Raine had a second chance at life when she was reborn as a wealthy heiress. She had a plan: to save the man of her dreams from his tragic fate and make him hers. She proposed to him with a bold offer. "Marry me. You can escape from your stalker and have a virgin bride. It’s not bad, isn’t it?" She vowed to protect him and avenge his previous death. She didn't mind being in a fake marriage, or so she thought. But he was not the prince charming she imagined. He was a seductive temptation that she couldn't resist. "I'm not the sweet candy you think I am, honey. No, I'm not…" Would she be able to break free from his thorny embrace? He was intrigued by the first woman who dared to ask him to marry her with such a serious expression. Kai was a famous star, and women adored his charisma and beauty. He agreed to her proposal and planned to use this innocent heiress for his own purposes. No strings attached. But he was tempted. His wife was too enticing to resist. "You walked into my trap, Raine. Don't blame me if I can't get enough of you." Could they find love in their web of lies? What secrets was Kai hiding from her? Would Raine's love be able to heal Kai's wounds? Could their contract marriage turn into a real romance?
View MoreRaine's POVI sighed and massaged my neck while reading the article that my secretary sent to me. I can’t believe Emma will use tactics like this. She even hired trolls to ruin my husband’s name. Some of the netizens even believe Emma’s claims."I think people will believe that you and Sir Kai were in a contract or false marriage. You guys didn’t meet often or even see each other, and now you guys are married?" she halts."Nowadays, contract marriages are famous because of novel stories and sometimes they do happen in real life," Macey added. I lean my back on my swivel chair and hold my chin.If she continues to spread rumors against him, it will be bad for his career. However, he can take a hiatus and concentrate on his plans to take revenge on Gil and Emma Harper. Should I release a counterstatement on this one? I look at Macey.I remember what my husband said. "Macey, my husband told me everything that you confessed to him," I remarked. She turned pale and bowed her head. I guess
Kai's POVI need to talk to her about Macey's secret and see if she can forgive Macey for keeping the truth from her. Raine explains, "I know that Macey was hiding something from me. But I can't bring myself to hate her or be distant with her. I feel like she's the sister I've always wanted." As I reach behind my back, I reveal the journal that Macey had given me."I need to tell you something. Macey wants to make amends for a sin she didn't commit. Her father was one of the hired killers paid by an evil person to kill your mother," I admit.Her expression changes as she takes the notebook from me and reads about Macey's dad's confession. I wonder what decision she will make. I want to use this to test my wife's principles.'I wonder if she'll hate Macey and punish her for her dad's sin. I hope she won't make things difficult for her while working with her.'My intuition was right. There was definitely something going on. That's why she always stood by my side with a guilty expression
Raine's POVMy heartbeat feels like it's stopped as Kai's words sink in. I want to ask him about it, but I'm afraid he'll say he's just joking. My husband turns my face towards him and kisses my neck."Raine, I love you. I can't help it. I love you so much that I want to keep you with me all the time." He holds my face again, showing me how sincere he is. Tears stream down my face as I hug him tightly."I love you more, Kai! I love you so much!" I cry out.He holds me close and starts moving again. The pain fades away and I'm left with pleasurable sensations with each thrust.As we cross the line and confess our feelings after a month, I realize it's not just about time spent together, but about the emotions and trust we share.I cover my mouth to stifle my moans, feeling overwhelmed with desire. I find myself unable to resist getting addicted. Then, he ejaculates inside me once more.Kai has so much energy, and so do I. We didn't just do it a couple of times. We only took short break
Kai's POVAt this moment, I felt pure euphoria - an unexplained happiness that filled my heart. I was stunned and speechless when I saw how serious she was.Her gentle and sweet gazes always caught my attention, but when our eyes met, she would quickly look away. She covered my eyes suddenly, seeming embarrassed."I really... really love you. I always have. That's why I proposed marriage instead of a simple contract. I want to keep you all to myself, but I know it's not possible because you're a celebrity. Still, I can't help but keep falling for you," she whispered.She intertwined her fingers with mine while still covering my eyes. "I want to cherish the moments we have together, where I can freely kiss, touch, and embrace you. I want to spend time with you, even if this marriage only lasts for a few months.""I once believed I could stop loving you, but you keep pulling me back in with a selfish desire," she paused, resting her
