Rayner’s PovI woke up feeling refreshed, the bed in my room at Nath’s place was way softer than the one I had slept on in the hospital. It was the wedding day and I wasn’t excited because it was the wedding day but I was excited because I would finally be getting the contract from Nath.At long last, in a few days, I will become the president of the business management department, a position that is a step away from that of Director Kim. Yes, it’s the beginning of joy for me and I won’t joke with it.I will finally be able to make a big step in my dream after the wedding today. Betty was still sleeping so I gently shook her to wake her up.“Betty, it’s morning and the day of the wedding,” I whispered into her ears.Last night, I had thought I would see Nath before going to sleep but he didn’t return even till midnight. Maybe he is spending some time with his girls because there is no way he would be working that late.“Just go back to sleep, no one has come to wake us up,” Betty said
Rayner’s PovAunt Eli walked to the car I was in as I was told to wait till I was being told to come out. “Rayner, I have a surprise for you after the wedding. I need to go welcome my guest now.” She waved me bye and then entered into the crowd.I watched from the car as Nath exchanged pleasantries. It was funny how the people around me thought he was a good person because he spoke freely with them. Jeff came out to check on his girl, and I will be real with you, I love the fact that Betty has finally gotten herself a man and not some douche bag but then there was a tiny bit of jealousy inside of me.I wished I had also gotten myself a man who even if all these arrangements are playing out, would trust me not to do anything with Nath, and as soon as the contract is over, we will go back to being the thing we were and even get married.I kept watching as the people outside moved from exchanging pleasantries to gradually entering the church for the wedding process to begin. Soon a girl
Rayner’s Pov“Thank you,” I said joyfully almost jumping up.The only thing in my head was the fact that I would be president in a few days. Woah!!! It was the best feeling ever, I am not going to lie. That feeling you get when you have made another step in achieving a goal, that’s exactly how I feel.I was about to walk out of Nath’s room when he stopped me.“Rayner?” He called me, his voice so calm and peaceful.I stopped in my tracks as I turned to him, “How may I help you?” I was too happy to just be bored by the tone of his voice.“I am traveling out of Diavolo today, and will be back in a few days, there is a company I need to invest in at Oxagon and then I also have to check on my company over there.” He explained calmly.“It’s fine, it’s not like is my business anyway,” I said plainly.“I am sorry I will have to leave you alone on our wedding night, even though it’s a contract marriage, it would have been better if we spent time alone together just to make everyone think… you
Rayner’s PovI have only spent two working days at home and I was no longer comfortable. Just be in Nath's room all day and only get out when I want to have breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I informed Aunt Eli I would be resuming work and she didn’t argue.According to her in her words, “I have met with the weirdest couples ever.” Well, she would have understood if she knew what Nath and I were into. For Nath, he was still not back but he always called me.He calls me every morning and every evening. One of the days he called me, he said something that made me feel, I don’t know how I felt at that point, he said, “I kind of miss you, are you sure you are okay without me?” He said.Well you know, for a few seconds, I didn’t give him any response, I just kept quiet and he didn’t say anything too. When I was done processing what he said and reminding myself that this way Nathaniel Blackwood, I replied to him.“I am enjoying so much peace in your absence and I think you should stay some more
Rayner’s PovI was given my own office after the promotion just beside that of Director Kim. It’s been only one day of being the president of the business management department and I was already choked with a lot of work.I told Nathaniel about the promotion and he congratulated me and encouraged me more to strive for a far bigger position. If I continue to listen to Nath, I might just change what I want from the COO to the CEO position.Before I left home for work, Aunt Eli had told me she would call me out of work later because she had yet to present the surprise she had for me. I told her I would take an excuse from my boss who happens to be Director Kim.Nath was returning today and I wonder why Aunt Eli would have to wait for the surprise to be the same day Nath was returning. I thanked her and went to work. Before I entered my new office, Carista ran to me.“Mrs Blackwood, a client is coming as we speak and I think he would be a big client because he specifically requested to do
Rayner’s Pov“Thank you for your help Rayner, but there is bad news, I hope you can bear this.” Director Kim said.I didn’t know if I should tell him to go on with it or tell him to keep it to himself. I suddenly became uncomfortable. There was silence between us as my thoughts went wild because if it was something that had to do with the company, everyone would be present.Did a client I got lay a complaint about me or refuse to do business with Cee Enterprises? If I continue to look at Director Kim, I won’t get to find out what this bad news is and who it’s going to affect.I pulled myself together and asked him, “What is the bad news Director Kim?”“This is it…” Just when he was about to tell me, Carista came in because we were in his office not mine.“Director Kim, the client you have been expecting since last week is here now.” She announced.A smile broke out on Director Kim’s face. “Oh great news, I will be with him shortly,” He said happily and when Carista left, he turned to
