Alana
I was supposed to be visiting Ray now but instead, here I am… burying my parents.
Daniel and Dina took things to a whole new level and even though I didn't exactly love my parents, I still wanted to get their revenge.
I wanted to get their revenge, Ray's and everyone else they have hurt in their entire life.
Malia was standing beside me but she seemed zoned out for a while now and I wished I could understand why she had been awfully quiet, no stupid jokes or teasing me. Something happened to her.
Hayden took my hand in his and I saw he was sad but I&hel

AlanaFinally, after about five days of waiting and talking to high ranked people, they are finally letting me see Ray in a private room for about an hour which is not something they allow to anyone.Waiting for the prison guards to get Ray was enough to make me think about the times when I didn't return the three words he said to me more than once.How big of an idiot I was. I had a gem in my hands and didn't realise how much it was worth but now I do… now I see him and would always do.The metal door creaked and my heart was aching to see Ray again, it's been too long.

AlanaMaybe you and I were just not meant to be.No matter how many times I tried to shake those words off, they just kept haunting me. He kept on haunting me…But he was not a ghost to me. He was Ray. He was my love. He was my sanctuary… and that son of a bitch came between us."Ms Steel." The voice of Ray’s lawyer brought me back to reality and I knew why he called my name. He wanted me to sign the papers. The divorce papers but how could I?How could I let go of what I had with Raymond? I love him and he loves me but now he was pretending that he hated me to my guts because of that snake.

“Earth to Alana, are you with me?” Malia’s voice brought me back to the harsh reality I live in, a reality where my parents are forcing me into an arranged marriage with…“I’m sorry, did you mean Daniel as in your ex?” Malia asked with an expression that made me even more anxious than I already was.“Malia, for God’s sake, this is the third time I told you the same story. Yes Daniel, my ex.” My voice sounded so harsh it has surprised even me. The problem is my anger is not because of her, it’s because of my parents.I’m pretty sure you are wondering what’s happening. Let me tell you.My name is Alana, Alana Steel. The one and only heir to Laura and Carlton Steel, who were the CEOs of Steel hotels, but now I’m the one who’s in charge.If only that was

Raymond“You can't stop me from having what's rightfully mine.” I yelled at my dear old dad, who treated me as if I was someone who works for him not his own son, but then again his own father didn’t treat him like a son so it’s like father like son I guess.“Don't use that tone with me, boy.” He said in a tone that was meant to scare me but it only boiled my blood more and I often wonder is he stopping me from taking charge over the companies because he wants me to get married and then have it or is it because he doesn't want to give up The control he has over everybody and everything.Even his family, especially his family, he stopped my mother from doing everything she ever wanted because he said that his words with law, he stopped me from travelling and doing everything I wanted like starting my own business, all because I was his firstborn

AlanaTen missed calls from Malia.I put my phone back in my pocket as I kept on crying while looking at the ocean in front of me. I just don't understand how a parent can do that to a child, their only child. I mean I know I made mistakes in the past, I know I made a lot of them but I don't deserve to have this happening to me.“Well, could anyone believe a coincidence like this?” I Heard a Voice, that I'm pretty sure I heard before but I wasn't in the mood to be a detective now so I turned around to see who it was and wasn't it the same... What was his name again? oh yeah Raymond Dalton who called my hotel a trashy one yesterday.I let out a sigh before I turned back to look at the ocean and said “What do you want, Dalton?” He came beside me and laid down on the rails. He stayed like that for a while before he looked ba

AlanaWhat The hell is he doing here?How did he even know I was here?I'm pretty sure Ray can see my rage rising because he immediately came to my side and whispered softly "We'll take care of him, calm down and put this on." I looked down at his open palm to find a ring in it, I picked it up and spared Malia who was smiling softly at me, a glance.I slowly slid the cool ring on my finger and what caught my attention immediately was that It fitted my finger perfectly, as if he knew my size and maybe he did.It was a very simple ring except for the red diamond in the middle, looks like I'm going to be expecting a lot of surprises from Raymond Dalton.Ray extended his hand, waiting for me to take it with my gloved one which I did but it felt weird because I despised t

AlanaI think I’ve been afraid enough in my life, It’s time to let go.I leaned up the rest of the way and pressed my lips to his, the first intimate action I have done in almost five years and let me tell you it felt good.Ray was so careful with his movements, maybe afraid that'll I'll freak out any minute but he was wrong because I've never felt this touched by something for a very long time.Our lips moved against each other in a perfect rhythm as I slowly raised my gloved hand and brought it to his cheek. The kiss was sweet but aggressive and I don't even know how these two things mixed up together but they did.I felt Ray's left hand settle on my lower back while his right one came to the side of my neck and he started running his thumb back and forth on my jawbone.

