Rayners POV

It was the weekend and I didn't want to stay at my place so I concluded I was going to spend it with Mom. It's been a while since I spent time with her after all.

Before now I always spent the weekend with Mom but when Daniel came into the picture, I was either busy with work or at Daniel's place now that he is out of the picture, I will return to my schedule of spending the weekend with Mom.

The week had started on a good note for me until I saw the cheaters cheating on me. I signed three contracts with my clients and the one I signed on behalf of Director Kim.

I explained to Director Kim what transpired between the client and and he was beyond grateful to me to the dismay of Katherine who had wanted him to scold me again he also advised me to deal with whatever issue I had during the weekend.

I stepped down from the car. I boarded a cab to take me to Mom's place. Immediately I stepped down, and the fresh natural air supplied by the many trees in the surroundings greeted me.

If there is anything I love about Mom's place is the quietness and the many trees in every compound. If you are not conversant with this place, you will think nobody lives here and people don't believe this place exists in Diavolo too.

I paid the cab driver as I dragged my little bag out. I was staying for the weekend. The thought of Daniel and the picture of him riding Maci kept flooding my thoughts and I kept feeling sad speaking to the stranger harshly.

I pulled my phone from my bag and dialed Betty's number. Betty has been my best friend since kindergarten. I wanted her to come to spend the weekend at Mom's place too so it would be more lively and I would be occupied.

“Hello best friend,” I said happily into the phone as she answered.

“Hello,” A thick masculine voice replied to me. “I will pass the phone to her now,” he added.

I pulled the phone from my ear to check the caller, perhaps I had called someone else but it was Betty's line I had dialed.

Betty didn't tell me she was in a relationship, I know she flirted a lot but none of them has ever answered her call on her behalf. This person has to be very important for him to have done this.

“Hello. Rayner,” I heard Betty's sharp voice finally.

“Betty, are you okay? What's going on?” I couldn't wait to question her.

“I am okay, why did you ask?” She sounded confused with my question.

“Betty, who is that guy?” I asked almost in a whisper.

“Oh. That's Jeff, my boyfriend,” she replied.

“Your what?!

“My boyfriend, she said again.

“For how long Betty?” I inquired. I felt betrayed by even my best friend, she had a boyfriend and never told me.

“For five months now,” she dropped and my ears rang a bell.

“Betty, five months? When were you going to tell me?” I asked weakly as I managed to drag myself to the chair outside Mom's place.

“I am sorry Ray. I didn't want you to know because I wanted to be sure he is serious, I never meant to hide it from you,” she explained, her voice was no longer sharp as it was.

Betty was right, there was no need to tell me if she wasn't sure. Her relationships in the past few years always ended after two to three months and I was always sad seeing her cry so hard because she was already attached.

“Is okay. You are my best friend I can't hold it against you.” I finally spoke up after some minutes of silence.

“Thank you, Rayner. Why did you call?”

“I came to spend the weekend at mom's place and I thought to call you to come too.”

“You know I can't now. What about that scumbag called Daniel?” she suddenly asked and I felt cold and hot on hearing his name.

“Don't ask me, Betty.” I warned her.

I had told her what happened in a chat and she was so mad about it that if Daniel had been in front of her that minute she would have been called a murderer by now.

“But you should go out so you can meet new people. It's Daniel's loss,” she advised me.

“I will just focus on my job right now and forget about being in any relationship or marriage till I have achieved my career goal.”

“Ray, don't let Daniel's betrayal stop you from finding true happiness for yourself, forgive him and….”

I didn't let her finish what she wanted to say before cutting her.

“Enjoy the weekend with your boyfriend. He is waiting for you, bye.” I hung up without waiting for her response.

I breathed in and out before entering Mom's place, she was on a call and screaming at whoever the person was.

“We don't need you in our lives. Leave us alone,” she added to the warning she had given the person already.

Over the years, Mom had been the only parent I knew. Everyone said I looked so much like her because I had all of her features except her hair. I have very black hair and hers was gray.

I remember when I was in college, I summoned the courage to ask her where I got the black hair color from.

“Mom. Where did I get this black color hair from?”

“From your Dad. Don't ask me where he is, I don't know either.” she had told me as if she knew that would be my next question.

After that, I never thought about Dad again since the only person who could tell me about him had no idea either.

Mom turned when she noticed me, she removed the phone from her ears surprised I was beside her. When she got herself back, she said, “Get me a glass of water.”

Her eyes were red and green vein lines were showing on her neck because she was screaming. Quickly, I ran to the kitchen to get her water.

“Please, stay away from us. Everything has been going smoothly since you left.” Mom said to the person this time her voice was low.

I stretched the cup toward her and she gulped its content in one go. I wasn't sure if she had ended the call because I could see the minutes still counting.

She breathed out heavily before looking at me. “Why are you here? She inquired.

What? Did mom just ask me to go get water for her so she could get more strength just to ask me this? I wanted to laugh but mom wasn't happy and I didn't want to annoy her more so I controlled myself.

“I came to spend the weekend with you or can't I anymore?” I pouted.

“No, you can't. You should be with a man and not me. You should be married and be spending the weekend with your husband while your kids spend the weekend with me,” she complained.

“Mom, marriage is the last thing on my mind. I don't want to be looked down on by anyone. I will just pursue my dream of being the Chief Operating Officer in my company when I get that I will think of marriage.” I explained to her.

“I wish I never told you what happened between your father and me.” Mom stood up from the chair she was sitting in and walked to me.

“You need love to go through whatever you are going through now. Let go and you will find the happiness you so much desire,” she covered my hands with hers.

“Mom, I never told you I am not happy. I am happy with myself and my life. I don't want to get married till I get what I want,” I told her again.

Mom left my hand and walked backward then she said angrily in a way I have never seen her.

“Get out of my house. Don't ever come to see me or call me if you are not married,” she walked to where I had left my bag, picked it up, and matched to the door with it.

She held the door and screamed at me, “Now leave my house.”

I felt numb and mute. No words came to my mind to say and quietly, I walked out of the door. I stared at her when I was out and she slumped the door on my face.

Is Mom truly serious? Hot tears fell from my eyes as I bent down to pick up my bag.

    Rayner'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

    "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

    Rayner’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

    Rayner’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

    Rayner’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. I didn’t w

    Rayner’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
