I woke up groaning, my eyes slowly fluttered opened, i squinted my eyes looking around to see i'm still in the hospital which caused me to sigh i really hate hospitals, turned my head to see the door revealing Toni, he walked in shutting the door behind him as he looked at me. "Good morning." He walked over to the glass of the water on the table, handing it to me.

I sipped some then handed it back to him when i was done, i smiled at him weakly. "Good morning." I tried sitting up which caused Toni to put the cup down and rush towards me helping me sit up. "Thanks." I said with a rough voice.

He sat on the chair with his interlocked hands staring at me. "Are you okay?" He asked concerned, i nodded feeling really weak to even reply.

I coughed which caused Toni to jolt up and pat my back. "W-why did this happen to me?" I asked weakly closing my eyes and re-opening it.

He bit his lip looking at me then sat back down. "Yo-you were poisoned." I looked at him in shock, who would poison me? How did i even survive? Everything is confusing, who could possibly poison me?

I inhaled then exhaled deeply looking down at my hands that didn't have my wedding ring on there, Toni probably has it. "Who would-" I was cut off by him.

"I don't know, but i will find that person." He sighed rubbing his mustache. "Are you hungry?" He asked, i was about to shake my head but my stomach talked for me, making weird noises making me blush and look down. "Well i take that as a yes." He stood up making me look up at him. "I'll get you some food at a breakfast restaurant a couple of blocks away, i'll be back soon before you know it i promise." I nodded and he walked out leaving me alone.

In this hospital room surrounded by flowers and get well balloons, i smiled at the things around me, once i heard the door open. "That was fas-" I cut myself off to see someone i didn't want to see Mary, my eyes widen as she shut the door behind her.

She looked at me and smirked. "Hello darling." She walked over and touched my cheek making me flinch and move away from her touch, she grabbed my chin forcing me to look at her. "Was my daughter going to die a few days ago?" I looked at her in shock.

I pushed her hand away. "You did it didn't you?" I felt tears sting my eyes. "You poisoned me! Didn't you?" I shouted.

She rolled her eyes and leaned down. "I didn't do anything." She said staring me down. "I'm not that bad to poison someone i raised." A tear slipped out of my eyes looking straight into her emotionless eyes.

I shook my head. "You stole me away from my real family then raised me as if i was nothing, you use to abuse me if i talked to anyone." I said with tears streaming down my face. "You took care of me for money." She looked away from me and at her hands. "You hate me, you could easily poison me." She looked at me with wide eyes.

She shook her head. "If you think i'm letting you go that easily, then you don't even know who i am." She said before Toni walked into the room.

He looked at her with a clenched jaw, he glanced at me then back at her. "What the hell are you doing here?" He yelled, she looked at him. "Get the fuck out!" He pointed at the door.

She nodded making her way towards the door before she left she turned around and looked at me one more time. "I don't hate you." She whispered before walking out of the room, leaving me in shock with tears streaming down my face.

Toni looked at me setting the bags down and walked up to me, he cupped one of my cheeks with one of his hands then pulled me into his chest wrapping his arms around me. "I don't want to see her anymore." I sobbed into his chest.

"Shh, i won't let her anywhere near you anymore." He said moving his hands up and down my back, i felt the sparks and electric go around us making butterflies flap their wings in my stomach.

I think i'm falling in love with my husband...

I've been home since yesterday and things have changed around here since i was poisoned, Jennifer would cook now and the maids would just clean, they are trying to figure out who had poisoned me but i have this feeling that it wasn't the maids but one of the family members. I turned off the water stepping out of the shower wrapping a towel around my body.

I wiped the fog off the mirror and grabbed my undergarment slipping them on, i grabbed my clothes Yes, i was going to work and i'm very nervous. Everyone told me to sit at home and rest but i'm tired of sitting at home in bed not doing anything, it's boring and lonely.

My mom has been calling me here and there, i'm glad i'm starting to call her mom she deserves it she put me in this world without her i wouldn't be here, i unplugged my straightener as i finished doing my hair and makeup, once i was done i walked out of the bathroom to see Toni fully dressed and while looking at the mirror fixing his hair.

