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
CORAI came out of my new house all glammed up at seven and Reign was already waiting outside to pick me up.Earlier, we had gone back to his company and worked for a few hours before leaving. Reign promised to pick me up so I wouldn't have to drive and now, we were ready to go."You're a sight for sore eyes," he complimented me. I raised my brows in disbelief but he added, "Seriously, I can't remember the last time, I saw a lady rock a pink dress so sexily."His words made me happy, even though I believed I wasn't as beautiful or sexy as he claimed.My luggage was filled with new dresses I had bought prior to my wedding to Lucas, in hopes that we would attend a lot of dinner parties as a couple. Glad I would now have the opportunity to use them all. This was why I had told Reign earlier that he did not need to take me shopping.As always, Reign wore a suit and looked dashing in it. I was tempted to ask him why he had to look so serious when he was having dinner with his family. How
REIGNI saw the color drain from Cora's face and how shocked she looked. What I had thought would be a happy dinner for her had suddenly turned into an unhappy one.I became angry. If only my mom had mentioned that Lisa and her mom would also be present, I would not have brought Cora with me.I felt her body stiffen and she tried to pull her hand away from my hold but I wouldn't let her.I could also see the look of shock on my sister's face. It was obvious that she had initially taken a liking to Cora but that changed really quickly. She had never liked Lisa and always told me in the past that Lisa had me wrapped around her finger which was something she found upsetting.The expression on my dad's face had also changed to one of irritation, seeing that Cora's and my fingers were still intertwined together.I led Cora to the dining when everyone began to take their seats. As she sat beside me, I briefly squeezed her hand in comfort, hoping that it would make her feel better.Lisa's ga
CORAI gracefully walked out of the Fletchers' dining room, refusing to show my weakness and breakdown in front of them. I could not give Lisa the satisfaction. She had set a trap for me and without knowing, I had fallen into it. I never knew she was so cunning and I believed Reign didn't know as well.I'd been humiliated a lot of times but I did not feel as much pain as I felt in my heart. However, I could not stop thinking about Reign and the distressed look I had seen in his eyes.Was it because his family seemed to have turned against him or because I was humiliated? I hoped it was the latter. In the end, he was also a victim because Lisa had as well made him into a bad guy in the eyes of his family.What was I supposed to do now? They all probably thought I was a shameless two-timing woman who wanted their son for his money. I didn't know why I was unlucky most of the time but I didn't want to spend another second in that place.I wiped off the tears that threatened to pour out o
