Chapter: Chapter 258“Wifey, we need to talk when I get back tonight, please stay awake.” Rosy had read the text Kendrick sent to her.Her heart clenched as those exact words brought back memories of the past. She began to panic unlike in the past when she was relaxed.It was the same words Kendrick had texted her back then and when he returned, he informed her about Cassandra carrying his child.“Could history be repeating itself?” Rosy asked herself.The babies began to cry and she quickly attended to them. They soon stopped crying and slept off quietly. She stood beside their bed watching them as they slept.For her, she has achieved a lot but the babies sleeping in front of her were her greatest achievement and she doesn't regret keeping them.The babies were already five months, and it hadn't been easy for her but she had told herself she was going to enjoy every bit of the process and be so involved in their growth.“Maam, do you need anything?” The house help specifically assigned to assist her tak

Chapter: Chapter 256Rosy opened her eyes gently and saw Kendrick staring at her. He had been up but was enjoying the view. Rosy hadn’t rested well since everything began and finally, she had slept well and Kendrick couldn’t stop watching her.“Why are you staring at me?” Rosy asked.“You are my wife so I can stare at you as long as I want. You look very beautiful when you sleep by the way.” Kendrick said.“Thank you. Why are you up this early?” Rosy asked.“You have forgotten so soon? Dr. Fred asked us to come see the baby today.” Kendrick reminded her happily.“What baby” Rosy joined her brows together, confused.“Wifey, you are pregnant, have you forgotten?” Kendrick said.Rosy sat up and then touched her stomach, “I thought I had given birth. Argh, it was just a dream.” She groaned tiredly.“You then forget because you do not have a protruding tummy and I love that. Can’t wait to see the surprises on the faces of everyone when they find out you have given birth.” Kendrick said.“They sure will be surp

Chapter: Chapter 255“How do you feel about yourself now?” Psychologist Hope asked Cassandra.“Better than when I was brought into the hospital,” Cassandra replied.“Your urges for sex?” She asked.“I can control it now. I didn’t fall for Mr. Wright when he came that last time, I even had the mind to tell him to walk out. I was surprised I could do that.” Cassandra explained happily.“What about what he did to you?”“I have forgiven him. He did that because of his selfish reasons and I just hope he gets to meet a psychologist like you to help him too.” Cassandra answered.Psychologist Hope signed and said, “I am very glad you have healed from everything he has done to you and everything you have gone through. Today is your last session and I will continue to be in touch with you.”“Don’t forget Cassandra, I will always be here to help you when you need help.” Psychologist Hope said.“I won’t, thank you,” Cassandra said as they hugged.Max had carried the baby and they were both waiting for her out. It was

Chapter: Chapter 254“It’s the biggest fashion show in Oxagon City and there are a lot of models here, including popular and up-and-coming. How do you feel meeting a lot of models today?” The lady hosting the red carpet asked Clara who was still hiding her identity.“I am so happy right now. This is my first time attending this fashion show because the last time I was supposed to come, something happened and I couldn’t but I am so happy to be here today.” She said.“That's so great to hear. You know, you came into the limelight a few months ago and you have gotten a lot of fans now and like we all know, there would be awards to be given today, if I may ask, what category do you think you would be nominated in?” The host asked.“Well, I don’t know as that is left for the judges and my fans to decide,” Clara answered.“Oh, that's an answer I didn’t expect. So the last one, who introduced you to modelling?” The host asked.“If I can clearly remember, no one did. I have loved models and always watched them si

Chapter: Chapter 130 - NightmareRayner's PovKen dropped me off at my apartment before he left. As soon as I shut the door, I fell on the floor. My head banged, my eyes hurt but I couldn't find the strength to stop crying.The pain was one I didn't think I would ever go through. Catching Daniel in the act was painful but the one with Nath was more painful even when I didn't see him in bed with Natasha.I cried until I slept off, then woke up and continued. My phone vibrated, and I tried to see who was calling me.I pressed the power button of my phone and the screen lit up. The light from the screen almost blinded my eyes and so I quickly shut my eyes.I opened it gently, opening and closing it immediately till I could finally open it very well. It was Mum who was calling. I was in the mood to talk to her so I gently locked my phone.I managed to stand up from the floor right behind the door where I had cried and fell asleep. I walked to the bathroom, took a cold bath and went to my room.I fell on the bed, putting

