CHAPTER 1

RAINORA.I trudged down the narrow dirty street leading to our cramped old house, my chest tight withhumiliation. It still burned in my cheeks as I recalled the store clerk's impatient sigh, the murmurs ofthose behind me in line, and the pointed judgmental stares that followed me as my card had declined."I'm sorry, ma'am," he said, his voice even. "Your card's been rejected."My stomach had dropped as I frantically tried to explain, "Can you rerun it? There must be amistake."The clerk obliged, but the result was the same. Insufficient funds. I'd place back the foodstuffs one byone- milk, bread, eggs, rice- until only Arin's medication remained. Clenching my jaw, I handed over thefew crumpled bills I could scrounge from my purse and left the store, not holding anyone's gaze.Now, as I stepped onto the creaky wooden porch of our house, a wave of guilt, shame, and helplessnesswashed over me.The old house had weathered over time, its paint peeling off and clinging to the wood.

CHAPTER 2
RAINORA.I went down the steps of the plane, holding on tight to my little duffle bag. The humming noise of theairport was kind of unnerving as I took in the crowd of people. Through them all, I located Eunice. Herwhite blazer, tailored to perfection beneath the noon sun, complemented slim black trousers and sleekheels to a T as she waved exuberantly."Ray babe!" Eunice exclaimed as her face split in a wide grin.I smiled back shyly, walking briskly toward her. "Eunice, it's so great to see you.""Look at you," Eunice said, pulling me into a brief but warm hug. "Still petite and cute, as always. Howwas the flight?""Not bad. A bit bumpy, but manageable," I replied quietly."Good. Let me take that," Eunice offered, already reaching for the bag. "Come on, the Porsche is justover there. You must be starving.As we slid into the sleek red car, I took a moment to appreciate the luxurious interior. Eunice had alwayshad a knack for living well."Buckle up!" Eunice chimed, turning the k

CHAPTER 3
RAINORA.A man, bound by wires onto a chair, bloodied, face swollen, streaked with tears, whimpered and beggedhoarsely for mercy.Across from him sat a tall, sleek man in a tuxedo with an unnerving calm, an air of authority. Two othermen stood off to the side, postures menacing.The man in the tuxedo murmured something, too low to hear."No! Please, I swear I didn't—" the bloodied man began, but his plea was cut off by a gunshot.One of the men had shot him in the thigh.The man in the chair screamed in agony, and I clapped a hand over my mouth to stifle a gasp. What wasthis?The tall man stood and, with unhurried movements, leaned in, whispering something into the bloodyman's ear. Whatever was said brought the man down in a fit of crying.My heart pounded in my chest as one raised his gun and shot the man in the head. Blood had splatteredagainst the wall, and the room remained silent.I stumbled backward, my stomach churning, bile rising in my throat. My shoulder hit the door, a

CHAPTER 4
NIKOLAS.I sat at my desk, drumming my fingers against the surface. A file sat in front of me, and a name wasprinted in bold at the top: Rainora Adderman.Her face from the club flashed in his mind: wide eyes filled with fear, her delicate features framed byloose waves, and the striking contrast of her innocence against the chaos she had stumbled into. She'dlooked like an angel in the lion's den. An unintentional trespasser in a world that didn't welcomemistakes.I opened the file, feeling like I was opening Pandora's Box.Name: Rainora Adderman. Age: 22.Background: Hailing from a small town called Westbridge, her father had disappeared without a traceyears ago, leaving her mother to raise her and her younger brother, Arin, who was struggling with cysticfibrosis. Poor.She'd only recently arrived in New York, brought here by a friend's generosity--Eunice. She was workingtwo jobs: one as an assistant at Conway Law and another at a coffee shop in the evenings.

