~â˘Â°â§Â°â˘~ A few days later: The past few days, Nadia had been acting like she didn't know the Nikolai she was living with was a fake. She cuddles with him at night, and they even had sex the previous night, and she kind of enjoyed it; she actually did. She thought she wouldn't since she knew he wasn't her husband. However, she felt she was betraying her husband, so she took contraceptives to prevent pregnancy. Even now as she lay in his strong arms, she was feeling horny. She loved sex after she married Nikolai. His insatiable appetite for sex made it feel as if their bodies were constantly seeking one another, igniting an intense and passionate feeling that she had never experienced before. Which was why she believed he was seeing someone else because of his love for sex, but she couldn't voice her suspicions because each time he returned home, he would be engrossed in spending time with Katya and often left the same day. That's why, determined to uncover the truth about hi
~°â˘ââ˘Â°~ Colombia: The morning sunlight streamed through the office glass wall as Mr. Sergio stepped inside, his shoes tapping against the floor. âGood morning, Mr. Black,â he greeted warmly, his voice resonating in the quiet space. Lucas, seated behind his desk, met his gaze with a slight nod and offered, âHave a seat.â âThank you,â Mr. Sergio replied, sitting in the chair across from Lucas. He opened the leather briefcase resting on his lap, revealing a pile of documents, flash drives, and a brown envelope. He pulled out the envelope and several neatly stacked files and placed them before Lucas, his expression turning serious as he reported âInside this envelope, you will find screenshots from CCTV footage of you and your parents. Some were captured here in Mexico, while others trace back to Italy.â As Lucas processed the information, Sergio continued, âI don't know how the change came about, but your parents were very, excuse my words, poor when your mother was pregnant. They
~â˘Â°â°â˘~ The next morning: Sicily, Reina's eyes snapped open at the sharp sound of her bedroom door clicking shut, a subtle echo that broke the stillness of the room. Instantly, she was enveloped by the intoxicating masculine scent of Xavier, a mix of woodsy cologne and something uniquely him that sent a shiver down her spine. Rubbing the sleep from her eyes, she quickly swung her legs over the edge of the bed and walked across the room with a sense of urgency, drawn to the magnetic presence that filled the air. She opened the door, and peeking outside, she scanned the corridor, but the hall was empty. Disappointed, she stepped back inside, pulling the door shut. Reina completed her morning routine with a sense of satisfaction; Xavier was back, and she wanted to look her best. She carefully chose a long, beautiful, white, sleeveless, bodycon, backless dress that hung on her curves perfectly. She straightened her wavy hair, giving it a sleek, polished appearance, then styled it
Andre smirked inwardly as he looked after Xavier's retreating figure, seeing he had successfully achieved his goal. However, Reina, on the other hand, continued her meal as if nothing had happened. She was trying to be the mature one and act like she was okay with Xavier's question when every fiber of her being told her Xavier was talking about himself. The thought that Xavier loved another woman awakened a possessiveness she didn't know she possessed; she wasn't this angry even when she found out Lucas got Bianca pregnant and loved her. That's why she decided to not change out of her clothes like Xavier wanted; she wanted him to feel a small portion of the pain she was feeling. She saw the finger marks on his chest when he carried her, and she had an inkling it wasn't Yolanda who left those marks. She hates him; she's boiling with anger. But since he displayed his anger even when she was trying to be understanding, then fine, it takes two to play this game after all. âMummy, can

