The sound of a keycard swiping shattered the silence, jolting me awake. My eyes flew open, adjusting slowly to the darkness. Then a man entered the room and turned on the lights. The room was bathed in a soft, golden light unlike mine.
This man, tall and broad-shouldered glanced around the room, an excited expression evident in his face. “Finally," he grumbled, "Thought you'd chickened out."
Who was this? A handsome man, with tousled dark hair and piercing green eyes, stood before me. He was dressed in a tuxedo, and he couldn’t contain his arousal as he took in the sight of me tangled up in his sheets.
He blinked, then a slow smile spread across his face. "Well, hello there, beautiful," he said. "You must be Sarah. Running a little late, aren't we?"
My mind raced. Sarah? Who was Sarah? A million questions bubbled up, but all I could do was mutter some words that were indecipherable because I was really drunk. But there was something about this guy that aroused me.
He took off his jacket and unbuttoned his shirt slowly while seductively looking at me.
“You look so fucking sexy in that little floral dress.” He drawled.
My breath hitched as I heard him say that. Then he laid next to me, kissing me slowly from my neck down to my tits. I moaned softly as he ran his hands through my arms while trying to undress me.
“Your skin’s so soft, your face is perfect and this body…a work of art.”
What was I doing, this was wrong but this guy was just too good with his words and his fingers. He finally undressed he until I was stark naked and he kissed every part of me. It went from a passionate kiss to a vigorous one. Like he wanted to swallow me whole. Then he started sucking my nipples and I moaned louder now. He was rock hard, I could feel it.
He asked me to suck his dick and immediately I knelt down on the sheets and took it all in. He held my hair roughly and bobbed my head back and forth letting out a groan of satisfaction. I looked him direct in the eye as I sucked him out and he a little smirk played at the corner of his lips.
When he had had enough of the blowjob, he asked me to bend over, doggy style. Having sex with a total stranger wouldn’t be that bad, I thought to myself. So I obeyed him and bent over. He reached out for the bedside table drawer to get a condom but he struggled to get it opened so out of annoyance he threw the condom away and went in raw.
He started off slowly, and we both enjoyed it. I was right, I guess he liked it like that cause he didn’t stop moaning at each thrust. One hand on my hair and the other, spanking my wobbly ass. He began thrusting hard and fast as he could. Then I rubbed my clits vigorously as he fucked me hard.
“Yeahhhhh, yeahhhh…. Yeahhh. Fuck!” I moaned out loud now, not caring if the whole hotel could hear us. This guy was just too fucking good.
He continued fucking me hard and when he wanted to cum, he pulled out, and then we both collapsed on the sheets. Breathing hard and fast, I said to him, “That was the best fucking sex I’ve ever had in my entire life!”
He chuckled and turned to me, “Me too Sarah. Your body, it’s indescribable.”
Who the hell was this Sarah girl anyway? I thought to myself. I chuckled as I asked him, “Are you sure you pulled out properly?”
And he assured me after a chortle, “I’m a fucking pull out king.” After that, one thing led to another and I was wrapped in his arms and we fell asleep.
There it was, evening sunset light peeking through the curtains woke me from a restless sleep. My head throbbed with a hard head ache. Confused, I sat up, taking in the unfamiliar surroundings. Then, a part of the previous night flooded back – the wooziness, the wrong room.
Something felt missing. The bed beside me felt cool and empty, the crisp sheets a testimony of someones recent presence. What exactly had happened? Where was I?
Glancing around the luxurious hotel room, I spotted a small black card on the nightstand. Picking it up, I saw it only contained a number and nothing else. What had I gotten myself into?
The sound of my stomach growling broke through all of my thoughts. Maybe some room service would help clear my head. Reaching for the phone, I was about to dial when a knock on the door startled me.
A young woman in a crimson uniform entered, pushing a trolley containing covered dishes. "Good evening, Miss," she greeted cheerfully.
"Someone has arranged for a complimentary breakfast but since it’s dusk it’s now a complimentary lunch. And this person would also like that you would not be disturbed. Would you like me to set it up for you now?"
My jaw dropped. Who had ordered breakfast and instructed them not to disturb me?
“Yes, please. You can set it up over there." I murmured, with my hands on my head, still in pains.
As the woman set up the table, I sank back into the pillows, clutching the business card. Taking a deep breath, I stared at the number for an awful amount of time, wondering what had conspired between me and the owner of that number.
