Rainora POV“Rainora, is that you?” a woman in her early twenties called out to me. I tilted my head and glanced at the lady standing in front of us. She wore a blue gown that accentuated her figure. Her shiny accessories seemed outdated. I narrowed my eyes and finally recognized her voice.“Yes…Natasha right?” Her eyes widened with joy that I recognized her. She abruptly pulled a chair to our table. Thomas furrowed his brow. She feigned ignorance as she continued glancing at me.“Rainora, you look so different. You're not as chubby as before.” Natasha smiled wryly, and she looked suspicious as she sensed the tensed atmosphere between me and Thomas. “A lot has changed since high school. Yet you remained the same Natasha.” I smiled from the corner of my lips. Natasha's face turned ashen in embarrassment. “You-” Her expression was to reply with words, but she decided to remain silent. She adjusted the hem of her dress. She turned her gaze to Thomas.“ Doctor Green, I didn’t know you

There were huge posters several foot long hanging from the ceilings, of supermodels and famous actors striking different alluring poses marketing the different designer brands and products.It was filled with various customers who were browsing the various items with enthusiasm and comeuppance.Like children in a candy store. I quietly walked around to the clothes section to pick out items for Arin and Mary. Thomas followed closely behind. I bit my lips as I occasionally caught him starring at me like a lost puppy. There was a sense of awkwardness between us. I quirked my lips as I met his gaze.“Your a guy right?” I asked while glancing at Thomas. He had a dumbfounded look on his face as he checked out his masculine physique.“The last time I check-” Thomas replied in a sarcastic tone. I shot him a glare while I went through the male T-shirts section.“

Rainora POVNatasha walked in with a sense of superiority into the boutique. She always had a way of spreading false and poisonous rumors about anyone who defies her. Ever since high school, she has come up with wild rumors just to slander me. She once told people I was an orphan. I only found out after many students alongside teachers kept greeting me in the classroom and the hallway. “So sorry for your loss Rainora.” They said with a sad tone. I didn’t understand why they greeting me with condolences. It was still several days later that I figured out it was her who started spreading these false rumors about me. That was after I was reprimanded for misinformation by the principal. I furrowed my brows while she approached me. I sensed a headache was coming up.“They may not work in big cities, but they are only doing their job Rainora.” She had a wry smile on her face. Other customers had a disdainful look as their attention focused solely on me. I knew if I didn’t handle this mat

Nikolas POVThe night sky was filled with stars sparkling with light as I approached Rainora’s house. It was a quiet suburb with solar-charged street lamps positioned proportionally along the road illuminating the pathway for cars to move freely. I signaled the driver to stop as we arrived at the location. I opened my phone and confirmed the address sent to me. After confirming it was correct, I paid the driver for the trip. His eyes widened in joy as he counted the money. His eyes flickered excitedly as he rushed out to drop my luggage from the trunk.I stepped out and glanced around the tidy lawns and serenity of the environment. I snapped back from the sound of my box being dropped as the driver placed it in front of me.“Thank You so much, Sir, here is my card. Call me if you need a ride anywhere. I will be there in a flash.” The driver replied in an enthusiastic tone. I slightly nodded as I collected his card. “Frank Rogers…”The name was written in a stylish font on a white col

Rainora POV Mary signaled I come to sit with her on the sofa. I huffed as I sat down in the living room. “Your Boss is quite charming,” Mary said with a skeptical tone. She grinned while looking at me. I knew exactly what she was implying. She wanted to find out more about my connection with him. “I never noticed that; he has always been professional with me.” I bit my lips. Even though Nikolas has always been formal with me, we have started getting closer during these few weeks. However, I wasn’t ready to tell Mary anything yet until I was sure about us. “If you say so-” Mary replied with an unconvinced look. She could tell from my expression that it was a touchy subject for me so she decided not to pursue more. She let out a “hmph” as she continued surfing the TV channels. I picked up the shopping bags at the door and brought them to the living room. “I bought these items from the shopping mall for you.” I opened the bags meant for Mary. She gasped as I passed the clothes and a

I wore red bottom high-heels and I strode out of the house. Mary had a suspicious smile as we greeted briefly before I left.“You’re going to meet your boss, right?” Mary grinned as she asked. I shot a glare at her as I opened the doorknob.“...”I picked up a taxi and headed to the Horizon Hotel. After paying the driver, I walked through its revolving doors.

Rainora POV“Well…well, we meet again Rainora.” Natasha sneered as she approached my table. I felt a headache was coming up. The last time we met at the shopping mall, it didn’t end the way Natasha wanted. She had a cold glint in her eyes as she pulled up a chair close to me.“What brings you here Rainora, are you still leeching off the Doctor?” Natasha gritted her teeth. I clenched my fists as I met her cold gaze.“I don’t need to leech from anyone, Natasha. Unlike you, I have a job.” I replied in a sharp tone. Her face turned crimson in rage. She glanced around nervously as the remaining customers spoke in inaudible tones giggling.“You-” Natasha snapped. I twisted my lips slightly. She regained her composure. She straightened her back with an aura of superiority as she gazed at me deeply.“Now they allow all sorts of low-lives into this luxurious restaurant!” Natasha had a sinister smile as she yelled. People started paying more attention as whispers were going around.I felt a thu

Rainora POV After we ate to our heart's content, Nikolas gazed at me deeply. I held the hem of my dress as his piercing glances sent shivers down my spine. His expression was filled with questions about my connection with Johnson. I told him that we worked together and all that happened subsequently. He let out a sigh of relief when I was done. His demeanor softened as his eyes flickered with happiness.“You’re truly amazing Rainora.” He said in an affectionate tone. My cheeks turned red and flushed. I curved my lips slightly.“I just gave him simple advice,” I replied to him in a gentle tone. He reached out and took my hands in his. A wave of comfort washed over me. I held his warm hands tightly as I met his gaze.“I’ll be returning to the city tomorrow. Wren called to tell me there is an urgent business for me to take care of personally.” Nikolas’ face turned serious as he slumped back in his chair.I cleared my throat as we withdrew our hands. “Then I will go back with you,” I re

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
