Elliot's POV

My 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 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"

I had worked hard for the back months and I had finally achieved something that I had set my heart and mind completely to so it was only right that I celebrated it in a big way.Zara had already set breakfast on the table by the time I got down and not long after, Nathan who I had left sleeping came down, freshly showered and looking as good as usual in his business suit.He kissed me on the cheek and sat down for breakfast"So I'm hoping you've thought about our conversation yesterday night and now see reason why we have to go on this vacation right?"

I smiled to myself, pleased that he actually valued my opinion."Leo, aren't you ready yet?" I called out to Leo who was still not out of his room. We were going to his school in order to take an excuse for him to leave school so he can come on the vacation with us and just as Ethan had planned, we were going with the sickness option and telling them that Leo has to be checked out because he had a rare sickness. It was crazy but we had no other choice "Coming, Mummy!" Leo shouted back, finally coming down the stairs with his backpack on and a big smile on his face.I chuckled and shook my head. "You'r

The beauty of it was breathtaking.When I had seen it online, I had just known it was the right house but seeing it in real time it was magnificent. The living room had such a cozy vibe to it, the tiles were colorful and the furnitures screamed royalty. This was exactly what we needed - a home away from home.I had just finished taking a shower and gotten dressed when I heard Leo stretch and yawn, finally waking up from his long sleep.

I had found this cool offer on one of the restaurants brochure about camel riding and I had convinced Nathan that we needed to try it out and he had immediately agreed because Leo also got excited about it too.From the brochure, I saw that we were going to ride through the Atlas Mountains so I had gone to the local market near our house and bought some sunglasses and scarves too to protect our eyes and face from the sand particles."Mummy, I look cool with this glasses. Just like Batman" Leo posed like he was about to take off into the sky and I ruffled his hair and laughed. "Yes you do my Batman.

Didn't you hear what I said?" He took his time to look up from the book to me " I heard you Rayne. I disconnected it."Maybe it was the way he said it that irritated me "What do you mean you disconnected it? Why did you do that?"He sighed. "We're on vacation, remember? No work allowed.

    Nathan's POV I was angry. Too angry in fact.The argument between Rayne and I left a sour taste in my mouth but worse than that was the tension in the air. I really didn't want to fight but if she was going to act like she didn't see the issue with what I was saying then I believed it was a necessity after all. I had brought us here so we could just forget about the issue in New York for some weeks but she kept checking in on what is happening even when there was really no need and coupled with the fact that I knew of the news that awaits her, I wasn't liking it one bit.The sun beating my back was even more infuriating and no matter how much I tried to ease the heat, it wasn't working and my frustration grew even worse.I had planned this vacation for her to leave the stress of New York behind, but instead, it seemed like she had brought it with her.I understood her but I've always thought her manner of approach was wrong and I always told her that while still supporting her.

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.

    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.
