Raiden’s POVAs I walked up to Becca, I could feel my heart beating faster. She was beautiful, with her long brown hair and sparkling blue eyes. I introduced myself and explained that I was the secret organizer of the cooking competition. Her eyes widened with excitement as I told her my main goal was to win back Davina's heart.Becca looked at me with admiration and said, "Wow, you really must care for her."I smiled at her and replied, "More than anything. I know I messed up, but I'm willing to do anything to make it right."Becca nodded in agreement and asked, "So, do you want to be paired with Davina?"I took a deep breath and said, "Yes, I do. I want to show her that we make a great team, not just in the kitchen but in life as well."Becca smiled and said, "Okay, I'll make sure to pair you both together. Good luck with winning her heart."As I walked away, I couldn't help but feel grateful for Becca's understanding and support. I knew that with her help, I could win back Davina's
DAVINA’S POVI couldn't believe I was paired with Raiden in this cooking competition. Seeing him again stirred up some old feelings and it was a bit awkward at first. However, as we began cooking, we found ourselves chatting and laughing like old times. I must admit, Raiden was a great cook, and I was impressed with his skills in the kitchen.We had to cook a three-course meal, and we were currently in the second round. The first course was an appetizer, and we had already prepared a delicious shrimp cocktail. For the second course, we had to prepare a pasta dish, and we were working on it together."So, Davina, what's new in your life?" Raiden asked, breaking the silence."Not much," I replied, stirring the pasta in the pot. "I've been busy with work mostly.""I see," he said. "Well, I've been keeping myself busy too. I started my own business recently.""That's great," I said, genuinely happy for him. "What kind of business is it?""It's a catering business," he said. "I figured with
DAVINA’S POVAs we walked towards the hotel, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over me. The cooking competition had been tough, but I was glad we had made it through all the rounds successfully. Raiden and I had even managed to work together without any arguments or disagreements."So, we did it," I said to Raiden as we walked.He chuckled. "Yeah, we did. Who knew we could make such a great team?"I rolled my eyes playfully. "Don't get too ahead of yourself, Raiden. We still have to wait for the results."Raiden smiled. "True, but I have a feeling we did pretty well."As we reached the hotel lobby, Raiden and I exchanged a knowing look. We both knew that our partnership in the competition had brought us closer together, and that we had made progress towards being friends again.As we walked up to the hotel, I couldn't help but feel grateful for Raiden's company. He had been an amazing partner throughout the competition and I was glad we had finally buried the hatchet. We
DAVINA’S POVI stormed out of my hotel room, my heart racing with anger and frustration. I couldn't believe Raiden had tried to ruin our stay in Dubai. I felt so naive for thinking he had changed and that we could be friends.As I marched down the hallway towards the elevator, I tried to gather my thoughts and calm myself down. But the closer I got to the elevator, the angrier I became. I didn't care if Raiden was the hotel owner, I was going to confront him and let him know how I felt.When I reached the lobby, I saw Raiden sitting in one of the plush armchairs by the fireplace, scrolling through his phone. My anger boiled over, and I marched straight up to him."What the hell were you thinking?" I demanded, my voice echoing through the lobby.Raiden looked up at me, his expression a mix of surprise and confusion. "What are you talking about?" he asked, putting his phone down on the table next to him."You know exactly what I'm talking about," I snapped. "Trying to sabotage our stay a
RAIDEN’S POVI can't believe what Davina said to me. It hurt so much. I never intended to sabotage her or Ignacio's stay at the hotel. I just wanted to win the competition fair and square. But now, she thinks of me as some kind of villain who's trying to ruin her relationship with Ignacio.I never realized how much my actions could affect someone else. All I wanted was to prove my worth as a chef, but I ended up hurting someone in the process. Maybe I should have just focused on my cooking and not let my competitive nature get the best of me.But still, I can't shake off the feeling of betrayal. I thought we had become friends during the competition. We laughed and cooked together, and I was even starting to like her. But now, it seems like all of that was just a facade.Maybe I should reach out to her and try to explain myself. Maybe she'll understand and forgive me. Or maybe it's better if I just let it go and move on. It's clear that she doesn't want anything to do with me.I'll jus
DAVINA’S POVAs I lay in bed, I couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. I knew I had hurt Raiden with my words, but I had to choose my happiness over his. It was a tough decision, but it had to be made.I replayed the argument in my head over and over again, thinking of all the things I could have said differently. I knew I couldn't change what happened, but I wished I had been more compassionate towards Raiden's feelings.But then again, what choice did I have? I couldn't stay with someone who constantly tried to sabotage my happiness, and I knew that Ignacio was the one I wanted to be with. I had to prioritize my relationship with Ignacio over anything else, even if it meant losing a friend in the process.I knew that I had to move on and let go of the past, but it was easier said than done. I still felt guilty and ashamed of the way I treated Raiden. I hoped that with time, he would forgive me and we could go back to being friends.But for now, I had to focus on my relationship wi
Raiden’s POVAs I packed my bags to leave Dubai, Karla and I sat in the hotel room and reminisced about our adventure."I can't believe we did all of that in just one week," Karla said with a laugh. "I don't think I've ever been this exhausted."I chuckled. "I know, right? But it was definitely worth it."Karla nodded in agreement. "So, are you going to miss Dubai?"I shrugged. "Yeah, I guess so. But I'm ready to go back home and get back to work."Karla rolled her eyes playfully. "Work, work, work. You need to learn to live a little."I raised an eyebrow. "Says the woman who made me go skydiving and bungee jumping in the same week."Karla laughed. "Hey, you loved it."I smirked. "Yeah, I did."We continued to talk and laugh until it was time to head to the airport. As we left the hotel room, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of sadness. Despite all the chaos and drama with Davina, I had really enjoyed my time in Dubai.As we walked through the airport, Karla nudged me with her elbow.
