~~~The previous night~~~

In a club a few meters from the hotel, Natalie Romano was sitting on a sofa with a half bottle of expensive whiskey in front of her. She reached for the bottle and poured herself another glass and gulped it down.

“Damn you! Alfonso!” She exclaimed in a drunken voice, "Am I not pretty?!” She poured herself another glass and gulped it down.

Natalie has been obsessed with Alfonso since childhood, but the arrogant bastard never spared her even a glance. She used to do all stupid stuff, even putting her life in danger, just to have him come to her rescue. However, recently she found out from one of the guards she paid to report all of Alfonso's daily activities to her that Alfonso was seeing someone again after the previous one.

She got pictures of them being intimate. But yesterday, she found out he proposed to the girl. She had wanted to find that bitch and kill her. But she didn't want Alfonso to hate her. Unable to take more of the pain, she escaped from ho

    A few minutes later, Reina arrived at Lucas's suite. Seeing the bodyguards at the door, she realized why the man had been able to enter their suite; Lucas had left with them. The bodyguards acknowledged her arrival with, “Madam.” Reina let out a forceful smile as one of them opened the door for her. On entering, she saw Lucas walking out of the bedroom in a white shirt tucked into his signature cream trouser. But his expression switched when he saw her. “Mi amor,” Reina said, stopping in front of him. “What are you doing here?” Lucas asked, his voice cold and dismissive as he turned to walk away, but Reina’s fingers wrapped around his wrist, her grip firm yet pleading. “My love,” she began, her voice quivering with emotion. “I came to see you. Why did you move into a new place? Why didn’t you come back to our suite? I was waiting for you.” As Reina spoke, the hope in her eyes gleamed like fragile glass, ready to break with any harsh word. At her words, Lucas smirked, a bitte

    As the video played out in front of her, a wave of disbelief washed over Reina. Tears kept falling down her cheeks as she sat on the edge of the sofa, the flickering light from the screen casting shadows across her anguished face. She could hardly fathom the reality of what she was witnessing. She never would have believed it if someone had told her. For the four years she had been married to Lucas, she had never taken control in their intimate moments, to mention riding a man’s dick; she didn't even know she could do it. But now, there it was—evidence. Lucas had often expressed his frustrations about her lack of enthusiasm in their intimacy, yet there she was... Feeling utterly devastated by a betrayal she hadn’t even known she was capable of. Her finger trembled as she pressed the delete button. Erasing the video. She turned to face Lucas and handed the phone back to him, desperation etched in her features. “Lucas, please believe me,” she pleaded urgently, her voice cracking wit

  • Betrayed By My Abusive Ex-Husband: Pampered By The Devil    Chapter 17: Recurring dream

    Reina's eyes shot open, her heart racing as she sat up, drenched in her own sweat. She was having a recurring dream where she was breastfeeding a newborn baby with piercing green eyes staring back at her as he sucked on her nipple. His piercing green eyes locked onto hers with an intensity that made her heart swell with love. He latched onto her breast, warmth radiating between them, a bond so tender it felt real—until it was shattered. Out of nowhere, a woman in a flowing black dress whose face she couldn't make out due to the flimsy black veil on her head came and seized the baby from her, yanking him away with a swift, ruthless motion. Panic surged through Reina as she sprang to her feet, her body fueled by an instinct as she lunged toward the woman to reclaim her baby. Yet, as if trapped in an invisible web, the distance between them stretched impossibly far, each step she took forward, as the room echoed with the heart-wrenching cries of her baby, a sound that pierced through t

    After giving Xavier the needed medication, Dr. Emiliano walked out of the penthouse and found Alfonso leaning against the wall with a cigarette in his fingers. He took it to his lips, taking a drag, and blew smoke rings into the air. “Little brother,” Dr. Emiliano purposely called, knowing how his brother hated being called that. Alfonso turned to him and grinned and asked with a raised brow. “I can see you have a death wish?” “No, it's you who has a death wish. I don't know what happened with Xavier, but he gave his life before, and he would again if he had to, so long as she was happy. You of all people know how far he would go for her, even if he has to
” Emiliano sighed, not saying what he wanted to say, and patted his brother on the shoulder and said, "Mum misses you; come and see her one of these days.” Alfonso gave a slow nod, his eyes following Emiliano as he strolled away, heading toward the elevator door, which opened to reveal Yolanda, holding his little Warrior by

    The moment Reina walked into Xavier, everyone in the reception area gasped. The atmosphere shifted with an unspoken tension as every gaze turned toward her, wide with a mixture of awe and concern. Whispers erupt through the crowd, rising in anxious murmurs, each one laced with the knowledge of Xavier's notorious reputation—his ruthless treatment of women who intentionally dared to throw themselves at him. Just then, Xavier’s voice sliced through the chatter, cold and commanding, resonating with a chilling authority that silenced the room in an instant. “Where do you think you’re going with that?” A dark, icy voice asked above Reina's head, sending bolts of shivers down her spine and an unexpected throbbing down her lower region; her legs turned jelly. Getting hold of herself, Reina pulled away and looked up, only to be lost in the mesmerizing greens. Reina blinked, and without a word turned to walk away, but a firm grip on her arm pulled her back. Reina looked up at Xavier's face wi

