A Made Up Mind

Rayna's POV“Ethan… Ethan?” I called, tapping him on the shoulder. “Wake up; it's late already, and we need to get you home.” I'm not so sure if he understood my words earlier, but then he cried as he realized that he might never see his mom again and eventually he fell asleep. On the other hand, I've had to return to my office to get a few things done while I asked Sera to watch over him and call perhaps, if his father drops by. However, there was no call from her which meant that his father didn't show up. But then, what kind of father would that be a man be not to be worried about the safety or whereabouts of his own son? In the meantime, he blinked his eyes awake after I'd tapped him several times. “Has my mom returned yet?” he asked, rubbing his eyes with the heels of his palms. “Has she come to take me back home?” “No, Ethan. Like I told you, your mom has gone somewhere far and won't be returning.” I said, helping him sit upright on the bed. “However, you can't stay here. It

A Little Favour

Rayna's POV.Well, it was rather obvious that he didn't have any idea whatsoever what he was saying because if he did, and perhaps understood the consequences, then he wouldn't have said that. Although, I wouldn't have allowed him to stay, but then, if Sera had agreed to pass the night in the hospital then it would have been a different ball game. But since she had no intention of doing so, then I'd to return him home. However, I already said that I wouldn't even allow him stay in the first place.“Look Ethan, I know how you feel right now.” I said, gripping his arms as I stared into his eyes. “But, we can't do this. Now's not a good time for us to argue about this. If anything, you should be on your way home right now, if not home already. You don't want your dad to get worried, or do you?” “He doesn't even care if I return home or not.” he said, shaking his head. “So, what's the point of doing so? If he really did care about me, then he should have come here to see my mom. But, he

Too Busy for a Moment

Rayna's POV.If there's one person that I least expect to see tonight and not even anywhere around the hospital, then it would be Zane Winehall. I could only imagine how he recognized me from behind after having just a single meeting with him. Well, it's rather obvious he has an eye for good things. But then, sweeping my eyes all over the place, it seemed like he came alone. Although, I wasn't expecting that he would come with someone. Or perhaps, I was actually. If possible, I thought that he came around with his father but then, it seems I would have to wait for that meeting to be another day.“I never thought that I'd see you here.” he said, with an excited catch in his voice. “What a coincidence.” “Well, the feeling is mutual.” I said, forcing a smile through my lips. “I wasn't expecting to see you here either. However, it's late and I need to return home immediately.” “Oh, come on. Not so soon.” he said, with a shrug of his shoulder. “I mean, the night is still young. We can gr

Taking a step further

Rayna's POV.Loosening the strap of my heels, I took them off and with a foot, I pushed them to the side and then lowered my back on the bed. Bringing back to mind all that happened before now, I'd nothing like the day I had in mind before leaving home. And to make matters worse, I encountered Zane just a few minutes ago. If I knew better, then I would have asked what he came to do at hospital but then again, I didn't have the time to talk to him because doing that would mean that I get that cup of coffee which he offered, and I would find myself sitting on that bench in the open where people could see me. Heaving a sigh, I pressed a hand against my forehead as I gaze upwards with hopes that I wasn't feeling funny in any way from the stress that I went through. Fortunately, I wasn't. Lifting my back from the bed, I noticed that I left the door open. I guess the only thing I had in mind was to get some sleep after getting home. Righting myself from the bed, I walked over to the door a

It could have been worse

Rayna's POV.It's been an hour already since I got that call from Laura but then, I wouldn't be sitting in front of my TV screen this late at night if I wasn't concerned. From the moment she told me that she saw Sebastian and Malcolm in that hotel around that unholy hour, my mind had been reeling with questions. However, I'd come to the sitting room to distract myself a little from the thought that I was having because I couldn't get any sleep. But more importantly, I was waiting for her to call again and tell me that she'd arrived home safely. But then, it was taking eternity for that to happen. If anything, I could only hope that she listened to me earlier and didn't do anything out of line by going inside to spy on them just as she'd suggested.In the meantime, I picked up my cellphone which I kept beside me to check if there were any new messages from her. However, there was none.“What in the world are you trying to do, Laura?” I muttered under my breath, righting myself from th

