RAINA’S POV

The unexpected visit from Donald for a second time in such a short span stirred a tumult of emotions within me. As I opened the door, his presence sent a wave of mixed feelings relief, curiosity, and a tinge of anxiety.

“Donald, what brings you here again?” I inquired, attempting to maintain composure while inwardly grappling with the whirlwind of emotions.

He looked at me with a certain earnestness, a glare that hinted at how serious the situation was. “Raina, Carlyle needs your help. He’s not well.”

My heart skipped a beat. Despite the internal conflict, a surge of concern for his well–being took over my mind.

“What happened to him?” I questioned, my voice betraying a mixture of worry and reluctance.

“He’s sick, Raina. Really sick. We need your expertise. Please, help us save him. He has suffered at relapse. Donald implored with his words resonating with a sincerity that transcended our complicated history.

“Alright, I’ll meet you soon. Give me a minute.”

In the room, the atmosphere was heavy with tension as I walked in, a reluctant participant in the unfolding drama. My gaze met Carlyle’s, and in that moment, a complex tapestry of emotions. unfolded. The past was a specter, and the present was an unwelcome reunion.

Donald, caught between the dynamics, spoke with urgency, “Raina, we need you to save him. He’s deteriorating rapidly, and we don’t have much time.”

My initial reluctance transformed into a cold determination.

“Fine, you mentioned that before.” I agreed, not out of sympathy, but a strategic calculation of my own. As we ventured into Carlyle’s quarters, the sight that awaited me was unexpected.

Aside Carlyle laying on the bed, Mason laid opposite him there, visibly unwell too. Shock momentarily eclipsed my poised demeanor. The scenario defied my calculations, unraveling a layer of complexity I hadn’t anticipated.

“So, the heir is ailing as well. What a family reunion this is turning out to be,” I quipped, masking my internal turmoil with a façade of indifference. The room, now charged with uncertainty, held the promise of unpredictable turns in the intricate game we found ourselves playing.

As I navigated through the intricate threads of my communication tool, a surge of satisfaction rippled through me. The récent events had taken an unforeseen turn, and it appeared that the goddess of fate was, for once, aligning with my desires. Initially suspecting my brother’s machinations, the ethereal exchange of messages dispelled that notion.
