[Volkov Residency]

A man dressed in black walked into the mansion with two other men. He was holding a brown and black envelope in his hand.

"I was waiting for you." Gently caressing the black cat cradled in his lap, Semion Volkov smiled, "What news did you bring today Boris?"

"He got married." Boris placed the envelope on the table.

Semion stopped petting his cat for a few seconds before resuming his actions. "And who is that lucky woman?"

"Rachael Watson." He took out a picture from the envelope and kept it on the table.

Semion glanced at it once. "Any connections?"

Boris shook his head. "None. The Watson's are well known faces of the business world but their background is very clean."

"Interesting—" Rubbing his chin, he asked, "Why do you think he married her then? For love?"

"At the moment, I don't see any other motive other than that."

Keeping the cat on the couch, Semion held the picture in his hand and carefully examined it. "So the boy still has emotions left inside him." Tossing the picture on the table, he chuckled, "I thought I had turned his heart into a stone"

"What next sir?"

"Send a beautiful gift for my beautiful granddaughter-in-law." Semion smirked, "Make sure you mention my name in bold."

[Watson Mansion, Rachael's room]

"So you proposed to him?"

Rachael shrugged, "I guess." She was the one who approached him and suggested that they should get married.

"Oh my God girls, that's so cool," Tina exclaimed.

"Wait—so you proposed?" When she nodded, Emma asked, "What did he say? I mean, what was the first thing he said?"

"Well, first he asked me why I wanted to get married because when we were out the day before, we had a conversation on how dad wanted to set us up. Andrew told me he would tell dad that he didn't want to marry me because if I did that, dad would never agree," Rachael added, "But before I could explain, he asked me when I wanted to get married."

"Damn, the guy is really into you," Emma stated.

"Oh you should have seen the way he was looking at her when she was signing their marriage certificate." Placing her hand on her chest, Tina awed, "There was a spark in his eyes. It felt so nice."

Taking out her clothes from the cupboard, Rachael resumed her packing. "You both are overthinking again. Andrew and I barely know each other."

"Well, it doesn't matter. Whether you know him or not, he is now your husband. And trust me, your husband is very famous—especially amongst the ladies," Tina remarked.

"Exactly," Emma added. "Not that we are saying you are any less beautiful and hot than him, but you have to be really careful."

"What do you mean?"

"Don't let other women lay their fingers on something that is yours. You have to show all those bi*tches who the real queen is," Emma stated.

"Emma is right, if you don't protect something that is yours who will?"

"I don't know what you two think but I am sure Andrew is not like that." Rachael was very well aware of her husband's popularity. His return was still one of the HOT topics. Even though there were several women eyeing on him, she knew she could trust him.

"We aren't saying Andrew is like that—all we are saying is for you to identify the red flags and act accordingly. Don't just stand there when a s*lut is trying to flirt with your man," Emma firmly stated.

Rachael nodded and agreed. "Okay madam." She knew Emma and Tina wouldn't stop giving her all the perky advice until she agreed with them.

But little did she know what they were saying would come in handy very soon.
