RAINE’S POV

I fixed my bra quickly, my cheeks burning. Despite this, I refused to let Zayne have the last word.

I shot him a cocky smirk. “Jealousy?”

Zayne clutched his chest, a mock pained expression on his face. “More like disgusted, irritated to the bone, you know I can go on and on about how I feel.”

“That still sounds just like jealousy.”

“Oh please! You’re too old for me,” he said with a laugh.

I rolled my eyes, says the boy who had a crush on me a few months ago. I was about to say more when Cyril suddenly scooped me into his arms like I weighed nothing.

“Let’s take this upstairs before we give the kid a heart attack.” Cyril winked at me.

As he carried me up the stairs, Zayne called out, “Yeah, yeah! Have fun, lovebirds! Don’t break the bed or anything!”

I paused mid-laugh and turned my head just in time to hear him mumble under his breath, “Man, they’re probably gonna be at it all night…”

I twisted around and yelled back, “I heard that, Zayne!”

He yelped, then started lau

  • Breaking Daddy's Rules   174. You Could Have Died.

    CYRIL’S POV“I…” she hesitated, unsure. “I… I had to set the house on fire…” Raine repeated the words.I could feel my pulse racing in my head, each throb felt like it was ringing in my ears. My anger was back two times, and I took a step back, throwing my hands in the air in frustration.“Jesus fucking Christ Raine!” I exclaimed. “You could’ve died.” She flinched, and I watched as the realization dawned on her the full gravity of what she'd done. Raine’s lips parted. “I…I knew Talon was going to release the video. I was scared, Cyril. I figured if I ran… if I just left… he’d have nothing to lose. But if I stayed… if he thought I was in danger, maybe he’d come back.” I stared at her in disbelief. “You were counting on that bastard to come back for you?” She nodded weakly. “I know it sounds crazy but I felt it’ll also help with your search for me. I thought… changing locations might give you a chance to find me. It was risky but…” “You gambled with your life.” I cut her off, my h

  • Breaking Daddy's Rules   173. What Am I To You, Raine. 

    RAINE’S POVI stood rooted to the spot, my eyes on Cyril, my heart thudding like it wanted to pull out my chest. He approached me slowly and as I searched his darkened gaze, I couldn’t tell if he was mad at me or just disappointed. I didn’t even know what I’d done. “I think it’s best if we talk about this now—privately.” He spoke, pausing a few steps away from me. I straightened just a bit, my spine snapped into place like armor sliding into position. What was this tension? I tore my gaze away from him then, eyes shifting to Chloe, then to Tyler.“Raine,” Cyril said again, gentler this time. When I turned back to him, his hand was stretched out. His now tender gaze dissolved the anger I felt within. Stepping forward, I reached out and took his hand. He guided me upstairs with a steady grip, one hand resting on my back. His touch was warm, like I might shatter if he pushed too hard.The silence was almost unbearable as we walked through the hallway. I kept sneaking glances at him,

    CYRIL’S POVThe next day, the doctor stood before me, a stern look on his face. My eyes followed him closely, as he checked Raine’s vitals. It had been his daily routine for the past two days and I was hoping he would have some good news this time. “Any improvements?” I inquired when he finally pulled away.“She’s stable now,” he began. “The medication has mostly cleared from her system. She's just… a little flighty.” “Flighty?” I repeated, my eyes narrowing. “She seems nervous. Distracted. She’s very alert, but still clearly shaken.” He stated, calmly. “It’s nothing serious. It’s quite common after a traumatic event.”I wasn’t surprised to hear this. She had every reason to be devastated. She’d been drugged, locked up, and dragged through the kind of nightmare that would level most grown men. I gave him a stiff nod and he excused himself. The minute the door shut behind him. I looked down at Raine who was sitting upright in the bed. Her light brown eyes were clouded and her hair

  • Breaking Daddy's Rules   171. You Are Safe Now. 

    CYRIL’S POV Raine’s scream ripped through the room before her eyes even opened. I was out of my seat in a second, hovering over the hospital bed. My heart raced as she thrashed around, her chest heaving, and her fingers pulling the sheets roughly. She looked like she’d woken up mid-nightmare and hell, maybe she had.“Raine,” I said firmly, grabbing her shoulders, “it’s me. You’re safe. You’re with me now, alright?”She froze, tilted her head and then stared at me wide-eyed. That look on her face? The fear in her eyes? It shattered something in me. “Cyril?” She rasped. No words came out afterwards and I watched her face crumpled as she broke down. Her sobs were so raw, they twisted my stomach into knots.“I thought I was going to die in there,” she cried, throwing herself into me like she needed to make sure I was real and it wasn’t a dream. “I thought I’d never see you again.” I held her tight, burying my face in her hair. Her skin was still warm. Her breath hitched in short gasp

  • Breaking Daddy's Rules   170: Want To Play It Safe?

    CYRIL’S POVThe smoke was so fucking thick, and it almost suffocated me as I headed towards the falling structure. The roof was caving in places, as the heat from the fire licked at my skin. I didn’t flinch. My only focus was Raine, she had to be in there and I was hanging on to hope that I was going to find her. I stormed past the men, not bothering to waste anymore time, but before I could get too close; a few of them stepped in front of me.“Sir, wait just give us a second,” one of them said. “The fire’s burning too quickly, we think it’s best to survey the structure's integrity before anyone goes in.” I stared at him like he’d lost his damn mind.“I don’t have time for this shit,” I snapped. “My woman is in there.”“Boss…”“No,” I growled, already walking forward. “You want to play it safe? You stay here. I’m going to get her.”They called after me, their boots scrambling behind me, but I didn’t give a fuck.The heat hit me like a brick wall. I ducked under a fallen beam, flame

  • Breaking Daddy's Rules   169: Won’t See This Coming. 

    CYRIL’S POVI walked into the office with a headache, eyes tht hurt like hell, and a fire in my chest that hadn’t gone out in days. Raine was still trapped in some place I couldn’t fucking reach, and even though I had men on it, I hated sitting around waiting like a helpless fool.I managed to pull myself out of my thoughts and as I walked into the conference room, the doors closed behind me with a heavy thud. I didn’t bother to sit.“Let’s get started,” I said, my voice flat but it also carried this edge to it that made everyone aware that I didn’t come here to mess around.I glanced around the table and noticed as Jamie nodded from the far end of the table. Peter and the rest of the tech crew had their laptops open, Kyle and his right-hand man were leaning against the glass with their arms crossed over their chest, looking like they meant business. Silvan sat with his usual poker face, but I could tell he was tense. “We need to buy as much stock from Harken Media as humanly possi
