A DEAL WITH THE BILLIONAIRE (A Contract Marriage) EPISODE THIRTY SIX THEME: Meeting the Crawford Clan CONNECTICUT, UNITED OF AMERICA CRAWFORD MANSION The ride to the Crawford’s home was in total silence with each person lost in their own thoughts. They had nothing to say to each other. When Christopher drove into his family’s mansion, Raven couldn’t help the shock that grazed her face. The expression showed that it was like the fairy tale sort of mansion she grew up knowing as a fantasy lover. There was a water fountain in the middle of the compound and on the other side were different exotic cars parked in place. Raven could smell and feel wealth, riches plus sophistication at the same time. She would have never dreamt of entering such an eloquence and luxury in her life. She wanted a good life for herself and family but this was beyond her imagination. Telling her not to open the door herself like she used to, he came down hurriedly, walked around the car an
A DEAL WITH THE BILLIONAIRE (A Contract Marriage) EPISODE THIRTY SEVEN THEME: Are you okay, Raven? CONNECTICUT, UNITED OF AMERICA As Christophe drove to Raven’s home, he wondered what was up with her. They haven’t had much conversation since they both left his family’s house and also knowing that Raven wasn’t that dismissive. After pondering internally for another five minutes, Christopher remembered how his elder sister had acted towards his fake wife to be. Ashley’s ridiculous claims, questions and snobbish attitude must be the reason. He concluded. Christopher cleared his throat as he drove on. “Ahm...about my elder sister, I am sorry. Sometimes, she acts that way but she is also a very good person.” He apologized. Raven turned her attention away from glancing out to the dark skies through the window and she looked at him. “Well...to me it seems like she was the only one who didn’t buy our lies. It felt like she was seeing the facade through me.” “That’s not true. And a

However, last night’s dinner kept coming back to him. He wondered what was eating his elder sister up because it was strange. Ashley had liked his ex girlfriend so much so why was she opposed to this other one?To Christopher, they had put up a good show and he had enjoyed playing the part of someone deeply in love. Even though it irked him to not have a way of lamenting about the state of his heart. If only he could have things his own way, he would rather find a solace place to be, get drunk and cry his eyes out.He wasn’t one to fake his feelings which was why he was so expressive with Jessica.

I miss the smell of this place. Just a few days off and it seems like a life time already.” She rubbed at the table gently like a lover of hers that she was trying to remember how it felt touching her skin once again.Not paying attention, Tiana dumped her bag at the usual spot, grabbed an apron and donned it on her neck.“I love this place!” Raven said.“It is people like you who get a chance to meet some fairy godmother and ask for her to make the kitchen your future partner.” Tiana purred.“You sound like it is a bad thing.” Raven chuckled.“Of course it is a bad thing! I really hate coming here!” Tiana whined.Raven turned to face her. “Now tell me, Tiana, is it the kitchen or the building?”Looking lost for a moment. “I really can’t tell.”“You are hopele

On getting closer to the table twenty four, she saw the reason why her name had been stated specifically.“Good morning, Mrs Crawford! Hi Ava.” Raven greeted both of them with a tight lipped smile.This was the point Raven realized why most people would say; they wished the ground would open and swallow them. She was in such a tight situation right now and disappearing into the thin air sounds really laudable at the moment.Raven’s mind raced at the sight of Christopher’s mom and his younger sister sitting with so much composure at the restaurant she worked at and also calling her out.Her heartbeat accelerated about a four hundred meters and taking two beats at a time as she also tried to think of the reason they had showed up at her workplace.

She almost smacked her head wondering what was wrong with her memory. A good mother was not meant to get carried away from anything when the child was on a sick bed.Raven brought out her phone and swiped a certain area. She had purposely placed her mother on speed dial for emergency situations.“I would like to make a phone call please. I need to speak to my son.” She excused herself.“That’s fine.” Hope said.But Raven decided to make the call right in front of them so she won’t seem rude and to avoid any form of doubt. Her mother picked the call on the first ring.‘I was just about to call you. He has been asking of you since he woke up today.’ Eva ranted.‘I am really sorry
A DEAL WITH THE BILLIONAIRE(A Contract Marriage)EPISODE FORTY-TWOTHEME: Emotional Raven CONNECTICUT, UNITED STATE OF AMERICA GOOD TIME KIDDIES STORERaven couldn’t fathom the number of toys that were being tossed into the shopping basket. Hope and Ava were going bonkers as they began to bombard Raven with questions about things that Rowan fancied. They must have planned a coup while she was still taking slow strides towards the car. Raven had been taken by surprise when they had taken a different route and had dropped by at the children toy store and started picking whatever they could lay their hands in and according to her list of what her son loves so much.Raven laughed lightly. “There is really no need for you both to do this, Rowan has enough toys.” She said to them. She has lost count of how many times she is saying these same set of words.“No grandchild of mine will lack anything. Now that Rowan is in the sick he would need lots of companion.” Hope replied.Raven’s
