Ryan's POV

The Rivolty. The name sounded just like ash when I pronounced it in my lips. It didn't dawn on well with me.

I wasn't concerned about whatever it was that they would do, but they played dirty and by dirty, I meant in every single way. They didn't care whatever it was that they were going to do as long as they won the case.

I have had a case with them, but it just wasn't okay, although I had won, but it was just by a whim, and they had sworn to make sure it would be my end if anything else happens that would bring us together.

Everyone worked with dirt but when your opponent works with blood and dirt, you were bound to be careful and that was the way I was with them. They left a bad name wherever they went.

“ Are you sure?” I didn't know my hands were shivering until I felt a hand gripped mine so tight that it stumbled on me that I was.

Nina was by my side, and she must have learned that or rather felt my distress because her hands wrapped mine so tight that I could fe

    Nina's POV That ache in me worsened shortly after Ryan had left, and I couldn't bring myself to do anything, no matter how hard I tried to, I could feel it, like it was tearing me down. My gaze swept across the room, while I stared at Gladys, who was trying to talk to the kids. They were listening just fine, attentively if I was asked to put a tag over it and I didn't know what was wrong. I was supposed to be okay, celebrating also, but I couldn't bring myself to, not with Rivolty out there, and we didn't know what else he was capable of doing. The sound of my phone ringing blazed through the air, tearing everything in me apart while I stumbled across to place it over my ear. I dragged in a breath, my brows knitted when I saw who the caller was. “Yes, Reina, good morning” my hands weaved through my hair, while I tried to mask my earlier thoughts. Her voice came through, cranky at first, but I could hear everything later on. “ Hey,” she said. “ Are you free now? I am downstair

    Ryan's POV “You can opt out. It isn't compulsory that you do it, if you aren't fine with it” I explained to Nina who was by my side. If I was asked to explain the thoughts that had besieged my head while I laid there, it would have been that of her and our kids, I couldn't just take it. When I sat, back against the wall, a burnt that would always serve as a memory of what had been done. I thought of Nina, her tears and how uncomfortable they made me. How I didn't want her crying at all, I didn't want that beautiful face of hers tainted with tears, no one deserved that, not even me. When she pulled away, saying to Richard, I couldn't help but watch. “ I am ready to do so now. I will address them all, as his wife.”“ I don't want you in there, Nina,” I insisted. “ You will be their target, they will want to hunt you down, I don't want you getting hurt” I reached out for her, a hand stretched out at her, one I waited for her to accept, but she didn't. “ I will do it,” she insisted

    Nina's POVHurt swirled in me so fast that I knew this wasn't it. I tried to stand, but I couldn't understand why my legs refused to take my weight. I wasn't that huge. I stumbled backward, hands grasping me before I could do so. My eyes burn holes into the bed, where Ryan sat while I wondered what exactly it was that I had done to him that he had hurt me again. I didn't know what else to do, or think. I dragged in a breath, while waiting for his answer. “ I did nothing with her,” he insisted, even under Richard's gaze that threatened to tear him apart. “ I did nothing with Dezreel. Nina can attest to it. I was with her on that night, I sent my body double instead to be with her and not me” I bobbed, when it dawned on me what he was talking about. My eyes went to the faces that waited for an explanation from me, or rather for me to confirm what had just been said. “ He was with me that night,” I confirmed. I could still recall it. “ He had sent his body double in his stead and

    A hand, fair and slim, swept through the table while she panted so hard at what she had just found. Dezreel knew she had been through a lot, that she had ambitions, but she was never one to be played, she was never one that left when the field wasn't leveled yet. Her eyes punched the table so hard before she broke down, her knees buckled as she dropped to the ground in tears. Her heart felt like it was being wrenched from her body, while she contemplated on what she had just heard. “ I am sorry, but this DNA bears no paternity to the child in your womb” she had never wanted to wreck anyone like she had wanted to do to Ryan at that moment. She had never taken it into consideration that it would have been a body double, never knew that he had one. She had seen it as an advantage, no one knew what was his status with Nina, aside from her having his kids, he didn't care about her so she had taken it as an opportunity to get what she wanted, a bit of him. His company was where it wa

    Ryan's POV My hand sluiced around Julia as I rained dainty kisses on her face that had her giggling. “ Why do you think I am going to leave you, princess?” She shrugged, mumbling out words before she flipped her head to Julian, who had stomped away. “ We both did. Julian kept assuring me that you were fine, but he looked like he could break down at any moment as well” My gaze trailed that of Julian as he stalked off. I couldn't attest to the fact if it was because he was cold, or like to be out of everyone's way, but I needed him to know that it was fine showing emotions. I had a long way to go, he did same, and I was going to put it to work. Gladys, who had been stealing glances at me, nodded. “ I knew you were fine” I could take her as a motherly figure already. She was always there by my side, and now she was by the kids as well. I sauntered over at her, bending down as I threw my hands over her shoulders. Her tears ran out before they stopped. “ I am glad you are back” I

    Ryan's POV “ You told him about the vault?” It was coming together now. It has to be her and here I was thinking she was the one who had sent men in there. My eyes turned bloodied, with hands wrapped around her neck, I attempted to strangle her. Kill her and no one would know. I could snuff her life out right now and no one would know, but I pulled my hands away. With eyes seething with rage, I pulled away before she could drop dead. Her eyes turned misty with tears as I asked. “ Why?” I demanded. “ Why! Did! You! Do! It?” I demanded an answer. She had made me lose one of the men I had grown up with, that we had shared bonds, that had loved me as much as he loved himself. “ You never wanted to see me. You are here, aren't you? If I hadn't done that, you wouldn't have come searching for me. You would have sat back home, relaxed with her…with that thing you claim to love and…”My hands punched the wall beside her, denting it in the process.“ She isn't a thing,” I warned. “ Nina

    Nina's POV I waited at the door for him to walk in, for him to walk past the door. My hands clawed into my palm while I did so, as time drifted away, and I was left to my thoughts. I knew that I was supposed to go alongside him, but he had clearly rebuffed me doing so. It was at times like this I wondered if indeed I had any use to him. I had caused all of this, every single thing happening was because of me. If I hadn't insisted that he should fight for the company, then, maybe everything would have been fine. I dropped to the couch behind me, my hands patting my face. I needed to know how he was. I needed to know what he was thinking and what he wanted to do, I needed him to tell me, to talk to me. When the door beeped, revealing his slanted form, I held out my hands to him. He hugged me, squeezing me so tight that I had to push him a bit just so that I could breathe properly. His alcohol scented breath wafted into my nostrils, before I held him to myself. “You are drunk,” I

    Nina's POV “ What do you mean? Why would he do that? How did he know where exactly you were at? Who told him?” I threw those questions at her, wondering what exactly was going on. It wasn't supposed to be this way, we were supposed to have the upper hand here. We were supposed to be the one dictating what we wanted, how and where exactly, but it seemed that was it right now. “You should be fine here,” Ryan added. His hands clasped around mine. “ Do you have proof? A video or anything? There has to be something that would help” he said to her. She placed her hands into her bag, before drifting a car to him. “ Here, the hotel management handed it over to me. It is where I usually stay at, and they also promised to testify when the needs arise” I didn't know if anything was more fucked up than this situation right now. Reina had parents who loved each other, they loved each other so much that they couldn't let go of each other, they even teased themselves with how they were going

    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

    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

    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,

    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

    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

    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

    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?