He turned around and scanned me up to down, i blushed looking down waiting for him to stop checking me out, when i looked up at him our eyes met as we looked into each others eyes, Toni snapped out of his thoughts and looked away from my eyes reaching for his watching putting it on, when he was done, he turned around. "Let's go." I grabbed my purse and walked with him as we walked out of the room and went downstairs to see, everyone in the living room.

When we entered, we see the maids sitting down and cops interviewing them wanting to know who poisoned me but i know it wasn't the maids, i'm sure of it they are the nicest people i've met and they wouldn't do such a thing to me, i walked over to Jennifer. "It's not them." I said making her and Toni look at me confused.

She uncrossed her arms standing straight. "What do you mean?" She asked, i sighed and rubbed my forehead.

I looked at the maids before looking back Jennifer. "They wouldn't do such a thing, they are like sisters to me, and every single on of them love me like i love them, the wouldn't do it." I said with all honesty.

I looked at the maids who were smiling at me with teary eyes. "Sweetie you never know." Jennifer wrapped her arms around my shoulder.

I ran a hand through my hair. "I know it's not them for sure." I said putting a strand of hair behind my ear.

Toni put his hands in his pocket. "Wait the security cameras we can check the tape." Toni reminded his mom, making her smile.

"Yes! of course." She ran out of the living room making me and Toni to follow, we entered the security room.

Toni walked over on the computer clicking three weeks back, i sat down on the empty chair beside him, he went through some of the videos trying to find it. "I think this is it." He said clicking onto the video. The video played and showed someone with a black hoodie quietly walking into the kitchen making sure no one was around.

They walked over to the food putting something liquid in a plate, once they were done they rushed out of the kitchen and towards the back door but my eye caught something blonde hair. "Wait." I said causing Toni to stop the video. "Blonde hair." I pointed at her hair making Jennifer and Toni look closely. "None of the maids have blonde hair." I informed them.

I bit my lip leaning my back to it, Jennifer sighed. "Someone with blonde hair that would be hard because who would it be?" She rubbed her forehead. "I mean Sara? but she is too scared to even touch poisoned. Marry? I made sure the guards do not enter the mansion. Serena? I don't know but she is barley even here." Jennifer tried thinking it out.

If it's not Marry, who else would try poisoning me, my mind keeps drifting to Sara i don't even know why my mind and heart keep telling me its her but she wouldn't, i mean she doesn't look like the type to kill someone and plus she never left our sight so it wouldn't be her.

Serena wouldn't do such a thing, i mean why would she? "I think we should go to work and figure this out later when we come back." Toni said standing up, he held his hand out for me making me take it as he pulled me up from my chair.

I walked over to Jennifer grabbing her hand. "Everything is going to be fine, don't stress it." I smiled at her then walked out with Toni.

We walked out of the house and walked towards his car getting in, while we were driving the ride was silent until Toni broke it. "Everything is going down hill." He said keeping his eyes on the road.

I put a stray of hair behind my ear as i looked down at my nails. "Here we are." He said parking the car, i looked out the window to see us in front of a beautiful tall building, he got out of the car coming around opening the door for me, i stepped out of the car and shut the door behind me.

He grabbed my hand interlocking it making sparks fly and butterflies to appear in my stomach, we walked into the building, it was relaxing quiet, Toni lead me towards the woman with blonde hair at the front desk. "Hello, Mr. Mahfud." She smiled at him

Toni gave her a quick smile. "Is my wife's office ready?" He asked her making her look at me sending me a bright smile.

She nodded. "Yea, her office is ready." He nodded then looked at me before taking me towards the elevator.

Once we entered he clicked the last button which was gonna make us go high, i looked out the window to see us going really high making me clutch onto Toni's arm tighter, i'm afraid of heights, he looked down at me confused. "Are you afraid of heights?" He asked, i immediately nodded. "Don't worry the elevator door is going to open right now." I looked down at my feet.

