Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back Unsettled
Nina’s POVHe left shortly afterward, after his mistress or rather the heiress whose face was imprinted in my mind until this very day, left as well. Julia was fine, her blood had helped just like we had expected, and I couldn't just help it. I knew that she was supposed to be the least of my concern, at least at this very moment she was supposed to be, but I couldn't help but think back to the fact that they were together right now, cuddled up somewhere, doing unimaginable stuff. “ Are you okay?” Brian held my shoulders, bringing me back to the moment. My mom stood at the far end, disapproval lacing her face. She was pissed at me. How exactly could I have let him penetrate my mind, and at the very moment when Brian was here? Her eyes spoke it all. “ You should go home to rest, mum,” I said to her. “ Julia is fine and Julian looks tired. You should let him get some rest” He shook his head, letting me know that he wanted to stay, but I wasn't having it. “ Julia is fine. You shou
Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back Just Today
Nina's POV “You aren't supposed to be here” I said to him, my mouth agape while I waited for him to give me an answer. I still had Brian's jacket over my shoulders, and it was going to be stupid if I gave in to whatever it was that Ryan was trying to do. “ I ought to be here” I shook my head. “ No, you aren't supposed to be here. You are supposed to be far away from here” I said to him. He crouched. “ Do you want me gone, Nina?” He asked. Suddenly, my mouth was tight, I knew that I wanted him gone in fact, I didn't want anything to do with him anymore. “ Yes” I answered, even though my undertone gave it as a lie. I hope it would be convincing enough and that it would make him go. He chuckled. “ I had to be here. My body double went in my stead to be with Dezreel”Dezreel, that was her name, and he pronounced it with so much love that it made my heart twist. “ Have you eaten?” “ Why do you care?”He stood to his height, his eyes not moving. “ You are all bones, is it work? Or
Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back Enraged
Ryan's POV Watching over her had been my favorite thing to do at one point, until I messed things up. The love we had and shared, the family we were supposed to have, I threw that away. While I watched her chest as it rose gently, I leaned closer to her face, stroking the sides that fell off it before pushing it gently behind her ear. She sneered, brows crested like she had dozens of thoughts running through her mind. My hands held midair when I noticed her wrist, had a tattoo, a closer glance and my heart twisted. Our kids' birthdate was on her wrist. I tried to swallow, but the lump just wouldn't bulge. Has she gone through so much? Without me? Has it been tough for them to live? Without me in her life? Did she crave me? Because even when she was tired of being strong, she had to continue? I leaned my back gently against the bed, guilt punched my heart repeatedly while I wondered if what I had done was worth it. If the quest for powers, insane one, was worth what I had lost. S
Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back persistent
Nina's POVHe left shortly after, and even though I couldn't bring myself to ask what exactly happened, and all that had transpired between them, I swallowed while Brian stared down at me, waiting for an earful, but his eyes were on Julia instead. “ How is she?” My eyes flickered at her, she was still sleeping, the doctor had said it was going to take quite some time, but if I was going to be truthful, I hoped it would be soon because I was getting tired of watching her not responding to me already. “ She is fine” He nodded. “ Did you hear what we were talking about?” I gave him a raised brow. I haven't been eavesdropping, so I didn't actually know if something had happened.All that I had come out to witness was Ryan almost throwing a punch at him, and I had lost it. Brian would never hurt a fly, he was far too gentle for that. His speech, mannerisms, and even his decorum was perfect, like everything that I could wish for, but I didn't love him, and I wasn't sure that I would e
Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back Dying
Ryan's POV While I stood in the elevator, I tried to fathom how long it has been since I last stepped my foot into it, has it been two? Three? Or four? That was how long Richard had taken what I had done to Nina to heart, he had changed drastically, and I didn't know if I was supposed to be glad or feel so awkward. “ You are here” his face came into view and I could tell how relaxed he was. I could even swear that he had aged a few years back, and I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me who it was. Reina's magic was the cause of it. His face radiated love, peace, and he looked happy, far more than I was ever or could ever be. “ Your time counts now” he said immediately as I placed a foot in, not lifting his head to even take a glance at me. “ Is it that bad?” I threw my hands apart. “That you refuse to take a look at me now?”He continued scribbling on the paper before him. “ You lost that right when you treated Nina like trash.”I nodded. “ I deserve it anyway” I wasn't going
Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back Excuses
