Ian's POV “Are you okay man?" Lucas asked as I took another glass of wine. He had not stopped asking if I was okay since I walked into his apartment two hours ago. However, I could tell from the furrow of his brows that he was genuinely worried about me. “I'm good bro. Are you gonna continue asking me the same question?" I asked as I tried to fill my glass with wine before Lucas took it from me. “I have known you for more than half of our lives, so I can tell when you are bluffing. What's going on with this girlfriend? Does Ashley know?" Lucas asked, and I closed my eyes in frustration. I already had more than twenty missed calls from Ashley, who did not have to tell me that she was pissed at the news, especially because it was my idea to keep us a secret, but now I had a public “girlfriend". How great!! “There is something about her," I spat out, and honestly, that was the truth. I had been thinking about Reina for the past two days. I even had my assistant run tabs on her in th

Reina's POV “Reina, why are you really doing this?" Anna asked me, and for a second, I stopped arranging the clothes we had gotten earlier. Why was I really doing this? When did I become this person who did not care for others? Did Ian deserve this torture I was putting him through? “I need to do this," I replied, unable to come up with a better answer. If I told her the truth, she would offer to help, and Anna had helped me more than I could ever repay for the past years since my mother had passed. I could not continue relying on her for almost everything as my job did not help our needs as much. “But why do you need to do this?" Anna asked again, her eyes filled with concern. I know her so much that I know she will not let this go. “I already told you because I have to," I said in a loud voice which surprised Anna. She said nothing but just shook her head and walked out. I sank onto the bed, dropping the cloth in my hand as if it were a lead weight. This was probably the first

Reina's POV “Who are you? Get aw..ay fr..om us!” I tried to shout but damn I was frightened and I bet they could see the fear in my eyes. But to my surprise, these men began to laugh, I didn't know why they were laughing though but it made me more terrified. “Re..ina what's happening? What have we gotten ourselves into?” Anna moved closer to me and asked with a shaky voice. Before I could reply to Anna's question, I heard the supposed leader of the group say, "You there!! Get them in the car.” The leader ordered his men. I couldn't believe what was happening. It felt like a dream. But as I was about to scream, someone hit my head from behind and I passed out. *********** When I slowly opened my eyes, I felt a throbbing pain in my head. I tried to move, but my body felt heavy and unresponsive. The last thing I remembered was being hit on the head from behind. I looked around the space and realized that I was sitting on a chair with my hands tied to the back. And also the place

Reina's POVAs soon as he asked me what I wanted, my heartbeat increased because this very question was what I had been waiting to hear. To finally be given an audience about what I needed to say. Do I just go ahead and tell him that money was what I wanted? Or would it seem weird? But damn I needed the money to take care of my brothers and father. I also needed money for my heart surgery.If anyone cared to listen to me and heard my story, I was sure that they would be willing to help me out. So why was my story damn hard for me to tell?“I am all ears Reina. Tell me what you want.” Ian repeated his question, interrupting my thoughts. His gaze was fixed on me, staring inquisitively at me.This was indeed the perfect opportunity, but still, it felt so hard, so impossible for me to say what I had in mind.“I… I… will have to think about what I want. And goodbye. I'm leaving now.” I said and immediately picked up my bag and walked out on him before he could even say a word.I could fee

Ian's POVNothing could be compared to how furious I was at that moment. Reina was stepping on my toes, real hard and if she had been a man, doing something else that equally made me this furious, I would have given her a hard blow right now.I kept giving her looks that could be denoted as deadly, but she still didn’t stop acting all sweet and innocent. Her pretence was beginning to get on my nerves and it seemed as though my parents were already believing in all of her lies and worst of all, they seemed to like her.“Okay, I think it’s time we go home. And Ian, since you are off work, why don’t we go home together? Get in my car.” My Dad said as he stood up."Oh no, Dad. I need more time with Reina. I need to speak with her about a few things, so you all can go home without me.” I said, trying my best to speak softly, so they wouldn’t figure out that something was wrong.“Alright then.” My Dad said and walked out of the restaurant with my Mom following closely behind.“I am going to

Reina's POVIt felt so nice to have hit a jackpot like this. My acting was so good that no one could ever think that it was all an act.I could see the look on Ian’s face and I could tell that he was clearly taken aback.“Awwwnnn, that's so sweet. So tell us, how did you feel about the kiss?” One of the reporters asked, with a smile.“I already said that it was the most romantic kiss ever. His being shy and wanting it in private was really lovely. He couldn’t wait to kiss my juicy lips, and that was why he had to drag me off to a secluded place.” I blushed as I spoke and I looked at Ian with my side eyes.It was certain that the video would have gotten to his family as well and that was going to be just perfect if that happened.The reporters kept asking questions upon questions but I ignored most of them because I was getting bored and tired already.Ian tried so many times to speak up, but I was always a second faster than him, so there was no way he could speak for himself. And oth
