Rayner's POV

I 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 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

    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

    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

He has a plain face and so far working with him, I know that expressionless face. He was not so far from fury.He got to us and grabbed Katherine by the arm, “You should learn to mind your business, Katherine.” Director Kim said.“Director Kim, you always cover up for Ray, is she your sex toy?” Katherine asked.I saw Daniel look at me in disbelief, his mouth left open and his eyes too. I shut my eyes, tears gathering but I have to fight it so it doesn't fall.”Everything you are saying is trash. You should focus on improving your skills and not fighting Rayner rather, try to beg her to teach you.” Director Kim said.My eyes were still shut, my heart in pain but I could still tell what they were doing.

    Rayner’s PovJust for me, Nath booked the whole spa. When we entered, everything in the spa was empty. All the spa staff were standing waiting for us to enter, and when we got to the entrance, they welcomed us.“Welcome, Mr. and Mrs Blackwood.” They greeted us.Nath held my hands and we kept walking inside. We got inside and all the staff entered inside too, all behind us. They were all acting extra smart and I wondered if it was because of this man standing beside me.They deployed to their various duties and Nath finally spoke. “I want you to give my woman the best spa experience ever.” He instructed them.“Yes, sir Blackwood.” They all yelled.I was first offered a drink and another brought their menu which consisted of the list of services they offered. I picked my favorite among the body and facial treatments, but after we were done, Nath instructed me to have a hot tub bath, eyelash tinting, and pedicure and manicure.We had spent more time there than I had imagined.

    Nathaniel Pov'sI opened my eyes abruptly to the vibration of my phone on the stool close to my bed. Natasha was still sleeping behind me, her head on my arm.These past few days being with Natasha, I have learned to accept her and see her for the good person she claims to be. She has been all caring and loving and I do appreciate her effort to make sure I am well.Even though we have been together for the past few days, I have promised myself not to touch her till I am ready. I want to be sure of my feelings for her and not mix it up with sex.I was still deciding. If she was not up to the standard, I would just let her go while I went back to being single. That era was peaceful for me with no drama at all.I checked the caller and it was Scott. Scott has been sending me pictures of Rayner with a brief explanation of what is going on in her life at the moment. All her movement, I knew about it all.I have warned Scott countless times never to send me pictures of Rayner or tell me wha

    Rayner’s PovI held my phone vibrating and ringing on my hand while I stared at it with no emotions or feelings. I wasn’t interested in taking the call because I had no words to say to him. The phone kept ringing, its sound filling the car but I wasn’t moved.Ken packed the car at a spot and watched him cry my eyes out looking at the phone and the name of the caller. I don’t know for how long I cried but my head ached and that was how I knew I had cried for long.Ken cleared his throat and I lifted my eyes off the ringing phone to look at him. “I think you have and need to take that call to hear what he has to say. He might have a good explanation for what he did.” Ken advised me.I gave a thought to what Ken said and I could see a little truth in it. The phone started to ring again and I answered the call.“Hello Rayner, what is wrong with you? Why have you refused to take my call? I have called you more than ten times.” Henry yelled from his end.“Are you that jobless to have called

    Rayner’s PovThe cab driver was still outside when I got out. I didn’t remember telling him to stay but why was he still waiting for me? I walked up to his car and his eyes were shut. I knocked softly on the glass and he opened his eyes.He opened the car for me to enter and unlike every other time, I sat in front of him. My mind was filled with a lot of irrelevant things and I needed someone to speak with and at that moment, he was the only one I had.“Why didn’t you leave?” I asked him slipping into the car.“Because you didn’t ask me to leave.” He responded.“Really. I am sorry to have kept you waiting, I forgot. I will always remember it from now.” I smiled and he nodded. He turned on the car and we began the quiet ride. I needed to talk to someone and there was someone in front of me.“So, why did you decide to always carry me for free and abandon those clients that would pay you a huge sum of money?” I started the conversation.He smiled, “I didn’t abandon my other clients and m

    Rayner’s PovOn our way, the only thoughts on my mind were words to lash Henry with. He had behaved childish and I didn’t like it in any way. I had told him I was at Mom’s place but he kept insisting I was with some sort of main guy.My head was full so I didn’t have the time to discuss with the cab driver and find out little details about him. We arrived at the location Henry sent to me that he was at. It was a mini club. The place reeked with smoke and alcohol and as I entered, I couldn’t stop myself from coughing till I felt pains in my chest.I saw a few girls who wore very revealing and short dresses inside the club. For a split second, I thought Henry must have sent me the wrong address. I made an attempt to call him but as I lifted my eyes off my phone, I saw Henry sitting at a corner of the club.He had a glass of a drink in his hand while a lady was on his thighs turning her waist. I looked at Henry and it was clear to me from his face that he was enjoying the moment. He kept

