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

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

My reflection in the boutique mirror mocked me. The emerald dress, the one that supposedly accentuated my perfect curves felt a little too provocative for an "Engagement party dress.”Elliot stood a few feet away, his designer suit as stiff as his posture. His gaze was fixed on his phone, not even a single interest in the woman he was supposedly going to marry."You look… green," he observed finally, without looking up.He finally acknowledged my existence with a bored glance. I just wished he could look at me differently. “I could get another one if you want?”"Let's just fucking get this over with," he sighed, his voice far from any warmth.Elliot Levin, my childhood crush, the boy whom I worshiped the ground he walked on, hated me. It wasn't a secret. He'd never looked my way in high school, and here we were, engaged to be married. Except, our "engagement" was a carefully crafted publicity stunt for Star-Struck, my father’s entertainment agency.We exited the boutique. "So," I st

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 ja

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

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
