After sprinkling water on Raymond's face for more than two minutes and still, there was no sign of life, Julia decided to call the paramedics.

Perceiving her next move, Raymond suddenly sat up, rubbing his nape as he looked around pretending not to know what happened.

"Are you alright?" She asked, peering closely at him.

"Yeah. What happened?" He muttered, trying to rise but she held him down, only to wrap her hand around his waist and then lead him to his room.

She made him comfortable on his bed before exiting only to return a few minutes later with his dinner on the tray.

"Please eat up so you can regain your strength quickly." She said as she set the tray beside him on the bed.

After having dinner, he pretended to fall asleep, making Julia leave with the tray.

Left alone in his room, Raymond sat up. Grabbing his head with both hands, he sat up on his bed.

"Why must I meet villains on the way?" he muttered, climbing down from his bed.

That night, he couldn't get a

    For the next two days, Raymond refused to open his eyes, heightening the fears of his friends and his wife. Only the doctor in charge of him was unmoved. He tried to explain to them that he would recuperate and that he was just regaining his lost energy but they wouldn't listen. "I'm going to go to Dexx tomorrow to confront that damn CEO. Who does he think he is to put Raymond under some unnecessary stress?" She snapped, fist-pumping the air. Even in their sober state, Niko and Adam couldn't help but chuckle at her funny demonstration. "Are you sure it's his boss that's behind this?" Niko asked, covering up for his laughter and to keep the conversation going. "Of course. For weeks now, he has returned late and tired from traveling via air in the intervals of two days. My husband is just an HR assistant and not his personal assistant. I'm going to make that clear to him when I arrive at the company tomorrow." She scoffed. "What makes you think he will give you an audience?"

He was determined to make his family and Julia's family pay for hurting him. Suddenly, Niko pulled up in front of Julia's school. He was about to ask what was going on when she took his rough hand in hers. "Please, refrain from working while I'm away. I have a test by ten a.m." She said "Oh, okay. Good luck." He said, relieved that he would be able to pour out his heart to his friend the moment he got home. "Please, you guys should monitor him. I will be back before noon." She rapped, turning to face Niko and Adam who were staring at the couples. "No problem," Niko replied while Adam, who had been staring at his watch said, "You have ten minutes left. You got to start going so you won't be late."

    Raymond woke up with a large scowl on his face that morning. "Day three." He muttered, wiping his sweaty brow with the tip of his fingers. Despite the cool room, he was sweating profusely. Since Xavier had given him a week's rest, Julia had decided to turn him into a child she would dote on. She was all over him just like a mother hen with newly hatched chicks. Raymond hated this attitude. He had tried to tell her off severally but she would pretend as if she wasn't hearing. He had no choice but to bear the brunt of everything as he waited for Monday so he would resume work and would be free. After his morning routine, he made his way to the kitchen to assist in making breakfast but immediately Julia sighted him, she led him to the dining room. "Breakfast will be ready before you know it." She said with a bright smile. Sighing, he buried his head in anguish. It was another morning to stuff his belly with excess food. A few minutes later, she arrived with a steamy plate

    "What happened to your tongue?" Julia asked, still waving the receipts in his face. "It's not what you think. I don't even have the money to buy an engine not to talk of freezer and washing machine." He said in self-defense. "So why is your name appearing as the customer or do you want to say it's wrong?" "I can explain." Crossing her hand across her chest, she said, "Go on," "I told Niko about your frequent trips to the laundry so he decided to get a washing machine for you. You see, it's a gift." He said, flashing a smile at her which she refused to buy. She remained in her position, glaring at him as if he was from another planet. "Come on," he groaned. To make her believe him, he decided to invite Niko over after giving him a rundown of everything that had ensued between them. That morning, after cleaning up, he joined her at the table for breakfast. "Eat up." She said placing his plate in front of him. "Want to go to Zeline?" He asked, trying to start up a co

    While Raymond was working, his phone beeped in his pocket but he didn't bother to check the message until he had finished working. "Thank you," Mayor said, looking closely at him to see if he was stressed out. "If I were you, I wouldn't do that," Raymond smirked. He had caught him staring. "But…" "I'm fine, okay. Stop acting like a mother hen trying to protect her chicks." He scoffed and then stormed to his table. It was when he decided to take a cat nap that he suddenly remembered the message he received while he was working. Smirking, he brought the phone from his pocket. "I know." He muttered after reading the content of the message. The message was from Xavier, reminding him of their meeting by noon that day. Meanwhile, Xavier had been making inquiries about Raymond from his PA since the day began. He wanted to be certain that he was in the company. Jaime had just returned from one of the errands and was standing behind the mahogany table, watching Xavier who w