Nina’s POVMy hands fastened while I watched the doctor as he tended to her. His brows crested, but I knew that it was going to be fine.Julia had woken up, my hands clasped around hers while she stared at me. “Mother…”“ Yes, princess” my hands stroked the side of her face gently while I waited for her to say what it was that she intended to say. She threw a glance beyond my shoulders as though she were searching for someone that she couldn't see. “ Is something wrong, princess?” “ I can't find him” my heart hitched at what she meant when the doctor stood. “ She is fine, you can take her home” I held her hands, taking him as he walked away. “What are you talking about? By him, do you mean Brian?” She grunted, trying with so much effort to sit up properly and when it was beginning to look difficult, I held her shoulders. Julian was chattering endlessly by her side, happy at the fact that she was fine. “ He sang me lullabies last night, and he said he was my father, his voice wa
Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back Failed efforts
Ryan's POV Walking out of Richard's office was relaxing in a way, it felt a bit like old times but without the usual dragging and sort. I filed out walking close to my car when I saw a figure standing close to it. Dezreel in all of her glory had a green gown on, short red heels and a clutch to match. Her face beaming even more excitedly when she saw me approach. “ You know… I didn't believe you were the one, I mean, your car pretty much gave it away, but I didn't want to believe it because you had a falling out with the CEO of Gray, Richard, was that his name?” I took a quick glance around and only after making sure that there wasn't any other person around, or a press around did I ask. “ What do you want?”She snorted, rolled her eyes, trying to touch me when I dragged my feet to the side, evading her touch.“ You can tell me what it is without touching me” “ Come on” she waved me off. “ Why are you acting so uptight? I mean, come off it, you should know that I would do anythin
Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back Tendered papers
Nina’s POV He left, and when he did, the hollow in my stomach deepened. He hadn't even fought for us, fought for our love. Whatever it was that we had. He hadn't even shown any sign that he appreciated it, and now I was left all alone to my mother. I couldn't find the right words to say, just couldn't conjure them. She looked wretched, like the whole world was crashing in on her, and she was letting it close up on her. She stumbled forward, counting her steps as she held my hands. “ Nina, please…” she shook her head. Her tears ran out. “Tell me it is a lie. Tell me what I heard isn't true, tell me Ryan was lying and that you aren't dying”. I chewed my lips, pain digging into my very bones that, I hoped, would change the fact that any of this happened, but when I pulled closer into her arms. Her pained expression tore through me while I wept on her shoulders and she held me like her very life depended on it. “I am sorry, mother” I apologized countless times until I couldn't fee

Nina's POV My hands squeezed around Reina as as we waited for the judge's verdict, my heart slammed so hard as she made a point on how he had committed murder, and had burnt an orphanage killing kids as well. Everyone had watched the video and it had been brutal. So brutal that I had shut my eyes through it all. “ Brian is sentenced to death by shooting for mass murder, and it should be carried out immediately” she snapped the pen she held into two. He stood up, eyes bloodshot as he glared at the judge. My heart spiked as I recalled what he had done the last time, thinking of how he might make a repeat of the same thing, it was going to be heart-wrenching. “ You won't be able to kill me. You won't be able to, what makes you any different from me? You do the same thing as I do, and you are still alive, you can't!” My eyes brimmed with tears in them, as Ryan punched a hand up in the air, his eyes were on me as he mouthed out. “ We did it” I knew he was also trying to tell me abou
Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back Behind bars
Ryan's POV My eyes slithered into red when I saw him pinning her against the wall. “ Fuck” I cursed, pushing against the chair in my way before shoving the door open. It came open in a crank and shoving him away from her, I threw a punch into his face. He collided against the wall, before aiming one at me. He threw one on my face, which I returned before we were pulled away. “ I will make sure you live the rest of your life behind bars” I yelled at him, venomously. Even if it was going to take my last breath, I was going to make that happen. Nina stood at the far edge, a hand around her neck as she took in gasps of air, pulling off the jacket I had on, I threw it over her before guiding her out. I made sure we were safe in the car before zooming off. I didn't know what I was going to know if he had hurt her more than this, maybe send his body rolling, I would have made him regret every single thing about his life. I might have ended up punching him to death, the rage in me st
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
Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back Possessive much
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
Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back Guilt
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