After a few The elevator door opened, we both walked out, he nodded at the coworkers as a greeting as he took me towards a white two doors. "Here we are." He muttered to me before opening the door.

We both walked in i looked around to see white chairs, desk, desktop chair, and black carpet, and tables, there was picture of me and Toni at our wedding smiling acting like a happy couple. I let go of Toni's hand and walked in a little more. "It's beautiful." I said as i walked over to the window looking at the beautiful view.

He walked over beside me. "Yeah it is." He said staring at me, i looked back at him smiling, he snapped out of his thoughts and cleared his throat. "You know how to draw right?" He asked making me nod. "Okay then you'll be the designer of this company." He said.

I smiled. "That's great, my dream was to become a designer." He gave me a short smile before turning around.

"I have to go now, people will be calling you today asking for some things which you'll have to design, Katherine will be helping you if it get's to much." He said walking towards the door.

"Okay, thank you." He nodded before walking out leaving me alone.

I walked towards my desk sitting down, i opened my laptop and grabbed my art book and the pencil next to it, i opened the book and decided to draw.

As i was drawing, there was a knock on the door. "Come in." I called the person who knocked on the door, they opened the door and entered.

I see Katherine and a beautiful girl next to her. "Hey!" Katherine squealed running up to me, i stood up as we both pulled each other in a hug, when we pulled apart. "Are you okay?" I smiled nodding at her then we turned to the girl standing there awkwardly. "Oh!" Katherine exclaimed as she turned to me. "Layla this is Brianna, your new assistant."

Brianna stuck her hand out with a big smile. "Nice meeting you boss." I chuckled as i took her hand.

"You too." We both broke the handshake.

Katherine put her hands on my shoulder. "And by the way." She said making me look at her. "Your job starts today, so get to work girls!" Brianna nodded walking out of my office and going to her office next to mine, Katherine shut the door leaving me alone in my office.

I walked over to my desk chair and sat down looking through the computer at the things i had to design, i grabbed my art book and pencil and started sketching what was on the computer, they wanted a drawing of their family photo in a frame, well that's easy. I started sketching the people before adding the frame, when i was about to finish the other side of the frame a knock was heard. "Come in." I said as i continued drawing.

The door opened making me glance up to see Toni walking in, which made me stop drawing and look up at him. "Hi." I smiled.

He looked at me and gave me a real smile, for the first time since we have been together! "Hey, i came here to see if you needed any help." I shook my head.

"No, i'm fine." He nodded then his eyes fell onto my art book to see the drawing which caused him to smile, he walked over.

He picked up the book examining it. "This looks amazing." He said handing me the book and i took it from his grasp, he stuck his hands in his pockets. "And when you're done, go to the designing room to actually make the design they want, i nodded. "I'll take you there, finish up." I smiled at him.

As i picked my pencil back up and started finishing the other side of the frame, when i was done i looked up to see Toni sitting down on his phone. "I'm done." I clapped my hands together looking at it one last time before standing up and walking towards him, he looked up at me and stood up putting his phone in his pocket.

"Okay, then let's go." He walked over to the door opening it for me, i walked out with him beside me as we walked towards the designing room. "Here we are." I looked at the door to see Designing written on it, he opened the door and revealed a lot of girls and some boys sitting there designing, once they saw Toni they gasped and stood up. "Hello." Toni greeted awkwardly.

They all gulped. "Hi." They put on he fakest smile ever.

Once we walked in i looked around to see beautiful designs on the wall. "This is my wife Layla, she is the head of the designers, when she tells you something you all have to do it, now get back to work." Everyone nodded, a brown headed girl gave me a glare, how many people hate me? Like seriously? I have a lot of haters on my list and it's so long!

Toni turned to me. "I need to get back to work, but we'll meet each other at twelve thirty that's during lunch." I nodded but he did something that surprised me before he left, he kissed my forehead and walked over to the door before walking out he turned to me. "Bye." I waved as he walked out leaving me alone.

