After helping Alexandre with his evening bath, Reina settled into the plush sofa as she lifted Alexandre onto her lap, his small frame nestling comfortably against her. With a warm smile, she reached for the book that lay on the table. She opened it; the familiar smell of paper and ink wafted up, and she began to read the story, her voice weaving through the words like a soothing lullaby in the cozy glow of the room. âOnce upon a time, there lived a pig mummy and her three little pigs. One day, when the little pigs were hungry, their Mummy pig went into the kitchen to prepare their meal, but she found there was no food; she checked her wallet, and all her money was gone too.â âOh, noâŠâ Alexandre said, and Reina smiled and continued. âNot knowing what to do, Mummy Pig told the three little pigs they were old enough, so she sent them to go and begin their life. But told the three little pigs to be careful of the big bad wolf in the forest." At Reina's words, Alexandre snuggled into hi
âNo, I can't lose him! It would kill me,â Reina exclaimed, her heart racing as she jumped to her feet. Driven by a surge of determination, she dashed into her closet, her gaze landing on a delicate black lingerie set that caught her eye. With practiced haste, she slipped into the silky fabric, the soft material clinging to her skin. Grabbing a luxurious black satin robe, she wrapped it around herself, and after applying a light makeup to enhance her features, she took a deep breath and headed towards Xavierâs bedroom. As soon as she stepped into Xavier's dimly lit bedroom and the sound of water running in the shower caught her attention, then a naughty thought came to her mind. She felt a flutter of excitement mixed with dread as she took off her robe, standing confidently in just her lingerie, the fabric embracing her curves. With each step toward the bathroom, her heart pounded louder in her chest as anticipation built within her. But then, as she drew nearer, her heart dropped as
~~ One week later ~~ Lucas, who was turning and tossing on his enormous king-size bed, sat up and got off the bed. He walked into his closet, slipped on a shirt and made his way out of the bedroom. He walked down the dim corridor and stopped in front of a door, which he gently knocked on and said, âMi amor,â his fingers wrapping around the knob as he turned it, pushing the door open. Three days ago, he had returned from work, only to find out Bianca had moved out of their room. He went to her, insisting she return to their room, and they got into an intense argument. Since then he hadn't spoken to her; he gave her the cold shoulder even at dinner. He had been patiently waiting, but she hadn't tried to start a conversation with him either. Three days ago: On entering the guest room and finding Bianca seated on a sofa browsing through her phone, Lucas demanded, "What's the meaning of you moving out?" He burst out, anger lacing his tone, the words sharper than he intended. However
~~A week ago~~ Xavier's gaze lingered on Reina as she walked out of the door. With a heavy sigh, he reluctantly placed the telephone back on the receiver, his heart heavy with an unspoken burden. He rose from his seat, but a groan escaped his lips as pain shot through him. He reached for the phone once more and dialed Dr. Emiliano, requesting his assistance. A few moments later, a sharp knock echoed through the quiet room, followed by the distinct sound of the door creaking open. Dr. Emiliano stepped inside, his posture slightly hunched as he entered the dimly lit space. âYou reek of sex,â Xavier pointed out bluntly, eyeing Emiliano critically. Emiliano, caught off guard, scratched the back of his head as he halted a few feet in front of Xavier, who was seated on the sofa, dressed in a fitted black shirt and black sweatpants that showcased his muscular frame. âI apologize, boss,â Dr. Emiliano responded, his voice tinged with embarrassment as he averted his gaze to the floor. âI
âAlfonso! You will stop right now; it's an order, and you fucking know the punishment for defying my orders!!â Xavier yelled after Alfonso. Alfonso stopped and punched the wall angrily, his knuckles turning red, as tears fell out of his bloodshot eyes. âShe's pregnant; she's fucking pregnant for another man. For that bastard!â Alfonso spat furiously. âWho was it?â Xavier asked calmly on reaching Alfonso. âLucas Black.â âWhat?! When?â Xavier asked, his brows furrowed in confusion. âThe same night you went to the madam hotel suite to reclaim her,â Alfonso answered, âWhat? How on earth did they even meet?â Xavier said, passing a hand through his hair, and added, âWhat do you plan to do now? I don't want her having that bastard's child!â âI love her man, you know since when. But it's time I let her go.â Xavier squeezed Alfonso on the shoulder and said, âDo what you think is right; you have my support; just don't hurt her. I will kill you if you do.â Alfonso smirked and repli
It was a few minutes past 10 pm when Xavier arrived home; the bodyguards at the entrance opened the door, and he entered. âBoss,â Dr. Emiliano, seated in the living room, greeted Xavier as he walked in. Xavier loosened his tie as he made his way up the stairs with Dr. Emiliano following him. Soon they arrived at Alexandre's door, and Xavier gently pushed the door open; however, the sight that met him was something he had been longing for for a long time. He quietly entered the room and approached the plush sofa ahead. âAmore mio,â he said, as he softly tucked the hairs in Reina's face behind her ear; a soft smile tugged at the corner of his lips. He took the book in Reina's hand and placed it on the table and gently removed her hand around Alexandre as he began to lift Alexandre from her arms, but he was surprised when Reina's eyes shot open as she protectively secured her arms around Alexandre, pulling him back. âIt's me. I want to put him to sleep,â Xavier said softly, and Reina
