Vera's POV

Anna's eyes sparkled the moment I told her I was pregnant. Her face lit up, and she reached across the table to hold my hand. She couldn't stop smiling and her smile put me in a very happy mood.

She was basically more happy than I and Reymond combined, the parents of the child.

It felt so good to have her back

"Vera! That's amazing news! Oh my God, congratulations!" she said, grinning from ear to ear.

I laughed softly, feeling warmth spread across my chest. "Thanks. I haven't told a people yet, but I just... I wanted you to know."

"I'm so honored! This is big, girl! And Reymond? He must be over the moon!"

“Yes, we both are.”

Anna squeezed my hand again. "I'm happy for you. You deserve this happiness. After everything you've been through."

"Thank you," I said quietly, smiling at her.

“I'm sure it's going to be a pretty baby girl just like You.”

Woah. I had not even thought about that

“Let's not go that far, Anna.”

“Okayy.” We laughed.

Dinner continued after, with laughter

    Vera's POVI stood in front of the glass-paneled building Reymond had dropped me off at. It had several floors above, the morning light reflecting off the sleek tall glass building. I took a moment to take a deep breath. I was so excited and nervous at the same time.I pushed the glass door open and entered the building. The place was really beautiful and elegant. It had cream marble floors, a long desk sat at the far end with a woman seated behind it, typing on a sleek keyboard. Then on the other side was a door leading to the other sides, I guess.Framed photos of models in different, unique poses covers lined the walls. Places they also featured in magazines, shows and events were also lined up in picture frames on the wall.At the other side were chairs, a long roll of chairs for people to sit down.From the look of things, the woman sitting there was the receptionist given she was the only person I saw so I approached her.“Good morning,” I said as I got to the desk.The recept

    Diana's POVI stood frozen, the chill of the evening breeze enveloping around me like a cool blanket. There she was, my mother standing at my doorstep with tears in her eyes. She held her purse to her chest like she had a huge sum of money in it and was trying to protect it at all cost.I wanted to tease her or laugh but this wasn't a laughing matter. She would only cry more."Diana," she said, almost in a whisper. "Why haven’t you been answering my calls? I was worried."I rolled my eyes. I'm not in the mood for this at all. "If you came here to scold me or tell me how disappointed you are, don’t bother. I already know."Her face fell. Her eyes were full of emotion as she stepped closer. "No, baby, no. That’s not why I’m here. I just… I needed to see you. I needed to be sure you were okay. I'm your mother after all." Her voice cracked, She was shivering too, and just like that, my walls crumbled. I couldn't leave her like that. I opened the door wider and stepped aside. "Come in."S

    Vera's POVThe first thing I heard was the continuous beep of a machine. My eyes fluttered open slowly, the white ceiling above making me sqùint. I blinked again, my vision adjusting to the brightness around me. I felt cold air touching my cheeks, the light smell of antiseptic in the air.I was so confused, trying to remember where I was and how I got here. Then it hit me. The white walls, the machine, the faint smell of antiseptic, I was in the hospital. But why?Just then, a rush of my memories came back. I had been with Reymond at home, eating, talking, laughing and just enjoying a meal as a married couple when I felt the weakness in my hands, then my chest had gotten tight, my vision became blurry and I couldn't feel my hands again. Then darkness.

    The ArrestVera's POVMy ears had been itching for the arrival of my husband in his black BMW which had just arrived the moment I finished placing all the deliciously cooked dishes on the dining table. Finally, he was here and I could hear the hard brakes screeching to a haut in such a hurry. In the next minute Francis walked into the house looking ghostly.He scanned the house decoration. On the wall was boldly written happy third wedding anniversary, on the table were mouth watery dishes and the aroma was irresistible."Welcome home Francis…” I kissed him on the lips but he did not return my kiss. He must be very tired. I thought to myself while I let him towards the table to eat.."I went through a lot getting everything ready. Do you like it?" I said to him, hoping to get a gleaming response but his words came out coldly."Yes."I frowned hard, even though I was trying to understand that it isn't in the nature of men to pay attention to every detail and perhaps always give complim

    To Avenge You VERAI headed outside the huge empty villa and no one stopped me. Obviously, the owner lived alone and didn't have any working staff around this place.Even the gates were automatic and it opened right when I appeared in front and closed right after. I walked away without looking back or waiting to say thank you to the man who got me out of jail.Reaching the busy streets, I recalled that I didn't have any money on me to board a taxi to my location. I frowned, looking at where Francis put me. Being unable to cater for my own bills. The future heiress to the Andres family fortune.I walked down the busy cold street and I counted the moments until the road went dark and the crickets started to cry. It was already nighttime and I hadn't even half the way to the graveyard yet. Or, I didn't even know the way there from here.I continued to walk until I started to feel exhausted and drained, although my mind was starting to clear off the fact that I was an ex-convict.