I touched the place he kissed smiling, wait no! Layla he did it for show, i turned around to see all the workers looking at me making goosebumps to arrive on my arms, i felt scared, i bit my lip. "Hi." I whispered.

They all looked at me smiling. "Hi!" They replied, i smiled at them and they returned the smile back except that girl who kept giving me death stares.

Well i thought that was gonna be hard, but i guess i need to loosen up a bit.

~~~~~~~~

We made it home, the people in the company were actually really nice and i thought everyone was going to hate me, i guess i need to learn how to be around people, me and Toni entered the house to see Serena and Katherine fighting. "Can you please leave my house?" Katherine said harshly pointing at the door.

Serena was about to say something but when she saw Toni, she shut her mouth and gave him a innocent look, Katherine turned around to see Toni then looked back at Serena with a death stare. "Oh just because Toni is here, you are gonna act innocent!" Katherine argued.

Toni sighed. "What is going on here!?" He yelled.

Serena gave him a sad look. "I came here to visit you and Katherine told me to back off because you have a wife, and i know that i'm not trying to get in between you two, i just want to catch up." She said innocently, Katherine chuckled sarcastically and clapped her hands.

I looked at her confused. "Bravo! Bravo! You should really become a actress it suits you well." Toni grabbed Katherine's arm.

Serena looked down embarrassed. "What is wrong with you Katherine!?" Toni yelled at Katherine as she ripped her hand out of his grasp.

"You know what is wrong with me? This bitch said she was going to ruin your marriage and that she already has you wrapped around her finger, she started calling Layla names! For the love of god Toni this girl is not innocent she is a pure two faced bitch!" Katherine inhaled deeply after yelling that out.

Toni chuckled sarcastically. "Since when have you learned to lie? Katherine you are better than that." My lips opened slightly, my heart actually believe Katherine because she isn't the type that lies.

"What the hell is going on here!?" I heard Jordan shout from behind me.

I turned around to see him and Jennifer standing there with a confused face, not knowing why their kids are fighting, Katherine turned to her parents. "Even if i tell you! Both of you wouldn't believe me because Serena is a beautiful angel that never lies." Katherine stormed upstairs leaving everyone with a blanked face.

I looked at Toni who already had his eyes on me, i shook my head and ran upstairs to Katherine who slammed her room door shut, i went towards her room knocking on it. "Katherine." I called her name softly, I didn't hear any response. "Kat please open the door." I heard the door unlock and open to see Katherine with a puffy face.

I smiled at her walking into her room as she shut the door behind her. "They never believed me when she comes, it's always her that tells the truth even though all her truths are lies." She walked over to her bed as a tear slipped out from her eye. "Since we were kids they would always believe her and think i was lying, she wears an angel mask but when she takes it off it's pure devil." Her voice cracked as she stared into space.

My heart stung for her, i put my hand on her cheek stroking it with my thumb. "I believe you." I smiled, she looked up at me surprised. "I don't know her personally but i know she is lying and i know that you would never lie, i mean what's the point in lying, the truth always comes out one way or another." She gave me a teary smile.

She wrapped her arms around me pulling me into a hug, i stroked her back up and down. "Thank you! You are like the sister i never had." I chuckled.

Once we pulled away i wiped her tears. "Enough crying! Someone wants to see that beautiful smile, never let anyone bring you down even if someone doesn't believe you don't be upset because the truth always comes out, Karma is your best friend, so keep that beautiful smile on your face." She nodded smiling.

"You sure are an angel." I heard someone say from behind us, i turned around to see Jennifer with a bright smile on her face. I blushed and looked down at my wedding and engagement ring that was together, she walked over to me cupping my cheek giving me a motherly kiss on the forehead. "We found the right person for our son." I blushed even more, she chuckled then turned to her daughter. "Katherine i believe you, Toni told me why you were fighting with Serena, i always knew she was a liar like her mother." She clenched her teeth.

Katherine and me shared a confused look. "Mom, how do you know that?" Katherine asked.