âXavier, my friend, if you're watching this, it means you woke up. Lucky bastard, I'm glad I won't be seeing you soon, since I'm already in hell. My wife and little princess, I don't want them to know I'm gone. I know you are smart, and you would come up with a way. Give her this box,â Nikolai said, and Alfonso, who was seated next to Nikolai's bed, waved the box he was holding, âGive it to her when my little princess turns 15. I've explained everything to them; till then, take my place. I..." Nikolai began, but blood started coming out of his mouth, and the rhythmic beep of the heart monitor filled the room, its persistent sounds breaking the tense silence as the machine recorded every heartbeat. Alfonso stood up just as Dr. Emiliano and other men in lab coats rushed to Nikolai's bed, and the video ended. Tears stung Xavier's eyes as he muttered, âThank you, buddy, may you rest in peace. I will take good care of your family.â End of flashback. ~âȘ°âąââąÂ°âȘ~ Presently: The clock had
Nikolai's eyes shot open at the feeling of a finger tracing the scars on his chest. âNadia?â he said when he opened his eyes and was met with Nadia's piercing ones looking down at him.âDid you have a bad dream, my love?â Nadia asked, her brow furrowed with concern as she observed her husbandâs tense posture. The look in his eyes suggested a turmoil that left her heart heavy; it was as if he hadnât expected to find her there beside him. A surge of emotionsâpain, anger, and jealousyâflooded her mind at the unsettling thought that he might have been anticipating someone elseâs presence, perhaps that of his lover?Nikolai sat up abruptly, his heart pounding in his chest as the hazy remnants of the previous nightâs memories rushed back to him. âFuck, this wasn't happening,â he cursed silently, shaking his head as he swung his legs over the edge of the bed, getting off, and headed toward the bathroom. But just as he did, he felt a soft hand encircle his waist from behind, pulling him back
Three days later. Reina hesitated as she reached for the doorknob. Today was the day for the board meeting and election of a CEO. But she wasn't happy; she had spoken to Alexandre to brighten her mood earlier, but as she reached for the door, she still felt empty. Why is Xavier treating her like this? Since that day she refused to go to the hospital with him; he was giving her the silent treatment. They slept in the same bed and everything, but he refused to speak to her. Last night, Reina couldn't stand him anymore. She tried seducing him fully naked, but he rejected her! Imagine her mood after that; she was angry; he dared to reject her. But sad he didn't want her anymore. Reina cried herself to sleep. What she didn't know is she was able to sleep soundly because Xavier cuddled her in his arms. Reina thought Xavier would speak to her as she got ready to leave, but he didn't; he just sat in bed typing on his laptop. Angry, she didn't even spare him a glance before exiting the be

Lucas growled, angrily strangling Natalie's neck. âLucas⊠let goâŠâ Natalie choked out, her face red from lack of oxygen as she hit Lucas' arm desperately, feeling herself out of breath. Lucas let go of her but delivered another slap to her face with the back of his hand. âLucas, you're crazy; get off me!â Natalie cried, her body trembling uncontrollably, from the slap he had inflicted on her, pushing him off. âI asked you who the fuck Alfonso is!â Lucas yelled once again. âWhat about you? Who is Reina? You kept calling me Reina at the hospital and when we made love. Who is she?!â Natalie screamed at his face as she struck him on the chest. âShe's my fucking wife! Don't tell me Alfonso is your husband. I fucking took your virginity!â Natalie's eyes widened, and her face turned
The next morning. Reina woke up but remained in bed, her eyes fixed on the ceiling as she was suddenly lost in thoughts. Xavier's sex drive was getting worse by the day, or was it her health that was deteriorating? She was finding it difficult to keep up with his pace now. Yesterday he was like a beast unleashed. The way he fucked her mouth. Thinking of it now, Reina's throat felt parched. He fucked her asshole, then her pussy. Even though she enjoyed every part, he was becoming more active and persistent. Yesterday too, she passed out again, and she didn't know what happened afterward. Because after cumming inside her mouth, he never came again. Maybe he came after she passed out? Reina snapped out of her thoughts when the bed dipped from Xavier's weight. âReina, are you alright?â Xavier asked, cupping her cheek tenderly. Reina rolled her eyes at Xavier's question, but then she noticed there was a serious look on his face. âI'm not alright, Xavier. Your sex drive is becoming wo
