100 Days In A Contract Marriage With Nathaniel Blackwood Chapter 9 - Threatened
Rayner's POVWhen Director Kim said I was chosen, I didn't know where I got the strength to ask him by who, and eww… the same words came out of Katherine's mouth.I felt irritated just by saying the same word with her but there was no time to dwell on that feeling. Director Kim told Katherine to excuse us but I was already anxious.I kept tapping my right foot on the floor, which was audible to him, while he did everything to make sure Katherine walked out.“Director Kim, I need an explanation now,” I demanded, my voice laced with anger.After shutting the door, he walked back to his seat and slumped into it. He closed his eyes for a while then opened it quietly.All this time, I kept waiting for him and counting down. My patience was running out, but I knew he needed to calm down so he could speak, which was why I waited.“Rayner,” he said after reminiscing for a while. “I know you hate me right now.”“Yes, I do,” I fired at him, not waiting to hear what he had to say next.“That's b

Rayner's POV“What do you want? Mom repeated.“I miss you, Mom,” I said, my eyes teary.“I am still here waiting for you to make the right decision,” she said.“Mom, a lot has happened these few days, and I think I am gradually losing it,” I cried, the tears out of my control.“Rayner, all these wouldn't have happened if you had a man in your life. You should have been in his arms crying right now while he cuddled you to sleep,” she said.“Mom!” I exclaimed.“A lot of these will continue to happen and weigh you down till you get a man for yourself.” She added.Mom was never aware of Daniel because I didn't want her to pressure him into getting married to me as soon as possible. On second thought, everything went from good to bad at work from the very moment Mom sent me out of her house.I just had to make peace with her. Maybe everything with Nathaniel Blackwood will end as well. With that in mind, I was determined to make Mom forgive me.Mom, can't you just understand me, I will ge

Nathaniel's POV I was sitting close to the window in my room as I watched the street, I heard Davis walk into my room. He hasn't gone yet because I still wanted him around. “Sir, we haven't gotten any response from Mr. Nelson about his decision for us to be the constructor of the new building he had in mind,” Davis informed me. Blue Nath is known for three things and these I have built on over the years. Software development, architectural works and construction, and lastly, investment. I majored in Software development in my first degree but when I found out that the construction business was also a great source of income, I went for a second degree while investing was something I had loved since I was a child. “If no reply by the end of tomorrow, give his secretary a call,” I said. “Okay, sir.” He bowed. Davis was fond of giving a bow every time despite my constant warnings. He claimed he was used to it but would gradually stop. He is not just my PA. He is the only person I c

Rayner’s POVIt was another weekend, and I hadn't gotten any clients the whole week, but the truth is, I hadn't been searching. Everything was a mess, and I couldn't speak with any client.Director Kim kept asking me if I had gotten any clients, which felt strange to me. I have wiped Nathaniel's marriage contract off my head, just wanted to focus on my job.I was still on the search when a client I had long spoken to and promised to come when he had the time sent a message.I didn't know when I smiled, but I smiled after three days of keeping a straight and gloomy face. I replied to his message while I waited for him. He wasn't buying much, so there was no need for a contract.He finally came in, and I shook off all the sadness inside of me while I approached him.“Good day, Sir,” I greeted happily.“Good day, Miss. I stop by at last.” He said chattily.“Yes, please have your seat, Sir,” I gestured to a seat.“I think I need to see more samples besides the ones you showed me earlier.”

Rayner's POV “What was that for?” I yelled when we entered Director Kim's office. At this point, I was tired of keeping calm and letting go of everything he had done. I didn't care if he was the director anymore. “That client was a big fish, and you let me lose it? For what? For Nathaniel Blackwood?” I roared. “Yes, for Nathaniel Blackwood,” Director Kim retorted. “For a contract, we aren't sure he will give to us? You let me lose one I was sure of?” I snapped, pointing at the door. Director Kim was walking around. I knew he didn't expect that client to walk away just like every other client has stayed back, but he should know people are different. “Rayner, if you had accepted Nathaniel’s proposal, it wouldn't have gotten to this extent. Everything that happened a few minutes ago was your fault and not mine.” He accused me. “Director Kim, my fault? How? I have never lost a client until today, which was caused by you, and you want to blame me?” I bellowed. “Trust me, Rayner, I

