My Ruthless Billionaire and I CHAPTER 12
RainoraNice?I wondered as I returned back to my desk. Nikolas has never said anything nice to me before, so why start now. He just mocked my style of dressing yesterday, so why the sudden flattery. Maybe, he was been sarcastic again like before. I felt a huge lump in my throat. This suit was among the most beautiful collection in the store. Everyone kept starring at me since I got to the office today. What more can I do to impress him. I thought quietly. I hope he doesnt say we wasted his money and refund him back. No, he won't.I'm sure he doesn't even check his accounts. I assured myself."Lost in your thoughts again, Rainora?"May gently tapped my desk. She stood impatiently holding some files to be signed."Sorry May, something just happened in Mr.Nikolas's office." I responded as I hurriedly collected the files from her."Dont keep me guessing Rainora, what is it? May demeanor became serious as she gazed deeply into my eyes. Like she was trying to read into my soul."Mr.Nikolas s

RainoraI went to Eunice's office days later.Vastoni Cooperation was among the top construction companies in the city. Their headquarters stood a high building, its unique architectural design gave it a distinct look that was visible all around the working area.I met a burly man who was fully armed and had an intimidating look at the entrance. There was a dangerous aura around him. He gave me a sinister smile as I walked into the lobby."Hey, pls I will to see Eunice Johnson, I'm Rainora." I said, the receptionist gazing with intently as she sized me top to bottom. I was on my way to work, before I stopped to see Eunice first. I work a purple suit-top and a pencil skirt that accentuated all my curves smoothly. She looked at me with envy."Do you have an appointment?" The receptionist asked. "I have a package for her. "I signaled my designer hand bag to her. She paused momentarily before picking up her telecom to make a call."Eunice, there is a lady in the lobby called Miss Rainora

NikolasSeveral months passed, and Rainora was growing more involved in her work. She handled all my appointments efficiently. She rarely met with other staff members who tried to pry into my matters and private meetings. I found myself trusting and relying on her more often. I hired her mainly to watch her to see if she would reveal the events of the nightclub. Subconsciously, she slowly became less irritable. To reward her hard work. I extended to her a hand-crafted envelope, with golden-color designs at its edges."Should I fax it out, Mr. Nikolas?" Rainora stretched out to collect the letter. She looked very professional in her dark blue suit and pencil trousers."No... it's an invitation to a fashion show." I smiled as she received it. Her face went pale in shock. She froze as she couldn't believe what I just said. "It will be held tomorrow night. I will tell May to get you dressed for the occasion. I turned around and went back to my office. I always enjoyed seeing her face sho

Rainora and I got closer as time flew by. These made other female staffs get more envious of her and started spreading false rumors in their group chats. Obviously, as the CEO I can't be disturbed by office gossip. However, I always have the urge to defend her. It's an uncontrollable urge to be her shinning knight, even though she can handled herself graciously. She always put on a brave face anytime I walked by. Secretly, I observed her when she wasn't watching, she will have a sad look when reading her chats. I didn't even realize what the other female employees wrote about her. Till the moment Wren came close to me to show me what was written." Rainora has enchanted the boss...I'm sure she has seduced him." Wren gasped in disbelief as he gestured more despicable chats. "I'm sure she uses her body to get ahead." I clenched my fists in disgust. "Can we identify the trolls behind these cruel gossips?" I looked at Wren, he noticed my cold demeanor so he closed his mouth and retuned

We arrived the venue for the meeting, we went to an isolated warehouse on the outskirts of the city. There was other black jeeps with tinted glasses. Security men were positioned all around the venue, including the rooftops. Other armed men stood against the respective families' cars. They all bowed respectfully as wren, rainora and I walked through. Rainora's eyes widened as we pass through the crowd. I gently whispered to her not to be afraid as we reached the door. The burly men slowly opened the doors as we entered. There was a round table with four seats each for all the remaining family leaders. The council head's seat placed at the top end of the table. Each of the leaders rose upon my arrival, alongside their associates as I reach the head's seat. After I sat down, I gestured the others to also sit down as well, while Wren sat down with Rainora at the corner of the room. I glanced at Rainora again, as she still seemed stunned looking at all the powerful men and women seated o

Arin POVKnock!Knock!There was a loud knocking sound from the main entrance door. I walked casually to the living room."Arin, hurry and check who's at the door." My mother asked. Mary Adderman. I sipped from the glass, then sluggishly walked to the door. "Coming-" I hesitantly responded. 'Who will bother us this hot afternoon?" I wondered.As I opened the door, a tall male figure stood infront of me. He was well built, wile wearing a blue short-sleeve shirt and shorts. He also wore a blue cap with a company logo and black boots. He had a friendly smile on his face while a brown package with the label "fragile" tagged on it. From his uniform, I assumed he was a deliveryman."I'm looking for Arin Adderman." The delivery man gazed intently at me."Yes, I am Arin. is this package for me?" I had a puzzling look at me as I strecthed out my hand to collect it."Yes, pls sign here-" He strecthed out a tablet with an electronic pen attached to it. I received the package with one hand, whi