    Rayner’s PovI opened my eyes to see Mom staring and smiling at me. “Do you miss me that much?” I asked her with a smirk.She hit me on my shoulder playfully and we both laughed as I sat up to hug her. “You are looking good Rayner, I miss you so much,” Mom whispered into my ear.“I miss you more Mom. But wait, if you truly miss me, why didn’t you call me for once?” I asked her.Mom was quiet for a few minutes before she spoke. “I want you to enjoy your time with Nathaniel. I have seen a lot of pictures of you both on the internet, the maid shows them to me anytime she sees them.”“I didn’t call you when Nathaniel got involved in an accident because I didn’t want to make you cry. I raised you to be a strong woman and I am very happy you are doing well now that Nathaniel is up.” My heart was beating fast as Mom spoke about Nath. There was no way Mom would be happy when she found out that Nath and I were no longer together. I had wanted to tell her but I just have to keep my mouth shut

    Rayner’s PovEvery one of my things was intact, which I checked after the cab driver had zoomed off. It was rare to see people who would genuinely help you in Diavolo and so I was shocked that a cab driver who needs money more than me was willing to help without taking charges.As always, Mom’s environment was quiet but her apartment was more quiet. I had expected a little bit of noise from inside the house but there was none. Fear gripped me as my heart clenched inside of me while I walked slowly into her apartment.I knocked on the door waiting for her to open up but no one answered. I tried to call her but her line was not connecting, the same issue I went through trying to reach out to Mac Jayson. I tried again and pinned my ear to the door.I heard the faint ringing of the phone from inside the house and after that, the phone was answered.“Good morning Mrs Blackwood.” The maid had answered the call and she was speaking in a whisper. Was mom sleeping? I thought.“Good morning. I

    Rayner’s PovI woke up to my head banging seriously but what banged more than my head was the loud knock on my door. It scared me that I didn’t know when I exclaimed.“Jezz, who the hell could be knocking on my door this early?” I exclaimed.Despite how much the person knocked, I knew I wasn’t going out till I had washed my teeth and at least my face. I stood up from my bed, my head still banging so much and then managed to clean up.I got done in a few minutes and changed my dress from my nightwear to joggers and a tee shirt. My n*pple was revealing through the shirt but I didn’t care. I was in my house when whoever it would be knocked on the door.I arranged myself as I walked to the door with my oversized slippers. I opened the door and came in contact with the building agent. He barely came around but seeing him and then at my door meant there was a pressing issue that needed to be addressed immediately.I couldn’t think of any reason why he would come to my apartment to knock so

    Rayner’s PovThe smile on Henry’s face the previous day after I gave him a yes was one I had never seen on him, he just couldn’t stop smiling all through till he dropped me at home. I don’t know why he was that happy but for me, I was happy because I had finally gotten someone better.Yes, to me, Henry looked better. He was higher than me in financial status but even if he were to pop the question for me to marry him because that’s what I feel he would ask, there was no way I would give him a response immediately, and before then, I should have at least achieved my dream position.“Oh, speaking of dream position, what the hell did that new girl called Christy do? Was she threatening me?” I asked myself, recalling the incident and our two private encounters.I picked up my phone and went to the company’s website. The rank of every staff member was on the website, it was the quickest way to know your rank in the company without having to ask your Director.Since I could see everyone’s s

    Rayner’s PovI lifted my upper body from the bed as I said my usual prayers after which I thought about how many days would be. It’s Friday and the weekend comes next and I had to plan to go out because there was no one I would go out with.I threw my head to the back as I moved it in a circular movement slowly for flexibility. I then did the same thing for my both shoulders before I got off the bed. It was my routine because, for me, those are the parts of my body I stress the most.My eyes were always glued to the computer and then my shoulder and my finger did the typing every time. I headed straight to the kitchen to prepare my lunch because I was cutting down on my expenses. I had things I needed money for and my salary was just too small.I made something and then packed it into my lunch box. Arranged everything and left the house. My head was filled knowing the amount of untouched work I have to attend to when I get to work and who knows, I might just not take my lunch.As I st
