Rayne's Revenge 55 - Settling differences
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. I kn

Rayne's POVIt seemed like a normal statement but I knew it was not because of the way that he said it.What truth was he talking about?"What do you mean by truthfully? Have we been lying to each other about something?" I raised an eyebrow at him and he sighed"Not lying per say but yes, I've been keeping something from you that I believe I shouldn't have"He took my hand in his and it took me a lot not to withdraw them because I didn't know what he was going to say next."What is it Nathan?"Another sigh escaped his lips, "I've been meaning to tell you but I've been so unsure" he was stalling and she knew it"Tell me already please. What is it?" I asked again. His hands left mine and I wished it was still on mine cause I was scared"It's about your company" he went silent and I remained silent too, waiting for him to tell me what the problem was once and for all"One of your investors is going to pull out soon" he said it as if he was so sure of his words and my heart felt like it w
Last Updated : 2024-05-22Rayne's Revenge 57 - Realizations
Nathan's POVShe was misunderstanding my intent and I didn't like it one bit. She had to realize that the only reason why I kept the news away from her was because I didn't know how she was going to react and then telling her just proved why I should have kept it to myself so she could just find out by herself but I was trying to prepare her from the tremendous shock and pain she was going to fill when she had that her top investors were planning on pulling out but I doubt if I had achieved that. In fact, I might have just made it worse.I wondered where she had stepped out too. I contemplated chasing her but decided against it because I reasoned that she might really need to clear her head and think straight and also realize that I only have her best interest in mind.I sighed and rubbed my temples, feeling a headache coming on. These headaches had become a constant this days and it was crazy because we were supposed to be on a vacation but we still had to deal with stupid stuff lik

Rayne's POV"How are you baby?" I asked Leo while rubbing his head. I had not expected to hear his scream when I opened the door so I had been a bit taken aback by his hug. Nathan was on the couch looking at us. He was the only one I had expected to meet in the living room and I already decided that I was going to give him the silent treatment."I'm okay now that you're here Mummy. I thought you weren't going to come back" I tried to hold it in but it was impossible "I wasn't going to come back? How did you even come up with that idea?"He shrugged his shoulders hard "Well I heard you and Daddy having an argument earlier that's why"He had heard us. I had honestly believed that he was sleeping."Honey, it was simply an argument okay? And I genuinely thought that you were sleeping""I was trying to sleep but your voices were loud and I was scared"I pulled him to me and gave him a big hug. "I'm so sorry you heard that, baby. Mommy and Daddy were just having a little squabble and we lo
Last Updated : 2024-05-25Rayne's Revenge 59 - Demands
Nathan's POVI watched the smile disappear from her face and my heart sank. Before she had asked me, I had already thought about it but I figured that it wasn't going to be that easy to just invest in her company given that we do not by any chance do the same type of job and it will surely be suspicious to the general public as to why I was willing to invest in her company,"You're not going to do it? But why?" I saw the hurt in her eyes and I wished to God that she would stop jumping into conclusions when things like this happen and believe that I have always had her best interest in mind.I reached for her hands but she took a step back and I sighed, thinking 'Not this again ""It's simple. I can't just give you some money because it's going to be traced back to us and I can't also just randomly invest in your company because people are going to start to wonder I was investing in an entertainment agency when I don't need it for anything tangible"Her face fell, and she looked at me

Rayne's POVOur vacation was finally over and we were going home the next day but unlike other vacations that I used to always feel sad but this time I wanted it to end so terribly.I was eager to get back to our normal life and to face the problems that had accumulated while we were away although we already had a part solution for it. To be honest, the vacation had been a rollercoaster of emotions, from the argument with Nathan to the decision to reveal our truth to the world. I was ready to go back to New York and see what it held for me on my arrival."I'm going to miss this place Mummy" I heard Leo's voice come from the entrance of my room door and I turned to him"Come on in baby" I smiled, inviting him in. I was packing up the last box and I couldn't wait to finish it up. "You're going to miss Morocco hmm?" I poked his sides playfully and he laughed"Yes especially the camels, Abdul and Sahara""Oh, I would miss them too" I agreed because our camel riding has been so good before

Nathan's POVThe crowd of reporters was just the right amount that I needed, my personal assistant had done exactly what I told him to do.Everything I was doing was strategic. The responses, the smile and even down to the poses for the cameras. I knew that anyone watching would be in awe of how we were so confident and announcing our marriage by ourselves after keeping it a secret all these while"Why was this kept from the general public sir? As the CEO of Sterling company you know that the general public always wants to know what you're up to" another reporter shoved his mic in my face and I gave him a warning stare before taking the microphone from him "Well that's a question that I think my wife should be the one to answer" I turned to Rayne and she was already smiling, seeing that she understood what I was saying. The reporters wasted no time in pointing their mics in her direction"Please ma'am can you answer the question?""What was the question again?" Rayne asked, a smile p

Rayne's POVIt was the next morning after our arrival back to New York and the press meeting we held to announce our marriage to the public and the secret of me being Rayne Williams so I was going into the office today as Ryane and not Lila Adams. It was going to be awkward as hell I just knew it but I was going to make it clear to them that I was still the same person even though they knew me with another name.The drive to the office was slow. I had first of all dropped Leo off at school because he wanted to go so bad and see his friends. Something told me he really just wanted to talk about how the trip went for him and also talk their ear off with his unending talk about the camels and their potential children.I parked the car in my usual spot and got down. Nobody was in sight even when I got to the elevator but immediately the door opened at my office floor, it suddenly felt like everyone was there and I could feel the weight of everyone's gaze on me. I smiled at them all and m

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
