Raina Williams

That blinding moment when you believe in love. The moment you fall in love you know he is the one you want to spend the rest of your life with because he whispers sweet nothings in your ear. He tells you the right things you want to hear, showers you with compliments and gifts. Your heart takes a leap of faith saying you know what maybe he is the one I have been waiting for my whole life.

Sadly.

That was me six years ago, I had just finished my last year of college and I was working on my internship at a international Law firm owned by the Le roux family originally from Netherlands.

I was twenty and ready for the beginning of my career as a criminal Lawyer...my passion. Mr.

Richard Le Roux was my boss, very easy to work with, although he was in his early fifties he had a lot of experience and was very enthusiastic about everything to do with law.

Everything was going smoothly at my internship for five months until the horror started, yes the horror itself. Angelo Le roux the so called heir to the multimillion company had just returned from London to summon his father's request.

That was initially the death of me, Angelo was a well know bachelor in Los Angeles by vogue and various magazines only twenty four at the time, with jet black hair, tanned skin, beautiful forest green eyes that were irrisistable... I fell fall him.

I know what you are thinking how cliché right?

When we had meetings with the board including his father, Richard...he would hold his gaze on me the entire time until it got to a point where he would show up in my office and enjoy each other’s kisses for a while well at that moment I wasn't thinking and I loved the danger and excitement of almost getting caught each and every time until I finally gave in and he broke my virginity from there it’s true what they say Once you pop you can’t stop.

Mr. Richard Le roux was quite fond of me, and he would invite me to family brunches and venues because he said he saw his young self in me so I became a family friend and that was effective for Angelo and I as we would fuck in the mansion, my office, at his penthouse, in his office, boardroom, conference room well everywhere. It was all fun and games until I got pregnant...

with twins.

Raina Williams.

I was pregnant with twins, well why was I surprised it was something that was normal in the Le roux family. Angelo himself had a twin sister Alma Le roux, a very nice outgoing woman she became a good friend as time went by.

Flashback

"Angelo I can't , not today." I panted as Angelo unbuttoned my blouse while kissing my neck, it felt so good but I needed to get something off my chest first...it had been two months already and I couldn't hide it anymore. The morning sickness wasn't taking it easy on me especially during office hours and minor mood swings. My colleagues were stating to question what was going on.

"Come on, Raina." He continued kissing me all along, I avoided him telling him things like it was that time of the month or any excuse possible but knowing Angelo he never backed down, he would still insist

knowing due to our lust, we had fucked while on my period multiple times mostly in their shower... that's how intimate we were, like a married couple.

"Angelo, I'm pregnant." I blurted out and he immediately stopped and my heart hammered against my chest for his reaction. He walked back and forth around my office frustrated he racked through his black hair and I started crying while buttoning my blouse. Damn these hormones.

"We always use protection !!" He said more as a way of convincing himself, Yes we did and I was always on the pill. Somehow I didn't want to admit that there where times I had forgotten to take them. I always pressured him to use a condom but he always insisted, he was sleeping with anyone else and I could trust him. Also because he wanted to feel me.

"Yes, but we didn't have them so you said you would pull out." I sobbed hiccuping on my words.

"How long are you?" He strayed from the conversation.

" 6 weeks." I said stropping.

"You can remove it." He said coldly and I gasped.

"I can't." I said sniveling.

"Raina, listen to me... You will remove that thing because I don't want it." I cried even more standing in my corner and he was sublime about the whole situation.

"Don't worry I will pay for it." He said in a low voice.

"But Angelo, I love you and we could be together and we won't have to abort our baby." I sobbed my eyes becoming red.

"Raina, listen it's not Ours that's your responsibility and secondly I'm sorry I can't return those feelings...we fucked that's all there was to it." He spat coldly and my heart broke it a million pieces making me cry even more when he left banging my office door.

End of Flashback

As expected Angelo didn't want the baby, so I asked Mr.

Richard for a leave from work...concerned he asked what was wrong but I lied through my teeth Angelo was already mad as it is but one thing I knew was I wasn't going to kill my babies, so I left Los Angeles and went back to Ohio to be with my family.

I was broken and all I wanted was to be with my family. I surly explained to my parents the whole ideal, my father Marco Williams a pastor in our small town was disappointed but being raised as a preachers kid, I knew abortion was not an option.

My parents promised to help me whenever I needed help.

