The next morning I awoke with my alarm, I quickly showered, shaved and went to take Rayne to her classes.

After I was done, I went to see Everly at my family home. We sat and spoke for a long time about general stuff.

After we were done, she asked me to come have dinner with her tonight, because she wanted to speak to me about something important which I readily agreed to.

Kissing her on her head goodbye, I promised to be back later on before I left.

Going straight to pick up Rayne, from college, I parked and waited for her to come out.

As I watched her come out, I am once again reminded of how beautiful she truly is and what a deceptive person she turned out to be.

Watching her as she walked and laughed with her friends, caused me to tighten my grip on my steering wheel, making my fingers turn a whitish white as my blood flow to my fingers was stopped.

I could feel my hatred flowing through my body and it felt like an antidote to boost my hatred further.

Seeing me waiting for her, she smiled and ran to me. God, why does this cheater have to have the most gorgeous smile ever, I wondered.

I kissed her once she reached me, in a way that I have never kissed her or anyone else before, not that I have ever put any effect when I kissed anyone before🫣.

The kiss was a kiss of possession and anger.

Anger for the way I felt for her deep inside, and for the fact that I wished so badly she and her brother didn't deceive my sister and I.

Thereafter to not let her think much about the way I kissed her, I told her how much I loved her, which she nodded to.

Driving her home, I told her I needed to take care of some important work, so I would not be able to spend extra time with her today.

I kissed her goodbye and told her I would make it up to her tomorrow, since it was the weekend.

Driving to our family home two hours away, I saw Everly sitting in her wheelchair at the table.

Looking at her sad face, broke my heart once again.

From the corner of my eye I saw Abigail walk in with our dinner and leave it on the table, then asked to be excused, which I nodded to.

Whilst dishing for Everly and I, I asked Everly to tell me her important news.

Clearing her throat, she started speaking,

"Kellen, I was thinking about my life here, there is nothing left for me here anymore". "I want to go back to grandma", she whispered

"But why, what made you decide that?"

"It's a lot of things Kellen, please don't try to change my mind, I just want to go back home", she sobbed.

Watching the depressed state my sister was in, I had no choice but to allow her to go, away from me, where she would have peace and also be around people from our country that loved her.

That night, I couldn't get any sleep. I felt so depressed and made a vow to make Rayne and her family suffer, the way my family and I are suffering right now.

Going into my office, I started finding work to do, to distract me from thinking of my sister.

If I could change things, I would switch places with Everly in a heartbeat.

For hours I worked in my office and when I was done with everything I needed to do, I went down to my basement gym.

There I kicked and beat the shit out of the punching bags.

Having dismantled both the bags, I decided to pick up weights to clear my frustration, still it didn't solve much.

I finally decided to try swimming and kept doing laps across the pool, until I was completely exhausted. Thereafter I went to bed to take a nap and got up only about 10am.

Everly's flight was confirmed for Monday at 2pm and the thought of it, angered me more but also I felt some sort of relief that at least my sister will be safe from harm soon, and safe with our grandma.

I just need to finish setting up my businesses here and then I could go and spend more time with Everly and grandma in our country.

Rayne and I made our arrangements to see each other later when I went to her house for dinner with her family.

I wanted to sit at their table, looking Arlo straight in the eye as he realises who I really am or whose brother I am.

Time started moving very fast because before I knew it, it was already time to leave.

I purchased 1 bouquet of flowers for Rayne's mum and another bouquet of roses with 12 red and 12 pink for Rayne.

Spending money meant absolutely nothing to me, but getting my revenge meant everything.

Once I reached Rayne's house, I parked and went to knock on her front door.

After a few minutes Rayne's mother opened up, and welcomed me in.

If I didn't really hate this family, I would have been so happy being welcomed here by these people.

Clarrisa, Rayne's mother told me to have a seat as she went to pour me a glass of champagne.

Arriving back with it, she told me, that Rayne would be out shortly, also dinner would be served in about 10 minutes.

Thanking her, I walked around her living room, looking at all the family photos there.

About 5 minutes later, Rayne came to me.

I felt myself harden instantly from seeing her, she had on a light blue Cupid's bow, ruffle shoulder bodycon dress , in simpler words, a short tight dress, matched with light blue stilletoes, both bringing out the colour of her eyes more.

She looked absolutely stunning, and once again I thought about how much she really belonged in a magazine, because she was pure perfection in her beauty and figure.

Going up to her, I pushed her against the wall and kissed her, smudging her nude lipstick.

Pulling away, she looked into the mirror opposite us and said "Look what you did now, you went and ruined my lipstick".

Telling me she would be back soon, she ran to her room, to apply a new coat on her lips.

At that moment, her dad walked in, sizing me up from top to bottom before sticking out his hand to shake.

Looking up at this man in front of me, I take note of his dark hair, piercing light blue eyes like Rayne's and fair skin with olive undertones. He has a square jaw and a menacing smile, which in a way does make me feel abit intimidated. His body is toned and lean but not overly muscular and bulky. He is also clean shaven. It is obvious, he does take pride in himself at the age of 50.

Putting my hand in his, I shook his hand, as he lead me to their dining table.

Not long after, Arlo walked in, looking at him, I could see he was a carbon copy of his dad, just a younger version instead and he had his mum's green eyes.

As his eyes landed on me, I could see recognition there.

Getting up from my chair, I stuck out my hand to shake his.

Looking like he was stuck for words but somehow regained his composure and ability to speak, I heard him say "You are Everly's brother".

Nodding my head, I told him "Yes".

At that moment, Rayne walked in and took her seat, just as her mum started bringing in the food, then joined us at the table.
Next we all tucked in and started eating in silence.

Once we were all done, Rayne and her mum cleared up, while her dad asked me to follow him outside with his son.

Outside he started questioning my intentions with his daughter, going as far as asking if we had already slept together, which I replied "No" to.

Then he started telling me,

"My daughter is very innocent and you should take care of her even though she is studying to become a doctor which would make her financially independent.

If you both decided to marry, you Kellen, would have to be the breadwinner in the house not her.

The last thing I want is for Rayne to have found a guy who would depend on her to provide because I know my daughter abit too well and if she has really fallen in love then she would financially support you if you didn't want to work."

"Sir, I can assure you, I have my own businesses and if Rayne and I were to get married, I really don't even need her to work", I stated.

Feeling satisfied with my answer, he just nodded and tapped me on my shoulder

In the back of my mind, I thought to myself about how delusional he was, he didn't know the true sides of his kids and what they were capable of.

After that he asked me about my parents and what business I have.

I told him that I own businesses around the world and help to manage telesales franchise stores as well.

Not fully satisfied as yet, he questions about whether I plan on marrying his daughter one day after her studies are completed, which at the spur of the moment, I said "Yes".

About half an hour later, I told everyone good night before leaving to go home.

As I hugged Rayne, before leaving, I told her I would call her abit later to chat.

Smiling at me, she sent me off.

Later on, I called her and we chatted for a couple of hours before she fell off to sleep while I was still on the line. Cutting the call, I went to bed myself.
