The Alpha’s Lottery Wife Chapter 13
RAINI LAVERNE My stay in this house has been nothing short of amazing and don't get me started about how Zavier is such a proper gentleman, but that eerie feeling sweeps over me again because know, no one is ever this good neither no one is this clean, we all have some shit we are hiding behind our dirty closet.Then you may fucking wonder, what about you Raini, what secret are you hiding under your dirty closet.For starters, let's talk about the fact that I am not here with the purest of intentions to get to meet this hot catch of a person and get to be his wife for the next thirty day, with the intention of falling in love with him, no, that's not it, I want to get more exposure and boost my modeling career.That's what makes the first thing I am going to ask of him since I got to this house a bit far-fetched and out of character. It started that day with my conversation with Karla."I think Carlos isn't sincere with his intentions," she muttered bitterly, she was telling me about

RAINI LAVERNEI got up from my couch and went to the door, opening it to reveal Zavier standing there with a smile on his face. I couldn't help but feel a bit giddy at the sight of him, and I tried to hide it with a nonchalant greeting."Hey, what's up?" I said, trying to sound cool and collected.Zavier chuckled, clearly seeing through my act. "Not much, just wanted to check in and see how your day was going.""Oh, you know, same old same old," I replied, waving my hand dismissively. "Just lounging around, trying not to die of boredom."Zavier raised an eyebrow. "Is that so? Well, I might have something that could spice things up a bit."I perked up at his words, curious as to what he could be talking about. "Oh really? What's that?"He smiled at me, and I couldn't help but feel my heart skip a beat. "I was thinking we could do a TV interview together. You know, give the people a taste of the real Raini."I couldn't believe it. A TV interview? With Zavier? It was like a dream come tr

Gazing at the empty sky, staring at the abyss, I can't believe how much I miss Raini. It's only been a few days, and yet it feels like an eternity. I'm so used to having her around, laughing and chatting with her. We've been inseparable since birth, and now that she's gone, it feels like a piece of me is missing.I decided to go to the park to clear my mind. It's always been a place of solace for me, where I can escape from the chaos of the world and just breathe. As I sit on the bench, I watch the kids play and the birds fly by. It's peaceful here, but my mind keeps drifting back to Raini.I wonder how she's doing in the contest. Is she happy? Is she making friends? Is she missing me too? I hope she's not feeling too overwhelmed. I know she's strong, but this contest is no joke.Maybe I should send her a message or give her a call. But I don't want to distract her or make her feel like she's missing out on anything. I want her to focus on the contest and do her best.As I sit here, wa

Raini LaverneThis was fucking annoying, I paced around my room, tapping my foot impatiently as I waited for Karla to arrive. I couldn't believe Zavier didn't come to see me yesterday. He promised he would visit me every day, and now he's gone and broken that promise. I know he has work to do, but still, it feels like he's avoiding me.Just then, Karla walked in, her stern expression softening when she saw how frustrated I was. "Hey there, Raini," she said, "What's bothering you?""Zavier didn't come to see me yesterday," I pouted, "And I'm worried that something might be wrong."Karla nodded understandingly. "I'm sure he has his reasons," she said, "But I'll talk to him and find out what's going on. Don't worry, Raini, I'll make sure he comes to see you soon."I let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Karla," I said, "You always know how to make me feel better."Karla smiled. "That's what I'm here for," she said, "Now, let's talk about something else. tell me about how it has been goin

RAINI LAVERNEWith all the drama going on currently, especially with whatsoever prank someone is pulling on me with does ugly flowers, a weekend getaway is something worth exploring, I couldn't wait for my weekend getaway with Zavier. I had everything planned out and was so excited to spend some time away with him. But when Trinity Fay came to visit me, she had her usual pessimistic attitude and tried to discourage me from going."You're going away with a someone you barely know? Raini, that's a disaster waiting to happen. What if he turns into a wolf in the middle of the night and eats you alive?" Trinity Fay exclaimed, looking at me like I was crazy for even considering the idea.I was so excited to see Trinity Fay when she came over to my apartment. It had been a while since we had a good catch-up session. I had been looking forward to telling her all about my upcoming weekend getaway with Zavier."Trinity, you won't believe it. I'm going on a weekend trip with Zavier!" I exclaimed

RAINI LAVERNE It had only been a few hours since our arrival at the country home off the west coast but I already felt more relaxed than I had been in a long time. I couldn’t be sure what it was exactly that made the feelings of stress and pressure to leave but one thing I was sure of was the atmosphere and how much being in one place together with my husband felt right.There were no people to upset me, different sorts of noises, or the other things that came with being at the pack house. Instead, the sounds of pans and pots that usually came from the kitchen were replaced with birds chirping, and the sound of the conversations around me was now replaced with the soft hum of the breeze as it ruffled through the trees around. “That smile is infectious. Penny for your thoughts?” Xavier asked and I turned to look in his direction, throwing a small smile his way.He was currently relaxed on the bed, propped up on a ridiculous amount of soft pillows and he too looked to be relaxed alt

RIVER LAVERNEI sat on my bed staring blankly at the wall, scrolling through my phone, wondering why Damon hadn't called me for weeks. We had been seeing each other for months, and I thought things were going great between us.I decided to message him to ask if we could meet up. He replied almost immediately and agreed to meet me at our usual spot. I got dressed and headed out to see him, my heart pounding with excitement.As soon as I saw him, I knew something was wrong. He was distant and cold, and didn't seem interested in anything I had to say. I tried to make small talk, but he kept looking at his phone, ignoring me.Finally, I asked him what was going on. He looked up at me with a guilty expression on his face and said, "River, I need to tell you something. I'm married."My heart sank, and I felt like someone had punched me in the gut. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "What do you mean you're married?" I asked, my voice shaking."I saw you and I liked you, River," he said,

Flashback ;ZAVIER CROSSCaleb entered my office with a grin on his face. "Good morning, boss. How was your night?""It was fine, Caleb. What's up?" I replied, not in the mood for small talk."Everything is going as planned. I've been keeping an eye on River, and she seems to be getting interested in me," he said with a smirk.I raised my eyebrow. "Good to know, but don't forget the reason why you're there. We need to keep her safe. You shouldn't fall in love with her, Caleb."He chuckled. "Don't worry, boss. I know what I'm doing. I'm just playing my part."I sighed. "Just be careful. Remember, we're not just protecting Raini; we're protecting her sister as well. If anything happens to her, Raini will be devastated.""I understand, Zavier," Caleb replied, nodding his head. "I'll make sure nothing happens to either of them.""Good. And one more thing, Caleb. Don't let River know that you work for me. We don't want her to be suspicious.""Got it, boss. I'll stay clear of Raini's path a

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
