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
Nathan's POVRayne's new look was breathtaking. We had gone to get the haircut together and once they were done and she stepped out, my breath had been snatched from me and I had not stopped gushing about it since two weeks now. Every morning when I woke up and saw her it was like I was seeing her for the first time ever and I hoped that I woke up to her face till my last day on earth.Since she was making fast progress with her agency, I decided that it was going to be a good idea for us to employ a nanny for Leo, just to handle the things that we would normally do like getting him ready for school, taking him there and bringing him home home. I woke up and didn't find her beside me and I immediately knew that she was definitely in the kitchen helping the chef to make breakfast. It was something she did occasionally but everytime on Saturdays because she liked to make her unique pancake recipe for us all.I took my time in getting ready for the day because I didn't have to go into t
Rayne's POVI was exhausted but happy at the same time because my life was taking shape and moving in the right direction. The business was taking off fast and I was in love with my new look. I had cut it into a Korean boy haircut and dyed it a dark red color. I looked like a totally different person and I loved it so much.Since I had resumed office fully, saturdays had become a day when Nathan, Leo and I spent quality time together by going to the park or the mall and sometimes even just driving around town while enjoying each other's company.We had also employed a nanny for Leo too and she was a sweet woman. Nathan's friend had been unable to help us get one that we found suitable so I decided to speak to Zara, our chef about it and she assured me that she knew the right person for the job and the next day she came to work with a woman that looked exactly like her and it turned out to be her sister. I immediately employed her because Zara was a complete sweetheart so her sister sh
Rayne's POVI waited and watched the door close behind Jessica and then open again and this time, a man was behind her. He was obviously a delivery guy"Good day ma'am" he smiled and I smiled back at him"I have a package for you" he stretched out his hands and handed me the flowers "Who is it from?" I asked in confusion cause I didn't know anyone who could be sending me flowers"There's a card on it ma'am. He said I should deliver it directly to you"I looked around and found a card stuck between the rose petals and I opened it. It was from Nathan. A small smile appeared on my lips"It's from my husband" I turned to Jessica with a smile then back to the delivery guy"Thank you for delivering this"The delivery guy smiled and nodded before turning to leave. "You're welcome, ma'am. Do have a great day" I closed the door behind him and turned to Jessica, who was still standing in the living room, a curious expression on her face."That's so sweet of your husband ma'am. What's the occa
Rayne's POVThis was all so cute and I felt loved and only Nathan could make me feel that way. He led me to the bathtub, which was filled with water that was the perfect temperature. I sank into the warm water and felt as the tension from the day began to melt away, soothed by the aromatic oils and the gentle strokes of his hands as he started massaging my shoulders.He took his time to knead my shoulders, getting rid of all the knots and tension in it and I couldn't help but let out a moan occasionally. I had truly needed this and I was glad that he had thought about it and did it on a whim for me.The bath took a long time but I wasn't complaining because I wanted to truly relax and feel the aromatic properties of the oils sink into my skin.After massaging, we just sat cuddled up in the bathtub, our hands running over each other's skin.Our bodies pressed together, skin against skin, the tension between us was as thick as the steam swirling around the bathroom. Our eyes locked an
Nathan's POVI opened my eyes and immediately closed them when the sun ray shining through the window shined directly into my eyes. I had forgotten to close the blinds. I squinted my eyes while they were still shut and then opened it at a go, blocking the effect of the sun ray from affecting my eyes again.I turned over to the other side of the bed and was surprised that Ryane wasn't there. Where could she possibly has gone? I asked myself but soon got my answer when I perceived fresh pancakes coming from the kitchen. I smiled, the thought of last night filling my mind. I had wanted her to feel loved and to know that I loved her be you measure and I hoped so hard that I had achieved that, removing any doubts that she had about my love for her.It was Saturday and that meant it was the day we get to eat Rayne's special pancakes. I rolled out of bed and made my way to the kitchen, my stomach growling in anticipation. Rayne was there, flipping pancakes with a spatula, her hair tied up
Rayne's POVTo say I was grateful was an understatement. The office was moving fine, my family bond was getting stronger and my marriage was blossoming.Ever since the first five employees resumed, we had quickly found the remaining four people to complete the vacant role and as usual I did an excellent job in selecting them because they were all hardworking and knew exactly why they were employed to work for me.We had meeting and after brainstorming we put our plans in motion to start looking for talents that we were going to manage. We were going for all sorts of artists as long as they had good potential."Set up the flyers across the streets, in public places where people would definitely see them" I instructed the head director.It was a hectic one but soon enough we had talents applying in large numbers for them to be managed by the agency but as usual I always used an iron hand in picking who was going to be associated with the company. I made sure that they were free from any
Rayne's POVI was deep in thought, barely even aware of the file in my hands that I was supposed to be going through.I needed to make a decision and it needed to be fast too. The file I was holding was a talent application and the artist was really good,even better than our face of the company and there was no way i could afford to not offer her a job.Her name was Emily.But the problem was that she was an abandoned talent from Star Struck and taking her in was very likely to cause some kind of trouble for her but after thinking for a bit I decided that I was going to take the chance. How bad can it actually get?I finished looking through the rest of the application and when it was time to send them to the company's recruiter, I picked out Emily's application"I'll take care of this one myself" I told Jake, the recruiter when he raised an eyebrow in question and I watched him pick up the other applications and leave. I had already made up my mind but the thought of asking Nathan f
