Reina's POV

The chilly air that rocked my face immediately as I stepped out of the car reminded me that I was in the same place that I had sworn years ago that I wouldn't be coming back to, but this was different. Instead of moving us back to the house where everything had changed, we were standing in front of what I would call the most expensive penthouse in New York.

I took in a mouthful of breath until my heart no longer panicked like it had when we had stepped out of the pj, his private pj, I let him direct me to the elevator which took us up.

My heart kept throbbing fast, and I just couldn't let it stop. Could it be that I still had feelings for him, even with how he had treated me? My throat was parched. “Are you okay?” He threw a question at me. I nodded nimbly, trying to get the thought of the both of us all alone out of my head.

My heart soured at the thought that he was such a wonderful father, he effortlessly beat me to it. Karen had never been this happy in a while, she

  • Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back    Staying back

    Reina's POV“You are sick” I jabbed a finger into his chest because I didn't understand what exactly was wrong with him. His lips contorted into a scowl, “Try to leave then, I am giving you a few hours to anyway, but you won't be able to, the police and every single person will be on your heels when I accuse you of stealing my kids and I know that you wouldn't want to dent your family's name, only then will you know how sick of a man I am”I sauntered out of the study," Karen, Kelvin, we are leaving, right now!” I wasn't oblivious to the fact that he had stepped right out after me. His gaze was on me and I could swear as well that he had a smile on his face, but I didn't care. “ Mother, why?” Karen asked when I pulled her up, dragging them both to the elevator, “ Your grandparents want to see you, they have a house here in NYC and you will be staying there” I answered them, my fingers brushing against the elevator. I kept tapping on it," You can't leave, Reina, just give up and st

  • Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back    Sexual tension

    Reina's POVMy stomach twisted immediately I had placed a foot into the house. I shook my head to the side, trying to get out the thought that threatened to consume me, but I just couldn't. " Are you okay?” I forced a smile on my cheek at Richard, who had our bags in one hand, while making gestures for others to come and assist with the rest. My heart soured when I took a step further only to come in contact with the railings, I pulled back my hands like I had been scalded when Daisy stepped in. Her eyes got misty with tears on them when our eyes met, we locked eyes for a while before I was tugged into her arms. She had that same scent on her, like I had always known. It tingled when I take it in. The scent of rosemary mixed with flour as I inhaled her scent calmed me down. Her hands moved to my lower back, patting on it. “ You have been through a lot, let it out!” I sniffed. I would rather not do so, but I guess that I was left with no choice. My body rocked silently," I missed y

  • Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back    Warming up to him

    Richard's POVThe sound of the door slamming hard against its hinges made my heart scoot again. Yet another night where Reina was punishing me for how badly I had treated her. I knew that I didn't have any right whatsoever to insist that she stay somewhere aside from the children's room, but I wanted her. The same way I take in air, I wanted her that much. I wanted to make things work with her. I listened faintly until I could make out incoherent sounds, letting me know that she was asleep. Yet another sleepless night for me. I guess this was what I deserved for being a prick. Fumbling through my desk, I picked up the documents that were necessary before taking a walk out of the room when our eyes met. I knew this was my chance, to plead again,“ I thought you would be asleep” She stalked down, not giving me an answer. “ Reina.?!” “ I couldn't sleep, Richard, no matter how hard I tried to, I just can't…this house…this place, it's stuffing me. I know that I said I would stay with

    Reina's POV Slamming the jar on the table, I watched as the content inside of it spilled, splattering all over the table. "more" I snapped at Jackson who gritted his teeth and didn't look like he wanted to let me have another one. "You will end up getting drunk, and that wouldn't help, so I can't let you have another glass. We both know you have a low tolerance to alcohol and it wouldn't help at this point" I rolled my eyes at him. Richard was giving me a tough time. Just thinking about the fact that my heart still wanted him after everything pissed me off. Why would it still want him after all that he had done to it? Snorting loudly, I stood up, walking toward the bartender when Jackson held my arms, stopping me from taking a step. "Let me" I didn't know how Nina was going to react, so the first person who came to my mind when I felt stuck was Jackson, and without thinking twice. I had called him over. He placed the cup of Martini on the table. " Are you sure that you want t

    Richard's POVWith hands on the doorknob, I gritted hard on my teeth, fuming in anger. I couldn't describe how I felt, but all I wanted to do presently was to make Jackson pay. How dare he? How could he think of forcing himself on Reina? My Reina?With hands clenched, I flipped my head around, walking in a large stride back to my car. “ Get me Jackson's location, I don't care whatever it is going to take but make sure that I get it in five minutes” I spoke into the phone, with my hands on the steering wheel.My face illuminated with a smile on it, when my phone beeped, showing me where exactly he was located. After inputting the location into my GPS, I drove as fast as I could and when I was led into a private enclosed building, I was stunned. It was located in a suburb, one that was densely populated. Skidding off the road, I raced into the house, pushing the door open.My chest heaving up in anger. “What are you doing here?” he was unclad, wearing nothing on except a trouser whic

  • Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back    staying strong

    Reina's POVI stood, pacing up and down endlessly as I tried to come up with different reasons why Richard wasn't home yet. There had to be something. It was days already, and he wasn't home yet. I knew that I was supposed to hate him. I wasn't supposed to feel an iota of pity for him, but I couldn't stop thinking about it, I was sure that that shadow I had seen was his. I was so sure and …I flicked my head around, gazing at the door which was pulled open, the smile that had lighted on my face a minute ago faded when I saw who it was. It wasn't Richard. “ Mother…?” I whispered out loud, wanting to be sure that I wasn't dreaming. She didn't like Richard so the last thing that I was thinking was her being here, so what exactly was she doing here? “ Reina” her arms were open wide apart, urging me to step in. I did just that. Paying attention to how tightly she had squeezed me. “ You are holding me so tight, did you miss me that much?” I said jokingly when she tilted her head to the

  • Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back    false accusations

    Reina's POV“Richard” I ran out in a daze as fast as my legs could take me down the vast hallway. “Reina please” Nina screamed behind me. “Get a grasp of yourself, what do you think that you are doing? You should take a chill pill and think of something. It wouldn't be helpful if you go in there like this. You are literally panting” I sniffed in before gazing at her.“What room is he in?”She held me firmly. “Promise me that you won't break down in tears when you see him, you have to give me your words first that you will act properly before we go on” I sniffed before nodding. “I will be on my best behavior “ but that was a lie because immediately I saw him in the cast that he was wrapped in. I had lost it. Tears cascaded down my cheek as I struggled to think. He was looking awful and he had his head in a cast. Every single part of him. Who would have done this to him? I gulped in while taking steps toward him. “Richard” I whimpered, before wrapping both of my hands on his wrist.

  • Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back    Tip

    Richard's POV“ Reina” I whispered, while trying to sit upright. The room I was in looked desolate, and it showed no sign of her. I sniffed in when memories came running in and with my mouth wide agape, I tried to figure out who exactly it was that had rammed into my car, but I couldn't. It was suspicious, seeing that I had just stepped out of the bar I had walked in, and it might have been Jackson. I didn't want to believe that he could descend so low, but he looked like a man who could do anything just to get her back. “ Be careful, although the doctor said he is fine. You wouldn't want to get him agitated, okay?” I could make out Reina's voice from out there. When the door was pulled open, and she had a hand on the door knob. I watched her reaction, “Richard” she whispered, letting go of the kids who ran toward me before bursting out in tears. “ You wanted to leave me all alone, right?” She questioned. I was shocked because I wasn't expecting the reaction that I was getting. I

  • Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back    Risky

    Nina's POVMy heart sledged against my rib cage while I watched Ryan navigate his way as he drove down. I thought of how Brian was in cuffs, how all of those girls were going to be served justice soon, even my secretary and I couldn't have been happier. The thought of her stabbing him even when he had shot her still sent shivers down my spine. I didn't understand why she had done that, I wouldn't have known until she had told me that I was the first person who had treated her in such a way. My hands moved on my gown, tapping on it repeatedly when a hand clasped around it, trying to get me to stare at him. “ I am fine, just focus and drive” “ You are agitated, are you fine?” “ I am” I answered, my voice betraying my words. He swerved off course, slamming the brakes before peering at me. “ I am not a fool, fluffy bear, what is in your mind?” He questioned again. I chewed on my lips, gazing at him before the words came out. “ I just think he should have been found earlier, I m

    Nina's POV “I am fine” I tried to shrug his hands off. He was being a worrywart. “You don't have to come with me’’ I tried to get him off my back. I mean we were in the penthouse together, and although the kids weren't here, I knew they were okay. I was fine as well, but Ryan wasn't so sure of that, seeing how he was constantly on my heels. “Really? It is the same spot, it isn't that far from the stairs” I glanced up, directing his gaze to the spiral step. He shook his head, nor listening to me. “You can't understand how I felt when I saw you being bonded into the car, I had never felt so helpless, I mean, in the courtroom everyone knew me as the best, but there, I couldn't do anything” he confessed. My heart stilled while I watched him. “I know that I shouldn't think about that, but I was already doing so. I thought about what would happen if he used you as one of his trophies. I was already thinking of how to make him pay, but inwardly, I hope that you would be fine, for me,

  • Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back    Rid the world of him

    Nina's POV When I had felt the needle prick my skin, I couldn't move an inch, no matter how hard I tried to, it was impossible for me to. I had pleaded, bawled my eyes even before I lost consciousness. When I was awake, I found out I was lying on the ground, not tied up, but I was lying down on skulls, and sharp bones which jabbed into me. I had tried to stand up, but a closer gaze at where I was had me wobbling, a scream had left my throat at what I was seeing while I had stumbled backwards. I hadn't known this, knew that he had this. He had always lived a spotless life, at least that's what my mother and I had known, we hadn't known about this, hadn't thought that he was capable of decapitating humans, of storing humans, of killing them, making trophies out of them. We hadn't known how much of a psychopath he was, that he had a habit of collecting trophies, human ones. Chills had run down my spine, countless times that I had forgotten to breathe. When I had finally pushed o

