Raine reach the venue of the turnover ceremony in no time. Since most of the employee have seen her she entered the venue with less hassle. She look up into the place where she was formerly with the Collins family and the VIP's, she realized that all it takes is for her to change her appearance to be floors below to the people who treated her as an important guess. She saw them with their influencial friends. Kira was there with no trace of the former panic attack she laughed converse as if nothing happened. Maybe the elder Collins assumption was true she was just acting to hold on Mateo. Which she thought was none of her business. As soon as Mateo arrange for the dissolution of their marriage, then the sooner she will not be hiding in this disguise. And the sooner she finished her contract here the sooner she will be able to concentrate on the furniture business She turn her attention to the stage. "Raine! I've been looking for you! Where have you been?" Leo Alister found her."Le
"Where is she grandpa? Mateo asked his grandfather as soon as he meet him hoping to find Lorraine still where he left her.While Kira still with the group express disgust with him looking for another woman when she is still there. Didn't she came with him? He is suppose to be looking for her. But clearly he is ignoring her for another woman. She snaked her hands to Mateo's arm but all she get in return from him is an annoying glare."She went home.." His grandfather simply replied."Why didn't you stopped her? I still need to have that talk with her!" Mateo insisted, regretted that another chance had passed him by."What can I do stupid boy! You came in with another woman in tow, She is having a headache from trying to fit in with family who seem to dislike her from the things she had done to humiliate you before, when in fact you have provoked it, and in my opinion you deserved it." all the people in the table looked at the bickering grandfather and grandson. it was a good thing t
Raine had been waiting for Giah to call for an update on her aunt's condition. But her mind dripted back to a while before when Mateo saw her and Leo on the parking lot. He seem annoyed while trying to discredit her. He must have been still angry with her for the prank she pulled on him with the helmet. 'Oh Raine, when are you going to learn that not all people welcome your weird sense of humor.' She thought.While Mateo feels confused with his feeling he felt annoyed when he sees Raine talking or laughing with another man, it sure don't mean that he is interested with her, since his infatuation or love for his wife has never lessen or gone. He still get that feeling of anticipation and happiness whenever he heard something about Lorraine or see her just like earlier at the ceremony. Too bad Kira came with him. He has no intention of taking her with him but Kira is an expert on meddling in his personal affairs. Maybe it's about time that he had to come straight to her and tell her
"You!" "Hello my dear wife, Lorraine." Mateo greeted sporting a grin that makes her wonder he must be the devil incarnate."So you are the culprit why I am forcefully brought here!" Lorraine check herself for tale tell sign of Raine in her before she walk towards Mateo to confront him."Whoah whoah! easy my dear wife! I just want to talk to clear up thing between us." Mateo raise his hands to sheild his face as he saw the fist that Lorraine aim at him." There's nothing for us to talk about and it is crystal clear to me what you wanted." Lorraine snapped. "What do you think I want?" Mateo asked."Isn't it obvious that you want a divorce, because the documents you send to me remains unsigned, and you want to finish what you started." She replied."Wrong!" He said."What do you mean?" She became confused. "Isnt it he wanted to get rid of her to be free from the marriage entanglements to pursue his playful single life? While taking charged of her mother"s business?" she thought.
Raine stayed in the room where Mateo initially place her. She spends sleeplessness thinking of a lot of things it seems it's inevitable that she have to stay with Mateo and try to make the marriage work for the time being.Her primary concern lies with the fact of how she will be able to play the dual role of Raine and Lorraine in front of Mateo. It would have to be a gigantic task to be able to avoid his suspicions especially when the similarities in her mannerism and the way she moves or the tone of her voice. Much more to the circumstances that Raine and Lorraine had to meet Infront of him. There is a great tendency that he will discover her secret. There are a lot of things that she regreted in life because of her impulsive decision, and a lot of it concerning or having to do with Mateo Collins. Why is it that when it comes to him it's either she made wrong or impulsive decision and regrets later.If she give in to what he wants there is no guarantee that the marriage would wo
Among other things. Do you still have any thing to add Sweetheart?" Mateo asked there are also things that he wants as a condition." Yes, You must allow me to stay at my apartment anytime." Lorraine was thinking of the times she had to play Raine Stevens she cannot bring the thing she use in her disguise in Mateo's home for the possibility that she will be discovered." Why? Are you hiding something?" He cross his brows confused."No!" She said it almost abruptly that Mateo starts to wonder. " Why so defensive?""No it's not like that. you see that apartment has so much sentimental value that I don't want to lose it" she looked at him for signs that he understand her reason, but she find out that she had to elaborate for her explanayion to be credible. "It has to be live in so that it would not be taken away it is in the contract."" You will be living in a big house and someday I;ll be buying you a bigger house You don't need an apartment, If you want we will store your memories in

Mateo asked his driver to bring her to her furniture company. but after she enter the company she immediately change to her appearance as Raine Stevens.She was in a hurry because she is running late. "Your late!" Mateo told her when they both enter the building."I'm sorry sir. personal reasons sir." Raine searching in her mind for an alibi."Such as?" He continued to asked."Traffic sir." She dismiss thinking that he is just making small talk, as she enter the lift she expected for him to ride in his private lift. But she was surprised to hear his voice beside her."What happen to your bike?" his voice sent shivers to her spine. "Whoah! I... I don't bring my bike in the office sir.""Why so surprise Miss Stevens?""Goodness gracious sir! You startled me. Why are taking the employees lift. I thought you will take your private lift." What is his alibi this time. Raine thou
Lorraine was horified with what she had discovered about her feelings for Mateo. She wonders if she she develops her feeling for him instantly from her close association with him or she became lovesick from her situation that she crave an affection or attention from her father and it turned out to be towards the opposite sex."No this is not right I'm nowhere near that blonde bombshell, and talking about that woman she had scores to settle with my so called husband."
