I'm sorry for those who read my book. My updates had been on hold because some of my chapters had been in review. Thanks to my editor, I can upload my next chapters. Thank you for understanding.
Raine's POVI can tell by his expression that she will go to any lengths to talk to Kai and convince him to return to Harper Entertainment. Kai playfully teases me, asking if I'm afraid of her.I roll my eyes and take the hairdryer from his hand, starting to dry my hair. As I do, I can't help but remember what he did.He embraces me strangely, and I sense his anxiety. It's as if he's worried about something but doesn't want me to know.I believe he was concerned that Emma would continue sending men to harm me. I understand where he's coming from because Kai knows what kind of woman she is.Emma will stop at nothing to win him back. I still don't understand why Kai took his own life. The rumor alone doesn't seem like enough reason for such a drastic action.I think it's necessary for me to investigate his background, especially the secrets he may have kept. I have a feeling that he may have been murdered, and the incident made to look like suicide.What if those rumors were spread to h
Kai's POVI was taken aback when Raine emerged from the adjacent table. Does she know that Emma was following us? Emma glared at her, but Raine is never intimidated. She's the type of person who can make you feel worthless and insignificant."I've already warned you. I despise those who try to claim what is rightfully mine. Listen to me before you find yourself begging on your knees."Emma suddenly grabbed a chopstick, but Raine swiftly grabbed her wrist and twisted it forward, turning the chopstick into a threat against Emma."You're a despicable person. I will ruin your life. I know the truth, and I will expose you to the world! Your reputation and business will be destroyed. I will make sure you suffer!" Emma growled in a controlled manner.Neither of them noticed the other customers amidst the chaos. My wife took the chopstick and pinned Emma's hand to the table, while pointing the other end towards our enemy's eyes. Emma turned pale."I'm curious what will happen if you lose your
Raine's POVWhen he approached him, I noticed that woman. I slip away, and with the aid of my bodyguards, no one notices my presence.I was not shocked when my husband expressed such a response, and experience what the girl named Sheena did to him.That doesn't prove that he has no experience or never had flings. He's still a guy, and he can flirt without exerting too much effort. The girls will always come to him on their own free will.He grabs my neck and then bites me. I rubbed my neck and stared at him. "Hey! That will leave a mark!" I remarked.I was going to look in the mirror when he grabbed my waist and drew me closer to him. I know I'm blushing, but I enjoyed the relentless flirtation.Kai sniffed my nape and kissed my skin lightly. Oh, no! My heart was racing so quickly, and my stomach was filled with butterflies. I want to stop him, but I also don't want to.Right now, my
Raine's POVI kick Gilbert’s feet underneath the table and give him warning glances. “Don’t try to mess up my night, Gilbert. I am here for my husband and if you don’t leave the table right away, I’ll call the guards and I’ll make sure you and your parents leave this event,” I warned. He looks into my eyes and I know he saw how seriously mad I was. He scoffs.“Be thankful that I respect Raine or else I’ll punch you right here and then, George,” he warns. Gorge sighs and we just watch Gilbert as he leaves our table.My eyes meet Gil Harper’s eyes. He’s glaring at me as if he’ll kill me. I showed him that I’m not intimidated and looked away.The interviewer on the red carpet appears on the stage. It looks like he’s also the emcee of tonight’s fashion show. I take my seat properly and wait for any announcements fr
Kai's POVI was taken aback by her actions and how I allowed my emotions to overwhelm me. I was unprepared for the loss of my composure, and I was also caught off guard by the auction.My wife assured me that the contract was secure, but now I have doubts. She sighed and gazed at me, asking, "What do you truly want to do?" Raine's question left me with a puzzled expression.Why was she asking me this? Did I even have a choice after signing the contract? Was she joking with me?She directed her words at the designer and CEO of DCJ, saying, "Is this how your business flourishes? Quite intriguing, isn't it?" Raine was clearly taunting Rosaline.Once again, my wife looked at me with confidence on her face. "Honey, are you sure you want to do this? It's up to you. I'll respect whatever you choose," Raine assured me.She wasn't joking, and yet my pride was wounded. She arrives and asserts her authority in front of everyone, then expects me to make my own decision? Seriously!Then she sudden
Raine's POVI am aware that he was upset and had mixed feelings about my actions, but I will explain everything to him when the time is right.I don't understand why I was given the opportunity to come back and alter his destiny, but perhaps someone heard the wish I made before losing consciousness. I let out a sigh and took a seat."I know you must be wondering why I did what I did, but I am doing it for you. I will explain everything when the time is right. I promise, Kai." I gazed at her and gently pinned her down on the couch.I rested my head on her chest without making any further movements. All I wanted was to feel her warmth. Being with her made me feel safe and comforted.She ran her fingers through my hair and embraced me in return. Raine didn't ask any questions, as if she was giving me time to recharge."I want to go back to our room and leave this place as early as tomorrow," he whispered. I simply tapped his shoulder and let out a sigh."I understand the situation. You'v