Too Busy To Babysit

Rayna's POV.“Where could I have kept it?” I muttered the words under my breath as I moved a stack of documents from one side of my desk to the other.However, the USB flash drive wasn't there. Heaving a rather depressing sigh, I pushed my fingers through my hair and then scrubbed a hand over my face. For one, I was certain that I didn't bring it home with me even though I knew that I'd a lot of work to do. So, where could I have possibly kept it? Pulling out a drawer from my desk, I ran my hands in it. However, there was no trace of the flash drive in it. I moved onto the next drawer and then the third, but it wasn't there. “I can't be doing this right now.” I said, holding my head in my hands as I closed my eyes to think. I remained that way for a few seconds, trying to bring back to mind the events of yesterday to be sure that I haven't misplaced it. However, I couldn't recall if there was a time that I took it out. If anything, I knew that I'd quite a lot to do yesterday and so,

A Better Option

Rayna's POV.“I need you to take a good look at this, Sera.” I said, turning my laptop to face her. “And, I need you to tell me what you think. Don't rush it. Take your time.” Fortunately, I found the flash drive in my car. Although, I don't remember dropping it in there and I couldn't say exactly how it got there, but then it didn't matter now that I've found it. Else, it would have been a different ball game should it happen that it fell from me and someone else picked it up. Considering the files and documents that were in it, then it would be a big loss.“Fifty percent?” she asked, lifting her gaze as she glanced at me with a look of surprise masking her face. “Are you sure you want to buy this many shares? Or better still, invest this much?”“Of course, I'm not sure and that's why you're here.” I said, flashing a smile across her worried face. “Tell me what you think about it.” “Well, looking at the situations they've had in the past, I don't think it's the right thing to do.”

A Strange Question

Rayna's POV.“You should go that way, I'll go this way.” I said, instructing Sera as I swept my eyes all over the place. “If you find him first, just give me a call. I'll join you immediately.” “Alright ma'am.” she said, quickening her pace as she proceeded in the direction which I asked her to go.If anything, I didn't think that I would have to search for him again. At least, not in the middle of my work. Although, I'd given him my word last night to spend the day with him, however I just knew it wasn't a good idea when I saw him this morning. For one, I was expecting that he would arrive in the noon but then, things took an ugly turn. In the meantime, I swept my gaze up and the down the place as the sound of my heels on the tiled floor echoed through the hallway. Stopping by every corner or hall room, but then there was still no sign of him.Stepping out of one of the rooms where I checked for him, I heaved a heavy sigh while still holding the doorknob. As I shut the door and tur

A Familiar Face

Rayna's POV.Letting out a laughing scoff, I blinked my eyes rapidly in surprise. Was that how curious he was about my personal life? If he really wanted to know something, then why not walk up to me and ask me himself? Why go through a little boy to get the information he wanted. If anything, I was as certain as the break of a new day that my staffs wouldn't ask him such question. If there was anyone who could have asked that, then it would be Sebastian.“Did he ask you to put it that way?” I asked, squatting in front of him as I swept a tumbling hair back off his brow. “Tell me, is that what he asked you to say?” Before answering, he turned back and glanced in the direction that Sebastian went and then returned his gaze to me with an apologetic look in his eyes.“How did you figure that out?” he asked, staring at me as if he'd let me down. “Is he really a bad person?”“Well, I just happen to know a few things, Ethan.” I said, with a smile on my lips. “Now, what did you say to him?”

Seeing is Believing

Rayna's POV.“What in the world is going on here?” I asked, my voice preceding my presence. “And what is the meaning of all these?” “Good, just the person I want to see.” Zane said, taking off his spectacles. “Didn't she tell you that it's me?”“Really?” I asked, surprised at the audacity with which he threw that question at me. “Even if she did, and so what? Who do you think you are to walk in here and demand for my presence like you're my boss? Look around, it doesn't look like your home. This is my company and I own it. Besides, you don't talk to her that way. She's my assistant and so, deserves every respect that I get from you. Are we clear?” Glancing at Sera for a brief moment, he returned his attention to me.“I didn't come here for this.” he said, putting on his spectacle. “I came to see you because I need to talk to you.” “Well, I also didn't expect that you'd put on another show after what you did last night.” I said, with a shrug of my shoulder. “Or don't you think it's
