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....

For two years, I was the invisible force behind tech billionaire Kieran Douglas, convinced that our "private" romance was his way of protecting us from the tabloid spotlight. I managed his mergers, warmed his bed, and waited for a future that didn't exist. The illusion shattered at 6:00 AM when a Page Six alert debuted Kieran’s "real" romance with socialite Aspen Schneider. Before I could even process the betrayal, Kieran sent me a cold, professional text: "Order flowers for Aspen. Pink peonies. Her favorite." When I tried to walk away, my own mother called me a disgrace and threatened to lock my inheritance forever unless I married a sixty-year-old businessman to save her failing estate. At a high-society gala that same night, Aspen intentionally crushed my burned hand in front of the cameras, while Kieran stood by and dismissed me as a "mediocre assistant" who had overstayed her welcome. I stood in the cold New York rain, drenched in champagne and humiliation, realizing that every sacrifice I made for Kieran was a joke. I was a ghost in a penthouse that was never mine, discarded the moment his "soulmate" returned. To the world, I was just a placeholder whose time had run out. But Kieran forgot one thing: my father’s multi-million dollar trust fund unlocks the moment I legally marry. I didn't need love; I needed a signature and a shield. I walked into a discreet law firm and signed a marriage contract with a man I believed was the city’s most notorious, scandal-ridden playboy. I thought I was marrying a degenerate "beard" to buy my freedom and secure my revenge. I didn't realize the man who signed that paper wasn't a playboy at all, but Gaston Collins—the most powerful and dangerous man on Wall Street—and he had no intention of letting our fake marriage stay fake.

The heavy iron gates of the Wilderness Correction Camp groaned as they released me after three years of state-sponsored hell. I stood on the dirt road, clutching a plastic bag that held my entire life, waiting for the family that claimed they sent me there for "rehab." My brother, Brady, picked me up in a luxury SUV only to throw me out onto a deserted highway in the middle of a brewing storm. He told me I was a "public relations nightmare" and that the rain might finally wash the "stink" of the camp off me. He drove away, leaving me to limp miles through the mud on a snapped ankle. When I finally dragged myself to our family estate, my mother didn't offer a hug; she gasped in horror because my muddy clothes were ruining her Italian marble. They didn't give me my old room back. Instead, they banished me to a moldy gardener’s shack and hired a "babysitter" to make sure I didn't embarrass them further. My sister, Kaleigh, stood there in white cashmere, pretending to cry while clinging to her fiancé, Ambrose—the man who had once been mine. They all treated me like a volatile junkie, refusing to acknowledge that Kaleigh was the one who planted the drugs in my bag three years ago. They wanted to believe I was broken so they wouldn't have to feel guilty about the "wellness retreat" that was actually a torture chamber. I sat in the dark of that shed, feeling the cooling gel on the cigarette burns that covered my arms, and realized they had made a fatal mistake. They thought they had erased me, but I had returned with a roadmap of scars and a hidden satellite phone. At dinner, I didn't beg for their love. I simply rolled up my sleeves and showed them the price of their silence. As the wine spilled and the lies crumbled, I sent a single text to the only person I trusted: "I'm in. Let them simmer." The hunt was finally on.
