RAYMOND'S POV"Sir?" My assistant questioned looking at me, I stared at her wondering what she was on about, it took me a while to realize that I had just called her Ariana instead of her name. What the hell was wrong with me?"Is that all?" I said trying to brush off the conversation, I wasn't going to apologize for just making a mistake and calling her Ariana because that would only make me look even more foolish and absentminded. "Yes Sir with the files but we have a meeting in the next thirty minutes with Virgo Corps," my assistant replied I was sure she was wondering why I had called her Ariana but she couldn't dare ask me about it instead she brought out her phone to verify what she had just said regarding the meeting in the next thirty minutes, she checked the time and nodded her head putting her phone back into her pocket staring at me.I had totally forgotten about the meeting with Virgo Corps and now that I thought about it I remembered I had a date with Ariana at the end o
RAYMOND'S POV~ RESTAURANT ~I stood up from my seat at the sight of Ariana heading toward me in the dress I handpicked for her, I made sure to wrap up my meetings so I could get here on time for our dinner date, I didn't want her to have to wait for me, I was acting like a little child yet again and it was all because of Ariana. She looked so angelic as she walked up to me with all smiles.When she got closer to me, I opened my hands as she gave me a hug and a peck on the cheeks, I pecked her as well on the cheeks."Hi," she said in a timid voice as I smiled at her."You look lovely," I told her and I wasn't lying, she looked so beautiful, whatever she wore just seemed to accentuate her body so well. She was like a goddess whenever she was all dressed up. "Thank you and you look handsome."I knew I was a good-looking man but hearing her say it was like music to my ears, I loved it.I opened her seat for her as she sat down adjusting her dress in place before I took my seat offering
RAYMOND'S POVLove wasn't enough."I was thinking if you would want to dance," I said. I couldn't tell her what I was thinking about especially when it was her sister I was thinking of while on a dinner date with her, I knew that wouldn't sit well with her."Yes I will love to dance," she replied happily about to stand from her seat.I offered my hand to her as I rose from my seat, she smiled at me taking my hand while I lead her to the center of the restaurant which I was sure was free from any obstacle. I took her left hand and placed it on my shoulder as I held on to her other hand moving slowly to the romantic music playing in the background.Smiling at her she leaned her head on my chest, my thoughts went back to what I was thinking about earlier.Love wasn't enough, I had loved Kira and she had claimed to love me too but it didn't end well for both of us. "Ouch," Ariana groaned in pain as I realized that I had just stepped on her toe, she tried to step back letting go of me to
ARIANA'S POVI was so happy to be on this date with Raymond, the fact that he had asked me out made me happy, I couldn't hide my excitement when I walked in and saw Raymond waiting for me. I was tempted to kiss him but I pecked his cheeks instead, I also noticed he had booked the top floor just for us, it was lovely to see that he was willing to do something like that for me. He proceeded to order for us and I was glad he did because the food turned out to be so good, I didn't drop my cutleries for once until I was done eating and taking a sip from the wine he ordered for us.While eating we discussed random topics and ended up talking about Kira, actually I had been the one stupid enough to bring her name into our conversation, not exactly like I spent hours talking about her but I went back to that day we had met for the first time, how things turned out and brought us to this moment, even though Raymond had a smile on his face as he sipped his wine and nodded his head I could see
Raymond suddenly felt his heart racing as there was no sight of Ariana in the restroom. He could only conclude that something bad had happened because Ariana couldn't have gone somewhere else without informing him, she wasn't really familiar with this restaurant or location so where else could she be."Is everything alright Sir?" the waiter asked in a worried tone as he stood by the door watching Raymond search every corner in the bathroom. He had not seen the young miss since she came in this direction, so probably she had gone to the down floor while she was done in the rest room as their was a connecting door to the down floor."Check your CCTV footage right now," Raymond yelled at the waiter, walking pass him and running out of the restroom to the down floor to see if Ariana was there, if she was in danger he prayed in his heart that he would locate her on time before things got worst and out of his control but he hoped she was not, he wanted to believe that she probably went to t