For the rest of the nine months, I went out every Sunday for my father's church service as expected but the other days I would be curled up in bed crying my eyes out while watching Love Rosie over and over again with a bucket of ice cream.

I craved chocolate and vanilla ice cream more than anything. Then I thought you know what maybe I can do this without him. I will take care of my twins, love them more than anything, life would continue.

I was already in love with my babies, from the first ultra sound. The first time they kicked....

I couldn't help but think you should have been here.

In those nine months Angelo only contacted me once to ask if I removed it, his exact words and I replied with yes and with that I never heard from him again. I was so easy to forget.

Twenty second of September, twenty eleven, my two beautiful Angels were born. The most beautiful beings, on this living earth. My mom, Sarah Williams was there with me in the delivery room while I almost broke her knuckles. My father was outside praying in the hospital corridors with my little brother Karl Williams playing video games.

My second day in hospital, I decided to name them Ashley and Ashton suddenly the person I thought I would never see again walked in and my heart froze. How did he know ? I was shocked more than relieved, he didn't have the right. He had abandoned me. A part of me jumped with joy that he would apologise, kiss me, propose to me then we could the happy family I always thought about ever since I got pregnant.

"Raina, I called him we both know you can't do this alone." My mom wheedled.

"Mom, you know he doesn't want them." I said my eyes becoming blurry.

"Raina, I'm sorry." He said standing on the side of my hospital bed then Richard and his wife Martha Le roux walked in with flowers and teddy bears.

"Oh my Raina they are so cute." Alma, Angelo's twin sister squirmed looking the twins who were peacefully asleep.

"Raina thank you for not having an abortion, you know you are like a daughter to Martha and i. Why didn't you tell us?" Richard genuinely said.

After that everything was settled Angelo said he would take responsibility, we would be going back to Los Angeles. If it wasn't for my parent's calling Angelo, things would be a lot complicated. I forgave Angelo but even in my pain of after giving birth he still reminded me that there absolutely nothing between us... and that hurt because I loved him.

After a year, I went back to the gym, back to work, moved out of Angelo's place into my own modern apartment with four bedrooms, huge kitchen, lounge, two bathrooms and a balcony with the most beautiful view. I basically got my life back on track and no one would even think I gave birth a year ago because my body was on fleek.

I went back to taking clients as a criminal lawyer, it was hard being a full time mom to twins and working on my cases of cause Angelo would help out and his parents too. I was grateful.

Present time.

"Mommy, Ashton removed the powerpuff girls." Ashley snuffles into my office with her blonde hair up to her shoulders and blue eyes staring sadly at my own brown eyes.

"Baby, go tell him to put it back okay?" I smile and she nods going back to the lounge as I turn back to my lap top trying to crack this case of my client Derrick Collins charged with homicide.

"Mom, Ashley removed teen titans." Ashton stormed into my office for five year olds, these dumplings are quite voluble. His blonde quiff messier than ever and his green eyes looking at mine for attention.

"Anyways its time for bed... so no one will be watching any cartoons." I stand up leading both of their grumpy faces to their rooms. Once they are both asleep, I head back to my office.

The past four years haven't been easy but Angelo and I managed to give our babies whatever they needed and they absolutely understand that mommy and daddy are not together so every weekend they spend time with their father then I have them for a full week well only in the evening because they go to kindergarten through out the day otherwise everything is perfect.

not perfect.

perfect would be you and Angelo raising your kids as a family. my subconscious mocked me. Deciding that it is late and I should get some sleep, I head to my bedroom suddenly Angelo calls and I'm forced to answer.

Forced to answer because if it were up to me I would ignore but it might be important.

"Hey..." I vaguely greet through the receiver..

"Hey Raina, just wanted to remind you that tomorrow I will be taking the twins out." He says enthusiastically, he loves the twins, you could tell from a mile away.

"Uhm okay." I say with a yawn, its midnight I need to sleep.

"They will be meeting my girl friend, Yaya." He gabbles.

"What ?!?" I say vociferously.

"She isn't replacing you Raina, you will always be their mother." I could literally picture him rolling his beautiful green eyes, clenching his jaw while saying this.

shut up.

"I can't believe you right now." I frown at the thought of them playing happy family with this Yaya.

"I'm sorry but at least now you know."

He isn't sorry.

"Wow like that actually makes things any better." I say sarcastically.

