Chapter 1. Seeing the diamond ring
In L.H. Group, Lerisa Jonah stood up from her executive secretary seat as she was through with her office work for the day. She works as Anthony Gregson's secretary, so she stepped out of her office seat and picked up her black handbag that was on her office desk as she was already going home. She's a fair-complexioned young lady, 24 years old, and she was wearing a yellow shirt, a black pencil skirt, and black shoes. She wondered why she hadn't seen Anthony stepping out of his office. She knew that Anthony usually closes by 5 p.m. and leaves the company before 6 p.m., which was the company's normal closing hour. She made her way toward Anthony's office door to find out what was still delaying her boss. As the time was already after 6 p.m. and most of the staff were already going home,. Approaching Anthony's office door, she knocked, and she heard him respond, “Come in.” She pushed Anthony's office door slightly open, and she stepped into his office and saw him seated on his exec

Chapter 2. His worries
Anthony ignored responding to Mark, as he didn't even avert his gaze nor bait an eye to stare at Mark Terry for a second, who had stepped into his office to see him, as his gaze was strictly on Lerisa, whom he was staring at with concern. Lerisa felt embarrassed after seeing Mark apologize to Anthony, and he exited Anthony's office immediately by shutting the door. Mark already knew that Lerisa had a crush on Anthony, which was the reason she rejected his love proposal. He shook his head in denial after seeing Anthony holding Lerisa closely by her arms, confirming to him that they were secret lovers but pretending in front of the other staff like they were siblings. “Lerisa..." Anthony called out Lerisa's name again, making her shudder in his hold and snap out of her trance, as he was still holding her arms closely. Anthony knew that Lerisa was not in any relationship, so he wondered what had made her look sad and if someone had broken her heart or was troubling her. "What's wron

Chapter 3. Her desperation
Lerisa walked into the living room of her family mansion and met her mother standing beside the dining room and arranging the dining chairs. Her elder brother and younger sister weren't around, as they were still in school. "Good evening, Mom," Lerisa greeted her mother but didn't stop in the living room as she walked towards the corridor that led to all the rooms in the big house. Mrs. Antonia wondered what happened to her first daughter as she saw how Lerisa's face looked pretty red. She immediately called Lerisa back. "Come here, Lerisa! What happened in the office today? Why does your face look so red?" Lerisa stopped and replied, "Nothing, Mom, I'm fine." Mrs. Antonia sighed and dismissed Lerisa. "That's alright; do quickly and come join your father and me for dinner.” “Okay, Mom,” Lerisa replied, darting into the corridor as she went to her room to take her bath. She stepped into her room and shut the door. She cried and leaned into the door for support as she strode to

Chapter 4. Thinking about the past
Anthony continued to think about why Lerisa wasn't happy, as he didn't have any siblings and had grown up seeing Lerisa as a sibling to him. He sighed and focused his gaze on the road, driving home. Soon, he arrived home and drove into the garage before getting out of his car and walking up to their duplex mansion. “Good evening, Mom and Dad,” Anthony greeted his parents as he stepped into the living room and saw his parents sitting in the dining room. His mother smiled and replied first, “Welcome home, Anthony. How was work today?” “Fine, mother,” Anthony walked up toward the living room stairs to retire to his bedroom. However, his mother spoke to him, “Wait, Anthony, won't you join us for dinner before retiring to your bedroom?” Anthony paused, stared back at his mother, and replied, “Okay, mom. How's the birthday preparation going? We will celebrate it here tomorrow in the event hall.” Anthony walked to the dining room to join his parents. He pulled a seat out before sittin

Chapter 5. Getting his call
Lerisa was done having dinner with her parents in the dining room. None of her siblings were at home, so she stood up, locked the house entrance door, and finally returned to her bedroom to sleep. She went into her bedroom, picked up her phone, and saw that the time was after 10 p.m. Furthermore, she was surprised to see many missed calls from Anthony too, and she wasted no time, immediately calling Anthony back to know why he had called her. The phone call connected, and she spoke first: “Hello, Anthony.” Anthony was still standing in his bedroom, preparing to step out to have dinner with his parents before retiring back to his bedroom to sleep. He saw his phone ringing, took it, and saw that Lerisa was the one calling him. He picked up her call and asked her, “Hey, Lerisa. I was calling you before to know if you have gotten home safely and if you're alright now.” "Yeah, I'm fine now. Thanks for calling me to check," replied Lerisa. She knew that Anthony cared for her like an ol

