Kara Rayne
Stepping out of my room, I made my way to the main lounge to see who was still here. "You're awake," Tori said as he was the first one I saw when entering the room. "I'm heading to Layton's to serve him divorce papers then head out to eat," I spoke as saw that it was only Tori home "Ile come with, I'm hungry for BBQ," he spoke as he grabbed his jacket and I we made our way to the car.
Arriving downstairs of Ross incorporation, I got out of the car and made my way inside when I noticed a few people turn in my direction as I strolled through the double doors that made up the front of their entrance. Strolling straight to the VIP elevators without stopping while glancing towards the ones staring and smiled brightly while nodding without breaking my stride towards the elevator doors that had opened. Stepping in the elevator I pressed the button to the top floor while producing my code.
I was aware that as soon as I stepped into the building, Layton would have been alerted of my presence but what also would have shocked them would be my attire. I never looked like this ever but I thought that it was time I show who I was always born to be and dresses how I had always been since I made valedictorian of my year and made the biggest move in my time at that moment. The shock at how I had left at the Pinnacle of life at the top of where I had always aimed. To be looking at it now I knew that I could easily throw Layton off his pedestal and I wanted to see how this divorce will go. Let's see if he could match my skills now cause I wanted to burn his life to the ground but I knew his family's legacy was the business so Ile attacked his person instead.
Arriving on the floor I walked out of the elevator towards his office reception where I'm assuming should be Natasha unless she was still in the hospital with her minor injuries I mused as I entered the area and noticed that no one was there and I quickly made my way to his door to see if my theory would be correct and push the door straight open entering at the correct moment that Natasha was spread out on my husbands desk as he pounded the fuck out of her upon my arrival that made me seethed to see it finally for myself.
When my expression changed dramatically that I snapped my phone out and placed it recording facing them as I whipped off my bag before reaching over his desk for his bitch by her throat yanking her straight from his body as I had lost all sense of my surroundings and just pummelled her into the ground without even caring about what I looked like now when I was yanked off her and I felt a naked body against mine that I knew it was Layton and just went feral on him. I attacked without any mercy on him and just went as hard and as fast as I could cause I knew if he pinned me Ile be fucked. But I was raised with only brothers so I knew my weakness, so I used my speed fast and efficiently.
By the time I was pulled off him he was out cold and another association of the business had stepped in. "Mrs Ross I need you to refrain yourself," he spoke as he stared at the aftermath of my destruction. Standing up and quickly walking towards Layton, I put some clothes on him and I was efficient like I had done this before and then sat there waiting on him to wake up. Staring at the desk I started spraying it down with a multi purpose cleaner, when the smell woke Layton up. I was sitting in his chair staring at him calmly, sprung to his feet and stared around him and saw Natasha still on the floor and naked.
He jumped straight off the ground to approach me. I just had an ugly expression that should have been released but I know that he would be difficult. "Why are you here?," he asked as he stood staring at me before I levelled a look at him "To serve you divorce papers, if I had not seen what I did at this moment I'd stab you both to death," I seethed with hatred lacing my voice. "Read it then sign it," I spoke as I produced the divorce papers, "I am everything and more. Do you really want to gamble with your life?," he replied casually that I realized my infatuation to his voice not realizing the biggest thing I had blocked when it came to him was the condescending nature he exuded not realizing that although I was beside him all these years he was nothing compared to my intelligence.
"Read it properly?," I asked as I stared at him squarely as I knew that he was in for a shock. "Kara, are you really ready to drop the prize you gained as my wife these past few years?," my blood started to boil as I stared at him, "Sign it and see whether I dare too," I threatened as I slid the pen to him. The look on his face as he signed it and slid it back that I completed my part. I stood up and looked at him and laughed, let's see if you can continue to sit on my throne when I place all my energy in what comes naturally to me.
"Let's see who can do what exactly, Layt," I laughed as I saw Natasha form start to stir, "May want to get her seen too, but under no circumstances is she too follow you to city hall tomorrow or Ile plaster you all over the city and break every bone in her pathetic body," I spat as I stood up with my signed documentation and left in the same exact manner that I arrived in.
"Did you hurt your hands again?," Tori asked as I was still catching my breath in the car, a gigantic smile on my face that I started doing fist pumps at how excited I was feeling. "I still got it, big sissy still got it," I said happy as rain and telling my brother to hurry up and drive faster I'm starving. "I caught them both with my own eyes," I said to my brother who was staring at me all bug eyed when I was done "You yanked her off his dick by her throat?," he spoke slowly making sure he heard me right, "Fuck yes I did, yes I did.," I laughed I was just riding my cloud "Did you achieve your reason for your visit?," he asked as I produced it too him "Daddy is right, I met Layton with nothing and that I should leave with nothing since I gave up my future for him. I don't need any reason to entangle with him in the future, he's in the past for a reason." I said as he parked up and we headed inside.
