"Maria, come help handle the children." Jacinta, Adam's wife, called the maid who wasted no time in appearing at the doorway.

"Mom," Birdie, the younger one scowled, running behind Jacinta.

"What's it? I told you after lessons…"

"Diner, bath then sleep." She cried.

"Then what?"

"I don't want to go with Maria. She said she won't talk to me again." She cried, using her little palm to wipe her face.

Maria was chuckling at the show Birdie was putting up. Being the younger one, she always wanted things to be done her way even when she had been warned not to.

Earlier that day, Maria had just finished bathing Birdie and her brother. She wanted to dress them up for school but Birdie refused, saying she wanted to dress herself.

In the process of trying to pick up her clothes, she fell face-first to the floor but luckily for her, the children's room floor was padded so she didn't sustain any injury.

To make her stay in place, Maria threatened to report her to Jacinta only for he

    "So, if I don't tell you, you aren't going to speak to me, huh?" He asked. "Yeah." She affirmed. "Forever." "Yeah." "Okay then." He smirked then brushed past her. Julia was furious with the way he just discarded her threat as if it meant nothing. She just wanted to know how he got the money to purchase such an expensive car and also know what job he was doing that was making his bank account overflow with money. Unknowingly to him, she had peeped at his balance the day he pretended to slump. "Come on Ray, this is not funny anymore." She groaned in distress. When Raymond got to the office, just like it had been for a while now, tongues were wagging about him. For the first time since the drama began, he decided to listen to the conversation of two staff who were so engrossed that they didn't know when he joined them. "...Look, Raymond must be a fraudster." Seeing the doubtful expression on his colleague's face, he said, "I'm being serious here." "Jaime didn't confir

    "The defaulters will receive a mail and I expect you all to comply with your punishment. Go on, have a nice day, and always remember, we are a team and only together we can win." Xavier ended his speech with a smirk and after running his eyes around the boardroom, he took his leave. To prevent being a scapegoat, those who hadn't received the message refused to look in his direction. They were all scared. This was the finest time a CEO in Dexx was taking interest in a mere worker. While all these were going on, Raymond's focus was on what he had intended to accomplish that day. He had decided to get the documents that bound his father's company and that of Dexx together. The only place he could get the documents he wanted was the Partnerships Department, unlike his company where the Human Resource department was responsible to be in charge of these documents. "Let's do this." He said to himself as he rose. Mayor had long left the scene to continue his study. He was bent on ge

    Raymond sunk deeper into his seat with his gaze fixed on Xavier. The request was sudden and so he wasn't prepared for it. "What should I do now?" He thought, chewing his fingers with his gaze still fixed on Xavier who was watching him closely with his newest plan brewing in his head. The only way he could bring the plan to life was if Raymond agreed to become his PA. "Come on, it's not really hard. I'm here to guide you all through the way." Xavier said in a convincing tone. "What then will happen to Jaime when he returns? I'm not really comfortable taking his spot." Raymond muttered, sounding pitiable to make him change his mind. "I'm the boss here, I will fix Jaime when he returns, don't worry about that." Frustrated, Raymond let out a low groan. He had been racking his brain for ideas on how to slip off this offer but it seemed Xavier was well prepared for him. In frustration, he face-palmed himself before sitting up. "Don't worry about Jaime, like I said, I'm going t

    "Nothing," Raymond muttered. He was expecting Niko to tell him exactly what he wanted him to do. "He should go for it," Adam said. The phone was on loudspeaker so he could hear all their conversation. Niko raised his head at once. He was not in support of Raymond working side by side with Xavier. He felt it was a trap from Xavier's end. "Are you not in support of it?" Adam asked after seeing his expression. "Uhm…" he scratched his temple with the tip of his fingers before digging his hand into his hair. "Well, it's just a suggestion. You can counter it if you want." Adam shrugged with his hands folded across his chest. "It's not that. I just feel Xavier is trying to take advantage of him. Remember, he gave him the task of bringing FreeBie down whilst he would take all the glory at the end of the day. He wouldn't mind giving him more daunting tasks as time goes on." He explained. "You're right." Adam nodded in agreement. He hadn't thought of that before. Raymond on the

    Immediately he stepped out of Xavier's office, he let out a sigh. He was having a mixed reaction; he was angry at himself that he accepted the offer and at the same time glad that he accepted. "Let's see how it goes." He mumbled. Tucking his hands into his pocket, he began to head towards the elevator. Mayor was already on his way out when he returned to the office to gather his belongings. "You don't look good. Is everything alright?" Raymond asked on seeing his expression. "Why didn't you tell me?" He asked with a sour expression. It was as if he was going to break down in tears the next second. "I don't understand what you are driving at." "Aren't you the CEO's new personal assistant? What then happens when you are gone?" He scoffed. Xavier had sent a quick e-mail to him informing him of his new position. "I'm sorry. I tried to dissuade him but his mind was made up. I'm really sorry, I wouldn't have accepted if I had the power to do so." He replied with a low tone. He

