Dreaming of the past has ten chapters. The last chapter will be posted shortly. Thank you for bearing with me. â€Love, Fireworks đ
"Ahh...â The uneasy cry of a woman could be heard coming out of the bedroom of a hotel suite. The bedroom door swung open, and a man dressed in his signature black jeans, black shirt, and black boots walked in. His perfectly trimmed dark hair was disheveled like he had passed a hand through it countless times, and his stone-cold expression made him look like a grim reaper who had come to take the soul of the poor woman inside the room. However, when his fierce gaze swept over to the naked petite woman twisting on the bed, he released a breath he didn't know he was holding and climbed up the bed at the speed of lightning. His trembling hands cupped her beautiful face that was flushed crimson with beads of sweat forming on her forehead. He caressed her smooth cheek with his thumb as he breathed out a soft, âMicetta.â Sensing the strong male hormones around her, Reina, feeling hot and needy, wrapped her hands around the man she thought was her husband's neck and leaned in toward the m

Read at your own risk. ~ ⧠~ A woman in a black lace gown that enhanced her flawless fair skin walked out of the kitchen. Her beautiful face was swollen, and her eyes were red, an indication she had been crying a very long time. Yes, Reina just returned from her parents' burial; she was mourning their sudden death. Yet the first thing her husband demanded on reaching home was for her to prepare him coffee. Knowing how much he loved her coffee, she yielded and prepared it, hot and creamy, just like he preferred. With elegant steps, she approached him with a mug of coffee. âHere is your coffee, mi amor,â Reina said, handing the coffee to the devilishly handsome man seated on the sofa. His thick eyebrows were knitted to
Reina looked at the two with hot tears falling down her face. She was in immense pain; it felt like a fist was clenching around her heart; she couldn't remember how to breathe. She clutched her chest as she looked at her husband spanking and squeezing Bianca's ass. How Bianca will pull away from the kiss and moan breathlessly with her head thrown back, Lucas leaving trails of wet kisses and bite marks on her neck and shoulders. There was no doubt this wasn't the first time. There were days she found lipstick stains on Lucas' shirt and even brief, when he returned from work, giving her a vivid imagination of what might have happened. She told Bianca, and Bianca accused Lucas' secretary. However, when they confronted Lucas' secretary, Reina found out the poor lady was a lesbian. Reina had confronted Lucas, and their arguments always ended with her trying to please Lucas for doubting him. The mystery woman she was searching for was her best friend all along. Lucas, in a husky, longing vo
Reina took a relaxing bath and applied medication to the bruises on her face with Amaliaâs help. The tantalizing scent of sizzling tortillas, eggs, and bacon welcomes her upon returning to her room. Her gaze went to the tray holding covered dishes, orange juice, and a jug of water resting on a table in the corner. The maid, as stubborn as Reina, still managed to sneak her food as a form of gratitude before she left. "Madam, I will leave you to get dressed; please enjoy your meal. I will leave the door open for your convenience." Amalia said. Reina nodded with a warm smile. The moment Amalia left the room, Reina sank onto her bed, tears streaming down her bruised face. She tried to conceal her pain. She didn't want to show how broken she was in front of everyone, especially her husband. But now she couldn't hold on any longer. It hurtsâit hurts so bad. Why? Why does this keep happening to her? Why did she have to endure the agony of rejection over and over again because of who her par
Reina made her way to the living room an hour later, the soft glow from the chandelier casting a warm light across her features. Her slightly tousled curly hair framed her face as she surveyed the room, her eyes glinting with curiosity. She was dressed in a stunning champagne mermaid gown with a silver diamond-embroidered lace design artfully appliquéd with sequin accents. The dress hugged her curves with a flattering basque waistline that accentuated her silhouette. Its deep v-neckline, held delicately by fine spaghetti straps, added a touch of elegance, while the sheer bustier bodice infused the ensemble with a hint of sensuality. The light fabric shimmered softly, catching the light with every movement, transforming her into a vision of grace and allure. She was wearing a diamond necklace and earrings that accentuated her beautiful long neck and a silver mirror stiletto, accessorized with diamonds. The faint sound of her heel against the tiled floor drew the attention of everyone in
âFifty million,â Xavier announced, causing the air to thicken with gasps and whispers. The crowd turned, their curiosity piqued, eager to catch a glimpse of the enigmatic figure wearing a golden mask who had casually tossed around such an astonishing sum like it was merely pocket change. âFifty million! Fifty million going once, fifty million going twice... Sold!â The auctioneerâs voice rang with finality. âLetâs give a round of applause to our generous bidder for acquiring our stunning centerpiece,â the auctioneer announced, a note of excitement lacing his voice. The crowd erupted into applause, their clapping filling the air with vibrant energy. Alfonso stood up and made his way to retrieve the necklace that had captured everyoneâs attention. âNow that the bidding has concluded, letâs move to the hall and enjoy the party,â the auctioneer announced, his tone upbeat. However, Lucas, growing increasingly agitated at the fact that he lost to the golden mask man, abruptly stood and stor
