Mark stared at Laura with a grimace and enjoyed the way his grandmother made her uncomfortable with her stare."Grandmother, good morning," Laura said."What's good about the morning? Nothing is good, you know? You're sleeping when it's past 10 am, isn't that wrong? You ought to be in your office tending to some works kept for you!" Ma'am Miguel said."I came back late last night and I was stressed. It took a toll on me and that's why I woke up late. Pardon my manners.""You don't deserve pardon after what you've done," Mark said and Laura eyed him. "What I've I done? Nothing,right, grandmother?" Laura asked ma'am Miguel."What the hell are you doing here, Laura? Why did you leave the Anderson villa? Has your mission been completed?" Ma'am Miguel asked. Laura didn't utter a word. "You better start talking, Laura. I'm running out of patience, you know.""I'm sorry, grandmother," Laura said."You foolish girl. You wasted over a week there and you did nothing but flaunt in the Green Hil

Feran didn't know what to say to break the awkward silence that had burst forth. He could clearly see the surprise in Jeana's face. He allowed her to reason what he asked and though he was beginning to feel impatient, he still didn't utter a word till she finally spoke out."Marriage? With you?""It's not really going to be a real marriage. Nothing will happen between us. We'll just sign a contract. It will be stated there that the marriage will only be for nine months. After that, you are free.""Free? Will I be caged to you or …""You just have to pretend to be my wife. After that, we're done. And in return, I'll do whatever you want." Feran took out the contract document and placed it on the table. "You can think about it." He arose and took out a card and placed it on the document. "I'll be expecting your reply in a few days' time. And if you want to meet me, you can meet me at the address on the card."Feran left, leaving Jeana who was musing. He got out and entered the car then

The smirk on Laura's face disappeared and she put on a serious look to answer her mother's question. "I'm simply going there for something important. You really don't need to know. And, I would like to go and change. Excuse me." She spun and headed to her bathroom. Mitchel left, mumbling to herself. When Laura stepped into the living room, ma'am Miguel darted her eyes to her with her parents and Frank sister. She walked up to her grandmother and forced a smile. "I hope you've got a good reason for following us to the party?" Ma'am Miguel asked her, in a whisper. Laura glanced at her mother whom she suspected must have told a few things to her grandmother regarding her intentions. "Grandmother, I'm going to right my wrongs. The main reason I'm attending the party is to be able to carry out my mission which was impossible the last time we attended the Anderson's party because of the shock we had getting to know who Feran was. I'm going to the party to try to mingle with some social

The next day, Feran went to the company with Jeana and he introduced her to the workers in the company. Like he said, she was given a position in the management department. Everyone was happy to know that Jeana would be working in the company and they promised to support her in any way she wanted. A week later, Laura was heading out of the company building with a long face when a man walked up to her. "Excuse me, Ms, good evening." "Yes? How may I help you?" Laura asked with a frown. "Someone wants to see you, Ms," the man said and glanced at something behind him. "Who is that?" Laura asked. The man motioned at the car parked in front of the building and Laura glanced at it. "It's the man inside the car waiting for you." "Did I know him?" "He's likely a friend of yours," the man said and headed to the car. Laura followed him reluctantly. She got to the car and knocked slightly at the back seat window. The window was winded down and her lips parted when she saw the guy who ha

Everyone was surprised by what ma'am Miguel said. They remembered her telling them on fateful day that Feran was only still standing high and making way because his grandfather had his back. She had told them that he was a nobody and he would let them be if he loses his grandfather who was his mentor and biggest support someday and they all believed her. But now they regret it.Laura was the most shocked person in the family. She believed she had underestimated Feran too and for the third time. She felt like a big fool because she ought to have known best."Now look what that rotten bastard has done," Mark groaned. His girlfriend whom he has recently engaged, making her his fiancee, attempted to cool him down by touching him but he flinched. "We've lost our potential clients!""I thought he would stop coming after us? Now he has pulled a string to ruin our entire family. This is bad for us," Clara said"You all better not step on my toes by crying, whining and groaning like dogs! I'm
