All Chapters of BOUND BY VENGEANCE : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Rayna's POV.I'd barely dropped my gaze to the document which I'd to review after Laura exited my office when I heard a knock on the door. Earlier, I figured that she wanted to say something but then, it seemed like she forgot and perhaps, now she'd remember hence her return to my office. Although, there were still loads of documents for me to review but then, I knew that I'd to answer her before going on with any other thing.“You may come in, please.” I said, pushing the document to the side as I lifted my gaze to the door, awaiting her presence. However, as the doorknob was turned open from the other side and then pushed open, a rather familiar figure revealed himself as he took some steps into my office. As my gaze fell on him, I almost jumped out of my skin.“Hello,” he mouthed, lifting a hand and shaking his fingers as a cynical smile pushed his lips to the side. “Missed me?” Staring at him, I blinked my eyes rapidly in confusion. How was it possible that he was standing right

Rayna's POV.These days, for no reason in particular, I prefer taking the stairs to the elevator. There's just this unsettling feeling from deep down that repels me from taking the elevator. However, Sera is no stranger to it since she considers it safer and faster. In the meantime, there was an awkward silence between us as we awaited the elevator to bring us the first floor. “Ahem,” I cleared my throat, pressing a fist against my lips. “Do you have any siblings? Or family relatives who stay around?” “Why do you ask ma'am?” she asked, turning to face me. “Nothing really.” I said, with a shrug of my shoulder. “I am just curious. Besides, you haven't mentioned anything about it. If you have any, you haven't said a thing or two about any one of them. I don't want to believe they are that bad, or are they?”“Of course not ma'am.” she said, with a smile on her lips. “I have just been too busy with work lately that I hardly reach out to them. If anything, I have to keep my focus.” “I

Rayna's POV.Although, I had it in mind to visit the hospital later in the day and surprisingly that was the more reason why Sera had to leave every other thing she was doing and instead return to me. However, it should have just been me coming to get examined by the doctor and not Sera. In the meantime, I stared at her as she slept on the hospital cot with a cannula passed into her vein which delivered the liquid from the sack hanging on a metal pole into her body.“She will be fine.” the female doctor said, with an assuring nod. “All she needs right now is a little rest. She was just frightened, that's all.” “Thank you so much.” I said, turning to face her with a meaningful look in my eyes and a smile on my lips. “It could have been worse than this.” “You are welcome. If you would like to watch over her, then you might as well get a seat.” she said, bringing my attention to the chair behind me. “Standing won't make the situation any better than it is. Instead, it will only wear y

Rayna's POV.Again, I figured it would be a good opportunity to get something to eat for myself and Sera since that was what we wanted to do before the elevator incident. With a takeout bag in my grip, I approached the bench which I asked the little boy to sit on and wait for me. However, I couldn't find him there anymore. I froze, rooted to the spot as my heart gave a nervous jolt. Where in the world could he have possibly gone to? Although, with kids you might not really tell, that much I knew. However, he assured me that he would remain put just until I returned. But now, he is nowhere to be found.Standing there, I swept my eyes all over the place, especially behind me to see if he was following me. Perhaps, he couldn't bear the weight of the hunger anymore and so, he'd gone to look for me because then again, I was taking quite a long time to return. But, there was no sign of him. Knowing that he could have in the name of trying to kill time lost his way by deciding to take a walk

Rayna's POV.If she had stormed out of her ward in search of me because she was hungry, although it would seem absurd but, I would be able to handle that. Or perhaps, if she'd requested a nurse to help her get something to eat in my name, then that works still. However, taking out the IV lines which were supposed to help her get better is a big no for me. I understand that she wants to return to work as soon as possible, but then, without a good health how does she expect to function well enough? If anything, she's been subjected to a lot of stress in the course of days graduating into weeks and likewise weeks into months, so if her body decides to breakdown then I won't be surprised. However, I'll only be surprised if she refuses to get treatment, which she's decided to do because her body deceives her into thinking that she's feeling good. And, perhaps there'll be no need for the treatment.“Do you realize what you're doing right now?” I asked, narrowing my gaze at the words. “You