âWhat the hell is wrong with you?!â Reina yelled, getting off the bed and heading for the door, which was being banged on by Bianca from outside, but before she could reach it, Lucas seized her by the arm, carried her and threw her on the bed. He swiftly climbed on hovering over her. âSince you refused to tell me the truth, I'm going to punish you till you confess!â Lucas snarled angrily as he ripped Reina's dress, exposing her to his eyes that instantly filled with lust. âI told you I don't f*cking know him," Reina said, struggling against him, but he pinned her hands above her head and sealed her lips. His kiss was rough, and demanding, as he continuously bit her lips. He pulled away, and said. âHe gave you a fifty-million-dollar necklace! What do you take me for?!â "What?" Reina's eyes widened. 'The necklace is that expensive? Then she herself won't believe her claims; why would the man give her something so expensive?â âWas he your first? Was he better than me?!â Lucas asked
It was a few minutes past 5 p.m. when Lucas stepped out of his office and made his way towards his private elevator, the evening sun casting a warm glow through the glass walls. On reaching the reception, he made his way to the parking lot. A sense of lightness filled his chest after the conversation with Attorney Jose. He had even instructed his secretary to select the finest, most exquisite jewelry availableâsomething expensive to gift to his wife. He was wrong to mistreat her; he was going to apologize to her and restore the love that had once brought them so much joy. ~~~ Back at the mansion, Reina realizes that the necklace she received from the mysterious man the previous night was missing from her room. That's when she recalls the moment Lucas ripped her dress yesterday; she had felt a faint yank around her neck, an indication the necklace must be in his room. Determined to retrieve it, she manages to sneak into Lucas's room and is relieved to find Bianca asleep. After w
The car Xavier was riding in came to a halt after passing the threshold of his iron gates. Xavier stepped out of the car, his eyes bloodshot as his trembling hands were pulled into fists as he tried his best to control the whirlwind of rage swirling inside. He approached Reina, who was seated with her back toward him. The slight trembling of her shoulders hinted she was crying. âAmore mio,â Xavier whispered, stopping in front of her, but her head remained lowered as she nervously played with her fingers. Xavier knelt in front of her, taking her trembling hands, as he coaxed softly, âI'm sorry, please look at me.â Reina finally looked up with a wet face and murmured, âXavier, IâŠâ She couldn't speak as more tears continued to fall down her face. âI don't understand; did I do something wrong?â She finally asked. âNo, tesoro, blame me. I gave him the courage for him to act this reckless without thinking twice. But it ends today. Please don't cry, you're breaking my heart,â Xavi
Two months later. Xavier had finished serving Reina the food he had prepared for her. He was serving himself when he saw Reina take a spoonful to her mouth. However, the next thing he saw was Reina hurriedly pulling out some tissue papers before spitting out the food. Xavier stopped what he was doing and reached for her hand on the table and demanded, his voice steady and calm, betraying none of the tension within him. âWhat's wrong?â He asked, âDo you not like the meal?â He added, his brow furrowed with concern. Reina took the tissue away from her lips before turning to Xavier but remained silent, her gaze fixed on her untouched food. âDid I miss an ingredient?âXavier asked again, and this time Reina shook her head before saying. âXavier, I love your cooking, but for days now, I don'tâŠâ âEnjoy it?â Xavier completed her sentence. âI'm sorry, Amore mio, I've been forcing myself and eating what you cook for me, but I end up throwing everything out. I'm sorry, IâŠâ Reina tried

Reina obeyed, leaning over him and wrapping her arms around his neck, her fingers going up to his hair as she gently brushed her fingers up his nape and intertwined them in Xavier's hair. Xavier closed his eyes, overwhelmed by the intense sensations jolting through him at Reina's fingers caressing his skin. He grabbed Reina by the hips as he began guiding her, back and forth so her pussy was sliding up and down his dick, his balls hitting her asshole. âOh my goodnessâŠâ Reina cried out; she was so sensitive and shivery as Xavier continued to grind her pussy over his erection. Reina brushed her lips against Xavier's, leani
