling me a few times because she can’t reach you. I didn’t answer or reply to her message.”Raven shook his head and sighed. “Seriously? I thought something bad happened.”“This is bad!” Raicko said. “I don’t want to deal with your crazy ex. You better take care of her.”“What did she say in the message?”“She wants to talk to you, and if you don’t, she’ll stay outside your house until it causes problems.”“Is she really that desperate?”“If she’s telling me this, it’s pretty obvious.”“I hope you blocked her.”“Yeah, I did. But you better talk to her before she shows up at my place. I don’t want her here.”“No.”“Would you rather she waits outside your house?”“I’ll make sure that doesn’t happen.”“Okay, but, ”“I’ll talk to you later.” Raven ended the call, taking a deep breath. He couldn’t believe Zerra would go this far to get his attent
After constantly thinking about Raven’s breakup, Azzmi finally managed to fall asleep around 4 a.m. Now, she was paying the price for it, feeling like she hadn’t rested enough. The exhaustion was clear in her eyes, but she wasn’t going to let it show. She’d use makeup to cover it up; she couldn’t afford to look like a mess.She was supposed to meet Amy at 12 p.m. to try on the diamond necklaces before their launch. Even though Amy would likely go ahead with the launch regardless of Azzmi’s opinion, Azzmi actually wanted to participate. She was honored that Amy had asked her. Given Amy’s fashion sense and her influence in the beauty industry, Azzmi was sure the pieces would be stunning.To be ready in time, Azzmi decided to take a shower. But just before she could step in, she heard from Raven. When she saw his name on her phone, she felt a wave of relief. She might have made it too obvious how happy she was to hear from him, and even asking where he was made her feel a little embarras
It was already three in the morning, and Azzmi couldn’t seem to fall asleep. Her mind kept racing with countless thoughts and questions about how everything had unfolded in the past few hours.She wondered if Raven might not come back, considering the time he left and the state in which he had departed.She still couldn’t believe he had broken up with Zerra just like that. What part did she play in it, for Zerra to blame her so much? All Azzmi had done was tell him what had happened, and the things he discovered while verifying the details led to their breakup.Though she was curious about how he had done it, another part of her told her to just let it be for now. Raven might not be in the best state for her to start asking such questions.Whatever the case was, she hoped he was okay. He had seemed disturbed, but why did she care so much? She shouldn’t.She hadn’t even told him about his mother’s unexpected visit and what she had said, but even without speaking to him about it, what h
Roger Zellweger was a typical hypocrite. He wanted to take the Harver family’s wealth for himself, but he still wanted an excellent reputation. He would never let Ullysis Ray Ford expose this evidence to the public.“Mr. Zellweger, you may not be familiar with me. I am a very protective person. Eve
Shantal nodded, saying, “Of course I can understand your worries and fears as parents, but this is no excuse for you to take money and cause trouble. Whether I take further legal action will depend entirely on what you do after this.”“We... We’ll follow what you say, as long as you don’t sue us, a
Shaun saw Ullysis smiling when Shantal reluctantly sat down next to him.Immediately after that, Ullysis announced that the bonuses of all R&D employees would be tripled. Shaun wouldn't believe it had nothing to do with Shantal.Therefore, Shaun was very grateful to Shantal for her guidance in his
The chauffeur and Weldon were speechless.Although the insulation panel was soundproof, it couldn’t completely block out the sound in the car. Thus, they had both heard what Shantal had said to Ullysis.They hadn’t expected Shantal to be so wild.They looked at each other and were relieved that the
