Nathan's POV

The door to the basement opened. It was large and dimly lit. The smell of mildew filled my nostrils. The bodyguards followed my steps as I walked in. My gaze fell on the maid tied to a wooden chair. Ropes on the sides of the chair bound her wrists and ankles. I walked closer to her, my footsteps echoing off the walls. The room was almost empty of any furniture. She struggled with the ropes and wrenched as the painful burn hit her skin.

Her skin was covered in sweat, or was I wrong? I looked again and noticed she was soaked wet. There was a large bowl of water a few meters away from her. “I hope he didn't do exactly what I thought he did,” my inner voice spoke.

“Not like you should pity her. She was ready to harm your son. No one messed with my family,” the voice continued as my anger rose. I maintained a calm expression and turned my gaze to Jack.

“Is she ready to talk?” I asked Jack.

“I believe so,” Jack answered. I had made sure my men didn't touch her. Just scare h

Wasn't he angry a few minutes ago? The maid, Did he..?“She's very much alive. She's ready to cooperate. Zia forced her into it. She threatened her family,” Nathan said. He has read my thoughts. I stared at him and smiled. “I know what you're thinking before you do. That's why I'm your husband,” Nathan said in a low husky voice. He bent down and kissed me on the lips. “Get dressed, sweetie. We are going out.”I was curious about the sudden change of mood. “What's the occasion? You were in a different mood some minutes ago.”“There’s no occasion, just us. Besides, am I supposed to remain angry? She's no threat, plus I can't stay mad, especially when you're looking so tempting. Please, agree,” he replied, his eyes sparkling with mischief. I giggled, and my heart raced with joy. “Don't start now. You're goin

    Rayne's POVI lifted the menu on the table, searching for any tasty food. They had a lot of weird names, and I secretly prayed they would taste nice, too. Nathan went first, his eyes still focused on the menu. “I'll have the Seared Scallops with truffle oil and Meyer lemon, grilled Filet Mignon with truffle butter. Some roasted Scallops and a bottle of the Château Lynch Bages Pauillac wine.”I stared at him, wondering how he could understand everything. The waitress wrote on her paper and turned to look at me. “What about you, madam?”“Do you need help?” Nathan asked, but I felt like a queen and didn't want to agree I was lost. “No,” I answered. My eyes darted at the menu. I looked at the pictures and picked the nicer to eat. “I'll take the Food Gras with pickled cherry and toasted brioche with the Dry-Aged porterhouse steak with creamed spinach and hash browns and some grilled lamb chops with rosemary,” I listed. “Someone is hungry,” Nathan teased, laughing. “And some sparkling w

Clean the speck on your eyes. I was gawking at her when she came in, and you were too. She's way hotter than you. Now, shut up and eat your food.” Her friend shut her up. If that was supposed to be a whisper, then it was a failure as I could hear everything, or maybe I was just too interested in the gossip. The jazz music played louder, distracting everyone. “Stop paying attention to them. I told you, I'm all yours tonight. I need your eyes to be on me,” Nathan said, holding my chin with the tip of his fingers.His eyes held a playful delight, drawing me into the illusion. He was doing things to me, and he knew. The butterflies in my stomach danced happily every second I looked into his eyes. My heart fluttered as I blinked, trying to look away, but I couldn't. My voice was struggling in my throat. “You're qu

How can you be so gorgeous?” I chuckled, my hand still in his as he twirled me around. The music had shifted to a slow rhythm. “You're a smooth talker,” I whispered against the soft voice. “Well, am I smooth enough to sweep you off your feet?” He asked, smiling like he won a trophy. “Maybe,” I said. He faked crying when I said that. “Come on, Nathan. Let's go somewhere quiet.” He stared in shock, not expecting me to make a change so fast. “or do you want to stay here a little longer?” I asked, blinking my eyelashes at him. “What? Not a chance,” Nathan's husky voice sang to my ears. In a flash, he took out some wards of cash from his wallet and signaled to the waiter. “Keep the change,” Nathan spoke without taking his eyes off me. “Get your purse. I can't wait any longer.”His hands pulled me, l

Rayne lay beside me, her chest rising and falling gently as she slept peacefully. Her hair spilt over the pillow and her face. I reached out and brushed the strands of hair away from her face. My fingertips softly brushed against her skin.She moaned, twitching her lips in a pout and continued to sleep. My fingers traced the lines on her lips. They were soft and plump on my finger. I gave in to the temptation, leaning in as I gently kissed her forehead.“Nathan,” she called in her sleep.“Dreaming of me, aren't you princess?” I answered, stroking her hair softly. She stirred

I glanced at my wristwatch for the hundredth time until my ears caught on the sound of the shower turned off.The door creaked open, and Rayne stepped out wrapped in a towel that showed her long legs. I gulped, watching her dry her wet hair with another towel. What exactly was all this torture? My eyes devoured her every second she stood there. She caught me staring and smiled mischievously.“You love what you see, don't you, dear husband?” She purred and continued to dry her hair. “How's the view?”She held so much control over

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.

    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

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

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.

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
