Rayne's Revenge 73 - exposure
Elliot's POVMy plan was progressing and I believed that very soon I would gain Rayne's trust fully.My plan was simple, get her to trust that I was on her side and then her everything possible I can get from her and maybe in a few years time, the perfect opportunity to overthrow her and her husband would arise. It was simple but it was going to take time because it was like all those things that you just couldn't rush because rushing them would not give you the best results and I wanted nothing but the absolute best result from this only if Zia would see my vision.I was driving down to the restaurant Rayne and I usually met up for me to tell her the new development about Zia's plans and I always told her only some parts and of the truth because in as much as I wanted to get rid of Zia, she was still the only one I could trust to a fault because I knew that sbe actually did love me and it was easy to manipulate her and get her to do things that I wanted her to do. I basically had her

Elliot's POVI watched her take a final sip of her drink, then make her way to stand up from her chair. I was too embarrassed to speak."Your plan was not as excellent as you thought it was, so I would suggest that you go back to the drawing board and draft out a new and more sensible plan," she was taking it too far now, and I was slowly getting physically angry."How did you find out all these?" I asked, wondering how she got to know about all my plans to a tee. Was there someone that was giving her information about me that was close to me? Because all she knew was things that only I and Zia were supposed to know about. Or was she spying on us now? I had a lot of questions, and I had to find some answers at least."How I found out should be the least of your concern. What you should be worried about is how you're going to be able to come up with a genius plan other than the rubbish you thought was good. And until then, I believe we have nothing to talk about," she picked up her han

Rayne's POVI knew for a fact that this fight between Elliot, Zia, and me was far from over, but just as that was clear, it was also evident that they would definitely need some time to get their act together and think of a better plan. I already knew it was going to be a dangerous one, especially because I knew that the mastermind was going to be none other than my sister. But until then, I intended to live life to the fullest with my family.I was on my way to the office for a board meeting. Nathan's company had invested in Rising Stars, just as he had announced to the general public he would do. Since then, we had been improving, to the extent that our top investors who had pulled away initially came back with an offer so big that even if I had rejected it, the company would still continue soaring high. But because I understood why they had decided to pull out in the first place, and how it was not their fault, I had accepted their offer, and we were business partners again.The co

Rayne's POVLunch with Jessica was fun as always while we discussed things that had been going on in our private lives and every now and then, a smile would appear on my face because it felt good to have someone apart from Nathan who I could open up to like this."He says he wants to take it further but honestly, I don't think I'm interested in doing that with him" she took a sip of her drink while I just stared at her in confusion "He isn't a bad guy and he is well to do so it's there a specific reason for your choice?" I asked but when she shrugged with no reply, I allowed the topic for because after all it was her choice and she was free to make any decision that she wanted to make in her life. We sat down in silence and enjoyed our meal. Even our silence together was enjoyable "How's the baby doing?" She asked after we had both cleared out plates and were waiting for the dessert we ordered to arrive"It's doing fine. Very fine at that so I believe that it's just proving my point

Rayne's POVWe were moving to Australia. A decision we had to make within 30 minutes and it was not a hard one per say because we had both always had a thing for the country we realized and also we were planning for our safety in the future since it was a given that Zia and Elliot were going to strike again and instead of making it easy for them to do that , we had to put up some form of resistance and relocating without telling anyone where we were going to was a part of it.Jess had been mad at me but not for long because she actually did understand why we were doing what we were doing but she just needed to throw a tantrum first before accepting it for what it was."Did you pack up all the kitchen utensils?" Nathan asked me from the room where he was selecting some books that he was taking with him"Yes I wrapped them up for Nana and her sister" I answered back. We were not taking anything from the house except our clothes and other personal things but as for the furnitures and app

Nathan's POV I was scared shitless. Rayne's water had just broken so the baby was on the way and I was a total wreck "Calm down honey, the water just broke and it will take the baby a while to come. We just need to get to the hospital" she told me and I felt stupid that she was the one calming me down when it was supposed to be the other way round."Okay, let me get the car keys okay? Leo look after your mom for a minute" I instructed before dashing into the bedroom to get the keys to the car. When I returned, Rayne was petting Leo's head while he rested on her stomach. I quickly went to reverse the car and then came back and started taking her into the car. I almost carried her into my arms On our way to the hospital, Rayne's contractions grew stronger and closer together and I could see the pain in her eyes, but she was trying to stay calm and was even playing a game with Leo at the back at each contraction."It kicked again!" Leo chuckled excited when his hand was hot with the

Rayne's POV The past few months of life had been the most peaceful and mundane I have ever had and I was the happiest I have ever been.Nathan and I worked from home and the project of expanding the company to other parts of the world was moving very fast that if we decided to stop working entirely and just monitor the company once in a while then we would still be well to do financially.Leo and his sister, Janet had a special bond that made me weak in the knees everytime I witnessed it. He always wanted to be around her and would always be the one that she listens to when she cries at night. I loved that he was growing into a caring man just like his father and speaking of growth, his 7th birthday was coming and we wanted to plan something small for him and his new friends at school but for some reason he was against it,"I don't think I want a birthday party Mummy" he said and if not that the table was quiet when he spoke, I wouldn't have heard him from how low his voice was. I gl

Rayne's POVI was shocked at the slap and just when I was about to query him for raising his hand at our child, Leo burst into tears and I immediately realized what he had done. He had realized that Leo was stuck in freeze mode and that slap was meant to pull him out of it and it had worked.Leo snuggled into my arms as he continued crying and I couldn't for the life of me, bear the pain that it brought me. Who had done this to my child? And just then as if she sensed that something was terribly wrong with her brother, Janet started wailing from where she had been sleeping in the room and I signalled to Nathan to go deal with her. The whole house was screaming chaos and I didn't know how to act because it had been long that I was surrounded by chaos and confusion.Nathan soon came back with a quiet Janet in his arms and by then Leo's cries had subsided and I brought him to sit on the sofa beside me. Nathan remained standing because of the baby."It's alright honey," I whispered into L

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
