로그인On his way to meet Zerra and make things right between them, Raven decides to speak with Raicko first. While he could warn him over the phone, he feels it won’t be enough. Raicko needs to see that Raven is serious.“I shouldn’t take long,” Raven thinks. “Afterwards, I’ll be with my girl until tomorrow. I never want to see her look so upset again. All that because I didn’t pick up her calls or messages? That won’t happen again.”He hasn’t even bothered to check the articles that have been posted. He knows some of them are about Myca, but others are about his actions as a caring husband to his wife.As he thinks about it, Raven remembers how he felt when he carried Zerra in his arms and spoke to the press. It was a moment of truth, but does it even matter?Still, he can’t forget how Zerra hid her face in his chest after his speech. It was a powerful act, one he won't easily forget.When he pulls up to the mall, Raven sees Raicko’s car in the parking lot. Raicko is leaning against it, bu
Azzmi knows if she had taken it easy on her injured leg, she wouldn’t be going through this right now. But honestly, she has no regrets. She wanted to see the hospital, the children, and everyone around. It was her first time here, and it was still worth it.She knows she should be in the boardroom right now for her first briefing, but since it’s not too important and she already knows what Deininic is talking to them about, she figures she can always join them next time. Besides, she’s already met them.Trying not to put too much pressure on her leg, she leans back in her seat, placing her hands on the other two chairs beside her and extending her leg.“Is there anything you need, Mrs. Bamford?” one of the bodyguards asks as he comes closer.“Not for now,” she replies, closing her eyes to take a few deep breaths.As she relaxes, she imagines the children's faces, and it makes her smile. She was a little nervous interacting with them for the first time, not knowing how they’d receive
Raicko had been Raven’s best friend for years. The two of them had shared countless wild nights, filled with crazy parties and beautiful women from all over the world.But everything changed when Raven met Zerra.Still, Raicko continues to live the same life, surrounded by women who are always available to him.No matter what happens, Raicko knows Zerra is off-limits to him, which is why Raven never catches him staring at her lustfully. If it happens, it’s probably when Raven isn’t around.But how dare Raicko check out Azzmi when Raven is right here? Is it because she means nothing to him? It doesn’t matter how Raven feels about her. He needs to talk to Raicko about this, but it’ll have to wait.“There you are!” Raicko calls out from behind, making Azzmi turn to look at him.“I was wondering when I’d see you around here,” she says, smiling brightly at him.“Here I am now.” Raicko grins and gestures widely with his hands, and Raven can’t help but sigh in frustration.He doesn’t think t
Something about the calls is starting to irritate Raven.At first, he did not think much of it.Raicko liked control.Liked updates.Liked knowing exactly where everyone was at all times.Fine.But now?The calls are becoming excessive.Only a few minutes after Raven texted him saying he and Azzmi were on the way, his phone rings again.Raven stares at the screen with immediate annoyance before answering.“What is it this time?”He rubs his forehead already exhausted.“Where exactly are you?” Raicko asks immediately.Raven’s irritation deepens.“We just left the toy store.”“Good. So how long until you get here?”Raven leans back against the seat with a sharp sigh.“I already told you. Around fifteen minutes.”His tone hardens.“You know this. Why do you keep asking?”A pause.Then suspicion slips into his voice.“Is everything okay over there?”Raicko exhales slowly.“Actually… there’s something I didn’t tell you.”Raven straightens slightly.“It’s about the press.”His stomach tight
Azzmi doesn’t know how long she’s been crouched in the middle of the toy aisle.People pass by.Carts roll around her.Children laugh somewhere nearby.But none of it reaches her anymore.Because in her hands is a pink bear.And suddenly, she feels like she can’t breathe.Its soft fur presses against her trembling fingers as she stares at the familiar black-and-white ribbon around its neck. The bear’s huge eyes look up at her innocently, the bright yellow heart still tucked between its tiny paws exactly the way she remembers.A shaky smile spreads across her lips.Then breaks.A soft laugh escapes her first, but it quickly turns fragile as emotion crashes into her chest without warning.No.Not without warning.This bear has always done this to her.Her fingertips brush over the ribbon again, slower this time, and another memory hits her so hard it almost folds her in half.A hospital room.The smell of medicine.Her mother lying weakly in bed with this exact kind of bear clutched in
Before Raven could even step out of the limousine, Zerra rushed to his window, fists clenched.It took everything in him to stay calm. He was on his way to see the children, and he didn’t want anyone ruining his mood.When he stepped out of the car and closed the door, he glanced over at Azzmi.“Stay here and keep quiet,” he told her.Azzmi nodded without looking up from her phone.“Are you serious right now?” Zerra yelled, grabbing the back of his jacket and pulling him to face her. “Even when I’m right here, you’re still ignoring me?”Raven fought to stay composed. He took a deep breath and grabbed her wrist, pulling her away from the car.“Let me go!” Zerra cried, trying to pull away. “I said, let me go!”Raven ignored her and held on for a few more seconds before letting her go. She crossed her arms and turned away, her oversized shirt hanging awkwardly off her shoulders.“What’s going on here?” Raven asked, trying to keep his voice steady.“Do men really need to ask?” Zerra repli
“What do we have to worry about? The worst that could happen is that we have a fight and never speak again. When Dad takes control of the Harver Corporation, we can kick Shantal out and let her die in the streets. It’s easy.”Hearing Regina’s words that made things sound easy, Susan rolled her eyes
Shaking her head in disapproval, Shantal snorted. “It’s one thing if you want to deal with them. However, it’s a completely different matter if I want to teach Regina a lesson. This is my personal business, and I’ll handle it myself. Mr. Ray Ford, mind your own business.”Noticing that Shantal’s to
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
