Rayne's Revenge 108. Help
Rayne's POVIt didn't take long before the police arrived at the gas station but by then I had already lost a lot of blood from my many injuries and was barely conscious. I could barely make out the voices around as I felt myself being lifted and placed on a hospital table and pushed into an ambulance.My eyes opened to a blue room and from the smell that hit my nose immediately, I knew that I was in no where else but a hospital and I could hear some papers rustling beside me.I turned to my side to see a young woman in a police uniform sitting on one of the chairs and she looked up when she head some movements and smiled warmly at me,"You're awake" she said and I blinked my eye in affirmation"Do you feel any pain? Should I call the doctor?" She asked and I shook my head slightly to the best of my ability and she smiled and continued looking through the papers she was looking at. The room remained quiet like that for a minute until I couldn't take it anymore"Please I'll love to cal

Elliot's POVThe sound of the police siren was making me go insane. Just a few moments after I had decided that the best decision was to run, the police had arrived and were now sweeping the whole area in search of me. The had arrived so fast and I had not even had the time to get far away from the gas station but I was very intent on not being caught and taken in as a common criminal so I had to find a temporary hiding place.I was squashed between two trees as I watched the police sweep the area. That stupid bitch, Rayne! I cursed internally. She was going to pay for this, I just needed to get away from this place first.I sighed quietly, using it as a means to hide the groan I wanted to let us because I was in pains from the injury see has given me with the piece of glass.I had genuinely been shocked by her braveness. When did she get so much confidence to fight for herself like that? Even back at her father's safehouse, there was a point that I had gotten scared that she was actu

Zia's POV Elliot was taking an eternity to get here or had the police got a hold of him? If they had then I should start thinking of how to escape so as not to be caught up in the dirty business that that would mean. We had avoided the police all these while and then when he had a stupid idea, he had brought them right in front of our doorstep.I was in the shower when all of a sudden, the door opened and no other than Elliot's head poked in. I simply glanced at him from head to toe and took in his appearance. Rayne had really done something to him because he looked a mess with wounds and blood all over his body. He looked rough.I simply turned and continued my shower and he continued standing there like some robot. I smiled internally, the thing with Elliot was that he was very easy to handle as long as I was naked but I had no intention to play that card with him anymore. We were done.I finished and took a towel and it was as if the spell was lifted from him once I covered up my

Rayne's POVIt was getting discharged from the hospital that morning and I honestly couldn't wait to leave because the smell of the hospital was getting unbearable. Throughout my stay there, Nathan had started with me, sleeping on the couch opposite me. The man knew how to sacrifice and it only made me love him the more. The kids were safe with Mary and Jessica back in New York and they last time we spoke I promised them that I would be coming to see them soon.We were currently waiting for Dad to arrive with the car so we could go and when the door opened and it was officer Thompson that came in, I was a bit surprised"Hey there Rayne" she smiled warmly at me and I returned the smile and she greeted Nathan"So I hear that you're now strong enough to go home. That's excellent news" she beamed"Thank you so much officer" I thanked her. I was genuinely going to miss her bubbly smile and I wasn't sure I was going to see her again because we had not yet decided if we were going to involve

Rayne's POV Relief washed over me, accompanied with a sharp metallic feeling of fear. It felt as though someone was stabbing my back with a knife.Zia had agreed to our offer and we were now a step ahead in getting Leo back. But the hope was short-lived, replaced by the task of planning the exchange and how it would go in our favour, not Zia's. As always, Nathan noticed that I was overthinking again, like I always did and he pulled me into a tight hug, his grip kind of calming the loud noise in my chest. "We'll get our son back, honey. I promise you that."I clung to him like my life depended on it. I needed to tap from his strength so badly because I didn't think I had the courage to go any further in this drama. Kidnapping my son was the last straw anybody could play on me. I tightened my grip on him, he had this aura of strength around him always and I wanted to tap from it at the very moment.We remained unmoving and in each other's arms for a long time and it was only when Janet

Rayne's POVI was too excited but I was also cautious. My initial thought came back to my mind. It all seemed too good to be true. What if it was a trap? What if Elliot was behind this, trying to lure us into a false sense of security and power against him?"I know what you're thinking," Jessica said, knowing what I was thinking about by reading my expression. "But in my opinion, this Kenneth of a guy seems genuine, Ma'am. And even if it is a trap, we have to take the risk. We can't let Elliot win and you know that" "You're right. Let's meet up with him first of all and see what he has to offer. But we'll be cautious, and we'll be prepared for anything."Jessica smiled. "Alright ma'am, let me get my bag and pack up my things ""Sure, I'll be out in a moment " I said already starting to put my desk in order. I just hoped that this Kenneth Jones of a man was a serious man who meant business because I wasn't going to condone anyone that was going to waste my time and he better not be li

Rayne's POVWe were officially going to have our first meeting with the police team that morning and we had woken up extra early to prepare so we don't go late. We had just finished getting ready and we're about to leave the house when Dad called both Nathan and I back,"There's something I'll like to tell you both before we meet with the police this morning" he said and we both looked at each other before returning our gaze back to him,"This is something that I would have told you both sooner but I didn't think it was that important in the fight but now that the police are about to be involved, it's just right I tell you so you don't hear it from them first when I know about it already" he said and I was confused. What was he talking about? Is this another secret that he has been hiding from us?"What is it Dad?" I asked and the silence in the room stretched out for a minute before he let out a deep sigh and started speaking,"You know when we were looking for you, Rayne, your siste

Rayne's POV It was bad enough. I had to endure all of Zia's tactics, but kidnapping my son was the last line. It was weird to have Dad's support, but I needed it. “Are you okay, ma'am?” The driver asked calmly, bringing me back from my thoughts. I shook my head as I tried to compose myself. “Yes, I am fine. Do you mind stopping here for a second? I need to get a cup of coffee.” “Sure, ma'am.” He answered and stopped the car at the side of the road. My heels croaked on the smooth road as I got down.“Hold on, ma'am. I should get it. Your father instructed me to keep a close watch on you, considering everything happening. Please, let me get it. I promise it won't take long.” He pleaded. His tone was calm, and I could sense fear. He didn't want to lose his job, and I understood. “It's just coffee. Starbucks is just there.” I answered, trying to argue my way out a little. The driver got out of the car, walking to the side when I sat, my left leg still out of the vehicle. His hands

Rayne's Revenge 165. Bring Her Down
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 Revenge 163. Out of Bondage
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
Rayne's Revenge 162. Deal With The Devil
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
Rayne's Revenge 161. Escape Plan
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
Rayne's Revenge 160. Madness In The Asylum
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
Rayne's Revenge 159. Tough Days
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
Rayne's Revenge 158. Make Up
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 Revenge 157. She Can't Keep Still
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