The uniformed lady left the room with a final chipper, "Enjoy your evening, Miss!"“Evening?” I mumbled in utter confusion. Disoriented, I blinked at the digital clock beside the bed. 4:00 pm. Panic washed over me, cold and sharp. The engagement party! How long had I slept?My phone, abandoned on the nightstand, buzzed with a notification. Ten missed calls – all from Mom, Dad, and even Zia. The enormity of the situation crashed down on me. I had missed my own engagement party. What would they say? What would Elliot do?But the thought of facing my family – their hurt, their disappointment – filled me with dread. The thought of returning home, of explaining the inexplicable, felt undoable. Tears welled up in my eyes, blurring my vision. What a mess I had made. Maybe, I thought with a sliver of hope, a simple apology would suffice. Maybe I could explain, beg for forgiveness. Boy was I wrong.I returned home ashamed of myself. As I pushed open the living room door, the air was tensed. Da
Five years laterFive years went by. It felt like a lifetime and a blink of an eye all at once. The sting of betrayal from my family all faded into a distant memory. Now, my life was dictated by my little Leo who’s now five years old.My little Leo, my unexpected blessing was my everything. His bright green eyes and mop of messy brown hair, the spitting image of mine, brought love and joy to my universe.Being a single mom was tough, a constant juggle between work, daycare, and the mountains of laundry that seemed to multiply overnight. But the exhaustion that washed over me every night was replaced by the pure, unadulterated love I felt for my son. At work, Mr. Jones, the rumpled manager with a comb-over that defied the laws of physics, hovered a little too close for comfort again. "Looking lovely today, Rayne," he said. I forced a smile, the same practiced one I used to deflect unwanted advances at my fathers agency. "Thank you, Mr. Jones. Busy day?"“Busy enough," he chuckled, li
He had someone usher me into a spacious room with a breathtaking view of the city skyline. His office was a testament to his success. I perched on the edge of a plush leather couch, nervously fiddling with the hem of my shirt. A minute later, he entered, his face conflicted.He stared at me for a long beat, his gaze was intense, searching my face as if trying to unlock a forgotten memory. "You… you don't remember me, do you?" His voice was barely a whisper.A frown creased my brow. Remember him? Should I? "I'm afraid not," I admitted. "We've never met, have we?"“Never met?" He repeated, laughing in between. He ran a hand through his hair, his brow furrowed in frustration. "Look," he sighed, “what’s your name?”“Rayne,” I said, “it says it here on my name tag.” I pointed at the name tag on my breast area. “Alright, Rayne," he began, leaning against his desk. "Let's start over. Five years ago, you spent the night with me at a Hotel. We… well, let's just say we shared a very memorable
I was struggling to wrap my head around what he had just said to me. A contract girlfriend? For the next six months. What did that even mean? A man of his status could simply snap a finger and a thousand girls would be ready to be at his beck and call."What do you mean by contract girlfriend? I don't think I understand clearly" I was staring at him but at the same time avoiding eye contact because of the thoughts that was running through my mind that he was most likely the father of my little Leo.He cleared his throat " I need a girlfriend" he said as if that answered all my questions"Then go get one""It's not as easy as you think" he sounded frustrated"There are rumors going around that I don't have a woman by my side even as I am a young and rich man and those rumours are affecting my work hence I just need a girlfriend for the next six months in order to secure a very important contract in my career"Throughout I just stared at him blankly, his explanation made zero sense to m
The energy between us was tense."You should lighten up a bit. I'm really sorry about what I said" he apologized again and after moments of sulking, I let out a sigh. "Fine. I'll stay. But don't think that means I'll change my mind.""Understood." He nodded, looking pleased by my decision to stay. "We should eat" he grabbed the bottle of wine and opened it while I started to eat my food. It was delicious."So, if we're going to be good company, let's start with something simple. What do you like to do for fun?"I couldn't help but smile at the absurdity of the question given our circumstances, but I indulged him."Fun? Like hobbies?""Exactly. Do you have any hobbies? Do you like to read, paint, play sports?" He listed off some hobbies and I honestly did not know how to answer his question because I had not really done anything fun in the last five years since I had Leo so it was kind of a tricky one"I used to love to read" I smiled remembering the days I used to just read through
NATHAN'S POVGetting home after dropping Lila off, I found it hard to sleep and even when I decided to do some office work in order to keep myself busy, I still could not get rid of the thousands thoughts that filled my head.Memories of that night flooded my mind. Her smile, her laugh, the way she made me feel like I was the only person in the world. I had tried to find her, but she had vanished into thin air. And now, after all these years, I might finally have a lead.Giving up on doing any work, I had gone to lay down to continue the torture and I had no idea when I drifted off to sleep while waking up in between.It was the next day and I had hardly slept the previous night. My mind was still filled with thoughts of Lila. Was she really not Sarah? How could she not be Sarah? The girl I hopelessly fell in lust with at our first meeting that night in New York City. I had a lot of questions with zero answers and it was driving me nuts.She looked exactly like her and even moved her
NATHAN'S POVThe day's leading to the day I was to get the results of the investigation on Lila was almost unbearable. I found it had to do any reasonable work at the office and my secretary had to ask me numerous times if I was okay because the behavior was really unlike me and my anticipation even got a lot worse when I got the news that I needed to be in an important meeting at California. The thing was I did not want to receive the news of the investigation results over the phone. I wanted to be present and in the same room as Max while he told me everything he had found out.My trip to California was going to be for a week and it killed me to realize that I had to wait more days than I had originally planned but I didn't have a choice because my presence was urgently needed at the meeting.I left for California grumpy as hell and throughout my stay, my mood remained bad. During the meeting I had zoned out a couple of times, making them worried about me."Mr Nathan are you good?"
