He sits on his seat crossing his hands against his chest, staring at her with such disbelief. He can't hold it any longer and he is forced to confess. "I never believed a girl your age and under the same condition would be this mature!" He remarks. Still the surprise in him for Raine wouldn't let him shift his body. He remains the same way he was. Raine only smiles at him. He remains the same position until he is able to recover, coming back to his active senses. "Wow! Wow! I've gat what you need in a relationship." He says with pride, not the negative type thought but simply implying all the confidence he has in him. He believes he can do pass what Raine wants and would actually do them as they begin their relationship. "I would love to ask you the same question, what are those things you prefer most in a relationship?" Sinde it's Raine's turn, she asks. "As you know, I need respect, loyalty and patience. Now the third is just like the money you were talking about, I don't nee
The day came when Scarlett was going to be thrown out of their apartment, they had bought it for a period of five years unluckily for them, the five years came to an end at the time that Eric got wealthy and took revenge against her. Being left with nothing aside from her clothings, shoes, certifications and household items, with those properties of her mom, she hires a truck and packs out leaving the building for the landlord to settle it with another person. News of them reaches Hollywood, spreading across the newspapers. The senior staff came together to discuss how to help both of them even though they were no longer with them. They still wanna lend a helping hand as ex-colleagues. Since nothing can be done in the industry without notification of Eric, they pass the message across to him. On hearing that they once worked in Hollywood and contributed immensely to the growth of the company, he has pity towards them and proceedings to help them back to their former position whe
Prior to the date, Eric had in mind to ask Raine out but challenges came alongside and he just couldn't. His father was in his presence and he couldn't ask a girl out in the presence of his father. Whatever he wants to do, he wants it to be between him and Raine. Love making in this aspect, or love showing to be precise is sweetest when done in private. He took Raine and his dad home in his Limo, Carlos spent a night in his estate to celebrate the visit and went back in the morning. While with them, Raine tried her best to be the most perfect person. She knew what Raine's intention was and what his father would be expecting, so she kept everything to the best of her ability. They slept in separate rooms for the night, Raine in the adjoining room with Mako, he was already asleep by the time she arrived so there was no need to wake him up. Eric didn't want this initially, he wanted both him and Raine to share the same bed. "Look, this can't happen!" She said in a funny style. This wa
"Good morning, my lord." They chorus, their faces with expressions of tension. Gradually they start to keep clear faces, Eric's gang to be specific, they know they aren't at fault but Scarlett who brought the case to court with her mother and boyfriend hold grave faces. Eric laughs at them inside him. "They wanted to sue me in court, she in particular, soon they would be getting what they want." He says to himself, out of the hearing of everyone. "I'm here to hear the case between Eric and Scarlett, acclaimed ex-husband and wife. If this case has merit, it would be continued in court this week and if it doesn't, would be struck out." "Ok ma'am." Eric manages to reply as the judge looks intensely at him. Now he remembers what her registrar told them, had he forgotten any law because he still remembers him telling him not to speak when not asked to. Mary's approving nod gives him the knowledge that it isn't bad what he just said. "Please feel very free with me, I don't want fear amo
***Three days later***After many hours of journeying on flight, Eric finally arrives with his family including Raine at the reserved plane terminal in London. He had also booked a few company drivers who would be taking him and any of his cliche out should they want to visit places. He brought three of his cars with him, including the black Limousine which were carried in the plane. As they touch down on the terminal, Eric books a lounge where he, his dad, Raine and Mako would stay throughout the day. This is where they would eat, rest, if possible sleep and from here, they would go for the shopping. The village is too far for them to go out frequently for any small thing they need even if they have cars. Eric orders the most expensive dishes for the entire family, he makes sure that Raine and Mako most especially are in great comfort and he is very certain that his mother would treat her well. "Please remember to parade yourself as my girlfriend, if she asks you how we met, you w
"I'm only your pretend girlfriend, your fake girlfriend. There is nothing like us being lovers for now." "What do you mean?" He puts up a slight frown on his face. This is another trait of Raine to be revealed to him, he thought that because of what he said to her, she would be easily manipulated but she isn't. She smiles. "I want to let you know that you haven't asked me out, I'm not trying to ask you to ask me now but we are only in pretence." Her tone follows such a polite and amused tone that Eric doesn't even realize she is saying a very vital fact in disguise. Though to him, he seems like she is joking, he takes it seriously. This makes him take a moment to reflect on himself and his omission. "I know it wouldn't be right for us to go that way too fast!" "Yeah, I know." Raine snaps. "I was just saying you were joking with saying I was your real girlfriend. That aside, let's say something important." He smiles. "You are so lovely, no matter how long it takes for us to becom
The massive settlement of Jane and her family is situated at the western part of the large village, the fences existing for almost three decades but are still strong as ever. Eric and his company are able to view the exterior of the compound through the aid of the street light which illuminates the dark street. No one is seen in sight, it has been gathered by them that once it's 6 PM to 7 PM, everyone takes their place inside their various homes, even if they aren't feeling sleepy, they watch TV or do any other thing till it was time they wished to go to bed. The reason for this is not because the environment is not secured but since it's a village setting, the houses making up the village are detached from each other, not like in cities you can see and have conversation with your neighbors late into the night. "We have arrived at her compound, this it it!" Eric finally notified Raine. "Mako, this is your grandma's home, hope to would be excited to see her?" "Oh my God! I would be
The embrace lasts for many minutes soon after which Raine and Carlos join, Mako with his tiny stature isn't exempted as he holds their legs tight, tears emerges from Eric and Jane's eyes, the sane tears as they had cried on the day of their separation from each other many years ago. The nature varies though, then they were tears of pain and sorrows, but now tears of joy. After many years, mother and son have been reunited. Even if Eric goes back to America, he can always come here, he has his private jet and about four branches of his company in London. The hours of travel are nothing as long as he can work on board with his android and system using the 5G network which is quite usable onboard. He would be feeling like in his home, with all the facilities needed on board, luxurious seats, bedroom, dining room, toilet and bathroom including the gym among many other rooms. "Come inside the house, we have lots of convenient rooms for you to spend the night in. Hope you would stay long
