~•°☆°•~

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. “Mummy, can

    Trigger Warning: This chapter contains mature content and sexual scenes. 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, “Tell the men to get ready; I'm going out.” “Yes, boss,” the bodyguard said as he walked out of the mansion to go and fulfill his boss' request. ~•▪¤▪•~ 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, “Lucas.” 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. “What have I fucking done!” he yelled, recalling Reina's painful expression, her tears as he ruthlessly thrust into her. “I'm sorry,” 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 bed—the 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, “Hear that? Your daddy is here. Do you want to see him one last time before I blow your"—Andre pointed his finger to his temple and flicked his thumb and added—“Your brain out?” 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. “You want to tell me something?” Andre asked and reached for the tape and pulled it off. “What did you want to tell me?” “I wish you had two lives.” Alexandre said in a cold voice, his icy gaze fixed

    Reina’s heavy eyelids fluttered at the soothing sound of a woman’s voice drifting through her haze. The gentle touch of a hand brushing her hair and tenderly caressing her face felt like home after a long and rough day. For a fleeting moment, a thought flashed in her mind: ‘Was she dead?’ because the touch was the same gentle touch of her mother that used to soothe her during restless nights and her soft voice. “I'm sorry, mi querida,” Carlotta murmured, her voice laced with heartfelt sorrow. “You have been through so much, carrying the weight of your parents’ death all by yourself. Tía is deeply sorry—truly sorry for abandoning you, my brother.” Carlotta said, as she leaned in closer, her intentions filled with affection, she was about to place a kiss on Reina’s forehead, but the sudden creak of the door swinging open halted her movement. Xavier stepped into the room, the air thick with tension as Carlotta took in his appearance; her expression shifted as she demanded calmly, “Wha

    Lucas paused, momentarily at the soft whisper of his name brushing against his ears like a gentle breeze. Curiosity piqued, he turned to investigate the source of the sound. However, when he gazed in the direction the sound came from, his gaze fell upon the broad back of a figure dressed in a black hood, seemingly in an argument with a woman he couldn't see her face. Not seeing any familiar face, he shrugged slightly, dismissing whatever thought. Shaking off the sensation, he continued on his way toward the parking lot. He had visited the amusement park because it was where he and his parents visited when he was a kid. But he ended up recalling his time with Reina at an amusement park years back, how he took Reina's cotton candy and ate it all at once. He remembers how she hit him on the chest and ran away. He and the bodyguards had searched for her tirelessly until he found her in the photo booth; it turned out the long line outside was caused by Reina's refusal to exit the booth.

    After breaking the hug, Xavier gently spun Reina around. He pressed a lingering wet kiss on her shoulder, sending a shiver coursing through Reina's body, leaving her momentarily breathless. Xavier gently slid the delicate straps of her dress off her shoulders and pushed it down her hips, allowing the fabric to fall down her figure, pooling around her feet. Reina wrapped her hands around her body, suddenly feeling cold from the air conditioning, goosebumps erupting on her body. Xavier, noticing that, swiftly scooped Reina up in his strong arms, and they both locked gazes as Reina circled her arms around his neck. On reaching the bathroom, Xavier stepped into the inviting warmth of the bathtub. He sat down with Reina in his arms, the water rippling gently around them. “Is the water temperature okay for you?” Xavier murmured softly into Reina's ear, his breath warm against her skin as they settled into the tranquil water. The gentle ripples lapped at them as she nestled comfortably ag

    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

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… he's going back. All this while, I… 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. She had been very depressed at dawn when they got on the bus, but now she felt
