Rayne's Revenge 55 - Settling differences
Nathan's POV I was angry. Too angry in fact.The argument between Rayne and I left a sour taste in my mouth but worse than that was the tension in the air. I really didn't want to fight but if she was going to act like she didn't see the issue with what I was saying then I believed it was a necessity after all. I had brought us here so we could just forget about the issue in New York for some weeks but she kept checking in on what is happening even when there was really no need and coupled with the fact that I knew of the news that awaits her, I wasn't liking it one bit.The sun beating my back was even more infuriating and no matter how much I tried to ease the heat, it wasn't working and my frustration grew even worse.I had planned this vacation for her to leave the stress of New York behind, but instead, it seemed like she had brought it with her.I understood her but I've always thought her manner of approach was wrong and I always told her that while still supporting her. I kn
Rayne's Revenge 56 - More problems
Rayne's POVIt seemed like a normal statement but I knew it was not because of the way that he said it.What truth was he talking about?"What do you mean by truthfully? Have we been lying to each other about something?" I raised an eyebrow at him and he sighed"Not lying per say but yes, I've been keeping something from you that I believe I shouldn't have"He took my hand in his and it took me a lot not to withdraw them because I didn't know what he was going to say next."What is it Nathan?"Another sigh escaped his lips, "I've been meaning to tell you but I've been so unsure" he was stalling and she knew it"Tell me already please. What is it?" I asked again. His hands left mine and I wished it was still on mine cause I was scared"It's about your company" he went silent and I remained silent too, waiting for him to tell me what the problem was once and for all"One of your investors is going to pull out soon" he said it as if he was so sure of his words and my heart felt like it w
Rayne's Revenge 57 - Realizations
Nathan's POVShe was misunderstanding my intent and I didn't like it one bit. She had to realize that the only reason why I kept the news away from her was because I didn't know how she was going to react and then telling her just proved why I should have kept it to myself so she could just find out by herself but I was trying to prepare her from the tremendous shock and pain she was going to fill when she had that her top investors were planning on pulling out but I doubt if I had achieved that. In fact, I might have just made it worse.I wondered where she had stepped out too. I contemplated chasing her but decided against it because I reasoned that she might really need to clear her head and think straight and also realize that I only have her best interest in mind.I sighed and rubbed my temples, feeling a headache coming on. These headaches had become a constant this days and it was crazy because we were supposed to be on a vacation but we still had to deal with stupid stuff lik
Rayne's Revenge 58 - Reconcilations
Rayne's POV"How are you baby?" I asked Leo while rubbing his head. I had not expected to hear his scream when I opened the door so I had been a bit taken aback by his hug. Nathan was on the couch looking at us. He was the only one I had expected to meet in the living room and I already decided that I was going to give him the silent treatment."I'm okay now that you're here Mummy. I thought you weren't going to come back" I tried to hold it in but it was impossible "I wasn't going to come back? How did you even come up with that idea?"He shrugged his shoulders hard "Well I heard you and Daddy having an argument earlier that's why"He had heard us. I had honestly believed that he was sleeping."Honey, it was simply an argument okay? And I genuinely thought that you were sleeping""I was trying to sleep but your voices were loud and I was scared"I pulled him to me and gave him a big hug. "I'm so sorry you heard that, baby. Mommy and Daddy were just having a little squabble and we lo
Rayne's Revenge 59 - Demands
Nathan's POVI watched the smile disappear from her face and my heart sank. Before she had asked me, I had already thought about it but I figured that it wasn't going to be that easy to just invest in her company given that we do not by any chance do the same type of job and it will surely be suspicious to the general public as to why I was willing to invest in her company,"You're not going to do it? But why?" I saw the hurt in her eyes and I wished to God that she would stop jumping into conclusions when things like this happen and believe that I have always had her best interest in mind.I reached for her hands but she took a step back and I sighed, thinking 'Not this again ""It's simple. I can't just give you some money because it's going to be traced back to us and I can't also just randomly invest in your company because people are going to start to wonder I was investing in an entertainment agency when I don't need it for anything tangible"Her face fell, and she looked at me
Rayne's Revenge 60 - Back Home
Rayne's POVOur vacation was finally over and we were going home the next day but unlike other vacations that I used to always feel sad but this time I wanted it to end so terribly.I was eager to get back to our normal life and to face the problems that had accumulated while we were away although we already had a part solution for it. To be honest, the vacation had been a rollercoaster of emotions, from the argument with Nathan to the decision to reveal our truth to the world. I was ready to go back to New York and see what it held for me on my arrival."I'm going to miss this place Mummy" I heard Leo's voice come from the entrance of my room door and I turned to him"Come on in baby" I smiled, inviting him in. I was packing up the last box and I couldn't wait to finish it up. "You're going to miss Morocco hmm?" I poked his sides playfully and he laughed"Yes especially the camels, Abdul and Sahara""Oh, I would miss them too" I agreed because our camel riding has been so good before
Rayne's Revenge 61 - Revealed secrets
Nathan's POVThe crowd of reporters was just the right amount that I needed, my personal assistant had done exactly what I told him to do.Everything I was doing was strategic. The responses, the smile and even down to the poses for the cameras. I knew that anyone watching would be in awe of how we were so confident and announcing our marriage by ourselves after keeping it a secret all these while"Why was this kept from the general public sir? As the CEO of Sterling company you know that the general public always wants to know what you're up to" another reporter shoved his mic in my face and I gave him a warning stare before taking the microphone from him "Well that's a question that I think my wife should be the one to answer" I turned to Rayne and she was already smiling, seeing that she understood what I was saying. The reporters wasted no time in pointing their mics in her direction"Please ma'am can you answer the question?""What was the question again?" Rayne asked, a smile p

Rayne's POVIt was the next morning after our arrival back to New York and the press meeting we held to announce our marriage to the public and the secret of me being Rayne Williams so I was going into the office today as Ryane and not Lila Adams. It was going to be awkward as hell I just knew it but I was going to make it clear to them that I was still the same person even though they knew me with another name.The drive to the office was slow. I had first of all dropped Leo off at school because he wanted to go so bad and see his friends. Something told me he really just wanted to talk about how the trip went for him and also talk their ear off with his unending talk about the camels and their potential children.I parked the car in my usual spot and got down. Nobody was in sight even when I got to the elevator but immediately the door opened at my office floor, it suddenly felt like everyone was there and I could feel the weight of everyone's gaze on me. I smiled at them all and m