Kai's POVI was determined to know if she was genuinely considering having a sexual relationship with me and becoming pregnant with my child. I observed that she may be bold, but she puts up a barrier between us.This is why I have doubts about her true intentions for helping me. This pushed me to ask further, but she always manages to avoid the issue. I let out a soft laugh."Well, in order to hold up my end of our agreement, don't tell me you've forgotten why you proposed marriage to me, Ms. El Greco," I murmured in her ear.She gasped and covered her mouth right away, which I found endearing. "I'm curious why you're reacting like this when we should be fulfilling our agreement, shouldn't we?" I continued.She was about to get up when I stopped her and looked at her kindly. I chuckled. "Are you trying to tell me that you were not truthful when you said you wanted an heir and chose me for convenience?" I added. Raine turn pale and I could see the determination in her face.She snaps
Raine's POVI feared that my actions would cause a divide between us. I tried to convince myself not to become attached to the situation, but I couldn't resist. My heart and mind wanted to hold on to him.I felt helpless. He suddenly turned his face towards my neck and sniffed me, making my heart race. As he moved his hand inside my lingerie, I instinctively covered my mouth with the back of my hand.His huge hand knew exactly how to elicit a woman's moan. When he pinched my nipple, I was surprised by the indescribably delicious pleasure."You chose this, so you have to deal with it," he whispered in my ear.I looked at him and saw how surprised he was. I know he saw the expression I had a while ago. It was overwhelming for me.He smiled and began to lick my ear, which also felt good. "Kai... wait," I moaned, but he didn't listen. My husband silenced me with a kiss and continued to caress my body.'Are we going to do it? Kai… I want to be more than just your wife but if you learned th
Raine's POVI think Demi sent someone to watch our backs. If she thinks that I’m stupid, I won’t suspect her. She’s wrong. There’s no way that I’ll let her do as she wishes.I’ll show her who I am as well. "It means that she’s aware that Emma was your stalker," I replied.I might be checking my emails, but part of my eye was staring at this woman. Demi laugh. "Your keen senses will only bring you trouble, Missy," she says.I gave my phone to my husband. I didn’t lock it yet. "Here," I stated."Can I check it out?" he asks. I nodded."No problem. You’ll only see your nude pictures there," I tease.His cheeks turn red. He really checks my gallery. I laugh. "Honey, those are for my eyes only. There’s no way I’ll take one. Na-ah," I said, moving my index finger from left to right."Ahem!" Demi coughs.I look at her and smirk. "Oh, you’re
Kai's POVI just took a four-hour nap and asked George to drive us home at exactly four in the morning. I just arrived, and I can’t help but watch my wife as she sleeps cutely."I got in here ten minutes ago. I really want to see you, so... here I am," I replied. She rolled her eyes and pinched my cheeks."Welcome home, Kai…" she says, smiling widely."I’m home, honey," I replied.She grabbed my wrist and pulled me up. I lost my balance and landed on her. I was about to roll over when she wraps her hands and legs around me."You are better than a bolster or a pillow," she says. She even sniffs me like a puppy.I rolled over and am now on top. I pat her butte and unwrap her legs and arms around me. "Go to sleep. I’ll make us something for breakfast. I’ll wake you up later," she says. I shake my head and wrap my hands around her."Stay here with me. Let’s grab some brunch outs
Raine's POVI know where he's coming from. We both remember my health history, and he’s afraid that I'll have the same illness here.I do feel the same way, and that’s the reason why I’ll be using Raine's money to make sure I'll have a longer life and be with Kai until my hair turns gray.I stand up and notice that I don’t have any IVs on me. I guess the nurses notice it and take it off themselves. I went to him and sat beside him. I wrap my quilt around him. I look at his laptop."Look who is overexerting himself."I closed his laptop and put it back in his bag. I look at my husband’s sleeping face. I chuckled. "You are indeed a celebrity, my love. You're too beautiful for me," I murmur.I raise my hand and touch his hair. He's pouting a little when he is sleeping soundly. I guess he stayed too late last night, and he just got his proper sleep.I better speak with the nurses. I was about
