Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back lost it all.
Richard's POVI stood still, not taking another step. Reina was leaning against the wall. In a protective stance against me, wait, why was it against me? I swallowed, gazing around just to make sure that I wasn't thinking wrong, but that was what was happening. “Reina….it is me. Richard, I mean, your Richard, “ I tried to ascertain if it was just a pretense or something was wrong. “ Who are you?” She threw the same question at me again. I was stunned. What exactly was happening here? I needed an explanation, but I knew that no one would be able to give me that. I stood upright, taking feebled steps toward her before halting. “ It is me, Richard. The father of your kids and…”“Richard…?” She whispered at me, placing an emphasis on the R. I leaned closer, with expectations rising so high that I hoped she would get a clue of what was happening, but it didn't seem possible. “ I don't know you.” She shook her head to the side. “Reina…” I had to make sure that what she had just sa

Reina's POV“Are you sure that you are okay?” Nina asked again, as she sat beside me on the couch, handing me a cup of tea.Flashing a smile at her, one that, I hoped, would be convincing enough, I nodded. I held the cup of tea to it, rather too firmly, wondering for a while if anything would be wrong with it, but I shook my head. She wouldn't hurt me. Nina wouldn't. “ Why don't you have a taste of it?” I pushed it towards her, nudging at her to have a taste when she pushed it back. “ Why?” She looked uneasy, and I didn't know what to think. Was this laced? Maybe? Was that the reason for her reaction? “ It has your drugs in it, you know I am not supposed to take that, right? So why are you pushing that at me?” she questioned. I wasn't satisfied with her explanations. “A sip wouldn't hurt you, it haven't before” She shrugged, taking a seat far away from me. “ I hope this isn't laced with anything? I don't know, your reaction is unexpected, and I don't know what to make out of it”,

Reina's POV“Richard?” She turned to me, holding the knife so tight that I couldn't throw my gaze away from it. “ He is someone you shouldn't worry about,” she answered. “ Why shouldn't I bother about him?” I needed to know. I needed to know what exactly they were hiding from me and why they were doing so. “Reina, you wouldn't get it, but it is best you stay away from him, gosh, he doesn't deserve you. He will keep hurting you, and he is so comfortable doing so, so why are you thinking about that?” I didn't know what to believe. I couldn't recall a thing, and it felt there was something not right. “ How bad?” “ Reina” she placed the knife on the chopping board. “ You have Jackson now, so you shouldn't bother yourself about him, gosh, I don't understand why you are still getting flashes of him, why don't you get the part that he hurt you?” “ Was it that bad?” I mean, she would rather not say a word about it, so I assumed that it must be that bad. “ It was messy, your self-esteem

Richard's POV “ This can't be happening” my fingers grazed the decorated font all about it. It was really happening. I might have seen it as a joke but now, this is happening.Dropping on the chair just beside me. I stared around, Ryan was staring back at me. As though he was letting me know that he was here still. “ Are you sure that this is real?” I probed, staring straight at the ceiling. I was broken. I never knew that she meant this much to me. When she smiled, my whole world lit up and now, I didn't know how to feel anymore. I was numb not feeling anything. “Richard.. you have to take this in like a man, be strong” I erupted into chuckles. Tiny ones that rocked the room. “Be strong?” I questioned to which he nodded. “Why? Why do I have to be strong? Why should I be the one who loses her? Why should I let her go when I was the first one who she always wanted?” He shook his head, showing that he was silent just like I was and he couldn't say a word. “ What are you going

Reina's POV Richard. I had almost whispered out of my mouth when my eyes met with his. His eyes spoke volumes, which I knew that he wanted to utter. “ Reina,” he called again. This time a little louder than he had earlier. I love the way my name has rolled off his mouth. Just like perfection would have. I gave myself a pinch in my palm, sharp enough to jolt me out of any reverie I was having and back to reality. “ Have we met before? Aside from the crazy show you put on the day I was about to leave the hospital?” I asked. It has taken a lot for me to say that. The look in his eyes that spoke of how betrayed he felt pricked my soul. “ No, not at all” he gave way for me to walk through, but instead I stood still. Listening to his footsteps until they had faded away. When I was sure that he had gone, and he wouldn't take note, I flicked my head around. My eyes met his. Electricity jolted through me before I looked away. He was going to be the end of me. “Mother” I had a smile on my