Katherine's POV After what happened today between Director Kim, Rayner, and her client, and the heated argument that followed, I knew I had to do something. Believe me when I say these past few days have been the best days of my working experience at Cee Enterprise. Every time Director Kim tells me to go attend to Rayner's client, my heart always leaps for joy. I kept looking for ways to annoy Rayner just so I could mock her with it, but she has avoided me, and I think everyone as well like a plague. Her shoulders, that has always been high, have suddenly come down. Her ever-smiling face no longer recognizes smiling as an expression. I couldn't be happier about everything. Right now, I don't regret eavesdropping on their conversation and confronting Director Kim, maybe he wouldn't have considered me if I hadn't. I heard Director Kim telling Rayner to do what she was asked to do and I felt jealous. I am also beautiful but why does it have to be Rayner? “She is such a st*pid girl

100 Days In A Contract Marriage With Nathaniel Blackwood Chapter 86 - A Great Office Romance
Rayner’s PovI didn’t expect I would be called because why should I I did think of something I wanted my current menstrual tracking app to have and finally, I did.I wanted to stand up to speak because other speakers have done that before but then Nath held my hand and made me sit back. He got closer to me and whispered into my ears.“You are my wife which simply means, you would have been on this seat if I wasn’t here so you should sit down to address everyone,” Nath said.I nodded and then sat well before talking.“Good day everyone,” I greeted. “As regards the question, I love the menstrual tracking am and I currently use the one made by **** and I must say it is very nice but there is a challenge. Not just for this one I use but for the others I have used.”“A major challenge is that the symptoms aspect is limited. They give the symptoms which is not the same for everyone. I believe that is because a survey was carried out with a few ladies and generalized.”“Menstrual symptoms ar

100 Days In A Contract Marriage With Nathaniel Blackwood Chapter 84 - Mrs Blackwood
Rayner’s PovAgain, I am sorry to ask, did he eat breakfast before leaving the house?” I asked the maid who was in the kitchen with me.She thought about it for a while and then replied. “No Mrs Blackwood. Mr. Blackwood refused to take breakfast and while I tried to insist because Aunt Eli instructed he shouldn’t leave the house without taking breakfast, he said you weren’t there to eat with him so there was no need for him to.” The maid said.I got goosebumps all over my body. Did Nath truly say that to the maid? I regretted not waking up early to prepare something for him since I wouldn’t be going anywhere and I could sleep if I were tired.“Okay, I think I would have to take this food to him myself,” I announced.“That would be a great idea Mrs Blackwood and I am very sure Mr. Blackwood is going to love it.” The maid clapped her hands happily which made me ask her why she was so happy.“Why are you so happy about my decision?” I asked.“Because it will save me from a lot of explana

Rayner’s Pov “Good morning Nath.” I greeted having woken up late. There was no need for me to wake up Walt and get dressed because I wouldn’t be going to the office but I would be working from home. After the doctor's instruction that I rest, Nath called Director Kim and made taken excuse on my behalf and Director Kim didn’t dare to say no even when it didn’t go well with him. “Good morning my love, how was your night?” Night asked. He was dressed up for work already while I was still lying in bed. Wait, did Nath just call me his love? Hahaha, I honestly hope he just said that for fun. “My night was not so great and not so bad either but all the same, I had a wonderful night's rest,” I replied to him. “Huh?!” Nath walked to the bed and sat beside me, “Why wasn’t your night entirely great?” He questioned me, concern all over his face. “Nothing. Just the thought of me not going to work today was disturbing.” I sighed. “I am sorry about that but there is nothing I can do because

