Rayne's POVWhen the notification on my laptop rang out and I saw that it was a response from Elliot, I immediately sent it into the deleted folder because I was not going to waste my time in reading whatever nonsense he had written to me. All I know was that I had already told him what I wanted to and everything else depended on his next line of action but knowing him like the back of my palm, I already knew what his answer was going to be but what he didn't realize was that this was a game that he was already destined to lose.I leaned back in my chair, a smirk spreading across my face. I had expected as much from Elliot - all talk and no real action because he was always in his head and never in reality. I had called his bluff, and now he was scrambling to save face but he didn't know that it was already too late for him to do that.He thought his little email which I was sure was filled with empty threats but I wasn't worried. I had already set the wheels in motion, and nothing co

Rayne's POVIt was the weekend to the Tuesday that was to be the day of the presentation at Star Struck and everyone had already done their part and we were all now waiting for that day and also praying and hoping that Kenneth and his team at Star Struck did their jobs right for the plan to work just as we expected it to.To ease my mind off things, I decided to make Nathan stay home so we could finally have our family time because we hadn't had time for it for such a long time as everyone has been busy with work and even Leo had been busy with guitar rehearsals every Saturday and he was one of the best players in his school."Good morning my love" I felt Nathan's presence in the kitchen even before he spoke and wrapped his hands around me."Good morning, beautiful," he whispered, his warm breath on my ear sending shivers down my spine. "What's cooking?"I smiled, turning around to face him. "Just some pancakes and eggs as usual. I thought we could have a family breakfast today, since

Elliot's POVMy eyes widened in shock when I saw what was playing on the screen. Just a minute ago it had been the presentation that I had worked hard on to make sure I got this deal and suddenly it was a clip of me with Stacy, one of my ex talents and how I was trying to persuade her to sleep with me in order for her to start getting paid big checks and I cringed as I watched myself. Where had the video come out from and what the hell was going on?I looked around and everyone was staring from the screen to me and then back at the screen with shock on their faces. I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me.Who must have done this?My mind raced as I tried to comprehend the situation. Who could have done this to me? I thought I had covered my tracks, I thought I had deleted all evidence of my wrongdoings. But clearly, I was wrong.I scanned the room, trying to find the person responsible for this betrayal but everyone in the room looked too stunned to speak, meaning that they were

Rayne's POVI slept on the suggestion of a vacation and I woke up thinking that it was actually a very brilliant idea. I had worked hard for the back months and I had finally achieved something that I had set my heart and mind completely to so it was only right that I celebrated it in a big way.Zara had already set breakfast on the table by the time I got down and not long after, Nathan who I had left sleeping came down, freshly showered and looking as good as usual in his business suit.He kissed me on the cheek and sat down for breakfast"So I'm hoping you've thought about our conversation yesterday night and now see reason why we have to go on this vacation right?" He asked while he chewed and I frowned at him for that"Hey, no pressure or anything," I said, laughing and rolling my eyes. "But yes, I did think about it, and I agree. A vacation sounds amazing right about now."Nathan grinned, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "I knew you'd see it my way. So, I've already started m

Nathan's POVWe finished packing quicker than expected and then we decided to just spend some time together before going to bed. Leo had dosed off on my laps and Rayne and I spent the night talking while we took the ice cream that she had brought home.I watched her as she told me about her childhood and how she misses her father and I just stared at her, unable to wrap my head around how she could be this beautiful.This trip was for her to get some rest but most importantly, it was for her to be away from here when the problem that was right at her door breaks in. Before she came home that night after her party to celebrate her win against Elliot. I had gotten a call from my private investigator and he had told me that Elliott didn't plan on just accepting defeat and I wasn't surprised but what he said next surprised me so much, I couldn't say anything for a whole minute.Rayne's most top investors were planning pulling out of her company and it was because of the smear campaign Ell
