During Monica's caged life in her family, this firm decision by her father would have silenced her vision. However, at this point, she was capable of making her own decision. To her, the right thing was at least ensuring that Sly had received his inheritance. Witnessing how hard he worked, she wasn't going to sit back to watch him lose it all. For the first time, she meandered through her father's fury and firm resolve. She has never felt this confident in her decision and her heart did not waver. "I am not a child dad. I have the right to make my own decisions. I will stay married to Sly until he gets his inheritance and that is final." Her utterance did not only surprise the parties involved but also created an uncomfortable suspicion which Kyle couldn't help but speak bluntly about."Monica, are you in love with him?" He grimaced with disgust and Monica's courage almost weakened. However, her voice was still firm."Yes but I know he doesn't lov

Monica studied Sly's features under the dimly lit luxurious bedroom. After she was certain that Sly wasn't joking, she spoke. "I can't sleep here. I have to go to my room."Sly sighed. He understood Monica's worry but he also had a point. "There are a dozen maids in this house. How do you prove to them that we are married? Your husband returned after two and half months and you are both sleeping in separate rooms? Even a kid would start getting suspicious. It's only sleep okay? Nothing more."Monica facepalmed in embarrassment. "Let me go shower and change into something comfortable," she said, as she tried to hide her embarrassment."Use my bathroom and wear any of my shirts. It's long enough to cover your thighs," Sly immediately said. He seemed to have everything figured out.Without another word, she went to shower and slipped on one of Sly's t-shirts. Of course, it carried his comforting fragrance. Monica crept into the bed gently, thinking S

ClickClickClickThat was the stuttering sound of Alisha's camera. "Oh my God, Monica. I should use your picture for the front cover of my fashion magazine," Alisha yelped with excitement when she continuously captured Monica's image on camera. She had spent her whole day with Monica and now, it was time for her to prepare the latter for the event.Monica giggled at her remark, a surge of excitement bubbling in her stomach. "I don't mind, as long as Sly agrees." "Of course, I'm going to beg him to allow me to use these pictures," Alisha cried out, taking more pictures of Monica. "Trust me, any man who sees you tonight is gonna die for you not being their date," Alisha continued to compliment.Monica reddened in embarrassment. "Come on Alisha, stop exaggerating," she muttered shyly."I am not exaggerating. Just wait till you Sly sees you. He's gonna rip off your clothes and cancel this damn event. It might just be a second honey

"Do you know him?"Sly asked Monica when the latter seemed speechless. It was rhetorical anyway. What Sly wanted to know was the effect the man had on Monica to get such a reaction from her."Monica Del, it's wonderful to see you tonight. I almost didn't recognize you," the man said, indirectly answering Sly's question. Sly face darkened, his eyes cold. He felt a twitch in his heart at the way the man spoke. There was a ray of confidence and pride, in contrast to Monica's expressionless face."Oh, I didn't expect you to recognize me, Mr. White. After all, I am just a piece of trash, who would only succeed in warming other men's beds," Monica said coldly.The man's face turned chagrin but he quickly composed himself. "You misunderstood, Monica, but that was in the past. You are nothing like the timid girl who entered my office and froze at the spot. You are so different now and you are even Mrs. Norman. I must say that your progress is rather quick and unexpected

James clutched his phone tight. A line of frown creeping to his features. His heart sunk at the sound of Monica's voice at the end of the call. This was totally unexpected and he hadn't the slightest clue as to what to do."Monica?" His voice was low with concern. 'Did Sly do anything to her? Why is she calling me? If Sly gave her my number, then it's fine."James, I got your number from your secretary." James' face drained of color. It would have been okay if Sly was aware but this showed that Sly wasn't aware. He instantly had a bad feeling about this."James, I just need to talk to you. It's about Sly." James felt that something must have happened to Sly."What happened to Sly? Is he alright?""Yes, he is fine. Can I meet up with you somewhere? Please don't tell Sly." James was stupefied. What if this was a setup? However, he knew that Sly wasn't such a person and Monica didn't seem like that either. He personally investigated Monic
