DAVINA’S POVI couldn't believe I was paired with Raiden in this cooking competition. Seeing him again stirred up some old feelings and it was a bit awkward at first. However, as we began cooking, we found ourselves chatting and laughing like old times. I must admit, Raiden was a great cook, and I was impressed with his skills in the kitchen.We had to cook a three-course meal, and we were currently in the second round. The first course was an appetizer, and we had already prepared a delicious shrimp cocktail. For the second course, we had to prepare a pasta dish, and we were working on it together."So, Davina, what's new in your life?" Raiden asked, breaking the silence."Not much," I replied, stirring the pasta in the pot. "I've been busy with work mostly.""I see," he said. "Well, I've been keeping myself busy too. I started my own business recently.""That's great," I said, genuinely happy for him. "What kind of business is it?""It's a catering business," he said. "I figured with
DAVINA’S POVAs we walked towards the hotel, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over me. The cooking competition had been tough, but I was glad we had made it through all the rounds successfully. Raiden and I had even managed to work together without any arguments or disagreements."So, we did it," I said to Raiden as we walked.He chuckled. "Yeah, we did. Who knew we could make such a great team?"I rolled my eyes playfully. "Don't get too ahead of yourself, Raiden. We still have to wait for the results."Raiden smiled. "True, but I have a feeling we did pretty well."As we reached the hotel lobby, Raiden and I exchanged a knowing look. We both knew that our partnership in the competition had brought us closer together, and that we had made progress towards being friends again.As we walked up to the hotel, I couldn't help but feel grateful for Raiden's company. He had been an amazing partner throughout the competition and I was glad we had finally buried the hatchet. We
DAVINA’S POVI stormed out of my hotel room, my heart racing with anger and frustration. I couldn't believe Raiden had tried to ruin our stay in Dubai. I felt so naive for thinking he had changed and that we could be friends.As I marched down the hallway towards the elevator, I tried to gather my thoughts and calm myself down. But the closer I got to the elevator, the angrier I became. I didn't care if Raiden was the hotel owner, I was going to confront him and let him know how I felt.When I reached the lobby, I saw Raiden sitting in one of the plush armchairs by the fireplace, scrolling through his phone. My anger boiled over, and I marched straight up to him."What the hell were you thinking?" I demanded, my voice echoing through the lobby.Raiden looked up at me, his expression a mix of surprise and confusion. "What are you talking about?" he asked, putting his phone down on the table next to him."You know exactly what I'm talking about," I snapped. "Trying to sabotage our stay a
RAIDEN’S POVI can't believe what Davina said to me. It hurt so much. I never intended to sabotage her or Ignacio's stay at the hotel. I just wanted to win the competition fair and square. But now, she thinks of me as some kind of villain who's trying to ruin her relationship with Ignacio.I never realized how much my actions could affect someone else. All I wanted was to prove my worth as a chef, but I ended up hurting someone in the process. Maybe I should have just focused on my cooking and not let my competitive nature get the best of me.But still, I can't shake off the feeling of betrayal. I thought we had become friends during the competition. We laughed and cooked together, and I was even starting to like her. But now, it seems like all of that was just a facade.Maybe I should reach out to her and try to explain myself. Maybe she'll understand and forgive me. Or maybe it's better if I just let it go and move on. It's clear that she doesn't want anything to do with me.I'll jus
DAVINA’S POVAs I lay in bed, I couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. I knew I had hurt Raiden with my words, but I had to choose my happiness over his. It was a tough decision, but it had to be made.I replayed the argument in my head over and over again, thinking of all the things I could have said differently. I knew I couldn't change what happened, but I wished I had been more compassionate towards Raiden's feelings.But then again, what choice did I have? I couldn't stay with someone who constantly tried to sabotage my happiness, and I knew that Ignacio was the one I wanted to be with. I had to prioritize my relationship with Ignacio over anything else, even if it meant losing a friend in the process.I knew that I had to move on and let go of the past, but it was easier said than done. I still felt guilty and ashamed of the way I treated Raiden. I hoped that with time, he would forgive me and we could go back to being friends.But for now, I had to focus on my relationship wi
Raiden’s POVAs I packed my bags to leave Dubai, Karla and I sat in the hotel room and reminisced about our adventure."I can't believe we did all of that in just one week," Karla said with a laugh. "I don't think I've ever been this exhausted."I chuckled. "I know, right? But it was definitely worth it."Karla nodded in agreement. "So, are you going to miss Dubai?"I shrugged. "Yeah, I guess so. But I'm ready to go back home and get back to work."Karla rolled her eyes playfully. "Work, work, work. You need to learn to live a little."I raised an eyebrow. "Says the woman who made me go skydiving and bungee jumping in the same week."Karla laughed. "Hey, you loved it."I smirked. "Yeah, I did."We continued to talk and laugh until it was time to head to the airport. As we left the hotel room, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of sadness. Despite all the chaos and drama with Davina, I had really enjoyed my time in Dubai.As we walked through the airport, Karla nudged me with her elbow.
DAVINA’S POVI was sitting in the cafe, sipping on my latte and scrolling through my phone when I saw Mira Rose walk in with the newspaper in her hand. She came over to my table and said, "Girl, have you seen this?"She unfolded the newspaper and showed me the front page with the headline that read, "#MultibillionaireGirlfriend." The picture below it was of Raiden with Karla, arm in arm, smiling at the camera. I felt a pang of jealousy in my chest and I couldn't help but feel hurt that he had moved on so quickly.I tried to keep a straight face and nonchalantly responded, "Oh, that. Yeah, I saw it."I couldn't believe it. My heart sank as I saw the paparazzi photos of Raiden and Karla. I tried to play it off like it didn't bother me, but deep down, I was jealous. How could he move on so quickly after everything we had been through?Mira Rose could tell something was wrong, and she handed me the newspaper with a concerned look on her face. "Davina, what's going on? Is everything okay?"
DAVINA’S POVAs I sit here in my quiet and empty house, I can't help but feel guilty for how I treated Ignacio earlier. He was just trying to be there for me and show me that he cares, but instead of being grateful, I lashed out at him.I know the paparazzi photos of Raiden with that woman shouldn't bother me, but they do. I can't help but feel jealous and insecure, especially since Raiden and I have been having some issues lately. And now, to see him with another woman, it just makes me feel like I wasn't enough for him.But that's not fair to Ignacio. He's been nothing but supportive of me since we started dating. He's always there when I need him, always trying to make me feel better. And here I am, taking my frustration out on him.I need to apologize to him. I need to make it right. I can't keep hurting the people who care about me. It's not fair to them, and it's not fair to me either. I don't want to be the kind of person who pushes people away and hurts those who love me.So t