Alana I never thought I'd say this but I actually miss seeing Ray. It's been about a week since that talk we had in his house and ever since he hadn't contacted me in any way. It was either Nathan or Ethan calling Malia to tell her about the wedding preparations but never Ray. And here I was reading the same paragraph from a contract that I should've signed about half an hour ago but Ray freaking Dalton kept popping up in my head. I have to talk to him. Yep, enough with this bullshit. I got up, straightening my black canvas pants which matched with black blazer I was wearing, just my usual professional clothes. Malia, who was almost working in my office everyday now because she was the head of the marketing campaign I decided to make for the new company we were going to be partners at.

RaymondA week later"What happened?""I told you, I don't remember anything." I said helplessly but that attorney, whoever he was, didn't believe a single word I said.He didn't believe that Anna called me to help her, he didn't believe that someone knocked me out of consciousness when I reached her house… and he certainly didn't believe that I didn't kill Anastasia Clifford."Alright, then tell me exactly word by word, what happened that day?" He asked for the millionth time today and I just wanted to go back to the dorm that I shared with three more criminals even though I wasn't one but Daniel and Dina had made their plan with no flaws and the only thing that's helping me survive this was one huma

RaymondEveryone was here. Malia, Hayden, Nathan, Ethan, Fallon, Mom and Dad but Alana's parents were out of the country and we told them but they were facing some issues so they couldn't get here quickly.And all of them tried to calm me down and tell me that she'll be okay but they didn’t know that!They… they could never understand my pain or the love that I have for her or how much I'm willing to sacrifice just to make sure that she would never get hurt again if there were to be an again for her.Tears gathered in my eyes, blurring my vision but I knew if I started crying in front of my family they would never let me be alone until Alana's operation ended and I don't need that… at least not now s
A Billionaire's Deal XX
AlanaSomething bad was going to happen. I could feel it.I said that maybe we should keep laying low in France but Ray and everyone else did have a point as well, we still had companies and jobs to take care of, wasn’t that why we got married in the first place?Anyway, my point is that we shouldn’t have come back here yet, here we were standing in front of the Dalton mansion.And by we, I meant Malia, Me, Hayden and Ethan. We were waiting for the gates to open so we could place our stuff and then go to our companies while Ray, Nate and Elliot already went there.“I have a terrible feeling about this.” I announced, only to be met with everyone, excluding Ethan, to give me a look that said they were b
A Billionaire's Deal XIX
AlanaAfter some tried to kill us when we arrived we decided to lay low for a few days which was of course also the orders of the private investigator and the guarding company Ray hired because and I quote his words. 'I'm not going to risk your life or anyone else's so this is the best option, Princess.'So here I was on the fifth day of this lockdown with Malia sitting beside me as we watched the series Arcane after almost watching every single show we could that's at day, of course, at night I've been getting to know Ray more, his favourite colour, favourite food and more of these things and my heart was opening more and more for him.And it was almost night so Ray should be getting back soon from
A Billionaire's Deal XVIII
AlanaThank God Ray agreed to let Ella live with us otherwise I would've taken forever to pack my stuff with my injured knee."Princess, I'll go see if your brother needs help." Ray said and peaked my lips quickly before he left and I didn’t even have the chance to do anything when my phone started ringing for the millionth time today, all of that because I'll be out of the country for a while."Alana." I greeted whoever was on the other line but I froze in my place when I heard this person talk. Shit!"Well, it's been a while since I heard the voice of my sister's best friend." His voice was even deeper and almost scarier than last time I heard it, then again, last time I heard it wa

RaymondFive days later"Listen I know you want to give Alana an out of the ordinary honeymoon but Paris is still one of the best places to do that so just go there." Elliot said in frustration because we had both been trying to find the perfect place for the honeymoon for the past two hours."Ray… I know that this is no longer fake for you but you also can't do this to yourself, I don't want my best friend to end with a broken heart man." He had a point but I couldn't control the way my heart beat for Alana or the love I felt whenever she was around or even when she was not.I promised her that I'll wait and chase her if I had to and I will do that no matter what it takes and I know that she still need to heal from the damage that Daniel caused an
