Reina's POV

“You seem lost in thought?” I couldn't help but ask out loud.

It wasn't clear to me why I sensed this discomfort, but it seemed to me like he wasn't happy with how things had turned out. Or was I just thinking too much?

A smile illuminated his face. A fake one, before he drew me closer, with a hand around my waist. His eyes danced softly when they came in contact with the soft lighting in the room, and all I wanted to do was run my hands through his hair, which I did. His grip on my buttocks tightened, eliciting a moan from my lips.

“ Why do you think something is wrong?”

“ Just because… “ My shoulders slumped further. “ You look lost. I don't really know, is something wrong?” I pushed on.

I didn't like how distant he was looking. That didn't settle down well with me.

“ Is everything settled now?”

“ Yes, they are all tucked in. Your aunty, Aurora, and yes…everything is going well” I bit on my tongue. There was something I was forgetting, but I couldn't just get a

    Reina's POV“You should come with me” I offered Aurora who was still and kept looking out into space. “ Really? Can I? I have thought about going somewhere and … ‘’ Something sparked in me. She had not told me that until now. It was barely a day, and I was contemplating on if I had made a good choice, insisting that she should stay back when Richard was vehemently against it. He had shown his resistance countless times already. “ We had an agreement and that was I will look after you, how exactly am I going to let you walk down the street of NY when you don't even know anywhere? You have to stay by my side. “ I insisted when she stepped forward, clasping both of my hands with hers. “ Please…” she winked at me. “I will be back in no time” I wondered if she knew how suspicious she was looking right now. If she knew that, she had shown me that all what she had told her aunty or rather Richard's aunty was just a lie. “ Who exactly are you going to meet?” I threw the bait at her ho

    Reina's POV My hands rubbed gently on my chest, hoping that it would avert the hurt I felt, or was it the shock? “ Ryan? Did you mean what you just said?” Maybe, just maybe, my ear was playing tricks on me and I haven't heard properly. “ Yes” he answered, this time bobbing his head to support the answer he had given. “I am in love with Nina, and we have been dating for a while now”I stumbled, with my grip hard on the oak wood table that adorned the room. It wasn't clear to me why I was spellbound, but I hadn't imagined them together. Nina and Ryan. How exactly had it happened? Richard was surely going to be as shocked as I was when I told him this later on. “ When did this happen?” I threw the question at him when he gazed around. A smile tugged at the edge of his lips, before breaking off into a grin. “ Since forever. When I saw her. When I saw Nina, I knew she was the one, and I knew that I didn't want to let her go. Ever. So please forgive her” I stood still, better than

    Richard's POVPacing up and down excitedly, I kept counting down to the hours until Reina came back home. If I was right, it should be about two hours from now. My eyes ran dejectedly on the widespread on the table while a frantic look cascaded my face. Have I done this too early? Should I have waited? I bit gently on my nails while waiting for her. It was still going to be a while. Ditching the apron to a corner of the kitchen, I decided to walk back up while worries clouded my mind. The messages were nerve-racking and I didn't know when it was going to stop. It should already. I mean I had left, and so I wasn't supposed to get any, so what exactly was happening now? I had come up with different ways to tell Reina, but whenever I wanted to say anything, the word got stuck in my throat, not coming out at all. I had barely stepped into my study when the door creaked open and Aurora walked in. What exactly was she doing here? Wasn't she supposed to be with Reina?I had opened my mo

    Reina's POVWith brows puckered, I waited for an answer to the question that I had just thrown at him, avoiding the elephant that loomed around the room. I waited with different thoughts swarming through my head, with what if ending most of them? “I didn't do anything with her. I swear down” Richard uttered, I knew that he didn't do anything. I had come right about the time that he had shoved her aside. I had heard sounds of things crashing, and the room was a proof of that. I knew Richard loved it rough, but that was just with me and besides, being that rough didn't apply to what I am seeing here where things were littered all around with tiny pieces that could pierce one if the person weren't careful. “ I know” I bobbed my head at him, before listening to him take a deep breath. A fresh gush of air weaved its way in as he took steps toward me. “ I asked a question. Don't take another step closer than you already have” I halted him in his steps. “ You didn't do anything with Auro

    Reina's POVI listened to all of his words, every single thing that had happened. I listened to it all with a hand on my lips, I bit so hard just so that I wouldn't scream out but through it all, I made sure that he didn't feel alone because I was here by him. I was here to do this with him. “ What do you intend to do now?” I threw in the question that had lurked in my mouth for some time now. I needed to know. Needed to know all of his thoughts. “ I don't know” his hands fell limp by his side as he pivoted his eyes around. His hair was tousled, and he had suddenly developed dark eyes underneath his eyes. So soon when it wasn't even that long yet. “ You don't?” I threw a salted gaze at him. Waiting for an answer from him. He shook his head, giving me an answer. “I don't have anything in mind. I thought… I thought that leaving would help. I thought that they wouldn't come back but still….” His voice was in a whisper before he turned around all of a sudden. His cold hands holding m

    Richard's POVInstinct said I should stay down and not panic, but that wasn't possible. “Reina, please calm down” my hands snaked around her waist. She looked agitated already, and I knew that she had enough reason to act this way. “ Don't tell me to calm down. Don't Richard. Those are my kids. They mean every single thing to me so don't tell me to calm down” she screamed at me.“Kids? What are you talking about?” My heart beat accelerated at the mention of kids. They were ours, not hers. We had them together, so why exactly was she using my instead?She fumed before turning on her heels and walking back into the room she had just stepped out from. Hurt written all over her face. I could barely think of what was going on until I bent down, my hands squeezing around the phone. My eyes bulged open as I flickered my eyes at the door. They were our kids, but the message we had gotten was different. Mine was ours together, and I was already thinking about weeding out whoever was the spy

    Reina's POVBeing here was everything, with my kids and family. I felt relieved at how things had turned out, and I could finally take in that breath that had been locked in my head for quite some time now. “ Richard…” my head spun around as I took a long gaze at him. He looked lost, like something was on his mind but when our eyes locked on each other, he let out a forced smile on his face, holding the hands that I had offered him. “ What's wrong?” I inquired. He let out a gasp before shaking his head to the side. I wondered if that was done to make me not worry or rather worry less because it did nothing to help. “You should tell me if anything is bothering you,” I offered.He gasped in, before sitting beside me. His eyes went to the little picture by the bedside. “ You have always been pretty” his hands went to my lower back, his smile soft and gentle like he could get lost in my eyes forever.“ Is something wrong? You looked lost. You kept dazing out even after I had called yo

I wanted to kneel on the pavement that I had run on, my heart beating frantically and screaming for the reason this was happening. Kelvin was gone. I couldn't find the trail nor anything, but I knew that it would be hard to. I ran regardless because I was unable to stay in one particular spot. I was unable to search just one particular place, and no matter how hard I tried to. I found myself winded. I gasped in so hard, trying to take in air as I let out a scream. One borne out of how frustrated I was. I had rush out in a dash even when I hadn't heard the sound of a car but had ended up in the street. It was as dark as hell, save for the streetlight which lit some areas of the estate which belonged to the Kourtney's. Feeling lost and weak, I burst out into laughter. One borne out of pain as I sauntered back home. The home where everything would have fallen apart now. We

    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

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?

    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

    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
