Veena woke up finding herself in an unfamiliar room. Where is she? The last time she remembered was fainting from Ashley’s constant attacks. She can still feel the body pains that she received from every blow. The bright sunlight was glowing on to her. She must’ve slept for a long time.
“How are you feeling?” she looked up to see the man who helped her last night. It was Lois.
“I can still feel the body pains.” she answered hoarsely. He offered her a drink and she thanked him, drowning it down to give moisture to her dry throat.
“The Harrisons bailed her out. Do you want to press charges on her?” he asked.
“No. Going against them is useless.” She replied. “I’m sorry but are you Aloysius Rossenov?.”
“Yes, Lois is my nickname.” he answered.
Lois noticed her uneasiness and he wanted to reassure her that he is not a threat. Abby barged into the room and apologized right away for disturbing them.
“Miss Harrison, are you alright?” Abby asked.
She looked over to the man who helped her. Soon the tension in her body relaxed. He seems to be a good guy. However she didn’t want to trouble him when he was in the middle of a meeting.
“I'm good, Abby.” she answered then stood up from the bed and faced Lois. “Thank you for helping me I appreciate it. If only I can pay you back.”
He took out a card with his number on it. “You will repay me back tomorrow at the Civil Affair office.”
"What are we going to do at the Civil Affairs? Can you tell me some information or anything that is expected to do there?"
"You will know soon, Veena." Lois smiled.
He left the apartment and Veena lied down, resting.
The news of the scandalous fight was plastered everywhere. She read an article from a famous gossip magazine. Thankfully most of them weren’t biased and questioned Ashley’s outrageous actions.
Veena was disappointed of Ashley. As the CEO of Fontana she is also risking the the company's reputation. Who would want to do business with an unstable and crazy leader?
Her phone rang and she rolled her eyes when Helen called. What is it now?
“Veena! I demand you to apologize to Ashley right now and clear her name!"
Her eyes were brewing in anger. There is no way she’s going to do that.
“I’m sorry you got the wrong person. Please don’t ever disturb me again. I refuse to be Ashley's mentor and if she won't get her self straight then Fontana will burn in her hands. Also don’t meddle into my affairs or demand something from me.”
"Oh in addition to that, I’ll be entering the fashion industry again. Let’s see if Ashley can beat me.” She added.
“What the!? You promised not to do anything!” Helen growled angrily.
“I never promised anything, Helen. You only told me to never take back Fontana and I followed through. If I can’t have my Fontana then I’ll just make another company to compete with Fontana.”
She stared at her phone blankly when Helen suddenly ended the call.
She’s been idling around for a while and decided to do something about her plans. The plans to make Fontana fall to the brink. Before she could do that doing some research is a must.
“Abby!” she called out. The assistant came in immediately.
“How can I help you, Miss Harrison?”
“I want to go to Bayfair.” Abby was startled from her request.
"But your injuries..."
"It doesn't hurt anymore. Please, I really want to go." Veena begged.
“I-I should ask my boss about it or Felix.” Just in time Felix arrived carrying few bags.
“Good day, Miss Harrison. My boss bought you some clothes and he won’t be accepting any complaints.” Felix said.
“That man…will he ever stop?” she frowned. “Can I go to Bayfair, Felix?” Veena asked.
“Sure. Just be careful that place is a bit too far from Geneva. Keep Abby by your side just in case your injury gets worse.”
Veena nodded to Abby.
“Thank you, I’ll take care of Veena well.” Abby said. She nodded slightly to Felix and he gave her a small smile. A smile that made her blush like a teenager.
Veena was smiling like a cheshire cat to Abby. She saw the way the two looked at each other a while ago. Should she do some match making magic between them?
Once Felix left the apartment she turned to her assistant.
"What do you think of Felix?" she asked.
Abby stiffened from the question. The assistant did not expect that at all. "He's ah...handsome...smart...and hardworking?" she replied.
"Do you like him?"
"W-What? N-No we’re not close, Miss Harrison...I-I mean Veena."
“Oh really?” Veena teased her assistant. Abby is a brunette with her hair cut up in a bob. The woman is slightly taller than her and has a curvy body. She is pretty attractive.
Abby blushed like a tomato. Veena caught her being attracted towards Felix. She should be careful from now on her lady boss got the eyes of a hawk.
"I grew up with Felix since I was still a young girl. We have never been close until now. All we talk about is business stuff. He is dedicated to our boss and soon will be dedicated to you." Abby said.
"Dedicated to me?" Veena was confused.
"You will know tomorrow."
Veena did not question further. These people are always telling her to expect something tomorrow, at the Civil Affairs office.
As Veena entered the car her phone vibrated. It was a message from the Lois. A wide smile formed on her lips and her eyes sparkled with naughtiness.
“Be careful and have fun.”
Some people were looking at the woman with expensive clothes. Veena was looking around the small shops in Bayfair’s mall. Bayfair is located in the middle-class area of Geneva where most rich people never steps in. One shop caught her attention especially the design being displayed outside the shop. Abby opened the glass door for her and the owner was startled upon seeing an elegant woman coming in. “G-Good morning, Miss. How can I help you?” Veena took a peek of the woman’s name tag. Chelsy Moor. “Hello Chelsy. My name is Veena and I’m interested in your work.” “Veena? The Veena Harrison of Fontana!?” Chelsy couldn’t believe it that the woman infront of her was the CEO of the luxurious clothing brand. She was a big fan of the Fontana brand even she herself began to study in fashion design. It is her dream to show the world of her designs. “Yes dear the one and only. However, I don’t want to tie myself up with Fontana. Things have changed and Fontana is no longer in my hands now.
