Rayne's Revenge 135. Her Doom
Elliot's POV“We? You honestly expect me to believe you have my best interest. Share what company? Zia, I know you. You're selfish as hell, and you're just looking for a scapegoat, but I will not be one.” I replied to Zia with a cold look and walked out on her. Once I got to my room, I laughed, not because I felt used, but because she was more stupid than I thought. Did she think her plan would go through? Without wasting time, I dialed a number. “Morning, boss.” He answered.“You did well with all the drama. I'll have the balance sent to you. Do well to keep a low profile.” I said with a relaxed mind. “Of course, boss.” The receiver responded and hung up. Zia thought she was so clever to double-cross me. She had no intention of helping me clear my name. I had seen her through the crack in her office door talking on the phone. For a person who loved to scheme, she wasn't fast to catch on to everything I did. I ruined her phone to have enough time to get someone repaired, and I ha

ToucheElliot's POV“I wonder if you'll be able to talk if your tongue is cut off,” Zia snarled. I stopped smiling as I noticed the men turn their gaze to me. “Bully,” I murmured and walked out of the room, climbing the stairs to my room.“Elliot!” Zia yelled. “What did she want this time?” I thought and shrugged my shoulders. Her heels kept making clunking sounds as she walked up the stairs, and with a huge force, she pushed my door open. “You!” She yelled. I looked at her like she had lost some screws in her brain. “You're behind this, aren't you?” She asked, her eyes flashing daggers at me. “Me?” I queried, surprised at her outburst. “And where are your manners? Shouldn't you know before entering?”“This is my house, and I can come here anytime and anyhow I want!” Her voice gave me the chills. “You're never going to stop reminding me, huh? Some rich helper,” I answered and went back to ignoring her. “Elliot! Listen to me. I am talking to you!” Her voice now raised in high pi

Elliot's POV“How long do we have to wait? It's getting late, and we need her here before she makes other plans,” Zia's voice spoke behind me. She was pacing again. Why did she have to be so impatient every time?I adjusted my gloves and cleaned all fingerprint traces I might have made. “Be patient, Zia. Don't you love suspense?” I asked.Zia rolled her eyes and spoke coldly. “Right now, I don't need that. I need her here, begging for her life. I just eliminated two problems, and she won't be the third.”“Someone get me a phone,” Zia demanded and eyed me suspiciously, her hand outstretched.“What are you…?” I sighed as I realized what she wanted me to do. “You want me to make the move.” She said nothing and dialed a number. I raised an eyebrow and stretched my hand to collect the phone. “Why? You're scared?” I asked, playing along with her charade. “We’re in this together. Besides, I need to trust you more,” Zia responded in a fake sweet voice. I nodded, understanding her game. “Ok

Rayne's POVThe sun's warmth peeked through the glass windows, waking me up. I stretched my arms and yawned. My hair was a tangled mess like Anna from Frozen. My hair never let me have a sweet and complete beauty awakening for once. My pajamas were wrinkled from a night of tossing and turning because I couldn't sleep. Nathan had to cuddle me before I could let him rest in peace. I swung my legs over the side of the bed, another yawn escaping my lips. My feet softly planted firmly on the ground. Nathan was still fast asleep, making light snores. His chest rose and fell with each gentle breath. He always looked handsome with his thick hair, and his jawline made me want to purr. “God, I married a fine man,” I whispered, and he smiled in his sleep. Was he awake? “Nathan,” I whispered to him, but he was still asleep. I didn't want to disturb him, so I gently slipped out of bed, put on my feather-soft slippers, and went to the garden. I needed the fresh air and gentle breeze to clear my

Rayne's POV“Are you ready, babe?” Nathan asked, briefly taking my attention from the files with evidence of Zia’s shady deals. Dad had smartly made multiple copies, or I would have resigned to my fate. “Yes, I'm ready,” I answered, and Nathan picked up the files, clutching them at once with the recordings Pamela had provided us. “Good. You look tense. I'm going with you,” Nathan spoke softly to my ears, and I nodded. The drive to the police station brought more tension than the relaxation I hoped for. I kept letting out gasps of breath. Nathan held my hand to calm me. “I don't know why I am nervous,” I said between laughter. “It's fine, sweetie. Everything is going to be okay. Scared?” He asked, stroking my hair.I nodded, remembering the past incident almost costing Elvis and me our lives. Elvis was off duty today and was fully recovered. “It's okay. I'm here for you. Nothing's going to happen to you. I promise,” Nathan's soft voice sang to my ears. We arrived at the police st

Rayne's POV“Would you like to say anything to your victims, Miss Zia?” The judge asked.Zia raised her head to stare at the old man. She acted like she was high on drugs. She nodded and stood up to talk with the microphone. “I want to apologize for the pain I caused, and I know nothing I say can change it. I apologize from my heart and hope you can forgive me,” She said with no trace of empathy. Her hand gripped the handle, and she turned around, looking for something. She smiled like a maniac and shot glaring daggers around the room. The moment her eyes found me, she gave a horrible dark smile, and before I could understand what was happening.“You bitch!” She screamed. “It's all your fault! You took away everything from me!” She launched at me like a mad woman. The cuffs couldn't restrain her as she leaped through the chair and almost crashed into me. The security was able to get to her in time and stopped her. My heart skipped a bit as she didn't act right. Drowning echoes of

Rayne's POVA loud thud came from inside as Nathan and I left for work. The car door opened, and I instantly turned. A scream followed, and I exchanged a fearful glance with Nathan. My heart skipped a beat, and without hesitation, we rushed back into the house. I imagined the worst-case scenarios as we got inside. I stopped in shock, staring at the disaster in front of me. Pamela shook Dad's hand. He was lying on the floor, and blood spilled from the side of his head. I dropped to my knees in fear of the worst. “What happened,” I asked in a shaky voice. “I don't know, ma'am. I heard something hard fall, and I came to check. I think Mr. Williams fell from the stairs,” “Don't touch him,” Nathan said, quickly checking Dad's pulse. “He's still breathing. We need to get him to the hospital now!”“Jack! Call an ambulance,” Nathan called out. Jack took his phone out, and in less than three minutes, the ambulance was at our house. I watched them slowly carry him on the stretcher. Elvis d

Rayne's POVI walked back to the room where Dad lay as soon as Lucinda left. I sat by his side, watching him. It was past noon and I wondered how the kids were doing. Dad looked much better than when he was admitted. A lump formed in my throat as I reached out to touch his hand. I whispered in a shaky voice. “Dad?”He didn't answer. “Dad, please. I am begging you. Don't leave me. I still need you.”I was about to cry when his eyes flickered open, a groan escaping his mouth. He turned and looked at me with a smile. “Hey, princess,” he said, his voice low and barely audible. “Dad!” I exclaimed excitedly. “Thank goodness, I was so scared that you would…” I said but refused to complete the words. “Hell nah, I'm not going anywhere. Not when I get to see you smile a lot with Nathan and the kids. I haven't been a grandfather for long. I promise you, sweetie, I am going nowhere,” Dad said as he slowly removed the oxygen mask with his free hand that wasn't strapped with tape and needle.Hap

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 164. Second Strike

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.

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

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
