The Alpha’s Lottery Wife 71
RAINI The days blurred slowly and gave way to the night, I was still getting used to the serenity this new place I found myself that looked to be almost perfect.There appeared to be something quite perfect about this place that I couldn't place my fingers about from the concrete ceilings. Concrete walls. Concrete floors—That were engraved with what looked to be the head of a wolf to other things around the house.He took time helping with the stitches and running his fingers along my back as he made to ease the pain that had accumulated over the time that I had been there.Zavier popped two tablets into my hands asking to have adequate rest before walking out of the door again.When he was gone, I walked to the phone at the bedside and thought about ringing River. She had been on my mind all this while and I couldn't wait to reach out to her.The number rang twice, but no one answered…It got me worried for a while and just when I decided to call one more time and give up she picked

ZAVIERLove for me had been different.It is said that once you set foot into that hazy, carnal corner of the world, you couldn’t go back.What happens when you step foot into aingenious part that had to do with love.My problem came in two: First was having to deal with my feelings and the other with the small fact that I was losing my mind.With the sun grazing down on my skin while talking with the Sheriff — I looked up to find her by the window of my room.In a way that I found quite comical Raini dodges but not before I knew it was her.I could have almost squealed her name, if I wasn't discussing something very important at that moment with a guest.Stiil, I couldn't help but be amused about how she had hid herself behind the curtains hiding from me and for some reason I couldn't help it other than to think about her as a fascinating creature.Moments later, I was standing at the same spot she had been just moments ago as the room was still filled with the scent of her in a wa

RAINIAsk me again in a week…Realizing it now, that word felt like I was keeping a man as prominent and influential as Zavier Wood on the hook—Who does that?The click of my heels made a squeaky noise as I made way to my room with my mind heavy with the thought of how the evening had gone…Not so bad actually.My heartbeat and I replayed each moment in deep reverberation against my deep in my mind and soul—against my rib cages, it was not like I cared too much about the most recent incident it just left me a bit unsettled.It had only been days since I arrived here and as I was standing in Front of the mirror wiping my make-up off my mind was filled with the same thing as each night. Uncertainty.The uncertainty I felt was the same, but something was different now. The ache inmy heart from frequent nightmares was replaced by a thought of him that filled every available space left prior dark.I could feel it—him—everywhere, and he wasn’t even here. As I slipped off my dress and walk

RAINII could swear to myself that I heard my heart racing as it tried to beat it way out of me as if that was possible.He was the only one that said my name that way or rather he was the only one capable of doing that.Everything came to a total pause at the minute leaving only two functional things..three if I counted Zavier, myself and my raging heart.Was this proper?With no other options I stood right at the spot where I was frozen while the world spinned round."Sorry, there is something I have to do." I heard him say over the phone as he made his way toward where I was with a smile on his face."Hey, been looking around for you all day" He says as he approaches where I was standing.A part of me wanted to just leave the place I was, too bad I already lost the chance to do that.He was so close now, so close that his scent was everywhere leaving me intoxicated by his presence."Why do I have this feeling you are avoiding me?" He asked with a smirk on his face.I rolled my ey

RAININothing else filled the room than emptiness and silence —The two took over every space around the quarters of the room and before I could realize it, I could feel it colonizing my mind as well.In fact, the quiet seemed to eat at me theThe entire time, despite having River over, I looked to be having a very difficult time expressing myself as the events of today hit me like so heavy in my heart, leaving a numbness behind.Still unable to decide what I wanted and with Zavier's offer for me to stay still on the table I was left with so many thoughts of what I truly wanted.There looked to be a feeling of panic, as I didn't want to make a quick decision as ky would definitely change the course of how things were going to be from hence.The fact he was still here with me at close proximity was driving me insane.It was as though my body was hyper aware of his presence, so much that it was putting me under so much pressure.In a way all I was doing by keeping his offer hanging was

ZAVIER Two voices, both women. One dominant and the other concerned, I must have missed the beginning of the whole discussion but I could quite decipher what they were talking about because they had called my name in the process.They spoke fluently in a voice I didn't really need to strain before I could hear and like it was said when two women are locked together In a room behind closed doors except gossip.I had been standing in front of the door, almost knocking when I heard footsteps coming from the other end.Bianca! I thought to myself as I could perceive her scent.After the conversation I had with her about giving Raini time to come around before I make a move, she would most definitely have my head if she finds me there.I adjusted my glasses, scrutinizing the whole atmosphere for a place to hide as I didn't want her to come into quick conclusions.I had only been a few feet away from Bianca who was standing right there at the door knocking and for some reason I had decid