Rainora POVI got to the office 8.30am. Though the resumption time is 9.00am, I like to commerce work early to get ahead of the curve. Nikolas always had a busy schedule and he wanted his itinerary arranged before he set foot into the building.Done. As soon as I was done preparing the itinerary, I took the lift down to the office cafeteria. The glass doors inside the lift reflected the light blue suit looked nice on me, it accentuated my figure perfectly. I thought to myself while gently brushing off a slight wrinkle on the skirt. A quiet sound indicated I reached the cafeteria floor.Ding!The elevator door opened, I stepped out and walked towards the table that had a espresso machine and a set of plastic cups heaped on top of each other. I could see hot steam brewing out of the machine signifying that it was a fresh new batch. It always gave a refreshing taste when I took a freshly made cup of coffee. I closed my eyes as I tried to savour the rich taste of processed coffee seeds

Rainora POV The news spread like wildfire all around the office about the incident between Catherine and me. The group chats were trending with the latest updates and highlights. "Did you see Catherine shivering in front of Rainora?""Rainora showed her, I'm glad someone put her in her place, longtime coming."While others felt remorseful for Catherine. "Rainora bullied Catherine." Immediately, most of the remaining group members chastised their responses. "I'm sure the only people supporting Catherine are her assistants who joined to slander Rain." Most of the comments supported me and even praised my courage and confidence to stand my ground even hearing all those false accusations.I was unfazed while reading through the chats. I seldom go through the office chats, just to stay updated with any announcements or rumors about Nikolas. He's not in it so I have to look out on his behalf.Thud.I heard a loud bang on my desk. Surprisingly, I looked up to see it was May. I was so los

Irene POVI heard a loud thud at the door. It startled me briefly. However, I snapped out my daze, seconds later I heard footsteps thumping angrily approaching the hallway. It felt like a huge elephant passing through.My bedroom door was slightly open as I looked in that direction with anticipation. Moments later, I saw the figure of Caleb walking past my room huffing. Surprisingly, he didn't stop to greet me, which was very unusual. No matter how late he got home, he always greeted me before proceeding to his room.“Caleb, is that you?” I called out. I listened keenly as his footsteps receded. He knocked on my door gently as he entered.“Good evening Mother-” he greeted in a calm voice. I nodded in approval as he sat down on a chair close to my large-size bed.“My apologies…I was deep in thoughts.” He said in a gentle tone. A wave of joy washed over me.“For a moment, I thought you forgot about me.” I said in a sarcastic voice. His eyes widened in shock.“Of course not Mother, that

Rainora POVWe arrived at my apartment building forty-five minutes later. The ride was quiet and awkward as no one would give in. Nikolas casually glanced at me while driving, letting out a ‘hmph’ sound. I pressed my lips in protest and feigned ignorance of his exasperation.“Goodnight, Mr.Woods-” I snapped quickly at him and stepped out of his car. He had a cold glint in his eyes as he watched my retreating figure.I clenched my bag angrily as I approached the ground floor of my building. I forced a smile as I greeted the doorman and headed into the lift. Just as I pressed the button to the floor leading to my house, a masculine fist stopped the motion of the sliding doors midway. I looked up to see Nikolas grinning as he also stepped into the elevator. My heart beat raced quickly as he stood right in front of me, his piercing gaze ran through my body as the elevator closed. Like he could see my soul. I wiped the sweat beading on my forehead as he continued to stare at me with a smu

Rainora Nikolas’ eyes darkened as he gazed at me and Caleb returning to the office. I felt a lump in my throat. A feeling of guilt washed over me. Instinctively, I stylishly moved inches away from Caleb. The aura in the room thickened as it tensed up. Low-tone whispers were hurling around the lobby. Everyone watched in anticipation, like watching a scene out of a movie. Sensing the weird atmosphere, Caleb cleared his throat to ease tension. “Cough..Fancy seeing you here, brother.” Caleb forced a smile on his face. Nikolas remained unfazed. “I was just about to ask you the same question, little brother.” Nikolas has a smirk on his face. Caleb clenched his fist. He quirked his lips in an attempt to utter something, but at the last minute changed his mind. Moments later, he took a deep sigh and replied. “ I had a private discussion with Aurora about some sensitive issues.” Caleb had a smug look on his face, I sensed he was trying to taunt Nikolas, which was working. Nikolas’s demeano

