Chapter 1 No. 1

A black limousine pulled up in front of the grand City Hall. All the Paparazzi and the reporters present at that moment turned their cameras to the Car.

No one has to tell them who that was because only one person could make that entrance in any of the occasions he decided to grace.

A Guy in tattoos all around his hand, wearing a black suit and a black glasses stepped down from the front seat. He scanned everywhere with his hands fisted before opening the back door.

After the door was opened, Their long awaited Guest Stepped out from the car. But then, they were more confused when he extended his hand inside the car.

What could he be doing? Was what was running in their minds. Not until a Lady stepped down from the car. The camera's as if waiting for that moment, went in to action. Everyone was perplexed as soon as He wrapped his hands around the lady's waist.

He looked at the lady, Smiled at her and whispered something in to her ear before they started moving their steps. And of course, The cameras didn't miss that one.

" President Raymond Walter!" He paused and turned to the direction where his name was being called. " President Walter, Please tell us. Is This beautiful lady your girlfriend?" He looked at the lady Beside him and smiled before turning to the paparazzi.

" She's my girlfriend" With that said, He continued moving with the lady walking beside him and the Bodyguards walking side by side with them and behind them. Protecting them from anything that would harm them.

That was Raymond Walter, The first heir and the president of Walter's Conglomerate. Raymond's presence at the occasion with a girl was such a sight for everyone present at that moment and those that would see it on the news and the internet.

Unlike his brother who was always seen with different girls whom he claimed were his friends, Raymond was never seen with a girl ever Before. But that day, everyone was shocked when he said the lady was his girlfriend.

" Congratulations, Mr. Raymond" He got a lot of congratulations that day from different people present at the Hall. Raymond was in full spirit that day so, he shook hands and smiled with almost all the people there.

The Lady he was with wasn't comfortable in the midst of those people, you could see that just by looking at her. But Raymond, he wouldn't let her out of his side.

" Uhm Raymond, I want to use the restroom" She whispered in to his ear when they were away from the crowd. Raymond glanced at one of the guards and as if he understood him, he led the lady out of the hall.

" Could you wait right here? I'll be right back" She hurried inside the restroom and closed the door. " Oh my God!" She leaned her back on the door and took in a deep breath.

" This isn't what he told me" She made her way and stood in front of the mirror with her hand on her chest. Suddenly, her phone went off and she hurriedly took it out from her black diamond glittering bag.

" Valerie!" Someone screamed her name from the other end. She had to remove the phone from her ear before placing it back. " Would you just keep it down? You don't want me to turn dead, do you?" She scoffed.

" Come on girl, what was that you did just some minutes ago? You didn't tell me you have been seeing Raymond, The Raymond Walter!" She screamed.

" Come on Kia, Stop shouting in to my ear, Your voice is so Annoying you know that" She turned the faucet and used her right hand to cup some water in her hand.

" Valerie, tell me what I'm seeing in news right now isn't true" Valerie sighed, She turned of the faucet and stood upright.

" It's true, girl. But don't misunderstand. I'm only doing this to get back at my ex boyfriend and step sister for breaking my heart" She said.

" I don't get it. Can you elaborate on it, please?" Valerie smiled before pulling out a little powder kit from the bag. " Babe I..." She was interrupted by the beep from her phone. And when she checked who was calling, it was Raymond. " Kia, we'll talk when I return home. Bye" She hung up and Quickly powdered her face.

" What were you doing inside?" Came Raymond's voice as soon as Valerie stepped out from the restroom. She was so startled because he was leaning on the wall beside her that she didn't see him.

He stood upright with his hands inside his pocket, looking at her from his dark glasses. Valerie exhaled slowly and lowered her eyes. Even though he was on glasses, she couldn't stand his gaze.

" What was the agreement? You would always stay by myself" He stepped closer to her and she liked up her head. " Yes, Mr. Raymond. I'm sorry about that but I had to use the restroom" Valerie Smiled.

" Don't do this again, people will think we are faking it" He whispered in to her ear when he saw a group of girls coming to the restroom. Valerie smiled at him, she held his arm and they walked away from there.

What was he thinking? Of course they were faking it. Valerie thought but on her face, she was smiling like a teenager who has fallen in love.

That party finally came to an end after an eternity of music, dancing and drinking. Valerie was so hungry but she dared not say that to Raymond or the hell will let loose.

But immediately Raymond entered the car, Valerie tossed her bag on the seats facing them and sighed deeply.

" Raymond, You know this is torture, right?" She dropped her hands on her Waist. But he ignored her and she went on.
