Reina's eyes flew open at the warm sensation tickling her face, lingering tantalizingly on her lips.âXavier?â She murmured softly, her voice thick with sleep as she blinked and focused on the familiar face hovering above her. âAmore mio, did I wake you?â Xavier's deep voice enveloped her, his fingertips grazing her cheek with a gentle tenderness. He settled down beside her, a comforting presence that made the room feel warmer despite the soft morning light filtering through the curtains. Reina shook her head, sitting up. âAre you going somewhere?â Reina asked, noting Xavier was all dressed up.âYes, thereâs a little problem at the base I need to handle myself,â he replied, his expression serious yet softening as he looked at her.âOhh,â Reina sighed, a wave of disappointment washing over her, causing her shoulders to slump slightly. Xavier noticed, cupping her face in his firm yet gentle hands and tilting her chin so their eyes met, locking their gazes with an intensity that made R
"Ahh...â The uneasy cry of a woman could be heard coming out of the bedroom of a hotel suite. The bedroom door swung open, and a man dressed in his signature black jeans, black shirt, and black boots walked in. His perfectly trimmed dark hair was disheveled like he had passed a hand through it countless times, and his stone-cold expression made him look like a grim reaper who had come to take the soul of the poor woman inside the room. However, when his fierce gaze swept over to the naked petite woman twisting on the bed, he released a breath he didn't know he was holding and climbed up the bed at the speed of lightning. His trembling hands cupped her beautiful face that was flushed crimson with beads of sweat forming on her forehead. He caressed her smooth cheek with his thumb as he breathed out a soft, âMicetta.â Sensing the strong male hormones around her, Reina, feeling hot and needy, wrapped her hands around the man she thought was her husband's neck and leaned in toward the m

Read at your own risk. ~ ⧠~ A woman in a black lace gown that enhanced her flawless fair skin walked out of the kitchen. Her beautiful face was swollen, and her eyes were red, an indication she had been crying a very long time. Yes, Reina just returned from her parents' burial; she was mourning their sudden death. Yet the first thing her husband demanded on reaching home was for her to prepare him coffee. Knowing how much he loved her coffee, she yielded and prepared it, hot and creamy, just like he preferred. With elegant steps, she approached him with a mug of coffee. âHere is your coffee, mi amor,â Reina said, handing the coffee to the devilishly handsome man seated on the sofa. His thick eyebrows were knitted to
Reina looked at the two with hot tears falling down her face. She was in immense pain; it felt like a fist was clenching around her heart; she couldn't remember how to breathe. She clutched her chest as she looked at her husband spanking and squeezing Bianca's ass. How Bianca will pull away from the kiss and moan breathlessly with her head thrown back, Lucas leaving trails of wet kisses and bite marks on her neck and shoulders. There was no doubt this wasn't the first time. There were days she found lipstick stains on Lucas' shirt and even brief, when he returned from work, giving her a vivid imagination of what might have happened. She told Bianca, and Bianca accused Lucas' secretary. However, when they confronted Lucas' secretary, Reina found out the poor lady was a lesbian. Reina had confronted Lucas, and their arguments always ended with her trying to please Lucas for doubting him. The mystery woman she was searching for was her best friend all along. Lucas, in a husky, longing vo
Reina took a relaxing bath and applied medication to the bruises on her face with Amaliaâs help. The tantalizing scent of sizzling tortillas, eggs, and bacon welcomes her upon returning to her room. Her gaze went to the tray holding covered dishes, orange juice, and a jug of water resting on a table in the corner. The maid, as stubborn as Reina, still managed to sneak her food as a form of gratitude before she left. "Madam, I will leave you to get dressed; please enjoy your meal. I will leave the door open for your convenience." Amalia said. Reina nodded with a warm smile. The moment Amalia left the room, Reina sank onto her bed, tears streaming down her bruised face. She tried to conceal her pain. She didn't want to show how broken she was in front of everyone, especially her husband. But now she couldn't hold on any longer. It hurtsâit hurts so bad. Why? Why does this keep happening to her? Why did she have to endure the agony of rejection over and over again because of who her par
Reina made her way to the living room an hour later, the soft glow from the chandelier casting a warm light across her features. Her slightly tousled curly hair framed her face as she surveyed the room, her eyes glinting with curiosity. She was dressed in a stunning champagne mermaid gown with a silver diamond-embroidered lace design artfully appliquéd with sequin accents. The dress hugged her curves with a flattering basque waistline that accentuated her silhouette. Its deep v-neckline, held delicately by fine spaghetti straps, added a touch of elegance, while the sheer bustier bodice infused the ensemble with a hint of sensuality. The light fabric shimmered softly, catching the light with every movement, transforming her into a vision of grace and allure. She was wearing a diamond necklace and earrings that accentuated her beautiful long neck and a silver mirror stiletto, accessorized with diamonds. The faint sound of her heel against the tiled floor drew the attention of everyone in