    Satisfied with his apology, she pulled the door open, and with a sly smile, she stepped out. "I have told you several times to stop keeping things away from me. It hurts you know." She groaned, running her fingers against his exposed arm. "I was scared you were going to be mad at me that's why." He muttered. Intertwining her fingers with his, she brought their hands to her lips and then planted a quick kiss on the back of his palm. "I'm sorry, okay. I wouldn't have treated you like a lesser being. I'm sorry." She said, rubbing her nose against his palm. "It's fine." To make it up to him, she pulled him to the kitchen to make late-night snacks which they ate while watching a series. The following morning, things returned to normalcy. She was so cheerful and even helped him prepare for work. Meanwhile, at FreeBie, James Patterson had assumed his new position fully. He had just finished signing some documents and was now moving around the departments with Bernard, his per

    It didn't take time before Xavier realized what was going on. Within a split second he was by Raymond's side, grasping his hand. "Are you alright?" He asked. Checking his pulse, he realized it wasn't normal. "Let's get you to the bay." He said in panic. "Don't worry about me. I'm fine." Raymond replied stubbornly. Of course he wasn't but he didn't want to go to the bay for whatever reason. "Don't say that." Xavier scowled. He dug his hand into his pocket to pull out his phone but to his horror it wasn't there. Trying to remember where he left it, he began to run helter skelter but before he could find it, Raymond was already on the floor. He had passed out. "What have I gotten myself into?" He cringed, glancing at Raymond's body. For more than five minutes he was still in a state of shock. It was when his phone began to buzz on the printing machine that he returned to consciousness. Not bothering to check the caller's ID, he declined the call then hurriedly inputted th

    "Don't just stand there, call the doctor." Mr. Brooks yelled at Xavier who was panicking. Instead of the act he had planned to put up, he fainted for real after hitting his against the floor. A few minutes later, he was in the ambulance and soon they were on their way to the hospital. When Raymond finally opened his eyes, he groaned. "I must have gone too far." He muttered as he darted his eyes around. Fortunately for him, he didn't see anyone around. Not bothering to check the drip that was connected to his arm, he removed the needle then climbed out of bed. He was about to turn the knob when someone at the other end beat him to it. "What? You were lying in that bed moments ago, huh? What's happening?" The nurse asked, staring weirdly at him. She had gone to get some injections to administer into his veins. Pursing his lips, he reached out for the tag on her uniform. After arranging it, he said, "Kendra Lamar, I just passed out and so this is uncalled for." He smirked

Women love traveling to Dubai and I know my woman would want the same too.” "What woman, last I checked, you're single.” Raymond said. "Is that what you think?" Niko asked with a smirk. Adam and Raymond exchanged glances with their mouths wide open. Adam was the first to speak because he was surprised since he was closer to Niko."Are you seeing any woman now?" Adam asked, surprise evident in his tone and Niko chuckled for a bit before he sat down, he had been standing ever since he began his description."I would only tell you when I'm done with my description of my perfect dream wedding.

    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." Raymond yelled downing another shot in one gulp. "You shouldn't have met him." Adam said to him rubbing his shoulder. "I don't know why you bother with him when you should be looking for ways to cut ties with him for good." To that Raymond grun

Niko and Adam and finally succeeded in pushing them out to prevent further drama. “Sure, I'm.” Came her response, accompanying it with a smile but Raymond wasn't placated by it and didn't bother to hide it. “Are you thinking about Dina?” She asked and immediately, Raymond snapped his head in her direction.“Dina doesn't matter here, your health and wellbeing comes first.” He said, propping her up, he said, “Let's get you to Doctor Anderson so he can check you thoroughly.” He said, pushing her hair behind her ears. “Don't you trust…” “I don't.” he snapped even before she could complete her words. “Fine, let's go see him.” She said with a shrug. After making a few calls, Julia was moved to Doctor Anderson hospital. Though he wouldn't be the one to perform the checkup, he referred another doctor who shared the same name with him. Before they could get to th

    "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. Niko wanted to stop her but Adam came out of nowhere and then blocked his path.“What do you think you are going to do?” Niko yelled, trying to bypass him but couldn't.“Let's watch her.” He replied, pushing him backwards. “Watch her as she attempts to kill Julia? Are you even thinking?” He yelled, still trying to move but couldn't. “Get your hands off me.” He yelled, pushing him but he wouldn't budge. Whi

    The two continued bickering with no hope of stopping anytime soon. 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. The following morning, after breakfast, since the party was scheduled to hold by evening, Julia decided to keep he

    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. If this continues, I'm scared you wouldn't mind doing something that would mar their marriage forever.” She mumbled. Leaning towards her, she said with a little voice

    “Ava isn't the culprit here.” Niko suddenly said the following day when he, Julia, Adam and Raymond were gathered around a table to decide on which way the party was going to go. “Really?” Julia asked, leaning close, eager to hear everything that he wanted to say. “Yeah. 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