NATHAN’S POVI was mad. I was angry. I was infuriated. She had a baby. My baby and I wasn't aware of it. Why did she keep it from me when she had my card? She should have let me know and then let me decide if I wanted to be in my son's life or not. I've missed out on five years. Five whole years? I was livid. I looked at the file I got from the private investigator I had hired to do a search on her. It contained every bit of information I could think of, it also contained different pictures of her and our son. I had to give it to him, he was quite good at his job. I rummaged through the files and finally got the one I was looking for. The paper that contained her house address. I got up and picked up my car keys. I needed to see for myself, I needed an explanation. I walked out of my office and met my secretary as she was about to enter “Mr Sterling…” she startedI held up a hand “Later…hold off all my appointments for the day after all it's my day off"“But Mr Sterling…”But I alre
Nathan's POVMy heart raced wildly as I ran up the stairs with Jack and Alex behind me. We reached the rooftop, and my heart sank as my worst fears were confirmed. A lady lay unconscious on the floor and I walked slowly to the body scared it was Rayne but it was Pamela. I felt bad but hoped she was still alive. I looked up to see a masked figure dressed in a black suit pointing a gun at someone. My heart skipped a beat when I saw Rayne shivering with fear at the gun pointed at her. “Hey, let her go!” I shouted, finally getting the attention of the masked person. The figure looked at me and back at Rayne and slowly removed its mask revealing a long hair flying with the wind. It was Zia. She had a wicked grin and spoke with a sinister tone. “Oh, my darling. You're just in time to witness the end of…this bitch.”I walked cautiously to her so as not to make her shoot. “How did you get in here?” I asked.Zia chuckled and answered calmly. “You're not the only one with spies, Nathan. I've
Rayne's POVI pulled up to Rayne's house, my second home. Nathan and I were getting off on the good side. He was never that bad if I was being honest. I was just jealous. It was now a habit to spend the weekend with my biological family. Many times Dad had asked me to come stay with them but I couldn't abandon my adoptive parents and he understood.I planned on taking Rayne on a sibling date. I was going to live up to my big brother's expectations since we both missed growing up in each other's lives. Her kids were my kids and I couldn't have enough of them. I had a little chat with our father while Rayne dressed upstairs in her room. When she came down dressed in a lovely casual top and jeans with a baseball cap, I cheered because we had unknowingly worn the same thing.Janet crawled up to me, and she lifted her body making an attempt to stand but her feet wobbled and she fell but I caught her in time. She giggled and raised her hands up for me to carry her. Nathan came by and after
Zia’s POVI didn't say much and let Lucinda do her stuff. She presented the paperwork from the court to the head officer and I was free to go. Nothing felt better than leaving the mental hospital. It was a breath of fresh air. I had all sorts of emotions come to me. It was a mix of relief, anxiety, and uncertainty. Lucinda let me into her car and flashed me a sly smile. “Get in,” she said with an up tone. “We can catch on what we have missed on the way. I want to know everything.” I scoffed and entered the vehicle. “You wish, old witch as if I would ever tell her anything. Like I would ever tell you anything. You deserve nothing but total hatred from me,” I thought, faking a smile at her. She drove as I sat in the car and the image of the mental hospital gates getting distant made me want to fly to the moon. I didn't trust her so I let the questions fly around to be sure. “How did you know I was locked up in an asylum?” I asked, my eyes fixed on her body movements to detect if sh
Zia’s POVMy body grew numb as I lay in the cold room. My mind became foggy as I Lost my sense of time. I hoped Sarah was able to make it far away. She could always find a way to help me but how she would go about it bothered me. My teeth chattered uncontrollably and I couldn't feel my fingers or toes. White smokey gas came out of my nose and mouth anytime I breathed out in my vain effort to warm myself. I clutched down to the side of the room, with my hands folded across my knee.I was about to give up and pray for death so I could end it all, but the door creaked open and a worker stepped in. I raised my head and he looked at me with disgust. There was no hint of flinch of pity in his eyes. “Well, well, well. Look at what we have here,” he said, mocking my situation. “If it isn't the little troublemaker? How do you feel? Do you want to escape or perhaps you want to create another show?”I shivered and tried to maintain eye contact. Every time I tried to speak, my mouth felt dry and