    The meeting with the board members had taken longer than expected. It turned out one of the reporters had managed to release a video of him with Reina. Although his face did not appear in the footage, Reina's was visible. How her eyes widened the moment the camera focused on her. As Xavier replayed the video on his laptop for what felt like the hundredth time, a sense of unrest settled within him. He doesn't know why, but for some reason, something about Reina's reaction in the video struck him as someone who had endured a great deal of pain. He found himself watching the video again, completely losing focus on the meeting. Meanwhile, the meeting continued to drag, the room filled with murmurings about the hotel’s looming crisis. The hotel’s clients had raised vehement concerns over privacy violations and are demanding for the situation to be addressed by the hotel management to be rest assured incidents as such wouldn't repeat. Xavier glanced at the watch strapped to his wrist, i

    “I-I heard it from... I don’t know!” Reina shouted, her voice trembling as she struggled beneath Xavier, the weight of his presence pinning her down. Desperation flickered in her gaze, searching for a glimmer of understanding amid the chaos. Frustration boiled over in Xavier at her answer, his voice low and dangerous as he growled. “Why would you claim to be my wife?!” His fist punched the pillow just inches from Reina’s head in a fit of rage. The air crackled with tension as Reina’s eyes widened in shock. A gasp escaped her lips as tears pooled in her bright gaze, the hurt, fear, and confusion evident in her expression. “I'm sorry! I’m not your wife. Please, don’t hurt me
” Reina whispered, her voice and body trembling with fear as tears streamed down her temples, glistening in the dim light. “I’m sorry, Micetta, I didn’t mean to lose it,” Xavier said, his brow furrowed with guilt. He gently cupped her cheek, his touch both tender and conflicted. He leaned in, hoping to share a

    After Reina left, Xavier, with bloodshot eyes, watched from his phone, his heart racing as Reina walked into the elevator, not turning to look back once. It was clear how desperately she wanted to escape his presence; she didn't even ponder his words for just a second when she ran off. “Boss, it started to rain a few minutes ago? Shouldn't we stop her?” Alfonso blurted out, but his words died in his throat under the weight of Xavier’s seething glare. Xavier swiftly switched to the footage inside the elevator.Through the video, he saw Reina lash out in frustration, kicking the cold, metallic wall with a force that left her wincing in pain. She passed her hands over her hair and bent down, hugging her knees. She cradled her head in her hands, fingertips tugging through her hair in exasperation, before bending down to wrap her arms around her knees. In that moment, she appeared small and vulnerable, a contrast to the fierce spirit he had come to know.Inside the elevator, Reina began t

    Laura was awakened by the sound of her phone ringing, she stretched out her hand to pink it up when another hand took, she opened her eyes and saw her son standing there. “Xavier
son?” she murmured, rubbing her eyes as she sat up. Xavier, who had seen it was his father calling, answered the call and put it on loudspeaker. “Laura my love.” Enzo's voice sounded, full of confidence and arrogance. Xavier gestured at his mother to speak. “Enzo, why did you call?” “I just want to hear my wife's voice, is that wrong?” “Enzo, are you for real? We've been divorced for eight months, you call me now to speak such nonsense.” Laura said angrily, she can't believe the nerve of this man. What did she even see in him? Such a total jerk. “We're divorced, but I want you back as my wife.” Enzo said loudly, and Laura scoffed as she replied, “Dream on. We were through the moment you put your signature on the divorce papers without batting an eye!” Laura burst out, and just then Alfonso entered her

    Laura had fallen asleep when they arrived at Xavier's mansion. Alfonso got out and walked to her side to open the car when the car Xavier was riding in came to a stop beside theirs. Alfonso smirked and opened the car door and carried Laura bridal style. Xavier looked at Alfonso carrying his mother and got out of the car. Xavier looked at Alfonso with a grim expression and said, “Meet me in my study once you send her to her room.” Alfonso nodded and walked ahead. ~ Xavier loosened his tie as he dropped himself into the swivel chair in his study; he pinched the bridge of his nose as he shut his eyes. A lot has transpired over the past two months. Numerous attacks have targeted his underground headquarters here in Sicily, Colombia, and Russia. These assaults came from various enemies, but he was acutely aware of the identity of the mastermind orchestrating them. After much contemplation, he came to the decision of transferring Alfonso to Russia, believing it would be prudent

