Nina's POV

I had never felt this jittery in years, months even with how tense I was, I thought I was going to mess things up.

“ You have to calm down, he is just your mother's spouse”

That brings us back to why we were here, my mother's spouse, the one she said she wanted to introduce to me.

I had wanted to be here first, just to get along foremost before passing it on to anybody what exactly he looked like, but my mother had insisted I came with Reina.

She was better than me, as it was to be expected, and she was here to keep me in place or so I had thought.

“ Something bulging your mind?” I shook my head when she asked.

We had just gotten to the spot, fine dining with a reservation so difficult to get even if you were well known, but we seemed to be here, my mum had said this was the designated venue, and so we had to be here on time.

“ It's now or never” the door opened with a slight push from me and we were in.

It didn't take so long to find the booth that we were looking

  • Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back    Happy ever after

    Nina’s POV “ You don't get it Reina” I hadn't known when exactly this had happened, but it was too much. I had given up on Christopher right now because I had no other option, but that was because my mum looked so happy with him. I knew he was young, well, too young if I am asked, but my mother being happy was everything to me and I wanted her to be. “ You both were going at it raw, what did you expect? A truckload of gifts?”Wait, what? “ I am almost in tears right now,” I explained. I just couldn't explain it, but I was really tearing up. She stood up, patting me on the back. “ It's the hormones, you are actually tearing up” “I am pregnant, just a month to our wedding and I don't know how to tell him, the wedding gown won't fit” “ The designer can always work on it, we can have her do that” “ But still, I am not ready for this. I don't know if I want this child, it is too much for me to bear right now, what exactly am I to do?” I questioned. I had to think about this. All t

  • Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back    Not a fool

    Ryan's POV “Am I doing too much?” I questioned Richard who stood by my side. I had on a sea green suit and a blue lapel which was to match with the gown she had on, but she wasn't here yet. I didn't know what to do, if I was going to cry, but I wanted to do this clear headed and without shedding a tear. It wouldn't make me masculine like I was supposed to be. She shouldn't see me tearing up. Richard stood by my side, in a peach suit to match Reina's own. “You doing too much would be you tearing up when she shows up to the aisle, please don't do that. You did before and it wasn't easy for me to stop you, don't make me do that again” he pleaded. I bore a hole in him at the words he had just spoken. He wasn't supposed to say that .He was still going to rub it over my face. “You did the same to me, remember?” he quizzed when he saw the look on my face. “So I don't really think I am doing anything wrong by telling you what I just did” I shook my head, not wanting to listen to him.

    Reina's POVI sniffed in as low grunts and the sound of skin slapping against skin pierced through my ear, I could feel my heart shredding into tiny bits I knew wouldn't be recoverable as I listened on, squeezing hard on the door knob, I tried all that I could not to let myself immerse in the sea of thoughts that threatened to take me away with it, I kept trying, trying to be strong, but It appeared that I wasn't trying enough, where exactly had I gone wrong in all of this?Beads of tears cascaded down my face and I bit on my lips until I could feel the metallic taste of blood which was mixed with salt. “ Madam, I told you not to come in but still, you refused to heed my warnings” the secretary admonished me as the moans and grunts got worse, and I was forced to take a step backwards, pulling my hands away from the knob as though I had been scalded by something hot. I loved him far too much to let another woman take him away from me. I wasn't going to let it happen, although our mar

    Reina's POV"Ahaha," I chuckled softly, amused with what I have just heard, " You didn't mean that right?" I blinked severally at him, not wanting to believe what I had just heard." Tell me you didn't fucking mean what you have just said, Richard? Tell me you do not want to break me in such a way…tell me you do not want to break my heart just like that…please…" I bellowed, shutting my eyes tightly before opening them."Tell me you aren't giving up on us" I pleaded with him, moving closer to touch him, to run my hands on him if it meant him knowing that I was here" I am tired Reina, of this charade we call marriage, of what we have…. I am tired already" he answered me, his gaze drifting off, he wasn't looking at me, perhaps was that how much he hated me. Did my presence disgust him? I shook my head, not wanting to accept what I had just heard, "We can make this work, Richard, you know that we can, don't you? You have always told me that we can do whatever we set our mind to do…re

