|GREY’s POV| Kyle and I make our way out of the party venue into the elevator without saying anything to each other, but I am 100 percent sure that without me having to say anything, he can tell that I am so pissed and today is not just the day that I can wear my poker face and pretend that everything is right because I hate people testing me, spying on me and trying to act smart with me, but those words perfectly describe what Maddison is trying to do with me and I am not enjoying it at all. “I will stand guard outside,” Kyle offers as soon as we walk out of the elevator and approach the said room 306 which has an epoxy resin sign with 306 displaying through the work of art, indicating that I am at the right place and Madison’s assistant that I don’t like, standing in front of the room as if his job description is that of a bodyguard instead of a personal assistant. “Thank you,” I mutter before going in because sometimes I get the feeling that I don’t show that I value my best fri
|Valeri’s POV| After the rather unsettling exchange of words that I had with Mathilda, I started looking around for Grey who was supposed to be talking to my dad, but my dad was busy talking to investors and Grey was not with him. I started looking around the room for Grey without success but one thing that I found strange was that Madison, Kyle, and Grey suddenly disappeared from the hall I started wondering if they had something on their sleeves because a lot of things had changed from the wedding that I witnessed in my past life and I have no idea if the reason for me feeling so out of place at this wedding is because I didn’t pay so much attention to what was going on around me then. Grey and his best friend finally decided to grace us with their presence, and after they did the wedding part started properly with Grey and I exchanging rings, and saying our vows which was nothing special… we just repeated after the officiating minister and after that, we were asked to seal our ma
/Grey’s POV/ Thankfully, the sham of a wedding has finally come to an end, and all I just need to do now is to make a mental note of a few people that has close ties to Jack Donald’s and his company because I think they may come in handy eventually. “Hey man,” I lean backward in an attempt to give Kyle instructions, then it suddenly occurs to me that he is nowhere around because he was busy spreading his gospel during my wedding, trying to mingle with his latest catch that turned out to be the feisty blonde from earlier. Anyway, I don’t blame him…..man’s got to do what they have to do to keep his body and soul together more so, we have been through a whole lot today so he should get to blow some steam while I carry on with my plans. “There he is,” Jack Donald’s voice resounds, pointing in my direction. “Grey……” he calls out to me. “Meet Mr. Collins, one of the latest investors in our fashion house,” Jack Donald introduces me and I pause as I take in the sight of Madison’s fa
/Grey’s POV/ I make my way out of the hotel without anyone trying to talk to me because people outside the business world barely know me, and in no time I locate my car that the bodyguards packed right in front of the hotel instead of the parking lot so that it is easy to locate them. I try to wait outside for Kyle for a few minutes, but he seems to be taking forever to step out of the same hotel that I just walked out of, so I decide to wait in the car instead because my body is more than tired from the rigorous activities that I put it through today, and I am not about to collapse, not at this point in my life that I have a revenge plan that is starting to take shape to stick to. “Hey,” I acknowledge my little crush that I completely forgot that I asked to wait in the car for me, as soon as I set my foot in the car so that I don’t come off as rude. “Hi,” she answers without lifting her face from the phone that she is busy pressing. “It is nice that she seems to not have time f
/Grey’s POV/ “Can I talk to you for a few seconds?” I speak up, gesturing at Kyle after leaving everyone to jubilate for a while. “As long as you people talking means that I get take my bestie inside, then you guys will be joining us later, then I am super cool with that,” she tables her condition while I stop to process what she is saying especially because Kyle keeps acting like he doesn’t know that I just want to get rid of the talkative blonde so that we can talk in private. “Whatever sails your boat,” I reply to her because I will subscribe to anything just to get her off my track. “I like that…” she says sending me an exaggerated wink while shaking her body back and forth. “I know that we are going to get along so well,” she says as she moves from my side and goes away from the window. “What the hell man?” I mouth to Kyle as soon as Miss Blonde’s attention is focused on talking to my little crush. “Calm down man! I got this,” he assures me, and I hiss because he is ac
/Valeri’s POV/ I waited for my bestie to come up with an excuse that would stop me from going to the Remington’s mansion which happens to be my worst nightmare at the moment, and the next minute she showed up with Grey’s smoking hot best friend. I was still trying to process why she came in person instead of getting back to me like we agreed on the phone then I saw how she was all over Grey acting like a crazy fan girl to obviously annoy him. While still on the topic of annoying my husband, I found out that the idea that she wanted to come up with was a double date between Grey, me, her, and Kyle.Even though I was dying out of embarrassment, I had to act cool about the whole situation while praying deep down that she won’t irritate Grey any further than she was already doing because I knew that I will be the one to suffer the consequences of her actions. Thankfully, Grey was not in the mood to act like the egoistic and self-centered person that he always is because he just allow
|Grey’s POV| I blink back in shock to process everything that Kyle just said to me and the only logical explanation behind his action is that he abandoned me just to have fun with his latest catch and it is extremely annoying. Kyle is the president of the Playboy’s Association in this city, and as much as he takes spreading his payboy gospel seriously, he puts me second to none, so I just don’t get why he put that blonde above me. “Did I overreact by any chance?” I stop to ask myself. “Well…. I guess Kyle is right and we can take the night off from worrying about this whole revenge thing,” I try to convince myself as I get out of the car. On getting out of the car, I saw the driver standing outside, so I beckon for him to come closer. “You sent for me sir,” he says as soon as he approaches me. “I am going inside for a party, but I don’t know how long the party is going to last, so just be on standby so that if I need to go home before daybreak, I won’t have to start looking for
|Valeri’s POV| “Water…water,” I mutter half asleep as the thirst sensation and oral dryness at the back of my throat become unbearable for me but no one is answering me. “Vee…..please get me water,” I plead because my head is seriously pounding, so I just want to drink water and go back to sleep to see if sleeping a little bit more will help to relieve my headache. “Here you go,” a male voice that is completely different from that of my bestie’s voice offers and the alarm in my head goes off as I swiftly flutter my eyes open to see who it is, forgetting the throbbing pain in my head. “Ouch…” I wince in pain. “You had a little too much to drink last night, so I asked the kitchen to prepare a hangover soup for you and it should be here in no time,” he informs and on hearing that, my eyes start to dart back and forth around the room to take in my environment. Hold up… Wait a minute… “How did I leave the party venue yesterday night?” “Most importantly, why am I in the Remington ma
