His Warning
His Warning
ERIC’S POV
It’s been so long since I got the information that Rayne has arrived at the party but I haven’t seen her.
I’ve sent my assistant to go and search for her, I shouldn’t have left her by herself.
Bryce came walking in haste footsteps and got close to me.
“She’s at the gathering, Boss.” Bryce whispered to me.
“I think she’s in some kind of trouble,” he added.
Immediately I heard trouble. I became angry, without anyone telling me I know for sure that Bianca had a hand in it.
Without a word to Bryce I walked off immediately and headed to where the gathering was held.
I saw Rayne holding her gown up in her hands and was running out in tears.
I held her back the moment she was about to run past me.
She sniffed and raised her head up.
“Eric?” she called out calmly, a bit surprised.
I saw the tears in her eyes and I was infuriated, I was angry and right now was about to lose it. I saw the pains in her eyes, and how pleading they looked.
“What’s wrong?” I asked calmly as I held her chin up with my fingers.
She didn’t say a word but buried her face in my bosom and sobbed lightly.
I looked around and spotted Bianca, walking towards her with Rayne in my arms by my side.
“What did you do to her?” I asked calmly but fierce.
“None of your business.” Bianca replied casually.
Bianca was getting on my nerves, she knows I don’t repeat my questions she was making me more angry.
“Please don’t.” Rayne pleaded beside me.
I looked at her. At first I wanted to ignore her pleas and do as I wished but again I wanted to submit to her plea.
I glared at Bianca and I could see her shiver in fear.
“Let’s go, the party is canceled.” I said sternly.
“Son!”
“Mom, don’t.”
“We’re leaving, now.” I said and picked up Rayne in a bridal way and took her out.
“Are you feeling okay, do you need to go to the hospital?” I asked her.
I was worried that she was hurt.
“I’m fine,” she said as we entered the car.
“Bryce, drive faster.” I told to my personal assistant who was the one driving.
We got home and I helped her out of the car.
“I’m okay, you don’t have to treat me like a baby.” Rayne said as she withdrew her hands from mine.
She walked straight up to her room and locked the door.
I sighed as I watched her shut the door, why was she angry or rather does she just need rest and nothing more.
I walked over to the bar stand and fetched myself a glass of wine.
My phone beeped and I looked at who texted.
It was Bianca.
“Are you ready to tell her what we are?” that was the text she dropped.
I ignored the text totally and continued with my drink.
And then a buzzing sound came in. She was calling now. I sighed out of frustration and busied the call.
She called again instantly.
What’s wrong with this obsessive bitch, I thought.
I picked up the call but I didn’t say anything.
“How long are you gonna keep hiding it?” Bianca asked with a mocking tone from the other end of the call.
“I’m married, what we had was nothing!” I said calmly
“Tell that to your wife. Eventually she would find out that your family had something to do with the death of her parents,” Bianca said and ended the call.
I kept my cool and sipped from my glass of wine like she had said nothing.
I obviously do not have a hand in it so I think I’m free.
I picked up my phone and dialed Bryce’s number, it rang once and he picked it up.
“Prepare my office, I’ll be resuming work tomorrow.” I said coldly.
“Yes Boss, but….” he trailed off.
“But what?” I asked.
“You have so many appointments tomorrow and also Fred Mayer booked an appointment with you.” he said.
“I’ll sort that out,” I said and hung up before he could say anything else.
Fred Meyer, that bloody bastard.
I walked up to my room to have a nice shower. I’ll take care of it tomorrow.