Raine's POVMy husband takes my hand and smiles. "I have a lot of things I want to talk to you about. First, let’s discuss our vacation house. It’s more convenient for both of us," he suggests.I nod and keep holding his hand as we walk along the shore. I am amazed by how beautiful their bungalow-style vacation house is! The design perfectly complements the beauty of this small island."How many hectares is this island?" I ask."I think it's 2.5 hectares. My parents bought it to celebrate my first birthday. It was a Tarzan-themed birthday," he explains.I look at him and he points his finger at me. I try to stifle my laughter but fail. "I’m sorry. It’s just… cute. It also shows how much they love you and are prepared for your first year in this world," I whisper. I notice a hint of sadness in his eyes. I wonder if he has some sad memories that I wish to know.Their vacation house has a roof mad
Kai's POVI slowly awaken, sensing someone's gaze on me. It feels like I'm being watched. Suddenly, I feel a touch on my cheek and instinctively grab the person's wrist, pulling her closer."Who the heck... RAINE?!" I exclaimed, refusing to release her wrist. Is this some kind of morning dream?!She giggled and playfully flicked my forehead. "I'm sorry for waking you up so early. You just look so peaceful when you sleep."I pulled her closer and kissed her without hesitation, wrapping my arms around her and feeling her warmth. Our passionate kiss deepened as I placed my hand on her neck.The way she responded assured me that this wasn't just a selfish dream. We both caught our breath after that intense kiss."Welcome home, Raine," I whispered, captivated by the glow in her eyes and the smile on her lips.My cousins were right. I was feeling lovesick at that time, which made me restless and irritable. When Raine whispe
Raine's POVAfter realizing who I am, they appeared shocked and turned pale. Placing the folder behind me, I directed my attention to the mayor and the manager."Who wants to explain this, hmm? If I'm seen as a money-grabbing businessman, then why did I receive an email last week about this issue that I apparently ignored?" I said.The manager looked at me, seemingly ready to fabricate lies. "Chairwoman, this isn't what it seems! We've been understaffed and busy for months. That's why the workers who should have been dealing with the waste ended up working in the factory," he defended.I gave him a disapproving look. "That's the most pathetic excuse I've ever heard. If you think I'm like other business owners who ignore such matters, you're mistaken. I never overlook issues like this, especially when human lives are at stake. Your feeble excuses won't deceive me, Owen. Not to someone like me!"I look to the mayor. "You will face th
Raine's POVAs he strolled with his wife and some security personnel, I greeted them with a wave and a smile. "Uncle Gustavo! I'm glad we ran into each other. Someone has been very rude to me," I mentioned.The woman behind me turned pale upon hearing me address him as an uncle. As I approached them, we shook hands and she looked me up and down, smiling."My goodness, you look refined and like a real businesswoman now. You don't seem as stressed as before. You've finally excelled in business!" I chuckled softly."Hello, auntie. You look as gorgeous as ever. By the way, is she your cousin?" I inquired. She glanced at the woman behind me, nodded, and appeared puzzled. I took her arm and calmly explained what she had done. She sighed."I apologize for my cousin's behavior," she says, acknowledging the need for a different approach."Let's discuss this over snacks. I have an important matter to discuss with uncle Gustavo. Can we
Raine's POVI noticed that Kai seemed a bit concerned about something. When he spoke those words, I felt a twinge of happiness. I was really hoping that he would open up to me and trust me."What did you mean by that? Are you keeping something from me?" I asked. He closed his eyes and forced a smile."What if I am, and what if it's something shocking or unacceptable to you? What would you do?" he responded.I turned around and leaned against the porch. I knew he wanted me to be honest, and I wanted to build a closer connection with him too.I've learned a lot from my past experiences, and I'm ready to accept any shocking truths at this point. He sighed."I'll talk to you when you come back. This is an important matter, and it's better to discuss it in person. For now, take care of everything, and I'll wait for your return." I simply nodded, but I also left him a word to let him know that he can trust me."I will alway
