Doted Expensive Wife

Veronica put her best dress on, elegant yet looking dangerous. She fixed her hair and put on dark lipstick and light makeup. The dress was bought by Tony. He just loves seeing her in a dress and her body would suit any kind of dress even if she wore a rag—she would still look beautiful.

"Fighting, my baby." He kisses her lips. "By the way, your grandpa is in the living room." He winks. Veronica exhales.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"It was a surprise." She got out and found Calvin sitting on the sofa with his cane. He is looking healthier and looking young.

"Grandpa." She said like she always and usually calls him. He stood and walked toward her slowly. She held his hand.

"Don't let your father manipulate you. You know that I am just behind you to back you up. If you remember anything at all—just tell me, not directly to him." She nodded from his advice. "Remember, once he manipulates you—he's going to grab everything that's yours."
