RAYNA.We had indeed gotten a room; the night was sweet. I couldn’t tell yet if it was all acting, but I loved the new Carlos except that he didn’t talk much.The next morning, I woke up in Carlos's arms, he was already awake, watching me. It was the first time he would wake up before me. My head was a bit light, and I wasn’t feeling so well. Maybe it was the place. I want to go home.“Are you okay?” Carlos asked, he had probably noticed the change in my countenance. I wondered if telling him about his father’s house made me feel sick.“Can we go home this morning?” I asked instead.“You want to go home now?” He asked as his fingers brushed a hair that had strayed to my face and was covering my eyes. My hair on my head didn’t feel blue, to be honest, I still felt like a blonde but seeing it on my face reminded me they were blue. Maybe I’ll keep it that way, being a blonde was said to be tiring, although I didn’t see what was tiring about having any color of hair.“Yes, I want to go ba
“Rayna. Would you please have dinner with me?” Carlos had the look of a man whose patience was being tried.“No,” I replied blankly.“What the hell is wrong with you?” He was losing his cool.“What the hell is wrong with you?” I asked back but didn’t wait for an answer before turning to Zade. “What’s for breakfast.”Coco left angrily, deciding to not include herself in our business but also didn’t give us food. Instead, Zade ordered us Chicken, chips, and cheese which we ate together with Zane, Carlos had disappeared to God knows where and I didn’t care.I’ve been without a phone for a very long time, so I didn’t care for a new phone, instead I wanted to go out.“Is there a cinema nearby?” I asked Zade as I swallowed my last chicken.Zane replied instead. “Yup, I intend to go to one this evening, Rainbow is going to be in the cinema for the first time.“Can I go with you?” I asked in a sweet voice.“No, you can’t.” His voice was sarcastically as sweet as mine.“I hate you.”“I don’t c
Tickets for the movie could be gotten online so I had Zade put me through and ended up purchasing 3 tickets. (It was good to hear that anything I bought with my phone was being paid for by Carlos). I didn’t know how but my phone was linked to his money in a way. The only disadvantage to that was I could not buy anything behind his knowledge.Another good thing was that I had lots of clothes that suited such outings in my closet. I’m sure the maids in charge of moving my clothes would hate me by now, I’ve had them move my clothes from one room to another more than 4 times.“How do I look?” I presented myself to Coco and did a 360-degree turn so she could get a full view of me.“Go ask your husband.” She replied curtly.“Why are you mad at me, you’ve been angry all morning.” I moved close to her; it was the first time she maintained an angry face at me. I had made her angry before, but she was never angry for long.She gave a deep sigh. “I’m not angry with you Child.”“So, what’s wrong?
Today was the worst day so far, I think I’m going to be sick, or maybe I’m already sick but for now, I just didn’t feel like getting out of bed. Sleeping alone had lost its savor but I was too proud to go back to Carlos's room, I also felt the maids were one step away from hating me with all their hearts. Especially Victoria.“Good morning. It’s time you have your bath.” She stood at the edge of the bed with her nose in the air. I could tell she didn’t like us, not like it was her fault. I had deceived her twice. One more time wouldn’t hurt.“What are you doing here?” I murmured, closing my eyes. I just didn’t feel like getting out of bed.“Coco sent me.” I could feel her rolling her eyes as she spoke. “You have to bathe now.”I let out a long yawn, opening my eyes and then closing it again. Today should be tagged a lazy day.“When did you start keeping a record of when and if I bathed.” She had ruined my sleep but I hadn’t planned to raise my voice at her, not that I was going to apo
Carlos rushed to me immediately. He laid a hand on my forehead and his eyes widened. I even felt hot, it seemed like my temperature had accelerated within a minute and my insides suddenly felt uncomfortable.“How do you feel?” He asked and at the same time, he was calling the doctor. He carried me in his arms like I was a baby and all I could think of was how good it felt, why did I have to be in a form of danger or sickness before I could get any form of pampering from Carlos? It just wasn’t fair.I took a deep breath, could feel myself getting weaker by the minute. I was fine, or I thought I was fine and suddenly I was weak.“I’m a bit weak, just dizzy, and tired. I’ll be fine.” I tried to act strong and okay. Maybe it was just the wind. Thinking about it, I had been feeling slightly dizzy for days now, but I didn’t think it was anything serious.The doctor came and Carlos helped me to a bed. The doctor checked my temperature, and it seemed like I had a fever because my temperature
CARLOS“I’d like to hear the good news first,” Rayna said immediately. I guessed at this point she would like to live in denial, the worst it would be was that Rayna had a terminal disease and she would rather not hear it because her next words were, “I don’t want to hear the bad news, you can tell him later, when I am not here, or in your office. I just don’t want to hear it.”“You have to know what’s happening in your body.” The doctor replied patiently.“Am I going to die?” She asked outrightly, I couldn’t stop the gasp that escaped me when she mentioned death. It all died down to this woman not knowing what she meant to me.The doctor gave a pause before answering, “No.”“Calm down Rayna. Please don’t mention death, no one is dying.” I warned. I turned to the doctor, unsure of what to do.“Let us talk in the office.” I closed the soup and packed it away, “I’ll be back.” I said to Rayna, tucking a stray hair behind her ears. I was getting used to the look on her new hair, but she l
CARLOSHis nose took a hit but this time it was from my boots.I held him by the neck, “Guess what? She’s no longer yours to sell or do whatever you want with. Rayna is mine now.”Blueblood had the guts to burst into laughter, which I stopped by tightening my hand on his throat.“You’re not thinking of marrying her, are you?” he squeezed out. Surprise was etched all over his face like he couldn’t believe someone would marry his daughter.I stood up and cleaned my hands as Zane came. He pulled Blueblood up a chair and gave him the papers. My intentions weren’t to kill Blueblood or burst his eyes, I had better plans.“Sign it,” I ordered.The man was sure smart because he opened it and scanned through. There was a time I could beat anyone to doing anything I wanted but I had learned over time that people might be afraid of me, but they respected the law, since then I had learned to go through procedures to prevent my past from blowing up in my face.“You sure are serious about Rayna.” H
RAYNA“You sure you don’t have the flu too?” I asked Victoria. She looked pale and unhappy. It was the second day I got back from the hospital, something had felt fishy but in the end, all I had was flu, I was given some drugs that was all. Carlos also told me about a Doctor Cross that would be coming to check on me regularly but so far I had not seen him yet.When Victoria didn’t reply to me with a sassy tongue like she always did, I knew something was wrong. I didn’t like how she ignored me, and I always loved exchanging words with her, another maid would rather not meet my eyes.“You know you can tell me what’s wrong right?” I encouraged, them to an extent, I now saw her as a friend, she was the only female in my age range around. “C’mon, you want a vacation? Are you sick? Tell me.” She ignored me as she tucked the end of the bed and made to leave the room. I blocked the door.“You either tell me what’s up or push me out of the way.” Looks like being adamant was the only way, she w
