22. Her woefulness is implored.
With unconscious Rayne in his arms, Ron knocked the door. Out of any confusion, of course Rayne would be unconscious, after all greedy Ron didn't give her proper food and water for four consecutive days.
The door opened, revealing Chasity. She swirled her strand of blonde hair between her fingers.
"Where?" Ron asked, popping his eyebrows a little.
"Oh -place her on the sofa." Chasity answered, giving him way to move in.
He paced forth towards the sofa and before he could place Rayne there a voice interrupted .
"I can handle her. Give her to me."
It was Alec . Jealousy was evident on his face with a glint of sadness and grief.
Ron handed Rayne to Alec, who very carefully scooped her in his arms .
"What about the money?" Ron asked .
" You'll get it", Chasity answered.
"When? If I didn't receive it by tomorrow. I will take her...or you."Ron snickered.
"What? Where did that come from? You can't take me." Chasity whined.
"Don't test me."
"But how I will arrange this hefty amount by tomorrow?"
"That's not my problem."
"But-" Chasity was cut off by Alec .
"How much?" Alec asked .
"75 lakhs",Ron answered promptly.
"I'll pay it. Now, leave." Alec was so engrossed in worrying about Rayne that he didn't even think once.
Ron left.
A unreal spark flinched through Chasity's eyes.
" Thank you, Alec, baby! You did that for me." Chasity outdid her own stupidity .
Without any doubt, she knew that he did that for saving Rayne not her.
Alec didn't answer.
"Remember our deal. I can break her." Chasity's expression changed from that of pleasure to that of selfish self serenity .
This scratched a little pieces of Alec's heart, which was already broken.
To avoid any further unhearty conversation, Alec strode towards Rayne's temporary room.
He opened the door and placed Rayne onto her bed like she was a delicate doll. He scooped the bed sheets over her and stared at, now dull face, for some good minutes.
Stroking a strand of her thick, soft, brown hairs from her face, he whispered," I am glad you're back."
He quickly got up and after taking one look at her, he left to called the doctor.
Few hours passed, the doctor informed that because of not eating for such a span, her stomach's acid caused ulcers.
Her lashes feebly fidgeted up and down. She glanced at her surroundings which seemed different to her. She jolted up hastily and sighed when realised that she was back to a safe place.
"I see you're up." A voice squeaked in through the door.
"Yes, Sir." Rayne addressed Alec as 'sir', as per his wish he proposed four days ago.
Hearing this, Alec's face wilted out of happiness, leaving only grief.
"Please don't call me sir, Rayne." He said." I am sorry."
"What happened? How'd I get here?" She asked .
"I will tell you that later. Listen carefully, Chasity and I made a deal that-"
He was interrupted by a sharp trill coming out from the throat of the blonde beauty.
"What's going on?"
"I was just telling this stupid cunt here that how much I had to pay because of her. You are waste of space Rayne. Good for nothing! ", Alec's tone of voice changed with every word.
"But Alec-" Rayne was cut of by Alec's shouting voice.
"What did you say? Alec? How many do I have to tell you that it is not Alec for you. It is sir!"
" Now baby, calm down. " Chasity soothed Alec's arms and guided her outside before saying.
"I will send someone to give you food."
Rayne's stomach grumbled but it was not the priority. Her heart was shattering being not able to absorb anything which Alec said .
What is wrong with him? He was all humble and good but when Chasity came he-
Rayne's thought were interrupted by a soft knock on the door. It was Lisa.
"Rayne, How are you feeling, dear?" Lisa's soft voice was nothing less than that of a mother.
" Lisa? What are you doing here? Weren't you fired?"
"Oh darling! I will tell you everything but first eat this." Lisa settled the tray of food on the table beside the bed.
Rayne without any serious mannerism gulped the food down her throat. She was hungry.
After all the saying: what's tasty? Food or hunger? Of course hunger is. It really is practical and Rayne experienced it.
But in the midst of eating she was also confused about Alec and his behavior. She wanted answers as soon as possible because she knew that at some hook it did involved her.
Her sadness and misery were so desperate to Chasity that she didn't even wanted to miss one chance of imploring it.
Rayne was brutally hit on the inside and her heart was whining for happiness. She was depressed. What in the world is so crucious that it always makes Rayne sad?
In the other, Chasity was smirking on the inside and wanted nothing else but to celebrate her win. After all she did made Rayne even more miserable .
Rayne gulped the last piece of food and asked Lisa, " Can I have water?"
"Sure. But eat these tablets too."
"Ok", she looked down at her hands in disbelief.
" What is going on? Why Alec is behaving so strange?", Rayne tried to inquire.
"Darling," Lisa tucked Rayne's hair behind,"You have no idea how much he loves you."