Chapter: Chapter 129 - Heartbroken"Miss Rayner, are you okay now?" Ken asked me.Ken had parked the car by the roadside and stepped out. I noticed he stood behind the car while I cried my eyes and heart out.My eyes became heavy, and not only that, it started to ache me, but I didn't stop crying. I asked myself a lot of questions that I couldn't answer.It felt like I had been betrayed. Like I had been used to while away time. I didn't have to think about it much; the lady Nath held was Natasha.The sight of how he held her hands so dearly flashed before my eyes, and that caused me to cry even harder.I was considering stopping when Ken came to the window and asked me if I was okay. I wiped the tears on my face, sniffed, and nodded slowly.Ken turned around and entered the driver's seat. He looked at me for a few seconds before he started the car."Where do you want to go Miss Rayner?" Ken asked.He didn't move the car till I responded. "I want to go back home," I informed him.He nodded and moved the car. The car rem

Chapter: Chapter 128 - Meeting NathanielRayner’s PovI lifted the upper part of my body from the bed immediately I woke up and it came with a banging sound on my head. I lay down again and shut my eyes. Perhaps, I got up too early, just right after I woke up.I took in deep breaths as I waited for the headache to relieve me a little so I could do my chores and get out to achieve my goal for the day. A smile broke out from my face as the memories of Nath and I came to my mind.The previous night, I had thought about what it would be like to talk with Nath again. I didn’t know for how long I was lost in thought but I eventually slept off while still thinking. I panicked because I didn’t know what it would be like to be in the same space with Nath again.My greatest fear was how he would react. Would Nath be calm so we could talk calmly or he would be aggressive toward me for wanting to divorce him which led to the accident that almost cost him his life?My thoughts all through the previous night ran wild. A lot of things goin

Chapter: Chapter 127 - CongratulationsRayner’s PovI entered the department with a bright smile on my face. The first thing on my mind was to record the huge sales I had made and then plan the next day. I felt it would be a long day for me so I needed to plan it.I input my sale on my profile and right before my eyes, my point from from seventy-eight to eighty-five. I blinked severally to be certain I wasn’t seeing the wrong numbers but I saw right. I jumped up and spun taking my time to move my leg as I further danced.Something that looked so impossible was something I was got with so much ease. I thanked Nath in my heart before I moved my chair backward to sit down. As I moved my head, the side of my eyes caught Christy's eyes on me. She looked at me with so much hatred that I could tell if she had the power, she would have killed me.I intentionally lifted my head, looked at her, and then gave her a bright smile revealing my teeth to her. She looked at me from head to toe with her lips tightly closed and then looked a

Chapter: Chapter 126 - ReferredRayner’s Pov“Welcome once again to Cee Enterprises Sir.” I greeted the man who sat opposite me.He beamed with a smile as he grinned from ear to ear, his legs were crossed with one resting on the other while he relaxed his back on the chair. I smartly put away all the business papers with me.It was time to know who the man was and who directed him to me. I also relaxed on the chair as I remembered the lesson Nath had taken me through some time ago. He requested a glass of water and rather than taking his orders, I called someone else to get the water.“So, you are Mrs Blackwood?” He asked as if surprised to see who gets to be called Mrs. Blackwood.I smiled while he also smiled. Because the person who I asked to get us water brought two bottles, I took my time to open mine, and sip from it before I replied to him.“Well, you do not have to be so surprised or do you think I am not worthy of being the wife of Nathaniel Blackwood?” I asked.I was being careful with my words.

Chapter: Chapter 125 - Mrs BlackwoodRayner’s Pov“Another day to face some ugly faces,” I muttered as I opened my eyes.I quickly got dressed and headed to work, the previous day's drama from Henry had made me get to the office late which I didn’t want to happen again.Henry kept calling me all through the night but when I didn’t take his call, he sent a text message that claimed he wanted to apologize for what he did but I didn’t care. He was out of my life and I didn’t want to hear from him anymore.I got to the office before everyone and I was glad I did. It was a good opportunity for me to sort out my files and the clients the delivery team had yet to send their gadgets. I began as soon as I sat down and before the next person entered, I was halfway done.Soon the office became full and everyone was busy. I could see the shock on Christy’s face when she saw me already at the office and even busy. I sent the clients that are yet to receive their gadgets a text. I wanted all my clients to get their good before I would

Chapter: Chapter 78Han and Betty were still sitting opposite each other, files piled high between them. Each had a folder in hand, their eyes darting back and forth as they compared details line by line.Betty leaned back and let out a long, heavy sigh."Tired already?" Han chuckled."We’ve been sitting here all day," she groaned, rolling her eyes.Always complaining."You signed up for this, remember?" "I don't remember.""Let me refresh your memory then." He laughed into his fist. "Remember when you begged to stay by Miss Jane’s side?""Oh, that?" She waved a hand dismissively. "I wasn't joking, but I didn't sign up for paperwork.""It’s a buy-one-get-one deal." Han scanned the desk. "Back to work."The room was hot, stuffy, packed with stacks of paper. But that tiny back-and-forth was all Han needed to wake up.They had been at Ravne Beauty since morning.It was almost funny. Ravne was getting dragged through the mud online, yet the elites were practically begging to invest.When you're good, you're

