Rayne's POV

To 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. I made sure that they were free from any

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 POVThe next day the company signed an agreement with Emily and finally completed her process of being a member of the agency.Her contract was to last for three years and even though it was supposed to be a secret thing between us, somehow the media got a hold of it and soon enough it was all over the news because according to them, no one who loved their company would intentionally sign a talent that was dropped by star struck which I of course thought was bullshit. I was ready for whatever it was that was going to happen."Congratulations once again" I smiled at Emily. The paperwork was done and now we were all gathered in a private restaurant having a small celebration.Emily beamed with joy, she was so happy and I was glad that she was "Thank you, Rayne.

I was looking at another letter from Elliot himself, asking to have a talk with me. This was the fifth letter in three days. I was about to drop in into the dust bin when my cellphone rang"Hello?" I asked impatiently into the phone, I hated that I had been distracted from my work "Good afternoon ma'am" it was Jessica, the secretary"What is it Jessica?""There's someone here to see you ma'am" she said casually but from the volume of her voice, I already sensed that something wasn't right because she was whispering"Who is it?""The CEO of Star Struck ma'am" her voice even went lower and I almost chuckled loudly"Tell him, I'm not available to see him" I said and ended the call.I knew that he wanted to talk about Emily but I wasn't going

    Rayne's POVI heard the door slam shut and I knew that he was gone. He had a lot of nerves to come into my office and think that was going to agree to see him solely because he was the CEO of Star Struck. He should have known that I do not kiss ass especially since I had the audacity to take in one of his abandoned talents.I picked up one of his letters and scanned through it again. Mere looking at it, I noticed the lack of professionalism but then I wasn't surprised because after all why did he need professionalism when all he goes around doing is manipulating and bullying people all for his selfish gains.I crumpled the letter in my hand, feeling disgusted by the whole situation. Elliot Levin was a master manipulator and a thief, and I was not going to let him get the best of me again. I knew the way he treated his talents, like they were nothing more than pawns in his game of power and control. And I had seen the way he had discarded Emily, like she was nothing more than trash bec

  • Rayne's Revenge   39 - Ahead of the enemy

    Nathan's POVWe were soon asked to leave the backstage so the competition can continue and we did but since Leo already performed, I hardly payed attention to the remaining instead my mind went back to what Ryane had told me earlier about Elliot coming to see her at her office. I didn't like it one bit because subconsciously I knew that it was about to be the start of a fight between the two of the companies and I didn't want Rayne involved in that kind of thing.Soon the competition ended and Leo's school came out as the winners and it was expected, their performance was by far the best.We walked out of the venue after sharing in the joy of the students and their parents but I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. Elliot's sudden appearance at Rayne's office was a clear warning sign that he was not going to let Emily's departure slide. And I knew that Rayne, being the fierce and determined person she was, would not back down from a fight and I didn't want her too, if anything I

    Rayne's POVI wasn't surprised when I saw the news. In fact, I had expected it and it amused me that I could so easily predict Elliot's next move.The caption of the story on the news headline was very interesting if I said so but reading the story, one who was smart would know that it was a made up story and poor attempt to put my company's name in jeopardy.It read "New Entertainment Agency thinks that they're all that but are they really?"I chuckled when I reread it, it was only screaming jealousy because looking at our charts and how fast we were growing, us thinking that we're all that shouldn't be questioned because we actually were.I couldn't help but feel satisfied while I read the article. It was a clear attempt by Elliot and Star Struck to discredit us and slow our growth down but it was a weak attempt because we already had investors who knew our worth and that what we had to offer was premium talent only.I called Jake into my office, and we both read the article togethe

    41. The game is the gameElliot's POVThey were playing with fire and it seemed like they were not aware. My plan was to spread as many lies about them as possible so that their investors would all pull away because if someone was going to say bad things about you then you probably dipped your hand in dirty business and nobody liked dealing with someone involved with shady business.I had already released an article that was going to start the process of ruining their business. I believed the thing that annoyed me the most was I didn't know the face of this Lila Adams but I had more things to focus on.A week was gone and there was still no response from them concerning the first article. I felt insulted and I reasoned later on that maybe it was because I had written it under anonymous, next time I would have to make sure I wrote it under the company's name so everyone knows that I have declared war on them.I was seething with anger and frustration. How dare they ignore me? Didn't th

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