The next afternoon. Reina had just dozed off in Xavier's arms. He removed the hair covering her face and kissed her softly on the lips before releasing a long sigh. He just received news that his presence was needed back home. There had been an attack on his grandfather at the Romano mansion, and he had been admitted to the hospital. He knew Alfonso was doing a good job handling the situation, but he also knew Alfonso needed him around. He wanted to finish everything here and return. But Reina doesn't want him meddling. His methods would have been the quickest, but since she wants to do it on her own, he would give her three days; if she still doesn't attain a desired outcome, he will have no choice but to step in. Xavier's arms around Reina tightened; he had just closed his eyes when there was a knock, and his eyes snapped open. He looked down, and Reina was awake. âWhat is it?â Xavier asked, vexed by the interruption. âThe madamâs guest has arrived,â Simona answered from the ot
This chapter is dedicated to Terrilyn Taylor. Your support means a lot to me. †~~~ Reina felt like she was standing at the center of a battlefield with the sound of gunshots ringing in her ears the moment she heard Bianca's daring words. Followed by the way Bianca's eyes lingered on Xavier's face, then his body, as if she was about to climax after a wild sex. Reina looked up at the face of the man standing beside her, and he was looking at Bianca's face intensely. Something primal awakened in Reina's heart, and she slapped Bianca hard across the face. Not satisfied, she slapped her again, this time with the back of her hand. And damn, it hurt, but was absolutely worth it. âReina, you bitch!â Bianca yelled, lifting her hand to slap Reina, but Xavier caught her hand. Bianca was about to smile at him when Xavier pushed her away, feeling disgusted. Bianca fell on her backside. But she still decided to use her fall to her advantage and spread her legs, hoping Xavier could see
The moment the family of three stepped out of the bedroom, Reina got a whiff of sizzling omelette, toasted bread, and bacon; her mouth watered instantly. She was very hungry, after all the torture, she endured from the monster in a human form standing beside her. Reina let out an exaggerated sigh as she rolled her eyes at Xavier before walking toward the dining hall where the aroma was coming from. Xavier looked at her and sighed. âSimona? How are you here?â Reina asked, baffled by Simonaâs presence in the kitchen. âMadam. I came together with the boss,â Simona replied respectfully. Reina's cheeks heated as she registered Simona's words. âUmm. You were here last night?â Reina questioned, already feeling embarrassed. âDon't worry, I didn't see anything,â Simona said, playfully winking at Reina. Reina felt like an overripe tomato; she wished the ground would open and swallow her. She clearly remembers that last night, when she and Xavier were entangled in each other's arms
This chapter is rated 18+; please skip it if you are uncomfortable.~~~Xavier smirked wickedly before he gulped down the remaining fiery liquid. He put down the glass tumbler, tuning his full attention to the temptress stalking towards him like the lioness she was.Reina stopped in front of Xavier and gently climbed onto his lap, straddling him with her knees resting on both sides of his lap. She wrapped her hands around his neck. She smiled and leaned in, seductively rubbing her face against his side profile, before nibbling on his ear with her teeth.âWhy did you come here?â Reina asked softly, her hot breath tickling Xavier's ear; he grunted, his body shuddering as blood rushed to his already hard dick. Before Xavier could speak, Reina brought out her tongue, slowly dragging it over his ear. Her tongue trailing wet paths around his earlobe.âFuck!â Xavier cursed hoarsely as his arms circled Reina's slender waist; in a swift move, he pinned her on the sofa.âAhhhâŠâ Reina gasped in
Reina had wanted to go to attorney Joseâs law firm after leaving the company. But she was suddenly feeling fatigued, so she decided to go to the hotel and rest for the day. Inside the car, Reina took out her phone from her bag. It had been seventeen hours, yet there still was no call from Xavier, and her heart sank in disappointment. She decided to give Xavier a call anyway. Heaving a long sigh to calm herself, she dialed his number, and the call was answered on the first ring. âMicetta,â Xavier's soft voice came from the other side, and Reina let out the breath she didn't know she was holding before murmuring, âI miss you and Warrior very much.â However, Xavier didn't say anything for a few seconds before his voice sounded. âWhere are you now?â Reina felt disappointed by Xavier's answer; she had just told him she missed him, but he didn't say he missed her back. âCould it be that he had already gotten over her?â Before Reina knew it, tears were falling down her face, shockin
Two weeks later.Reina was dressed in an all-black trouser suit, a black wide-brim hat, and dark shade sunglasses, which made her exude a dangerous yet sophisticated aura as she alighted from the private jet at the airport. She looked up and smiled.âI'm back.âReina approached the waiting car in elegant strides. Behind her were three bodyguards, with Lorenzo as the leader.âMadam, where to?â Lorenzo, who was riding in the same car as Reina, asked after taking his seat in the passenger's seat.âThe Black Corp,â Reina replied.âYes, madam,â Lorenzo answered, and the driver began to drive.~~~An hour later, the car Reina was riding in came to a stop in front of the majestic building of the Black Corp. Lorenzo opened the door for her, and she smiled at him before walking toward the entrance of the company.However, the security guards at the door, after seeing who it was that had arrived, hesitated but still carried out the instructions of their new employer.âI'm sorry, Miss Black, but
