(Noah P.O.V)

"Trin, Trin," I heard my alarm rings and, I shut it off. I stretch my body with a yawn. I rub my eyes to drive away, the remaining sleep from it. I go to the washroom to wash my face, brush my teeth and put a t-shirt on. I walk downstairs. I prepare my protein drink and kept it in the fridge to cool it down. I grab a bottle of water and walk out of my house for a morning walk.

While returning home, I call my PI and tell him to find all the information about Raven as soon as possible. I know what you guys are thinking, that why I am asking my PI to find all the information about her when I already have a file full of her information from the place I brought her, but a man can never be too cautious, and I don't want to take any risk because any stupid step can not only cause me to lose my fortune but it will also affect mine and my family reputation.

When I enter the kitchen, I saw my chief Marry, making breakfast for us.

"Good morning, Marry," I said walking towards the fridge to grab my protein drink.

"Good, morning sir, what do you like to have for breakfast?" she asks me.

"What do you like to eat for breakfast, Raven?" I ask her when I saw her walking out of her room.

"I would eat anything, but not pancakes," she said with a yawn and seat on the table.

"Why, you don't like pancakes?" I ask her amused by her answer.

"No, not at all," she said while making a funny face and shaking her head at me.

"Why, may I ask, if you don't mind?" I ask her with a chuckle.

"It's a long story," she said with a smile on her face.

"I have all-time in the world," I said smiling at her.

"When I was 14, and my brother was 16 years old, my parents leave us alone in the home, to attend the party, we were hungry, and we also don't have any money order anything from outside, so I decided to cook something for us, I decided to make pancakes since it was the easiest thing to make, I make a pancake and asks my brother to eat it, he did and when I ask him how was it, he said it was okay, so after making him some, I decided to make some chocolate pancaked for myself, I make two normal pancakes melt the dark chocolate and spread it on it, and join then and when I take a bite of it... " she trails off and shakes her head while making a disgusting face.

"I guess, you don't like it, huh?" I ask with a chuckle.

"Yes, and then I made a vow to never make it or eat it," she said again shaking her head making me laugh at her antics.

"So, what else you know to cock?" I ask her.

"Huh, let me see, I can cook Pasta, Manchurian, meatballs, spaghetti, Omlet, soup, Fries, Chicken, salad..." she said while counting in her finger and I see her eyes sparks with elite she, really loves cooking. After some time, Marry comes and serves us our breakfast and we get to know more about each other, generally, her asking about my family, friends, and business. We talk for some time and then go to our room to start our day.

I take a bath, get ready for the office, and walk downstairs and wait for Raven to come into the living room. While she gets ready, I call my best friend sister Myra and explain everything to her.

"And Myra, please make sure, you buy her the latest iPhone, she maybe hesitates to buy it," I told her.

"Will do, so when are you going to introduce her to your family?"  she asks me.

"I don't know, I haven't come up with the story to tell them, maybe after's a month or two, it will also stop my mother getting suspicious of me having a girlfriend suddenly for my father's company," I said to her.

"Okay, Listen I will call you later, see you at the mall okay?" she asks and I said bye then hang up on her."Here, this is my credit card, I will drop you to the mall, and the driver will pick you up and drop you home," I said passing my credit card to her.

"But I have everything I need with me," she protests.

"I know, but since you are going to be my wife, you are going to need fancier and designer clothes to wear at the party and conference with me," I said still stretching my hand with a credit card in my hand and she hesitantly take it from my hands.

"But I don't have good taste in clothes, I know that's why I have already called my personal, designer and she said she will be waiting for us in the mall, she will help you with it okay," I ask and she nodded at me.

It takes half an hour to reach the mall. I park my car and take her to the food court to wait for my friend.

"What's taking her so long?" I ask my self and look at my watch. It's been more than 15 minutes and she hasn't come yet.

"Do you mind if I ask you a question?" I heard Raven asks me while taking a sip of her ice tea.

"Yes, what is it?" I ask her.

"You have some female friends right?" she asks and I narrowed my eyes at her, where she is going with this conversation, I thought but still give her the answer she needs.

