Kai's POV
Around seven in the morning, Raine’s secretary arrived and I already knew that. Raine messaged me that Macey is on her way.
She gives me a personal phone number that I can use to contact her and no one else should know that number.
George opens the door for her and we get inside the house after. Macey gave me the folder as soon as we were all seated.
"I don't know why she would do that and I didn't agree to it, honestly. But as her bodyguard and secretary, I have no choice but to agree and just catch her when she needs me to. I don’t know what kind of man you are but I am giving you a warning," Macey coldly stated and her glances were deathly.
I feel like she will eat me any moment that she gets the chance. I cross my legs and look at the marriage certificate. She filled in all the necessary details on her side.
"I don't know what she really thinks but if she can help me stay as far as I can from Emma, then I'll gladly cooperate with her. I don't know what you're talking about but I’m not a bad guy, Macey," I remark, looking at her coldly.
My eyes met her and we tried to dominate each other’s space and see who was the alpha between the two of us. She looks away after a minute. I grab the pen in the middle of the table and start writing my details on this piece of paper.
After a few minutes, I handed the folder to her. “I will go ahead. I need to go back to her side as soon as possible. By the way, ma’am Raine says that she’s inviting you for dinner in her mansion tonight around 7 in the evening.”
She is talking while walking away. As soon as she said the last word, she exited the room. George looks at me and I know he’ll also try to convince me to stop this contract between me and Raine. I raise my hand and George sighs.
"Are you tempted or curious because of what she said? Don’t tell me you prefer virgin women now," he asks. I laugh and look at him. That’s what he really thought, huh?
I pin my elbow on the backrest of the couch and nestle my chin on my palm. “No. With those eyes, I wonder what kind of hell she will bring to Emma. You know how I suffered in that bitch’s hand. I’ve been trying to stay away from her because I know he will ruin me completely if I continue to be their company’s talent. You knew what I meant,” I stated.
George looks at me and I know he sees how serious I am. I never took an interest in girls as deeply as I ever felt for that heiress. It’s not bad if I marry the richest woman on this continent. I stand up and look at my manager.
“Let’s prepare instead. We have a press conference at the hotel at nine; we shouldn’t be late,” I stated.
George sighed and nodded. We arrive at the hotel around 8:47 and there is some press that is waiting outside and keeps on taking pictures and footage as we head to the venue hall that George booked for today.
I already prepared myself for the possible actions that Emma will take after she learns of my decision. I wonder what Raine will do when she finally realizes how ruthless Emma was.
If she only knows the truth, I know she’ll drop the thought of taking me as the father of her children because that idea is clearly absurd.
“Good morning, everyone. Thank you so much for being here,” George says. I grab my microphone and speak out.
“I’m glad that everyone was here and spared their time to listen to my announcement regarding the rumors that are circulating online. I know everyone is worried about my career situation after my 3-month hiatus. I know that all of you were aware that my contract with Harper Entertainment ended last August,” I opened up and continued. I calmed myself and erased that thought. This is my only chance to escape.
"I’ve been reflecting for the past few months, and I'm grateful for how H.E. helped me throughout my career, but I've made a decision. I know this might raise some doubts about my future projects, but I assure everyone that I'll still be doing what I love. You will still see me singing, dancing, and acting. Yes, I won't sign another 2-year contract with H.E."
The reporters were surprised by what they heard and I know most of them were against or worried that changing a company would be the downfall of my career but that’s okay.
I can start with the second phase of my plans. “I am happy to announce that I am now a signed artist for one of the biggest and most famous entertainment agencies. I signed a contract with El Greco Entertainment and they will be in charge of my projects from here on,” I declared.
They are more surprised by what I said. I simply smiled and showed them that there was nothing fishy about the decision that I made.
“Everyone can now have the chance to ask questions.”
After George said those words, I was bombarded with the same questions. They ask what made me change my mind and if I’m not worried that this might be the downfall of my career.
