Word for Word

Rayna's POV.“Is this some kind of joke or what?” Zane asked, narrowing his gaze at the words. “You want me prove that my company will bring in better profits? Is that what you're asking me to do?” “I believe you heard me the first time, right?” I asked, my brows taking a quizzical dip. “So, I don't think there's any need to repeat myself.” “I still don't know why I find it hard to believe that you've asked me to prove such.” he said, letting out a laughing scoff. “The reason we have so many foreign companies who are willing to invest in the economy of this state is because we are still standing.” “Is that some speech on proving that you're worth my partnership and investment?” I asked, with a hint of sarcasm edging my lips. “If it is, then I must say that you'll have to do a lot better than that.” “You are enjoying this, aren't you?” he asked, his voice suddenly as hard as steel. “However, you should know that your company needs mine. If you're going to ever market your products

Hoping for a change

Rayna's POV.It is only a matter of time before I would deal with Sebastian and Malcolm in the same way that I have done Zane. If anything, I just want them to have the feeling that things were going their way before I would finally help them with the reality of things. Barely five minutes after he stepped out of my office, I guess I must have bruised his ego considering how he slammed my door when leaving. However, Sera and Ethan stepped in.“Sera, could you help me check if the hinges of the door are still intact.” I asked, as she walked in with Ethan. “Also, help me check if the doorknob is still okay. Thank you.” “Alright ma'am,” she said, examining the hinges then the doorknob before returning her attention to me. “They are both intact.” “Thank goodness.” I said, heaving a sigh of relief. “I thought he must have ruined it somehow.” He might actually think that my office is a lot smaller than his, however I would say that he was only fortunate we had the last meeting in the boa

A Better Life

Rayna's POV.Although, I hadn't spoken to his father about my plans of changing his school yet, but that was one of the reasons why I wanted to meet with him: to discuss Ethan's future. If his father had decided not to send him to school anymore, knowing how intelligent he is, it would be a loss to leave him that way, so it would be a lot better to put him in a different school away from his home since he had already complained about being bullied a few times. However, it's been over ten minutes, and he is yet to give me a reply, I guess the idea hadn't crossed his mind. Or perhaps, he didn't want to actually change his school.“I am still waiting for you Ethan.” I said, reminding him just in case he'd forgotten. “So, what would he be? Would you rather stay in your school or would you allow me to bring you to a different school?” “If you bring me to a new school, will you be responsible for paying my school fees?” he asked, with a tinge of curiosity in his voice.Although, I knew wh

A Small World

Rayna's POV.Stepping into the eatery which Sera arranged for me to meet with Ethan's father, I swept my eyes all over the place. It wasn't as if I knew exactly who I was looking for, but then I just had the feeling that I would be able to recognize him when I eventually see him. Absurd, right? Perhaps, Sera would have helped me with a picture of him. Nonetheless, I ventured further into the place, still searching. However, I noticed a familiar face sitting by a window at the extreme end to my left. As our gazes met, he righted himself and walked up to me.“We meet again.” he said, with a cynical smile on his lips as he extended a hand towards me for a handshake. “How have you been?” Dropping my gaze to his hand which he held out to me, I was skeptical about taking it. If anything, he'd promised that he'll bring me some of the lessons which he learned over there. And, I could only imagine what if the handshake was the very beginning of it all? However, there were eyes watching, and I

One Had To Go

Rayna's POV.If anything, I know that he must have had his reasons for doing all that to his wife. But then, I don't think there would be a reason for him to beat up his sick wife. However, I want to believe the reasons were worth his rotten attitude towards wife who'd passed on and his only son.“It is quite surprising that I have to answer to you.” he said, narrowing his gaze at the words. “Why do I have a feeling that this is going to be an interrogation, rather than a meeting which was told to me?” “If it happens to be an interrogation in the end, then it's because you caused it yourself.” I said, speaking through my teeth. “Besides, it doesn't have to be so surprising that you have to answer to me. If anything, you'd better start talking before I press charges against you for domestic violence, child neglect and worse of all, doing—” “I think that's enough now.” he said, cutting me off. “What do you want to know? It doesn't matter if it ends up as an interrogation. It's still a