"It does because I don't want you to get any hopes up." He says confidently. A part of me weeps because I know it's true. No matter how many girls I see Angelo with, there is always that hope that it's temporary and one day we will be a family.

hopeless romantic.

"What do you mean ?" I frown.

"I know you are inlo" I cut him off.

"Actually I'm happy for you Angelo at least you will stop being a male little whore sticking that dick anyone that fits and get settled down." I gush out before hanging up. I quickly receive a text.

you forget you used to accommodate this dick. Angelo

what an Asshole.

I think to myself before closing my eyes. Hopefully my babies don't get introduced to a strumpet (prostitute). Yaya is a stupid name.

Woke up early and got ready for work wearing my black pencil skirt and white blouse tucked in, as well as my black heels then added light make up and tying my hair into a bun, I was ready to run the day.

"Morning Miss Raina." Maya greeted me in the most sincere way.

"Morning Maya." I smiled walking into the kitchen sitting on the kitchen island stools. Maya is in her late forties, she occasionally takes care of the twins when I'm busy or when Angelo is busy. She is very nice and friendly and her advises are always the best.

"So Angelo will be picking up the twins later on..." I frown.

"Oh, Raina why do you seem unhappy ?" She says wiping the island with a white cloth, she doesn't have to but she just loves tiding up. She is like my second mother here in Los Angeles.

"He is going to introducing them to his girlfriend." I muttered.

"That's wonderful is it not ? " she gushed.

"I guess." I shrugged more Ike rolled my eyes.

"You always wanted him to stop being a play boy so he could be a good example to his kids." She convinced.

"Yes but now that its finally happening I don't know how to feel about it."

That should be me, this is so sad.

"I understand but just be happy he is changing for them." She assured me with a smile.

"Well you are right, thank you Maya." I hugged her. "Let me get going, Derrick Collins is not going to be happy about the news I have for him." I stood up grabbing my laptop bag and car keys from the counter.

"He deserves what ever news that are coming for him, Raina don't forget he is a murderer." Maya spat.

"Everyone is innocent till proven guilty." I flounced out of the kitchen heading out before Maya continues arguing.

"Bye Maya." I yelled as I went inside the elevator that went down to the basement.

Maybe Maya is right, Angelo has been wild and unsettled...the media knows him for all the wrong things but at least he is making the effort to change maybe just maybe this woman is exactly what he needs to become a better person.

You couldn't do that.

Maybe I wasn't the person for him, my feelings never faded he was my first love and I don't think its easy to try and move on from that even though he reminds me all the time that there will never be a us. I always assumed the twins would bring us together but not really.

Its quite sad, the things we do for love.

Raina Williams

"Unfortunately Mr. Collins I have bad news and good news !" I clarified to the man who was sat across me in a prison visiting room.

"Let's hear it." He said in a grumpy voice, I couldn't blame him though if I was in jail for two weeks and my lawyer comes to visit me with nothing but bad news I would fire them on the spot.

"Our appeal for bail was denied." I said not proud of it at all.

"What ??!? So how long am I going to stay here for a crime I didn't commit. This is bullshit, you are not doing your job dammit !" He raised his voice making the other visitors and prisoners stare at us including the guards. I hate this place it gives me the chills it's so dried out the only colours that brighten the place up are the orange uniforms for the prisoners as for the guards they are so intimidating.

"A crime you didn't commit, that's rich coming from you." I said sarcastically earning a cold glare. "If you didn't hit and run an innocent young man then you wouldn't be here... now would you Mr. Collins ?"

"You are not paid to judge me missy !" He retorted and I nodded.

"Anyways since you were not granted bail this means our trial date will be moved closer unlike if you had received bail." I said calmly.

"That doesn't make it any better." He grumbled.

"I know but please Mr. Collins just hang in there." I added.

"Hang in there ?" He gave me a sardonic laugh. "I will be hanging on a rope soon enough straight to hell."

"Trust me, i will get you out of here." I laid my hand on top of his.

"No physical contact with inmates." The guard shouted and I jumped in my seat clearly caught off guard.

"I feel like an animal." He sighed rubbing his grey and black hair. Mr. Collins was a well know business man in Los Angeles that was until he committed this gruel some crime. He is my client and I will do whatever just can to get him out if this mess.

