Nathaniel’s PovI walked the next day and the doctor asked me to stay one more day so he could check to see if I was very okay to get out of the hospital. For me, I didn’t buy the idea but Aunt Eli and Mac Jayson refused me to leave.I needed to go back home to see and get to understand what was really going on and where exactly Rayner was.“Why are you still in my room?” I was forced to ask Natasha when she refused to leave my room after she was done making sure I had taken my medication just like Aunt Eli instructed her.I had been discharged earlier and then Aunt Eli had an important meeting she needed to attend on my behalf. Since she would be away for a long time and I might have gone to bed by the time she returned, she had no choice but to tell Natasha to make sure I took the medication given to me.From the very moment we arrived at the mansion, Natasha followed me to my room and refused to leave. Her things were in my room and when I noticed them, I called a maid to get them
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
Rayner’s POV“Why are there a lot of errors in the contract,” Director Kim slammed the contract I had prepared last night on my desk angrily jolting me back to my surroundings.When he called me last night, he asked me to prepare a contract. He gave the details and despite my broken heart, I tried to draft it.Maci's words, the picture of Daniel riding her from behind, the stranger I bumped into, and how I spoke to him harshly occupied my head while I prepared the contract and even before Director Kim came in.His gaze was cold and I could see disappointment in his eyes. I have never made a mistake not even missing the letter ‘a’ when preparing a contract but now I have made a lot of errors like Director Kim had said.“Are there errors?” I asked to be sure I heard him well.“Yes, Rayner. There are a lot of them, I couldn't finish the first page,” he shouted at me.Director Kim is a nice man but he just hates dirty work, laziness, backwardness, and anything that will slow his work down
Rayners POVIt was the weekend and I didn't want to stay at my place so I concluded I was going to spend it with Mom. It's been a while since I spent time with her after all.Before now I always spent the weekend with Mom but when Daniel came into the picture, I was either busy with work or at Daniel's place now that he is out of the picture, I will return to my schedule of spending the weekend with Mom.The week had started on a good note for me until I saw the cheaters cheating on me. I signed three contracts with my clients and the one I signed on behalf of Director Kim.I explained to Director Kim what transpired between the client and and he was beyond grateful to me to the dismay of Katherine who had wanted him to scold me again he also advised me to deal with whatever issue I had during the weekend.I stepped down from the car. I boarded a cab to take me to Mom's place. Immediately I stepped down, and the fresh natural air supplied by the many trees in the surroundings greeted
Rayner POVMy worst weekend has finally come to an end. I cried my eyes out every minute because everything kept coming as a flash to my head.I tried reaching Mom after I left her place but she never took the call. I knew I needed to do something if I ever wanted to speak with Mom. One thing I know about Mom is that she keeps her word.I manage to drag my tired body and soul to work. When I got to work, I was one minute late and the first person I saw was Director Kim. I knew I was finished at this point but I still walked up to him smiling.Before I entered the company, I stood at the glass windows and reminded myself that it's a new week and I can't screw it up. Being in a sane mind will do me a whole lot, I reminded myself of the target I have in mind, which is the COO position, and that lightened my mood.So when I walked in to see Director Kim, I just smiled because that's what the Rayner before the heartbreak will do.“Late with a minute? Why?” He asked when I got to him.“I am
I stepped down from the company's car in front of Blue Nath. Director Kim had told me to go in the company car as getting a cab might take a while and I might get there late.I wouldn't want to get there late so I accepted. In front of me was the gigantic building of Blue Nath. The building is so high, the front was covered in glass, and it was wide in length that three buildings of the Cee Enterprise Diavolo branch could be built on it.I entered the building after admiring how big the building from the outside looks. The inside was more beautiful than the outside. A giant logo of the company's name was hung on the wall behind the receptionist.“Welcome ma'am,” the beautiful blonde-haired lady greeted me.“Rayner Carson, to meet with the CEO by nine am,” I informed her.She checked through the system in front of her, glanced at me, and back to her computer. “Ma'am you are a special visitor. I would like to call the CEO's PA to come pick you up himself as that was the instruction.” Sh
Nathaniel's POVI could see discomfort written all over her face. When she asked me what I said again, I knew she was surprised hearing my condition for the contract.When I was told about her and Aunt Elizabeth's constant requests for me to get married, I just wanted to do it so she would be happy and I would get what I wanted.I followed her one day after work to see what her life was all about, and that was the day she nearly broke my chest. I had followed her from her place after work, I didn't want Davis or one of my men to do it.I lost sight of the cab she entered when a truck passed by and some other cars covered the one she was in. That same night after she had walked out on me without apologizing, Davis told me when I got back home that Director Kim wanted to have a meeting with me concerning the contract.I had previously declined their Ceo, Mr. Lucas the contract. I wanted to give it to a smaller company, not a well-known company, although I was advised against it.I alway
Rayner’s POV I have never felt this belittled all my life. Yes, Maci and Director Kim did say hurtful words to me but this was the highest of it all. I couldn't stop c*rsing him under my breath while I left his office, what did he take me for? A desperate girl he can just turn to his wife at the first meeting, sorry, second meeting? I was so furious that even the company driver didn't dare ask me how the meeting went because it didn't go well with the look on my face. He even had the guts to tell me to think about it. He is just too arrogant and I can't stand such a man. One who looks down on people is a no for me, and I won't want to take that risk ever. I got back to the office and rushed to the restroom to calm myself. I could feel how hot my face was, it would have turned red by now. When I returned I sat on my desk, “Hey, where is Director Kim?” I asked Carista whose seat was closer to mine. “He is in his office. He hasn't come out since you left. I guess he has a lot of w

Nathaniel’s Pov“Natasha, you of all people should know I do not like being lied to. Okay, I get it, no one came to the scene of the accident, what about all the time I have spent in the hospital because I can tell I have not been here for just two days.” I had asked Natasha, who was still insisting no one came around.“Nathaniel, when will you ever believe me and what I say? I told you no one came at the scene and the same thing happened all through your being unconscious on this bed. Aunt Eli came and she couldn’t help but cry often so I had to send her back home while I took care of you myself.” She said.I breathed out, still in disbelief because how was that possible? Even if Rayner was very mad at me, she still wouldn’t go as far as ignoring me, not after she heard I was involved in an accident. What about Aunt Eli? She would have called her and asked why she wasn’t around. I was going to find out so there's not much to think about.“For how long have I been here?” I asked her.
