CHAPTER 41

Rainora POVNatasha walked in with a sense of superiority into the boutique. She always had a way of spreading false and poisonous rumors about anyone who defies her. Ever since high school, she has come up with wild rumors just to slander me. She once told people I was an orphan. I only found out after many students alongside teachers kept greeting me in the classroom and the hallway. “So sorry for your loss Rainora.” They said with a sad tone. I didn’t understand why they greeting me with condolences. It was still several days later that I figured out it was her who started spreading these false rumors about me. That was after I was reprimanded for misinformation by the principal. I furrowed my brows while she approached me. I sensed a headache was coming up.“They may not work in big cities, but they are only doing their job Rainora.” She had a wry smile on her face. Other customers had a disdainful look as their attention focused solely on me. I knew if I didn’t handle this mat

CHAPTER 42

Nikolas POVThe night sky was filled with stars sparkling with light as I approached Rainora’s house. It was a quiet suburb with solar-charged street lamps positioned proportionally along the road illuminating the pathway for cars to move freely. I signaled the driver to stop as we arrived at the location. I opened my phone and confirmed the address sent to me. After confirming it was correct, I paid the driver for the trip. His eyes widened in joy as he counted the money. His eyes flickered excitedly as he rushed out to drop my luggage from the trunk.I stepped out and glanced around the tidy lawns and serenity of the environment. I snapped back from the sound of my box being dropped as the driver placed it in front of me.“Thank You so much, Sir, here is my card. Call me if you need a ride anywhere. I will be there in a flash.” The driver replied in an enthusiastic tone. I slightly nodded as I collected his card. “Frank Rogers…”The name was written in a stylish font on a white col

CHAPTER 43

Rainora POV Mary signaled I come to sit with her on the sofa. I huffed as I sat down in the living room. “Your Boss is quite charming,” Mary said with a skeptical tone. She grinned while looking at me. I knew exactly what she was implying. She wanted to find out more about my connection with him. “I never noticed that; he has always been professional with me.” I bit my lips. Even though Nikolas has always been formal with me, we have started getting closer during these few weeks. However, I wasn’t ready to tell Mary anything yet until I was sure about us. “If you say so-” Mary replied with an unconvinced look. She could tell from my expression that it was a touchy subject for me so she decided not to pursue more. She let out a “hmph” as she continued surfing the TV channels. I picked up the shopping bags at the door and brought them to the living room. “I bought these items from the shopping mall for you.” I opened the bags meant for Mary. She gasped as I passed the clothes and a

Rainora POVHorizon Hotel stood out like a shining beacon in the town. It was a four-star hotel with more than 500 rooms and a Michelin-rated restaurant among its many facilities. It was situated in the central area of the town, and its high-rise building, with a modern architectural design, gave it a distinct look that was impossible to miss. It served the most important dignitaries and hosted the most lavish events of companies for all occasions. It was one of the most attractive hot spots in the town.I set out the next day to meet Nikolas in the hotel. I wore a white skin-tight dress that accentuated all my curves perfectly. I wore red bottom high-heels and I strode out of the house. Mary had a suspicious smile as we greeted briefly before I left.“You’re going to meet your boss, right?” Mary grinned as she asked. I shot a glare at her as I opened the doorknob.“...”I picked up a taxi and headed to the Horizon Hotel. After paying the driver, I walked through its revolving doors.

CHAPTER 45

Rainora POV“Well…well, we meet again Rainora.” Natasha sneered as she approached my table. I felt a headache was coming up. The last time we met at the shopping mall, it didn’t end the way Natasha wanted. She had a cold glint in her eyes as she pulled up a chair close to me.“What brings you here Rainora, are you still leeching off the Doctor?” Natasha gritted her teeth. I clenched my fists as I met her cold gaze.“I don’t need to leech from anyone, Natasha. Unlike you, I have a job.” I replied in a sharp tone. Her face turned crimson in rage. She glanced around nervously as the remaining customers spoke in inaudible tones giggling.“You-” Natasha snapped. I twisted my lips slightly. She regained her composure. She straightened her back with an aura of superiority as she gazed at me deeply.“Now they allow all sorts of low-lives into this luxurious restaurant!” Natasha had a sinister smile as she yelled. People started paying more attention as whispers were going around.I felt a thu