“Ariana," Raymond yelled as he got into the car park, he barely started searching for her when someone pushed him from behind as he fell to the ground. He turned around on the ground to see who it was as a bat about to hit him right in the head misses his head and hits his hand instead, shock waves suddenly filled his body as he got up quickly staring at three men in mask, Raymond figured they were teenagers from their physique, even though they had mask on.One of them was holding a bat and the others were in fighting positions, were they the ones that took Ariana and now they were here to cause harm to him. The three goons didn't even let Raymond process his thought as they started to attack him throwing punches at him and kicking him, Raymond tried his best to defend himself by dodging their punches and punching them back.It would seem he had a upper hand with the goons because the punches he was throwing at them were causing more injuries to them than the ones they were throwing
ARIANA'S POVAt some point I thought I would die at the way the man was not only trying to get me naked but hitting me while at it, the handkerchief he had placed over my nose which I wasn't sure if it contained chloroform or some harmful substance kept me unconscious but not for long.When I finally regained consciousness I was laying on the bare floor in an unfamiliar environment, I watched the man take rip off my gown from my body but I was weak and unable to move a muscle to stop him, I opened my mouth to call for help and even though a sound didn't escape my lips the man had slapped me right in the face murmuring something which I was sure was for me to shut up.Back in the restroom, I thought his mission was to kidnapp me but it was obvious now that his mission was to rape me and it made me terrified as to how a sick bastard like this had gotten into such a restaurant that was highly guarded with security officers which I had seen at the front door when I arrived.I felt his han
ARIANA'S POVBy the time I had regained consciousness I was no longer in that awful environment, I was back in Raymond's house and in my room already clothed in my pajamas, I felt a sting on my cheek from where the sick bastard had slapped me across the face twice or more than I could remember as I sat on the bed positioning myself properly and leaning my head on the bed.I felt pain on my back as I leaned on the wall, now that I think of it, I remember him slamming my body on the floor like I was a piece of wood, I had not felt it then because I couldn't feel my muscles.I also felt weak and sleepy but I knew it was from the drugs, irrespective of everything I felt much better than I did back in that room, I was finally able to move my body freely and I was sure if I was to speak my voice would be more audible now. The door suddenly opened as Raymond entered with a first aid kit, my eyes went straight to his forehead that had stopped bleeding but I could still see the cut right ther
I sniffled as I turned away from the door, I could have never imagined Raymond would care so less about me.I had just opened my eyes to the news of losing my child yet I still bothered to come have a look at him but then from the way things seemed, it felt like he had being awake for so long. “Nurse, when did he regain consciousness?” I asked the nurse.“Around the early hours of yesterday.” She said and i clenched my fists.This was very disheartening, I still couldn’t come to terms with it. I swallowed and made to leave when I heard a feminine voice from inside the room.“Here, it’s fixed.” I stopped in my tracks as I turned to see a woman feeding him something and I lost it.He didn’t care to come see me and here he was, getting spoon fed by a random woman. I pushed the door open as I walked into the room angrily, despite the fact I was very weak.“Is this love? You’ve regained consciousness since yesterday and you didn’t even bother to come check up on me. You….” Before I coul
Kira turned to Tanya with a smile on her face as she hung up on the call. “I’m so glad I met you, Tanya. You’re the best.” She said with a smile on her face.“It’s all for revenge Kira. Those two ruined my life, they made me get punished by the boss and I’d never forgive them for it.” She said as she poured a glass of alcohol for Kira into a glass. Kira smiled as she took it. “Soon, I’ll get Raymond, all for myself.” She said with a smile and Tanya chuckled.“Didn’t you say you were with him only for the money your sister helped him get?” Tanya asked and Kira immediately turned to her as she kept the glass on the table angrily.“She didn’t help him get the money, I did. If I hadn’t sent her to seduce him, do you think he would ever know she existed? Do you think they would have ever fallen in love and then ….” She took a deep inhale, “everything between them is because of me. No one else takes credit for it.” She told Tanya who stared at her, rather mockingly.She chuckled, “what
The anger he felt at this moment was nothing like he’d ever felt. He held on to the necklace as he squeezed it with so much anger in his heart.He threw it to the floor in anger as he walked out of the kitchen, throwing the vase to the floor as he ran his fingers through his hair. “You’ve crossed the limit, Kira. You’ll pay for it.” He said angrily as he ran his fingers through his hair.“What’s wrong, Mr. Ender?” The officer asked him and at that moment, he rushed up to his room as he pushed his bed, taking out a picture as he rushed to the officer.“See this woman?” He asked and the officer stared at him, confused.He was acting strange, extremely strange and it was scaring him. “What about her, Mr. Ender?” The officer asked and Raymond placed the picture in his hand.“That’s Kira Rodriguez, she orchestrated this, get her arrested. I’ll make sure she pays for all this!” He said as he ran his fingers through his hair.“Are you sure about this, Mr. Ender?” The officer asked.Raymon