Zia’s POVSarah and I exchanged looks and began laughing. When we were tired of laughing, we started working. I began brushing the dust and dirt away while Sarah mopped the room. We worked for nearly two hours and the room was almost completely clean. I wiped the sweat on my forehead with the back of my hand. We rested a bit as we finished the work. Sarah lay beside me panting. I whispered to her. “What do you say about getting the hell out of here?”“You don't mean..?” Sarah whispered back, her gaze still fixed on the ceiling. “Yeah, leave her for good,” I answered. “How are we supposed to do that? The hospital thinks we are crazy and it would take a long time to convince them that we are sane enough to be discharged, we came here because of a crime,” Sarah replied. “I wasn't talking about convincing anymore. And for all I know, I am pretty sure they can tell we aren't crazy. We have to escape,” I said confidently.Sarah shivered and sat up immediately to think. “That would be
Zia’s POVI stood from my seat and approached her slowly with caution. The ranting and noisy chatter from the other patients didn't stop me. I got to her table and carefully sat on the opposite seat so as not to aggravate her in case I was wrong. “Hi,” I said, smiling. I looked around to make sure none of the nurses, doctors or any officials were watching. “I'm Zia,” I said, giving her my hand for a polite handshake. She looked at me with a hint of curiosity then at my free hand and she slowly let out her hand and shook mine. “Hey, I'm Sarah and I am not crazy.” She said calmly but in a happy voice. “Glad to see someone else has their head right. I was worried you would…” I said, but was unable to finish the words, afraid it would come off as offensive to her. “Koo Koo. Nuts missing and screws flying. Nah, I'm fine. I just act along sometimes so I get to be left alone and not poked with annoying needles all the time,” she explained. She was a chatty one and I liked that. I needed
Zia’s POVThe prison room was cold as I was alone in my room. I glanced at the toilet from my small bed. The bed was only large enough to carry only me. I felt devastated, angry at Rayne but pity for myself. How did I move from the queen of the business world to this? And Elliot? That bastard had betrayed me. I had betrayed him first but it still didn't give him the right to leave me like this.I had spent a month in this disgusting cell, the prison room was neat and I was lucky for someone to pay for me to stay alone after a week of torture and bruising from the other prison mates. I had begged the warden for a phone call to call my Dad, Rayne's father but he didn't respond to any of my calls. Maybe, it was Dad but I was moved to the upper-class prison cells where I could stay alone and not have to worry about fighting for where to sleep with five roommates for the night or being woken up with kicks. The inmates were cruel and I was subjected to slavery. I began to feel how my maid
Make UpRayne's POV“Hello, sister,” Alex spoke softly as our eyes locked onto each other. “Excuse me? What did you just call me?” I asked puzzled. Did he just call me his sister? What was going on here? At that moment, the world stood still. Alex's words hung in the air as I stood frozen.“Sister. You're my sister.” Alex spoke softly. I stepped backward looking him up and down as if he was drunk. “Alex, I think you have the wrong person. Did you hear your head?” I asked with worry etched on my face. Alex walked forward, his hands outstretched to me trying to pacify me. “Rayne, I know this might come off somewhat crazy but I'm your brother. Your twin brother.”“Yo…your twin? What the heck? How's this even possible? I…I should have known. Dad should have known,” I stuttered.Alex hesitated then moved slowly to me unsure of how to proceed. “I…I just found out. It's been a few days. Nathan told me. He brought the test and..”“Nathan told you. Test results?” I asked startled. I eyed h
Rayne's POV“Nathan, Zia's out of prison. She got an appeal and somehow proved her insanity," I complained.“I know. I found out this morning. But that doesn't seem to be the only thing on your mind. What is it?” Nathan said, pulling back as his eyes locked onto mine. I took a deep breath and let it out. “I got a text just after I saw the news. It said the first strike. It was an unknown number and it called me but I was too frightened to pick up. First, Zia gets out and I know she's not smart to do this plus she is at the hospital.” “You think it's Lucinda?” Nathan asked calmly. “I don't know who to blame right now. Have you checked the CCTV footage?” I asked, hoping to find some answers. Nathan answered just immediately as if he was expecting me to ask the questions. “My men are working on it now.” Jack walked in at that moment. “We could find any suspicious activity or persons on the camera. The main circuit seemed to have been tampered with. I am guessing the footage was dele