"I feel like myself right now, wow I feel so pumped, I need to hop back in the ring," I spoke as my excitement was pouring out of me "Whoa calm your farm Joseph Parker," my brother teased as I burst out laughing that my mood was contagious "I feel like a steak meal, served with prawns.,"I said as we entered and he just stared at me "What combination is that?," he asked as he frowned down at me "BBQ all of it is cooked on the plate, that's what I'm aiming for today," I just said too him looking at him side ways. "Weird combination that's all," he mused looking me up and down before escorting us to the table.
"How are you feeling now, that your one more step away from being free of him?," my brother ask as I stared at him for a bit before answering "I went through being sad, being lonely and not understanding what was happening to me," I spoke as I thought back this past year. "You started distancing yourself from us," my brother Tori said as I nodded "I was in denial for months, I cleaned my mansion from top to bottom, I became paranoid that for my own piece of mind I found what I needed to nail his balls to wall.," I said as I ate everything that was in front of me.
"Does he even know who we are in your life?," Tori spoke as he kept pace with me so that we had some cooked meat and some still raw being placed on it. By the time the prawns went on I changed my gloves to devour them like a mad person. "He doesn't know any of the sibs because he only met mum and dad," I answered as I pulled my first lot of prawns of the hot plate. "I'm glad he didn't taint more of my surroundings, because in the business world as his wife was a nightmare this past year to stand their not knowing what he was doing, but they all knew.," I said as tears clouded my throat as wiped the tears from my face, "I have never been a trophy wife, I was more capable then Layton is to get the job done, he makes it look hard but it's common sense. He's lazy, I re did all of it in a few hours," I said rolling my eyes cause he caused so much mistakes since meeting Natasha that I was about to lose my hard work but I guess that's my punishment to watch all my silent efforts be lost down the drain and at this point I'm okay with it.
"So you going to let go of the business?," Tori questioned as he stared at me, "Yes I am. From today onwards I will follow my dreams that I left in suspense when I decided to follow Layton," I spoke as I drank my hot tea
"Knowing that I grieved this marriage alone, it hurt like a bitch, I felt like something was wrong with me, so I changed who I was and became the perfect version that I was satisfied with and look where it got me." I laughed as I stripped all my prawns with my fork and dipped them in the sauce before popping them in my mouth as I devoured the plate in front of me that I realized I was full.
For the first time in so many years that I've finally eaten my full and now I was content on drinking my hot tea as it wash down this beautiful meal. "The inner you has always had spunk, so it definitely isn't you that has the problem," Tori spoke as I laughed out loud at my brothers jokes "Damn straight I am goddam beautiful and he was the ugly duckling even with all his money," I teased back as it was Tori turned to burst out laughing at my comment "Only you so far had a defective husband and lucky your the only girl or we all might be screwed along with you," Tori quick reply had tear rolling down my face.
I had rested for ten minutes we both got up and went to pay for all the food we consumed in our time stamp we sat in and it was not that high surprisingly and we both promised to come back. The food was amazing, the service was quick and efficient. The wait time was less than twenty minutes of you ordering and sitting down.
A ringtone sounded between the two of us that we both reached for our phones and both of them were ringing, so ignored mine and waited for Tori to answer his on speaker "I need you both to come to the company, we have a merger here that wants to collaborate but I need you and Kaye to be here like now," Sebastian voice floated around us, I nodded and dragged Tori out to the car to head straight for the company.
Arriving in the company we both made our way to the conference room, when i spotted the coffee station, " I will meet you in there, I'm gonna try this," I spoke excitedly as I made a bee line straight for it, grabbing a new clean cup and the coffee sachet to add to my cup of milk before placing it in the microwave. I started feeling someone staring but since I knew my brothers could see me I just carried on until my drink was ready when I person cleared there throat gaining my attention and as I turned towards the person I was met with the same person in Sebastian house, "The meeting has started," she stated I just blinked my eyes at her as I raised my cup for a sip, "That's lovely," I stated with a smile before walking towards the conference room "It's been on hold as they waited for you," she sniped with an edge to her voice as I was in front of the door when I spun to face her with a scowl on my face "And, that's my problem how exactly?," I questioned as my entire attention was on her while holding my mug close to me. Noticing my stance she looked stunned and it made her take a step back, "The next time your voice ever changes when talking to me," I snapped stepping right in her space "I will wipe the life out of you," I spat as I turned to enter the room with a frown and pissed off attitude.
Max was staring in my direction with a smile beaming on his face "Why are you smiling like that?," I questioned as I sat next to Tori, Max and Sebastian just both started laughing that made me angrier when I felt Tori grab my hand and unravel my clenched fingers. "Breathe Kaye, breathe in and out." Tori coached me as my anger was at boiling point," Big breath in and out," he coached until I was calm enough to relax. "I called you here as we have an important client that wants you to work alongside him in this merger," Sebastian stated as I stared at him with confusion on my face "Why me, I don't work for you guys?," I said I sipped on my now warm coffee as my brothers shared a look.
