(Lucy's POV)

Raymond wasn’t alone in the executive canteen. About seven other people were having lunch with him. It looked like a lunch meeting.

Everyone’s heads turned toward me, their eyes wide. Some looked genuinely confused, wondering who I was and why I had just barged in like that. Others had their eyes fixed on my chest.

I immediately brought my hands up to cover my half-exposed breasts. Embarrassment washed over me. I had intentionally opened my dress like this because I thought Raymond would be alone.

“Who is she, Mr. Salvador?” one man asked, glancing briefly at Raymond. “Is she part of the meeting?”

Raymond stared at me, his eyes full of irritation. “What the hell are you doing here, Lucy?” he asked.

I swallowed hard, my heart pounding. There wasn’t any proper reason for me being here. Should I say I came to ask for a job? I’d be the biggest fool to admit I came to seduce him.

“I… I…” I stuttered, thinking hard.

Timothy rushed in immediately after me. He had run to

    (Patricia’s POV)Mason pulled his arm away so fast that I lost my balance and fell to the ground, hitting my knee on the tiled floor.“Ouch,” I winced in pain.Raymond’s head snapped toward me immediately. The moment he saw me on the floor, his eyes burned with anger and his jaw tightened. His fist clenched hard... and before I knew it, his hand shot forward and slammed straight into Mason’s face.“How dare you hurt her?!” he yelled, rage pouring out of him as his fist connected with Mason’s lips.It felt like Raymond had been holding himself back before… but seeing me get hurt snapped something inside him.Mason staggered backwards, but Raymond was already furious. I recognized that look...it was the same dangerous anger I saw the day I had a cut on my lip, the day Elizabeth slapped me.Raymond rushed at Mason again and delivered another heavy punch to his face. And just like that, the fight escalated. This wasn’t an argument anymore… it became a full-blown physical fight.Panic sho

    (Mason's POV)I sighed, rubbing my temples. Really? So these were the lies she could come up with."They’ve been married for a while now, and they made it official two days ago," she continued."How shameless can you be to slander Patricia like that?" I said, disappointed. "Patricia would never do that to me, and Raymond? He would never betray me by marrying my wife!""You don’t believe me?" Rose asked. "You can check for yourself. It’s all over the internet anyway!"Before I could respond, she held up her phone, making sure I saw the trending news. I sighed at her persistence and reluctantly looked at the screen.>>>"For Real: Mr. Raymond Salvador confirmed at his company’s event that he is married to Mrs. Patricia Addison, president of Smithfield!" one headline read."Shocking revelation: Mr. Salvador and Mrs. Addison announce their marriage," said another.

    (Mason’s POV)It had been almost a week since that day at the office... since the day I failed Patricia’s test. I hadn’t been myself ever since. Every day felt like punishment. I still hadn’t gotten over the fact that my family no longer had any shares in the company, and worse… I couldn’t get over the fact that I disappointed Patricia all over again.She must be so disappointed in me. And now, earning her forgiveness wouldn’t be easy. She would never believe in me again.“But giving up isn’t an option… Patricia loves me too much to walk away from us just like that,” I muttered to myself as I wandered through the garden.Every flower held a memory of Patricia and me. They only pushed me harder to get her back.I was just about to head back inside when I heard a familiar voice. I moved closer and saw Rose talking on the phone.“You don’t have to come here,” she said, her voice tense. “I already told you things aren’t going well here, and that’s why I haven’t brought Liam to see you ye

    (Patricia's POV)For a terrifying moment, the whole place went silent, like something terrible had just happened. Then, all at once, everyone jumped from their seats. Raymond rushed to me immediately and held my hand. With his other hand, he lifted my chin to check the burn on my lips.“Are you okay?” he asked, his face filled with concern.I nodded slowly, my heart still racing. Julie ran to my side right away. Her small hands held my arm, her eyes wide with worry.“Oh, my poor girl, let me see,” Mrs. Salvador said as she cupped my cheeks gently and checked the burn too.Tears welled up in my eyes... not because of the pain, but because of how loved I felt in that moment. This was the kind of family I had always dreamed of. A family that cared deeply about me.“Does it hurt a lot?” Mrs. Salvador asked again, her worry growing when she noticed the tears gathering in my eyes.I shook my head quietly, pouting like a child as I tried to hold back the tears. “No, it doesn’t hurt anymore,

    (Patricia’s POV)I turned quietly on the bed, stretching my hand toward where Raymond had been lying, but the space was empty. I slowly opened my eyes and saw he was no longer there.I was still naked under the blanket, and I clearly remembered how we had spent the whole night together in this room.“Honey?” I called in a sleepy voice, but there was no reply.I glanced at the clock on the wall. It was 8 a.m. I sighed and fell back on the bed, pulling the blanket over myself.If today were a workday, I would already be rushing to get ready. But thankfully, it was Sunday. No work. Just another beautiful day to enjoy here at Raymond’s family villa.We had arrived yesterday, and the whole day had been fun. It felt like a real family vacation. I enjoyed every moment. This place really felt like home.A soft knock on the door pulled me out of my thoughts. Could it be Raymond? He always knocked before entering my room. What was he worried about? That he might walk in on me naked, when he had

    (Raymond’s POV)"Raymond?" Patricia called softly as she followed me out of the building.I didn’t stop. I wasn’t in a good mood, not after what Lucy did. I couldn’t believe she had the guts to pull a stunt like that… creating drama just to ruin the night. How dare she?I had wanted to shut her down and put her in her place, but Patricia stopped me. Yes, Lucy embarrassed herself, but I hated that Patricia held me back. She made me stand there and watch that shameless woman disrespect her."Honey!" Patricia called again, walking faster.I swallowed hard. Honey? She reached me and held my hand, stopping me from going any further.“What’s wrong?” she asked softly, her voice full of concern.Her gentle hands cupped my face, forcing me to look into her beautiful eyes. My heart melted instantly under her touch.“Ray?” she whispered again.I sighed, unable to hold it in anymore. “Why? Why did you stop me from stepping in?” I asked quietly.Was that really part of her plan? She knew things wo
