Rayne's POVI waited and watched the door close behind Jessica and then open again and this time, a man was behind her. He was obviously a delivery guy"Good day ma'am" he smiled and I smiled back at him"I have a package for you" he stretched out his hands and handed me the flowers "Who is it from?" I asked in confusion cause I didn't know anyone who could be sending me flowers"There's a card on it ma'am. He said I should deliver it directly to you"I looked around and found a card stuck between the rose petals and I opened it. It was from Nathan. A small smile appeared on my lips"It's from my husband" I turned to Jessica with a smile then back to the delivery guy"Thank you for delivering this"The delivery guy smiled and nodded before turning to leave. "You're welcome, ma'am. Do have a great day" I closed the door behind him and turned to Jessica, who was still standing in the living room, a curious expression on her face."That's so sweet of your husband ma'am. What's the occa
Rayne's POVThis was all so cute and I felt loved and only Nathan could make me feel that way. He led me to the bathtub, which was filled with water that was the perfect temperature. I sank into the warm water and felt as the tension from the day began to melt away, soothed by the aromatic oils and the gentle strokes of his hands as he started massaging my shoulders.He took his time to knead my shoulders, getting rid of all the knots and tension in it and I couldn't help but let out a moan occasionally. I had truly needed this and I was glad that he had thought about it and did it on a whim for me.The bath took a long time but I wasn't complaining because I wanted to truly relax and feel the aromatic properties of the oils sink into my skin.After massaging, we just sat cuddled up in the bathtub, our hands running over each other's skin.Our bodies pressed together, skin against skin, the tension between us was as thick as the steam swirling around the bathroom. Our eyes locked an
Nathan's POVI opened my eyes and immediately closed them when the sun ray shining through the window shined directly into my eyes. I had forgotten to close the blinds. I squinted my eyes while they were still shut and then opened it at a go, blocking the effect of the sun ray from affecting my eyes again.I turned over to the other side of the bed and was surprised that Ryane wasn't there. Where could she possibly has gone? I asked myself but soon got my answer when I perceived fresh pancakes coming from the kitchen. I smiled, the thought of last night filling my mind. I had wanted her to feel loved and to know that I loved her be you measure and I hoped so hard that I had achieved that, removing any doubts that she had about my love for her.It was Saturday and that meant it was the day we get to eat Rayne's special pancakes. I rolled out of bed and made my way to the kitchen, my stomach growling in anticipation. Rayne was there, flipping pancakes with a spatula, her hair tied up
Rayne's POVTo say I was grateful was an understatement. The office was moving fine, my family bond was getting stronger and my marriage was blossoming.Ever since the first five employees resumed, we had quickly found the remaining four people to complete the vacant role and as usual I did an excellent job in selecting them because they were all hardworking and knew exactly why they were employed to work for me.We had meeting and after brainstorming we put our plans in motion to start looking for talents that we were going to manage. We were going for all sorts of artists as long as they had good potential."Set up the flyers across the streets, in public places where people would definitely see them" I instructed the head director.It was a hectic one but soon enough we had talents applying in large numbers for them to be managed by the agency but as usual I always used an iron hand in picking who was going to be associated with the company. I made sure that they were free from any
Rayne's POVI was deep in thought, barely even aware of the file in my hands that I was supposed to be going through.I needed to make a decision and it needed to be fast too. The file I was holding was a talent application and the artist was really good,even better than our face of the company and there was no way i could afford to not offer her a job.Her name was Emily.But the problem was that she was an abandoned talent from Star Struck and taking her in was very likely to cause some kind of trouble for her but after thinking for a bit I decided that I was going to take the chance. How bad can it actually get?I finished looking through the rest of the application and when it was time to send them to the company's recruiter, I picked out Emily's application"I'll take care of this one myself" I told Jake, the recruiter when he raised an eyebrow in question and I watched him pick up the other applications and leave. I had already made up my mind but the thought of asking Nathan f
Rayne's POV As fate would have it, Emily and I really hit it off as friends. She was a very sweet person and one time I had a lunch date with her and took Leo along with me, he took an instant liking to her too. She never stopped to mention how she was very grateful that I was willing to take her in, into the agency and I had lost count of how many times I told her to not mention it.It didn't take long for her to start revealing the truth about everything she passed through in the hands of Elliot while she was with his company. She revealed that the real reason she was dropped was because she refused to sleep with him like the rest of his talents that he makes do awful things just to secure a contract with him.My eyes widened in shock and disgust as Emily shared her story with me and some of other people she knew"He tried severally, always threatening to ruin my life and at a point I believed that was what everyone in the industry was doing and decided to do it too but my conscie
Rayne's POVThe next day the company signed an agreement with Emily and finally completed her process of being a member of the agency.Her contract was to last for three years and even though it was supposed to be a secret thing between us, somehow the media got a hold of it and soon enough it was all over the news because according to them, no one who loved their company would intentionally sign a talent that was dropped by star struck which I of course thought was bullshit. I was ready for whatever it was that was going to happen."Congratulations once again" I smiled at Emily. The paperwork was done and now we were all gathered in a private restaurant having a small celebration.Emily beamed with joy, she was so happy and I was glad that she was "Thank you, Rayne. This means everything to me. I won't let you down I promise."I hugged her tightly, feeling like a mother hen that needed to protect her "You're part of the family now, Emily. We're in this together okay?"She nodded, t
Rayne's POV With attention on us, we made sure to utilize it and the company was booming in all aspects and all of a sudden, we all had more work load cut out for us but we were not complaining.I was going through the pile of paperwork on my desk. I was looking at another letter from Elliot himself, asking to have a talk with me. This was the fifth letter in three days. I was about to drop in into the dust bin when my cellphone rang"Hello?" I asked impatiently into the phone, I hated that I had been distracted from my work "Good afternoon ma'am" it was Jessica, the secretary"What is it Jessica?""There's someone here to see you ma'am" she said casually but from the volume of her voice, I already sensed that something wasn't right because she was whispering"Who is it?""The CEO of Star Struck ma'am" her voice even went lower and I almost chuckled loudly"Tell him, I'm not available to see him" I said and ended the call.I knew that he wanted to talk about Emily but I wasn't going