Nathaniel’s PovThe last few days or should I say weeks have been hectic for me and I hated myself for everything that happened, especially the part that has to do with Rayner being kidnapped and I being threatened if anything happens to her.At the engagement party when there was news about Rayner and me being in a contract marriage, I vowed to get whoever was behind it, and in a few hours, I got the person. I am Nathaniel Blackwood of Diavolo, a name people hear and tremble.I told Rayner about who the perpetrator was and she requested Katherine be brought in so she could give her a treat. Yeah, people always tell me that I have this very contagious personality so I wasn’t surprised when Rayner made such a request.I know someone out there who wants to know where Katherine is, I will spill it. She is at the forbidden part of Diavolo prison where only murderers reside and when they find out she isn’t a murderer, they deal with her, I got a lot of clips from the warden.I thought that
Nathaniel’s PovThat kiss did a lot to my body and then, I wanted to take over but then again, I didn’t want her to get back to her senses and feel I took advantage of her being vulnerable so I allowed her to take control to only take control when she asked me to.I know I might be getting a worse threat than the one I got when she was kidnapped but I don’t mind at this point. We kissed as her hand moved all over my face and since she was on top of me, I could only place my hand on her waist.Rayner began to unbutton my shirt and soon my shirt was on the floor. She admired my broad shoulders which I guess she was seeing for the first time and then next thing, her tongue was on my nipple.Fuck! Who the hell informed this girl about my first weak point? Her tongue was doing a good job on those nipples of mine while my man was getting stronger under her. The pressure was getting too much and I threw my head backward.It’s been a long time since I had sex, apparently since Rayner came int
Rayner's Pov“What is it Nath, you can always talk to me.” I reminded him.“The thing is,” Nath stuttered, “Hold on, let me think of the right words to use.” I watched him as he shit his eyes while laying beside me in bed thinking of the best words to use for whatever he wanted to say.I was still waiting for him when there was a knock on our door, it was either Aunt Eli or Mom but whoever that person was, they were coming at the wrong time. Nath would tell me we should talk about it later.Nath jumped out of bed, put on his shorts which were on the floor, and went straight to the door to see who it was. Like I guess it was Aunt Eli, she said she wanted to see the both of us.Nath looked at me and told her I was still sleeping and he had a few things to attend to. But she didn't care as she asked Nath to wake me up because it was important.I stood up before Nath came back inside and put on my dress. I walked to the door.“ Aunt Eli, I am awake now,” I said.“Good, should I come in,
Rayner’s PovAfter the strange meeting with Daniel and Katherine the previous day, I was too tired to even speak with Nath he too was just too tired. We both slept off in each others’ arms without talking to each other.In the morning, I woke up feeling so agile that it felt like I could move a mountain. Nath too was up and for the first time since we had to share this room, Nath woke up and was not on his phone.“Good morning, Nath.” I greeted him before I stood up from the bed to brush my teeth. I was very hungry because I forgot to eat the previous night.“Good morning my little tigress,” Nath said, watching me as I went inside the bathroom. I began to brush my teeth when the door to the bathroom opened and Nath came in. “Let’s brush our teeth together,” Nath said.He joined me and even set his camera on to capture the moment and I love it. We finished brushing our teeth together when our early morning breakfast was served and again, we both devoured the food.It was when we had fi
Rayner’s PovAfter Betty’s wedding, I returned to work but it was just for a while because, after the day I returned to work, there would be a worker’s holiday for everybody in Diavolo. Nath had planned what we were going to do for the first day of the holiday and I just couldn’t wait.It was the custom of Cee Enterprises that before this holiday, the best staff for the period would be given an award, and that award-giving day was this day. The most punctual worker was also given an award; it was something that challenged the staff.I got to the office and saw that everything had been arranged and they were waiting for everyone to arrive. If I were to go home with anything, it would be the worker who always came late to work because I was never early, not even by mistake.“Welcome Ray, guess what?” Carista stopped me at the door.“Thank you Carista and I know, it’s an award-giving day, you will most likely be going home with two or more awards,” I said to her rolling my eyes.“No, I k
