RAYNE’S POVI watched Nathan sleep, his chest rising and falling in a soothing motion. My husband. The last time I thought about that word, I thought I was going to be marrying Elliot, someone I knew was only with me for what he could gain. But here I was, lying next to a hotter, better looking, kinder man. My man. I had no recollection of how I got home last night. The last thing I remember was sending Leo home with his nanny, then having some more wine. I was probably so drunk he had to drag me home. Now that was embarrassing, but surprisingly, I wasn’t embarrassed enough to want to hide from him. I placed my head on his bare chest, listening to the rhythm of his heartbeat. He wrapped his arm around me and I smiled, leaning into his touch“Good morning wife” he said “Good morning, husband. Hope I didn’t completely ruin the wedding night experience for you?”“I had a great time. You were fun even while drunk”I laughed “Dragging your drunk new wife all the way home was probably n
Rayne's POVMy hands felt warm in his but his voice was serious,“I’m glad you want to achieve these things,Rayne. I really am. But you don’t have to start from scratch. You already have all those things. I don’t want you to keep running. Five years is more than enough to run away from your demons, I believe it’s time for you to face them. We both know Starstruck should be yours, I suggest we get it back.”“But that’s really not what I want. Moreover, Starstruck is more of my dad’s than it is mine. He can do whatever he wants with it and he made it quite clear that he doesn’t want me near it. I don’t think there’s any reason to shake things up right now. I would prefer to just maintain the peace.“I’ll support any decision you make, but when you change your mind, all you need to do is let me know, and we’ll fight to death, okay?”I smiled.“I won't change my mind, but thank you. I really appreciate you having my back”“Always”I had no intentions of going after Starstruck, but I was g
Rayne's POV"Hold on baby, Mummy is coming okay" I called out to Leo while I pulled away from Nathan and started adjusting my dress. The situation was comical and I tried to keep a straight face but once I glanced at him, we both burst out laughing,"It's not actually funny" he said between small laughs and I nodded, still laughing.He was right. We had been in the middle of an intense make out session and when things had started getting very heated, Leo's little voice had suddenly interrupted and put an abrupt end to it. It was frustrating to say the least but there was nothing we could do. Maybe we really needed that honeymoon after all.I opened the door and found a smiling Leo who was obviously oblivious to what he had just interrupted,"Mummy!" He ran into me, hugging me beneath the knees and I rubbed his head"And how's my baby doing this morning?" "I'm fine mummy" he looked towards the bed and then ran to Nathan when he realized that he was also awake.I watched them interact
Rayne's POVLife was moving swiftly and sweetly too. I had become a stay at home wife and mom somehow and although it was enjoyable for a while, I suddenly started craving going back out there and doing some lind of work just to feel useful again.Nathan was not complaining, in fact if anything he liked that I jist got to stay at home while he provided everything we needed in the house but I was not used to living like that. Even when I was still my father's daughter, I had still worked my ass off even though I really didn't need to and remembering that period suddenly filled my mind with an insatiable desire to get back to running an entertainment agency.Without informing Nathan I started researching on how I could start up something even if if was small at least I would still be doing something I love and it wasn't hard to find a company that was selling due to mismanaged talents and I immediately knew that it was what was meant for me because I had a reputation for reviving dying
Rayne's POV The game to be Lila Adams was well into motion and I knew I had to tell Nathan about what I planned to do because technically he was a part of me now so anything I wanted to do had to involve him and I also knew he would have my back especially for this particular game plan because he already wanted me to fight back for what I had lost and what Elliot and Zia did to me and I was more than ready now."Mummy I don't understand my assignment" Leo called out to me from his little study area, drawing me out of my thoughts.He had just returned from school a few minutes ago and I asked him to work on his assignment while I helped the chef make lunch not that she needed my help though but I was already so used to handling the affairs of the kitchen so I assisted in ways that I can and I believed she was grateful for that. She was a sweet woman."Please excuse me" I said, motioning to her to take over stirring the pot of soup I was stirring before heading out of the kitchen to se
25. An overdue revengeRayne's POVHis face went from surprise to shocked and then a large smile appeared on his face but a look of worry quickly replaced it."Are you sure about that? What made you change your mind?" He asked, looking at my eyes searchingly."I don't know why I changed my mind exactly" I shrugged "Maybe I just realized that I really want to get my revenge on them because what they did to me was heartless and letting it slide just like that would be an insult to a part of me an yes I am more than sure that I want revenge" He nodded " I would not lie to you that I'm not excited and even glad that you finally see a reason to do this and I can't wait to help you get the justice you deserve but I hope that you're not doing this because I brought it up. I mean it's perfectly okay if you don't want to get revenge. You know I'll definitely support you in that"I understood him and I would say that he put the idea in my head vaguely but the decision was solely mine and even
Rayne's POVThe first part of the plan was easy. Register the agency under my new name and then put out am official call for talents that would love to be managed by us.In choosing the name of the company, I sort Nathan's help for that and after a lot of brainstorming we came to the conclusion of RiseStar Entertainment agency. It just had a nice tone to it and it was also playful too. It conferred all the message, I wanted the company to pass to it's talents and it's clients too.So I was Lila Adams, the CEO of RiseStar Entertainment Agency.The things to be done to start up everything was going smoothly and swiftly too. I had actually finished registering the company and it was now time to design and decorate my office space and I was more than excited for that.I hired an interior designer and shared the vision I had for the office to her and she immediately started her work, consulting me along the way. She knew how to do her work and I honestly didn't have to stress myself out so
27. Changing looksRayne's POVI was breathing fast. Too fast.I had to get far away from the ice cream joint as fast as I could so Zia would not see me. Leo was following me happily, oblivious to what was going on and it was only when I reached the far end of the mall did I stop and place my hand on my chest to catch my breath.That was a very close call."Mummy are you okay?" Leo's tiny voice asked and I nodded, trying to smile and appear as though everything was normal"Yes baby""Then why is you hand on your chest? Does it hurt from the little game we just played?" He raised his tiny hand towards me and I got down into a squat so he could place his hand on my chest.The little guy had thought that we were playing a game by running all the way from the ice cream joint to the other side of the mall. At least I didn't have to make up a lie for the little drama that just happened."No my love, my chest doesn't hurt, it's just beating real fast like yours is " I placed my hand on his c
