RAINI LAVERNE
I am fucking moving to the house of Zavier Cross, it is absurd how my life went from being remotely boring to moving to a mansion across town where I would probably get decapitated; I am not even joking.
I choose to blame River, I still feel like strangling her to death or sucking her life out with a straw while she sleeps, but I think the latter will be more pleasurable to watch, my mum would probably be mortified and murder me afterward but that would be a worthy trade.
"I still feel this is the worst idea in the history of worst ideas ever," Trinity Fay muttered bitterly as she angrily shoved my clothes into my back, I am reconsidering inviting her to help me pack but how do I kindly tell her to go home without breaking her heart more than it already is.
"Don't listen to her," River interjected before I could reply to her, she wasn't helping me pack my clothes, just trying out my different shades of lipstick in front of my vanity mirror.
"She should listen to me because clearly, I am the only voice of reasoning she got,"
River let out an exasperated chuckle, "Voice of reasoning," she scoffed, "If we leave Raini to your ever-pessimistic opinion we would all be living under a rock right now,"
I can't believe I'm actually doing this. Moving into a stranger's house for thirty days just because I won some stupid contest that my sister signed me up for without my knowledge. River thinks this is the perfect opportunity for me to get noticed in my non-existing modeling career, and Trinity Fay thinks it's a terrible idea. And honestly, I don't know what to think.
I'm sitting in my room with River and Trinity Fay, surrounded by clothes, shoes, and beauty products. River is excitedly picking out outfits for me to wear while Trinity Fay is giving her opinion on every item.
Trinity Fay looks at River and says, "I still can't believe you signed her up for this contest without her knowledge. What if this Zavier guy is a serial killer or something?"
River rolls her eyes, "Oh come on, Trinity. Zavier Cross is a renowned billionaire and a TV sensation. He's not a serial killer."
I can't help but interject, "Well, that's reassuring. Because being a billionaire automatically means he's not a psycho."
Trinity Fay laughs and adds, "Exactly. And who knows, Raini, you might even fall in love with him and become the next Mrs. Cross."
I roll my eyes, "Yeah, because that's exactly what I'm looking for. A rich, handsome man who's looking for a wife through a reality TV contest."
River giggles, "Oh, Raini, don't be so pessimistic. You never know what could happen."
I look at them both and say, "You guys are ridiculous. I'm not going to fall in love with some stranger just because I'm living in his house for thirty days."
Trinity Fay grins mischievously, "Well, at least you'll have some eye candy to look at."
I can't help but laugh, "That's true. Maybe I should bring a pair of binoculars."
As we continue to get ready, we joke and make sarcastic comments about the whole situation. Deep down, I'm still not enthusiastic about it, but at least I have my girls by my side to make it a little more bearable.
As we continue to get ready, I start to feel a little bit more excited about the whole thing. Maybe it's the thought of living in a luxurious mansion for thirty days or the possibility of meeting new people. Or maybe it's just the fact that I have my sister and my best friend by my side to support me.
River hands me a dress and says, "You have to wear this one. It will look amazing on you."
I take the dress and examine it. It's a gorgeous red gown with a plunging neckline and a slit that goes all the way up to the thigh. I can't help but feel a little nervous about wearing something so revealing.
Trinity Fay notices my hesitation and says, "Come on, Raini. You have a killer body. You should show it off."
I shrug and say, "I guess you're right."
After we finish getting ready, we head down to the lobby where a limo is waiting for us. As we get into the limo, I can feel my heart pounding with excitement and nerves. I can't believe that I'm actually doing this.
The ride to Zavier's mansion is long, but we keep ourselves entertained by playing games and telling stories. I can tell that Trinity Fay is still a little bit nervous about the whole thing, but River is just as excited as I am.
As we pull up to the mansion, I can feel my heart racing. The mansion is enormous and looks like something out of a fairytale. I can't believe that I'm going to be living here for the next thirty days. They decided to escort me today, “ You think we would let you go live with some potential serial killer and not know where to direct the cops to if there is any need to retrieve your body,” Trinity Fay says in her usual dark humorous manner keeping a deadpan look, I wonder how she does it; I admire her.
