Chapter 13 - Anniversary night

Vera puts on the face mask without hesitation, "we good 👎" Vera says smiling, Grey didn't reply, he assists her with opening the door, Vera steps out gently from the car, seeing lot of photographers, scares her, but she knows she will be fine as long as Grey is here, she closes the door waiting for Grey to do his u turn, Grey meets Vera were she stood, all Vera could hear is, "it is Mr. Grey, one of the youngest business tycoon", a lot of praises about Grey, some photographers gets ready to take this to blog society, "Mr. Grey comes to his parents anniversary with his girlfriend" but Grey always smart and quick action, gives them an intense glare, most of the bloggers that has an experience of Grey's wrath respects their selves but they will surely be a black sheep, Grey walks towards the person breaking his equipment, "I warned you" was all Grey said bed going back to the position where he left his wife.

Vera is still as shock as hell, "Grey, what was that for?" Vera asks him as they walk to wards the hall entrance, but Grey did not give her an answer, "they are other ways of doing things, why break his equipment? that was wrong" Vera continues, she is really getting at the way Grey is reacting to this, no answer, no guilt on his face, just as normal as ever, "we are late and it's because of you, one more word from you, you will get a proper punishment" Grey tells Vera inform of a threat, from someone who didn't hear what he said will thinking he was taking something from her face, which some thought, it was romantic but on the other hand, Vera sees this as a threat, Vera is very this point but she can't let out, she's in public.

Grey takes her to an isolated seat, "I will be back sit here" Grey says leaving her alone to herself, she looks around seeing different people on their expensive dress but the ladies caught her eyes, most of them were beautiful and elegant, "awnn lucky bitch" she mutters.

"uuhhh", that word diverts Vera's attention to the direction where she heard the exclamation, she turns to her left seeing an unfamiliar, "who are you?" Vera asks the stranger raising her brow up, the stranger pats her shoulder, "hey, take it easy sister in law" this words from the strangers mouth puts Vera in a confuse situation, "I am Simon, Grey's cousin "oooh, nice to meet you Simon" Vera replies him giving him an hand shake, she uses the opportunity to scan him properly, "he is a handsome tall brown skin guy, oooh my God eyes, he has an hazel pupil, of course he made a neat cornrow middle parting all back, not bad, awnn she loves his look" she thought, "but Grey is better in looks" her inner mind argues, "but he is nicer than Grey" she defends him.

"Vera right?" Simon asks, Vera replies only with a smile and a nod, "you look pretty, Grey is a lucky bastard indeed" Simon tells Vera, "awnn, so sweet, thank you" she really appreciates Simon's compliment.

Grey walks towards the direction where he left Vera to herself but getting there, he sees her close, to his cousin, Simon, laughing and chatting, looking at the way she laughed one can tell it is a genuine one, he also notices the closeness between Vera and Simon, they were just an inch away from themselves another his catches is the exposure of her thighs.

He walks to the table but his presence is still not noticed, Simon finally notice Grey's presence, "ooh big brother" Simon says smiling, he notices Grey's glare, no one should tell him what to do, Simon stands up without hesitation, "uhm, sister in law, do not forget, in case you need anything I am here" Simon tells Vera, "sure, I will" Vera replies with all smiles on her face.

Immediately, Simon left, her face turns back to normal, no smile plastered round it, she feels like stabbing Grey for stopping her joyful moment, wow Simon is just like her, not really like her, he is the lucky while she is the unlucky, she still process the fact that Simon also grew in the same province grew in before her father took the responsibility of taking care of her.

The announcement made by the host catches her attention, "everyone should step out with their partner for the dance" Vera admires the lady's voice so soft and smooth, the lady seems perfect to Vera but her attention got diverted when a pretty lady with confidence asks Grey for a dance but Grey been Grey snubs her, the pretty lady looks at Vera with a puppy eyes giving Vera signal to persuade Grey.

Vera on the other hand gets confused, why will she think I can persuade Grey, she thought, "Grey" Vera touches Grey shoulder diverting his attention towards her, "why don't you have a dance with her than sitting here doing nothing", Grey heard whatever Vera just said but he decides not to pay attention, "Grey just a dance, it doesn't harm right, be nice" Vera says this time hoping he accepts, Grey looks at Vera whispering into her ear, "you will definitely suffer for this", he stood up dragging the unknown pretty lady to the dance floor.