    "Do I look like a child?" Xavier asked with a large scowl hoping it would put fear inside of Raymond and then he would confess. "I never said that. I was just clearing the air. I don't want you to be thinking things." He said offhandedly, making Xavier more confused. He strongly believed Raymond was the same man on Dulo's magazine but his contradicting statement was messing with his resolve. "You are on a mission." He snapped. "Yes." Xavier recoiled at his words. Just as a little smile was creeping to his face, Raymond said, "A mission to save the falling company with you by our sides. A mission to save Dexx and place it in the spotlight which was stolen from us, a mission to…" "Raymond." Xavier snapped, sending his fists to the hard table. "Sir," he replied, wearing an innocent face whereas he was glad that he was getting Xavier more confused. His face told it all. "That's good. I hope all the staff can be like you." Xavier managed to say. "Thank you, sir. I will tr

    After work, Raymond returned home so tired that even when Julia was talking to him, he wasn't listening. Thinking it was because of her recent attitude, she grabbed his hands, causing him to stare at her with a shock-filled face. "I'm sorry, okay. I felt you were not sincere that's why I was acting that way toward you. I'm sorry." She rapped. The first thing that came to Raymond's mind was to laugh out loud but he had to contain himself by biting his lips. "What's it? Why are you biting your lips?" She asked, separating his teeth from his lips. "Nothing." He muttered, suppressing the laughter that was hurting his chest. "Come on, you are going to bruise your lips. Hold on, let me get dinner." She said before taking her leave. Immediately she left the living room completely, Raymond burst into laughter. He had to bury his head in the chair to stifle it. "What happened? I heard a loud noise." Julia said, running to his side. She had heard him when he initially began to l

    Raymond has just left the correctional center and all he could think of was his father's face. The look on his father's face kept replaying through Raymond's mind.

On leaving the prison, he called Adam and Niko to meet him at their favorite bar. He needed a drink to wipe the images flooding his head. The image of his father trying to kill him. The image of him swearing to do it again, everything was making him.go crazy. Several minutes later, Adam and Niko met him at the bar and they began taking shots."It's not enough that my wife almost died, I had to go be reminded of the shitty ass dad I have."

The moment Raymond heard Mrs. Brooks' voice, he froze against the chair he was occupying. His hands immediately became sweaty as he braced himself up to face her. Niko and Adam looked at him in pity. They knew the history between Raymond and Julia's parents even if it seems they had rectified their differences and they didn't want to interfere.Immediately Julia's parents entered the room, Raymond stood up from his seat while they looked at him with disdain before they bypassed him and went straight to Julia who was still unconscious but was now stable. "Can you see what you've done, you see. I warned Julia not to get involved with a despicable person like you but she was swoon by your charms to listen to me.

The noise coming from all corners made her so uncomfortable coupled with the pains she was facing. "What has Dina done to me, my head." She was still screaming when she felt Raymond's body against hers. Lifting her up, he held her tight and then placed her down on the floor."Listen to me Jul, nothing is going to happen to you, okay, I can't believe Dina would go this far.” He said, checking her pulse. Tearing his shirt, he began to press it against her wound. It didn't take long before the cloth became crimson red. "It hurts Raymond, it hurts." Julia screamed as tears continued streaming down her eyes as she lay helpless in Raymond's arms. He has never been in this kind of situation before and so, he was so confused."Please Julia wake up, you can't die on me please." Raymond whispered in her ears as tears brimmed in his ey

Without being told, she knew a lot of eyes were staring at them and because of this, she couldn't raise her head and look back at them. “If only Raymond had relieved her of her job when we asked him to, this wouldn't have happened.” She muttered, biting her lips in anger. “Hello sissy, I told you I'm going to get you out of the way so I can have Raymond to myself. You thought I was kidding? Damn! I wonder why a lot of people take me as a joke when I'm damn serious, Dina cringed, throwing her hands in the air.

While Raymond was using their hassle to keep himself from zoning out, at the same time, he was looking at the door as he awaited Julia's arrival. They had gone to get the perfect dress for the party scheduled to hold the next day at the shopping mall.“Bye.” He said the moment he saw Julia walking towards him with a broad smile on her lips. “How do I look?” She asked, swirling around for him to have a clear view. “Super.” He said, smacking his lips with a little smile. “You're sure.” She asked, raising her brow at him. “Of course. It's as if the tailor had you in mind when he was making the dress.” He said, accompanying it with a wink whilst she blushed shyly. After picking a few more things, the couple's retired home for the night. Raymond knew better not to tell her anything concerning Dina's plan.

Are you angry because I defeated you in our little game?” She yelled back at her, rolling her eyes to the back of her head. “That's not the point here.”“Then what is it? Speak now or forever remain silent.” She snapped, cutting a large chunk of her meat. “They are a couple, we shouldn't make things tough for them.” Laughing, Dina said, “Couples my foot.

We decided to play a game and I beat you to it.”“I know I lost but come to think of it, you are taking this thing too far.

Thanks to the spyware installed unknowingly to them on their phones.” He said, gritting his teeth and seething with anger at the same time. For the next few minutes only Niko and Julia talked. Raymond and Adam on the other hand are just watching as they listen to their conversation. “So who's the culprit now?” Adam asked with a firm voice, hitting the butt of his pen against the table. “Dina of course.” Niko replied and immediately Julia slumped on her seat, all the while she was thinking Dina was the innocent one.