Desires of the heart

Rayna's POV.That question isn't for me to answer. However, I'm not saying that because I did a few things for Ethan, then I have earned the right to be called his parent. If anything, anyone could have found him and done the same things which I did for him and perhaps, even more. However, all I wanted him to understand was that he can't treat his son of seven years that way and still expect that he would give him the respect he ought to. Or maybe see him as his father. It's not done.“If you think I am trying to say that I've earned the right to be called his parent, then you're wrong.” I said, shaking my head as I looked him in the eyes. “All I did was help a little boy who was in need. That's all. However, I expected that you should understand what he's going through. But it's rather obvious that you don't care about him.” “If I don't care about him do you think he would have grown this much.” he asked, raising a brow.“You tell me.” I said, with an edge to my voice. “If you do ca

A Chance To Do Better

Rayna's POV.Having seemed like I hit a nerve with my words, he fell silent for a moment and gaze at me with a hard stare as if trying to process my words in his head. Knowing that he needed that time, I allowed him a moment.“Ahem,” he cleared his throat, breaking the silence. “You really don't have to put such heavy words on him, you know? He's just a kid.”“You think those are heavy words?” I asked, letting out a laughing scoff. “I only said the truth. It would have been a lot better if I had some of our conversations recorded. Perhaps, you'll realize who's more desperate.” “Alright, I think we're done here.” he said, his voice suddenly as hard as steel as he gripped Ethan by the hand, ready to drag him out.“You should relax.” I said, in a soft voice. “We haven't ordered anything yet. Besides, the little boy must be hungry. He's done nothing but listen to us speak for over an hour now. We should allow him get something to eat. Or don't you think so?” “Did you come here to mock m

Secret Doings

Rayna's POV.“I believe we're done now.” I said, wiping the corners of my mouth with the tissue provided by the female server who brought our order. “Or is there something else we are missing?” I darted my gaze back and forth as I glanced at Ethan then to his father. However, as I got no reply from either of them, I tossed the tissue on my empty plate which had some chicken remains in it then I pushed it towards the center of the table. It was rather obvious that Ethan had been hungry the whole time because he didn't care to use the provided silverware. Instead, he used both hands to tear apart the chicken on his plate. Although, a shadow of dismay crossed his father's face when he noticed what he was doing, but then, he wouldn't blame the poor boy. He was hungry, and it seemed like the silverware weren't helping matters. So, he'd to opt in for a much better option: his hands.Besides, I don't think his father would have been able to afford what the little boy was eating. If anythin

Now or Never

Rayna's POV.Of course there's a problem: a very big one at that. How come I'm just finding out about this now? Who knows how long they've been coming here, and what damage they would have done already? I mean, a place like this was situated in the neighborhood and I didn't know all the time? Thinking about it, a cold shiver ran down the length of my spine. Who knows what they were up to, and what documents they were trying to counterfeit?“You have got to be kidding me.” I said, letting out a laughing scoff as I blinked my eyes rapidly in surprise. “How did I not notice this sooner?” I held my head in my hands and pushed my fingers through my hair which covered my face. If anything, I knew that they would have frequented this place a lot even before I asked Laura to keep an eye on Malcolm for me. However, didn't she see when he was stepping out? Why didn't she inform me about it sooner? If anything, I am quite certain that they would have visited this place a few times before today.

It takes time

Rayna's POV.Since Greene had told us about the operations in the building, then I didn't think there was any reason to go in there anymore. It wasn't as if I wanted their services so, it would look a bit awkward going in there. Besides, even if I go in there and ask whoever was in charge what Malcolm and Sebastian came to do, there's no guarantee that they'll give me the reply that I want. So, it was a total waste of time doing that.However, if I'm to put them both in their place, then I'll be needing a lot of evidence. In the meantime, they stood outside having a discussion with a white-bearded man whom I assumed was in charge of the place. Of course, he wouldn't own it. So, he must be working for someone too. While Sebastian engaged the man in a conversation, Malcolm kept watch of the place by sweeping his eyes all around.“Give me the device.” I said, holding out a hand towards Sera as I held them firmly in my gaze. “This is just the perfect evidence that I need to throw them out