Rayner's Pov“I had wanted to tell you after we finished eating but it seems you are not having it which I guess I the reason you came to join me in the Kitchen,” Nath said.I smiled, my teeth showing very well, “Well Mr. Blackwood, I am sorry to say this to your face but you are very wrong with your conclusion. I didn't come to join you in the kitchen because I wanted you to tell me about Natasha. After all, to me, she is not so important.”I continued, “I came to the kitchen to join you because I felt bored especially when I know you are here. Since you have planned on telling me what you want FL to tell me about Natasha after we are done eating, it's fine and I can wait.” I said.“It's too late now,” Nath touched my nose, “I have driven the maids out and I have already told you I was going to talk to you about it, so I will. Remember, I am a man of my word.” Nath pointed out.I raised both hands, “For me, whenever you choose to tell me is fine but so long it's today, I am good.” I

Rayner’s Pov“What do you mean Rayner?” Nath asked me.Without hesitating, I repeated my question, “Who is Natasha,” This time, my tone and voice were a bit low.“Rayner, I think you need to calm down. I can’t tell you who Natasha is while you are in this mood, it will ruin a lot of things, please, just calm down a little.” Nath said and that provoked me even more.Does Nath think I am a fool and that I won’t do my research about Natasha or, was he thinking I am in love with him already and he just doesn’t want to lose me? I wish someone could just tell him to stop dreaming.“Hold on Nath, this Natasha has been calling you for days, and anytime I am with you, you excuse yourself just to go speak with her and if you can’t leave, you simply ignore the call. I will ask you this question for the last time Nath and after this, I won’t ask again…”Nath placed his finger over my lip, “Please hold the last time till we get home. I can’t tell you who she is right here in a public place. Just h
100 Days In A Contract Marriage With Nathaniel Blackwood Chapter 80 - Who is Natasha?
Rayner’s PovI opened my eyes with force as soon as I became conscious and sitting beside me while holding my hand was Nath.“Hey, I am here, you are safe, take a deep breath,” Nath said and I calmed down a bit.“How did I end up here, Nath?” I asked.“I have no idea. I was called by Director Kim that you suddenly lost consciousness and you were being taken to the hospital. After I arrived here, I called him to explain what truly happened and he said he was told you were about to go get water when you suddenly fell.”“He said he wasn’t there when it happened but he was told. Do you remember anything? I asked him to bring out the CCTV recordings from that very moment. He said he was going to get back to me.” Nath explained to me calmly.I felt a sharp pain in my head and then I remembered what truly happened.“Oh, I remember now. I was about to get water because I was always feeling tasty and then there was a sudden blackout. What did the doctor say is wrong?” I asked him.Nath breathe

Rayner’s PovI entered the department and all I could see was everyone on their computer, including Carista. I was a bit late because of Nath’s delay and also there was a little traffic on the way. Was there an activity I wasn’t told about? Because why was everyone busy?I tiptoed to Carista to ask her what was going on. “Carista, what is going on, why is everyone busy this morning?” I asked in a whisper.“I believe you didn’t open your email throughout the weekend. Well, we got so many clients that we don’t know where they came from or rather, we haven’t confirmed where they came from. You should go sit down and get to work immediately because who knows, yours might just be more than mine and that of Director Kim.” Carista advised me.I sighed as I went to my desk to see what I had got on my side. I put on my computer and while I waited for it to finish its refreshing process, I sipped from my water. I felt a slight pain on my head which forced me to close my eyes for a few seconds t

Rayner’s PovWe were about to enter the car to go to work when Nath realized he had forgotten an important document.“Get in the car and wait for me, I left some important documents behind,” Nath said as he gave me my bag, which he was carrying.I collected it from him as I entered the car to wait for him. The driver was in the car, already waiting for us. As soon as Nath entered the house, I seized the opportunity to ask his driver the question that had been on my mind all through the night.“For how long have you been working with Mr. Blackwood, Max?” I asked him.Nath had earlier introduced him to me, so I knew his name and still remembered. Max stared at me through the rearview mirror while I stared back as if we were fighting.“Ma’am, I have been working with Mr. Blackwood for years now, about twelve years if I am not mistaken,” Max said.Yes, the perfect information I needed and the perfect person to give me the answer to the question I was about to ask.“I know you have been Mr
