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
After having breakfast, the Anderson family were all seated in the living room, engaging in different mini activities as they usually do on weekends."Hello, everyone." They heard Feran's voice and all arose, their eyes growing a little bit wider as they saw him walk in,arms locked with a woman."Did you all miss me?" Feran asked and smiled."Welcome home, son," Sir Leo said and Feran nodded. He stared at everyone for a few seconds to study their expression before clearing his throat to talk."Everyone this is Jeana. Sanchez. But she's now Jeana Anderson," Feran introduced,still smiling."Feran, what do you mean?" Zita asked, befuddled."We really don't understand what you just said," Greg added."Jeana here is my new wife," Feran said and watched as their lips parted in astonishment."What? You got a wife, bro?" Lovisa asked."Yeah, and we are married," Feran answered. He nudged Jeana who seemed a bit lost with his finger and she dropped her gaze on the family after staring at the in
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
"So…how are you going to make them pay?" Jeana asked. Feran shrugged. "Just when the time is right for me to strike," Feran muttered. "Excuse me." Feran stood up and walked to some people at a table who beckoned at them. Jeana's phone rang and she left Anna and Lovisa and went out to answer the call. Laura saw her walk away and rolled her eyes to her mother. It was Jeana's sister, Kayla calling. She answered the call when she stepped out of the hall. "Hello, Jeana, what's up?" Kayla asked, excitedly. "I'm good. How are you doing? How about Racquel?" She asked,a bit worried. "She has gone to bed. Quite early, right?" "Yeah. It's just past 8pm if I'm not mistaken, and she's asleep? Still good though." "I'm watching TV right now. So the Anderson threw a party to celebrate you, their new daughter-in-law?" "Yeah." "Wow, that's so good. I've glued my eyes to the TV now and I can't wait till you're introduced to every special person there as Jeana Anderson, the Anderson family's da
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
Feran was speechless for a while until he regained his voice and pointed at Elijah."What the hell did you say? Seventy billion dollars?! My brother, Vicentzo owe you that?""You're right. I've patiently waited and kept my cool but not anymore. I need my brother. I'm sure he's in hell now but I know I can still retrieve the debt he owes me from you.""Elijah, you're damn crazy," Feran said, causing Elijah to sit up. "In no damn world could Vicentzo owe you that much.""Well he did in this damn world.""How…?""We made a bet…""He probably lost and you want to swindle the seventy billion from me?!""No. I'm not going to do anything illegal. I've got some papers. In the papers you'd see your brother's signature. I gave him a hundred billion dollars for investment. He said he'd make me get double of what I invested. Then he told me one day that he had lost the money in a gamble. That he had no intention of making me invest in your family business, but rather he wanted to try his luck aga
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
Laura was very happy that her grandmother believed in her. She was more confident than ever to prove her worth to her. When she left her grandmother's room, she was informed that her parents had gone home. She got out of the house and called Elijah."Elijah, I want you to do something.""What do you want? I already talked to Feran.""Make a post," Laura sneered. "A demeaning post about the Andersons. Feran's qualities should be questioned in the post too. Make it as soon as possible.""Okay. I got you.""Good," Laura muttered and ended the call. She got into her car and drove off. The following day,she was driving to the company when she got a message from Elijah. She pulled over to the side of the road and read the message. A smile appeared on her face when she was done reading the message and she headed to Feran's company instead.Feran stepped out of his car that morning with Jeana when the driver pulled up in front of the company. They were about to head into the building when Fe