Vera eyes were on Grey and the lady, at this point she wishes she could read lips so that she could hear the conversation between the two, Grey dances with this girl aggressively but the girl refuse to give up, she still continues her conversation, Vera suspicion begins to grow, "maybe, Grey knows her" she thought, her attention gets diverted when she heard, "can I have a dance with you", turning to her front it was Sam, she was surprised, "Sam what are you doing?" Vera asks Sam furiously, "Vera don't be too harsh, let's have a dance and we can discuss properly", Sam says as he looks so into her eyes without breaking it, "no, I don't want any discussion neither do I want to have a dance with you", vera answers without breaking the eye contact, whoever thought that the guy she adores will one day be her biggest enemy, "you look pretty Vera especially now that you look fearless, you are not longer the baby girl I know, what happened?" Sam asks Vera as he touches her chin, "fuck you🖕🖕" Vera replies him as she gives him her middle finger.

"I understand how furious, you are right now but please let's have a dance" Sam begs Vera, Vera still stands on her decision on not going to the dance floor but when she saw Grey and that lady dance and conversation get intense, she decides to go for the dance.

"ok" Vera replies as she gives him her hand, which he takes it with care, supporting her to stand, Vera face gets filled with disgusts, he leads her to the dance floor with his hands on her waist.

The dance between the two went slowly but with time Sam made the dance an intimate one the way he brought his face close to hers and then to her neck like, he was sniffing her, Vera disgusts increases, "what the fuck are you doing" Vera asks without at his face, her face was on his neck, she wouldn't dare take of her face, if she does her lips might crash to his, she could leave his grip, it is too strong for her, Sam turns Vera, in a position that her back is joined to his front no space, he held her waist firmly, putting his head on her neck again, "I miss you Vera, what you saw is not what it is, I promise" Sam tells her kissing her neck, "Sam stop it, we are in public, we can actually discuss this but not like this Sam" Vera tries to convince him, "okay, no problem as you wish" Sam says as he crawls his hands to her lap, raising her leg a little bit upward, "Sam stop it" Vera shouts at Sam, fact still remains that no kind of conversation will bring them back, she is married and he can't wait till six month and even if he can, she still would not go to him.

The dance is finally over, Vera sighs with relief but not until Sam drags out of the main hall to some kind of isolated area in that same building.

Grey watched Vera all through the dance, he saw her intimate dance with her ex boyfriend, it didn't look like she resisted it, after the dance he dumps the stupid desperate fool on the dance floor to go after Vera but his mom holds him back, " Grey I haven't seen Vera".

"what's this Sam? why did you bring me hear?" Vera asks angrily with fear in her eyes, she knows she isn't safe here Sam might try something stupid and Grey might be looking for her.

"a proper explanation Vera" Sam tells her, " what kind of explanation, I saw the video Sam, you don't need to lie, I understand that you were all over me because of sex and thank goodness I did not give it to you, and if you felt like betraying me why with Mira, my step sister" Vera spills out her mind without regret, Sam shakes his head while he still holds Vera firm to the wall, he bangs the wall with his fist in anger, "Vera, I am sorry for been clumsy, Mira spiked my drink making all by hot and I had this strong desire to have sex, she made say all those in exchange of her satisfying my urge at that moment, I had to Vera, it was like if I didn't do it I might die or something, Vera please I am sorry understand me please and let's get back together, I shouldn't have let her into my house, I am sorry" Sam explains everything to Vera without skipping any part of the story, he needs Vera, he can't do with her, he doesn't know if it was some kind of obsession but at this point all he wants to hear from her is a good reconciliation speech, Vera thought of how shameless and low Mira could go to shatter her but it's too late, "Sam I have forgiven you but is too late" Vera tells him sincerely holding his face, "I am married, you have to move on" Vera tells him again trying to leave thinking his grip on her will reduce after the news but he didn't his grip even becomes stronger.

"Vera, you are lieing" Sam tells been sure that Vera is really lieing, Vera did not say anything all she did is show him her finger, that alone proves everything, Sam looking at gets angry he believes now because the ring is a very expensive ring and a rare one at that real diamond, he can easily recognize the ring because it was bought from his company.

"let go Sam, it's time we go out separate ways" Sam hearing this gets angry, how could she dismiss him easily, he holds her down and kisses her roughly, Vera struggles to separate them but he is more stronger now, he kisses her roughly without noticing a person presence that is Grey.

Grey on seeing them like that becomes angry, he hates women who have the disease of infidelity but Grey being Grey did not let his emotion take over, his face as neutral as ever.