I peacefully answer and hope that I won’t slip a thing. “One more question from us, Kai. It was said that you were rumored to be dating the youngest and most famous chairwoman of the El Greco Empire. Is it true, or is it basically another dating rumor of yours?” she asks.
I smiled and showed my other finger. Macey leaves a ring box on my table before leaving my house. When I opened it, I wasn’t surprised when I saw a ring inside. I decided to put it on.
“Wait, is that a wedding ring, Kai?” another reporter asks
“That dating rumor is not just a rumor. I’m already married and yes, my wife is Raine El Greco,” I announced.
They all gasp, and their cameras flash, and I know they’re focusing the shots on my wedding ring. I know this is not part of what I should’ve announced today but let’s see if Raine can tolerate such an attitude from me.
I’ll detest her arrogance and the power that she’s talking about. They start asking questions. I’ll tell Raine to watch this conference because I know the press will tail her for an ambush interview. The conference was wrapped up after 30 minutes.
I went into my room in this hotel and I wasn’t surprised when Emma called me a dozen times. I know that the conference was live on different social media platforms and her minions had surely informed her. I grab my phone and wait for her next call and that happens in just a few seconds.
I swiped the answer button and put it on my speakerphone. "No! How dare you!" she roared. I can tell that she’s damn mad.
“Didn’t I tell you? You will never have me, Emma Harper.”
Raine's POVI close the laptop and smirk. Macey arrived after registering our marriage contract. I used my connections and put another date on the paper.We got married last month and we want to make sure that this situation has a tight lid. I know things will be hard from now on and I’m still walking with thin eyes but I can do this. I will protect Kai while I have the chance."This time, I will make sure that you will be happy…"Time passes until I decide to go home at four in the afternoon and Macey is busy tailing Emma and making sure that she won’t try to reach out to my husband.I told her that because I knew Emma would act desperately. Her next target will be me. At the lobby, I wasn’t surprised when press people ran towards me. The security team surrounded me.“Good afternoon, Ms. El Greco. Is it true that you are married to Kai Montefalcon?” one of the reporters asksI smiled and raised my finger. My index finger pointed to the wedding and engagement rings that we will be usi
Kai's POV I look at her but for some reason I’m not offended. I look at her expression and I’m enjoying the different emotions she’s showing with every snap of a second. She laughs and in seconds, her expression becomes serious. "Really? Why not? I'm a businessman at heart and mind," she says, using that scary and monotone voice. Emma smirked, and from the glance she gave me, I knew what she meant by that. Damn it! Emma grabs something in her purse and it’s her checkbook. She is ready to write whatever amount Raine will say. “Two billion dollars plus! You, Mrs. Harper, will be my maid for a year. If you can give me that, then Kai Montefalcon will be yours again,” she says in such a blunt and cold tone. I was about to react when I saw that lying gesture she made behind her back. Emma’s expression is priceless. Her eyes widened, her lips were agape, and anger was in her pupils. I almost burst out in laug
Raine's POVI look at him and he's freaking serious. I wasn’t expecting that because we’re supposed to be in an argument but I was the only one who raised the white flag first. I sighed."I want to go home and drink something. I've been stressed lately. You know my address anyway," I replied.I put on my seatbelt again and ignored that grin he made. I think the thin ice that I’ve been walking on will have cracks anytime soon and I’ll fall into cold water in the least amount of time I expected. I lean on the chair and massage my shoulder.I close my eyes and try to ignore his presence just to hide the answer that almost slips in my tongue. I almost and excitedly say yes!I should remember who I am and I’m just merely a peasant that Kai helps when I need a helping hand. I shouldn't have dreamed of being with him, not because I’m fucking rich in this dream.Yes, I feel like i
