Rayne's Revenge 27 - Changing looks
27. Changing looksRayne's POVI was breathing fast. Too fast.I had to get far away from the ice cream joint as fast as I could so Zia would not see me. Leo was following me happily, oblivious to what was going on and it was only when I reached the far end of the mall did I stop and place my hand on my chest to catch my breath.That was a very close call."Mummy are you okay?" Leo's tiny voice asked and I nodded, trying to smile and appear as though everything was normal"Yes baby""Then why is you hand on your chest? Does it hurt from the little game we just played?" He raised his tiny hand towards me and I got down into a squat so he could place his hand on my chest.The little guy had thought that we were playing a game by running all the way from the ice cream joint to the other side of the mall. At least I didn't have to make up a lie for the little drama that just happened."No my love, my chest doesn't hurt, it's just beating real fast like yours is " I placed my hand on his c

Nathan's POVRayne's new look was breathtaking. We had gone to get the haircut together and once they were done and she stepped out, my breath had been snatched from me and I had not stopped gushing about it since two weeks now. Every morning when I woke up and saw her it was like I was seeing her for the first time ever and I hoped that I woke up to her face till my last day on earth.Since she was making fast progress with her agency, I decided that it was going to be a good idea for us to employ a nanny for Leo, just to handle the things that we would normally do like getting him ready for school, taking him there and bringing him home home. I woke up and didn't find her beside me and I immediately knew that she was definitely in the kitchen helping the chef to make breakfast. It was something she did occasionally but everytime on Saturdays because she liked to make her unique pancake recipe for us all.I took my time in getting ready for the day because I didn't have to go into t

I had cut it into a Korean boy haircut and dyed it a dark red color. I looked like a totally different person and I loved it so much.Since I had resumed office fully, saturdays had become a day when Nathan, Leo and I spent quality time together by going to the park or the mall and sometimes even just driving around town while enjoying each other's company.We had also employed a nanny for Leo too and she was a sweet woman. Nathan's friend had been unable to help us get one that we found suitable so I decided to speak to Zara, our chef about it and she assured me that she knew the right person for the job and the next day she came to work with a woman that looked exactly like her and it turned out to be her sister. I immediately employed her because Zara was a complete sweetheart so her sister sh

Rayne's POVI waited and watched the door close behind Jessica and then open again and this time, a man was behind her. He was obviously a delivery guy"Good day ma'am" he smiled and I smiled back at him"I have a package for you" he stretched out his hands and handed me the flowers "Who is it from?" I asked in confusion cause I didn't know anyone who could be sending me flowers"There's a card on it ma'am. He said I should deliver it directly to you"I looked around and found a card stuck between the rose petals and I opened it. It was from Nathan. A small smile appeared on my lips"It's from my husband" I turned to Jessica with a smile then back to the delivery guy"Thank you for delivering this"The delivery guy smiled and nodded before turning to leave. "You're welcome, ma'am. Do have a great day" I closed the door behind him and turned to Jessica, who was still standing in the living room, a curious expression on her face."That's so sweet of your husband ma'am.

Rayne's POVThis was all so cute and I felt loved and only Nathan could make me feel that way. He led me to the bathtub, which was filled with water that was the perfect temperature. I sank into the warm water and felt as the tension from the day began to melt away, soothed by the aromatic oils and the gentle strokes of his hands as he started massaging my shoulders.He took his time to knead my shoulders, getting rid of all the knots and tension in it and I couldn't help but let out a moan occasionally. I had truly needed this and I was glad that he had thought about it and did it on a whim for me.The bath took a long time but I wasn't complaining because I wanted to truly relax and feel the aromatic properties of the oils sink into my skin.After massaging, we just sat cuddled up in the bathtub, our hands running over each other's skin.Our bodies pressed together, skin against skin, the tension between us was as thick as the steam swirling around the bathroom. Our eyes locked an

Nathan's POVI opened my eyes and immediately closed them when the sun ray shining through the window shined directly into my eyes. I had forgotten to close the blinds. I squinted my eyes while they were still shut and then opened it at a go, blocking the effect of the sun ray from affecting my eyes again.I turned over to the other side of the bed and was surprised that Ryane wasn't there. Where could she possibly has gone? I asked myself but soon got my answer when I perceived fresh pancakes coming from the kitchen. I smiled, the thought of last night filling my mind. I had wanted her to feel loved and to know that I loved her be you measure and I hoped so hard that I had achieved that, removing any doubts that she had about my love for her.It was Saturday and that meant it was the day we get to eat Rayne's special pancakes. I rolled out of bed and made my way to the kitchen, my stomach growling in anticipation. Rayne was there, flipping pancakes with a spatula, her hair tied up

Rayne's POVTo say I was grateful was an understatement. The office was moving fine, my family bond was getting stronger and my marriage was blossoming.Ever since the first five employees resumed, we had quickly found the remaining four people to complete the vacant role and as usual I did an excellent job in selecting them because they were all hardworking and knew exactly why they were employed to work for me.We had meeting and after brainstorming we put our plans in motion to start looking for talents that we were going to manage. We were going for all sorts of artists as long as they had good potential."Set up the flyers across the streets, in public places where people would definitely see them" I instructed the head director.It was a hectic one but soon enough we had talents applying in large numbers for them to be managed by the agency but as usual I always used an iron hand in picking who was going to be associated with the company.

The file I was holding was a talent application and the artist was really good,even better than our face of the company and there was no way i could afford to not offer her a job.Her name was Emily.But the problem was that she was an abandoned talent from Star Struck and taking her in was very likely to cause some kind of trouble for her but after thinking for a bit I decided that I was going to take the chance. How bad can it actually get?I finished looking through the rest of the application and when it was time to send them to the company's recruiter, I picked out Emily's application"I'll take care of this one myself" I told Jake, the recruiter when he raised an eyebrow in question and I watched him pick up the other applications and leave.

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