We are greeted by a butler who leads us into the living room where Zavier is waiting for us. River whispers to me that, he looks even more handsome in person than he does on TV. I can feel my cheeks turning red as he introduces himself to us, I don’t know why my eyes went to the curve of his lips as he said his name to River and Trinity Fay, I don’t even find him attractive, I think the media does his looks a fair amount of justice.
He tells us that he's planned a special Lunch for us and that he's looking forward to getting to know us better. I can't help but feel a little bit intimidated by him, but at the same time, I tell that he is trying so hard to appear as a kind and generous person but I am not buying it, at least not this easily.
As we sit down for dinner, Zavier starts asking us questions about ourselves. He's genuinely interested in getting to know us and I can tell that he's a good listener, I can tell he is kissing River's ass and she is licking his.
"So what made you come up with these contests?" River finally asks a question I was dying to know the answer to, I feel in a way that for a man of his status and influence, he should be able to get as many women as he wants, was he doing it for the thrill of the chase? I heard most billionaires have a fetish to hunt and acquire things they could easily get just for the fun and thrill of the moment.
"I guess I did it to find love,"
"Bullshit," Trinity Fay scoffs with a cough that makes it almost inaudible.
"I know right, we all want to find love," River the princess Fiona from Sherk wanna-be muttered in a dreamlike state, continuing with the ass-kissing.
"They should probably sprinkle some salt to sweeten some of your lies," Trinity Fay says unapologetically and he chuckled, someone he seems to get her dark humor which is impressive for someone just meeting her for the first time, it took me months to accept that part of her.
"What about you Raini?"
"What about me?" I asked nervously, not waiting for him to finish his questions,
"Why did you sign up for the contest?" he said.
"I didn't___" I began to explain before River rudely interrupted me.
"She did so for the experience, to know what it feels like and maybe find love,"
I rolled my eyes, I could tell Zavier was glaring at me, to see if I would object to what she just said, but to what use.
"Hmmm," he simply replied, I could tell he didn't buy a bit of the crap she just sold to him.
Throughout the meal, we talk and laugh and I start to feel more and more comfortable around him. By the end of lunch, I can't believe how much fun I'd had but it was majorly because of the presence of Trinity Fay and my sister, if I was left alone with Zander, it would probably be a bunch of questions, and answers sessions.
As we say our goodbyes Trinity Fay and River drove back to town not before Trinity Fay threatened to slit Zavier's throat and make sure she watches him as he petrifies if he does anything to hurt me, I can't help but feel a little bit more optimistic about the whole thing. Maybe living in Zavier's mansion for thirty days won't be so bad after all.
