StoryERIC's POVI stopped in my tracks and turned around to find Rayne standing with someone, and something knotted in my chest when I saw it was a guy. I could read the surprise in her expression when she turned around to look at him."I'd call you later," I said into the phone and ended the call immediately. I wanted to go to her, but then I decided against it when someone else showed up from behind the masculine figure. It was a girl, a brunette. Then she also said Rayne's name. It seemed she was acquainted with these people. But, I could tell something was amid. I never saw a smile on her face while she talked with them. She instead had a look of perplexity on her, as if she was trying to comprehend something. Her eyes were locked on the couple's intertwined arms. I could only wonder who they were and what role they played in her life before our wedding.I quickly took a snap of them and sent the photo to one of my private investigators. "Get me information on the couple in that

JealousRAYNE'S POVThe car pulled over at the 'REGANCE' clothing store. It was one of the most renowned fashion houses in Los Angeles and staring at it from afar, I could already tell why. Eric opened the door and held out a hand to me and I hesitated took it and he helped me down. As we walked towards the store, he suddenly stopped when his phone rang.His brows creased into a frown as he took out his phone from his pocket."Go in, I'd be there shortly." He said and I nodded and went inside.As soon as I walked in, a dark-haired girl in a white shirt and pants walked up to me with a smile. "Hello, Ms. How may I be of help?""Uhh..." I stuttered a little. I still had no idea why we were here, so I didn't know what to say to her."It's okay to be confused in choice at times. Our store has the tendency to leave one perplexed. But, I could help you through making the right choice, but first, we'd have to know what you have in mind." She said and I couldn't help looking around for Eric.

A VillainERIC's POV"Go," I told her and watched her run off. Dennis walked in on me and I found myself smiling while still staring in the direction Rayne had left from. I turned to him, my stern expression returning abruptly."Sir!" He bowed slightly."Take your men and go after her. Keep me posted." I said to him, turned, and walked upstairs.RAYNE'S POVThe driver drove us down to a store downtown. We had to go there instead, since the Lawn's were there already. Elaina and I were escorted inside once out of the car by a female attendant who said Mrs. Lawn had asked her to walk us inside. And the chauffeur left at once.The girl walked us past a few dress sections and I couldn't help but wonder why the entire store seemed empty."Why does everywhere look so... empty?" I asked the attendant."It's often this way around this period. Whenever the Lawns are shopping, no other shoppers are allowed inside." She replied and for a moment I was left speechless."Here!" She said, ushering us

The Hero, The Heroine, and The Villain.RAYNE'S POVMorningI woke up and found that my bed had been surrounded. Rubbing my eyes thoroughly, I wondered what was going on."Good morning Mrs. Rayne," A red-haired lady said, offering me a smile. "I'm Lizzy, a fashion director. On Eric Arnold's invitation, my team and I are here to help you get ready for the tea party."Help! Why was I needing help with getting dressed all of a sudden?"Is that necessary?" I asked her. I mean, I wasn't some sort of a kid who needed help with getting dressed."I hear you barely like the stress of being dulled up, but your husband already paid us. I promise you that we'd take out time to make you look good."I sighed inwardly. Here it was again. A wonderful moment in the bathtub was snatched from me."We'll start with a warm bath in lavender and rose water."No!" I immediately countered her. "I'm allergic to Lavender."After the bath in rose water, they put me down on the dressing desk and started working o

Heaven's SentERIC'S POVI sat in my office going through a few files that I had neglected for a while, but no matter how much I tried to concentrate and get pending jobs done, it just was difficult to focus. I was stressed from trying to cancel a deadly deal Mr. Lawn had made, and both from work. And it didn't help that I had my little wife at the back of my mind. Thinking about her, I reclined on the headrest of my swivel chair, reflexly rolling the ball of my pen in the air.After my first encounter with her that night when she had offered her little self to me, my entire existence had changed. I had been there at the hotel on a work break as if that was ever possible. Work just keeps following me around no matter what I do, or where I go.I had just concluded an impromptu business meeting and on returning to my suite, a small figure bumped hard into me, her head colliding into my chest. With a frown of displeasure, I looked down at her honey-blonde hair. She pulled slightly away f