CHAPTER 46

Rainora POV After we ate to our heart's content, Nikolas gazed at me deeply. I held the hem of my dress as his piercing glances sent shivers down my spine. His expression was filled with questions about my connection with Johnson. I told him that we worked together and all that happened subsequently. He let out a sigh of relief when I was done. His demeanor softened as his eyes flickered with happiness.“You’re truly amazing Rainora.” He said in an affectionate tone. My cheeks turned red and flushed. I curved my lips slightly.“I just gave him simple advice,” I replied to him in a gentle tone. He reached out and took my hands in his. A wave of comfort washed over me. I held his warm hands tightly as I met his gaze.“I’ll be returning to the city tomorrow. Wren called to tell me there is an urgent business for me to take care of personally.” Nikolas’ face turned serious as he slumped back in his chair.I cleared my throat as we withdrew our hands. “Then I will go back with you,” I re

CHAPTER 47

Rainora POVThe next day, I woke up early to pack my luggages. I went to Mary’s room to greet her. “Good morning Mum.” I said in an affectionate tone.“Morning Rai-” She replied in a puzzled look. Her eyes scanned my fully dressed clothing. I looked professional. From her expression, I sensed she was wondering where I was going to. I felt a thud in my chest leaving so abruptly. But, if there was work to be done. I should be by Nikolas’ side.“Sorry Mum, I have to return back with Mr. Nikolas today. Something urgent came up in the office.” My eyes welled up in tears as I responded. Mary moved her lips like she wanted to say something, but she changed her mind.“Safe travels, Rai.” She said in a sad tone. We hugged for a moment before I headed back to my room. Later in the day, I received a text message from Nikolas that his outside. I carried my luggages outside to the living room.

CHAPTER 48

Nikolas POVWren stopped at Rainora’s apartment to drop her off. He helped with her luggage as we exchanged greetings. She waved at me and had a warm smile on her face as she stepped out of the car. I watched her retreating figure, and a wave of sadness washed over me. I could see from her expression a sense of concern about me. I sighed deeply as I signaled for us to head home to the Woods Mansion.It was a huge mansion covering acres of land. It held a well-maintained landscape, which gave it a perfect fairy tale scenery. There was a beautiful fountain positioned in front of the mansion, which had illuminating lights that depicted the time of day. It had a pinkish hue that radiated in the night as we drove up to the front door.I felt a lump in my throat as I stepped out of the car. Grandpa Vincent, or “Vince” as his friends called him, was well known for his fairness in judgement but also strict adherence to rules and order. Over the years, he mentored him to become his successor a

CHAPTER 49

Nikolas POVI respectfully greeted Vincent and headed off to my room with Wren. He nodded in approval as he watched our retreating figures. Both Wren and I slumped on the chairs placed in the room. “What’s the latest on the investigation on the hacker?” I asked Wren in a serious tone. Since the last council meeting with the remaining founding families, I tasked Wren to discreetly investigate the “Hacker” and his mode of operation.“He sent them emails/ pictures that contain malware. When they open it, it extracts all their personal information and passwords that unlock their secrets. He later blackmails them for money transfer in exchange of not leaking it out…” Wren continued his analysis,“We have tried to track him, but his skills are impossible to catch. Yet, we have implemented the strongest firewall and security protocols for all our company personnel to avoid being hacked. We have also provided our support to the family heads who were affected. However, not all accepted citing

CHAPTER 50

Rainora POVThere were still a few days left of my paid leave, so I wanted to enjoy it to the fullest. I scrolled down my contact list to dial up Eunice. “Hey, babe, what's up?” She asked candidly. Her voice sounded jovial and relaxed.“ Hey dear, feel like taking a day off?” I had a mischievous smile on my face. After going back and forth on the moral reasons why she shouldn’t take time out from work, I finally convinced her to spend the whole day with me.“Fine…but you owe me big time, girl.” Eunice let out a sigh of exasperation. We hung up at the same time. I rubbed my hands together, feeling haughty and rebellious.Later in the day, I heard a gentle tap on the door. The sun was already shining at its peak, with its rays felt across the city. I checked the pigeon hole on the door to confirm who was knocking. To my delight, it was Eunice holding a bottle of expensive red wine.Click!I opened the door and jumped on her for a tight hug. She had a broad smile on her face as she wra
