Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT: Reunion With Childhood Sweetheart
The drive back to the Retroferd estate was long and quiet. Raina sat in the backseat of the black SUV, staring out the window as the other cars on the road blurred. Her mind was a mess as she hadn't fully recovered and meeting Lorenzo had taken every bit of her strength. She felt like a battery that was completely drained and the only thing she wanted right now was to crawl into her soft bed, pull the covers over her head, and sleep for a thousand years. Pascal pulled the car up to the front of the massive villa. The guards at the gate nodded as they passed, their guns glinting under the sunlight. Raina didn’t wait for Pascal to come around to open her door, she pushed the door open and stepped out, her legs feeling heavy as they touched the ground."I'm going to rest in my room, Pascal," Raina said without looking back. "Please help me to inform Maxton not to bother me for dinner… I will eat when I wake up""Yes, Miss Raina," Pascal replied with a calm voice.But his expression was
Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN: You Are Safer With Maxton
"I am fine, Lorenzo…Truly," she said, trying to calm the storm in his eyes. "Maxton is... he is a lot of things, but he isn't Michael and I can handle him. But what about you? Are you certain that our father doesn't suspect you? If he finds out you were the one behind the missing goods, he will kill you…He doesn't care that you are his son."Raina said with a worried expression,her eyes searching Lorenzo’s face. The room instantly became quiet as she was waiting for him to say something.“Heh,” Lorenzo chuckled, a low sound that didn't reach his eyes and crossed his arms over his chest. "Don’t worry about me, Rain. I have lived in that man’s house for twenty-five years and I know how his mind works. I already have everything planned out…So he will see exactly what I want him to see."Before Raina could ask another question, Lorenzo pulled a second phone from his inner jacket pocket. He looked at Raina and put a finger to his lips, telling her to be silent. His face changed instantly
Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX: The Stubborn Bodyguard
The black SUV pulled to a smooth stop in front of Sunset Orphanage. The rusted iron gates looked the same as they had years ago just like she remembered.To anyone else, this was just a crumbling building for kids who had nowhere to go. To Raina, it was the only place in the city that felt like home and held lots of memories of her childhood, when she followed her mother for charity events.She always wondered how a person as kind and angelic like her mother, ended up with a demon like Michael."We are here," Pascal said, and his voice cold pulled me out of my thoughts. He didn't turn off the engine and just sat there, his eyes scanning the surroundings for any sign of trouble.Raina didn't wait for him to open her door, she pushed it open herself, the hot air hitting her face as soon as she stepped down. "You can stay here and wait for me in the car, Pascal," she said, her voice dripping with boredom. "I’ll take an hour…maybe two. I’m sure you have some boring bodyguard stuff to do
Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE: You Are Not Going Alone
Raina moved quickly, her mind focused on seeing Lorenzo. She went to her closet and pulled out a pair of ash-colored joggers and a thick black hoodie. She slipped on the joggers and pulled the hoodie over her head, tucking her dark hair inside the hood. She didn't take a bag or any money, she only slipped her secret burner phone into her pocket.She looked at herself in the mirror and noticed that her eyes were still a little red from crying, but she straightened her back and adjusted her emotions. She couldn't let Maxton or anyone see that she was hurting.She opened her bedroom door and walked down the grand staircase. The house was quiet, but as she reached the bottom, she saw Maxton standing in the middle of the living room. He was holding his phone to his ear and talking in a low but serious voice."I don't care about the cost," Maxton was saying. "Just make sure the documents are forwarded to my private email by noon."He looked up and saw Raina. His eyes immediately moved from
Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR: Secret Protector
Raina looked at Maxton standing in the doorway and her heart was still pounding from the terrifying phone call with Michael. Her eyes were red, and her hands were shaking, but she didn't want to show Maxton her weakness and she hated being seen like this. Maxton stood there, his tall frame blocking the light from the hallway. He looked at her with his dark eyes as he had heard Michael's threat but he didn't hear what led to the threats.He had also heard the fear in Raina's voice when she talked about her mother and he waited for her to tell him what was happening.But Raina didn't say a word, instead, she just stared back at him, her jaw tight and her lips pressed together stubbornly.The answer to his question was obvious as Michael was simply a monster but she had no intention of opening up to Maxton. She hated showing people her weakness and hated being pitied by anyone.Especially someone like Maxton that she barely knows anything about and had a polite relationship with.Maxton
Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE: Does He Always Threaten You?
The morning sun shone brightly through the large windows of the bedroom.Raina slowly opened her eyes and blinked against the light. She moved her arms and legs slowly,to test her body and to her surprise, the sharp pains from yesterday had turned into a dull ache. Which means that the medicine Ramirez gave her was working well, as her bruises were still dark, but they didn't hurt as much anymore.She got out of bed, did a few light stretches to wake up her muscles, and went to the bathroom to freshen up. Even with a fractured rib, Raina didn't move weakly, she was extremely agile. She splashed cold water on her face and looked at herself in the mirror."I've survived worse," she whispered to her reflection like she always did.Knock knock!A few minutes later, there was a soft knock on the door, and Ava walked in carrying a silver tray with eggs, juice, toast, and fresh fruit. She looked at Raina with a mix of respect and a hint of worry."Good morning, Miss Raina," Ava said as she s