Kai's POVI am standing by the window, awaiting my wife's decision. I recall how I had to calm myself down last night when I was changing her.The sensation of her soft skin on my fingers was overwhelming, but I managed to compose myself. However, just thinking about it now is making me feel hot.I shake my head, trying to banish the image from my mind. I take a look at her phone, ready to listen, but Raine's unexpected message shocks me.“Ahh… not there. Uhn! Wait! I am answering you—ahh!”As her phone hit my feet, I let out a groan. She was making super-erotic sounds to tease Emma, which I found to be bullshit.I crouched down and placed my hands at the back of my neck, biting my lower lip while I rocked myself. For a moment, I wondered how sexy she could be while I rocked her, but I quickly erased that thought and closed my eyes.“Oh, that’s the spot! Sorry, just call later, bye
Raine's POVI feel as though my mind is enveloped in a haze. My thoughts are scattered, and all I can perceive is the comforting warmth and delightful tingling sensations that his touch and kisses evoke in me.I greatly enjoy it. However, my attention is abruptly brought back to reality by the sound of a bell, but Kai quickly silences me by covering my lips.I gaze at him. He smirks and places his finger on his lips, gesturing for me to be quiet. Despite my best efforts to resist, I can't help but be drawn in by his alluring demeanor. My body quivers with pleasure as he teases my nipple with his tongue.Kai’s hand teases the other and pinches it as his teeth softly bite my other nipple. I look at the ceiling and my head feels like it’s getting blank.My instinct as a woman gets over my head. “You’ve got wet,” he whispers in my ears.As his finger touched me, a blush crept up my face, and I insti
Kai's POVI wasn’t surprised when I heard Emma’s voice. She’s trying to put in the last code that I used. “Did she always do this?” Raine whispers in my ears. I sighed and nodded. I was supposed to open the door when my wife stopped me.“You two, go and hide. I will deal with her myself. Go.”Raine pushes me and George. My manager drags me into a corner where we can hide and witness their fight. Raine opens the door and suddenly jumps to the other side.My eyes widened when we saw that the carpet on the doorway had melted. Emma just threw an acid, as if she knew that Raine would be the one who opened the door! I was about to come out when George stopped me. I can’t believe she would do that!“That was close. You almost ruined my beauty!” Raine says.Emma grabs something again in her bag and it’s another bottle. Raine grabbed her wrist and took the acid bottle
Raine's POV We've already been on the road for 10 minutes and at first I thought it was just a coincidence. That blue BMW might be dashing but I know it’s us that they’re following. Kai has been overtaking four cars and yet they’re still behind us. I grab my phone and call someone who is probably monitoring us. "Make sure to keep that fucking BMW from us," I stated. Kai was looking at me and I pointed to the road. I want him to look forward instead of looking at me. He did. I drop the call and look at the rearview mirror. I wasn’t surprised when I noticed a car that was chasing us as well. I know that plate number well. They started moving closer to the BMW and I heard gunshots after that. Kai was about to look back when I stopped him. I was right. Emma will act rashly and I’m glad that I’ve taken precautionary measures before things go south. We can’t see the car from behind us. I know my men will turn over those scumbags to the police station. I sighed and leaned my back into t
Kai's POV I must admit, I have no idea what kind of person I ended up marrying. She's different from the others who were attracted to me because of my looks and popularity. However, there's something about her that feels off. Despite her words over the phone, my wife remains a complete stranger to me. I feel the need to keep a close watch on her to uncover any hidden truths. Raine pushed me slightly and wiped the blood from her lips. Angrily, she demanded, "What was that for?!" I scoffed and glared back at her. "Don't think for a second that I agreed to this just because I needed someone to use against Emma. You're mistaken. Let me make one thing clear, Raine. I didn't become a celebrity for no reason. And I'm not a pushover either," I said, stopping abruptly as Raine covered my mouth with her palm. She glared at me as well. "I don't care if you're bitter, Kai Montefalcon, but I don't want my first experience to be a bitter one. Keep quiet and I'll fulfill my promise. I don't need
