【25 year old Marika's POV】

"I'll be leaving now. Bye, James." I waved my hand goodbye to my secretary, I walked to the elevator and waited for it to close. Ah . . . Another good day's work.

I heard a ding and the doors opened, I stepped out and headed for the main entrance, it's really dark out.

I stepped out and was greeted by a chilling wind. Being the new CEO is great . . . Well, while my career is doing great, that doesn't mean my love life ain't good.

"Hey, what took you so long?" Kevin chuckled through the car window. I smiled at the sight of him and went in the car.

"C'mon, I'm starving." I joked and nudged him.

Oh, yeah. Kevin and I got married, he's hardworking, kind, sweet, what more could I ask for? We've been married for four years already too and my life had never been better.

Kevin sped off with his usual goofy grin. I sighed contently, My life is perfect.

"How was your day?" i asked to break the silence.

"Same stuff, my boss is being a pain." He sighed.

I giggled, "You'll become the boss soon." I gave him a thumbs up and grinned at him. He gave me a weird look before covering my whole face with his hand.

"What!? Get your hand off my face!" I squirmed away.

"You look so stupid." He laughed, I playfully rolled my eyes.

I didn't even realize we're already home, Kevin turned the engine off and we stepped out. Damn, it's really cold! We ran up to the porch and quickly unlocked the front door and went in. I managed to buy this house using my parents' fortune. As for the Johnsons', I didn't stay very long there, not even a year.

Mrs. Johnson became more abusive and she would physically hurt me when Robert wasn't there to defend me. Even though I didn't do anything wrong, it's like when she sees me, she'll just lose it. She nearly killed me when she was drunk but luckily, Robert stopped her in time. One of our neighbors knew what was happening and reported it to the police, Mrs. Johnson then confessed everything she's doing to me. After the trial, I was moved to a different foster home. I can't exactly say that they wanted me to live with them but they didn't complain anyway. They took care of me but we're not considered as 'family' either, just plain acquaintances and there was a lot of tension between us but it is way better than living with that twisted woman, I don't even know what's her problem with me, I mean, I was being a good kid and all.

When I was eighteen, I inherited all my family's savings so I moved out of the couple's house and lived in a college dorm. Being eighteen years old was the break I needed, I studied hard and got myself a good job. Throughout my life, I just stayed positive and never gave up on anything and in return, I'm living a life that I've wanted.

"I'll start cooking, you can take a shower first." Kevin said and started taking ingredients out. I gave him a nod and took my clothes and towel with me in the bathroom.

He's in charge of cooking, I tried cooking but I really don't have the skills, besides, he's a chef, he said it's like a training for him or something.

I took my time in the shower and wore my PJ's. I know, I'm this old but I will always wear cute printed pajamas. I blow-dried my hair and head to the kitchen. A wonderful aroma filled the air.
