HOMEERIC'S POVI expected her to grab the opportunity and ask me to not leave, but she simply smiled it off. Wow, just wow. I just got ditched. Any other woman would have grabbed the opportunity, but here, she just ditched me.My phone suddenly rang on the countertop, glancing down at it, I saw it was one of my business partners calling. I was about to pick up when Rayne's voice cut in."Will you stay home with me tomorrow?" I stared at her and a grin spread across my face immediately. I knew I could never get ditche... Wait, did she just say home? Did she finally give in to being my wife? That means she is no longer scared of me and there'd be no more tears falling from these beautiful hazel eyes."Sure, I'll stay home with you tomorrow. But, you'll have to keep me entertained, so I don't get bored from staying at a place, okay? I asked and watched her nod, a smile threatening to break out from her face. She was happy, but I was the happiest. Getting out of my seat, I kissed her fo
Danger NowFred stared dumbstruck at the sight in front of him. He could feel his heart clenching and twisting in his chest at every thrust and each loud slutty moan. It felt as though someone was choking the life out of his existence. This was the last thing he had expected to see on arriving here. He had expected to find the peace his father had denied him at home here with Sarah, his girlfriend. But instead, he just felt worse than he had when he left his father's house.Watching her moan like a whore, he could barely even make a sound, or find words to stop the disgusting sight in front of him. It was like a cat caught his tongue.Turning around, he started for the door. He had really given this very relationship his all, only to be broken into a million pieces like this. And as he staggered to his car, his thoughts drifted toward Rayne. He knew what Sarah had done. Although she's never told him, he knew. He had seen her send the text while he pretended to be asleep. He should hav
RESPONSIBILITYERIC's POVI dashed into the house, jumping the stairs in a hurry to Rayne's room. Even though Bryce had told me that he had taken care of the situation, I wasn't completely at ease, and I knew I wouldn't be until I saw her and confirmed to myself that she was okay.Crossing the corridor, I stopped in my tracks on noticing the hoard of men in black suits lined up by the door. Matthew came matching toward me in hurried strides, causing me a frown."Sir,..." he started, but I didn't let him finish."Where is my wife?" I could hear my own fear in my tone, and the intensity of my voice. Firm, and yet shaky. It momentarily surprised me how I was losing my grit at the moment. I was sweating on my forehead, I could feel it. And for a quick moment, I couldn't help but question the feelings running inside of me. It all felt strange. I had never been this tense in my entire existence. Never been frightened by anything and that too, to the extent of having all of the wrong and str
BEAUTIFUL ADMIRATIONRAYNE'S POVI woke up to a bright light shimmering on my face. When I opened my eyes, the light threatened to blind me. I sheltered them with my hands and then opened them again, slowly. The day was fully bright already and I couldn't help but wonder for how long I had slept. Stretching and yawning tiredly, my mind wandered around."I'll be back soon," at those words, I suddenly remembered Eric. Did he return at all last night? I sprang up from the bed and jumped down at once, hurrying downstairs. Badging into the kitchen I realized he wasn't there. Then I hurried back upstairs and knocked on his room. When I didn't get a reply, I opened the door and went in, but he still wasn't there. I hurried back up to my room to get my phone. Since we were always close, we barely spoke on the phone.The moment I tore the door open, something caught my attention. It was Eric, he was lying on the couch by the side of the bed. Slowly, I started in his direction, careful not to w
LIFE LONG NIGHTMARESERIC's POVAfter watching her sleep so soundly last night, I didn't want to leave her by herself. There was so much space for the both of us, but I had to pass the idea of lying next to her for my own good. It was better to not tempt myself, so I reclined to stay on the couch. At least, I can watch her sleeping face from this spot.My phone rang in my pocket as I strolled toward the piece of furniture and I noticed Rayne turn uncomfortably on the bed at the noise. I quickly put the phone on silent, before taking the call."The executives are ready for another meeting, it's been fixed for next Friday," Bryce informed me."I won't be in the country by then, you'll have to take care of it.""Does it have something to do with tonight's event?""Of course, it does. My wife's life is in danger, staying here after tonight's ambush isn't at all a wise idea. You've never been in love, so you won't understand any of the things I'm saying. But, you don't have to, just take c
FIRST KISSERIC's POV"Huh! Bryce?""You dreamt of Bryce? Why would you dream of Bryce?" I inquired. "I just saw him there....""No, you shouldn't see any other man in your dream. You know what? I think I should give that young man a call." I wrapped Rayne's waist with one of my hands and used the other to take out my phone from my pocket. Then I dialed Bryce's number."Why were you in my wife's dream?" I asked as soon as he picked up."What now?" He asked tiredly."You were in my wife's dream, what were you doing there?" I asked and heard him sigh."I'm quite very handsome, so it'd be difficult for even the married to resist me. You should probably try getting on her good side, maybe then you'll get your chance." "What do you....""You should be getting ready to leave if you want her to keep dreaming. Don't call me until you are back in Los Angeles. There are lots of things you need to take care of, love doesn't feed you." "What, are you jealous because you don't have a woman in y
Chapter SixtyLittle SurpriseERIC's POV Her stomach rumbled against mine and her cheeks flushed red with embarrassment. I wrapped my arms around her waist and rolled her over. "Come, I'll make you breakfast."Putting her down on the seat, I started off cooking. "You're prepared to keep me entertained today, right?" I asked and saw her blush, then she nodded."I've prepared a lot, you'll... be stunned after my performance today." She assured me, grinning from ear to ear. Watching her, I couldn't help but chuckle. ****In his hotel room, Fred gulped down a glass of whiskey he had poured himself. Reminiscing on everything his father had told him the previous day and coupled with what he had seen when he arrived at Sarah's place, he couldn't help sulking. He picked up his phone from the table and stared at the photo that was currently making waves online. The photo of the nobody girl he had cheated on in the arms of the very man his father constantly compared him to. Fred felt his bl
CHAPTER SIXTY ONEERIC's POVONLY SHE CANI meant to get up and go fetch her from where she is, but I stopped myself from doing so. It was a fuckin' surprise, she had said that. Meaning I'm to remain seated with my eyes closed until she comes out. I don't want to ruin her little surprise. She's worth the wait!But, Hell, this is torture.Soon, I could hear the clattering of approaching footsteps, coming in bits. I could feel my little monster hardening at each step she takes, the desire to grab and pin her underneath me and take her in every nook and cranny of this room keeps building up. But, the anticipation of what she'd do next when she finally stopped in front of me was driving me crazy. Is she finally comfortable enough to have___ again with me? A beat suddenly started in the background. "You can open your eyes now," her small voice came out rather excitedly than I had expected. I flung my eyes open, expecting to see her in a pair of lingerie, a bikini, with her hair packed in
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

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." 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
