THE BILLIONAIRE'S LOVE: TAMING HIS HEART

Rayner’s POV

“That's all, Mr. Allen,” I said, concluding my speech.

“That's a catchy offer not to accept miss, I will give the contract to Cee Enterprise,” Mr. Allen said and sipped from the cup of coffee in his hand. “I will take my leave now. Everything will be sent to you through my PA from now,” he made clear before leaving.

Cee Enterprise is a gadget production company and I Rayner Carson work in the Business Management Department.

I have just concluded a business meeting with this client who wants a lot of computers in his new company and he has agreed to give Cee Enterprise the contract.

Convincing people to buy our computers or gadgets at Cee Enterprise isn't easy. Being the best in Diavolo means we will prove why we are the best every time.

I walked back to my desk and added this new success to my list. I have been keeping a record of the number of contracts I have signed with clients because I will need that if I must be promoted.

So far, I have gotten sixteen out of thirty which will give me a promotion to the President of the Business Management Department.

The screen of my phone came up, I glanced at it to see why and it was a call. I picked the phone up and checked the caller, it was Daniel Jackson, my boyfriend.

I answered the call immediately. “Hello, Love,” I said sweetly into the phone.

His voice came up immediately, “My sweetheart. I am back in Diavolo,” he screamed excitedly.

I wanted to scream but somehow I found a way to hold myself.

“I am coming,” my voice shrank as my emotions were out of my control. “Just you and me tonight,” I giggled.

“Of course.” I could feel him rolling his eyes. “I'll see you soon then.” he hung up.

Daniel has been out of Diavolo. His company had organized a four-week training for them and now he was back.

Do you know that feeling you get when you have missed someone so much and he is finally back? That's how I feel right now. I just can't wait to be in his arms, smooching, and cuddling, who knows, we might go beyond that.

****

I got to Daniel's place earlier than I expected. There was no traffic on the way and that made it easier. I had called Daniel before I left home and told him I would be with him in two hours if the traffic moved fast.

Evening time in Diavolo is always a rush, everyone is in a hurry to get home, no one wants to wait or be kept waiting and so there is a lot of traffic every night.

As Daniel's girlfriend, he had told me the pin to his door so I wouldn't have to wait out when he wasn't around.

I inputted the four-digit pin and the door opened. I walked into the living room quietly, I wondered why I did that but I just felt the need to move quietly.

Everywhere was quiet, did he go out to go get something or oh, he must be sleeping? I have brought a few of my things since it is a Thursday and I will have to go to work just tomorrow and spend the weekend at his place.

I pulled my luggage quietly behind me heading to his room when I began to hear sounds. I dropped my luggage and walked close to the door to get what it was about.

I pinned my ear to the door but the sound wasn't appealing to my ears, out of curiosity, I turned the knob of the door gently so as not to make any sound and I was faced with a scene that left me dazed for more than five minutes.

I stood there, right in front of them, I couldn't think, speak, or force myself to do something, they didn't notice me. A hot stream of tears ran down my face as they continued with their act. Daniel was on Maci, both naked.

Maci Anderson was Daniel's colleague at work and her uncle was the managing director of the company. I got to know Maci because she was always around, she has a project she is working on with Daniel.

We became friends as a result but seeing Daniel riding her with all his strength and passion, their body full of sweat as she moaned softly to every thrust, I felt betrayed and used.

I was the third party in the relationship after all. She knew about my relationship with Daniel but I don't know about hers.

My vision was blurred already, unable to continue watching them as my legs were getting weak, I screamed at the top of my lungs drawing their attention.

They both looked at me. Daniel has guilt in his eyes as he pulls out of her immediately but Maci, her face holds no emotion.

I left the doorknob as I didn't realize I was still holding on to it, grabbing my luggage where I had left it, I headed to the living room to pick up my bag and leave.

I could hear Daniel trying to run after me but he was stopped by Maci. “Do you want to run after her and leave me to myself? She is just a girl who has nothing to offer you, Daniel. It's good she found out, now she won't have to force herself on you anymore,” Maci said loudly.

I knew she said that out loud so I could hear the urge to go back and give her a slap, a slap for stealing my man, for looking down on me for the pain, for everything.

Maci's words kept repeating in my head, as I stormed out of Daniel's house. I needed to wait beside the road to get a cab. In my blurred vision, angry and betrayed state, and Maci's words still ringing in my ears, I didn't see a man standing in front of me.

I bumped into him, my head hitting his chest with the force I was walking with. He held his chest as he bent down. I could feel his pain, I was going through one myself.

“Hey, are you okay?” I dropped my luggage, bending down to help him get up.

“Why didn't you watch it?” He asked angrily.

I didn't want to pour my anger on anyone but this stranger here gave me no choice. I looked at him closely, he had a very handsome face and fine features and his body was well-built. The man looked hot and that pacified my anger and for a moment, I forgot I was angry.

“You weren't looking either, you could have seen me if you were,” I fired back, controlling my tone so as not to sound harsh.

“I was looking around for someone and I wasn't moving but you were and you weren't looking at your front. What if it was something hard you have pumped into?” He asked, still holding his chest.

I didn't have the strength to exchange words with him. I just wanted to get home and cry myself to sleep. I walked back to pick up my luggage, and luckily a cab stopped in front of me, without looking back at the stranger, I jumped in.

When I got home, the tears I had tried controlling while in the cab let themselves out without restrictions. I slumped on the floor, my world was over.

I had accepted to date Daniel because we were of the same level in our career and I believe he will never look down on me. Every day I keep struggling to increase my algorithm at work by getting more contracts so I can be promoted and he will never look down on me if we get married.

I was still crying my eyes and heart out when a call from Director Kim entered. I wiped my tears, and cleared my throat so he wouldn't notice I had been crying.

“Yes, Director Kim,” I answered.