Rayner’s PovIt was Betty’s wedding, I couldn’t stay at her place because of Mom and then Nath too. Nath’s plan was for the three of us to get to the wedding at the same time while one of the maids followed us to help us watch Mom.Mom woke everyone up because she could walk a few distance by herself without the use of any support. She knocked on our door then at the maid taking care of her. I went out to see her while Nath remained in bed because he was exhausted.“Good morning Mom,” I greeted her.“Good morning Rayner, Nath would still be in bed I guess because he was very tired last night.” Mom said.After we rested a little after the hot bathroom sex, we went back to the hospital to take Mom, and the maid and Nath drove then there was traffic on the way and he had a meeting he had to meet up with.When we finally passed, Nath drove with so much spent just to get home on time and he remained in the meeting till midnight. By the time Mom came to knock on the door, Nath had only slep
Rayner's PovIt's been a few days after Mom’s surgery and she could talk well again. I was back to being the active Rayner and Nath resumed work.To that woman who would end up with Nath, she would be the luckiest person on earth I thought to myself.The day Mom woke up, she couldn't recognize anyone at first, and again I panicked over it and again Nath encouraged me and told me she would be okay.A doctor came to check on her and said we should give her time and that she would be fine and we did that. As soon as Mom recognized everyone, she asked me to explain how she got to the hospital.Her neighbor who saved her came around one time after the surgery but Mom could not recognize him which he didn't mind.So when she finally spoke and recognized everyone, I explained to her how everybody supported me and she couldn't be more thankful.She thanked Nath and I told her the doctor who performed the surgery on her was not from Diavolo and when I tried to tell her who invited the doctor,
Rayner's PovIt's been days and neither Nath nor I have been to work but his was better than mine. All his meetings were done online and sealed a lot of deals in the process.I felt sad because he had to work harder to cover up the expenses I made for Mom's surgery and that was why he was always on a call with his clients trying to convince them to work with Blue Nath.I sent a text to Director Kim the day I was called explaining my circumstances to him and he allowed me to stay with Mom. Carista didn't fail to call me every day to know if I needed anything.I received love from all corners and I was glad I got genuinely caring people around me. Mom opened her eyes after she received a few treatments but she could barely speak out.The doctor Mac Jayson spoke about has arrived and the surgery would begin later in the day. My phone buzzed and I checked and it was Director Kim who was calling me.I took the phone and excused Nath who was in a meeting and Mom who was sleeping as I went o
Rayner’s PovI woke up with Nath beside me wide awake with his eyes fixed on me and his hands still around me.“Good morning sleeping beauty.” Nath greeted me first and I felt embarrassed.“Good morning Nath,” I greeted back and then he kissed me on the lip and then on my head and back to my lips.“You look really beautiful this morning and all I want is for us to remain in bed all day,” Nath whined but I laughed.“It's still a working day you know and I have an employer unlike you who is the boss.” I remind him.“Yes, I remember and that's the only reason I would let you go right now.” Nath freed me and then I slipped out of the bed.I was heading to the bathroom when my phone rang and quickly I went closer to check who the caller was and it was Mom.I answered the call and placed it on my ear but the voice I heard didn't belong to Mom.“Who are you please?” I asked the person.“I say this contact as this woman’s emergency contact.”“I am her daughter,” I said not allowing the man to
Rayner’s PovI got into the car Nath had just bought with Joel being the driver. He drove slowly to the location Nath sent him while I watched the city of Diavolo through the window.I can't remember the last time I went on a date, not even with that stupid Daniel who almost ended me. The car finally came to a halt and before I could open the door to step down a staff of the restaurant helped me.I came down from the car and was faced with all the staff facing each other. As soon as they saw me, they all bent down to welcome me.“Welcome to High Class Mrs Blackwood,” they said.There was no need to think much, Nath had booked the whole restaurant just for us. The man who opened the door of the car for me led me to where Nath was.I had thought it was the rooftop of the building but I was wrong because Nath was in a hall in the restaurant. He sat there calmly waiting for me.The door to the hall was a transparent glass that allowed me to see Nath and everything inside the hall. I could
Rayner’s PovSo far, everything has been going well. Nath and I have bonded so well that we talk to each other every day at work and there are times when I feel lonely, I call him and he does the same most times.After getting that big contract from Mr. Brian who was referred to me by Nath, the headquarters sent me an email apologizing.They claim that they have seen the contributions I have brought to the company but then they couldn't break laws but they promised to promote me as soon as I meet the year's time.I have taken my mind off the promotion and everything because just as Nath advised, I was working because I loved to work and not because I wanted to be promoted.The new life was so peaceful for me and I must confess, I had earlier thought that becoming a better person in a career would earn one happiness but at that point, I was already having a rethink about that perspective.Since I refused to spend the money on the black card, Nath always took me shopping when he wasn't
