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 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 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 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 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

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
