Rayne's Revenge 16 - Bonding
NATHAN’S POVThe light pressure on my arm woke me up. I opened my eyes to see Leo’s little face staring right at me intently, his hair sticking out cutely in odd places. When he noticed I was awake, he said in awe“We both have green eyes”I couldn’t be mad even if I wanted to. He had just woken me up at the wee hours of the morning just to tell me that and while on a normal day, I would have lost my mind, I just found his interest adorable “Of course we do, my boy. It’s the sterling eyes”His eyes widened “Am I a sterling too?”“Yes, you are.” I sat up and pulled him closer. “I know this is all very confusing, Leo. But your mum and I will explain it all in the morning, I promise. All you need to know for now is that I am your dad, and I’ll never leave again, okay?”Leo grinned “it’s not that confusing. I like having a dad, it’s fun.”I smiled at him, then looked over at the the wall clock. “It’s 3 am. Why are you awake?”“I woke up and got scared so I was looking for mummy but I

Rayne's POVThe door bell rang a few minutes later and Nathan glanced at the wall clock,“That must be be chef. What would you like for breakfast Leo?”“Pancakes!”Nathan laughed “That sounds yummy. Rayne could you get the door and relay that to her? I need to get ready or I’ll be late"“Of course” I said, carrying Leo out of the room. The chef was a chubby cheerful middle aged woman, who although I could see the curiosity in her eyes, didn’t pry and brought up casual conversations about the weather and breakfast like it was a routine we did everyday. She also took a liking to Leo which even though I was grateful for, I wasn’t surprised about. He was adorable. While she made breakfast, I gave Leo a quick bath and tried my best to explain this new development in a way a five year old would understand. “Leo, I know a lot has happened in the last few days and it’s a bit confusing, isn’t it?”Leo thought about it for a second, then said“A little bit. How come I didn’t have a dad befor

Nathan's POVShe continued to stare at me, shock written all over her face, before she managed to speak,“W-what do you mean?”“I know this is supposed to be a marriage of convenience and I’m in no means trying to pressure you, but I like you, Rayne, and I believe that with time it could grow to become a lot more than that. All I’m asking is that you have an open mind about this. If it doesn’t amount to anything for you, then we can just revert to our initial arrangement. But we should at least try, don’t you think?”She just continued to stare at me in shock, not saying anything. “I have just one question. Since we reconnected a few days ago, have you never felt anything towards me?” I waited for her to reply, when she didn’t, I called out to her again. “Rayne?”She jolted back to reality "Yeah""I asked you a question"She sighed "Of course I find you attractive, Nathan. Who wouldn’t? But I never thought our relationship will become a romantic”“But we can work towards it, can’

Rayne's POVWe put Leo to bed and I smiled at him gratefully.“You did an amazing job, Thank you”He walked towards me, encroaching into my personal space until I was trapped between the wall and him. “You don’t have to thank me for taking care of our child” he said.I gave a weak smile, but I wasn’t really thinking anymore. We were barely touching, but I swear I could feel all the muscles in his body. I wanted him to reach out and touch me, kiss me…Using his fingers, he raised my face to look up at him“I’ve been thinking about kissing you from the moment I saw you again at the office and I can’t really wait any longer”He placed his lips on mine softly. Barely even, like he was asking for permission. It took me a second to process what was going on, but immediately I did, I was ready to devour him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and deepened the kiss. I was probably coming off too strong, but I didn’t care, I had been thinking about this moment for days now.I heard him chuckle
Last Updated : 2024-04-29Rayne's Revenge 20 - Mrs Sterling
RAYNE’S POVI watched Nathan sleep, his chest rising and falling in a soothing motion. My husband. The last time I thought about that word, I thought I was going to be marrying Elliot, someone I knew was only with me for what he could gain. But here I was, lying next to a hotter, better looking, kinder man. My man. I had no recollection of how I got home last night. The last thing I remember was sending Leo home with his nanny, then having some more wine. I was probably so drunk he had to drag me home. Now that was embarrassing, but surprisingly, I wasn’t embarrassed enough to want to hide from him. I placed my head on his bare chest, listening to the rhythm of his heartbeat. He wrapped his arm around me and I smiled, leaning into his touch“Good morning wife” he said “Good morning, husband. Hope I didn’t completely ruin the wedding night experience for you?”“I had a great time. You were fun even while drunk”I laughed “Dragging your drunk new wife all the way home was probably n

Rayne's POVMy hands felt warm in his but his voice was serious,“I’m glad you want to achieve these things,Rayne. I really am. But you don’t have to start from scratch. You already have all those things. I don’t want you to keep running. Five years is more than enough to run away from your demons, I believe it’s time for you to face them. We both know Starstruck should be yours, I suggest we get it back.”“But that’s really not what I want. Moreover, Starstruck is more of my dad’s than it is mine. He can do whatever he wants with it and he made it quite clear that he doesn’t want me near it. I don’t think there’s any reason to shake things up right now. I would prefer to just maintain the peace.“I’ll support any decision you make, but when you change your mind, all you need to do is let me know, and we’ll fight to death, okay?”I smiled.“I won't change my mind, but thank you. I really appreciate you having my back”“Always”I had no intentions of going after Starstruck, but I was g

Rayne's POV"Hold on baby, Mummy is coming okay" I called out to Leo while I pulled away from Nathan and started adjusting my dress. The situation was comical and I tried to keep a straight face but once I glanced at him, we both burst out laughing,"It's not actually funny" he said between small laughs and I nodded, still laughing.He was right. We had been in the middle of an intense make out session and when things had started getting very heated, Leo's little voice had suddenly interrupted and put an abrupt end to it. It was frustrating to say the least but there was nothing we could do. Maybe we really needed that honeymoon after all.I opened the door and found a smiling Leo who was obviously oblivious to what he had just interrupted,"Mummy!" He ran into me, hugging me beneath the knees and I rubbed his head"And how's my baby doing this morning?" "I'm fine mummy" he looked towards the bed and then ran to Nathan when he realized that he was also awake.I watched them interact

Rayne's POVLife was moving swiftly and sweetly too. I had become a stay at home wife and mom somehow and although it was enjoyable for a while, I suddenly started craving going back out there and doing some lind of work just to feel useful again.Nathan was not complaining, in fact if anything he liked that I jist got to stay at home while he provided everything we needed in the house but I was not used to living like that. Even when I was still my father's daughter, I had still worked my ass off even though I really didn't need to and remembering that period suddenly filled my mind with an insatiable desire to get back to running an entertainment agency.Without informing Nathan I started researching on how I could start up something even if if was small at least I would still be doing something I love and it wasn't hard to find a company that was selling due to mismanaged talents and I immediately knew that it was what was meant for me because I had a reputation for reviving dying

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
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
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
