REIGN I carried Cora in my arms out of the garden. What I had planned to be a special moment ended up being ruined by the scum who called himself her husband. I could see Cora's pain, just as I could see that she was trying really hard not to break down.I passed my car and walked over to hers. "Where are your keys?" I asked."In my bag," She replied.I realized she had left her bag behind and made her stand on her feet. "Just wait here, okay? I'll be right back." I said to her before walking back to the garden. I saw Lucas, who had just gotten up from the ground, and ignored him.He stared at me silently as I walked toward the table and picked up Cora's bag. I began to leave afterward but stopped, turned, and said to him, "Cora is mine and that will never change. In the future, refrain from disrespecting her privately or publicly otherwise, I wouldn't be as lenient as I was today. This is your first and last warning."He eyed me cautiously as though he was afraid I was going to atta
CORAAs I drove away, I tried to steady my hands which were shivering. Seeing Reign's ex-girlfriend made me feel a little guilty, even though he had told me that I wasn't the reason why they broke up.It was obvious she was still in love with him, but what could I do? If Reign were also in love with her, I would voluntarily walk away with a broken heart. However, he wanted me. It was only natural for me to choose myself over Lisa. She could make good on her threat if she wished, but I would not give up Reign because of her. I too deserved to be loved by the man I loved. I deserved happiness.I couldn't deny though that I felt a little uneasy leaving the both of them together, but it was the best I could do.When Reign carried me into my car and told me he was taking me home, my mind had imagined so many scenarios of how the night would turn out. I had even imagined what would happen if Reign wanted me to share his bed.Yes, it would be sudden but I would have gladly given myself to h
REIGNAfter Cora left, I stood outside my house for a long time thinking about the best way to handle Lisa. In the end, I still had to consider a lot of things, which meant I needed to choose my words carefully.The moment I went back inside, Lisa got up and took off her robe again. I gulped as I froze on the spot, staring at her."Reign, I don't want to hold back anymore," she said as she walked closer to me.Listening to her words, I recalled when we graduated college. At the time, I was so crazy about her that she was the only girl I thought about.That night, we had a party at my parent's house and drank a lot. I was so turned on that when she went into my room with me, I desired to get intimate with her.However, she told me that she didn't want to take that step until we got married. I stopped myself and never tried to touch her in that way again. We merely held hands and kissed briefly. That would have been enough if our feelings felt mutual. She was always aloof where I was c
CORAI contemplated calling Reign but eventually decided to give him a little time. So, I went into the bathroom and freshened up before lying on my bed. I finally dialed his number but to my surprise, Lisa was the one who answered. She once again referred to him as her man and called me a bitch before disconnecting the call.Even though I knew in my heart that Reign was over his ex, my heart still raced. It was obvious that Lisa didn't want to give up on him and was possibly fighting to still be in his life. I tried to put myself in his shoes and understand the difficulties he was going through just because he wanted to be with me.I waited for him to call me back but he didn't. I tried calling his number again but it was not reachable. Could Lisa have gotten her way?I stood up and shook my head, no, Reign wasn't a fickle man. However, he had a history with Lisa. They had been together for so long and a lot of things must have happened between them.... intimate things. What if...?"N
CORA.As Reign and I stared at each other, his sexy blue eyes, deep and expressive, captivated me with a magnetic gaze.His well-defined nose added symmetry to his face. His high cheekbones were proportionate, without being overly prominent.His sensual lips were naturally alluring, their contours subtly inviting and complementing his smile which exuded charisma with a subtle playfulness that danced in his eyes.And his well-groomed beard added a touch of rugged charm, which would leave a lasting impression on anyone, including me.He had a commanding height, broad shoulders, well defined muscles, and sculpted chest. His posture exuded confidence and his trim waist made him unbelievably attractive. Looking at his body, it was no wonder that he was so strong and could knock off a man with just a punch.Seconds and minutes passed by but we remained lost in each other's gaze, our eyes drilling into the other's.The sound of his phone ringing brought us back to the present and we both smi
MONALISAI opened my eyes and the person I saw sitting beside me was my father. As I sat upright, I recalled everything that happened last night and covered my face in shame."Are you okay?" My dad asked.I shook my head. How could I be? I never thought a time would come in my life when I would sink as low as I did last night. It took so much for a prideful person like me to throw myself at him.I didn't believe Reign would reject me till the very end. Remembering how he had attacked my neck last night brought tears to my eyes. The Reign I knew would have never tried to harm me, no matter the circumstances. It seemed I no longer mattered to him."Reign brought you back home last night, saying he had put you to sleep. What exactly happened between you two?" My dad asked."Reign doesn't want me anymore," I cried."But how can that be?" My dad asked. "It is no secret that he is head over heels in love with you. Why would he want to leave you?"Hearing my dad's questions, I took a trip do
REIGNI gazed at Cora as she struggled to come up with an answer to my question.I found myself mesmerized by the way her long and velvety lashes moved up and down while she blinked.Her brows were thick but shaped like the crescent moon. Her eyes were like pools of deep enchanting hazel, reflecting warmth and mystery. Her lips, a shade of delicate rich pink, ignited the fire within me, making me want to taste them all over again.The contours of her face were gracefully sculpted, with a gentle curve of a smile that added an extra layer of allure, creating a captivating blend of elegance and charm.She had a petite figure with delicate features that made me want to envelop her in a warm embrace and keep her safe from the world.She was perfect for me, in every way, and when she was with me, I truly knew happiness.Although I knew that she would not consent to living with me, I still asked the question to tease her. I wouldn't want her to live with me until she was free from Lucas. I co
CORAI couldn't deny that I was surprised to see Avery's mom, but I ought not to have been. She was in on the plan to humiliate me from the get-go.Moreover, this was her daughter's husband's house, so to speak, but how did she get in? Lucas wasn't home and I knew Avery wasn't as well because the car she had driven out in the morning was not outside.It was funny to hear her ask me stupid questions when legally I wasn't the trespasser, especially since Lucas hadn't yet given me the divorce I so badly wanted.Seeing her become humble and stutter in front of Reign gave me a sense of satisfaction because he was my man. She seemed really surprised to see me with him, judging by the look on her face. It got me wondering if she had met him in person before.I suddenly recalled how Avery had boasted that she was going to end up with Reign and toss Lucas to me. Could she have said the same thing to her mom?Thinking about it, it dawned on me that Avery didn't love Lucas. First off, making him