“Babe, are you still worried about what happened two days ago? Trust me, it’s going to be fine.” Raymond told me as he rubbed my back.I placed my head on his shoulder, how could I tell him I was scared of losing him? How could I tell him that ever since Kira left, no moment went by without the fear of my baby’s death.I knew homogenous attraction was real but then with the Kira my sister had come to be, I couldn’t help but be scared. I swallowed as he rubbed my back, “Raymond, promise you’ll never leave me.” I told him as tears started to well up in my eyes.He chuckled, “I want us to get married, Ariana. We…”“Just promise you won’t leave me.” I told him as tears started to pour down my cheeks.“I won’t ever leave you Ariana. Stop being worried, you’re stressing yourself and the baby.” He told me and I sniffled.The fear alone was killing me, I didn’t want to lose either my baby or the love of my life.I took a deep inhale, “I love you, Raymond.” I told him as I embraced him.He pl
“Ari, you…” she tried speaking but before she could even say a word to me, I gave her a resounding slap across the face and she stared at me, shocked.“How could you do this to me, Kira? I’m your sister for crying out loud and you decided to do all these vile things to me?” I asked her as tears streamed down my cheeks.She chuckled nervously, “Ari, at least listen to me. It’s because…” I couldn’t even let her say another word and I gave her a slap across the face, again and she staggered as she held on to her cheek, shocked. I moved backwards as I held on to my head, different thoughts racing through it. For starters, I couldn’t help but wonder why she’d ever want me dead. She had me locked in a freezer for goodness sake!I had being thinking for the last month that the only reason she had wanted to separate myself and Raymond in the way she did was because she had my best wishes at heart. I had thought that she still considered Raymond a playboy and as such, was looking out for he
I tapped my fingers on the desk in the doctor’s waiting area, I’d being waiting for quite a while now for the doctor to come see me and at least tell me what it was that was wrong with Ariana.Why’d she suddenly lose consciousness. Things like these had never happened before but then in the last few days, she wasn’t herself. She was always throwing up, feeling extremely dizzy or now losing consciousness and I couldn’t seat back and watch this.Fear was getting the best of me and I couldn’t take it any longer, I had to see the doctor. As the most important person in my life, her safety mattered the most to me and I needed to make sure all was well with her. I wouldn’t be at peace if all wasn’t.I sighed, bowing my head as I slowly massaged my head with my fingers and at that moment, the doctor walked into the waiting area.“Mr Ender, I’m so sorry, please come in to my office.” He said and judging from how he sounded, I couldn’t help but get scared.What was this man trying to conceal
RAYMOND’s POV…I slowly opened my eyes, the sun coming into the room and there was something wonderful about this morning, the air just felt so different and unique.I smiled as I stretched and the moment I turned, I realized why the morning felt so beautiful and that was because of this woman beside me. I smiled to myself as I tucked her hair behind her ear, planting a slight kiss on her forehead.“Good morning.” I told her and she slowly opened her eyes.Most fascinating was the fact that the moment she saw me, she blushed as she turned away from me. I chuckled, I knew the reason she immediately turned away and it was because she was shy.I smiled to myself as I pulled her closer to myself, hugging her from behind as I buried my face in her neck. I took a deep inhale, “you smell so wonderful this morning.” I told her and she slowly turned to me and I smiled as I stared at her slightly exposed cleavage.“If you love me, of course I’d smell fresh.” She told me and I chuckled as I tuck
She folded her legs around me as she tightened them the moment I started to plant kisses on her neck. I smiled to myself as I slowly rubbed her laps which were now exposed. “Don’t worry, I’d be gentle.” I told her with a naughty smirk on my face.She slowly released her legs that were now wrapped around me and I smiled to myself, “good girl.” I told her and I could feel her shiver. At this point, I couldn’t tell if her reason for shivering was because my touch was having a great effect on her or because few days back, she had just come out of a freezer, one that almost took her life. She smiled at me and at that moment, I decided to make it even slower. I needed her to reminisce on this moment forevwer. I wanted her to always remember this moment, the one we were going to share, I wanted it to be the most soothing thing and if I was going to make that happen, I needed to make it slowly and steady. I reached for her lips as I planted a soft kiss on it and she blushed and that