âFifty million,â Xavier announced, causing the air to thicken with gasps and whispers. The crowd turned, their curiosity piqued, eager to catch a glimpse of the enigmatic figure wearing a golden mask who had casually tossed around such an astonishing sum like it was merely pocket change. âFifty million! Fifty million going once, fifty million going twice... Sold!â The auctioneerâs voice rang with finality. âLetâs give a round of applause to our generous bidder for acquiring our stunning centerpiece,â the auctioneer announced, a note of excitement lacing his voice. The crowd erupted into applause, their clapping filling the air with vibrant energy. Alfonso stood up and made his way to retrieve the necklace that had captured everyoneâs attention. âNow that the bidding has concluded, letâs move to the hall and enjoy the party,â the auctioneer announced, his tone upbeat. However, Lucas, growing increasingly agitated at the fact that he lost to the golden mask man, abruptly stood and stor
âWhat the hell is wrong with you?!â Reina yelled, getting off the bed and heading for the door, which was being banged on by Bianca from outside, but before she could reach it, Lucas seized her by the arm, carried her and threw her on the bed. He swiftly climbed on hovering over her. âSince you refused to tell me the truth, I'm going to punish you till you confess!â Lucas snarled angrily as he ripped Reina's dress, exposing her to his eyes that instantly filled with lust. âI told you I don't f*cking know him," Reina said, struggling against him, but he pinned her hands above her head and sealed her lips. His kiss was rough, and demanding, as he continuously bit her lips. He pulled away, and said. âHe gave you a fifty-million-dollar necklace! What do you take me for?!â "What?" Reina's eyes widened. 'The necklace is that expensive? Then she herself won't believe her claims; why would the man give her something so expensive?â âWas he your first? Was he better than me?!â Lucas asked
Reina's eyes flew open at the warm sensation tickling her face, lingering tantalizingly on her lips.âXavier?â She murmured softly, her voice thick with sleep as she blinked and focused on the familiar face hovering above her. âAmore mio, did I wake you?â Xavier's deep voice enveloped her, his fingertips grazing her cheek with a gentle tenderness. He settled down beside her, a comforting presence that made the room feel warmer despite the soft morning light filtering through the curtains. Reina shook her head, sitting up. âAre you going somewhere?â Reina asked, noting Xavier was all dressed up.âYes, thereâs a little problem at the base I need to handle myself,â he replied, his expression serious yet softening as he looked at her.âOhh,â Reina sighed, a wave of disappointment washing over her, causing her shoulders to slump slightly. Xavier noticed, cupping her face in his firm yet gentle hands and tilting her chin so their eyes met, locking their gazes with an intensity that made R
The next morning, sunlight filtered through the curtains as Laura, Xavier's mother, slowly stirred awake from her deep sleep. She opened her eyes, and as she blinked, her heart skipped a beat when her eyes landed on a figure looming against her door. Panic surged through her, and she let out a piercing scream, the sound echoing off the walls of the room, which suddenly felt much smaller and more suffocating.âHey, hey, calm down, it's me.â Alfonso's deep, raspy voice coaxed.âAlfonsoâŠ?! What are you doing here? Inside my room?â She asked, her face twisted into a frown.âUm,â Alfonso began, scratching the back of his head before continuing, âThere is an emergency at the base, and the boss is getting ready, so I thought I would see your beautiful face before I left.â âOh, thank you. I'm so flattered,â Laura replied, her voice dripping with feigned enthusiasm, before her demeanor shifted, and she snapped, âDo you want to die?!â âMaybe,â Alfonso retorted, his tone surprisingly bold, al
âDid you miss me, mi amor?â Lucas asked, grinning.âHow did you get in?â Reina asked, looking in Xavier's direction, and like she had expected, he was approaching them with a deadly expression.âOh, about that, I got the invitation from your lover's father,â Lucas responded.âHow is that?â Reina asked as she couldn't understand why Xavier's father would do that. Questions creeping into her mind as she tried to make sense of Lucas' words.âBecause I'm his son,â Lucas revealed, his grin widening.âWhatâŠwhat?â Reina stuttered, her eyes widening with disbelief.âYes, mi amor, it turns out your lover is my brother, or I say, my little brother,â Lucas taunted, angry lines appearing on his forehead.âNo,â Reina muttered as she shook her head in denial and added weakly, âYou're lyingâŠââNo, I'm not,â Lucas said, his grip around Reina's waist tightening as he added in a low growl. âYou've been fucking my little brother, mi amor! And to think you even just fucked him a few minutes ago, and you'
