Chapter six

RAYMOND’s POV..

I helped her treat the wounds and at intervals, I couldn’t help but stare at her. What was she doing to me?

I inhaled deeply before putting my hand on her face. “Ouch!” She winced and even the sound of her wince did strange things to me.

“Don’t worry, everything is going to be fine” I assured her with a smile on my face as I packed the first aid kit before putting it aside.

“Thanks” she said with a smile on my face and I clenched my fists.

“It’s fine, come with me, I’m going to take you to your room” I told her with a smile and she stared at me.

I could tell that she was surprised at the fact that I had called it her room when this was clearly her first time in my house. I gave a slight smile before shaking my head, “it’s just the guest room” I told her before taking her hand in mine.

The moment her hand came in contact with mine, I suddenly felt a strange excitement and I inhaled deeply, I had to control myself. I could see she was still in tears and if I wanted to help her, I had to be by her side and at this point, I felt so disgusted with Kira. How could she be so mean to her own sister?

As I helped her get into bed, tucking her in the sheets, I had a strange longing to place my hand on her face and caress it. I felt like bending and tucking her hair behind her ears, I felt like placing my lips on those tasty lips that I’d savored earlier on but since none of us had spoken about what happened in the hotel room, i couldn’t. I could even imagine how weird the entire atmosphere would become if I eventually decided to start speaking of what happened at the hotel room.

“Goodnight!” I told her with a smile on my face and I could see that she was getting attracted to my face or else why would she turn away from me the moment I smiled at her?

I helped her turn off the lights before walking to the door and then leaving. She was such an adorable woman! My little seductress!

I walked into my room with a sigh as memories of the hotel’s incidents flooded my head. I smiled as I recalled how she had shivered under my touch, how she wanted to stop me but her body had already fallen for me.

I went to my desk so I could check the mail my lawyer had promised to send me. On opening the laptop, all I could see was her face.

“What the heck?” I cursed as I shut the laptop and closed my eyes, shaking my head so as to try and get her face off my head. This was all very strange, why did I suddenly see her face there?

I inhaled deeply before finally opening the laptop again and this time, I didn’t see her face. I heaved a sigh of relief as I quickly went to check for the mail my lawyer had sent me and as I read it, I couldn’t hear my voice. All I could hear was the little voice my little seductress had. Her sweet voice was reading the mail out to me and it sounded so melodic to me.

When I finally realized what I was doing to myself, I rushed out of my seat to the bathroom. I quickly splashed some water in my face as I tried to get her off my head. She wasn’t the first woman I was being with after all.

I wasn’t even with her, we were stopped at the last moment by that pathetic sister of hers. “There’s nothing special about her Raymond “ I tried to tell myself before walking back out of the bathroom and going to the desk to finish my work.

It took a long time but I was finally done with my work and I heaved a sigh of relief. If I was going to get my company back to the top, I had to work really hard and this was what I had to do.

I sighed as I crashed into my bed, closing my eyes as I raised my sheets to my chest, trying to get some sleep. As I closed my eyes, all I could see was the tears that were filled in Ariana’s eyes when I’d seen her earlier. The bruises on her face and all that had happened to her because of her sister and I got out of bed immediately.

“Kiiraaa!” I muttered to myself as I clenched my fists in anger, at this moment, I knew I had never being angrier my whole life. The audacity of Kira to do that to her sister!

I poured some water for myself, maybe being in the house while my company was going bankrupt wasn’t the best idea for me as it was making me have too many thoughts of Ariana.

What was I even thinking? Why would I leave my house because I was thinking about Ariana?

I shut my eyes, why did I even care about Ariana? Wasn’t she the same woman who’d planned to ruin me? Why did I even help her? She deserved that slap after all and all those things that had been done to her, I swear I was now beginning to believe that she deserved it because she had agreed to seduce me to help her sister tarnish my image and why? Because I was going bankrupt and her sister was going to dump me.

“I’ll make you pay for this Kira, no one messes with me and gets away with it “ I said to myself and swore to get revenge on Kira. No one messed with Raymond Ended and got away with it after all!

As I slept, something clicked in my head, what if I wasn’t willing to get revenge on Kira because she wanted to tarnish me? What if it was actually because I cared so much about Ariana?

Why was I thinking so much about Ariana?

Damn it! I cursed!
