Prologue
Rayne's pov
I have been a vet for 3 years now, and I love it. I just opened up my own practice a year ago. I love working with animals. It's people I don't like to much. I always wanted to be a pediatrician, but I didn't think I could do it. I chose to work with animals because they don't judge you.
I am a plus- sized woman. People look at me and laugh. I have been teased about my weight all my life. Those haunting words are what prevented me from following my dreams.
I am a good vet. I worked hard to get my own practice. This is where I was meant to be. I was all alone here. Just me and the animals. I liked it that way. I enjoyed being alone.
My family keeps saying I need to find a good man and settle down. Find me a man that doesn't care about my size, and maybe I will. Men don't want big girls. They want little twiggy models that doesn't know how to eat. My knowing how to eat, and loving food was a problem.
I dated before, but it never went anywhere. They were always embarrassed to be seen with me. They wanted to stay in the bedroom, and I wanted more than that. So, I stay single. Less chance of getting hurt that way.
My secretary was on lunch, and I heard the bell go off. Great that meant someone was here. I hated talking with people. Guess it's part of the job to talk to people though.
I walked out front and stopped dead in my tracks. There at the front desk was the sexiest man alive holding a little puppy. Now this was a site that would leave any woman panting.
"Hi, are you Dr. Rayne?"
"Yes, how can I help you?"
"I found this little guy outside my office, and my friend told me about this place. I will pay to have him checked out. If you can't find his owners, I would be happy to take him home with me."
"Okay I will look him over and see if he has a chip. Just fill out this, and I will let you know when I know anything."
I took the puppy from his arms. When our hands accidently touched, I felt like I was on fire. It's been a long time since a man has touched me. I got his information then he left. I took the puppy back and started to look him over when my phone rang.
"Hello."
"Hey Rayne, it's me Josie."
Josie and I have been great friends since high school. She was now married and had a little boy of her own. I was so happy for her.
"Hey Josie, how are things going?"
"Well, I was wondering what you were doing Friday night."
"I have nothing planned. Why what's up?"
"Well, there is this doctor that works with Brantley that I would love for you to meet. It's not a date just come over for a cookout please."
I hated being set up. It never worked out. But I could never tell Josie no.
"Fine what time should I be there?"
"Oh, yay be here by 7. This is going to be great Rayne just wait and see."
We hung up, and I felt panicked. I knew this wasn't going to end well. Men just didn't like a woman with curves.
Kane's pov
I loved being a pediatrician. I knew since I was a kid that I would always be a doctor. But lately I felt like it wasn't enough. All I ever did was work. I was lonely. I wish I had a wife and child to come home too. All my friends are already married with kids.
Every time we went out, I was always the 5th wheel. So, I just stopped going out. I was doing a house call for one of my patients today. He wasn't doing very well, and I knew he needed to be hospitalized. This is the part of my job I didn't like.
Once I had everything set up for my patient to get to the hospital I headed to my practice. When I was walking up to the door, I heard a whimper from a box in front of the door. I ran over to it and saw a small frail puppy. I called my buddy Brantley and asked if he knew any good vets in the area. He told me to go to his wife Josie's friends vet hospital.
I picked up the little guy and took him there. I walked in but didn't see anyone. Then a beautiful woman came out from the back.
"Hi, are you Dr. Rayne?"
"Yes, how can I help you?"
"I found this little guy outside my office, and my friend told me about this place. I will pay to have him checked out. If you can't find his owners, I would be happy to take him home with me."
"Okay I will look him over and see if he has a chip. Just fill out this, and I will let you know when I know anything."
Our hands touched and it felt like an electric current went right through me. I left and wasn't in the car only a second when Brantley called me.
"Hey."
"Hey, did you find the vet hospital okay?"
"Yea thanks."
"So, what did you think of Rayne?"
"Honestly, she was gorgeous, but why are you asking?"
"Well Josie wants to play matchmaker. She invited Rayne over for a cookout. You interested."
"What time?"
"Be here about 6:30?"
"I'll be there."
"Okay see you later."
I hung up and hurried of to my practice. I wanted to be done on time so I could see her again. Maybe I wouldn't be lonely for long.

Looking at the divorce papers my lips curled up into a mocking smile. 'How big fool I am? How can I think that he will give a chance to this marriage? How can I forget that I was nothing more a tool in his eyes to vent his anger until his beloved Tara is back. Since, she was back, how can he let me stay there?' "After you will sign these papers, you will receive 100 million dollars as alimony." the lawyer added. Because of his words, I came back to my senses took the pen from him, and signed the name. I have also gotten exhausted from this marriage both physically and mentally. Even though I had wanted my child to be born into a complete family, I didn't want my child to have a stepmother and live miserably like me for the rest of his life. After taking the papers from my hand, the lawyer gave me the bank card, turned around, and was about to leave when he paused at the door. He then turned around and added, "Mr. Carter said that he hoped that you won't pester him, or you have to bear the consequences." The lawyer's words were like a knife stabbing in my heart, but I still nodded. Anyway, I also don't plan to have anything to do with him anymore. I just want to live a good life with my children. After the lawyer left, the ward fell into silence. I placed my hand on my belly and said to my children, "Baby, I am sorry, Mommy can't give you a complete family! But I promise you, I will do my best to give the love of both mother and father." 'As for giving one of my child, I will never do that. They are my babies and my alone. I and I will give birth to all of them and raise them no matter what.' Four Years Later... Anya came back to the country with her three kids, to inherit the company left by his grandfather...
