On a Rainy Day Chapter 1 Quinifa

It was a rainy day in February, Quinifa wined the window of her car down and stuck her hand out. It had stopped raining.

"It has" she whispered, although she'd like to enter the rain but she was already late for school.

She brought out a mirror and brush from her bag and brushed her Blondie hair, she stared at her image reflected on the mirror.

Her blue eyes shone while her full pink lips quivered as she remembered when her mother used to brush her hair when preparing she and Anel for school.

She wiped the tear on her cheeks and put away the mirror and brush, kick started her car and drove roughly out of the garage to school.

The noise in grade 12 Diamond died down as "Icy" as many people called Quin entered into the class.

She ignored their usual stares and walked straight to sit beside Mia Waters, her best friend.

"Quinnnnn you are a bit late today" Mia hugged Quin tight.

Quin replied with "Mm"

"I see you don't wanna talk now" Mia released Quin from her "signature bear hug".

The teacher entered Into the class and everyone stood up to greet.

Quinifa watched as everyone except her, Mia and other students troop out of the class.

" Quin let's go almost everyone has left school" Mia said tugging her arms with Quin's.

Allowing student leave the class before she leave,has always been Quin's habit.

"Mm" she replied picking up her bag pack. She walked out of the class without waiting for Mia.

Mia ran behind her "Quin wait up, you should stop this habit of always leaving me behind" complained Mia.

"And you should stop being too slow in walking" Quinifa snapped.

Quin had said something tangible for the first time today.

She pressed the button on her car key, the car beeped.

"You're dropping me off today, my car is at the mechanic's" Mia said ignoring Quin's snap.

"Okay' Quin shrugged and hopped into the car.

"Bye Quin" Mia said as Quin pulled up in front of her house.

"Bye see ya tomorrow' Quin replied softly.

Mia smiled pecking her hair, she was happy that her cold friend was finally loosing up for today.

She loosened the seat belt and opened the car door, she locked the door and stood meters away from the car.

"Bye" she said again waving at Quin till the car disappeared.

Quin parked properly in the garage, locked the car and walked into the house.

She switched on the lights as she entered into the sitting room and pulled her shoes, carefully placing them on the shoe rack and wore her slippers.

Her phone beeped. She sighed and dropped her bag on the couch bringing out her phone from the purse she held.

She checked her phone, it was a message from Rosalie, her father's secretary.

FROM ROSALIE:

Hey Quinifa! How have you been?

Where are you?.

TO ROSALIE:

I have been well, thanks.

I'm at home, just got back from school. I'm about to make a smoothie.

She read what she had typed and sent it.

She walked into the kitchen and dropped her phone on the kitchen island and went to the fridge, retrieving the ingredients meant for her smoothie.

She washed them and placed them into the blender.

She switched it on and observed how the beautiful ingredients crushed down into a liquid and became unstable.

Well, that explains her life.

From being comfortable and happy to being sad and lonely.

Satisfied with its smoothness she took a clean glass cup and poured the content of the blender into the cup.

She sipped from the cup of smoothie in her hand and shuffled to her room tiredly.

She wasn't gonna eat dinner that evening.

What's more?, that's the boring life of Quinifa Sheldon....

The heavy thud of the release stamp was the only goodbye I got from the warden after five years in federal prison. I stepped out into the blinding sun, expecting the same flash of paparazzi bulbs that had seen me dragged away in handcuffs, but there was only a single black limousine idling on the shoulder of the road. Inside sat my mother and sister, clutching champagne and looking at my frayed coat with pure disgust. They didn't offer a welcome home; instead, they tossed a thick legal document onto the table and told me I was dead to the city. "Gavin and I are getting engaged," my sister Mia sneered, flicking a credit card at me like I was a stray dog. "He doesn't need a convict ex-fiancée hanging around." Even after I saved their lives from an armed kidnapping attempt by ramming the attackers off the road, they rewarded me by leaving me stranded in the dirt. When I finally ran into Gavin, the man who had framed me, he pinned me against a wall and threatened to send me back to a cell if I ever dared to show my face at their wedding. They had stolen my biotech research, ruined my name, and let me rot for half a decade while they lived off my brilliance. They thought they had broken me, leaving me with nothing but an expired chapstick and a few old photos in a plastic bag. What they didn't know was that I had spent those five years becoming "Dr. X," a shadow consultant with five hundred million dollars in crypto and a secret that would bring the city to its knees. I wasn't just a victim anymore; I was a weapon, and I was pregnant with the heir they thought they had erased. I walked into the Melton estate and made an offer to the most powerful man in New York. "I'll save your grandfather's life," I told Horatio Melton, staring him down. "But the price is your last name. I'm taking back what's mine, and I'm starting with the man who thinks he's marrying my sister."

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.

I woke up in a blindingly white hotel penthouse with a throbbing headache and the taste of betrayal in my mouth. The last thing I remembered was my stepsister, Cathie, handing me a flute of champagne at the charity gala with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Now, a tall, dangerously handsome man walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. On the nightstand sat a stack of hundred-dollar bills. My stepmother had finally done it—she drugged me and staged a scandal with a hired escort to destroy my reputation and my future. "Aisha! Is it true you spent the night with a gigolo?" The shouts of a dozen reporters echoed through the heavy oak door as camera flashes exploded through the peephole. My phone lit up with messages showing my bank accounts were already frozen. My father was invoking the 'morality clause' in my mother’s trust fund, and my fiancé had already released a statement dumping me to marry my stepsister instead. I was trapped, penniless, and being hunted by the press for a scandal I hadn't even participated in. My own family had sold me out for a payday, and the man standing in front of me was the only witness who could prove I was innocent—or finish me off for good. I didn't have time to cry. According to the fine print of the trust, I had thirty days to prove my "rehabilitation" through a legal marriage or I would lose everything. I tracked the man down to a coffee shop the next morning, watching him take a thick envelope of cash from a wealthy older woman. I sat across from him and slid a napkin with a $50,000 figure written on it. "I need a husband. Legal, paper-signed, and convincing." He looked at the number, then at me, a slow, crooked smile spreading across his face. I thought I was hiring a desperate gigolo to save my inheritance. I had no idea I was actually proposing to Dominic Fields, the reclusive billionaire shark who was currently planning a hostile takeover of my father’s entire empire.