This chapter is rated +18; please skip it if you are uncomfortable. ~~~ âYou're very beautiful,â Xavier whispered against her nape as his hands went to her waist and he began slithering down her curves. âFuck, I need to calm down,â Xavier cursed under his breath, finding it hard to control himself. He unclasped her bra and pulled down her panties so she stood naked before him. His eyes raked her perfect body, her heart-shaped ass, and he began to circle her, stopping in front of her. Feeling exposed, Reina tried covering herself with her hands, but Xavier grabbed them, stopping her as he watched her intensely. He cupped her cheek, his thumb alluringly brushing her lips for a few torturous seconds before he began to move down her neck, her breasts, and playing with her nipples before he pinched them. âAhhhh!â Reina cried, feeling a heat pool in her legs; it was more intense than what she felt whenever Xavier kissed her. Xavier continued his escapade on her body, and Reina sucked
This chapter is rated +18; please skip it if you are uncomfortable. ~~~ Thousands of questions spiraled in Reina's mind as Xavier headed in the direction of his study. 'Why was he heading that way? She understands he told her he had prepared a surprise honeymoon. But why is he going to his study? Is the surprise perhaps there?' Reina's thoughts raced, but she couldn't voice her curiosity. She remained quiet as Xavier stepped into his study; she watched in confusion when he walked toward his desk and pressed a finger on the polished surface. Reina couldn't keep her mouth shut anymore and inquired, âWhat are you doing?â Xavier smirked; he had seen the curiosity in Reina's eyes, yet she didn't speak. Seems she got impatient. He spun around just as the secret door opened. âA secret passage?â Reina asked with surprise etched on her face. âYes, Micetta.â âSince when has it been there?â âYears, but where I'm taking you to is a surprise I prepared just for you a few weeks ago
Alfonso informed all the staff in Xavier's mansion about Reina, how they should address her, and keep their mouths shut. ~ It was afternoon when Xavier and Reina arrived at the mansion. She remained seated after Xavier exited the car. She was suddenly nervous. She didn't remember anything, and if she was right, what she remembered was their first encounter, but why does she feel something is amiss whenever she looks into Xavier's eyes? âWas he hiding something from her? Is it about the accident she had? What about her parents? Why hasn't Xavier said anything about them?â At the thought, Reina's heart skipped a beat as tears began to pool in her eyes. âWas she with her parents during the accident? Did theyâŠ?â âAre you alright, amore mio?â Xavier asked after opening Reina's side of the door and found her at the brink of tears. âWhere are my parents? Were they with me during the accident?â Reina asked, tears falling down her face. Xavier let out a shaky sigh before stretching ou
âMotherâŠ!â Reina exclaimed, sitting up, her heart beating wildly at the dream she had just had. She was about to place a hand on her racing heart to calm down when the door opened. She looked over, and her mouth hung open in shock at the handsome man who stood in the doorway. âYouâŠâ Reina breathed just as a happy smile started to form on her lips, and her cheeks turned crimson. She slyly, but quickly, tucked her hair behind her ears, an attempt to look presentable to the man at the door. She also wiped her lips with the back of her hand in case she had drooled. Just then another man in a white coat appeared behind him. That's when Reinaâs gaze scrutinized the place, her face twisting into confusion on realizing she was in a hospital ward. âWhy am I here?â Reina asked as she tried to recall how she ended up in a hospital. However, she was hit with a sudden severe headache and couldn't remember anything. Just the memory of her walking into Xavier at a coffee shop, which seemed to l
One week ago, Bianca and Lucas went to the club together. There she overheard some ladies' conversation regarding a sex trafficker named Nikolai. And after some investigation, Bianca spoke with the manager, who, after Bianca revealed her purpose, agreed to help her. But he also explained he couldn't just take the girl Bianca wanted him to take, but they had to go through the necessary paperwork and process, and also how the said person would be auctioned for the highest bidder to buy her. So the man gave Bianca the contact information of Nikolai but told Bianca to never tell him he gave her the information. Two days later, after deciding how to speak with Nikolai, Bianca called him. ~~~ Inside Nikolai's office, Nikolai and Xavier were in the middle of a discussion when his phone began to ring. He answered it on a loudspeaker, and a small woman's voice came through. âHello, am I speaking to Don Nikolai?â Nikolai shared a perplexed look with Xavier before answering. âYes, h
~ Seven and a half years ago ~ Reina's eyes flew open at the sound of her alarm, a broad smile appearing on her lips as she realized today was her nineteenth birthday. She got off the bed just as there was a knock at her door. âWho is it?â Reina asked, stretching out as her door opened to reveal her parents, with her dad holding in his hands a cake. âHappy birthday, mi hija,â Reina's mother said as she pulled her into a tight hug. âThank you, Mom,â Reina replied with a happy smile. Her father hugged her, and after making a wish, they left her to get ready. Reina had walked out of the bathroom when she heard the sound of her phone ringing. She approached it and saw it was Bianca. Smiling, she answered the call and took it to her ear. âHappy birthday, bestie,â Bianca's cheerful voice sounded from the phone, and Reina's smile widened. âThank you, Bianca. HowâŠâ Reina began, but Bianca interrupted her with, âUm, you know Lucas? The guy I introduced to you?â she asked, âOh yeah, Luc
