Rayner’s POV

After Davis had texted me the venue and meeting time, I sent a message to Director Kim that I wouldn't be coming to work the next day. He texted back that he was fine with it and I needed to rest. I wondered why he became nice suddenly or if he was feeling guilty.

The meeting time was ten in the morning at Blue Nath Country Club. Betty had left early after Jeff called her. I got dressed and headed to the venue.

I gave Davis a call when I got there. The country club was big and beautiful, and Davis never told me where they would be at exactly. He told me he was coming to pick me up.

While I waited for him, my thoughts were running wide, “Am I doing this?” I questioned myself.

I saw Davis's handsome face approaching me with a wide smile. He is fine but not compared to his boss. I followed behind him after exchanging pleasantries and we got to the golf course where Mr. Blackwood was playing golf.

He gestured on me to come closer which I obeyed even if I didn't want to. He pl

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S LOVE: TAMING HIS HEART   Chapter 17 - It's not ending there

    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,

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S LOVE: TAMING HIS HEART   Chapter 19 - Can't lose Rayner

    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

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S LOVE: TAMING HIS HEART   Chapter 20 - Are you married

    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

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S LOVE: TAMING HIS HEART   Chapter 21 - Don't act like you care

    Rayner’s PovThe drive to Nath’s place was a quiet one. The driver was not saying anything as his eyes were on the road while I was thinking about what was done to Daniel and who the guy who saved me was.If I continue to find the answer myself, I won’t get it, so I decided to ask. “Hey, sorry to distract you, I have a question to ask,” I said to the driver.He turned to look at me briefly before he spoke, “You are not distracting me, Mrs. Blackwood, it is my job to serve you. What is your question please?” He said and asked.“Okay, do you know the guy who helped me a while ago and what he did to Daniel?” My palm was sweaty and I felt so uncomfortable asking him such a question but I had to ask.I had turned to look at Daniel on the floor with the guy looking at him. I didn’t hear any noise behind me when Daniel held me before he fell to the ground. It’s not like I care about him but I just don’t want him to be in any form of danger and get into trouble.“Mrs Blackwood, I have no idea

    Nathaniel’s PovI knew Ray was stubborn and even if she did accept to go out with me to see Mac Jayson, she could still change her mind after I had sent the driver to deliver the dress and bring her over.I instructed the driver to put me on call as soon as he got to her house. He did and I was surprised when Ray collected the dress. The driver had wanted to end the call but I told him not to. I want to hear her get into the car while he drives her to me.Soon, I heard her apologize to the driver and then there was a little commotion in the background, then the driver telling someone Ray can’t leave his sight and then the person yelling. I got pissed and I had to call the people who I have instructed to watch Ray and make sure she was okay.I was told the situation and who the lunatic was. I told him that as long as nothing happened to Ray, he was safe. After a while, I was informed Daniel had been taken away as I instructed. I waited for the Ray to arrive in the next few minutes but

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S LOVE: TAMING HIS HEART   Chapter 23 - Stay away from Rayner

    Daniel’s PovI opened my eyes slowly but it seemed there were a few particles inside and all I could feel was severe pains in my eyes. But despite that, I forced my eyes open and I realized I was in a place I was in an unfamiliar environment.The last thing I remember was when I held Rayner by the neck and her driver had a gun pointed at me. I knew I behaved harshly but it’s painful watching another man have Rayner and what is more painful is her refusing to speak with me.I managed to raise my body to sit as I was lying down on the floor in a not-so-lit room. I sat up and looked around to observe my environment. The room I was in was dark but there was a fire made in the middle of the room which gave a little illumination.I was in a corner of the room and from where I was, I could see a group of people who were lighting up their cigars from one of the people in their midst. I looked around again, perhaps I could see more and understand what I was doing there.I couldn’t see far and

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S LOVE: TAMING HIS HEART   Chapter 24 - Thank you for helping me notice you

