last update Last Updated: 2025-01-02 23:46:52

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,

    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

    “Is it true?” Reina demanded, the moment she heard the door swing open behind her, her shoulders stiff with tension as she anticipated Xavier's answer. Xavier stopped behind her, his powerful presence overwhelming Reina's senses as he held her by the upper arms, his thumbs rubbing her shoulders soothingly as he said, “Amore mio, I'm sorry.” “Why did you sleep with her?” Reina asked, turning to face him. However, instead of providing her answer, Xavier sighed, rubbing his hands together before passing it over his face and hair. Reina hit him angrily and said, her voice trembling with pain and betrayal, “Oh, I know why, because you weren't satisfied after all
” Xavier cradled her face and kissed her, her words getting swallowed by the kiss. Tears fell down Reina's face as she responded to the kiss. “I was drunk; I don't recall anything.” Xavier said huskily after they broke the kiss. He caressed Reina's face and kissed her on the forehead. “I love you. I know you don't want her here

    A black Maybach came to a halt at the entrance of the Romano villa; inside, Natalie reached for her bag and asked, “Are you coming in? I can introduce you to my mother.” But Lucas shook his head and replied, “I don't want to run into your cousin. Maybe we can arrange a dinner, and then you introduce me to your mother.” Natalie smiled and took Lucas' hand and said, “My cousin doesn't live here; he lives in the outskirts of town. So you can come in if you want to.” Lucas' interest piqued at the mention of Xavier's location. “Why?” “Can I tell you a secret?” Natalie asked, leaning in when Lucas nodded and whispered into his ear, “My cousin is a mafia. With the police constantly meddling in our family's underground businesses, um, our family has a safe house hidden in the mountains where the current head of the mafia and his family live till he retires.” Lucas' eyes widened at the revelation. “Oh nice, I didn't know. So does that mean your cousin is living alone in that place? I bet

    After Lucas left, he instructed his driver to send him to the firing range. He wanted to vent his anger after the revelation. He didn't care about all the hundreds of yeses ringing in his head that Reina was Xavier's wife; she's still his wife, and he will claim her back. Reina can only be his. He will kill Xavier if that's the only way to have her back.~Thirty minutes later, Lucas arrived at the firing range. And after signing the waiver, the safety officer guided Lucas to a box after preparing his weapons, a pistol, a rifle, a sniper, and other firearms, making a total of five guns on the table in front of him.

    It was a few minutes past 6 pm when Lucas arrived at the location the private investigator gave him. He got out of the car and walked through the front lawn, and judging by how trimmed the grass of the lawn was, he realized there was someone accommodating the house. He climbed up the stairs, stepping onto the veranda, then pressed the doorbell. He had lifted his hand to press the bell once again when the knob turned. The door opened, and a middle-aged woman, Rosario, came into view. One look at Lucas' face that reminded her of her late sister, his gray eyes that were the exact color, she opened her mouth as the name, “Lucas?” escape it. Lucas frowned as a whirlwind of thoughts swirled in his mind. ‘How did the woman know who he was? Could it be that they knew where he was all this while but did not reach out to him?’ Before Lucas could voice his thoughts, the woman said, “Oh, my goodness, you are alive! I knew you didn't die. My boy,” she said, throwing her arms around Lucas, embra

    Xavier sat Reina on the bed and went into the bathroom. He returned a few minutes later and gently pushed her down on the bed, her hair spread on the pillow, her cheeks crimson as she held his gaze. Xavier smiled at her softly, and Reina returned it nervously, her body trembling slightly. She was shy now that she thinks about it. Even though she had had sex with Xavier, imagining him looking at her so intimately made her nervous and excited with anticipation at the same time. Xavier, seeing her nervousness, began to gently caress her thighs. He spread her legs wide and knelt between her legs. "So beautiful," Xavier breathed, his breath caught inside his throat as his eyes fixed on Reina's red pussy calling out to him. Reina, feeling bare and exposed, tried to clamp her legs shut, but Xavier's grip on her inner thighs, gentle but firm, held her in place. “Don't move; allow me to relieve you,” Xavier said, bending over and placing a lingering wet kiss on her closed pussylips, inhal

    After what felt like an eternity, Lucas finally reached his climax. He was sensible enough to pull his dick out of Ximena and cum on the sheets. Ximena lay there, her eyes bloodshot as her body was covered in sweat. ‘How did she end up like this? She met her long-lost cousin for the first time, and they already had sex?’ She was so tired after all the effort she used to push Lucas away, but he prevented her. Just then Lucas hovered over her, and that snapped her out of her thoughts. She pushed him away just as he asked her. “Are you okay?” Ximena scoffed, disbelief etching her features. She sat up and slapped Lucas hard across the face. “I asked you to stop. But you forced me. I hate you! I wish you had indeed died!” With that, she got off the bed and hurried out; lucky for her, there was no one in the corridor. Ximena had entered her room when she jumped in fright. “Marco, when did you come?” She asked, her voice trembling. “What happened to you? Did you cry?” Marco questioned,

Why?” she asked.“Miss Reina, you've been missing for almost two years,” Octavio said as he scanned Reina's face with concern.“What are you saying? If so, why don't I remember anything?” Reina questioned as s

    4 months later. Reina's eyes were fixed on Alexandre’s piercing green eyes that were staring back at her as she breastfed him. “Warrior, do you want to tell Mummy something?” Reina asked softly as she smiled widely at four-month-old Alexandre, who smiled but continued to suck on her breast. “Mummy loves you very much, okay?” 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. “Xavier, I'm sorry,” 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. “Amore mio,” 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, “I'm sorry, please look at me.” Reina finally looked up with a wet face and murmured, “Xavier, I

    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. “What's wrong?” He asked, “Do you not like the meal?” 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. “Did I miss an ingredient?”Xavier asked again, and this time Reina shook her head before saying. “Xavier, I love your cooking, but for days now, I don't

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. “Oh my goodness

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. “Ahhhh!” 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

'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, “What are you doing?” 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. “A secret passage?” Reina asked with surprise etched on her face. “Yes, Micetta.” “Since when has it been there?” “Years, 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? ‘Was he hiding something from her? Is it about the accident she had? What about her parents? Why hasn't Xavier said anything about them?’ At the thought, Reina's heart skipped a beat as tears began to pool in her eyes. ‘Was she with her parents during the accident? Did they

    “Mother

” 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 Reina’s gaze scrutinized the place, her face twisting into confusion on realizing she was in a hospital ward. “Why am I here?” 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