DAVINA’S POVI was sitting in the cafe, sipping on my latte and scrolling through my phone when I saw Mira Rose walk in with the newspaper in her hand. She came over to my table and said, "Girl, have you seen this?"She unfolded the newspaper and showed me the front page with the headline that read, "#MultibillionaireGirlfriend." The picture below it was of Raiden with Karla, arm in arm, smiling at the camera. I felt a pang of jealousy in my chest and I couldn't help but feel hurt that he had moved on so quickly.I tried to keep a straight face and nonchalantly responded, "Oh, that. Yeah, I saw it."I couldn't believe it. My heart sank as I saw the paparazzi photos of Raiden and Karla. I tried to play it off like it didn't bother me, but deep down, I was jealous. How could he move on so quickly after everything we had been through?Mira Rose could tell something was wrong, and she handed me the newspaper with a concerned look on her face. "Davina, what's going on? Is everything okay?"
DAVINA POVAs soon as Raiden walked into the hall, my heart skipped a beat. I couldn't take my eyes off him, even though I knew I shouldn't be looking at him. The tension in the hall was palpable, and I could feel the stares of everyone on me, wondering what I was thinking. I tried to focus on Ignacio, but I could feel his anger burning through his eyes when he saw me looking at Raiden.I knew I shouldn't be feeling this way. I had made my decision to marry Ignacio, and I needed to stick to it. But seeing Raiden again, after all that had happened between us, brought back so many memories and feelings that I had buried deep inside. It was like my heart was at war with my mind.As the wedding ceremony began, I tried to focus on Ignacio, but my mind kept wandering back to Raiden. I could feel his presence in the room, even though he was standing at the back. It was like he was calling out to me, begging me to change my mind and run away with him.I knew I couldn't do that. I had to go th
DAVINA’S POVI couldn't believe the day had come, it was my wedding day. I was dressed up in the most beautiful dress, adorned with stones, and it fitted me perfectly, like it was made for me. Mira Rose had done an incredible job with it, she had a way of making everything perfect. But as I looked at myself in the mirror, I couldn't help but feel sad, my smile was nowhere to be found. I was about to marry a man I didn't love, it was tearing me apart.Mira Rose could sense my unease and tried to comfort me. "You look beautiful, Davina, like a true queen," she said as she helped me adjust my veil. "But are you sure you want to go through with this? I can see the sadness in your eyes."I took a deep breath before answering, "I don't know, Mira Rose. I feel like I'm making a mistake, but I can't break Ignacio's heart. He's been nothing but kind to me, and I don't want to hurt him."Mira Rose gave me a sympathetic smile and held my hands, "I understand how you feel, Davina, but this is you
RAIDEN’S POVAs I approached Davina's house, I couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness wash over me. This was it, the end of an era. I was here to say my final goodbye to the woman I loved, the woman I could never have. I knocked on the door, my heart pounding in my chest, and waited for her to answer.When Davina opened the door, I could see the shock in her eyes. But she quickly composed herself and asked me if I had forgotten something. I shook my head, telling her that I was there to say goodbye and apologize to her for all the pain I had caused her.I couldn't believe I was sitting here, at this dinner table, with her. It felt like a dream. Everything about her was so familiar, yet so distant. As we ate in silence, I felt my heart racing with anticipation. This could be our final moment together, and I wanted to make it count."Raiden," she spoke softly, breaking the silence. Her voice sent shivers down my spine, and I turned to face her, eager to hear what she had to say."I k
DAVINA’S POVI was sitting alone in my living room when the doorbell rang. I hesitated for a moment, wondering who it could be, but when I opened the door, I saw that it was Gaven, Raiden's best friend."Hey Davina," he said, stepping into my apartment. "Can we talk for a minute?"I nodded, closing the door behind him. "Sure, what's up?"Gaven took a seat on the couch across from me and cleared his throat. "I know this might be difficult, but I have to ask. Are you sure you want to go through with this wedding?"I felt a knot form in my stomach as I avoided his gaze. "Yes, of course. Why would you even ask that?""Because I know you, Davina. And I know how much you loved Raiden."My heart ached at the mention of his name. "I still do love him," I admitted quietly. "But I can't be with him. Not after everything that's happened.""But do you really want to marry Ignacio? Or are you just settling because it's easier?"I looked at Gaven, tears starting to form in my eyes. "I don't know wh
DAVINA’S POVI was exhausted from taking care of Raiden all night, but seeing him healthy and well-rested made it all worth it. As I was preparing breakfast for him, my phone rang and I saw that it was Ignacio calling."Hey, Ignacio. What's up?" I answered, trying to sound casual."I just wanted to check up on you. I was worried when you didn't come home last night," he replied, concern lacing his voice."Oh, I'm fine. I had some work to catch up on, so I stayed at the restaurant to focus," I lied smoothly."Are you sure that's all it was?" he asked, skepticism creeping into his tone."Yes, I'm sure. Why would you think otherwise?" I countered, feeling a bit defensive."I don't know, Davina. It just seems like you're pulling away from me. And with the wedding coming up, I can't help but worry," he explained."Ignacio, you have nothing to worry about. I love you and I'm committed to our future together," I reassured him, hoping that my words would ease his concerns."Okay, I trust you.