Nathaniel’s PovI opened my eyes but quickly shut them because of the brightness around, after that, It took some time before I began to open gently. A sharp pain I felt on my head made me groan as I held my head like it would change anything. I still haven't been able to open my eyes to assess my environment because the pain in my head was still there.While trying to bear the pain till it either reduces or stops, a hand was placed on my shoulder. The desire to know whose hand it was pierced me as I slowly opened my eyes so the brightness in the room which made me close my eyes earlier won’t affect me much.I had opened my eyes after many trials before my eyes could at last get used to the light. Right before my eyes was someone standing and looking at me. This person’s face was above my face and was blocking the light a little.I turned my head to my left to see where I was since I wasn’t able to see the face of the person whose hand was on my shoulder and head above my face, blocki
Rayner’s Pov“So how was your day?” Henry asked me as soon as we got into the car.He helped me carry my bag after we hugged and held my hands till we got to where his car was parked. Henry was driving the latest BMW in black color. Without having to find out much about him, I could tell he was rich because his looks, dress, and the way he spoke about different topics showed it.He opened the door to the car for me, just like a gentleman would do and I slipped in before he gave me my bag. When we were sitting and he had put on the car, he asked about my day which I was so excited to share with him.“It was not bad at all. It's the best day I have had in a while now.” I said to him grinning from ear to ear.“What? Does that mean our meeting yesterday wasn’t one of your best days?” Henry asked.I felt my stomach make some silly noise as I felt shy, really shy. Besides him speaking to me yesterday, I had a great day, especially at the saloon. I closed my lips tightly as I thought of what
Rayner’s Pov“Ahhh, Good morning.” I had said unconsciously after yawning. When I realized I was staying alone now, I giggled at my silliness as I added my name. “Rayner,” I said a short prayer just to bless my day and then managed to get my lazy self out of bed.It was a new season in my life and I didn’t want to make any mistakes. I had to get to work earlier and then get as many clients as I could get just to increase my points again so I could qualify for the position I desired since the headquarters was now aware of my great impact on the company.I hurriedly went to the kitchen so I could make something. There was no way I was going to work without having breakfast. I entered my kitchen and that was when it occurred to me that my kitchen was empty.I haven’t bought anything since I made up my mind to go back to my old life, I searched the cabinets, perhaps I would be lucky to see something that I could prepare. I first searched the up cabinet but there was nothing and when I sea
Rayner’s PovI stood in front of my mirror as I spoke to myself like a sane person after crying and blaming myself for everything that had happened for more than two days. I was just so tired and needed to leave the new circle of life I was in.I wasn’t used to it and gradually it was ruining my life because so far, the points I suffered to get at work had been dropping due to my inactivity for a while.As I stood in front of the mirror looking at myself, all I could see was the Rayner of before and the Rayner of now. We were two different people and if I was asked, I would go for the Rayner of the past.She was very pretty and always agile despite going through a lot. She still does her work well and is always interested in getting better rather than dwelling on hurt. “How did I get here?” I muttered to myself quietly fighting my emotions.There was no need to regret my actions, I took that step earlier because I must have thought about it and it was better I leave, after all that wa
Rayner’s Pov “Useless,” I kept saying to myself all day. I wasn’t interested in doing anything even though I wanted to do something. My strength had failed me already and all I wanted was just to access Nath and apologize and watch him accept my apology. I left the hospital after crying my eyes out and hoping things get better after that day I got home and all I could do was pray every day that Nath would get better so I could see him myself. I was very sure if Nath was awake, he would allow me to reach him. I had thought countless times about the guards at the entrance of the hospital room. Who could have placed them there and why did they not tell the guards about me, what if they did but then why did the guards not allow me in? Or, wait, when I introduced myself as Nath’s wife, the first guard was about saying something like they had no idea Nath was married and all they know is that Nath had something. He was going to say it before the other rude guard stopped him. Everythin
Rayner’s PovI got outside, my whole body shaking as I waited for a cab to come pick me up. Oh, I miss those days when Joel or Max came to pick me up without me going through the stress of waiting for a cab. I had stood by the roadside for about ten minutes before a cab pulled over.I told him where I was going and he charged me. It was quite high but what could I do, I had to be at home so I could freshen up and then go meet Nath wherever he was and apologize to him.We got to my house and I quickly paid the driver as I ran into the building and straight to my apartment. I threw my bag away to the couch but it slipped and fell on the floor and that was when my mind came back for a moment.“Ahhhh….” I screamed that might have been too loud and the occupant of the next apartment might hear me. “My laptop,” I yelled.I was frustrated at that point, why was everything working against me at that moment? I rushed to the bag on the floor to check my laptop but when I opened the bag, my lapt
