Raine's POV Upon arriving home, I informed my husband that I would be working in my office and suggested he go to bed without me. I then put on my glasses and began tracing the IP address to identify the sender. My mansion's office computer had the necessary files for the task—yes, I am also a hacker. However, I only use these skills in specific situations and not for unlawful purposes in my business dealings. "I was right. That woman is the one who sent that anonymous email," I muttered. The email was sent from a desktop at EGBC, but what puzzles me is the timing—it was sent at eleven at night. I need to speak with her and hope that those three won't interfere or cause harm. "Oh boy!" I exclaimed. I urgently called someone to ensure the safety of an employee at her home. Shit! I can't believe I didn't think of that earlier! He picked up the call. "Hello, ma’am Raine? How can I assist you?" he inquired. After briefing him on the situation, I made sure he understood everything.
Kai's POVI turn around and notice that Raine is not with us. Romano looks at me and also realizes her absence. "Where did Secretary Annie go?" he asks.I just smile and reassure him, "Don't worry about her. She's always diligent at work. She probably went to the washroom for a moment," I replied.He opens the door for me and we enter. As he chats away, I pretend to listen, but it's been thirty minutes, and my wife still hasn't arrived.Romano stands up after checking the time and apologizes, "I'm sorry, Sir Aki. I'll go ahead. I have things to do and I'm sorry for bothering you too much."I force a smile and reply, "Don't worry about it. Keep working hard."He smiles and leaves my office. I immediately grab my phone and dial Raine's number. Why isn't she answering me? It's not even ringing!Then it hits me to search every corner of the office for wiretaps or hidden cameras. I recalled the message Walter sent me this morning, advising me on how to check for potential spies.After wait
Raine's POVI have some information about the person that the woman was discussing. I quickly grab my phone and show her the email. Glancing at her ID, I realize that she’s one of the interns named Alyssa Cruz."Please! I was the one who sent that email because I want to protect my sister from those…" she paused, tears welling up in her eyes.I search for a handkerchief, but I don’t have one. My husband opens the glove box and hands me a tissue. I pass it to her and she continues crying uncontrollably.It seems like she knows about the difficulties her sister faced while working here. "Share the details when you feel ready to talk," I say.Secretly, I turn on the camera on my phone. The necklace I was wearing had a nanocamera. I asked Macey to get one of these from El Greco Tech Enterprise. This will record our conversation.After a few minutes, she started to calm down. “What happened, Alyssa?” I inquire. She nervously fidgets with her fingers, showing her reluctance to answer my que
Kai's POVMy heart is racing and my body feels warm. I'm becoming more sensitive to everything, especially Raine's warmth, scent, and touch, which arouse me.Damn that air purifier! She looks incredibly sexy when she makes that 'shh' gesture. Pushing me against the counter, she stands in front of me and sighs."This will be quick," she whispers. I close my eyes as she puts up her hair. I know what she's about to do. My wife unbuckles my belt and unzips my pants. She realizes how stiff I am."You don't have to do this if you're uncomfortable and—ahh!" I moan, covering my lips to control the sound.This familiar warmth and touch, she's the best at giving me head. I look at her as she licks my cock down to my balls. Her fingertips caress the dimple of my penis. Her expression is so sexy that I can't take my eyes off her. I grab her head and meet her eyes."I'm sorry, Raine. I want more," I said, as I pushed into her mouth.I could feel myself reaching the back of her throat, and it felt
Raine's POVAs I woke up, I realized that Kai wasn't by my side. I got up and yawned, feeling bad because he had to carry me inside the car, where I fell asleep. I know I'm quite heavy.After getting up, I decided to wash my face, as I can't sleep wearing my makeup. I noticed that the sheets of our bed were all white, and I knew I would only create problems for our maids.As I was walking towards the bathroom, I heard Kai's voice from the balcony. I was about to approach him when I was taken aback by what I heard.Kai responded to the caller, "We need to ensure that our plans proceed without any hitches. Failure is not an option. I married Raine El Greco to conceal my identity and ensure that everything goes according to our wishes. If we have to resort to underhanded tactics, then so be it. I am unconcerned with anything else."I covered my lips and concealed myself against the wall. I was relieved that he didn't notice or hear my footsteps. What is he talking about?I pull back the
Kai's POVI was taken aback by her behavior last night and it continues to surprise me. It seems like she's afraid of me, as she startles and becomes jumpy whenever I try to touch her, which I didn't anticipate.Feeling offended, I had no choice but to leave the car. I thought I wouldn't be affected, especially when Walter teased me about my wife.He claimed to have seen me with Raine while secretly protecting Allison at EGBC. My cousin mentioned that I looked at her the way a man looks at a woman he loves.I denied it and even lied about divorcing Raine in the end. As soon as we entered the building, the employees in the lobby bowed their heads.I knew they were here and I was worried because of the police that had arrived. They greeted her, "Greetings to chairwoman Raine!"She then addressed everyone, instructing them to turn on all the television screens to watch her announcement. "Good morning, everyone. Just watch for my announcement," Raine said."Understood, chairwoman," they a
Raine's POVI still feel afraid, but I need to find the courage to face him without fear. I want to be able to smile at him without any hint of trembling in my spine.I think carefully before responding. "You have the potential to be a CEO, Kai Montefalcon, rather than just an actor or an idol," I said firmly, despite his blank expression. I have to play my part perfectly. I have to do it.."Macey may seem intimidating, but she can assist you. I'm flying to London tomorrow to take care of some matters on my farm. I'll be in London for three days and then in Columbia for two days. I'll return in six days and I hope to hear good news from you despite today's chaos," I remark and smile.I walk away and draw back the curtain, gazing at the skyscrapers ahead. This era seems so familiar to me. I feel like nothing really changes on this year except for my identity and surname.Kai sighed as he sat on the edge of the table. "If that's what you want, then good luck with your trip abroad. I'll
Kai's POVI had a tiring day and I just want to drown my sorrows in a drink. My two cousins, who are siblings, looked at me with surprise."Did something happen at work, George?" Walter inquired.George took a sip of his whiskey and let out a deep sigh. "Just a case of lovesickness. Let's drink with him. He needs to pass out, or else we'll be the first ones to fall asleep," George remarked.Walter sighed and poured another shot of whiskey into my glass. I downed it as if it were just water. "Lovesick? Me? Did you forget who I am, George? Hah!" I scoffed at what I had heard.I threw the glass again, and George handed me another one. I signaled to Walter to pour another shot. "Looks like my little brother was right. You're clearly showing signs," Walter said.I slouch on the couch and fold my arms, letting out a laugh. “She should’ve called me back! I ignored her call once, but it's been seven hours and she still hasn't called again! That woman!” I vented. I feel incredibly frustrated r
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
