Meanwhile, Julia was fuming with anger on her part.

If she had known her family was going to do this to Raymond, she wouldn't have called him back.

Earlier that day, she was doing her school rounds when she got a message from Stella informing her that she was needed at home urgently.

Thinking it was something serious, she panicked for the rest of the day only to arrive at her family's mansion to see a merry air.

She was staring at everything in confusion when Stella walked up to her with a smile.

"You don't seem happy, is everything alright?" She had asked with her hand placed around her neck.

"What is going on?" Julia asked. She was still trying hard to figure out the drama her family was acting or was about to act.

"Nothing much. Can I have your phone?" She requested and without thinking, Julia gave it to her.

"Say something." She snapped as Stella slipped the phone into her purse.

"I will help you hold it until the party is over." She smirked then turned aside.

    To make it look more real to the guests who had stopped blaming him, he wrapped his strong arm around her waist only to deepen the kiss. Julia was enjoying every moment and was willing to keep going. She didn't want it to stop anytime soon. As for Stella and her mother, they were pissed. This was clearly not what they expected. Raymond was supposed to be shamefaced but instead, he was getting the attention of all the guests and also, and they were praising their chemistry. "Mom, we would have just allowed him to leave. What is this?" Stella cringed, unable to bear the scene anymore. "You are right." She muttered feeling defeated. Raymond has proven to them several times that no matter what they did to him, he would always find a way to wriggle himself out but they were too stubborn to let go of him. "I will get him in my hook someday and I swear to my maker, he wouldn't be able to wriggle away. I will make sure he wishes the earth swallows him." Mrs. Brooks scoffed. Sa

    With the way Raymond had scurried off earlier, Julia was convinced there was nothing wrong with the food. She felt there was something up his sleeves but the issue was, she couldn't place her hands on it no matter her efforts. "I don't trust him a bit." She said, biting the corner of her lips. She tried to resume eating but she couldn't. She had suddenly lost appetite. Instead of waiting for the maids to carry the used plates, she grabbed the plate and then went to the caterers stand. "Thank you." She said, placing the plates on the table. "You are welcome. I hope you enjoyed your meal?" The lady behind the table asked, returning her smile. "I did, thank you." On getting to the table she was occupying, she met an unsolicited visitor, smiling at her as if she had won a lottery. Her visitor was, Asher. She was a close friend up until she married Raymond, the alleged pauper. "What do you want?" She asked, lowering herself on her seat. "Come on, stop acting as if we are fighting

    "Come on Ray." Julia groaned into his back. Smirking, he swirled her around so she was looking back at him. "Let's go." He said, brushing away her hair from her face. Before they got to the table, she had begun to struggle to keep her hair in place but all was futile. "Let me help you," Raymond said, helping her to sit. "You can't help me. You aren't a lady." She smirked. She had decided to act along with the drama. "But I have been living with a lady, so let me." "If you say so but don't forget that if you do a quack job, I'm going to make fun of you forever." She smirked and Raymond nodded, chuckling. He packed her hair expertly into a tight bun and when he was done, he placed his phone before her. "How do you look?" He asked, "To me, you look like an angel, tell me yours." He smirked. "An angel too." She chuckled. The couples had a swell time making out as the guests watched them. Soon it was fifteen minutes to two am and the MC climbed the podium. The party w

    "Sometimes, you don't have to listen to what people are saying. He might not even be in his right senses, you never can tell." Raymond smirked. "Indeed." Julia snapped. She couldn't wait for them to get home so she would vent her anger on him. She was still sulking when Stella stopped beside her. "Come with me." She said, "Why?" "We need to unwrap Dad and Mom's gift. I don't think you will be going home tonight because the gifts are so many." She sang like a canary. She aimed to make Raymond feel bad. "As you can see, I have a company. I can't leave him." Stella cast Raymond a glance then let out a low hiss. "He is invalid. Come with me at this moment." "Please go away and stop bothering me. You and mom contrived to embarrass me and my husband and now you want me to come help you, no way. Ask Mom to help you since you two are partners." Raymond grabbed Julia's hand to calm her down. He knew she was mad at him but he still had to step in to prevent the issue from escala