Please read at your own risk. ~~~ The moment Reina and Alexandre walked out of the mansion, Xavier, who had been looking after her retreating figure, his expression darkened into a venomous glare as he turned to one of the bodyguards standing nearby and said, âTell the men to get ready; I'm going out.â âYes, boss,â the bodyguard said as he walked out of the mansion to go and fulfill his boss' request. ~â˘âŞÂ¤âŞâ˘~ After trailing Reina for the past four hours, Xavier, dressed in a black sweatpant and sweatshirt with the hood over his head, turned to leave the amusement park when he saw the face he didn't wish to see. He started walking over to where Reina was, but then her smiling face turned to him; he was about to smile when he noticed how her expression turned to one of surprise, then urgent, as she muttered, âLucas.â That's when he realized she wasn't looking at him, but behind. Xavier stood there as he wa
It was dark when Xavier's sports car came to a screeching halt at the parking lot of his hotel. He got out, slamming the door shut, and made his way up to his luxurious penthouse. As he entered, he headed straight for the bar and poured himself a generous amount of whiskey and downed it in one swift motion. "Damn it!!" he cursed, smashing the glass hard against the wall, where it shattered into pieces on the floor. Grabbing another glass and the whiskey bottle, he made his way to the bedroom. He sat on the floor and pulled off his shirt, and he leaned against the bed. âWhat have I fucking done!â he yelled, recalling Reina's painful expression, her tears as he ruthlessly thrust into her. âI'm sorry,â he muttered, seeing her wanting to go to that bastard after everything that had happened between them, after she fucking told him she loved him; his anger, combined with his remorse for cheating on her with Nadia, prevented him from thinking straight. He was huge, and taking a woman b
Xavier quickly jumped out of his car, his heart racing with a mix of urgency and anxiety as he hurried to his bedroom, each step quickening his pulse. Upon entering his bedroom, his gaze was instantly drawn to the woman sprawled on his bedâthe sheets pooling around her like gentle waves. She lay there, naked, her hair cascading across the pillow. Dried bloodstain marred her shoulder where he had marked, while her wrists bore the vivid trace of a bluish-purple bruise, a testament to her desperate attempts to escape the cruel grip of the handcuffs that bit into her skin when she attempted to break free. The crumpled sheets around her indicated the fierce struggle she endured from trying to release herself. He approached the bed with a heavy heart, climbing it to check her pulse, seeing how her body was still and unresponsive. A wave of relief washed over him when he felt her weak but steady breathing. He unclasped the cold metal of the handcuffs from her wrists. Gently, he lifted he

He looked at Alexandre's face and said, âHear that? Your daddy is here. Do you want to see him one last time before I blow your"âAndre pointed his finger to his temple and flicked his thumb and addedââYour brain out?â he asked, looking at Alexandre, who looked back at him with an emotionless gaze. Angry, he lifted his hand, connecting it to his cheek; that's when he finally got a reaction out of him. Alexandre said something, but it came out muffled due to the tape sealing his lips. âYou want to tell me something?â Andre asked and reached for the tape and pulled it off. âWhat did you want to tell me?â âI wish you had two lives.â Alexandre said in a cold voice, his icy gaze fixed
However, the bodyguards realized Reina was missing and went searching for her, and they were currently making their way to the camera room to check the mall's footage.âMiss, are you alright?â The driver of the cart asked, and a few onlookers had gathered around her.âI⌠I don't knowâŚâ Reina said, grabbing her head as her mind was in a frenzy and confused state.âReinaâŚ?â A familiar muscular voice said, and Reina looked in the direction of the voice and saw her two bodyguards, Antonio and Octavio.âAntonio and Octavio?â she said. âMiss Reina, we have been looking for you for so long; what are you doing here?â Antonio asked, approaching the Reina side and squatting. âI don't know,â Reina answered flusteredly, and her face was twisted with confusion.âYou have been looking for me? Why?â she asked.âMiss Reina, you've been missing for almost two years,â Octavio said as he scanned Reina's face with concern.âWhat are you saying? If so, why don't I remember anything?â Reina questioned as s
4 months later. Reina's eyes were fixed on Alexandreâs piercing green eyes that were staring back at her as she breastfed him. âWarrior, do you want to tell Mummy something?â Reina asked softly as she smiled widely at four-month-old Alexandre, who smiled but continued to suck on her breast. âMummy loves you very much, okay?â Reina said, and he smiled again as if he could understand his mother. Thirty minutes later, Alexandre had fallen asleep, and Reina softly tucked him in his cradle and turned on the baby monitor. She went ahead and pumped up breast milk into the prepared feeding bottles. After that, Reina decided to soak up to relax her tired muscles. As the warm water began to relax her, Reina rested her head on the headrest of the bathtub; she closed her eyes just as the image of Xavier's shirt stained with red lipstick flashed in her mind, and her eyes flew open. âXavier, I'm sorry,â she muttered dejectedly as she sat up. Three days ago, when Xavier arrived home, she had
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, IâŚâ 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'tâŚâ 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, IâŚâ 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 goodnessâŚâ 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

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 theyâŚ?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
âMotherâŚ!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. âYouâŚâ 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
