Though he was still the leader of the Blackwell enterprise, he rarely interfered with the business affairs these days, and lets me oversaw his duties instead.Usually I'd work late at night. Sometimes till sunrise, but calling a board meeting at night was just unheard of."You should wear something more formal, boss," Mason said, not bothering to mask his disapproval as he takes in my appearance. A black swear pant and unzipped sweat shirt that left my chest bare. My outfit was certainly too casual and inappropriate for a board meeting and I'm sure I'd be met with malicious grunts and whispers from both my family and the board members but they can go fuck themselves in the ass.I wasn't exactly in a good mood after that little woman rejected my marriage proposal. Not like I didn't see it coming. I knew she would reject me and when she actually did, it still made my heart clench painfully. The only thi
The security at the entrance greeted me as I walked past them into the main house and like always, I was greeted by the usual silence and emptiness I knew so well. But for some reason, the silence felt heavier and suffocating this time. And unlike before, my parents butler Matthew didn't show up to say hello like he always does whenever I came home. There was no sign of him so I made my way upstairs toward the library where I guessed mother would be. It was either the library or the garden. Those were her two favorite places in the house."Mother," I called, pushing the library door open only to be greeted by silence. She wasn't there so I checked the garden next. When I couldn't find her still, I headed toward her bedroom instead."Mother are you in there?" I yelled, as I place a knock on the door, turning the knob and pushing it open. I poke my head first into the room, before walking in. The room was too quiet and if she was in here she'd have already spoken at the sound of my voice
The last time I stood in a cathedral was the day I'd gotten married to Alex. I wore the most beautiful white dress with gold embroidery. Back then it had been the happiest day of my life. I was marrying the love of my life and we were going to live happily ever after. It was all but a foolish girl's dream.Now I was in a cathedral again. Only this time, I wasn't in a white wedding dress like before. However the man standing before the priest dressed in a black tuxedo was the reason I'd come here and I couldn't shake the feeling of uneasiness that surge through me as I stare at him. I recalled his words from before."I don't trust you enough to believe you won't run away from me once this is all over... So other than your words, I want action. Something that ties you to me and prevents you from leaving."Back then, I didn't take it too seriously. There's no way he was going to tie me to him. But now I realize he actually could and it was through marriage.Noo .I couldn't get married a
I didn't wait for Alex's reply before walking into the building. After a few seconds, I heard his footsteps echo behind me."What are you talking about?"I ignored him, quickening my pace, until we were seated before the court clerk. Normally, finalizing a divorce could take months, but with a man as powerful as Rain Blackwell pulling the strings, the entire process was moving at a ridiculously fast pace. It was almost unreal."Ayanna. I don't know what got into you. But we need to talk before going through with this."I heaved a frustrated sigh, trying to rein in my annoyance. "Talk about what again Alexander. Did you speak to me before declaring the divorce or did you consider my reputation when you slandered my name with those faking cheating rumors? Stop acting like the victim. Sign this and lets get the f*ck out here," my voice was calm but stern and I saw the way his eyes widened in shock probably not expecting me to know that he was the one behind the cheating rumors.But since
A man cladded in black from head to toe. His face was also hidden behind a black mask and he had a pistol. I knew right away it was Rain Blackwell. His build and aura always gave him away no matter what. Though it could also be me being able to recognized him always."Take your filthy hands off her," he casually waves the gun in Blake's direction like it's a toy then he pulls off his mask just as Blake opened his mouth to speak."The fuck..." The word dies midway the moment he saw Rain's face. A shocked gasp escaped his lips and he quickly let me go, looking utterly horrified as though he'd seen the devil himself. Blond hair also had a terrified expression on his face, looking like he was going to bolt any second."S...sir," he stuttered, lowering his head as Rain looked in his direction. He was visibly shaking."You came," I pulled his attention to me, beaming happily. Who'd know a day would come where I'd be so happy to see this man. But right now I was thrilled to the point where I
This can't be good.Whatever the Blackwell's wanted with me. It certainly had something to do with Rain but why would they go as far as trying to stop my divorce?I couldn't bring myself to ask the men who were now driving me to God knows where. It had only been them in that house, I realized the moment we walked out the door yet I couldn't run because I had no idea where we were.Now that the phone I'd use to call Rain Blackwell had been destroyed, I lost all hope of being found. And the thought that I wasn't getting divorced like I'd planned to, angered me to a point where I wanted to start screaming. I waited for divorce for so long and when it's finally going to the universe decides to ruin it. With a sigh, I rested my head against the car seat, closing my eyes, as I try to think of ideas but instead of ideas, I was overcome by drowsiness. "What does the boss want with her?"My eyes shut open the moment blond hair spoke, holding my breath as I waited for an answer."I have no id
AYANNA I hid in the boot of one of the vehicles belonging to the men who'd come to Rain's Villa_Mason as Rain had addressed him. Being a light sleeper, I'd woken up right after his phone beeped, sneaking out to eavesdrop on his conversation with whoever had come to the villa. I listened to their
My entire body froze completely and I looked at him with total disbelief. Perhaps he didn't mean it but the raw emotion in his eyes seemed too sincere to be fake. No he can't. I opened my mouth to speak but no words came out. My heart was pounding loud and fast against my chest and adrenaline cour
AYANNAI looked at the time on my watch as I walked into my parent's house. It was 10pm in the morning, father had said his business party was by noon, however I haven't seen mother for a long time because of my busy schedule I wanted to spend the entire day with her."Welcome young miss, your moth
See I'm really doing this, no backing out again, I said to myself as I walked into my apartment. This apartment was a wedding gift from mother. She'd insisted I kept it a secret, so I could sneak there whenever I needed a break from my husband. At first I'd being against it. Why would I need a brea