An hour later, Xavier emerged from the steamy confines of his bathroom with Reina in his arms, and he gently sat her on the bed. Just then a knock echoed against the door. He walked over and opened it to reveal Dr. Emiliano alongside Olga, whose faces lit up with a knowing smile the moment their eyes landed on him. âWe brought everything you requested,â Dr. Emiliano proclaimed, as he tried to keep his voice steady and professional. But before he could continue, Olga held up a hand dryer, her eyes sparkling with mischief. âAnd a hand dryer! Didnât I tell you it would come in handy?â She asked Emiliano as she cast a sneaky glance at Xavierâs damp hair, letting her gaze linger.âYes, yes, my woman is always right,â Dr. Emiliano replied, a hint of admiration lacing his tone. Xavier frowned slightly, feeling a strange mix of amusement and unease at their loving banter. With an air of aloofness, he interjected, âIâm ready when youâre done with your little reunion.ââSorry,â Dr. Emiliano
âWere you going to fuck her if I didn't arrive?!â Reina demanded angrily. This was the last she was allowing others to stumble on her emotions. âReinaâŠâ Xavier said, reaching for her hand, but she recoiled from his touch and slapped his hand away.âDon't fucking touch me! Answer me!â She snapped.âYes! He would have been deep inside me if you had learned to stay out ofâŠâ Nadia didn't finish speaking when Reina silenced her with a hard slap. She wanted to vent her anger, and the person she was already angry at just gave herself on a silver platter.âShut your mouth, you shameless and unfaithful woman! Taking delight in cheating on your husband with his friend!â Reina shot angrily.âReina, please... Iââ Xavier began, but Nadia, who was clutching her cheek, interrupted him in an angry voice.âHow dare you lay a hand on me?!â Nadia let out. Retaliating, she swung her hand to slap Reina, but Xavier intercepted, angrily seizing Nadia's hand midair, and angrily shoved her aside; she twisted
âAhh, I love how rough you are handling me,â Nadia moaned, leaning into Xavier as tears of pleasure began to form in her eyes. Xavier, seeing that, pushed her away as she began coughing rapidly. âCut to the chase; I know you purposely misled her!â Xavier growled, tucking a hand in his pocket.âNoâŠâ Nadia let out with a feigned astonishment before explaining, âI just wanted you to know itâs been a month since I last saw my husband. Iâm pregnant, and he wonât answer my calls. But since youâre like a brother to him, I was thinking you could help me speak to him since the both of you are here.ââYou expect me to believe that?â Xavier questioned with a raised eyebrow. âNo, because I know itâs you, Xavier,â Nadia said, placing her fingertip below Xavier's chest as she slowly and seductively began tracing up and stopping right on his chest as she demanded, her voice trembling with pleasure. âWhere is my husband, Xavier?ââHe didnât attend the event,â Xavier said, feeling his breath hitch
âReina? What are you doing here?â Olga asked, her voice laced with surprise as she rose to her feet the moment Reina stepped into the penthouse. She could feel the air suddenly charged with tension.âWhy didnât you tell me?â Reina demanded, her words cutting through the silence like a sharp knife. Olga's gaze fell upon the glistening tears that streamed down Reina's cheeks, and she moved closer, concern etched across her face.âWhat are you talking about? And why are you crying?â Olga inquired, her tone steady yet filled with a deep worry.âThe fact that Xavier is already married and has a daughter!â Reina cried out, her voice rising in anguish, the weight of her own acknowledgment hanging heavily in the air.âNo, I think thereâs a misunderstanding,â Olga replied, her brow furrowed as she tried to process Reinaâs frantic words. Confusion danced in her mind as she searched for clarity.âMarried?â Dr. Emiliano interjected, standing up from the sofa, his expression a mix of confusion and
âYou have a daughter?â Reina choked out, her voice barely above a whisper, as the weight of the moment settled down on her. She gazed up at Xavier, her heart racing in a chaotic rhythm. In that fleeting instant, she had hoped she was mistakenâperhaps the little girl wasnât running towards them, but rather racing to someone behind them. Or maybe, just maybe, the child had confused Xavier with the strange man who bore his striking resemblance. But deep down, she knew she wasn't wrong; Xavier unmistakably knew this little girl.âDaddy,â Katya exclaimed, throwing her arms around Xavierâs legs, her face lighting up with innocence and joy.âKatya? Where is your mommy?â Xavier asked, kneeling before her, his brow furrowed with confusion.âI'm right here,â an alluring voice exclaimed from ahead, and Xavier looked up just as Nadia appeared from the crowd, walking toward them in a stunning wine-satin strapless gown that shimmered under the light. The dress had a daring slit right above her left
âI wouldn't advise that,â came Alfonso's cautious but teasing tone.âWhat the fuck?â Xavier exclaimed, spinning around in surprise to find Alfonso standing behind him. âWhat the hell are you doing here?âHowever, before Alfonso could respond, Alexandre's bright voice sliced through the tension.âMummy!â Alexandre called out, his little legs carrying him swiftly toward his mother. The air in the room shifted as all eyes turned toward the elevator, where a striking figure that momentarily stole everyone's breath stood. âYes, my love,â Reina replied, her voice soft and warm as she bent slightly to cradle Alexandre's cheek in her hand, a gesture filled with the kind of affection only a mother can provide. âWow, Mummy! You look so pretty, like the stars!â Alexandre exclaimed, his innocent delight lighting up the space. A wave of smiles spread among the onlookers, each face reflecting the childâs admiration for his mother.âThank you, my sweetheart,â Reina said, her smile glowing as bright