Chapter: Chapter 77The tyres of the car were yet to come to a halt when Henry Vale jumped out of the vehicle, leaving the driver's seat door wide open.He ran like someone being pursued. His big stomach bounced, following the rhythm of his run. He had still been in bed cuddling his wife, Kate Vale, when he got a call from the company stating that their system had been infected with a virus. A link had been sent through an official account, and one of the executives had clicked it without asking the technical team to verify it first. As a result, every device using the network at Vale Corp became affected.As he entered the company, he saw the look on the faces of every worker. Worry lines were boldly showing on their faces."Dad, thank goodness you are here now," Leo called out, panting as he stopped, his hands on his knees while catching his breath."What has been done? Has the technical unit been able to do anything?" Henry asked anxiously, his eyes moving around as if he had lost control of them.Leo

Chapter: Chapter 76Dravyn held a picture in his hand as he stared into it, a small smile plastered on his face.He was in his study at the mansion. He had been inside for a while, not because he was working, but because he wanted a quiet space to reflect and derive joy from the past. With every second that went by as he stared into the photo in his hand, his smile deepened. He wiped the surface of the photo and then continued staring."Soon," he muttered, "everything will be as I have always dreamed."He continued smiling at the picture until a knock sounded at his door. He sprang to his feet and quickly placed the photo into a box which had been open in front of him the whole time. With the box closed, he returned it to his safe before sitting down and announcing, "Come in," speaking loudly, his voice now relaxed.A maid dressed in the usual uniform entered. She first stared at him, but when she realised his eyes were on her, she quickly looked down. "Sir, Old Master Woods is downstairs waiting for you

Chapter: Chapter 75"Miss Betty...""Mister Han..."The workers echoed the names of Betty and Han from all corners of the building when they entered. It didn't take long before they were both stuck as all the workers had surrounded them, throwing questions their way."How is Miss Jane?""When is she coming back?""Is she okay?""How is she taking the hit?""Did Miss Jane say anything about starting another scent?"There were too many questions for either of them to respond to. Han stared at Betty to see if she had anything to say, but her eyes were tightly shut. He was about to touch her when she opened them suddenly and yelled."Enough!" She breathed out. "One question at a time," she added.Han could see the startled looks on the faces of everyone. He was also startled because he hadn't expected her to yell that way.He scoffed softly. 'Always the action lady,' he said in his heart."How is Miss Jane?" Christy asked, her eyes darting between Betty and Han."Miss Jane is fine and well," Betty breathed o

Chapter: Chapter 74Jane kept staring at Dravyn, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he quietly scooped a spoonful of ice cream and slipped it into his mouth."Jane, you should stop staring at me like that, or else I might choke," Dravyn said with a smile.But Jane wasn't in the mood for smiles. She needed answers. All she wanted to know was who was behind the smear campaign. "If you tell me, I will stop staring," she replied, her voice blunt but calm."Finish your bowl first." He pointed toward her ice cream bowl.Jane looked at the bowl in front of her, but her appetite was gone. Her brain was ready to know who was behind everything that had happened to Ravne Beauty in the past few days. "I lost my appetite," she replied.Dravyn's eyes snapped toward her. "You lost your appetite? Haha..." He laughed heartily. "This is so not the Jane from high school." He laughed even more.As he laughed, Jane found his laughter contagious, and she couldn't hold her firm expression anymore. Soon, she joined him. The o

Chapter: Chapter 73Jane curled up in her bed, both hands used as a pillow, her knees tucked to her chest, while her phone, which had been buzzing non-stop, lay above her head.For the past two days since the protest, Jane had stayed in her room. Dravyn and the others had come to check up on her from time to time, but she hadn't even spoken with them properly.Dravyn, on the other hand, had fed her consistently and stayed by her side until he received a call and got busy, returning later on.There was no use pushing anymore. She had done a lot for Vale Corp. She had served them with all her heart. But what did she get? A ruined reputation, and now, a smear agenda against her brand, a brand she had only just opened.So far, whoever was behind it was unknown, but she was certain Vale Corp had a hand in it, even if she couldn’t just accuse them.As she lay in bed, she had been thinking hard, recalling every single step that was taken during the making of The New. She had been involved in every single action
