Chapter 111: The New, Hardened Rayne

༺LIAM༻ It's been a whole day since Rayne caught me with that woman and I've been expecting her to pack her bags and leave or confront me again. But the silence from her side of the mansion is deafening and it's driving me mad. Is she okay? I wonder if she's even eaten or slept properly since. The last thing I want is her health to be compromised because of my actions. I can’t stand the thought that she’s not taking care of herself or that she’s suffering physically because of the emotional pain I’ve caused her. I've already damaged her so much already. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I broke her completely or beyond repair for the sake of keeping her safe. The irony stings; my desire to protect her has only brought her pain—something I'm trying so hard to spare her from. Tired of sitting around in my study and waiting for Rayne to make her next move or for some sign that she's okay, I get up and make my way to our bedroom. Well, it's her bedroom now. I need to see her,

Chapter 112: Operation: Make Liam Jealous

༺RAYNE༻ “I have a date!” I make sure Liam hears the excitement and smugness in my voice, letting him know I'm moving on and he's the last thing on my mind. Yup, I'll keep telling myself that until I believe it. And maybe one day, I will. I notice how Liam's mouth hangs slightly open and he struggles to seal it back. For once, he looks like a fish out of water. It's good to know that I caught him off guard by my sudden move, a move that I bet he never saw coming. Let's see how he reacts when he finds out who my date is. “A date?” Liam's tone is bitter as his eyes inspect the car. “Who's the unlucky bastard?” Oh, that's the best part! I reply with a deliberate sweetness, revelling in his obvious discomfort, “I could tell you but I'm sure you wouldn't like the answer.” And he sure doesn't. The minute the chauffeur I've been expecting steps out of the car, Liam grits his teeth and his face turns into a lovely shade of livid. He recognizes him. Good. Now, I don't have to spell it ou

Chapter 113: In Damien's Den

༺RAYNE༻ “Well, well, well.” Damien smiles, coming into view while adjusting his cufflinks. “If it isn't the lovely Rayne Everhart.” I smile back and pause my steps, breathing in the amazing smell of his living room. I have to say, the whole place smells like him. Masculine, intoxicating and deep. There's a fine, rich blend of bergamot, cedarwood and his signature cologne. It's like his presence is infused in every inch of this place and it's kind of weird that I find it ridiculously hot, which is so not what I need right now. Why did I come here again? Right. To get back at my asshole of a husband. No, asshole of a future ex-husband. That's exactly why I need to keep my focus and not let Damien's charming smile or ridiculously sexy scent throw me off track. “Damien,” I breathe, my voice a slow drawl, sounding way more seductive than I intended. “Thank you for seeing me on such short notice.” He chuckles and finally gets to where I'm standing. “Short notice? I'd never leave a lov

Chapter 114: Dangerous

༺RAYNE༻How did Liam get in here?He's standing a few feet away from us, his eyes bulging out of their sockets, the tendons in his neck super tense and stretched to the limit. All the way from here, I can vividly see the veins throbbing in his forehead, like he's holding back a nuclear explosion.And he isn't alone.There are about a handful of uniformed officers standing behind him, their faces stern as they look at me and Damien. What the heck is going on? Why did he bring the cops along with him? To drag me back home or to arrest me for going on a date with another man?Why is he even here?!One, two, three, four. Four long, swift strides are what Liam takes to close the distance between us. However, when he gets to where I'm standing, he ignores me and zeroes in on Damien. The next thing he does is brutally slam one of his fists in Damien's cheek.“Son of a bitch!” Liam growls.“Liam!” I squeal and then cover my mouth.Damien staggers back a little and quickly straightens himself.

Chapter 115: The Long, Hard Talk

༺RAYNE༻ Home... We get home in literally no time. It's like the car flew from Damien's driveway to our doorstep. Liam angrily goes out of the car while I'm glued to seat, arms crossed, legs deadlocked, like I'm rooted to the spot. I'm glaring through the windshield, my mind still stuck in a whirlwind of what-the-hecks. Liam swiftly turns around to open the door for me. “Get out,” he grits out, giving me his infamous death stare. I humph and shoot him a side eye before sliding out. But I do it slowly, taking my sweet time, just to piss him off even more. I'm so mad at him for shutting me up the way he did. What's his deal anyway? He has no right to even get all butt-hurt when he's the one who caused all this mess. If he wasn't acting like a complete asshole to me and if he didn't ruin our almost-perfect relationship, I never would've felt the need to go see Damien. And if he didn't act like a caveman, barging in and bringing the cops, Damien wouldn't have gotten under his skin. I