    Rayner’s PovMy life has returned to how it was before Nath came in. After the meeting with Mac Jayson, Nath asked me to go home with him. I did, but I told him I had something else to do.He didn’t argue with me as he only nodded. When we got to his house, the maids were standing outside waiting, their heads bowed to the floor. He held my hands while I followed him from behind.We got inside and that was when I realized the reason he asked me to go with him was because he wanted us to eat lunch together. I didn’t show how happy I was but trust me, I was very happy.I honestly do not have anything to eat when I get home. Eating lunch at his place was the best thing that could happen to me for the day. I did hurry to finish the lunch and after that, he instructed a maid to pack something up for me for dinner.I rolled my eyes when he gave that instruction and when the maid had left, I confronted him. “Why tell your maid to pack me dinner? Dinner is in like six hours from now.” I asked

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S LOVE: TAMING HIS HEART   Chapter 130 - Nightmare

    Rayner's PovKen dropped me off at my apartment before he left. As soon as I shut the door, I fell on the floor. My head banged, my eyes hurt but I couldn't find the strength to stop crying.The pain was one I didn't think I would ever go through. Catching Daniel in the act was painful but the one with Nath was more painful even when I didn't see him in bed with Natasha.I cried until I slept off, then woke up and continued. My phone vibrated, and I tried to see who was calling me.I pressed the power button of my phone and the screen lit up. The light from the screen almost blinded my eyes and so I quickly shut my eyes.I opened it gently, opening and closing it immediately till I could finally open it very well. It was Mum who was calling. I was in the mood to talk to her so I gently locked my phone.I managed to stand up from the floor right behind the door where I had cried and fell asleep. I walked to the bathroom, took a cold bath and went to my room.I fell on the bed, putting

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S LOVE: TAMING HIS HEART   Chapter 129 - Heartbroken

    "Miss Rayner, are you okay now?" Ken asked me.Ken had parked the car by the roadside and stepped out. I noticed he stood behind the car while I cried my eyes and heart out.My eyes became heavy, and not only that, it started to ache me, but I didn't stop crying. I asked myself a lot of questions that I couldn't answer.It felt like I had been betrayed. Like I had been used to while away time. I didn't have to think about it much; the lady Nath held was Natasha.The sight of how he held her hands so dearly flashed before my eyes, and that caused me to cry even harder.I was considering stopping when Ken came to the window and asked me if I was okay. I wiped the tears on my face, sniffed, and nodded slowly.Ken turned around and entered the driver's seat. He looked at me for a few seconds before he started the car."Where do you want to go Miss Rayner?" Ken asked.He didn't move the car till I responded. "I want to go back home," I informed him.He nodded and moved the car. The car rem

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S LOVE: TAMING HIS HEART   Chapter 128 - Meeting Nathaniel

    Rayner’s PovI lifted the upper part of my body from the bed immediately I woke up and it came with a banging sound on my head. I lay down again and shut my eyes. Perhaps, I got up too early, just right after I woke up.I took in deep breaths as I waited for the headache to relieve me a little so I could do my chores and get out to achieve my goal for the day. A smile broke out from my face as the memories of Nath and I came to my mind.The previous night, I had thought about what it would be like to talk with Nath again. I didn’t know for how long I was lost in thought but I eventually slept off while still thinking. I panicked because I didn’t know what it would be like to be in the same space with Nath again.My greatest fear was how he would react. Would Nath be calm so we could talk calmly or he would be aggressive toward me for wanting to divorce him which led to the accident that almost cost him his life?My thoughts all through the previous night ran wild. A lot of things goin

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S LOVE: TAMING HIS HEART   Chapter 127 - Congratulations

    Rayner’s PovI entered the department with a bright smile on my face. The first thing on my mind was to record the huge sales I had made and then plan the next day. I felt it would be a long day for me so I needed to plan it.I input my sale on my profile and right before my eyes, my point from from seventy-eight to eighty-five. I blinked severally to be certain I wasn’t seeing the wrong numbers but I saw right. I jumped up and spun taking my time to move my leg as I further danced.Something that looked so impossible was something I was got with so much ease. I thanked Nath in my heart before I moved my chair backward to sit down. As I moved my head, the side of my eyes caught Christy's eyes on me. She looked at me with so much hatred that I could tell if she had the power, she would have killed me.I intentionally lifted my head, looked at her, and then gave her a bright smile revealing my teeth to her. She looked at me from head to toe with her lips tightly closed and then looked a

