~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
“Xavier?” Reina said, the moment she opened her eyes and realized she was in Xavier's arms in her bed and inside her room. How did she get into her room, and why did Xavier come to sleep in her room? The only thing she remembers is she and Xavier putting Alexandre to bed and walking out of his room. That's all. She sat up, gently lifting Xavier's arm around her, but his eyes shot open, and he held her gaze for a moment before he abruptly sat up, his hand gripping her shoulder, as he softly began rubbing her arm. “Amore mio, you're awake,” Xavier asked worriedly as he cradled Reina's face in his palm, his thumb rubbing her cheek. “Are you alright?” He asked, searching her face as tension began swirling within him as he saw the perplexed look on Reina's face as she looked at him. “How am I here? And why are you here?” She asked, and Xavier's heart skipped a beat; he took her hands in his and began. “Reina, yesterday, I took you to the top of the mountain, and you fainted. You remembe
After an hour of soaking herself inside the bathtub, Reina stepped out of the bathtub, the water dripping down her body as she approached the shelf and took a towel as she began to pat herself dry.She walked out of the bathroom, and after applying lotion and her favorite perfume, rose and jasmine,. She entered her closet, her eyes instantly drawn to the red lingerie she got at the boutique she met Lucas. After slipping on the lingerie, she pulled out a drawer and took out the amber glass anal plug together with the lubricant she got and walked back into the bathroom.After cleaning it, she read instructions on how to use it, and following the instructions, she applied the lubricant on its smooth surface, and after inhaling and exhaling to calm her racing heart, she inserted the anal plug, and fuck, it was so uncomfortable, yet, she didn't miss the tingling sensation that coursed through her. It was new and different; she would enjoy it. Reina checked the time, and it was a few minute
This chapter is rated +18; please skip it if you are uncomfortable. ~~~ Xavier let Reina down in reaching the bed; he caressed her face gently, then moved his hand down, touching Reina's; he intertwined their fingers and brought it to his mouth, placing a lingering kiss on the back of her hand. He looked at Reina's face, his other hand cupping her cheek. She leaned into his touch as his thumb gently caressed her smooth skin as he sincerely told “Thank you, Micetta, for making me whole.” Reina smiled, her hand cupping Xavier's face as she confessed, her voice soft and sincere, “I'm sorry it took me this long. I love you, Xavier,” she said, her eyes glistening as she smiled softly. “I don't know when it started; perhaps it was that very first time I woke up in your arms. I felt safe. I was attracted to you, Xavier. But guilt held me back,” Reina spoke, her eyes never leaving Xavier's face. “Even now, that I know my husband instigated you to, I still love you.” She nodded when she
This chapter is rated +18; please skip it if you are uncomfortable. ~~~ “On your knees, Micetta,” Xavier instructed, his husky tone commanding and dominant. Reina's heart raced with anticipation and excitement, yet she was shy. She had never done this before, but with Xavier, she just wanted to explore everything. She got down from the dresser, looking down shyly as she avoided Xavier's intense gaze. However, just as she was about to go on her knees, Xavier tilted her head to meet his gaze, and his hand dropped down to her waist, pulling her closer to his firm frame. Reina's breath hitched when she felt Xavier's erection poking against her most sensitive place as the heat that was subsiding between her legs began rising at a quick pace. “Micetta, you don't have to if you're uncomfortable,” Xavier said, his thumb rubbing her lips sensually; he couldn't deny he had his own urges; he enjoyed penetrating her beautiful lips with his monster; he loved her small lips around his dick whe
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
The upcoming scene is rated 18+. Involves bloody scenes; please skip if you're uncomfortable. ~~~ Xavier had reviewed the footage from three months ago and had the lady who served Reina the lemonade taken to his torture chamber in the underground base under the mountain. “Who instigated you?” Xavier mumbled coldly, and the maid, whose body was trembling violently, shuddered at the sound of Xavier's voice. 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
Xavier had been in a coma for three months. It turned out he had not recovered from his head injuries during the explosion four months ago, and when the van knocked into his car, he had suffered internal bleeding, combined with him being shot twice.For the past three months, Reina had been undergoing intense training.And today, she was able to take down ten men all at once after a heated sparring, and they also didn't go easy on her.Her face was painted black and blue from their fierce attacks, but Reina had managed to defeat them all. Reina walked out of the bathroom after a relaxing bath and applied medicine to the bruises on her face when Warrior burst into her room. Panting.“He's awake,” he informed her, and Reina in her bathrobe rushed out together with Warrior. They were still in Medellín, in the Black's mansion.Dr. Emiliano was checking Xavier's vitals when Reina arrived. But Xavier didn't once look at her, and Reina found it strange.“How is he?” Reina asked Dr. Emiliano
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
