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 PovI woke up to see myself in Nath’s embrace, he was still sleeping and from the way he was sleeping, I could tell he was really tired.Nath was supposed to get back from Oxagon and rest but then I drained all the energy left in him. I know you are right, I was a bit tipsy last night but I still had my senses intact.All I wanted was to get tipsy last night and get fucked and I did get what I wanted and it helped me forget everything Director Kim said. These past few days have been full of little happy moments and much pain that I just wanted to use sex to make the happy moment more.I watched Nath as he slept, we were still both naked and then my eyes went to his broad chest and down to his manhood. The long thing was still standing while its owner was asleep, or was it because our skin was still touching?My cupcake twitched at the sight of Nath’s manhood which sent a message to my brain that it wanted another good sex like the one of last night. Nath was asleep while his
Rayner’s PovAll through the weekend, Nath and I were indoors, no need to think much, we had sex at every touch we got from each other. Nath didn’t show any form of weakness neither did I.I have never done that, having sex for three days but it was an experience I will never forget. I got up from bed before Nath because I needed to be at work early and Nath helped me dress up and even kissed me before I left.When we took a break from having sex the previous day, Nath had called Director Kim to ask him if there was anything that could be done even if it meant him speaking with the CEO of Cee Enterprise over it.“I am sorry Mr. Blackwood, but there is nothing the CEO can do about it because. It’s a rule in the company code and ethics and if it is bent because of Rayner, other people would want the same thing.”“I am once again very sorry for promoting her without the approval of the headquarters.” Director Kim had told Nath when he asked him if anything could be done.“Okay, but I tru
Rayner’s PovI took Nath’s advice and as I headed to work, I branched by a wine shop to get him a very sweet wine which I could use to apologise to him. I think right now, I have finally concluded that I was wrong.But I should be understood, it was just me reacting. I was promoted and the congratulations didn’t last up to a week before it was taken back. They didn’t even consider my feelings and if I would be able to bear the embarrassment.I entered the wine shop and the wine I picked was so expensive that if I used my own money, there would be nothing left in my account. For the very first time, I thought about the black card Nath gave to me.I pulled my phone out of my bag and I dialed Nath’s number. I had to inform him about what I am intending to do. Nath answered the call after the second ring.“Hey, little tigress” Nath said.“Hey, very big tiger,” I replied. I had finally gotten a name to call him after he refused to stop calling me Little Tigress.“So what's going on, are
Rayner’s PovNath hugged me and hummed a lullaby for me till I fell asleep last night. That was after we took our bath together because he noticed I had taken my bath since I got back from work. I woke up very tired and coupled with what happened at the company the [previous day, I didn’t want to go to work.Nath woke up after I woke up and then he was shocked to see me return to sleep after I had sat up on the bed for a few minutes, “Rayner, why are you going back to bed?” He asked me.There were times he called me by my name and times he called me little tigress. “I don’t feel like going to work today, I will call Director Kim later and tell him about it,” I explained to him.Nath played down and got close to me then he whispered into my ears, "You should know better by now that I don’t encourage laziness and giving up early.” He said.“But the energy I am getting from the company these few days has not been encouraging and I just need to be alone and regain my sanity,” I complained
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