One night he was drunk and he accidentally hit and run on a man named Eric Winters... and now he might be charged with homicide if I don't work harder on this case. This was a television sensation as he was well known everyone accused him of murder but as a lawyer I don't judge I just do whatever it is to defend my client.

"Don't worry...we will go through this together as long as we can prove that you were not in your right mind and that Eric was also drunk he just crossed the street without thinking." I assured him with scenarios I had been working on.

"Please Raina call me Derrick and I'm really sorry about the outburst."

"Its okay Derrick besides I asked a sample of DNA from Eric's body so we can see if there was any sign of drugs or alcohol."

"Okay." He mumbled.

"Derrick be positive, I will not let you die in this rotten Hades you will be a free man." I genuinely said.

"Thank you Raina." He sighed.

"That's what I'm here for right." I chuckled a bit and he did as well.

"Well let me get going..." I said.

"Raina you should meet my son, Grayson...just assure him that everything will be okay and you know he really needs a friend at this moment." He shrugged.

"Erm sure I can do that but I didn't know you had a son." I glanced at him suspiciously.

"I do, from my previous marriage."

"Oh alright, I will inform you of any changes Derrick, stay well if you are mistreated let me know I will assign you for a transfer as soon as possible."

"Its okay Raina, now get out of here so you can work on getting this old geyser out of here." He chuckled standing up as the guard handcuffed him my heart bleed.

"You are only fifty four, what are you saying." I laughed, he replied but I didn't quite get what he said as he was being taken away. My only thoughts were I should really work hard and get Derrick out of here.

As I arrived at my apartment the twins weren't there but Angelo would bring them back in about an hour before eight then we can discuss things. I changed into comfortable clothes sweatpants and a Tshirt while I searched for any other clues on Derrick's homicide case. Just in time there was a knock on the door, I jumped knowing it was Angelo. I remained stoical as I saw Angelo arrive with his mistress.

I was hoping to catch him alone.

"Uhm hi." I greeted her and she smiled back. She was blonde and looked like a model. She had Kylie Jenner lips, they didn't look natural at all. The way she pursed her lips made me want to gag, i wasn't a fan of fake eyelashes but she certainly was.

Her eyebrows were a little way outdone for my own liking and the way Angelo looked at her like she is the only thing that mattered made me want to sulk or send her far far away from here if I could.

My face always talked, even if my mouth had not said anything. My face described exactly how I was feeling about a person.

I wasn't sorry about that, at least till now.

"Raina, this is Yasmine. Yaya this is Raina." Angelo introduced us.

"Nice to finally meet you." She hugged me out of the blue then giggled. "I’m such a hugger, I'm sorry." she said quickly making Angelo give me the 'wow look at her, she is adorable isn’t she ?' look. "Your kids are so beautiful now I see where they get it from." She gushed.

Okay so she is nice, a bit sweet..

I can't hate her.

Angelo pretended to be hurt by the comment then she kissed his cheek and whispered something in his ear that made him lick his lips.

Eew.

"Oh please come in." I snarled and honestly Angelo has never treated me like that ever.

He did give you loads of kisses, while thrusting into you. my inner voice mocked.

Because you were a girl he fucked in office for fun. My conscience added.

"Can I get you anything ?" I asked.

"Uhm no, I just came to introduce you to Yaya, we actually have a reservation waiting." Angelo smirked at his Yaya.

"Oh okay and the twins ?" I said concerned.

"They are at my parents house, I will pick them up tomorrow." He said before leaving me there stupefied so he really just came to flaunt his girlfriend in my face.

Ouch.

"Well enjoy your dinner." I muttered more to myself closing the door shut and sliding down to my knees.

I didn't want to feel sad but I couldn't help it.

"My babies, I missed you already..." I hugged the energetic twins as they both ran in my arms. They make everything worth it, even having to deal with their father and his bullshit, they make it all worth it.

After the long hug, I stood up straight to acknowledge the man standing in front of me, looking devilishly handsome just like the first time we met, its like he gets younger by the day.

"Maya already prepared your breakfast so go say hi to aunty Maya." I said to Ashton and Ashley and at the sound of Maya they scurried off, they loved her a lot sometimes I'd even became jealous but I love Maya too she is truly amazing.

"Morning Raina." Angelo greeted and I couldn't help but feel affected by the way he talks to me, it sends thrills all over my body, I hate it...

"Morning..." I replied at the awkward scene which I did not want to endure any longer.