CHAPTER 5
RAINORA.I stepped into the apartment in a daze, my thoughts all jumbled. My hands shook as I locked the doorbehind me.Eunice’s cheerful voice floated from the living room. She was sitting on the couch, a jade roller glidingover her cheek as she chatted animatedly on her phone. She waved, her face lighting up when she sawme—until she took in my expression.“Hey, I’ll call you back,” Eunice murmured, her tone suddenly serious. She ended the call and set herphone down, studying me. “What happened? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”I hesitated, then moved to sit on the couch. I took a deep breath. “I’m quitting my job at Conway Law.”Eunice blinked, clearly caught off guard. “What? Why?”“I got a new job,” I said quietly. “I’m going to be a personal assistant at Woods Enterprises.”Eunice stiffened, her jade roller freezing mid-motion. Her lips parted, but she didn’t say anything rightaway. After a beat, she managed, “Woods Enterprises? As in... Nikolas Woods?”I nodded, my eyes

CHAPTER 6
RAINORA8.59am!Tiny sweats slowly ran through my brows. That was the time I saw on my brown leather-strapped watch. I quickly paid the taxi driver as we stopped infront of Wood Enterprises. It was a high sky scrapper that reflected the sun on its clean windows. I was amazed on the modern architecture, its tall building stretched high to the clouds. It was truly a magnificent sight. "Keep the change." I tipped the driver, he smiled cheekily as he gazed at my maroon slim-fit suit. I didn't have any formal suit so Eunice borrowed me one of her high-end suits. It accentuated my curves so I could feel the driver undressing me with his eyes."Thanks...first day right?" He asked as he turned away. "Yes" I nodded positively. Finally, I dropped down at the pavement as I hurriedly rushed into the sliding doors of the building.The lobby was filled with various people of all works of life wearing brand label suits and accessories. I thought I was wearing something expensive, but compared to th

CHAPTER 7
NIKOLASThe door bell into my office rang from outside, announcing someone's presence. I saw in the cctv monitor, two gorgeous ladies at the door. First was May, one of my most trusted employees. She handled all that worked directly for me as personal assistants. She had a dignified aura, yet she had a feminine figure which was mesmerizing. The second person along with her had a strange yet familiar look about her. I pressed the button to allow them both enter. I squinted and saw the young lady beside May. She wore a tight fitted suit, yet it was obvious she was uncomfortable and sensitive on how revealing her shape showed. I could tell she wasn't used to wearing suits often. She kept re-adjusting it. I unconsciously let out a smirk on my face. It was when she entered the office that I saw it was Rainora from the club yesterday. "You're late.' I shouted. Her face gloomed filling embarrassed. She clinched her hands tensely, though she looked awkward talking while May was present. I s

CHAPTER 8
RainoraI kept reminiscing on the conversation I had with Nikolas. One hundred thousand dollars weekly. That will go a long way in taking care of both my mom and arin. I was hoping for a raise but I never imagined I could earn such an enormous amount of money. Now, I could finally pursue my dreams I had back-peddled for a long time."Earth to Rainora-" May snapped her fingers. She could tell I was loss in thoughts, I immediately recollected myself as we headed out of the building. At the entrance, there was a black Cadillac escalade parked infront. It's beautiful exterior, shining rims and the smooth sound of the running engine gave it a spectacular view. It stood out amongst the cars in waiting. Time went by as we didn't realize it was already nightfall, May showed me my desk which was just some few inches away from Nikolas' office. She was some floors below, but she was one of the few employees who had the access key to his office level. She also taught me how to pick incoming call

CHAPTER 9
RainoraClick!The sound of key opening the door of apartment number 13. It had a clean welcoming air as I shut the door behind me. The minimalist decor gave it a modern look. There were expensive paintings hung all over the house. Exquisite blue sofas were positioned perfectly in the living area facing the balcony. I couldn't resist opening its door to cherish the view of the entire city that reached far and wide. There was also the view of the park, filled with trees and a little pond with swans. There was a soft breeze that gently caressed my soft cheeks. I closed my eyes to take it all in. Like a queen looking down at her subjects. Life is pretty sweet up above. I humored myself. Nothing tastes better than success and riches. I continued my tour around the house, by checking the neatly clean kitchen with a stacked fridge filled with various provisions and drinks. The apartment had one bedroom, but it was spacious with a queen-size bed along with throw pillows and silk bedcovers

They have been in operation for many years and have a lot of properties all over the town. Unfortunately, with high cost of materials and harsh economic policies, they had to down size their staffs and were overwhelmed by debt. In order to stay afloat, they were looking for partnership. A proposal was already sent to me, so I want to check their books before making a final decision.I arrived at their entrance, There was a burly man standing at front door. A valet came to pickup the car as I approached the door. The security man tried to stop me, but I gave him a cold stare that shook him. He quietly stepped aside. I met the receptionist who was blonde with blue eyes . Looking like a fairy princess. Her office top and suit trousers accentuated her figure. I came here for business, no time for