Reina's POV “ Gosh Reina….” “ Mother” I whispered as I tried to sit upright, but she held me back. Stopping me from doing so. “ What happened to you? I was worried, I mean your secretary called and said you slumped, and you were rushed down here and. …”“ Take a chill pill, mother,” I said to her. My voice almost came out in a whisper. I tried to recall what exactly had landed me here, but no matter how hard I attempted to. I just couldn't. “ I am fine, mother,” I answered her. “ Jackson said otherwise”“ Jackson?” My brain was muddled as I tried to get in, who exactly was that. “ What are you saying? Jackson, your fiancé, he was here, and he said that'' I threw my head back. “ I have a fiancé?” She looked disappointed. “ Don't tell me you have forgotten that? Jackson, your childhood friend? Does that ring any bells at all?” “ Yes, I am engaged to him?” My eyes moved to my finger which had a ring on it, I didn't know what to feel as it felt surreal. The door was pulled open,

Richard's POVNever would I have thought that I was going to end up hidden in the bathroom away from glaring eyes, but now the glaring eyes had to be Jackson. I placed my ears against the door, trying so hard to listen to what was being said. “Why do you look so unbalanced? You shouldn't, you know”.Reina must be trying hard so that he wouldn't know that I am here. I was speechless, for someone who doesn't remember a thing about me. She was persistent, in trying to hide me away from him. “ Why are you here?” she questioned, and I couldn't help but figure out that her lips would have been culled when she asked that, and maybe she was fidgeting. “ I have to check your vital, I had recalled that I didn't do that when I was walking away, and so I had to come back” She let out throaty laughter. “ It is fine. I am okay, you don't have to do that” I could tell that she was anxious and Jackson, being who he was, was surely going to be suspicious. “ You know that you really don't have a c
Last Updated : 2024-02-27Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back Warmed in
Reina's POVIt was taking everything within me to sit up tight and plead with him not to come back. I knew already that what I had felt for him was different. So different that I wanted it to go on. When his hands had held mine, I knew I wasn't the only one who had felt that. How attracted I was to him. I listened, with my ears placed against the door, for his footsteps as it faded before walking back to the bed. It was going to be another sleepless night where I wouldn't get to see him. Somehow, the man who had called himself my husband had warmed his way through my heart. *********The chirping at the window told me that it was another day and all that I needed to do was lay still in bed as I waited for him to come in. He had kept to his words and had come in subsequent times, and I was longingly expecting it today. “Wakieee… Wakieee Ray,” running a hand over my face, I let out strings of curse. It was still morning, why was it that I had to go through such torture most mornin

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.
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 Troubles
Ryan's POV That name didn't ring a bell at all, why would somebody who wasn't affiliated to them do something like that? Or was it that we didn't know what exactly we were searching for? “ I can't really say” We both got into the Porsche as I answered.“ There is no one else that would be able to give an answer except her, but I don't know where she is”“ Who?” “ Her mother of course, I am so sure Nina doesn't know anyone by that name, and it will be so awkward bringing that up to her, we need to be certain. We don't want her suspecting us now, would we?” A part of me was glad that I didn't have to do this anymore, it would have pricked me a bit to know that. Richard was a drive away from the bar when my phone rang out. “ Ryan, where are you?” I could sense the urgency in her tone as she asked. I swallowed, gazing at Richard whose eyes were probing to know what's wrong when I answered. “ With Richard, is something wrong?” “ Yes, can you come over? I am at the morgue and I di
Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back Disapproval
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 A hit
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
Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back Mind blowing
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
Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back Disappointed
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
Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back Last words
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