"So how was your dinner ?" I decided to ask sincerely. If she makes him happy then why should I be step mother in this Cinderella story.

Because you love him.

No I don't.

Yes you do.

Shut up, I'm getting over him. I debated with my mocking conscience.

"It was wonderful, thanks for asking." He paused playing with his car keys.

"My mom said you should give her a call." He cleared his throat.

Angelo's mother was always so nice to me, she is like a second mother honestly.

"I will." I smiled. Things have just been awkward between us since that phone call or rather since he got a girl friend.

"Well let me get going." He concluded heading out the door.

"Bye." I muttered when the door closed.

The day was spent with myself and my two angels watching movies well rather cartoons and lazily talking about most of their encounters of the week.

"So what did you do at granny's house ?" I genuinely asked.

"We baked cookies but Ashton didn't bake, he only wanted to eat." Ashley sticked out her tongue at Ashton who simply shrugged before saying "Baking is for girls."

"But its fun." I tried reasoning.

"Sometimes..." Ashton deadpanned while playing video games which he practically played everyday any chance he got but that would have to change because they would be starting first grade soon.

Sometimes I saw more of Angelo in Ashton than myself, the way is realistic about everything and never fails to act mature like when Ashton told Ashley that Santa doesn't exist...I mean how does a five year old come to that conclusion honestly I had a feeling Angelo was behind it maybe he told my baby all that crushing his imagination almost immediately.

Well Ashley is like me, she has a hard time making friends unlike Ashton and she is so observant about other people's feelings like when she asked me if I loved her daddy, I lied and said no but they both know that this is how things will always be between mommy and daddy. Leaving twins to do whatever they were occupied with I decided to call Angelo's mother.

"Hi Martha." She always interjected that I call her Martha than Mrs. Le roux.

"Oh goodness is this Raina." She said in awe.

"Yes, I was just checking up on you." I smiled sitting next to the island in the kitchen.

"Are you okay dear ?" She suddenly asked sensing sadness in my voice which I'm trying so hard to hide.

"I'm fine, how are you ?" I strayed.

"I'm fine Raina after spending the day with my two favourite grandchildren, I couldn't be more happy."

"They always love to visit you."

"You should come to dinner tomorrow, just Alma and her husband, you and the twins as well as Angelo and Yaya." My heart stopped at the last mention.

"I would love to but I wouldn't want to intrude, I'm sure I can just drop off the twins."

"Don't be Silly, Raina you are part of the family you wouldn't be a intruder."

"I will see if I can make it."

"Of course you can, I haven't seen you in a while it would be great just to catch up....Richard and I will not take no for an answer."

"Okay fine." I said after thinking about all the excuses in the book to come up with.

"I can't wait dear." She said excitedly.

"Same here." I lied.

How awkward will it be with Yaya there !

"Don't worry yourself about Yaya, this is just a phase my son is going through, he will soon realise you are the one for him." She convinced.

"I hope so." I said biting my bottom lip.

"You know, a mother always knows what's best for their children and Angelo belongs with you."

"But let's not jump into conclusions." I supervened a grin sprawled across my face. Any girl would be very lucky if their mother in law or so spoke to them like that.

"I have to go dear. Take care." She said.

"Okay Martha see you soon." I smiled before hanging up.

Raina Williams

It was finally the day of the dinner, I was nervous and didn't know what to expect. Well I had been to many dinners and lunches with the Le roux family but this particular one was different because Angelo would be having his girl friend Yasmine over there. Sadly, that should be me.

I parked in the spacious parking that I have gotten used to and familiar with, even the Security of the Le roux's doesn't even question me anymore whenever I come around.

"Ashton, Ashley...babies wake up we are at your Grandparents house." I whispered waking them up gently. They looked so peaceful as they both squinted their beautiful eyes looking at our surroundings.

I opened the drivers door as soon as I was out I opened the passenger door at the back.

"I can't wait to eat granny's blueberry pie." Ashton muttered stepping out of my Silver Land Rover. I don't know I guess I always had a thing for big cars.

"All you do is eat Ashton. Grandpa said you will be fat." Ashley replied a glint of innocence written on their faces as they argued which I got used to because it happened on a daily basis.

In about twenty minutes later we were all sat in the dining room.

Alma with her husband Kennedy, who worked at his father's real estate company but it was soon to be his anyways besides that Kennedy Michaelson is a nice and kind young man and a great husband sometimes I find myself envying my own close friend Alma Le roux.

