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“What?!” I exclaimed and Nath repeated what he said but this time shorter.“Rayner I like you, and I wish we could be together and see each other as partners and not a contract marriage partner,” Nath repeated.“You are joking right?” I arched my brow waiting for him to give me a response.He looked at me for a while before he smiled, “No Rayner, I am being real.” He said.I chuckled because it was hilarious for me and it was the last thing I expected him to tell me but that’s what he was saying. I took my time to think of a response to give to him so I could finally confirm that he was joking.“When did you realize you are beginning to like me and what is that thing you like about me?” I asked after I came up with something.I was just so speechless because I had never thought about it. Nath first breathed out before he took my hand and then cupped it with his.“Everything about you made me fall in love with you Rayner. I just can’t point out that thing that made me fall
Nathaniel’s PovA loud sigh was the only thing I could do and I did it continuously. Before telling Rayner about it, I have continuously asked myself when it all began and I have fought against saying it out but I guess it wasn’t for too long.For the past few days, I have bonded so well with Rayner, we always spoke to each other, talked about business, and even had sex countless times in one night. When I first penetrated Rayner that night, she was very tight.Rayner was a bad bitch in bed that after every sex, she wanted another one. Was she the problem or was I the problem because I give her more than enough satisfaction was still what I couldn’t lay my head on.After that first night of us getting intimate, I was still asleep in the morning when I felt Rayner’a mouth on my stick and I was worried for her because the previous night, I had thought I was doing wrong by indulging in her request while she was drunk but with her clear eyes now, I can say she knows what she did.Rayner e
Nathaniel’ PovI watched Rayner as she walked past me heading to our room. There was still a tiny bit of hope seeing her walk to our room, I didn't want to follow her immediately so she wouldn't come up with losing her appetite.I was already sad watching her sad so I can't ruin everything more than this. She soon came outside and handed the dishes over to a maid who was passing by and entered the room again.I stood up from where I was seated watching her but something in me told me to wait and I did. Later I felt at ease and then decided to go in.She was just coming out of the bathroom after taking her bath cause her body was wet. I coughed pretending to clear my throat but deep inside of me, I wanted her.Rayner was looking hotter than before. It was funny how I realized there and then that Rayner’s shower clothes fitted her body so much. Her hips kept telling me to come to touch it but I dare not.Rayner soon began to apply some oil on her body and she began to glow and my man d
Rayner’s Pov Since Nath spoke about getting married for real, I just felt and concluded that the best thing I could do was to avoid him. I could tell he was already feeling the heat of it because he was always moody but I didn't care. We had an agreement and from what he said, he was planning to break the agreement and I didn't want that. Nath was way ahead of me for me to settle with him. The hundred days were getting closer and I liked it. In a few days, all these will be over and the stupid feeling he had for me will also be over. When Nath asked me to follow him to a meeting he had with his campaign members, I didn't want to go but when I thought about it, it would be better to go. If I could remember clearly, he needed me for his political ambitions too. I have begun a countdown for the days left already, it was a bit far but it was still not as long as the hundred days. Despite all the money Nath had, he was still not able to pick professions or people who knew what the ca
Rayner's PovBefore we slept last night, Nath had asked if we could make the next day a visiting day where we would visit anyone we could.I liked the idea of it because ever since Mom returned to her place with a maid Nath sent to take care of her, we have not spoken for long.If I get to spend time with her, she will be very happy about it. I accepted and Nath cuddled me till I fell asleep and that was it.Woke up to Nath looking at my face while smiling. I couldn't help but blush when I saw his cute eyes on my face.“Good morning Mine,” Nath said and kissed me on my lip.Mine? What happened to him calling me Rayner and Little Tigress? I just hope his feelings aren't growing because he will get his heart broken by me.“Good morning, Nath.” I greeted back and he pecked me.“You look very beautiful this morning, Nath said.“I just woke up and I haven't had my bath, so how do I look beautiful?” I asked him.“No matter how you look, you will always look very beautiful in my eyes so lear
Rayner’s PovIf I am being honest, Betty did ruin my mood cause that is the only thing she is good at but going to Mac Jayson’s place would be a cure, that I was very much of. Mac Jayson was always a mood lifter and every time I was with him, I always felt safe.Nath held my hands while I looked through the window to calm myself. Mac Jayson’s place was a bit far from Betty’s, so after I looked through the window for a while, I began to feel sleepy and rested my head on Nath’s shoulder.Nath gently placed his hand on my shoulder and then began to pat my back and gradually my eyes became heavy and I soon slept off. I was woken up by Nath with a kiss on my hand and I realized we had arrived at Mac Jayson’s place.“Do you want to wait a little or we can go in while you sleep a little, don’t forget, Mac Jayson gave you a room.” Nath reminded me.Mac Jayson had given me a room the day I came around to visit him and then there was a heavy rain that I couldn’t go home and he offered me a room
Rayner’s PovThe break for workers was over and Nath and I had returned to work after spending a good time together. The end of the break should have just begun in a new week but it began on Friday.The previous day, after receiving one of the best gifts from Nath and Mac Jayson, I had thought that would be all but I was wrong because when we got home, Nath asked me to go to the room first while he spoke to the head of the maids.I yielded to his instructions and headed to the room. I pushed the door open after turning the knob only to get welcomed with another surprise. The room was decorated with balloons, a few wrapped gifts on the bed, and a lot of boxes too.I took my time to count the boxes and they were twenty-five in number. It was not for me so I waited for Nath to return and in less than five minutes, Nath was with me in the room.“You haven’t started unwrapping your gift?” Nath asked me and then it dawned on me that truly, the gift was for me.“Is everything on this bed for
Rayner’s PovI woke up that morning feeling a bit happy and sad. I was happy because it was a new week and an opportunity to get things right and increase my points so I could be considered for a promotion even if I hadn’t met the year's requirements, just like Nath told me.I was also happy because I was free from Henry’s manipulation. Then I was sad because I would be alone again with no one to speak with often. As I slipped out of bed, I thought about Betty and made mental plans to see her after work.She barely had time for me since she got married and I understood it could be stressful for her to manage a family and try her best to make it not fail. I entered the Kitchen and the groceries were still on the floor the way I had left it.After I got back from the mall last night, followed by the encounter and conversation with Henry and Ken’s advice, I dropped the groceries on the floor in the kitchen and went to bed to enjoy a good sleep, and I was glad I did.Tired and quiet, I be
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
