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 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. He put on the protective ear gear and glasses and reached for the pistol and started shooting.Imagine the target as Xavier; the first shot went straight to the bold 'X' on the heart.

    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,

    ~Sicily~ It was a few minutes past 12 PM when Lucas and Rosario arrived at the mall. Even though Lucas had insisted it was okay, he would just ask his driver to get his clothes from the hotel. However, Rosario insisted he came to the mall with her since the clothes they got weren't his size. They approached a luxury boutique. An assistant approached them with a warm smile and said, “Hi, welcome to our boutique. I will be your assistant to help you check out the clothes you are interested in.” Rosario points at Lucas and says, “I need clothes in his size.” Just then Lucas' phone started to ring. He brought out the phone, and it was Bianca. He smirked inwardly as he thought. ‘After refusing to answer all his calls, who is calling now?’ He turned to Rosario and said, “I will get this; you go ahead.” Rosario nodded and walked away. Lucas went to the dressing area, and just then his phone began to ring again. He saw a flimsy red lingerie on a mannequin, and he imagined how it would look

    “Reina...” the name slipped out of Lucas' lips. He had been looking forward to this, the day he would finally come face to face with Reina after almost two months apart. But this wasn't what he had anticipated, the expression on her face as she looked at him. “Reina, I can explain… please,” he said, reaching for her hand, but she recoiled away from his touch and demanded, “Tell me! Tell me it wasn't true! Tell me I heard wrong that the man I spent four fucking years of my life with didn't pay a random man to have sex with me!” “I'm sorry, mi amor; I regret my decision back then. I love you. I realized it too late," Lucas explained, his voice tender as he searched Reina's face for a sign of understanding. “Oh, I'm so happy; my husband loves me,” Reina exclaimed sarcastically, tears streaming down her face. Just then her eyes widened, as if recalling something, as she demanded, “So it was all a plan, you changing overnight? You really couldn't stand me, so you decided to set me up,

    The car Reina was riding in glided through the darkening streets. They had turned onto the forest route when suddenly, the headlight of another car from behind shone in the car. She turned to look back just as the bodyguard sitting in the passenger seat informed her it was the boss. Reina's heart skipped a beat as she thought of what to do; feeling out of ideas, she instructed the other bodyguard driving the car. “Keep driving; don't give him the impression we have noticed them, or…” Reina's speech was interrupted by the honking sound of Xavier's car. “Madam?” The driver awaited Reina's instructions. Reina could see the panic expression on the bodyguards faces. They were scared of the impending wrath Xavier would unleash on them. “Stop,” Reina ordered, and the car halted. Reina watched as Xavier, dressed in his signature all-black, got out of his car, still looking ravishing, even with the frown twisting his face and the deadly aura surrounding him as he approached. He wasn't weari

    Xavier, with Reina in his arms, walked out of the glass gazebo; he locked it and hurriedly walked back into the mansion, his heart racing as he inwardly chided himself. ‘How could he have thought he could take her there, knowing how much she cherished that place?’ Tonight, he felt happy with the way things were going that he forgot he didn't have to do anything that might trigger Reina's memory. Tonight he had wanted to show and tell her everything. That she was his wife, for God's sake. He can't anymore. He wants to go to bed with his wife in his arms. Her face to be the first he sees when he opens his eyes. ‘Is that too much? To want his life to be whole?’ On reaching the floor where their rooms were located, he had wanted to take her to his room but decided against it. Xavier gently placed Reina on her bed. He pulled out his phone from his pocket and dialed Dr. Emiliano, who answered on the first ring. “Boss,” his voice sounded. “Come to my wife's room immediately.” Xavier

    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.“Miss, are you alright?” The driver of the cart asked, and a few onlookers had gathered around her.“I… I don't know…” Reina said, grabbing her head as her mind was in a frenzy and confused state.“Reina…?” A familiar muscular voice said, and Reina looked in the direction of the voice and saw her two bodyguards, Antonio and Octavio.“Antonio and Octavio?” she said. “Miss Reina, we have been looking for you for so long; what are you doing here?” Antonio asked, approaching the Reina side and squatting. “I don't know,” Reina answered flusteredly, and her face was twisted with confusion.“You have been looking for me? 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…” She couldn't speak as more tears continued to fall down her face. “I don't understand; did I do something wrong?” She finally asked. “No, 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,” 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. “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…” “Enjoy it?” Xavier completed her sentence. “I'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, I…” 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. “Oh my goodness…” 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. “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…?’ “Are you alright, amore mio?” Xavier asked after opening Reina's side of the door and found her at the brink of tears. “Where are my parents? Were they with me during the accident?” Reina asked, tears falling down her face. Xavier let out a shaky sigh before stretching ou

    “Mother…!” 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. “You…” 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