She might have shared the same womb with Angelo but they are nothing like each other. On the other side Martha and Robert Le roux were sat together then of course Yaya and Angelo.

He didn't look happy at all when he saw me. I knew I wasn't welcome, when he pulled his mother to the kitchen to talk about me obviously as for Yaya she was dressed all elegant and she made my self esteem drop a little. I was dressed in a red knee length dress that shaped my figure and curves with black heels. As we ate there was a lot of tension around the table even though Richard tried lightening up with his jokes and Alma too but nothing would work. I really felt out of place.

I will always be the girl who got impregnated by her Boss's arrogant son.

The gracious family talked about all sorts of things and Yaya just seemed to fit in perfectly since she mentioned originating from Netherlands meaning she could speak dutch with the Le roux's

Perfect.

"Raina, so how is the Derrick case going ?" Richard tried adding me to the conversation.

"Its going well." I smiled then looked down at my not touched food.

"Raina, I'm actually working on a business collection for women and you have the perfect body for it." Yaya commented I had recently learned that she is a fashion designer by profession.

Suddenly Angelo coughed and I knew he wasn't happy about the idea.

"Honestly for someone who has been in the maternity ward you have a ravishing body Raina." Alma added.

"I'm jealous too dear." Martha added.

"Thank you, but Yaya I have to pass." I said in the most nicest way possible.

The twins were done eating and wanted to go and play with the dog Fierdo. Richards dog, he's quite the animal lover like his grandchildren. When the twins left Angelo cleared his throat as if he wanted to say something and I knew damn well it wasn't going to be splendid.

"Can I just make something clear ?" He said.

"Go ahead son." Richard spoke and everyone else nodded.

"Especially Raina." He sighed looking frustrated at the thought of my name... does he hate me that much ?

"Honestly I don't know why you were invited to this dinner because it was meant for Yaya."

My breath hitched as he continued. Everyone looked shocked by his choice of words but it was honestly expected. I knew I had it coming but I just didn't expect him to be so heartless. This was the man, I had been madly inlove with

"Don't meddle in my family, just stop meddling. Raina just because I made you pregnant doesn't mean I married you. I know you are inlove or rather obsessed with me but just move on stop forcing yourself on me or my family.

I don't love you Raina and I never loved you and its likely never to happen ever. If I could get you out of my life I would trust me but I know the twins need their mother. I only tolerate you for their sake nothing else.

Now, i would really appreciate if you stopped interfering in my personal relationships. Everywhere I go.. you're there. I can't even have piece of mind or space for fucks sake. You are always at my dad's company, with my mom...

I have to see everywhere even when the kids aren't involved which is honestly really draining for me."

I'm stupid.

Was all I could think, very stupid. Mixed emotions was all I felt but mostly pain, everyone was just as shocked as I was except Yaya who kept giving Angelo an encouraging smile. This was it, my official gut wrenching moment.

"Uhm excuse me." I mumbled feeling my eyes get heavy with tear under my eyes.

Good lord Raina you can't cry in front of them.

"Raina" Martha stood up trying to stop me but Angelo was right, its time I moved on. But will I ever ?

"Its okay Martha, thank you for the wonderful supper. I hope it won't be too much trouble if I left the twins....I just need to be alone." I swallowed the last words, I have to go before I cry.

"Its okay, honey." Martha hugged me.

"Go rest Raina, the twins will be fine." Richard stood up to hug me as well as Kennedy and Alma.

"Stop spoon feeding her for God's sake, she is a grown ass woman." Angelo spat bitterly.

As soon as I realized my body had betrayed me my eyes were flowing with tears I quickly pulled back.

"I have to go...thanks again." I muttered before walking out the door.

I think I heard Yaya say something between the lines.

"Well done babe, you really put her in her place."

I shuddered at the thought that it was her idea or rather their idea.

This is the last time I will cry for a man especially Not Angelo !

Raina Williams

It's been over a month, everything is splendid. I met up with Derrick's son Grayson, such a nice young man. He made me laugh and cry while laughing which I hadn't done in quite a while.

He was hesitant to meet me but I told him that I would do everything to help his father's case.

Fact is Derrick wouldn't be coming out of prison but the least I could do is get him a minimum sentence then if he serves nine months I will push for parole otherwise he will be serving Life imprisonment or twenty five years and more.