"Yes, why?" I ask.

"Then why don't you marry one of them? I mean that they know that you are their friend and they would have known it, right? they won't denial to help you right?" she asks and I can't help but laugh at her question. God! she is too innocent for her own, good.

"Good question, my love but don't you think my mother will get suspicious that I am marrying them right after I read my father's will?" I ask her and she just made an 'O' face, making her laugh at her cuteness.

"God! your so cute," I said pinching her cheeks. And she blushes bright red.

"Sorry, guys I am late," Myra said running towards us and panting in front of us.

"What makes you so long?" I ask scowling at her.

"I meet a client on the way, and she just didn't let me go," she whines making us laugh.

"I miss you, you should make some time for us," she said and hug me.

"But we have just recently met at my father's funeral," I said confused and patted her back.

"I know, but you and Nick were always busy,  and whenever you guys make some time, you always go outside with guys and leave us girls alone," she whines again.

"Okay, okay, next time we will invite you, girls, with us okay," I said smiling at her.

"Okay," she said smiling at me.

"Okay, Myra meets Raven, Raven this is Myra, my friend, and my best friend Nick's small sister," I said introducing them to each other.

"Now, I will leave her in your care, take care of her, and you remember what I said right?" I ask Myra.

"Yeah, I remember, don't worry I will take good care of her," She said smiling at me. I said goodbye to them and walks out of there.

 (Raven P.O.V)

As we wait for his friend, this question keeps roaming around my mind. Should I ask him or not? Finally giving up I ask him.

“Do you mind if I ask you a question?” I ask taking a sip of my ice tea.

“Yes, what is it?” he asks.

“You have some female friends right?” I ask him and he narrowed his eyes at me but answer my question anyway.

“Yes, why?” he asks me.

“Then why don’t you marry one of them? I mean that they know you better than me and that you don’t believe in Love, right? they won’t denial to help you, right?” I ask him and he laughs at my question. What is so funny, I thought.

“Good question, my love, but don’t you think my mother will get suspicious that I am marrying them right after I read my father’s will?” he asks me and I Just make an ‘O’ face.

“God! You’re so cute,” he said pinching my face and, I blush beet red.

“Sorry, guys I am late,” a blonde with light blue tips in her hair said running towards us and panting in front of us.

“What makes you so long?” He asks scowling at her.

“I meet a client on the way, and she just didn’t let me go,” she whines making us laugh.

“I miss you, you should make some time for us,” she said and hug him.

“But, we have just recently met at my father’s funeral,” Noah said hugging her back.

“Yeah but you were so busy, in moring your father, and thinking about your father’s will, that you hardly talk to us other than your father and his will, ” She said pouting at him.

“Okay, I will try to take make some time for you guys, any way Myra meet Raven, Raven this is my friend Myra, she is my best friend Nicks’s sister,” Noah said introducing us to each other.

“Now, I will leave her at your care, take care of her, and you remember what I said to you right? ” Noah asks her.

“Yes, I remembered, and don’t worry I will take good care of you,” Myra said smiling at her, Noah bid goodbye to us and walk out from there.

“So do you have, the credit card, Noah give to you?” she asks smiling at me, I nodded my head at her, and take the credit card out of my bag and give it to her.

“So tell me about your self, Raven, how did you end up in that awful place?” Myra asks me.

“My stepmother sells me to that lady for the money,” I said with a scowl on my face.

“What about your father? Didn’t he tried to stop her?” she asks while walking towards to store.

“He died due to cancer, and it’s not like he would able to do anything for me if he was there, he hardly said or do anything when it come to her and let her do anything she wants, as long as she feeds us and did not kick us out of the house, ” I said to her.

“Well that all about tell, me, about yourself, how long did you and Noah know each other?” I ask, to change the topic from me to her, not want to talk about that awful woman.

“From childhood, our parents we good friends and have a long history, however, did not tell us anything about it, whenever we ask them about it,” she said to me.

“Maybe because, they consist of bad memories,”
