Rayner's POVHe was right. The earlier I accept that my status has changed and I am in a contract marriage with the country's richest man, the better I can act and pretend before everyone.True to his words, a car was waiting outside to take me home. The driver honked when I came out, and I went in. It was a quiet drive, giving me the time to reflect on the decision I had made.Everything was happening outside what I had planned. Getting married without becoming the COO to think he was far richer than me.I gritted my teeth, scared of the decision I had made. I wanted to call Mom and tell her about it, but she wouldn't pick up her phone if I was the one calling.I pray I don't regret this decision I have made, but thinking about it right now, what more pain will I feel besides the one I have gone through?He has made my life a living hell, and I won't be surprised if he does worse now that I have accepted his proposal. As Betty advised, I will just get this done and end the marriage w
Rayner's POVI was already worried about what simple dish I could make and have for lunch when the delivery guy called me. I wasn't expecting anything from Nathaniel, but I took it either way. I signed on to the booklet the delivery guy gave to me and went back to my apartment. He sent a text saying he hoped I enjoyed it, addressing me as Mrs. Blackwood. There was no need to respond to his message. I dropped my phone on the couch and sat on the floor. I have no idea of what he sent but I became curious after his text. When I opened the box, I got teary-eyed, and I didn't know when I screamed for good. Inside the box were eight crispy fried chicken pieces with french fries, a BBQ sauce, and a cup of orange juice. How did he know I was hungry? I couldn't be happier, I picked up my phone. I wanted to give him a call to thank him, but I stopped myself. I can't make him think I am happy with it. I will just enjoy myself, he is gradually paying for the pain he cost me, but this is his,
Daniel's POV “I regret ever trusting you, Maci,” I yelled at Maci in frustration after a meeting the company employee had. After that night, I returned to Diavolo, and Rayner caught me banging Maci passionately. I tried to run after her to apologize, but Maci stopped me, I hadn't spoken with Rayner. I tried reaching her the next day, but she blocked my line, even on all social handles. I was deeply sad knowing I had hurt a girl who truly loved me. I would have gone to her place to talk things out with her, but she doesn't stay at home. If she gave me a second chance, I would end things with Maci immediately. That's after I had gotten what I wanted through her. I remember Rayner didn't want to be my girlfriend when I first approached her. I met her at a business seminar where different companies' staff converged to learn new strategies. I got her number from a colleague of hers, and I never told her who it was even when she asked me. After several chases, she accepted to be m
Rayner's POVSaturdays for me are special, I sleep till I feel like waking up without any fear. I woke up earlier, looked around my messy room, and slept back.I was still sleeping, enjoying my peace because that's the only place I enjoy peace when my phone rang. “It's Saturday, who could be calling me.” I groaned.I located my phone with my hand and answered the call to hear the voice of the only man who had made me lose my peace for days.“Mrs. Madavaski, a driver is waiting for you outside your apartment. He has a dress with him, take it from him and put that on. He will bring you to me.” Nathaniel explained.His voice was more calm than usual and I wondered if he was okay. What is my business if he isn't fine, I have a job and that's what I will face although I plan on playing a few revenge games on him.“Yes boss,” I responded intentionally.“Boss? You know what, never mind.” He said, “I am waiting for you.”Was he tired already? For the few days we have spoken with each other, w
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