Not to mention, I kept my word and distance throughout this past month, I didn't see Angelo. I avoided him for as long as I could after all its for the best. I also stopped talking to Alma and his parents honestly it's true I meddled quite a lot. If I was in his shoe's I would do the same thing, all I have to do now is keep my promise.

"Miss. Williams.." Nadia walked in my office.

"Yes, Nadia." I smiled going through some documents.

"Mr. Le roux insists on seeing you today." She said. Nadia was a nineteen year old, varsity student but was quite good at her job and I appreciated that she never let down.

"I can't, I'm busy with the Derrick case. Just tell him we can discuss it on the phone." I was quick to reply.

"Raina, you have been busy for a month." A voice interrupted. I looked up only to meet his forest green eyes. "Besides we can't always discuss everything over the phone." He walked over to sit on the leather couch on the other side of my office further from my mahogany table.

"I will leave you to it then, Oh Miss Williams... Grayson said dinner at eight pm sharp." Nadia smirked. I knew what she was doing, I had recently told her what happened because I was all grumpy. I couldn't keep everything bottled up after i told her everything I felt so much better. She is really nice to talk to, sometimes I forget that I'm older.

"Uhm okay, Nadia you may leave." She stuck her tongue out before leaving.

"So I found some schools that I think you will love, they are the best." I rambled walking over to where he was sitted looking at me closely. I was wearing my usual black pencil skirt that hugged my body and my white blouse that was tucked in smartly and loosely hanged below my abdomen. I usually wore my spectacles in the office so maybe he just realised how ugly I was compared to his fashion designer girl friend but that didn't matter. Life goes on.

"Well I actually wanted to talk about something else." He muttered.

"Uhm is it about the twins ?" I asked nervously but kept a stern look.

"Not really." I sighed.

"Then it doesn't matter." I smiled and he seemed befuddled, its just I promised myself that the only thing that brought us together was the twins and that's all we should ever discuss about.

"So this is the schedule I made." I handed him a copy.

"You take the twins two weekends a month then I have them on one weekend of the month. It's either you pick them up or Maya drops them off." I explained he looked stunned.

"But which means we never see each other." He mumbled.

"Uhm yeah that's the point we won't have to tolerate each other at all." I smiled. "You can run it past your lawyer if you like ?" I suggested.

"No, it's fine." He sighed.

"I knew you would like it." I gave a goofy smile but he seemed annoyed anyways after this he wont even see me that much anyways...

"So which school did you have in mind for their first grade ?"

He looked at me intensely before asking.

"Who is Grayson ?"

"Oh that's Derrick's son, he has been helping me with the case and stuff." I replied casually.

"Oh, I just thought he was you" I cut him off.

"No.." I chuckled. "You should know love is not for me honestly." I laughed but he didn't respond.

"Uhm, let's just get back to the twins." I said awkwardly trying to avoid the change of subject.

"You know seeing you like this reminds me of"

"Please don't say it." I mumbled looking away from his intense gaze.

"Park town or Roosevelt ?" I tried changing the subject, we were about to enter, I didn't want to be reminded of if stupid I was.

"Park town I guess." He ran his hand through his hair.

"Its Park town then." I said standing up. I liked the school it was quite expensive so was Roosevelt but only the best for my babies.

"So when is our next meeting ?" He asked standing up.

"I don't know, its not really necessary for us to meet if we stick to the schedule."

"Okay I will see you then." He followed me to where I was standing.

Don't be stupid.

I told myself as he stepped closer. He was about to do something we were going to regret the next day. "Uhm you should probably go Angelo." I moved back but I was backed up by my mahogany table.

"Angelo please." I murmured when I felt his breath on my neck.

"Fuck Raina, you don't know how hard it is to stay away from you." He whispered in my ear laying sloppy kisses on my neck which really sent me on the edge.

"Its for the best, I'm doing my part please commit to yours."

I knew all I ever was a sex machine to him, to calm him whenever he is frustrated.

"I can't, its hard." He kissed my jawline.

wow, ironic... it's hard, that's all I'm good for.

"Angelo you have the most beautiful girlfriend, you love her and she loves you don't ruin it because of some bitch you used to fuck in the office."

"Don't say that."

"Its true and I have accepted it so don't feel bad." I smiled.

Suddenly my phone rang then he pulled away before walking out with a sad look on his face.
