LOGINRaven asked, "What time did Mia leave?" His voice was calm, but the question was unexpected.Azzmi paused for a moment before answering."Around 5 p.m.""Cool," Raven responded, stepping closer, his presence dominating the room as he adjusted his belt.For a brief second, Azzmi’s eyes wandered, noting how his clothes fit, the shape of his body. A warmth started to rise inside her, but she quickly looked away, trying to focus.Raven, unfazed, took his time. His movements seemed slow, deliberate, and it left Azzmi feeling unsure. She couldn’t quite understand his actions."Open your legs," he said, his tone quiet but firm.Azzmi’s heart skipped a beat. "What?""I said, open your legs," he repeated, his voice now holding a weight of command.Azzmi felt nervous, unsure, but after a pause, she took a deep breath and finally complied.She gently placed her hand on his chest, making him lose focus. Holding her waist didn't feel enough anymore. She gasped softly as her hand rested on his shou
It’s only 11 in the morning, and Raven has just left for work, which means Azzmi has so much time before he returns in the evening. Yet, she’s already feeling nervous.She can’t seem to fully focus on Mia. Since Mia wasn’t at the launch and had only seen pictures and clips of the diamond necklace, Azzmi brought it over for her. Mia puts it on, and it looks gorgeous around her neck as she takes pictures.Azzmi even holds her phone to take pictures of Mia, but her mind keeps drifting back to Raven and what will happen tonight.It’s only when Mia speaks that Azzmi snaps out of her thoughts. Mia’s taking off the necklace as she talks.“Honestly, just putting this on makes me feel like I’m worth 200 million dollars! Girl, you’re so lucky to have a husband like Raven. He’s such a gentleman. Did you know he was getting this for you? I mean, you had to have known. That’s his sister’s collection, after all.”Azzmi smiles at the memory. “Neither of us knew. That’s why I was totally surprised wh
Azzmi tightened her grip on her phone, her fingers running through her hair as she prepared for her usual night routine."Hi, I just called to ask if you'll be around tomorrow morning around 10," she said.Raven’s mind raced with thoughts of the meeting, but he tried to focus on her words. "That'll depend on when my father says we need to leave for the project.""Cool," Azzmi replied awkwardly, and Raven could tell she was hiding something.He narrowed his eyes, not fully believing her. It felt like there was more to the conversation, but he decided it was better to let her go for now. As long as she was here, he couldn’t stop staring at her.“I guess I’m going to bed now,” Azzmi said with a heavy sigh.She turned around to leave, and Raven watched her walk down the hallway in her robe. It struck him as odd. She looked incredibly seductive in it, but why was she wearing that tonight?The next morning, Raven’s alarm went off, and he groggily got out of bed to freshen up. As his mind cl
The whole family is gathered at the table, and the atmosphere is filled with joy as they celebrate the success of Amy’s diamond necklace launch.Out of everyone, the one who seems the most proud is Azzmi’s father-in-law, and she guesses this is exactly what Raven wanted. He’s sitting right next to her, and she can’t help but look over at him every time her father-in-law says something positive about the necklace around Azzmi’s neck.“The media’s eating it up, and it’s very good for business!” her father-in-law says with a proud smile.“You know what’s crazy about all this?” he continues, raising his glass and looking at Raven with a proud nod.All the food looks and smells so delicious that Azzmi doesn’t even know where to start, there’s so much to choose from. Besides that, there’s a wide variety of drinks, from fruit juice to whiskey and even wine. Azzmi just wants to have a glass of wine right now.One of the waiters stands beside her to pour wine into her glass, but Raven quickly
Since yesterday, Azzmi had been struggling to tell Jezton it was time. She thought it would be easier to send a text message, but it was just as difficult. She had typed it out so many times, but she couldn’t bring herself to hit send. So, here she was, still trying to gather the courage to do it.But that would have to wait, as she was already on her way out. Amy’s launch was about to begin, and they couldn’t be late since they had to go through the red carpet first. The event was being held at one of Raven’s five-star hotels.“Azzmi, we need to go,” Raven’s voice came from the other side of the door as he knocked.“Just a minute!” she called back, quickly putting on her heels.“You always do this,” he sounded annoyed. “Hurry up.”Azzmi quickly smoothed down her body-hugging black dress and slicked back her ponytail. Grabbing her purse, she rushed to the door. Raven was obviously already downstairs.When she opened the door, her eyes widened at the sight of him waiting for her. He wa
It was already 7:00 p.m., and Raven had just returned from the hospital. He found out that Azzmi still wasn’t back. Was she still with Jezton? What could they possibly be doing together this late?Though he kept telling himself it was none of his business, there was a part of him that wanted to call her or even ask the bodyguards where they were. But he didn’t. It shouldn’t matter to him.Before she left, she reassured him that nothing was going on between them. But still, they had just reconnected. Who knew what could have happened? Maybe sparks were flying between them this afternoon, and maybe they…shit. Raven quickly shook that thought off. But what if they’d gotten close? What if they were still going at it right now? No.With each passing minute, he became more restless, and it frustrated him that he couldn’t stop thinking about it.Just as he slumped back in his seat, he heard the car engine outside. He instantly rose to his feet and rushed to the door. But before he even reach
Shantal Harver frowned in response. “Why are you asking about this?”“Answer me!”“As if. I’m not interested in the Harver Corporation, and I have no intention of working there.” Shantal replied casually. However, she was actually very puzzled why Ullysis was so concerned about this matter.“Does h
Shortly after Shantal and Roy headed to the restaurant and found their table, they saw the waiter leading Old Mrs. Ray Ford, Erin, and Natalie, and just was walking toward where Shantal was sitting.Although her marriage to Ullysis had ended unhappily, Shantal didn’t hate Old Mrs. Ray Ford, as the
“Any need to blame me?”Shantal sighed deeply. Seeing that, Erin thought Shantal was about to apologize.But Shantal said, “I think I might have treated you so well before that you don’t clearly understand your status.”Shantal reached out, pinched Erin’s finger, and moved it away from Shantal’s fa
Shantal showed no signs of wanting to help her father keep that secret. She even wondered if he was doing it on purpose to humiliate him.Unfortunately, Shantal’s devilish voice didn’t stop. “That’s why you never let me go out in the past. You were worried the villagers would know I’m your daughter