Kai's POVI was running down the hallway after the nurse told me which room it was. Macey told me that Raine was admitted to the hospital, and it horrified me.I opened the door and looked at the bed. "Raine! Are you okay?!" I ask. I held her hand and noticed how pale she was. She smiled."Don't worry. I'm fine. They said it’s just stress and fatigue. I'm also having a hard time with my sleeping habits," she reported.I look at Macey. She nods and seems to agree with what her boss says. I hope that they’re not lying to me."You need to take a breath. I will take care of the things you need to know for next week. I have no appointments or photoshoots for that week. You must rest properly, understand?" I remarked. She laughed but nodded. I’m glad she didn’t argue with my suggestion.A nurse came in and checked her vital signs. "Nurse, I want to suggest an overall check-up for my wife. I have to make sure that she’s not ill or whatever it is," I said.She nods and looks away. I know she
Raine's POVI gasped and got up in bed. I groan when everything turns black. This is a consequence of waking up in the middle of the night. I look at the man beside me."Ugh. What the heck? I dozed off completely!" I whimper. I heard my husband moan.He opens his eyes and looks at me with such sexy glances. "I apologize if I ended up sleeping last night. I was just tired and stressed from all the reports that I received from the technical team," I explained.Kai raised his hand and caressed my cheek. "It's okay, love. We still have so many nights and days to make love with one another," he says. That made me blush.How inconsiderate I was! "I will make it up for you tonight, I promise, my love," I whispered. He shook his head and smiled."Just take the rest that you deserve. You are my partner, not my sexual pet. Hugging and kissing you will be enough for me, Raine," he whispered. That melts my heart.I knew from the very start that my husband was considerate and loving. "Let's have a
Kai's POVI guess she is indeed planning to cause a stir in our lives. I’m sure my evil stepmother was aware that the child of the couple she killed was my wife, her stepson.I look at Raine. "Answer her. Don’t worry about me. Put it in the speakerphone. I want to hear her voice," Raine says. I nodded and followed her instructions. I swipe the answer button and wait for 3 seconds."Hello? I thought you had died already," I stated.All we heard was her wicked laughter. I showed this woman what kind of hatred my parallel self had for her. "Why? Do you really think I died with your dad? Oh, please," he stated. My jaw clenched.My dad and mother died together because they got back together after my dad divorced Demi, my evil stepmother.They only got married for three years, but those years were nothing but hell for me. I’m just glad that my cousin’s dad wakes my father from his stupid slumber. He finally saw Demi’s true colors."I wish you were. You deserve to die early, but I guess the
Raine's POVI saw how confused Kai was. I laugh. I just want to tease him but there’s another meaning for it."I love you so much that I can sacrifice any luck in my life in order to love you in every dimension," he replied.I was surprised by what he said. He said those words with a straightforward expression on his face.He cupped my face and lifted it up a little. He gives me a sweet kiss. "I will always find you, no matter where you are, Raine. No matter what surname you’ll be using, I promise you that," Kai added.My heart sank because of joy. I can’t believe he answered my question flawlessly. I smiled. I wrap my hands around his neck. I softly brush his nape, where the end of his hair lies.I kissed him several times until he claimed it was a torrid one. I moan and respond to his kiss wildly. I love him and that is an inevitable truth.No matter where we are, I’ll only love a single man. That’s Kai Montefalcon. We both laughed because of our cheesiness after that long kiss. We
Raine's POVI told Macey that I wanted to see my husband after she gave me a certain clue that I didn’t expect. Macey says that a woman is the one who sent his dad to kill my parents.She also gives me a clue. Her dad saw a tattoo on the woman’s right boob. He says that she’s wearing a bra that exposes her boobs and when she bends over while giving the payment to Macey’s dad, he sees a certain tattoo.I suddenly remember that Kai in our world had a stepmother who caused his downfall as well. "What kind of scary truth is that?" Kai says. I tap my right side, telling him to take a seat beside me. He was confused but followed my order."Remember your evil stepmother, Demi? She has a tattoo on her right boob, am I correct? What kind of tattoo is that again?"His face turned sour when he heard Demi’s name. His jaw clenched. My husband really hates her. "Why did you remember her? I was relieved she’s not around in this world."I sighed and decided to tell him what Macey told me. "She said t
Kai's POVI jump off the couch after my cousin locks the door to my dressing room. I have a 30-minute break for my mini-concert and fan meeting. It's already day 3 and as soon as my last show ends tomorrow, I'll run home."If you can only see your face, you’re fucking in love, dude. I never thought I'd see you as restless as this," George teases. I take off my coat and sigh."Four days was fucking long. How can she feel at ease while I’m missing her so much?" I commented. He burst into laughter.I glared at my cousin and he cleared his throat, stopping himself from laughing. Damn! "You're not in love yet and that’s the reason why you’re clueless about these feelings. I’ll laugh at you when you do. I’ll make sure of that," I remarked.His eyes dilated and he suddenly stood up from sitting on the couch. Wait a second! He is staring behind me. Don’t tell me Emma stalked me here?! That woman!A slender arm and a familiar scent register in my head. A soft kiss landed on my cheek. "I guess