    Rayner’s Pov“Welcome once again to Cee Enterprises Sir.” I greeted the man who sat opposite me.He beamed with a smile as he grinned from ear to ear, his legs were crossed with one resting on the other while he relaxed his back on the chair. I smartly put away all the business papers with me.It was time to know who the man was and who directed him to me. I also relaxed on the chair as I remembered the lesson Nath had taken me through some time ago. He requested a glass of water and rather than taking his orders, I called someone else to get the water.“So, you are Mrs Blackwood?” He asked as if surprised to see who gets to be called Mrs. Blackwood.I smiled while he also smiled. Because the person who I asked to get us water brought two bottles, I took my time to open mine, and sip from it before I replied to him.“Well, you do not have to be so surprised or do you think I am not worthy of being the wife of Nathaniel Blackwood?” I asked.I was being careful with my words. I didn’t w

    Rayner’s Pov“Another day to face some ugly faces,” I muttered as I opened my eyes.I quickly got dressed and headed to work, the previous day's drama from Henry had made me get to the office late which I didn’t want to happen again.Henry kept calling me all through the night but when I didn’t take his call, he sent a text message that claimed he wanted to apologize for what he did but I didn’t care. He was out of my life and I didn’t want to hear from him anymore.I got to the office before everyone and I was glad I did. It was a good opportunity for me to sort out my files and the clients the delivery team had yet to send their gadgets. I began as soon as I sat down and before the next person entered, I was halfway done.Soon the office became full and everyone was busy. I could see the shock on Christy’s face when she saw me already at the office and even busy. I sent the clients that are yet to receive their gadgets a text. I wanted all my clients to get their good before I would

    Rayner's Pov“You are? Who is the lucky guy?” Ken asked, his eyes glistening as he blinked.He looked like a baby who had seen his favorite food and couldn't help but jump around happily.I bit my lower lip, lost in thought, as I looked for the best way to put it to Ken so he wouldn't misunderstand me. At last, I found a way."The guy from this morning. Nathaniel Blackwood, it was a contract marriage thing which I didn't want to do in the first place but later went for it cause of my job and promotion which did not even go through along the line, I fell for him but we were in a contract marriage so I have to follow the rules.""These few days, I thought my feelings for him were dead, but seeing him today, I knew I still love him." I sunk into the car seat my gaze through the window as my heart aches with worry.Ken bit his fingers, his eyes on the wheel as he thought about something before he turned to me."Do you want to go back to him?" He asked genuinely. His eyes told me he had a

    Rayner’s Pov“Hmmm.” I breathed out, tired and confused.I had just one person I could talk to and that was Ken. Betty was busy with her life and I understood that setting up a family wasn't an easy peasy.“Ken? Can I talk to you? I need your opinion on something.” I said after I had mustered all the courage I had left in me.I barely knew Ken but it felt like I had known him for a long time. I genuinely respected his help and if he didn't look so young, I would have concluded he liked me and just wanted to get close to me.“Yes, Miss Rayner. Always feel free to discuss anything you find disturbing and want to share.” Ken said to me with a smile that revealed his not-too-white teeth.I faked a smile and turned to the window which Ken had earlier let down so a fresh breeze would stamp my face and give me that refreshed breath and look.I took in a deep breath and then breathed out heavily. I was ready to tell Ken what my thoughts were about everything.“Say you have been so unlucky in

    Nathaniel’s Pov“Mr. Blackwood, the cup is filled,” Davis called out to me when I didn’t stop as I filled my cup with tea.My mind was filled with a lot of thoughts, not about the same thing but about different things, but it all linked to one thing: Rayner. I couldn’t stop myself as I thought about our meeting and Why the heavens allowed us to meet.Davis had noticed my mood as soon as I stepped into the office and had refused to leave my sight. It’s good to have staff who have been with you for a long time and are very familiar with your mood.I had volunteered to get my cup filled myself, although Davis requested to help me, but I declined. I looked at the floor and it was a mess. I shut my eyes in regret, but it couldn’t be compared to how overwhelmed I felt.I felt worked up but I couldn’t give a good reason why. The clients I was in so much hurry to meet couldn’t make it, and that made me sad. I would have waited for Max to get done with the car; I wouldn’t have gotten in contac