    VERA'S POV"I will drop you off at home and then later on we can start making preparations for our wedding." He said again, casually like he already had everything planned out without my knowledge."And what makes you think I want to marry you?! " I yelled. " I mean you should be angry at me for running off before our wedding, why do you want me back?!" I questioned, unable to hide the curiosity in my tone."Hmm... Aveera." He sighed. "I'll take you home, take a shower, have a good long nap, after you've rested, we can finally have a chi-chat. I don't think you're in the best state of mind to have any conversation with me now especially not that one."The car drove along the same path and after a moment, it came to a halt. Raymond dropped me off in front of my home. As I got out of the car, I was greeted with the cold air. I held myself, in a fit to keep myself warm, still standing by the car, Raymond said to me through the window, "I will call you Aveera." And then I want he'd as the

    Diana's POVThe walls of my apartment felt like they were closing in, I saw curled up on the couch, a half empty glass of wine in my hand. I have been consuming a lot of wine lately and I couldn't care less, it calmed me down. My phone lay face up on the table, still and silent. I had called Francis five times now and he was still ignoring my calls.Each ring that ended in voicemail felt like a knife being twisted deep into my chest. I tossed the phone aside and sighed. He was a coward, I couldn't care less if he picked my call or not.“Bastard,” I hissed. “Spineless, weak coward.”All this because of that silly video. I had counted on Francis to handle Vera, to bury her and everything she stood for. Instead, he left me so alone and was angry, how stupid of him. And Reymond? I am going to get you back for what he did.We made a promise. He had sworn that no matter how bad things got, he won't expose me. That video was supposed to be between us and now he uploaded it and ruined my repu

    Vera's POVThe internet had a way of making things feel unreal until they weren’t. For the past few weeks, I’d carried a huge weight I couldn't name, one that pressed against my chest every time I opened my phone and saw that message of losing my modelling contract. But now… the silence is gone.It was replaced by something else—relief. Real, honest relief.Reymond had posted the video.And just like that, the truth was out.People had seen the part where I had defended myself against Diana. The damage to Diana’s lie was slow and sharp. And best of all, my name was finally cleared.I sat at the edge of the bed, my phone in my hand. Notifications kept pouring in, but I ignored them for now. All I could do was sit there and breathe.Reymond came into the room, towel in hand, drying his face. “You saw it?”I looked up at him, smiled, and nodded. “Yes. I did. Thank you.”He crossed over to me and knelt down, resting his head on my thighs. “Don’t thank me. You didn’t deserve any of what Di

    Reymond's POVI left Francis’ place after I sent him the video. Every second I spent watching the video again while he sat there in stunned silence only made my blood boil more. I had to grip the steering wheel tighter on my way back home, trying to stop the heat rising in my throat.Diana had crossed every line. And Francis, I couldn’t even begin to understand how he sat with that kind of guilt. He looked like a man who had watched the ground disappear beneath his feet. Good. He should feel it.When I walked into the house, I found Vera curled up on the couch, a blanket wrapped around her like a baby. She looked up, her eyes red but clear. Not crying anymore. Just waiting.I dropped the keys on the table and walked straight to her."You don’t have to worry," I said, bending down in front of her. "I’m going to get you that contract back."She blinked, confusion flashing across her face. "Rey, it’s gone. They terminated it. Francis made sure of that.""Francis is also the one who’s goi

    Reymond’s POV“Is this the kind of image we want representing the Andreas family brand?”I stared at it, anger rushing to my head.No. Not because she looked bad but she looked incredible and sexy. But because the board would never understand. They saw scandal in everything.I didn’t call her. I couldn’t. Not with the way we left things. I will talk to her when I get home.When I got home, she was in the bedroom, standing near the mirror, brushing her hair. Peaceful. Cold.“Vera,” I said.She didn’t answer.I stepped in. “What’s the meaning of those images?”She didn’t even blink. “Not now, Reymond. I’m tired.”“This isn’t just about you,” I snapped. “A board member reached out. You’re the CEO’s wife. You can’t be doing this kind of modeling.”She turned. “There it is. The control. The ego. Trying to turn me into what you want.”“I’m trying to protect you.”“No, you’re trying to silence me. Again.”I pulled out my phone and showed her the text.She barely glanced at it. “I just need y

    Diana's POVThat stupid person that ordered me hadn't sent me a message yet. I kept replaying everything in my head. From Reymond showing me evidence of me and then that text message.The message came in at 11:47 a.m."Meet me at the Glass Orchid restaurant. 12:00 p.m. Don’t be late. Come alone."No name. No details. Just instructions, like someone had the right to order me around.I stared at the text for a minute before throwing my phone on the bed. The audacity. After what Reymond did in our last meeting, I wasn’t in the mood for unknown text orders. But curiosity got the better of me. That, and wanting to destroy Vera were the only things I derived joy from.After that, I got a call from my mother.I didn't say anything when I picked the call, I waited for her to talk.“Hello, Diana. How are You?”“I'm fine, mum. Why are you calling me?” I said, sounding uninterested. “You're my daughter. I'm just checking up on you.” “Last I remembered, you didn't support me so except you want