    Ryan's POVI kept muttering out words which were incoherent even to myself while Nina was in my arms. I tried to get up, tried to think, I knew that she needed to be out of here, that we both had to be out of here, but my knees were stamped to the ground. A hand grasped my shoulders, jolting me up. “You have to leave, get her to the hospital” I flickered my gaze around, a string of curses leaving my lips as I did so. I searched around, for his gait, to see him with cuffs clicked on his wrist, but he was nowhere to be found, I threw the thought that told me he had fled away, that couldn't have happened. “Brian, where is he?” I questioned Richard, whose face gave an answer I didn't want to believe. A cackle left my lips, reverberating across the room. “You can't let him go, the kids, our kids, Reina, they are there, he might hurt them” He shook his head at me, peering once more in my arms. “Get out of here, let me handle the rest”I forced myself up, nodding at him before I tra

  • Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back    Unconscious

    Ryan's POV A dip, that was what I had felt when I had pushed the door open, and she wasn't in there. I had tried to convince myself that she would be in the room, she would be in the bathroom, she might have taken a walk, but I knew that wasn't it. My third senses didn't just agree with what I thought it was, so I had pleaded with Richard to get access to the CCTV, and he had. “ She is heading towards the back door, I am going to give an order for all doors to be locked right away, get her back man”His words would have sounded right if I hadn't chased down like a mad man, and watched as she was yanked into a car, a midnight black sports car. I had raced down, sprinted down the stairs with both hands on my hips as I took in gaps of air. I chewed on my lips, until I could feel the crimson taste, the coppery taste sluicing through my senses. I heaved, before punching into the wall as I slipped into my car, chasing after them. I was going to be a fool to let him take her away from

  • Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back    Newest trophy

    Nina's POVI felt like a mess, the only thing that no one else wanted to associate with, I didn't want to think about what exactly Brian would be thinking, I didn't want to know why I hadn't even thought about the fact that he had such tendencies, was I ever in love with him? No, so why was I unable to see it? I hated it, with each fiber in me when people were in such an uncomfortable place because of me. I could sense it, the hesitation, the hurt that filled Reina's eyes. I was the cause of all that. I always made things happen, and when they did, they always hurt everyone around me. I chewed on my lips before breaking off my thoughts. “ You aren't the cause of anything” Ryan cupped my face as he whispered at me. I tried to believe that I wasn't, it was going to mean a lot, but I couldn't do so. I always did this, I had done this to mum, and it hadn't been funny. “It is fine, I want to go home” she insisted. Home wasn't going to be the little white bungalow that Ryan had built

  • Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back    Hell bent

    Ryan's POVThere was no way I would have known what exactly she was thinking, now that I was thinking about it, she had always kept her emotions cladded. So tight that I couldn't see through. Why would she ever think that? Why was she going to think that she would ever wreck my life? Even if she did, she would do so in a good way. She was the only thing that sparkled in my life, so what exactly had she been thinking? Was she really going to act as if she didn't know? That she didn't have a clue of how much she meant to me? What she actually meant to me? How I will raze everywhere down if it meant me being with her again? “ My fluffy bear” I flicked the tears off her cheek. “ Why would you ever think that? Why would you ever think that you wreck anything?”The tears ran down her cheek, while I patted her back, letting her lean on my shoulders. “ You will never be a wreck to me, you mean the whole world to me, don't you know how whole you make me feel? You made me love, you made m

    Ryan's POV I had a hand against my head, as I gazed at the screen before me. I had a deadline and I knew that I had to get this done, but I couldn't bring myself to work. My eyes turned blurry as I peered into the computer, the screen splitting into lines of black and white the longer I gazed at it. Brian and Nina were two people who just didn't fit, I had tried to place my hands on it, but I just couldn't get why exactly she preferred his presence all of a sudden. Was it because of the crash? Why exactly would she forget us all and prefer his company? All of a sudden, at that?A gush of air left my throat as I tried to get the answer, but it wasn't forthcoming, my hands ran across the keyboard before I tapped on the landline, ushering my secretary in. “ How many pro bono cases have we taken up this week?” I had to keep to my arrangements, and had to be careful when it was needed also. “ Five” “ How many more?” There had to be more, and I needed to know if I would go myself, j

  • Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back    His trophy

    Brian tried to understand what exactly it was that Nina was playing at, but he just couldn't. He would have believed her little antics that she had indeed lost her memories, if she hadn't avoided all of his attempts to touch her. It seemed like she had something in mind, maybe she was thinking of how to pay him back, and she was in for a long run because he was certainly not going to allow that. He was determined to play along, and perhaps then when he had gotten her to lower her guards, he would have his way with her, for now, he had to make her pay for going against his words. His eyes searched around the familiar white bungalow severally for its owner, and when it was dawned on him that he wouldn't be successful tonight, he tried to leave when he heard her heels on the pavement. He slipped the little camera he always had in his pocket, he was one who loved to record memories of when his opponent was at their lowest, when he tainted his hands with blood because he got the thril
