Christiana's POV;
"You slept on the bed. "I note.
"Oh. Yeah, about that. I'm... I'm sorry I... "He begins but I cut him.
"It's okay. "I reply with a smile and the expression on his face has a small brush of confusion. Which causes my smile to grow.
He slowly looks down, and I follow his gaze. I find that he's staring at our interlocked fingers, and I quickly drag my hand away in embarrassment. I have no idea when I took hold of his hand, but I should have let go before he saw it!
"Uhm... Uhm, Granny wants us downstairs. "I say to him with my face turned away from him.
" Sure. "He replies. I feel him get off the bed, and I watch him get into the restroom. I run my palms over my face. What's going on with you Christiana? I feel all fuzzy and excited. What's going on?
Raymond comes out of the restroom with his hair dripping water, and my throat dries up as I

Dream Husband 45 -I Have A Plan
Roses POV; It's been almost a week since I met Rayon. The handsome stranger who helped me. My foot is a lot better, and I'm still with his wallet. I've been too coward to ask Raymond about him or to send the wallet to him through Raymond. Also because I want to get to see him again. It's noon, and I've spent most of the day at work. I need a stroll. I grab my bag and help myself out of the building. One thing with being the boss, is, no one questions you. Rayon's POV; I deliberately left my wallet in Rose's car a few days ago. With the hope of her requesting to see me, through Raymond. But nothing of that sort happened, so it's time for plan C. I am just a few feet away from her office when I spot her exiting the building. She's in a cute green dress, which has long, black, net sleeves. I exhale as I increase my pace. "Hello, "I greet. Startling her a bit. "Jesus Christ! "She exclaims. "So sorry, "I apologize, as sh

Raymonds POV;"Hey, I have an idea. Why don't we celebrate this? "I question, and she chuckles."Celebrate a hundred dollars? Goodness knows how much the others have made, and besides, where will we get the money to do that? "She questions and I smile."Well, the company has given me... A raise, and it should be enough for what I have planned. "I reply and she looks up at me in shock."Really? A raise? That's awesome! Gosh, I'm so happy for you. "She replies, and I smile. I don't like lying to her. I want to tell her that I'm now a big shot. I want to tell her that I am the one who's helped her anonymously, twice with her issues. I want to tell her, that she shouldn't worry about what her family does to me, As the money in my bank account can buy all their savings altogether, and that's without including my companies account, and my other assets.

Raymonds POV;"Something the matter? " Christiana questions as I approach her."N... No... No. He... Just had a few questions for me. "I reply, and she nods. I take a seat beside her, and she rests her head on my shoulder and keeps her gaze on the now dark sky." Aren't they beautiful? "She questions and I look up at the dark blue sky, beautifully embroidered with stars like crystals scattered all about." Yes. Yes, they are. "I reply and she takes a deep breath."I wonder if our mothers are looking down at us. "She says, and I smile." I believe they are. If they weren't, I don't think I'd have you in my life. "I reply and she chuckles." Yeah. Me too. "She replies."You never told me about your father. "She says, and my heart skips a beat. Did she hear Theodore and me?" You never asked. "I reply. Trying to calm my nerves. No. Christiana is not the nosy type. She'd never spy on me." Well, I am now, "She replies
Dream Husband 48 -Burnt Dreams
Raymond's POV; I just placed a kiss on Christiana's lips and much to my surprise, she didn't stop me. She's sober and has zero levels of alcohol in her system, so the kiss was fully consensual, and she permitted it. My wants were already getting the better of me, and I was willing to intensify the kiss, and go wherever and however the wind blows, but the moment got interrupted by her phone. I watch her walk nervously towards it. Her face clothed in the pink shade of embarrassment. She is blushing so hard, her face changed color. I rest on the rail as I watch her pick the call and pull the phone, up to her ear. Just after the phone reaches her ear, she freezes, and the phone falls out of her hand. My brows furrow in worry as I stare at Christiana who has the look of shock and dismay plastered on her face. "Christiana? "I call in worry, but I get no reply. I quickly move towards her and pick her phone from the floor. The ID reads ' Sophie ', and
Dream Husband 49 -Sky scrapper
Christiana's POV; I stand before the rumbles my building now is, with the police going through the ashes, in a bid to help me recover what can be found. Grandma sent them. She said this is the least we could do. The firefighters investigated, and said the fire started from inside the fire alarm! I don't know how Stella and Drake pulled this off, but it's obvious that they got a pro to do it. So far, some shoes, pieces of jewelry, clothes, and some other stuff have been found, but what's been found, is not up to a quarter of what once stood here. I need support, and neither my dad nor husband are here to give me that. My dad woke up with a slight fever today, and couldn't make it. He tried hiding it from me, but I've lived 26 years with him. A period long enough to know him like the back of my hand. Raymond on the other hand has a very important meeting today at his workplace and missing it will cause a big scene. So he said, and I trust him. I
Dream Husband 50 -You Love Him
Christiana's POV; I am sitting in the mansion's library, staring out the window. my body is in this room, but my mind is scattered everywhere. It's been a while since I've come here. Asides from my room, this used to be my second safe heaven, but I guess after accepting Raymond and enjoying his company, I hardly ever want to leave the room. It's been three days since I got the skyscraper. The inturns have been magnificent, and I'm making cool cash. However, I'm scared, bothered. Grandma's words keep coming to me. When she asked me to pray that my anonymous helper doesn't leave me. I don't know who this person is. When my father needed help, this person came through, when I needed 3 million dollars, this person helped, and even gave me 2 extra! And now, when all my hope seemed lost, this same person came through and once again got me out of a pickle. I do not even know. is it the same person, or different people? I'm confused. How does this person,
Dream Husband 51 -Stella!!
Christiana's POV; My dad and I share a look as we hear grandmas roar from inside. "Stella! "She calls again, and my dad and I with hurried steps proceed towards the house. I've heard grandma call, Stella, like that before, and with the tone of her voice, I know whatever is coming, is not going to be good for Stella. I thank God that no matter the issues between grandma and me, she's never called me like that. My dad and I walk into the house and find our family members already in the living room. In this house, whatever drama being held in the living room, has an open invitation to all family members except the kids, which remain in the children section of the house, and workers who peep from behind doors, windows, and curtains. So that explains the crowd in the living room. I stand beside my father, and Raymond walks up to us with his hands in his pocket. Standing beside me, and my throat dries as I recall my father's words. I steal a glance

"Raymond questions as I dump myself on the bed, as we enter our room. "No. "I reply staring at the ground as I sit at the edge of our bed. Raymond has grown to know how to read me like a book, so there's no point lying to him. "I can't believe grandma cut Stella off like that. She showed no mercy. "I confess. Still not looking up. "Well, I don't blame Her. Stella has proven to be a very, very stupid person, and she got served a slice of life. That's nobody's fault. Grandma has been tolerating her nonsense for quite some time now. I'm not surprised this happened. I'm only surprised it took this long. "He replies, and I stare up at him. I didn't expect him to say that. I find him resting against the door, and he instantly comes off it once he sees my face. "