Caleb“Let me tell you how to go about it-” Celeste leaned towards me covertly and whispered some words in my ear. I gasped at the ingenuity of her plan. However, a wave of optimism washed over me as the likelihood that this plan could work seemed very high.“I know I can make her fall in love with me,” I mumbled to myself in vigor. I had a grin on my face. Celeste had a mischievous smile on her face as she met her gaze.I waited several days for the tension to quiet down. I dressed up in a navy-blue tailored suit. It accentuated my broad frame perfectly. I quickly put on my gold-plated watch and leather shoes on the way to the office.This time, I arrived a few hours after the workers had commenced their daily duties. I aimed to avoid any further attention that would alert Rainora.I entered the office discreetly and signaled the receptionists not to inform her of my arrival.It was easy to confirm my details with the security personnel as I was among the executive members of the boa

Caleb “Let go of her…” A familiar yet domineering tone snapped. It had the baritone of an angry lion. The sudden command of that voice took me aback. I turned to confront the source of the voice, and it turned out to be none other than Nikolas. He shot a dark glare in my direction, which left me shuddering. But I regained my thoughts and met his gaze. “What are you doing here so early, Nikolas?” I had a cheeky smile on my face as I replied. His eyes darkened at my response. His eyes focused on my grip on Rainora’s hands. I tried to tighten my grip to antagonize him, but suddenly, Rainora managed to free herself due to my distraction. Before I could make any movement, she rushed off to the building. I had a smirk on my face as I watched her retreating figure. The audience watching the entire scenes eventually dissipated while whispering, making their conversations inaudible. “I came for an early morning meeting, but it appears I got here just in time-” Nikolas curved his lip

CalebI balanced on my soft bed mattress, glancing through the latest edition of a trending female magazine. It featured full coverage of women in various tasteful attire and casual wear. They looked stunning in their various poses and stances. It also featured various articles on how to enhance intimacy between couples and other relationship goals. This always made me chuckle. I read the magazine to while away time when I was abrupted by loud yelling and cacophony. I hissed as I dropped the magazine and headed out to the source of that squabble this early morning.I followed this noise to the dining hall, where I saw my elder brother, Nikolas, storming out with dark gazes. I had a puzzled look as I scanned across the room. Mother Irene’s face turned red in anger, she kept venting out her recent disagreements with him to Celeste, my younger sister. Celeste had a mischievous smile as she met my gaze. I surmounted that whatever happened between Irene and Nikolas, she was smack in the m

NikolasThe morning rays gently tapped my skin as I slowly opened my eyes. I woke up to the gorgeous view of Rainora sleeping in such harmony. Her occasional snoring made me chuckle quietly. I tried to slip my hand away from her grip, but she held back instinctively. I heaved a sigh as I resorted to keeping an eye on her until she woke up.Finally, she woke up with a bright smile on her face. Her eyes widened as she snapped back to reality. Her cheeks turned red and blushed. She bit her lips as she glanced at me.“Good morning, Nikolas.” She said calmly. She raised her duvet to cover her lips slightly. I grinned at her shyness. “Good morning, dear. Hope you slept well?” I asked in a sincere tone. She nodded in agreement, and her demeanor slowly changed as she probably remembered the events of the night before. My heart started pacing as I felt the urge to help her forget all her sorrows. I forced a smile on my face as I held her hand firmly.“You snore in your sleep,” I said mockingl

Rainora POVI squinted my eyes and recognized the smug on Catherine’s face. She wiped the sweat dropping from her forehead as she adjusted the camera on the tripod. She had a malicious grin on her face as she shouted instructions.“Move closer to get the perfect angle.” She gestured her hands to move towards her. I tried to feebly spring away but the burly man’s strength was over whelming. He twisted his smile slightly. “I like it when you resist.” He aggressively pinned me down to the mattresss.“Why are you doing this Catherine?” I pouted. She had a vengeful look as she gazed at me.“This video should be enough to dissuade Nikolas from your spell.” She pressed the play button on the camera.Just as he tried to remove my coat. A loud thud stormed through the door. A dominating figure stood tall at the entrance. His dark gaze shuddered the burly man, he had a murderous glint in his eyes as he met my gaze.“Nikolas-” I called out. He clenched his fists in anger till blood came out. He

Rainora POVSeveral days after the incident with Celeste in the office, it gradually returned to normal. After the buzz spread, the frenzy finally subsided. This was due to the fear of speaking ill against an executive family member of the company. I continued my routines as usual and proceeded with the to-do list for the day.I got a call from a receptionist on the ground floor.“Good afternoon, Miss Rainora. You have a package here addressed to you.” She said in a calm tone. My breath was caught in my throat.“Who will send a package to me here in the office?” I thought to myself. I snapped out of my daze and replied. “Yes, you can send it upstairs. Thank You.” I dropped the intercom.Moments later, a man dressed in a red shirt and black pants with a company logo crested on his chest walked out of the lift. He had a parcel balanced on his waist while holding a bouquet of red roses in the other hand. He had a polite smile on his face as he approached me.“Good afternoon. Are you Mis
