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
REMEMBRANCEERIC's POV "Why?" She asked just when I thought she had understood."Because I intend to give my wife sexual satisfaction and also impregnate her someday, I should protect myself for her and our future children, shouldn't I?RAYNE'S POVI was rendered totally speechless by his response. I had never thought about that aspect of this whole thing. Was our marriage even serious? What was even his reason for marrying me? Someone he barely even knew. I still found it difficult to understand the whole concept of our relationship.I looked away from him, and a fried chicken truck caught my attention. I turned to Eric at once."Let's buy some chicken, please," I said and pulled him along with me.ERIC's POVI stared blankly at her. I had brought her here mainly to fulfill her wishes and help build our relationship, but all she kept doing was eating, making me wonder if that was all we had come here for. Nevertheless, I let her pull me along, I liked the way she did after all. "Go
THE FAMILIAR SMELL OF RAMENERIC's POV"A few days before they were killed, I overheard them making plans. They wanted us to move from the house. It was supposed to be one of their surprises for my upcoming birthday, but I found out even before." She said and then let out a sad chortle. "It would have been the best day of my life because even though I had overheard them, my curiosity hadn't stilled for once. I was excited to move from the neighborhood. Also, mom used to always make me Ramen with lots of spicy kimchi since we were Korean." How didn't I know that? I wondered to myself. How did her file not say anything about her real nationality? But, now that she said it, I couldn't help but notice the similarities in the looks."I miss having mom's special Ramen, she used to make the best of it." She said and leaned into my shoulder. Noticing that, I stilled for a moment. She had just put her head on my shoulder. Was it happening? Are we bonding now? "And, I miss coming home to the s
APPREHENSIONRAYNE'S POV"Good morning, wife." He said and smirked at me. "I'm making you Ramen, just how you like it, with lots of kimchi." Hearing those familiar words, I felt something knot in my stomach. I had said them yesterday, and here he was making them for me this morning.ERIC's POV"Then in the evening, I'd make you rice and meat soup." As I said those to her, I couldn't help noticing the excitement in her eyes."You know how to cook?" She asked, peeking into the pot of noodles on the stove."Of course, I told you that I'm good at a lot of things, didn't I?" I said and saw her smile. She was starting to do more of that since we arrived in the city, and I like it."Do you like Ramen as well?" She asked."In my part of the world, it is called noodles, and I can't remember the last time I ate any.""Yeah, you barely even eat." She murmured then pouted. "But if you don't eat, how then do you look so strong and healthy? Or, are you a vampire, do you feed on blood? You know, I'v
PRETENCERAYNE'S POVI watched him leave and I suddenly felt something break within me. I couldn't explain the reason. He had left in such a hurry and that too, like there was trouble. I could only wish that he returned safely.This is me, three hours past evening, still staring out through the transparent glass walls. There still wasn't any sign of him. With each minute that struck by, I felt the knot in my stomach tightening. The bodyguards were still down there, all over the house, guarding it from a danger I didn't know of. I had overheard him asking one of the men in a suit to protect me at all costs, and I couldn't understand why.Two hours more, the night had turned dark, and even though the city was fully lit up and looked as beautiful as it had the previous day, I wasn't feeling the ambiance of it. I turned to leave the glass wall and stroll into the room. I could probably retire to bed, and maybe, wait there for him. After all, we still had a movie to see together. Or, was t
CLUELESSNESSERIC's POVHer eyes stilled at once the moment I used the last sentence. Shit! She wasn't comfortable with that. Go slow, Eric, don't make it seem as though you're forcing her."It's fine, I'll go to the spa and get a massage," I told her. "Go to bed, it's late," I said, patted her head, and got up. I started for the door, but just when I was about to grab the handle, her voice came."Who'd do it?"I paused and turned to her. She had her eyes pinned to the bed as she asked. "Will a woman do the massage?" 'What?' I thought to myself, is that jealousy I hear in her voice? "Of course, women massage better than men do. Especially the masseuses here in Paris. They are really good and have a suitable touch to the body. I should be fine by morning if I get the massage done tonight." Saying all these just to make her jealous was childish, but I couldn't help it. It felt so good knowing that she felt protective of me toward other women. She continued tugging on her dress and I fo
ALREADY A MESSRAYNE's POVI looked at the small swelling in his pants and I wondered why it was there."Come here!" He called, stretching an arm toward me. I hesitated for a moment before starting toward him in slow steps. I stopped when I was a few inches away from him, took his hand, and he suddenly pulled me so close into his arms, that my breath hitched as I fell face flat into his naked chest. With faces Inches away, lips close apart and bodies so close, and warm breath fanning the unclothed part of my neck, I felt my heart racing. Any slight movement and I might just be kissing him.I felt one of his strong arms wrap around my waist, then he lifted me off of him. "Sit!" He said, patting the spot on the bed next to him. I obeyed him, and sat down, looking down. My heart was racing nervously and my stomach was all butterflies, I didn't want him to see the shyness in my eyes.ERIC's POVHave you ever heard of the word Erect?" I asked and she slowly nodded. It surprised me that she
YET ANOTHER CALLERIC'S POV"Are you okay?" She asked so innocently."I am, but I'm not sure I'll be for long if you continue to keep me hanging," I told her, my voice coming out husky. We had barely even started, and I was already a mess."But, you sounded like you were in pain," she argued.RAYNE's POVEric threw his head back on the couch like one who was in pain. I instantly stopped my hand from. Probably I wasn't doing it right. I heard him mutter something I couldn't quite grasp, the moment I did. "Are you okay?" I asked him."I'll be okay if you stop teasing me," He said and once again, started moving my hand against his little monster.ERIC's POVI guided her hand up and down my length, the warmness of her fingers, the feel of them, plus the loom in her face as she followed the rhythm of my movement, curiosity, and confusion like she had no idea what was happening. It all turned me on the more."Urghhh!!" I could feel the rippling surge from my inside, to touch her, but I foug
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
Getting marriedRAYNE'S POV"Rayne." I heard Eric's Voice I looked up and saw him walking in."Are you okay?" He asked me as he leaned forward to me."I'm fine, just a little bit of headache." 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." She sobbed lightly."Come here." I said as I hugged her tightly."I'm sorry.' she whispered before pulling from the hug."Rayne.""Rayne." Elaiana and Ann called at once as they walked in."Oh my God baby, thank God you're okay." Elaina said as she hugged me."Oh my God I was so worried Rayne." Ann said as she heaved a sigh of relie
Got her Eric's POV The door to my office flung open and Bianca and Sarah bagged in. "We need to talk, it's about Rayne." She said immediately she got in. 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
Expose himSARAH'S POV It's been over a week now and I had kept the secret all to myself avoiding and fighting the urge to spill it out at any moment.At the start of all this I thought Fred was going to let Rayne go immediately. 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

Helped meRAYNE'S POVIt all felt like I was locked in a locker, everywhere was dark and I couldn't move a muscle. I heard voices but the voices were faint in my head.I'm just helping her." 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." These words kept repeating in my head but I tried to picture who it was that said that and finally the memories hit me.I moved my hands lightly and it was like I was Fred from what was holding me back."Eric." I called slowly as I moved my body on the bed.I slowly opened my eyes and everything was blurry in my sight."Eric " I called again

At first I was happy she had gone missing, not until her going missing made Eric gated me the more.I was sitting quietly in my office going through some files of new luxury accessories that were coming in when all of a sudden the door flung open as Eliana and Ann walked in with angry faces."What is the meaning of this?"