Chapter 116: Locked Up

༺RAYNE༻ “My goodness! Your sugar levels are spiking again, dear. We need to adjust your insulin dose,” Kim informs me, setting down the glucometer. She's already preparing the insulin pump to give me a correction dose. “Have you been feeling any unusual symptoms today? Dizziness, nausea or excessive thirst?” But I don't give her an answer. All I'm thinking about is the absurdity of this whole messed-up situation with Liam. Who does he even think he is? I never in a million years thought that it would ever come to this. He didn't just keep me locked up in the house—he locked me in this damn bedroom! I've been stuck inside these four walls for a whole week. As if that wasn't enough, he took away my phone and my laptop, cutting me off from the outside world. The jerk was even kind enough to leave me with a huge pile of books and magazines. Yeah, because reading about other people's lives is going to somehow make me forget that I'm basically his prisoner. Am I seriously going to be

Chapter 117: Ditching My Warden For A Wild Night

༺RAYNE༻ Sabrina really did it! That woman is crazy! She came up with a plan where I had to act like I was unconscious. Then she frantically alerted the guards that I'd suddenly collapsed from a diabetic episode and needed immediate medical attention. Even Kim was fully bought into the act, panicking and demanding the guards get me to the hospital ASAP. It was only after we got into Sabrina's car that she realized she'd been duped. Sabrina and I ditched the hospital detour and headed straight to her friend's party. As soon as she zoomed out of the estate and lost the tail of Liam's bodyguards chasing us in SUVs, she burst into a hearty laugh. And I joined in. It was the first time I had a genuine belly laugh in weeks, feeling carefree for the first time in forever. I laughed hard until my sides hurt. Sabrina stopped at a store to get me a sexy party dress and a pair of high heels which I changed into. I could only imagine what Liam would do when he found out that I ditched his pr

Chapter 118: Wife On The Loose

༺LIAM༻ “What the fuck do you mean by my wife escaped?! Are you fucking kidding me right now?” I bark into the phone, barely keeping myself from throwing it against the wall. Like my day at work isn't shitty enough, with that idiot Carter, our so-called 'trusted' business partner, under trial for fraud. His illegal dealings are all over the news, dragging Everhart Energy’s name through the mud. And I’ve spent all day trying to clean up the mess. So the last thing I expected to hear was that my wife had somehow managed to outsmart her security detail and is now who-knows-where, doing God-knows-fucking-what! “Answer me, you incompetent fuck!” I yell again, gritting my teeth. Horatio heaves a loud deep breath on the other end of the line. He's the bodyguard I assigned to watch Rayne 24/7 since Max is yet to fully recover from Vesper's attack. And he came highly recommended. Highly recommended, my foot. Might as well have hired a goddamn security guard from the local mall. “Sir, she…

Chapter 119: Why Do All The Crazy Ones Like Me?

༺RAYNE༻ The walls... Different. My head... Banging. What the hell happened? How did I pass out? My eyes slowly flutter open and I struggle to sit up but my brain protests, spinning and throbbing so hard. I'm so dizzy, I feel nauseous too. The discomfort forces me to lie back on the bed. I squint and take in the view of the bedroom. Where am I? Whose place is this? How did I get here? My memories are hazy, my mind's all messed up. I'm trying to recall just what the freaking hell happened to me and why I feel like absolute crap. I remember Charlotte shamelessly fantasizing about Liam, Sabrina splayed open for another man and then... Damien. His face, his arms, his scent... Those were the last things my brain registered before everything got dark. My heart clenches and falls to my stomach as I remember Damien's last words: “Don't worry, princess. I'll take care of you.” I cringe and sit back up, ignoring the ache in my head and the sharp dizziness that hits me. I clutch my chest

Chapter 120: Danger Zone

༺RAYNE༻Liam didn't come back. I waited and waited for him, way more than the 10 minutes he told me to wait. Every passing minute was torture, felt like an eternity and my anxiety spiked with every milisecond.Even when the shouts had died down and there wasn't a single gunshot to be heard, I was still suffocated with dread. The silence only freaked me out more. I was losing my mind, imagining only the worst.But I did what I was told. I wouldn't want to jeopardize Liam's plans, whatever it was. Or make him have one more thing to worry about, like I wasn't already a liability. And I certainly didn't want to go against his wishes, even if my sanity depended on it.So I called 'Raider'.It was a gravelly, deep voice that answered. I told him about the shootout, Liam's instructions and how he hadn't returned yet. All he said was “Okay” and then he hung up. He didn't bother asking about my location or if I was safe, which only added to my anxiety.Help arrived in less than 20 minutes, whi
