Rayne's Revenge 40 - Let the game begin
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

Rayne's POVWhen the notification on my laptop rang out and I saw that it was a response from Elliot, I immediately sent it into the deleted folder because I was not going to waste my time in reading whatever nonsense he had written to me. All I know was that I had already told him what I wanted to and everything else depended on his next line of action but knowing him like the back of my palm, I already knew what his answer was going to be but what he didn't realize was that this was a game that he was already destined to lose.I leaned back in my chair, a smirk spreading across my face. I had expected as much from Elliot - all talk and no real action because he was always in his head and never in reality. I had called his bluff, and now he was scrambling to save face but he didn't know that it was already too late for him to do that.He thought his little email which I was sure was filled with empty threats but I wasn't worried. I had already set the wheels in motion, and nothing co

Rayne's POVThe plan was perfect and all I had to do was make sure that everything that was needed for it to be successful was put in place.Kenneth had been of great use and he was doing his own part of the bargain exceptionally well. Everyday I received the whole detailed rundown of Star Struck's schedule and it helped me to make my calculations so I could strike at the right time.I sat in my office, poring over the latest schedule Kenneth had sent me. My eyes scanned the pages, taking in all the details. A smile started to grow on my face while I read it. This was the one schedule that I've been waiting for since he started sending them to me. We were finally getting very close to finalizing and executing our plans. So close.It was so perfect that I started to laugh at how perfect everything was syncing and my laughter must have made Jessica wonder because soon enough she was at my door and I looked up as she walked in, a curious expression playing on her face. "Ma'am are you oka

Rayne's POVIt was the weekend to the Tuesday that was to be the day of the presentation at Star Struck and everyone had already done their part and we were all now waiting for that day and also praying and hoping that Kenneth and his team at Star Struck did their jobs right for the plan to work just as we expected it to.To ease my mind off things, I decided to make Nathan stay home so we could finally have our family time because we hadn't had time for it for such a long time as everyone has been busy with work and even Leo had been busy with guitar rehearsals every Saturday and he was one of the best players in his school."Good morning my love" I felt Nathan's presence in the kitchen even before he spoke and wrapped his hands around me."Good morning, beautiful," he whispered, his warm breath on my ear sending shivers down my spine. "What's cooking?"I smiled, turning around to face him. "Just some pancakes and eggs as usual. I thought we could have a family breakfast today, since

Rayne's POVIt was Tuesday and my nerves were all over the place. I had hardly slept the night before because I was having anxiety about the plan.I woke up early and assisted Zara to make some breakfast in order to clear my head. I got Leo ready for school and even drove him to school for the first time in a long while since we now had a driver that was designated to taking him to and fro to school.I had them gone back home and gotten ready. My outfit was going to be a simple one so that I would not stand out in the crowd. The presentation was by 10 am and so I had to be in that hall before then and even though everyone expressed their non agreement for me to go their because of how dangerous it was, they already knew that I was not going to listen because i needed to see Elliot's face when he realized what was going on. I needed to see my plan unfold right before my very eyes and recognizing me wasn't going to be easy because I looked nothing like the Rayne that he used to know.I
Last Updated : 2024-05-14Rayne's Revenge 47 - Defeat
Elliot's POVMy eyes widened in shock when I saw what was playing on the screen. Just a minute ago it had been the presentation that I had worked hard on to make sure I got this deal and suddenly it was a clip of me with Stacy, one of my ex talents and how I was trying to persuade her to sleep with me in order for her to start getting paid big checks and I cringed as I watched myself. Where had the video come out from and what the hell was going on?I looked around and everyone was staring from the screen to me and then back at the screen with shock on their faces. I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me.Who must have done this?My mind raced as I tried to comprehend the situation. Who could have done this to me? I thought I had covered my tracks, I thought I had deleted all evidence of my wrongdoings. But clearly, I was wrong.I scanned the room, trying to find the person responsible for this betrayal but everyone in the room looked too stunned to speak, meaning that they were

Rayne's POVI booked us a private restaurant and arranged everything for our private celebration. We had achieved our plan and now it was just to sit back and watch as Elliot and Star Struck in general start to crash gradually but surely.Everyone at the office was invited and Kenneth with his team too got an invite. We had all contributed in making it a success so we had to celebrate together to call in more wins like that for the future."Thank you so much for believing my story and going to this great length to get justice for me" Emily whispered by my side and I sighed"You don't need to thank me for anything. I was just doing the right thing and you were hundred percent worth the stress it took to get you your justice""Oh Rayne. Sometimes I think that you're not aware of just how pure your heart is"I felt the tears start to gather in my eyes and I smiled"That's a very kind thing of you to say. Thank you and besides what are families for right?"She pulled me into a tight hug"

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