    Reina's POVI gasped out with sweat running down my face, and my chest heaving heavily, I flipped my gaze around taking in sight of the room I was in when I saw Nina, seated on the long couch, how long had she been sitting there?A wave of pain shot through my body, numbing me for seconds, and I reclined against the wall, squeezing my eyes tight as memories from what had happened came back just like a running train would have.Did he hate me that much already? I could remember vividly well that I had stretched out a hand to him, hoping that he would hold me but he had flashed a grin at me before stepping back."My babies" I gasped out, running a hand on my stomach, were they gone?"Reina..?" Nina's voice came through and I flicked my eyes open,"My babies….." I whispered with dread filling my voice, that shallow feeling in my stomach seemed to have worsened,"Don't tell me I lost them?"

    Richard's POVI sat on the chair, the air heavy with dread, as my eyes drifted to the papers that littered about the office. The scent of the coffee that I had ordered my secretary to brew for me a while ago lingered in the air, but still, I couldn't take my eyes off the documents that had just been placed on my table, the one with the large font in front of it that read divorce papers.A while ago, Ryan had walked in, holding them in his hands, and although I had prayed that it was just a figment of my imagination playing out on me, I was faced with the sad reality that it wasn't when he had slammed it on the table again, jolting me out of my thoughts My heart ached as I reached out to take it, fiddling through the pages. I just couldn't believe Reina had signed them, my chest tightened, and a lump formed in my throat, one that stayed, no matter how hard I tried to force it down. “Richard, I'm sorry,” Ryan apologized, his voice dripping with sympathy, that made me chuckle, why wa

Why had she gone that far? What happened to our promise to be with each other forever? I wondered

    Ryan's POV A smile crested over my face while I hummed alongside to perfect by Ed Sheeran, that was how my life was like currently, it was going the right path that I wanted it to be. Stepping on the gas, I couldn't keep thinking of how everything was just the way it should be presently, but there was merely a problem and that one had to be taken care of. I slammed the brakes in front of Richard's company, swept my gaze around when I stepped out of the car, beaming at the CCTV camera that told me he had his eyes glued on it. I figured him letting out a string of curses at what I had just done, before turning his attention back to his pile of documents. When he wasn't with Reina and the kids, playing the obsessed husband, he had his head into his documents trying to work even harder. Stepping into the elevator, I waited for it to drop me in front of his office and when I did, I pushed the door open. “ You should take a breath, you are always working” I pointed at him when I was

    Nina's POV I beamed at the hand that had wrapped itself around me, before kissing me noisily. Pushing him off gently, I let out a plea. “ Let me sleep a bit, hmm” I pleaded while trying to shut my eyes a bit when the scent of freshly baked potatoes and cabbage lamb roast stew had me opening them in a sec. “ You surely do know how to get me” I gave him a slight jab at the arm before staring around, my mouth watered at the sight before me. “A little bit burnt, but I guess it's the intentions that matters” Ryan said while being nervous. I could tell because he was unusually jittery, which wasn't a fine attribute of his person, unless he had done something wrong, or he intended to do something that has him this way, I hope it was the latter because I could do without any huge thing at the moment. “ Spill” I urged, taking a scoop of the delicious goodness in front of me. A moan escaped my lips sending a little tingle in-between my legs when he stared at me like I was the most delic

    Nina's POV “ Mother” I ran across the pavement after slamming the door shut, accepting the hand she had given me. “ Nina” she enclosed me into her arms, savoring the moment. “ Are you okay? I heard about the verdict?” I bobbed at her, giving her an answer. “ It was nothing, I feel better now, and I am glad that I had to watch” She searched my eyes probing before she pulled away, grasping my hands in hers as she sauntered off with me in suite. “ Is something wrong?” She shook her head. We were at our house, the one where everything had gone down, where I had been poisoned, where I had come to seek refuge after Ryan, and where my father had decided to get. We had memories from this house, a lot of it and I would have kept them all if the very last wasn't as painful as it had been. She smiled briefly before shaking her head. “ Would you want anything else? I am bringing down the house”“ Mother” I exhaled. That must have caused a lot of decisions and I didn't really know if

    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
