Raven's Pov.It's been 8 years; I am 28 and married, but still have no children at all. Axel has been very busy with business, and he told me to just use contraceptives so a baby wouldn't be possible.I really love to have a kid coz that was an enjoyment and I believed that having a child is the real essence of being a woman? But how would I do that? Axel don't consider the idea of having a child for now and there is no certein te when he will be available for it. I am working at his company as his personal secretary. We are living with his parents under one roof, and that is so suffocating. I don't have the freedom to serve him and act as his wife. His mom always does things first that I should be doing. I found myself useless in this house, and I really can't imagine why I can bear all these things. Just like now..."Raven, can you tell your friends to stop calling in the middle of the night? That was so irritating, and mind you, you are my son's wife, and you should act like one.

Raven's povAfter a failed meeting, I'm finally home. It's been 1 in the afternoon, and I know that Axel is not yet home.I sat on the couch and thought of something to say about the meeting. I know this is not going to be good news for him, but I can't do anything to change it."Where have you been?" I was shocked when I heard Axel's voice getting into the house. Obviously, he came home to hear news about the meeting he was supposed to attend."I have been to Dream High. Neri and I also had lunch together, so I came home late." I started..He looked convinced. He sat on the couch as he loosened his tie."So, what's the good news? Have you convinced the CEO to make investments with us?" He asked, looking at me, waiting for a possible good answer.I took a deep breath as I faced him."The meeting had been moved to next week. According to the CEO's secretary, he had an emergency for a week, so he can't make it this week." I replied, and I was expecting him to get mad.He just closed hi

Raven's pov..It was Saturday morning, and we had breakfast as a whole family. I mean, with Axel's parents, Carla and Luis Hayes.We just had everyone together during weekends because it's a day off. We are not busy with our respective jobs.Axel's dad had been busy with business trips to make business deals, so he seldom came home."How are you here?" He asked, looking at me and Axel.He knew that for the past years we had a not so good relationship."We are doing good, dad. We are trying to settle things between us," Axel replied."Good.. I just thought, how about if you just make a baby? I mean, you need to have it, because you are not getting any younger. Raven is 28 and you, Axel, are turning 30 next month, so—you both are in your right age.." Luis said, and I felt happy with it. All of a sudden, I felt like I had someone who could help me convince Axel about having a baby."Dad! It's not in my mind, okay? I am busy with business, and Raven is busy too. One more thing, TEMPO is u

Raven's pov.I know it's not too late. Days just passed, but still, I can't just forget about what Mom Carla told me.I have the right to know because I'm involved with this and my family as well. I don't understand why Axel was obliged to give my mom a hundred thousand a month! Seriously?I saw her standing at the poolside while having coffee. I get near him as I offer something."Toasted bread with butter?It's good with your coffee." I said.. he looked at me with a smile.. he got near me, so I put the tray of toasted bread on the table.I can see a good vibe in his face, so maybe I just came at the right time."Are you going somewhere?" He asked..It's Saturday morning, and he was expecting me to see my friends. I appreciate him for that, because he never made me feel like I had to stay home during weekends. Still, he cares about my social life, and I really admire him for that."Maybe after lunch.. ahmm—can I ask you something? I mean, it's beyond the business or anything regardin

Zeb's pov.I started the game, but I was the one who got irritated with what we talked about inside the car. I know Hattie noticed irritation in me, but I don't mind.I just let Hattie go home first, so in the car now, it was only me and Raven. The car was silent the whole time.When my phone suddenly rang, it was Hattie. I picked up the phone and I saw how Raven looked at me."Yes, babe?" I said while I was on the phone."Babe, I'm ready. I mean, the food is ready. Are you going home?" Hattie asked on the other line."Okay, babe, I'm on my way. I will just take Mrs. Hayes home, then I'll see you." I said, and I put down the phone."Sir, it's okay if you will just drop me off on the side of the road. I will just get a car so I can go home." Raven said.. I have seen sincerity in her face."No, I will take you home. I don't want Axel to think that people at Dream High are careless." I replied.."I don't think Axel will think that way. One more thing, he's not home now.. so it's fine if