Chapter 6. Farewell and queries
Anthony finally stared back at Lerisa's face, and he said to her, "I have to go home now. I hope that you're truly feeling fine now." Anthony drank from the bottled water in his hands again, looking directly at Lerisa's face. She replied, "Yes, I'm fine. See you later in the evening." Lerisa's pretty, fair-in-complexion face turned sad again as she remembered that Anthony would definitely propose to Clara in the evening. Since Anthony and Clara have been dating for three years or more,. Anthony noticed the change in Lerisa's mood due to how her face automatically turned red. He immediately asked her, "What's wrong with you again?" Lerisa snapped out of her trance and replied, "Nothing, I'm fine." "Hmm, you keep lying to me that you're fine when you are not fine... Tell me the truth, Lerisa. What's bothering you? You can share whatever the problem is with me. You know that I care about you, and I know that you don't have any other friends aside from me," said Anthony. "You don't

Chapter 7. Meeting Anthony's dad
Ben chuckled out first over the phone call, as he knew he had been asking Lerisa out, yet she didn't want to accept him. She was the first lady who had ever rejected his attempts to date her. He was determined to have her by all means, whether she liked him or not. He believed that, with time, she would fall in love with him too. "Does it matter how I got your number? The truth is that I want to hear your voice. "I've been searching for your mobile number since and finally got it from somewhere." "Where?" Lerisa asked Ben, frowning and not wanting to have anything to do with Ben. She knew that Ben was also from a rich family, not the first son, but he owned a hotel and was doing well at his age, despite being the same age as Anthony. "Why are you calling me?" Lerisa inquired. "Chill, babe. Why are you sounding so pissed off? Yesterday, upon observing how depressed you appeared, I became extremely concerned for your well-being. I couldn't sleep well last night, which is why I am cal

Chapter 8. Catching Anthony's girlfriend.
Lerisa sighed as she knew that she couldn't miss Anthony's birthday party. She had been there with him since he used to celebrate his seventh birthday party, and until now he has become an adult. Lerisa knew that if she avoided attending Anthony's birthday party, it might seem as though she was jealous or holding a grudge against him, and her parents would frown at her. Fixing her gaze on the road, Lerisa drove her car out of the street and wanted to take another street turn before driving out onto the main road. But just then, she saw a lady and a man kissing each other in front of a black car parked on the street. Lerisa wondered who the shameless young lady and the man were, kissing in public rather than finding a private place. She knew that mostly rich families lived around the estate, as most houses were individually owned and some were mostly occupied by the real house owners together with their family members instead of tenants. But as she drove her car ahead to exit the st

Chapter 9. The turmoil
Clara knew she had lied to Remy about her name as April. That was one of her habits of lying to men about her real name, since she wasn't interested in them and only wanted to have sex with them. She walked back into her house gate, as she lived there alone, and returned to her room in the rented apartment. Meanwhile, Lerisa drove to the shopping complex where she wanted to purchase clothes, parked her car, and sighed in relief. She remembered how Clara had denied knowing her. Lerisa thought to call Anthony again on the phone. But she didn't know how she would explain to him that she saw his girlfriend cheating on him. She switched off her car engine and finally stepped out of her car before locking her car door and walking up to the shopping boutique where she wanted to select a gown. Lerisa stepped into one of the feminine boutiques, and the sales representative there attended to her. "Good afternoon, ma'am. What kind of clothes do you want to buy? We have gowns, skirts, blouses,

Chapter 10. Birthday preparation
Lerisa met with her parents in their living room and greeted them, "Good afternoon, Mom, Dad." "Welcome home, Lerisa. Your father and I forgot to purchase birthday gifts that we will give to Anthony today. How about you? Did you purchase anything when you were coming home?" Mrs. Antonia asked, and Lerisa replied, "No, mom. I forgot too." Lerisa stared at the living room wall clock and saw that it was already 2 p.m. Her father said, "There's still time, Lerisa. Why not go outside now with your sister to the shops nearby and purchase what we will give to the Gregson family? As you know, we cannot go there empty-handed to attend Anthony's birthday, since he is their only son." "Hmm, you're right, father. But what do I buy for Anthony? As they're rich, and last year we had already given him a standing fan... And I don't know what to buy for him this year again," Lerisa said with a frown, as they had bought a lot of gifts for Anthony before, and she didn't know what she would give him r