A bright ray of sunlight from the window woke her up. Veena groaned in pain squinting her eyes trying to remember yesterday’s events. This is the second time she got drunk and promised herself not to drink again. She wanted to get out of the bed but something is stopping her. A muscular pair of arms wrapped around her and a hot breath blowing on to the naked skin on her shoulder. The glinting shine of the ring on her finger caught her attention. Oh no…what has she done? She turnd her head and was met by the peaceful sleeping face of Lois. D-Did they just get married!? Slowly grabbing his arm releasing its hold on to her, but Lois tightened his arms. “Where are you going?” he said groggily. “U-Uhm…I should go.” she reasoned out. “T-This is a mistake.” “What mistake? You asked me to marry you and accepted your offer.” He leaned over caging her with his arms. He moved her legs apart wrapping them around his pelvis. She blushed as she roamed her eyes all over his delicious muscular
Lois stared at the gold ring wrapped around his finger. Felix watched his boss silently. He still couldn't understand why boss agreed to marry Veena. He tried hard to think of reasons and ended in a conclusion that involves his grandfather, Emmon Rossenov. "Does Mrs. Rossenov know that you married her for securing your inheritance?" Felix nervously asked. Lois glared at him. "Didn't I tell you not to say a word about it? It doesn't matter if she knows or not. We are merely using each other for our own benefit." "I do believe she still has the right to know, boss." Felix insisted. "Even if I tell her she will leave." "Even if she finds out she might still leave." Felix prodded on. Lois sighed in disbelief. Felix may be his assistant, but he still values his opinion. His office door opened and Veena came in. She is wearing his white shirt that reached her thigh revealing long white legs. He ca
Lois got the information he needed and gave the file to Veena. Apparently, Ashley was meeting with a big investor. James Carol is a pudgy man with disgusting fantasies towards women. Veena sighed in disbelief of Ashley's choice. Does she even know about background checks? James Carol doesn't have a good record and is known to a perverted man with many women in his arms. "There is a meeting regarding your new company. Everyone can't wait to meet you." Lois said. "I do hope your employees won't terrorize me. You even have to argue with your team because of my scandal." "It's okay, wife. I will protect you." Lois promised. The couple arrived at Rossenov Corporation and most of the employees gathered to see a mysterious woman walking beside their boss. Veena was wearing a teal colored blouse with a black blazer. The skirt hugged her lower body perfectly, showing off her beautiful legs. Even with
Lois has given Veena a small office space where she can work peacefully. The plans Veena envisioned for Luxuria is starting to form. The only thing she needs to worry about is the supplier. "H-Hello?" Chelsy came in looking around nervously. "Chelsy! I'm glad you are here." Veena greeted the newcomer. "Miss Harrison, thank you for having me here. Will this be our office? I can't believe that the company is a subsidiary of Rossenov." "Please call me Veena, Chelsy. And no, this is only a temporary office space. The building for Luxuria is still under construction. We can continue working here and do some brainstorming on ideas." "That's great! I am honored to work with the great designer in Geneva!" Chelsy said happily. A lot of crumpled papers were scattered around the room. Veena likes Chelsy's ideas since she has experienced living in a middle class family. Luxuria's target does not o
Lois immediately went over to his wife. He feared that she is injured as Abby told him that they're currently in the hospital. "Make sure that there are no prying eyes outside and inside of the hospital." he ordered Felix. The assistant nodded and made few calls for security. A private room is set immediately and only the director knows he's here. He's a close friend and trusts him a lot. "Lois, it's great to see you again! Miss Harisson is safe in the private room I arranged. I made sure the nurses and doctors who handled her won't say a thing." The hospital director, Jonathan said. "Thank you. Is she alright?" "She's in a good condition only a few cuts and bruises." All he can see is anger upon seeing her covered in bandage. Whoever did this he'll make sure to pay them back triple. "Lois..." Veena winced from the bruise on her arm. Abby was driving in a normal pace un
"Well? Is the job done?" Helen asked in a hushed tone."Well...about that." the caller replied.Her eyes widened. She hoped that it was a success and not a failed plan."Veena's driver was too good and was able to swerve the car in time. We hit the vehicle behind them instead. Thankfully we got out unscathed before the anyone could catch us. We only left few injuries on Veena, but we bet she's definitely still alive and breathing.""Y-You idiot! How could you let her go alive!? You could have just kidnapped her in the middle or something!" Helen wanted to strangle these incompetent men."We're sorry madam! There was a police officer nearby who was on a day off. We couldn't do anything else!""Ugh! I'll deal with you later!" Helen ended the call, fuming mad."Mom? How was it?" Ashley asked."Useless men! The plan has failed! I'm sure Veena is aware by now that we are the ones capable o
The conversation Veena had with Lois at the day of the accident bothered her mind. She agreed to a 'friends with benefits' thing in their marriage. "There is nothing wrong with sleeping together. If ever one of us needs to release the tension in the body, then we have each other. It's easy as that, Veena." Those were the words he told her. Knowing how busy she would be for the new company. She didn't hesitate to agree. Just intimate moments in bed with no feelings attached. She is alone at home as Abby went to celebrate her sister's birthday. And Lois has tons of work to do along with his assistant, Felix. He was fussing around to increase the security in the house for her own safety. She tapped on the pad of paper with her pen. The plans for her new company, Luxuria, is nearly done. Her mind blanked out forgetting what to write. The sound of the door bell rang and she glanced at the clock. It's