RAIDEN’S POVAs I sat in my office, I could feel Davina's presence outside my door, hesitant to come in. I knew I had to face her eventually, but I wasn't sure if I was ready for it. Eventually, she knocked softly and walked in, looking nervous."Raiden, can we talk?" she asked tentatively.I took a deep breath and nodded, gesturing for her to take a seat. "What do you want to talk about?" I asked, trying to keep my tone neutral."I just wanted to... apologize," she said, fidgeting with her hands. "I know I hurt you and I didn't mean to. I never wanted things to end up this way between us."I felt a surge of anger rise up in me at her words, but I pushed it down. "You never wanted things to end up this way? You're engaged to another man, Davina. That's not exactly a great way to show someone you care about them.""I know," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "But I had to do something to get over you. Ignacio proposed and I said yes, but it doesn't mean I don't still have feel
RAIDEN’S POVI was at home, lying on the couch, trying to shake off the pain that came with Davina’s engagement news. Then, the doorbell rang, interrupting my thoughts. I reluctantly got up to answer it, and when I opened the door, I saw Ignacio, holding the wedding invitation in his hand. My heart rate increased as I wondered what he wanted.“Good afternoon, Raiden. I hope I'm not interrupting anything,” he said, his voice low and calm.“Not at all,” I replied, trying to hide my discomfort.“Great. I just wanted to make sure you received the wedding invitation to my upcoming nuptials with Davina.”I tried my best to keep my composure, even though I felt like I was about to explode. “Yes, I received it. Congratulations, Ignacio,” I said, with a fake smile.“Thanks, Raiden. I know things have been a bit awkward between us, but I hope this invitation can be a start to something new. We can put the past behind us and move forward.”As soon as Ignacio showed up at my doorstep, I felt a ru
DAVINA’S POVIgnacio had planned a romantic dinner for us that evening. The table was set with candles and rose petals. The aroma of the food filled the air, and the sound of soft music played in the background.As we sat down, Ignacio poured some wine into my glass and raised his own. "To us," he said, smiling.I smiled back, feeling grateful to have him in my life. "To us," I replied, taking a sip of the wine.As we ate, we talked about our future plans, and Ignacio brought up the topic of marriage. "Davina, I love you, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?"I was surprised by the sudden proposal, but I couldn't help but feel happy. "Ignacio, I love you too, and yes, I will marry you," I replied, tears welling up in my eyes.Ignacio got up from his seat, came over to me, and got down on one knee. He pulled out a small box and opened it, revealing a stunning diamond ring. "Davina, will you marry me?" he asked again, looking into my eyes.I couldn't beli
RAIDEN’S POVI woke up feeling terrible. My head was pounding, my nose was stuffed, and my throat was scratchy. I knew I wouldn't be able to go to work today. I texted Ignacio to let him know and tried to go back to sleep, but the pain was too much.That's when Karla walked in. She saw how miserable I was and sat down next to me, putting her hand on my forehead to check for a fever. I didn't think much of it, she's always been a caring friend.But then, she started stroking my hair and rubbing my back. It felt nice, and I was too sick to care about anything else. I must have dozed off because the next thing I knew, my head was on her lap and she was humming softly.I opened my eyes and saw her looking down at me, concern etched on her face. I could tell she genuinely cared about me, and I felt grateful to have a friend like her. I didn't know what Davina would think if she saw us like this, but at that moment, I couldn't bring myself to care. All I knew was that Karla's comfort was ex