"We are aware of it so we said we would ask you, if you would collaborate with us on this merger?," Max spoke as I thought about then moved my eyes around the room and seeing the other people on the other side of the table staring at me curiously "Keep staring at me like that and Ile pull your eyes out of your head," I said when all three males averted their attention. "Ile help where I can but I won't be available anytime soon until my matter is dealt with then I see what I can do. Did the company request me?," I asked as both Sebastian and Max nodded "Yeah they asked specifically for you," Maxx mused as he wiggle his eyebrows at me ,"Got something to share with us Rayne?," Maxx asked and I was shocked by the name, I was called that in high school and it made me think of one person in particular but I knew he was an international billionaire now and hasn't been back in years.
"Just odd that's all," I frowned when my phone rung and Layton name popped up, I excused myself to take the call outside the room ,"I am here at the city bureau," is all he said before I ended the call and made my way back in to the conference room "Tori and I will be leaving now as I have something to do," I spoke as I dragged my brother out of the room and out of the company. "Why the rush?," he asked as I speed across town "I'm getting divorced and I'm heading to city hall," I spoke in a rush as I found me a parking spot and jumped out of the car and walked up the stairs to see Layton standing off to the side typing on his phone.
"let's go in," I said as I carried on past him without even a hug or a kiss that I would usually give him but not anymore I am determined to put him in his place. "You look beautiful Kara," Layton spoke but it just fell on deaf ears as I was focused on getting it done quickly "I don't want to divorce you," Layton spoke gruffly to me, that any other time, that would have swayed me but not today "I wanted a husband to be mine and not have to share him but talking now is pointless," I spoke as proceeded with the paper work, "Give me another chance Kara to make it right?," he spoke as I was signing the documents in front of me "This is your chance to make it right, now sign the papers," I said as I stared at him without blinking "I know I was wrong every couple hits a bump and we can save our marriage," Layton continues with his explanation "You had a year to confess your sins, a year to make it right and yet you didn't learn when I found you fucking her on the office table that I bort and placed in your office?," I questioned "Or the fact that you allowed her to come into my house remove my husband wardrobe in the name of clean suits at work?," I said with my eyebrow raised "Or the fact that it was a known thing in your building that's why I was never allowed to come to the company or to your parents house for our weekly dinners," I mused while trying to keep my emotions in check when I saw his head lower while I was providing my facts to him and started laughing at his puppy dog look.
Realizing that I wasn't gonna change my mind he signed the paperwork with tears in his eyes, I was disgusted at him for even thinking to retract his bullshit now that I saw it all with my own eyes. Once I received the divorce agreement I floated out of the building by passing Layton who looked like his entire world just collapsed but I paid him no mind and just happily walked out of the building with a smile stretched across my face. "Ain't you suppose to be sad?," my brother asked as I hopped in the car beaming happily when he took in my tears rolling down my face "Don't cry over him," my brother wrapped his arms around me as I cried my eyes out and my brother pulled back starting the car and leaving the courthouse.
We had driven for about twenty minutes before I noticed that we were at the gym that we frequented as teenagers. "I thought this would be a good idea for you to let off some steam.," Tori spoke as he handed me some tissues to wipe my face. "So you want to go in?," he asked as he was already out of the car and standing beside me with the door open, I nodded and made my way out of the car and headed inside. Upon entry a blur of a person suddenly launched themselves at my brother who had a soft look on his face as he stared down at the girl who was in his arms, not feeling in the mood to be polite, I turned and walked off to change and find myself a spot to stretch before starting my routine.
Ten minutes later I was stretched and gloved up, with my focus on the punching bag before I set a timer and just worked all my aggression out. The feelings I bottled up over the course of my marriage, the loss of my dreams and aspiration that I gave up for him to succeed and for the hard work that will now dwindle to nothing. My anger was heightened when I thought of Natasha legs wrapped around Layton that it drove me to attack the bag with hits that exceed my small stature. I pounded it like a crazy person and only stopped when I ran out of breath and my body slumped to the ground. Breathing heavily I felt exhilarated as I struggled to breathe air in to my lungs but happy none the less.
"We are leaving Joseph Parker," my brother called as I flipped him off as I lay their panting "Get it all out?" my brother mused as he had the girl from earlier in his arms that I frown then pointedly stared at her then back to him,
Getting the hint he, blushed before he spoke "This is Amanda Riley, my girlfriend," he spoke softly as he played with her hair, so I stood up walked towards them while trying to stabilize my breathing "Nice to find you got a girlfriend," I spoke as I nodded at her and made my way out to the showers. The water pressure in the showers here we're what most business liked as it worked the tense muscles after you strained them like crazy. Showering then changing into a pair of pink Nike track pants and matching shirt and sweat shirt to match my Pink Nike air max as I exited the changing room to see my brother's girlfriend still in his arms as the chatted softly. "Kiss her bye bye lover boy," I teased as both of them blushed at my words before exiting the building and hopping straight into the car.