ZAVIERI Stood there for a long minute, shocked that was actually right here at this moment as she was totally the last person I was expecting to see, not at a te like this least…not a te when I was moaning what would be her leaving."Why- What are you doing here? It is still quite early?" I asked.She didn't give a reply, just looked at me still with that same eye looking all scared and all.Unease drifted through my nerves and it burnt right through it, maybe a few hours ago—When I had not really heard what she had said I might have reacted differently. But standing there and having her watch me with what I would now call deceitful eyes, all that was left in me were a lot of controversial questions: Starting with, What the hell was she looking for here?It was so quiet, so quiet that all I could hear was the sound of that still – dark early morning.I could hear my heart beating in my own heart or was it her's?I took another step back as if to get some footing, but it was mostly

RAINI POVThe night started with a finger of whiskey and a dare that led me to his door.Bianca had insisted on taking us all out to the local pub, for me it was a moment, to let go of everything and forget partially about Zavier.It started from taking one shot as soon as we were all drunk as we made our way back to the apartment with a bottle.As it turned out the drink did nothing to get my mind off him, rather I found myself tossing and turning, till it had to this moment, a moment that had Zavier and myself in the same breathing space.River had asked one question while we played Truth or dare…It had been a simple question but up until this moment I had in no Way felt the essence of the question.What would you do if Zavier was here?Much as the answer to my question about loving him had been null, I couldn't tell that I was intensely sexually attracted to him and it was not a matter of being drunk.Without thinking too much about it, I found my way to his door knocking quietl

RAINIZavier looked at me for a minute, and it was as though he didn't believe what I just said about killing Trinity.For some reason I couldn't get over the fact that the dandelion mystery was back, in a way that looked most frustrating. Zavier had found the dandelion and came back with it, I could tell that the same person had been after me all this while.All concerns that it had been Giselle were far off from my memory since she had faced the same fate when she was found murdered in her home.Keeping all fingers crossed we had to wait just as he had said there was nothing we could do, then wait out all of this till it was over.All this would have been possible if I didn't get the anonymous call.I turned to look at Zavier who was sleeping and walked away to the bathroom to pick, perhaps I could tell what he was going to say if he listened or I wasn't sure if I could trust him enough just yet ."Hello?" I asked, filled with uncertainty."Hello." River voice came back trembling.I

ZAVIERWe spoke to the detective for more than twenty minutes giving him everything that was needed to find River, for me it wasike going through this ordeals again, the first time had been when I had to deal with Raini getting kidnapped and this was the second.Like the detective had told Bianca and myself there was definitely an insider there was no sign of anyone breaking into her apartment.Raini was obviously tired and perhaps hitting her second trimester was starting to weigh in on her as she was asleep as we walked down the hallway to her room.She was right there still asleep in her bed. I walked into her bedroom and sat in a chair close to the window near the bed.With the whole feeling complicated Iclosed my eyes and just took a moment formyself, taking in much breath as much as I could whole reflecting back on the entire situation.I haven’t had too many of these moments in the last few days, moments where I had to reflect on everything that was happening, the truth was

IRENEIt was still hard to take in and at the moment, my mind was racing at the moment.It was clearly on the wall, I couldn't miss it, not after how long I had stayed there with them. At that moment my mind was In a total mess.I stood right there with my head against his shoulder crying, perhaps if I had come in here a bit quicker I would have been able to save my sister.What I couldn't understand was why they had taken her."What did River say when she called?" He asked.I sniffed.With a shaky breath, I began to tell him about how she had called and why she had left in the first place.I explained why I didn't call him before leaving and everything from how I had felt angry when I got here and found nothing but the house in total mess.There was a lot to talk about and he listened to every bit of it. All I wanted to do was get rid of everything in my chest and get everything out in the open. I didn't hold anything back from him as I felt weak …Too weak." Why did they take her?"

