Unknown AnswersERIC's POV"Why did you marry me?"I noticed the disappointment in her eyes when I didn't say anything. But how could I give her an answer when I didn't even know the reason myself? Putting a ring on her finger was something I had done out of reflex. I had always had a reason for my actions, but that had been until that night when I had envisioned a little strange woman in a wedding dress, and without much thought, I had taken off my ring and worn it on her. Since that night, it was difficult to understand me anymore.She was sitting close to the window yet again and I couldn't help but sigh. How was I supposed to tell her that I had engaged her without thinking? But that was it, I lost my mind after spending a night with her which makes me wonder how she could possess such power in a little body....... and maybe because of the mood between us, the journey back to the house seemed rather short. She opened the door herself and immediately we entered the house, she head
The Makeup ArtistRAYNE'S POVI had held my breath for a long time. I suddenly felt the need to exhale, but I couldn't, I couldn't do anything with him this close. My teeth found my lower lip and as I nibbled on it, Eric's sudden shriek made me look up at him."Fuck Rayne!" He sounded hoarse like he was in pain or something. "Are you doing that intentionally?" He asked, confusing me."Huh?" I inquired, but he didn't give me any answers. Instead, I felt his fingers graze the skin on my lips, sending chills down my whole body. His eyes were shut, and he suddenly pulled away from me."You should eat, I'd be in my room, call the maids if you need anything." He said and just like that, he turned around and walked out of the room. It took me more than five whole minutes to get my composure back, still, I didn't get the whole of it.ERIC's POVI went back into my room unhurried. What was it about her that made me lose even the tiniest bit of control over myself?"Fuck Eric! Thought we agreed
DESTINATION PARISRAYNE'S POVStacy and I had a brief chat before I let her go to carry on with her work. She was a very smart and friendly person. I think I've found myself a friend in this big, lonely mansion. As I turned around to head back into the house, I bumped into a hard wall."Ouch!" The intent to murmur died on my lips when I lifted my head and met Eric's gaze."I- I was bored, so I, uh, decided to take a walk around." Probably because of the suddenness of his appearance, I found myself stuttering as I explained while attempting to step away from his huge, wall-like frame. But, my attempt was stilled when he grabbed me by my waist, holding me still in his arms. With my heart racing nervously, I lowered my gaze from his, but he lifted my chin so that I could look at him."Come with me." He said in a commanding tone.I frowned at him. "You could at least be nice and less commanding," I murmured.Following his command earlier, Eric and I were now on our way to a destination I
A LITTLE HONEYMOON TRIPRAYNE'S POV"Let's go." Eric took my hand and helped me into the jet, then he got into the cockpit."Huh! You're flying?" I asked in shock."Yes, wife." He said, smirking at me. I'm good at a lot of things. Why did I feel like those words had a deeper meaning? He leaned into me and buckled the seatbelt around me. At his closeness, I held my breath and he seemed to notice because he grinned at me. I turned away immediately and I felt my cheeks heating up. I heard his light chortle and my heartbeat pulsated. How can a man sound so charming? From my side view, I saw him confidently turning on various switches as if he had done this a lot of other times. And before I knew it, I was staring in complete astonishment at him. I couldn't help but admire the way he was in control of the jet, piloting it off the ground so perfectly. I was lost in admiration that I failed to hear what he said.ERIC's POVOnce I had the jet cruising on air, I glanced over at Rayne to make s
THE TO-DO LISTERIC's POVI hadn't been gone for any more than an hour, yet here I was already missing her. If I had my way, I'd be back in the glade house teasing her. Guess I was starting to enjoy that a lot these days. Well, why won't I when she gives just the best facial expressions in response, I can't help but want more.SighsGuess I'd have to round off quickly and go back to her for my own good.The car came to a stop at the start-up company and John pulled the car's door open. As I alighted, adjusting my suit jacket, a group of men in suits came hurrying toward me. I frowned at the thought of them being from the press."These are the company's executives, they've come to welcome you," John whispered to me.Start-up executives, huh? Did the start-up have this number of executives yet? I thought. Seems I'd have to give Bryce a promotion, he clearly deserves it. But, what more promotion can anyone ask for? He's already my assistant. Other than being a CEO, that's the highest any
FULFILLING WISH ONERAYNE'S POV"But we didn't come with any clothes." I reminded him. He had taken me unawares and had only told me we were on a trip after we had arrived in the country."That has been taken care of already." He said, handing me a carton paper bag. I glanced between him and the bag before collecting it from him.I stared at the set of panties in a small Victoria's Secret paper bag and I felt my cheeks heat up instantly."How did you know my size?" I asked looking up at his smirky face. I know we had slept together before but that wasn't enough to know my pant size, right?The corner of his lips went up slightly, lighting up into a smile and he shrugged. "I just know it, probably because our destinies are intertwined."At his answer, I blushed hard and looked away. I hadn't expected he'd say that. "I'll go have my bath.""Come downstairs when you're done." He winked at me and then strode out of the room. I waited until he left before dashing into the bathroom. The jac
THE COMPASSIONERIC's POV"How old are you again?" I asked and noticed her nibble on her lower lip before answering."Twenty-three." She replied."You know Ice creams are meant for kids, right?"She stared at the cobblestone ground, her pale cheeks instantly turning red as she did. "I'm not so big, I'm just twenty-three years old. At my age, a certain amount of sugar isn't such a bad idea, is it?" She muttered, meeting my gaze briefly."You're still a grown-up.""Yes, but I'm not as big as you. I'm small, you said that the other day. 'Why do you have to be so little, wife?' Remember?"I listened to her quote me while trying to imitate my voice, and I couldn't help but let out a chuckle. She looked cute."I meant why you had to be so little in statute, not age." I corrected her."But it doesn't matter, or does it? I'm still little at something, which means I can have ice cream, right?" She asked, looking up at me with a pair of big puppy-like hazel cat-shaped eyes, and I couldn't refus
Mrs, Not Ms.ERIC's POV"Can I get her ice cream?" She asked. There was a slight hesitation in the lady's eyes, then she nodded when her child stared up at her. Then she rose from her position and hurried toward me. "I want to buy an ice cream, but I don't have any money."I stared blankly at her speechless at her request. She didn't have any money, yet she was pleading to get a child an ice cream."Can we get an ice cream for little Lily?" She said and before I could give her any reply, she was already pulling my arm. "Please," she begged, giving me cute puppy eyes."Let's go," I said, letting her pull me freely. I followed her to the ice cream truck."Hello Mr, can I have three cones of ice cream? Two vanilla and a strawberry."I watched her hurry to the kid after collecting the cones of ice cream from the vendor. I couldn't hear what they were saying from this position, but I saw her hand the two strawberries to the child, then the vanilla to the mother whose expression suddenly t
Reunion: RAYNE'S POVFinally the day I've long awaited was here.I got up with a joy filled soul as I danced around happily.Today I get to be officially wedded to Eric again. It was surreal.Everything was being set in my room, the makeup artist set up his tools and the fashion designers showed Elaina and Ann jewelries to pick for me.I got into the bathroom to take a shower so we could get ready with due procedures. I didn't want to waste any more time.After some minutes I got out tying a bath white robe as I sat down before the mirror so the hairstylist could commence on beautifying my hair."Rayne do you want shady blue or you'd rather go with the normal one?" Eliana asked me."The normal one." I replied to her with a smile on my face."Good day Ma'am, I'd like you to choose a hairstyle." The hairstylist said to me,I looked at the samples she gave to me but I was a bit confused. Everything seemed so good to me. I didn't even know which one to choose amongst them. They look so g

