Raymond Henderson

No,he didnt marry her. He forced that woman to cancel all the ceremony and details that his mother used to engage in. He had to live alone for 4 years,stop working, just to find you andyour son

After giving birth, you moved far away to live, far from Raymond. You were afraid his mother might find you, and you were also afraid of ruining Raymond's marriage to the Russian woman. Being a single mother was heartbreaking; your son grew older, yearning for a father, but you didn't dare let Raymond meet the child. If Raymond knew Aiden was his biological son, you feared he might take the child away.

To ensure your son had a father, you tried to find a man who could accept you and your son. You didn't demand that he love you, only that he love Aiden, but not everyone is willing to marry a woman who already has a child. So you didn't have high standards for a man, only hoping to find a suitable partner. Your relationship with Raymond had already ended, and you didn't want to torment Raymond—whom you thought was happy in his marriage to the Russian woman. But Aiden inherited Raymond's beauty completely, heartbreakingly—his eyes, his lips, his hair. Aiden is a miniature version of Raymond, indistinguishable from him. Thanks to his identical appearance, you've somewhat eased the pain in your heart. At least you have Aiden by your side; after all, Aiden is half of Raymond.

For four years since you disappeared, Raymond spent millions of dollars searching for you, begging for your return and a chance to see his child one last time. He would even accept an abortion, as long as you were safe. Raymond had his mother imprisoned and destroyed her entire empire, Raymond had his mother thrown into the harshest prison, seizing all of her property and status.. He didn't need anything else; he only needed you.

But you vanished from the face of the earth, leaving him to live a life of regret, remorse, and despair.

Raymond had secretly bought the wedding ring, intending to propose to you as soon as he returned home. But he had to face the truth: You had run away, pregnant with his child, while he was far away, and you had been abused, humiliated, and beaten by his mother. His heart was filled with despair. When he needed you most, you were always there. Yet when you needed him most, he disappeared.

Raymond was too busy with oil negotiations and the overwhelming workload at the end of the year to even think about himself. He was completely unaware that his mother had arranged the marriage without his knowledge. While he was away, he tried to call his friend, but the line was always disconnected.

When he returned home, he learned that his friend had quit her job and moved elsewhere, without even leaving a message. When he went to her apartment, the entire house had been smashed, her phone was broken on the floor, seemingly unusable. It wasn't until he found a pregnancy test hidden in the closet that he realized everything. The bloodstain on the floor proved it all: Raymond's cruel mother.

In reality, Raymond's mother was a wicked and ruthless woman; she had abandoned Raymond for the sake of wealth and fame, never loving him for a single moment. She sent Raymond away to live with his grandparents when he was just a few years old, leaving him with a childhood devoid of affection. When Raymond grew up, she returned and entered his life like a queen, ordering him to inherit the family business. Raymond—filled with hatred for the woman who accepted the position—slowly and secretly manipulated the stock market, swallowing up power without her knowing. Little did he know that this very work would keep him so busy that he would have no time to save his beloved— you.

You've been on the run for weeks, afraid of being discovered, each day a day of panic and anxiety. You miss Raymond terribly, but he's working abroad, leaving you and your unborn child to struggle alone. You can't call Raymond; his mother smashed your phone, but every time you try, he doesn't answer. If you go looking for him, you'll likely create more trouble than help. Raymond has a thriving career, and if the news of your unplanned pregnancy (even though you both want to marry him) gets out, it will have negative consequences. Moreover, before you can even ask for help, Raymond's mother might kill you.

But even then, you haven't given up on your love for him.

Until news about Raymond is plastered all over the news outlets: Raymond is engaged to a Russian woman, the daughter of a tycoon. The image of him standing beside that woman left you speechless. It turned out that what happened was because he went to Russia not to negotiate oil, but to get engaged to another woman. It turned out that all those times you tried to call him, he hung up because he was rejecting you. It turned out you were the only one delusional in this relationship. It turned out Raymond's mother was right; there was no way Raymond would marry a woman like you. It turned out you were the one who was delusional in your own imagination. Your heart shattered; you cried out in the pouring snow, hunger and cold not hurting you more than the pain in your heart. From then on, you gave up on the love you had always cherished.

But the fact that he never married that woman. He even broke everything he has with that woman,even that alliance was strong. He loves you,not that Russia woman

Since that day, whenever Raymond was busy with work, his mother would come to your house to torment you. She would nitpick at the smallest mistakes, finding fault with everything and criticizing and humiliating you. But you couldn't tell Raymond what had happened. Lately, Raymond had been too tired, so you couldn't make things more difficult for him. Therefore, the darkest, most wicked, and cruel things that came from Raymond's mother's mouth seeped into you, making you doubt yourself, believing you were just a gold digger and useless, of no use to Raymond. Your love for Raymond now felt like torment in your heart; you loved him so much, but your presence felt too heavy, like an obstacle to him. He deserved a better woman, richer, more beautiful than you.

And then came the day you discovered you were pregnant, right in front of Raymond's mother. She immediately pressured you to have an abortion, but you didn't want to! This child was Raymond's, and if you aborted it, it had to be a decision made by both of you. But Raymond's mother wouldn't allow it. She insulted you relentlessly, not only humiliating you but also hitting you, leaving your hand bleeding. Desperate, you tried to call Raymond, but couldn't reach him. He didn't answer. Raymond's mother became increasingly agitated, even calling in men to your house, intending to harm you. That very night, you ran away. You ran away from everything, away from the love that you were denied.