    The ride back from the hospital was filled with a suffocating and oppressive silence, thick enough for a knife to cut through. Both Alfonso and Laura busied themselves with their own thoughts, each silently vowing not to break the silence first. The tension in the car was palpable, wrapping around them like a fog as they navigated the familiar road. Alfonso, lost in a whirlwind of contemplation, was so distracted that he barely noticed the yellow light turn red ahead. The sudden realization jolted him, and he reflexively slammed on the brakes. The abrupt halt sent Laura lurching forward, but the seatbelt clasped around her securely, holding her back from the impending impact of the dashboard. She inhaled sharply, her heart racing in response to the jarring interruption of her swirling thoughts. “Are you alright? Do you feel pain in the stomach?” Alfonso inquired worriedly, his hand softly caressing Laura's stomach. Laura's cheeks heated up as Alfonso checked her so gent

    Xavier was about to turn down the corridor when he heard Yolanda's pleading voice.“I'm sorry.”He frowned as he walked out and saw Reina about to walk down the stairs. Everything happened so fast before he could register; Yolanda turned and pushed Reina with great force.“Reina, watch out!” He yelled, but Yolanda had already shoved her. Xavier ran over.Yolanda's face turned pale as her knees gave out under her at Xavier's voice.What Xavier saw on reaching the stairs was Lorenzo hugging Reina in his arms. He let out a breath of relief and asked Reina,“Are you alright?” Reina, who still hadn't recovered from her fright, inhaled and exhaled shakily before pulling out of Lorenzo's arms. She turned to look at Xavier before nodding with a small, “I'm fine.” Xavier nodded and turned toward Yolanda, seated on the floor in a sorry state.“What gave you the courage?” Xavier inquired, his voice smooth yet laced with an underlying tension, like the eerie stillness that comes first before

    Xavier knelt in front of Reina and took her trembling hands. “No. Amore mio, I will die without you. I'm sorry I wasn't there when you needed me the most. I'm also sorry for not asking your opinion before bringing another woman into our home. But what do you mean by me having sex with Yolanda?” Xavier asked with a dumbfounded expression. Reina looked at Xavier's confused expression with a frown and said, “Because that's exactly what you did! Are you going to deny it?” “No, no. I won't deny something that never happened. That night after I left the hospital, I wanted to get drunk and ease the pain. I also regretted what I said to you back at the hospital.” Xavier explained remorsefully, his grip on Reina's hands firm and desperate. “However, I discovered that Yolanda had been residing in the penthouse. After learning of her pregnancy, I decided to let her move in with us. I left her and went to sleep. I was so inebriated that I fell asleep as soon as my body made contact with th

Involves bloody scenes; please skip if you're uncomfortable. ~~~ Xavier had reviewed the footage from three months ago and had the lady who served Reina the lemonade taken to his torture chamber in the underground base under the mountain. “Who instigated you?” Xavier mumbled coldly, and the maid, whose body was trembling violently, shuddered at the sound of Xavier's voice. She turned and saw Xavier approaching her with a murderous aura. “I—I don't know. Please trust me. I received a package; inside were the instructions, a sachet containing pills, and a picture of my little son tied up. It was written they would kill him if I don't give the madam the drug. I'm sorry, but I had to do it. My son is my life; I couldn't lose him,” the maid sobbed as she explained. “You didn't want to lose your child, but my wife and I can?” Xavier asked, exuding a chilling aura. “I'm sorry
 Please forgive me.” “I forgive you. But we're going to play a game. I will

    Reina locked herself in her room after she left the dining table. “He is leaving! Xavier is fucking returning to Yolanda the moment he regained his strength!” Reina yelled, crying. She picked up her phone and called her aunt Carlotta. “Reina? What happened? We spoke not too long ago.” Carlotta asked, hearing Reina crying. “Aunt, Xavier

 I thought there must be an explanation for what happened between him and Yolanda, but I was wrong
" Reina continued to cry. “Oh, my dear. Please stop crying. I know it hurts, but my opinion still stands. Yolanda is cunning; she might have had those pictures photoshopped back then or maybe used some of her schemes. You can't let her win.” Carlotta explained, and Reina could hear the determination in her voice. “But she's pregnant with Xavier's child. And—” Reina began, but Carlotta interrupted her. “My niece, really?” Carlotta facepalmed herself on the other end; she shook her head in disbelief that that was her

    It was a few minutes past 8 in the morning when Reina and Alexandre alighted at the gate of Nanny Cynthia. The only outstanding house among all the buildings in the area, thanks to Don Santiago. Reina inhaled deeply before knocking on the metal gate. She saw the entrance door open, and a young woman whom Reina knew was Nanny Cynthia's granddaughter walked out. She smiled happily on seeing Reina and hurried down the stairs to come and open the gate. “Miss Reina,” Agatha greeted happily, “Hello, Agatha. How have you been?” Reina asked, smiling at Agatha, who took her luggage. “I'm doing fine, Miss Reina. Who is this handsome young man?” Agatha asked politely, smiling at Alexandre. “My son, Alexandre.” “Wow, Grandma never told me you had a son. Please come in; she would be happy to see you both,” Agatha said, respectfully gesturing ahead with her right hand. Reina smiled and walked ahead with Warrior.