ZAVIER CROSSIt’s been fourteen hours, five minutes, and ten seconds since Trinity Fay and River have left me alone with Zavier Cross, but who is counting, I can't help but feel nervous as I pace around my enormous room. I glare around and wonder how I would survive the next 30 days living with this total stranger. A lot of thoughts rage in my mind, and my pessimistic attitude believes it will turn out really bad.As I pace around, the door opens and a young lady about my age enters the room. She introduces herself as Karla and tells me that Zavier has put her in charge of everything I would need. “ I will be the one who will cater for your every need, be here at your every beck and call even when you don’t need me, in other words, I will be the ultimate pain in your ass,”I can't help but chuckle. Karla has a wonderful sense of humor, and I soon warm up to her.We have a wonderful conversation, and I can't believe how funny and engaging she is. We joke and tease each other, and I st
POVII do not like being humiliated in front of anyone,especially because of some spineless celebrity wanna-be like Raini Laverne. "I need you to do something for me," I wasn't asking because I knew when I wanted something, I get it."I am sure you know whatever you want, I will give it to you, no question asked," Jason said, he was a muscular tall man with broad shoulders."I know that I do,"I walked majestically, close to where he stood, gazing at me and began touching his shirt, " I know you are one of the guards of Zavier Cross,"He let out a chuckle, "You women and how you are so infatuated by Zavier,"He dare called what I feel for Zavier an infatuation, I would have slapped Lucifer out of him, if not that I needed him."Well call it what you want, I know you are aware of his new TV wife,""Yes, Raini, she is hot,"This guy is really getting on my nerves but I won't bite."I want you to tell me everything she does when she is in the house, what is her relationship with Zavie
ZAVIER CROSSI walked into Raini's room and found her in a much better mood than I had left her in. It seemed like she had hit it off with Karla, which was a relief to me. I told her that we would be having dinner together and that she should get ready. I noticed her looking at me intently as if she was sizing me up. I could understand why, I mean, I was a stranger to her, a billionaire TV sensation that she had won in a contest."Hello, Raini," I say, giving her a smile.She looks up at me, a mix of apprehension and curiosity in her eyes. "Hi, Zavier. What's up?""I just wanted to let you know that we'll be having dinner together tonight," I say. "I thought it would be a good opportunity for us to get to know each other a little better."Raini looks like she's about to protest, but then she seems to change her mind. "Okay, sure. What time?""Let's say seven o'clock," I say. "And feel free to wear whatever you're comfortable in. We're not exactly formal around here."Raini nods, looki
I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of something rustling outside my window. My senses were on high alert, and my heart was racing as I tried to identify the source of the noise. That's when I saw it- a shadowy figure lurking just outside the glass.Instinct took over, and I felt the transformation begin. My muscles contracted and expanded, and I felt my bones shifting and reshaping. My skin itched and burned as my fur sprouted, and my jaw elongated as my teeth sharpened.Within seconds, I had shifted completely into my black alpha wolf form. I felt my heightened senses kick in, my sense of smell and hearing becoming more acute. My vision changed as well, and everything took on a blue hue.I padded silently over to the window, my claws clicking softly on the floor. The shadowy figure outside was still there, but I could now see it more clearly. It was a person, standing just beyond the reach of the porch light.I growled low in my throat, warning the intruder to leave. B
Raini LaverneI woke up to a message from Trinity Fay saying she wanted to come to visit me. I was excited at the prospect of seeing her, it had been too long. But as soon as she arrived, I could tell she was still unsure about all of this."Girl, are you sure about this? Living in a mansion with some rich dude? I mean, what do you even know about him?" Trinity Fay asked, a hint of sarcasm in her voice.I rolled my eyes, "Oh come on, Trinity Fay. He's not just some rich dude. He has some good sides which I am getting to know in a way. Plus, he's been nothing but great to me since I got here."Trinity Fay scoffed, "Well, just be careful. You know how these rich men can be. They're always trying to control everything."I shook my head, "You're such a pessimist, Trinity Fay. Can't you just be a happy soul for once?"Trinity Fay smiled, "I am happy for you, girl. I just don't want you to get hurt, that's all. So, how has it been living with Mr. Mystery Man?"I chuckled, "It's been great,
ZAVIER CROSSI woke up feeling energized and excited for the interview today. This job means everything to me, and I won't leave any stone unturned. I head to the bathroom to freshen up, and I splash some cold water on my face. I look at myself in the mirror, and I can't help but smile at my reflection.I grab my hairbrush and tidy up my hair, making sure that it's neat and presentable. After that, I grab my suit and shirt from the closet. It's a black and white striped suit with a white shirt that has a black tie. I picked this outfit out yesterday, and I was glad it looked perfect on me. I ironed it last night to make sure there are no creases, and it looks crisp and clean.I put on my suit jacket, and it fits me perfectly, accentuating my broad shoulders. I check my watch, and I still have some time before I leave. I take one last look in the mirror and smile at the confident-looking man staring back at me.I grab my shoes, which are shiny black leather with a matching belt, and pu
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