I replied to him."You came for me." I said I was a bit surprised I never knew he was going to come for me.It was Sarah, Sarah had told him I guess."Let's get you home." He said."Rayne." Sarah called lightly as she walked up to me.Eric walked out giving us a private time."I'm so sorry Rayne, I shouldn't have been mean to you, it was all Fred's plot he has been using me, he used me to betray you only to greedily want you back, I'm so sorry I betrayed our trust."

What did they possibly have to say about Rayne? The FBi and my men were on the case even though it hasn't had any progress or trace. "Sit." was my stern voice.I hadn't forgotten so quickly that Bianca was the reason Rayne left.Bianca handed me a piece of paper "That is the map showing the location I think Rayne would be." she said. "Not think, she's there." Sarah said I wasn't ready for their shenanigans today and not now I wasn't in my frame of mind. I looked at the information in my hands, it was a map leading to the boundary of the town.But what would Rayne be doing there, and why would Sarah want to help me find her. "You don't have to trust me but you can assign your men to go there in search of her." Sarah stated. "Let's go, I told you he doesn't believe us." Bianca said, trying to drag Sarah along. "Why would th

She was conscious but it's been over a week now and he hadn't let her go.But what if he wasn't the one holding her, what if she was the one wanting to stay back.I decided to pay Fred a visit at his office. I wanted us to talk about the reason why Rayne wasn't out yet, I wanted to know so much and I guess my curiosity got the better of me.I took a taxi to his company and when I arrived I walked up to his office."Good day Ma'am." I heard the secretary greeted me."I want to see your boss." I stated."I'm sorry ma'am but he has been off for a few days now." she replied politely.If Fred wasn't in the office and also not at home could it be that he has been with Rayne all through.I felt that sting of jealousy in me as I walked out of the company in annoyan

I heard a familiar voice say.I couldn't picture who it was or what the person was talking about.I could only hear their faint voices but couldn't understand what they were talking about."Helping another man's wife, Fred that's Eric's Wife!!" another familiar voice said."Eric." The name rang a bell in my head. I couldn't picture who he was or what he was."You're mine Rayne." "Let's get married.""I'll burn down a whole city if anyone tries to hurt you."
