Monterey, Mexico.
Irina had just woken up but was too lazy to get out of bed. The woman was kept on the bed wearing only a white blanket, while her eyes were fixed on her husband who was preparing to work. In silence she frowned, realizing that today was the weekend.
"Honey..." Irina sat up.
Ferdinand was still focused on combing his hair. He stood in front of the dressing table mirror, looking so neat in his black pants and white shirt.
"It's the weekend... Why do you have to start your job? Isn't the company where you work for a holiday?" Irina asked in astonishment.
"Hmm..." Ferdinand immediately stopped what he was doing, looking too confused to respond to Irina. He turned around, looking at his wife who was looking at him seriously. "Actually... Today I'm only going to meet with the old personnel manager. He will show me how to work and also the plans he has laid out because tomorrow I will go straight to work while he is resigning," he continued, whether being honest or lying.
"Oh, so this meeting is individual."
"Yes, Baby. .so that tomorrow I can go straight to work," said Ferdinand, then bent down to kiss Irina's cheek. He stroked his wife's face and said, "You may continue sleeping if you are still sleepy. I'll make my breakfast."
Irina was silent, while Ferdinand walked towards the couch where there were shoes available at the foot of the couch. For some reason, she felt sad when her husband left, and that meant she would be alone at home because she didn't have any friends and her neighbors weren't close.
"Can I come with you?" She asked.
Ferdinand chuckled glancing at Irina while putting on his shoes. "You don't have to come. You better stay at home and do whatever you want. Working isn't fun."
"But I will be lonely..."
"Then you can go shopping, or make new friends around here," said Ferdinand casually. "We'll be here until we can buy a new house. I guess that's quite a while and that means you should mingle with the people here….although in any part we have to be friends with our neighbors," he continued, then stood up again after putting on his shoes.
Irina sighed as she lay back down. She was silent, staring at the ceiling, feeling lazy to mingle with the people around the house because they belong to the poor.
"It's better to play social media than mingle with them," she said languidly.
"So, you can do it, baby ..."
Ferdinand crouched on top of Irina, looking at her with a smile.
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah, you can go back to doing whatever you like, even if it has to make you active again on social media," Ferdinand said calmly. "Maybe with that, you can get another endorsement, which means it can help me accelerate us to realize our dream of having a new home...."
"You're not afraid that Richard will track our whereabouts?" asked Irina while fixing Ferdinand's shirt collar.
"We don't need to be afraid of him. Because if we show some fear, then he will be happier. We just need to act normal because we are not wrong," said Ferdinand with his eyes looking elsewhere while imagining Richard's face. "We have the right to be together because we love each other. And he can never take you away from me because you are legally my wife... You are mine forever!" He continued looking back at Irina.
Irina smiled, then stroked Ferdinand's jaw. "I hope things will get better soon."
"Don't be afraid, we will have a better life here."
Irina wrapped her arms around Ferdinand's neck and pressed him until their lips met. She kissed her husband gently, while her hands moved to grope his back.
"Ummm..."
Ferdinand felt his passion rise, but he immediately ended the kiss.
"Please, I have to go now," he said softly, pushing away Irina's hand.
Irina smiled, feeling Ferdinand's chest covered in clothes. "Morning sex is so much fun...."
"Yeah, I know….but we can't do it now," said Ferdinand with a smile, pushing away Irina's hand again. "I promise I'll be back soon..."
"Then what happened when you came back?" asked Irina, opening the blanket so that her boobs were exposed.
Ferdinand swallowed his saliva and glanced at Irina's pretty plump boobs. "Maybe I'll enjoy it..."
Irina sneered. "Why not now, hmmm? Don't you like playing it?" She felt Ferdinand's neck and jaw.
"I like it, but I have to work," said Ferdinand, then kissed Irina's right boobs. "You just need to wait...we can play up to 5 rounds later," he continued, getting up from the bed.
Irina smiled and, shifted her prone position while looking at Ferdinand who hastily came out.
"I need 10 rounds!"
"Yeah, I'll give you 15 rounds!" said Ferdinand.
Irina chuckled, letting Ferdinand go. She sighed, put back on the blanket, and went to get her cell phone which was under the pillow.
"Ferdinand has got a job that means I don't have to deal with Daisy anymore. I hope she's not disappointed for always sticking up for Richard….it would be really sad if she was deceived by Richard's fake love….I'm sure, it's just fake love." She grumbled as she opened her social media, scrolling through messages in hopes of finding important messages from people who used her aa s brand ambassador.

Los Angel.....
Daisy is relaxing with her friends on the penthouse terrace while enjoying a snack and a view that is enough to spoil their eyes. The location of the penthouse which is at the very top of the building, allows them to see clearly the skyscrapers around them, then the streets that are visible from above, look very beautiful and full of splendor.
"By the way...I'm sorry about the secret leak about us transferring money to Irina," said Angela who sat near Daisy, while the others sat on other sofas playing cellphones, even taking selfies.
"I feel guilty for getting you into that mess, I mean, Richard's people must have intimidated you," Daisy replied worriedly. She looks elegant wearing a white dress and letting her hair down just like that, and also wearing gold-framed glasses, white watches, and diamond bracelets. She looks so elegant, and classy, as if deserves to be called a billionaire's wife.
Angela set to the front. "Richard's people intimidate us in a good way. Even... We get money after they finish... .but we reject that, because we are not materialistic, do not want our honesty to be bought. we are also honest because we have to."
"I know that... I'm thankful that you guys aren't pressured by them."
Angela glanced at Daisy who looked completely different since becoming Richard's wife.
"I don't think you need to worry about Richard's love anymore," she said. "He loves you, and you love him too. Your marriage had a positive effect on you."
Daisy smiled shyly. ."Do I look better now?"
"Yeah..." Angela smiled. "Now you look very feminine, wearing jewelry... You also look prettier... It's like, he has brought positive energy to you so you look fresher."
"Do I usually look bad?"
"Not bad, but normally you look like an innocent girl....nerd..." Angela chuckled as she recalled Daisy's pre-marriage look. "You used to be so innocent. I even thought you'd get married at 35 because you were so closed off to men."
Daisy chuckled, couldn't deny that what Angela said was true.
"And…" Angela frowned with a smile. "It turns out that you get the perfect husband very easily. I'm so jealous of that. You got the fate that the other girls wanted so badly!"
Daisy sighed. "I don't know... I just did what I had to do to save my family. And I hope this isn't a trap...." She glanced back at Angela. ."You know Richard has been sneaky and mean before."
