Chapter 92Vera drove on silently, the traffic was not as terrible as she had expected, which she was glad about. It meant she would get home faster.She noticed the red Audi that had tailed her since she left her mother's.She had not thought anything of it at first, but it was slowly becoming suspicious, the car had been one car behind her for the whole ride since her mother's.Not wanting to raise a fake alarm by calling anyone, she decided to be certain he was taking a wrong turn, just to make sure.Her heart was beating fast in her chest just by the thought of the possibility of it, questions coursed through her mind.There was no logical reason she could think of that someone would want to be after her.The only competition she had had for a long time now was the Anderson and presently that Steve Anderson was dead there had not been much threat it drama.So whoever it was must be after her first for an entire other reason, that is if they were even after her, it could just be he

Chapter 94Hermes sat at his desk fuming, he half hated Ivan for what he did but hated Artemis even more for causing this in the first place.A part of him felt like she was also doing all this to spite him after he had told her about his feelings.It hurt him even more that he still loved her, even after all he just heard from Ivan, after all she had done, he still wanted her.To say he was just hurt was an understatement, he had left Ivan's office wounded in the deepest part of his heart.He had promised himself to leave her alone, to do his thing and forget about everything he felt for her, but hearing everything with Ivan had made every feeling resurface.She had not even considered him, she did not even want to give him a chance, she just made her choice and that choice was not him.Hating Ivan was not necessary, but he could not help himself, Ivan was perfect, any woman would want him, and he could have any one of them.But his Artemis had chosen him, it would have made sense if

Chapter 96“Are you good?” Ivan asked as they rode on, she had been hushed and he wondered what was running through her mind.“Yeah, just a little shaken, that's all,” Vera said, glancing at him before turning her attention back to the road.“We'll be home soon, and you will get to rest,” Ivan said, assuring her.“Okay,” Vera said her attention still on the road.“I'm so sorry you had to go through that Vera.” Ivan apologized.“It was not your fault Ivan, do you think we should involve the police in this?” She asked.“I will take care of it, don't you worry,” Ivan said, taking his eyes off the road for a minute.“Okay, if you say so,” Vera said.The remaining five-minute drive to his place was filled with silence and occasional glances from Ivan to Vera Vera gasped a little when they drove into a mansion, it was painted all white with a fountain at the front.She knew she had paid him handsomely from the contract, but that was not enough money to raise a mansion like this.It was so

“Who are you” Vera asked in astonishment “ I am me Vera” Ivan replied with a chuckle, he knew that Vera would never be ready to know the answer to that question.“I know I gave you a giant sum for the contract, but I also know that that money is nowhere enough to do all this in so short a period,” Vera said, sitting upright.“The money from the contract went straight to charity Vera, this…” Ivan said, gesturing with a wave of his hand," It is all me.” He answered with a grin.“Who are you?” Vera asked again.Ivan put off the stove, took the popcorn down, and walked dramatically to the island where she sat and stared at her for a while.“Take a guess.” He said leaning on it.“At this point, I don't even know what to guess.” She said honestly. Her mind reeled with the possibilities of who he could be.“Hi Vera, my name is Ivan Dan Hugo, CEO of Hugo incorporated,” Ivan said, stretching forth his hand for a handshake.Vera stared with wide eyes and mouth, there was no way that this man,

It had been a week and some days, approximately two weeks, since the incident with the red Audi.Vera had been more aware and conscious of her surroundings since the event and yes, she had been at Ivan's mansion the whole two weeks.She loved it here, coupled with the fact that he treated her like a queen who was passing time at his abode, she dreaded when the time to leave would come.He had volunteered to bring her to work and fetch her after closing hours, just to be certain she was safe. Vera never made the mistake of leaving her office building until closing hours when Ivan came for her.Occasionally she felt it was too much for him and that she was a little scared of the probability that she was disturbing him and his schedule or maybe invading his personal space.Nothing about the way Ivan acted or spoke to her gave her the impression of these things, but she knew the thought of it was a possibility.She has been her happiest and calmest this past week, her most well-fed self b