    "Is this a dream or what?" The guests asked themselves as they admired the present. "What is all this?" Julia's uncle, who was advising Raymond a while ago asked as he made his way towards where he stood. "Son, why didn't you tell us you have something up your sleeves instead of bearing all the insults we melted on you?" He asked playfully. "Nothing. I didn't want to give my gift back there." He shrugged. Meanwhile, Niko and Adam had left the scene to avoid being seen. "Isn't this SV Carmel edition?" Someone asked "Of course and the last time I checked, it cost $300,000" his colleague replied as they continued to admire the car. "It's $370,000 now. Shipping fee is not included." Another chirped in. Instead of berating Raymond now, they were now admiring him as they wondered how he was able to present such an expensive gift to his in-laws. "I guess it is a loan." "He must have tangible collateral to take that as a loan. He is rich, he is just pretending to be some poor

    "Ray," she groaned, slapping his hands off."What's it? Come let's get you to sleep." He said, trying to take her hands but she pushed him away."Why are you hiding things from me?" She groaned, feeling betrayed and frustrated at the same time.If only he had told her his intention, she wouldn't have made any fuss but he didn't, taking her unaware.To make him feel less ashamed, she had to make a quick purchase of customized jewelry in his name but unfortunately, they arrived late not knowing he had something up his sleeves."Why are you acting this way? We are married and so we shouldn't be keeping things away from each other." She stressed her words."Next time, trust me." He said with his hand on his chest but she wasn't going to buy this. She gave him a few minutes to compose himself before she asked her previous question."Where did you get the money from? $370,000 is not something you ca

    "Is it the underrated son-in-law or just Raymond?" Austin smirked with his arms crossed on his chest. "Are we friends?" Raymond smirked. "No." "Do you want to be my friend?" "No." "Then stay away from me else I will tell the CEO you are troubling me. Jaime wasn't bluffing when he said the CEO would relieve anyone from their job if they tried to bother me." He smirked. Taken aback by his rendition, Austin's mouth fell open. He was thinking he could still ride on Raymond like he always did before. "Aren't you tired of bullying him?" Antonio asked, joining them with Julius closely behind. Ever since they pulled that stunt on Sarah, the two had become best of friends. "I'm not bullying him," Austin replied in self-defense. He was stylishly moving backward, scared that the three would lynch him. "I don't want to see you around him else I will tell the CEO what you and Jaime are plotting against Ray. Or do you think I don't know?" Julius was the one speaking now. "Don't

    "You wanted to say something," Xavier said, reminding Raymond who seemed to have forgotten what he wanted to say. "Yeah. Actually, it's a question I want to ask." "And what's that?" "You want me to assist you right?" "Yes…" "Then, what will I get in return when we pull this against FreeBie successfully?" "Anything you want apart from my life and property." "You're sure?" Xavier nodded in response. He was expecting Raymond to accept immediately but when he didn't say anything for a while, he asked. "Does that mean you are assisting me?" "I never said that. I'm still contemplating." He smirked After spending a little more time, Raymond took his leave even without getting permission from Xavier. Immediately after he left, Xavier called Jaime in. "I want you to keep tabs on Raymond. I don't trust him a bit." He said. Jaime was taken aback by his request. He was not expecting his boss to say something like that, not after his cordial relationship with Raymond. He ha

    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. He would rather have his company crumble than let his son manage it? What kind of man was that? — he scowled, replaying his words in his head. 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."

    "Where's Raymond? I can't believe he couldn't do anything to help Julia rather he sat back watching that lunatic lynch her.” Mrs. Brooks said, storming towards the ward she had been directed to. 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. Now look where that love has gotten her." Mrs. Brooks yelled, venom dripping from

    Meanwhile, Julia was holding her head in pain, she screamed in sheer horror as she saw the blood streaming down her face, staining her clothes in the process. 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.

    Pursing her lips, Ava tried to forget about the conversation she had with Dina but couldn't. Meanwhile, Dina was busy eating merrily as she continued divulging more information to her. “Please stop it already, you are making me feel nervous.” Ava snapped. “What? 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. Also, I want you to clear that motion from your head. We aren't a team or anything. 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. The previous day, she even went ahead to share lunch with her, promising to help her find someone else. “This is crazy.” She said, shaking her head as she bit her bottom lips. “If you want, I can sho