IRENEI drove out of the car park as quickly as I could all that filled my mind while driving past the oak trees that surrounded the thick wood shrouding Zavier's home was the safety for my sister, the thought was heavy on my mind as the more I thought about it, the harder it was for me to comprehend.At the back of my mind was the question asking why she had spoken in such a haste, there was a sound of silence before ending the call and despite trying to get her it was certainly difficult to.I thought about calling Zavier but opted against it in my mind as I continued with my trip…The speed I was driving at was so much that it took the thought of the twins I was carrying to make us reduce the speed.As I drove out of the gates and as I did,II spent the next few hours trying to purge Zavier out of my mind, so I replaced it with other thoughts.Or at least my thought was replaced by the thought of my sister River.I purposely looked at my phone again,keeping her call on redial w

ZAVIER.“Stupid move today, man.” Bianca said to me as she sat on my office couch while looking at my face.She was looking at me,in a manner that seemed so complicated."Where did you say she went to again?" I asked since she was the only one that had been with her all this while.I flicked a glance toward her since she had been the only one with her when she had gone out.We were having a good conversation about how my time with Raini had gone.I rubbed a hand across my smile. “I just assumed that she would want to talk to me after what she did."“You assumed wrong,” she said dryly. “She is a woman, she doesn't care about all of this.""You all are complicated." I said, rolling my eyes.Bianca looked at me laughing "With all the shit you’ve done, and the fact that you lied it would be hard for her to trust you again."I sank a little further into the couch.“Everything I do is premeditated. I think about it —You don't expect that I will not tell her about all of this" I said look

RAINITwo quiet knocks sounded on the door, and I walked toward the door to get it opened.From the conversation I had with Bianca it was obvious I had to talk with him. I had been thinking about going to his room but didn't really have the confidence just before the knock came in.When I saw it was Zavier standing on the other side, I stood straighter at the doorway looking into his eyes.With his hair combed back, in a casual shirt and Jean, his countenance appeared welcoming and breathtaking at the same time.His eyes held my stare as I looked at him, in a way it looked as though it was filledwith cold resonance—perhaps he was still angry about what I had said earlier."Are you busy?" He asked."Yeah, not doing anything now." .Every synapses in my body raced as I stood back and watched him as he walked in.My eyes widened on him. As he walked Into the room making way to the window,he stood right there and looked out of the window.Shutting the door, I sighed deeply as I walke

RAINIBianca wasn't the first to warn me about the woman and now that it made two people tell me, it felt like the universe was screaming out something and I would be a fool not to listen.Trinity made her way back. There was an exchange between the two women as it looked as though she had heard something that was being saidIt looked not too certain that she must have heard her as if in a kind of distance."I have to leave, there is something I have to do."I merely nodded my head as I thought it was better she did before any altercations started up.I never expected that they would get along, Trinity never got along with anyone except me and I guessed it had something to do with me seeing the best in people.I walked with her to the door and after closing it behind her, I turned and smirked at Bianca."What?" She shrugged. "I am just telling you the truth. " You should really look into that girl."I sighed and fell back in my seat. I’d been excited about having her over but it look

RAINI-Everything was building up inside of me and I didn’t know the best way to make myself feel better than to cry.I felt so disappointed in myself for not being as strong as I thought I should be but there was nothing I could do.I wanted the best for my children and the fear that something might happen to them made me lose faith IN myself.I started sobbing, sitting up on the bed because the tears were not just coming, I felt Indulged and very weak to have to break down because of something like this.This wasn’t minor, this was my unborn kids and I was already failing as a mother and even before they were born.Just then I heard a knock on the door interrupting me and I immediately wiped off my tears.I wondered if my tears woke up someone but I didn’t think I was sobbing that loud.“It’s me bianca, I know you’re awake, Raini opens the door.” She said gently from the other side of the door.I stood up and walked over to the door and opened the door for her and she walked in.“Co

RAINI“Is there anything you can do to help me make sure they will be safe?” I asked in a shaky voice.My babies, how could they be in danger when they aren’t even in the world yet?“There is nothing. After using the drugs I think it should all go well but I can’t say.” The doctor said picking up her documents and ready to leave the ward.My heart shattered, I didn't know how I was supposed to react to something like this and why things have to get this complicated for me.I was managing to do everything and being my best for my unborn children but everything seemed to be fine till Zavier came back into our lives.“Are you sure there’s no expensive treatment we can use to make sure they would be safe? You can’t just put us on hold.” Zavier finally said walking ahead to the doctor:I didn’t know how I was supposed to feel about all of this but I knew for certain that any money from now I was going to flare out.“No, at this point after getting the drugs, there is nothing that we can do
