POV: SelinaThere is no doubt in my heart that this is not the first time it’s happened. Carl handled it so efficiently and they have everything he needs to recover quickly, you won’t believe that he has a blood bank in his house. It's as if he is prepared for the worst. Now I’m feeling scared to be called his girlfriend. What if I’m shot too, what if he gets me in trouble, what am I going to do?I lay on the large bed that is in the luxurious bedroom that Carl asked me to stay in. We are currently at a beautiful condo that I think belongs to Raphael. I’m guessing that this is where he stays when he doesn’t want to be disturbed. The condo includes multiple lavish bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, walk-in closet, and private terrace overlooking the sea. “Where is he, Carl?I want to be by his side when he wakes up. I can’t stay here alone, please take me to him” I begged.“As you wish, Miss Victoria. Come with me,” he told me. I filled behind him as he led me to the maste

POV: Victoria “How could you afford so much food, Vee?Did your billionaire boyfriend give you some money?” Claire teased me when I got back with a bowl of chicken soup, some rice, and some fruits I found in Ralph’s refrigerator. I was so pissed at him for calling me mean names and treating me so badly before his staff. I did not just pack my soup like he ordered, I packed way more than that. I raked his fridge and took whatever I wanted. I loaded my bags with enough food to last is a while. When I walked past him, I half expected him to stop me from leaving with his food and groceries. But he only scoffed and called me a gold digger. I didn’t flinch at his words this time, I think I’m getting used to it already. He can call me whatever he likes, but I have enough food to take care of my family until I resume work on Monday.“You should not have asked him for money for our groceries. We were doing just fine without him, don’t sell yourself cheaply. Don’t make him think you are simpl

POV: Victoria "I'm so sorry for what my mother did to you and your family. I can't change what happened, but I want to make it up to you. This weekend, there's a family gathering at my grandfather's estate. I want you to come with me and meet the rest of my family. I want them to see how amazing you are, and how much you mean to me."That is the kind of apology I expected, that is the kind of apology that any sane man would give to his woman after such an encounter with his mother. But Ralph only mentioned it and put it behind us as if it was nothing. Or maybe he was not informed that my mom and sister were present when it happened. Each time I want to get upset and bring it up again, I recall the shopping bags in the back seat of his car and I keep mute immediately. He may not have said the words, but this is one hell of an apology, it’s way better than words, trust me. He made me wear one of the outfits he got me from the mall. As I stood in front of the mirror, dressed in the re

POV: Raphael “No…No…It wasn’t me, I have nothing to do with the Hawkins business, I didn’t even know that you had a contract with them. Tell him, Mr Hawkins, tell him it wasn’t me.” I called out to Nathan, but he shook his head and excused himself from the room, “This is obviously a family matter and I don’t think my brother would appreciate it if I get involved in this matter. I’m sure you’ll find a way to resolve it, you sure know how to get out of sticky situations,” he mumbled as he walked out of the room, smiling to himself.“Hurt her dad, she did it to destroy us, she is vindictive and wicked. Let’s beat her up and lock her up,” Cindy yelled in my direction, urging her dad to hurt me. Nathan turned to offer a warm smile when he heard her voice, I guess he loves her attitude. Birds of the same feathers always find their way to each other. His gaze was more like an invitation to Cindy, she stopped yelling and turned to her mom for guidance. Her mom nodded in approval and she

POV: Raphael The moment I saw the timing, I realized it was done after I canceled his contract. He knows they have me now, he knows that with me on their side, they will fight for the company. That’s why he wants to destroy the company before they can get out of the hospital.“What do you need me to do?” Carl asked me as he got into my car and sat in the passenger seat.“Call the cops and go in there. Get that bastard arrested for hurting Victoria. Get her mom moved to a new room and place a guard outside her room. Let me know when it’s done.” I instructed Carl. nodded in understanding and stepped out of the car. I saw him making a call while he walked into the building. “Where do you want me?” Felix asked me after Carl left. He has been standing beside my car all this while, waiting for my instruction. “Get to the control room before anyone else does. I need the footage deleted. Make sure this incident is not published in the papers tomorrow.” I instructed him. He left as well an