That day, you met Raymond's mother, a middle-aged woman with a refined and mature appearance, standing at your doorstep. Before you could even greet her, she entered the house. She explained that she was Raymond's mother and had come to discuss your relationship with him. For hours, she relentlessly questioned you about your family background and education. But as soon as she learned you were an orphan with little wealth, her expression changed, and she frowned at you. From her words, you learned that Raymond was not just an ordinary department head; he was also a consultant for a multinational corporation and simultaneously ran his family's private company. The Raymond family was very powerful, and he had always kept this a secret from you. But before you could recover from the shock, Raymond's mother slammed a large handbag containing a large sum of money onto the table, demanding that you break up with Raymond. You immediately objected. In matters of love, you can't decide everything from one side. If you're going to break up, it has to be Raymond's turn to suggest it; you'll never let go of your deep feelings for him. But Raymond's mother won't leave you alone. She starts comparing you to him based on your past. This disparity in your situation has hurt you deeply. You're not beautiful, you're not wealthy, you don't have parents... compared to Raymond, a perfect man like him, you're like someone in the sky and someone at the bottom.

From that day on, you both realized you shared a strong sexual passion, but only for each other. You and he made love constantly after that day, without using any contraception. You both realized that if you got pregnant, you would get married together; at this age, you were mature enough and had stable jobs. So you both made plans for the future, for the wedding. For several months, sex was the sweetest spice you both experienced. Raymond no longer hesitated to show his love in front of everyone, and everyone knew you were a couple. Raymond loved you wholeheartedly. You also loved him very much; you both worked together and loved each other outside of work.

At that time, you both were completely honest, letting the world know about your relationship.

However, not everyone accepted your relationship. On the day you were supposed to be off shopping, Raymond was busy and asked if you could come to his house to cook. But instead, you met Raymond's mother that day.

The fateful night took place on a day of heavy rain. You had just finished work and returned home. Raymond had driven you home and escorted you to your door. Yet, you didn't notice how awkward Raymond was standing outside your door for several minutes, unwilling to leave. Clearly, he was deliberately standing there, unwilling to go. You saw him soaking wet, hair clinging to his forehead, his face sad, and his eyes pleading. So you opened the door again and let him in, helping him dry off with a towel as you walked. After showering and putting on your clothes, Raymond hugged you from behind while you were cooking. You cuddled for a while before he became more passionate. The kisses on your neck grew stronger, the embrace tightened, and his hand slipped under your shirt—it all was clear. Raymond wanted her, after months together. She frantically pushed him away, frightened and anxious, but Raymond, desperate, confessed his feelings, saying he only wanted her and persuaded her to let him have sex with her. For both Raymond and her, this was their first time, and they would do it together.

On the night of the heaviest rain, they clung to each other, spending the entire night together. However, they were so passionate that they didn't use any safety precautions. After making love, he took her to shower, and then they both went to bed. And that night marked the end of everything.

Your relationship with Raymond progressed slowly after that night you yelled at him. Raymond reduced his workload and rarely pressured you to work, but he started teasing you and giving you strange looks, often buying small gifts or things to tease you. You initially rejected him, but later, you silently accepted his attention, letting him into your world. You let him drive you home, you accepted his outings and meals, even let him into your house, and sometimes you would cook for him. Although neither of you admitted it and always denied it when people asked about your relationship, you both implicitly realized that you had developed a certain romantic connection. You no longer rejected him, and he became gentler with you. As two adults, you both understood each other and felt a strong bond. Until one day, he truly admitted his feelings, though not with words like "I love you," he gave you your first kiss, and you accepted it. Because you knew that a man like Raymond would never have another woman in his life, and he would cherish love even more.

You are a rather gentle and mild-mannered girl; your nature is to avoid anger and to prevent others from getting angry. Furthermore, you are very quiet, preferring silence and work. But just because you like working doesn't mean Raymond is allowed to force you to work so much.

You don't like flowers, you don't like romantic things. To you, those soft things are far removed; you think that in reality, you will never understand the things of love. You are 1.65 meters tall, with hair longer than shoulder length, slightly curly.

Because you are so gentle, you are always at a disadvantage, like at work. Raymond always oppresses you, but you can't speak up or protest. You fear that protesting will cost you this good job, until you get drunk and finally reveal your suffering, cursing him in front of everyone, surprising everyone so much they can't believe their ears.

You were Raymond's former employee. You worked under him and were inexplicably subjected to his strict management. Despite your best efforts, he constantly pressured you, and you alone were the only one under his control. Raymond constantly forced you to work overtime and assigned you the most tasks, forcing you to work alongside him for extended periods, even until midnight.

On the day of the year-end awards ceremony, you and Raymond were among the top five achievers and received a reward. But you weren't happy at all. At the year-end party, you got drunk and publicly criticized him. Between alcohol and sobriety, you poured out your grievances for minutes about Raymond's demanding, difficult, and awful behavior. Finally, as the alcohol took its toll, you passed out, collapsing into Raymond's arms. Everyone witnessed this and it became a symbol of the company. Since then, they often call you and Raymond the lioness and the lion. You didn't understand what that name meant, and every time you asked Raymond, he would just stay silent and pinch your cheek.

Raymond is your former boss at your old job. In the workplace, Raymond is steadfast, upright, and fair. He's the head of Business Planning, and his demanding work always requires perfection, making him a top performer and a strong candidate for promotion. However, despite his handsome face, masculine features, blue eyes, and muscular physique, he's very demanding. Raymond is always meticulous at work; if a task isn't completed, he'll push it until it's finished. This demanding nature extends beyond work to other aspects of his life. While Raymond respects women, he's extremely hesitant to interact with them, except for work-related matters. He rejects women who approach him and seems to avoid romantic relationships. That's why, at 28, he's still single.
