Nina’s POV

I tried to force myself up, shutting away the excruciating pain that coursed through my very bones.

Grunting gently, I flipped my eyes open, a grunt slipping out when I noticed a hand gripping mine.

My hands weaved through the hair, one that felt silky in my palm and I knew who it was, but why exactly was he here? I could recall that I had been with him, and then I had slumped.

“ Fuck!” I exhaled out, sitting upright.

Reina was lying on one of the beds in my room with Richard beside her.

My mother sat on the couch barely able to sleep and Ryan, he was seated on the floor, his hands gripping mine firmly like he was trying to beg me not to leave.

His eyes flew open while I tried to make a move, barely recognizable.

“ Nina…?” He called out gently. My eyes stared at his for a while as I gave him gentle glimpses.

“You look like you have seen a ghost, is something wrong?” I asked when I saw the people in the room.

I couldn't help but wonder why, I knew that I had slumpe

    Nina’s POV “ His nerves” I blurted out because there was nothing else that I could place my hands on right now. This was making me so pissed. All I wanted to do was wrap my hands around his neck and cut his life short. “ There is no way he expects me to do something like that. Hell no! I am not!” I snapped, waiting for what they were to say when Ryan stepped in. “ You will” that was the only thing he said in the tiniest voice he conjured.“ I don't get it, what are you even saying? I am not going over to the press to do whatever he thinks is right” “ You will,” he insisted, pissing me off even harder than before. What exactly was he saying? Didn't he say that he wanted me to be in his life? So what exactly was he doing right now? Pushing me away? Was he trying to crush whatever feelings I had conjured up for him? Right now? Because it seemed to be the only thing he was doing. “ There is something you don't know, that is I acted as the solicitor between your mother and Brian, w

    Nina’s POVWarmth slithered through my veins, while my eyes went to Ryan, whose face was blank, but his eyes were flawlessly shining. He seemed to be waiting for me to come to a decision, and maybe he was going to tag along with it when I did. I stifled. My hands clenched into a fist while I stared so hard at him that I couldn't say anything. “ Mother” her hands clasped mine, closing around it. It was subtle to believe that this was happening, barely a week after I was so sure that if she had a chance, she was going to slit his throat for hurting me and now this. I couldn't help but wonder how fast the tide had changed, and she was going alongside it. Squeezing my eyes, I drew in a sharp intake of breath, trying to settle my thoughts in when my eyes met with Reina, who was still, not moving an inch. Her words drifted into me. The one where she had told me that she wasn't going to interfere with us. Me and Ryan. “ I will go with him” I saw him from the corner of my eyes, throwin

    Ryan's POV If I hadn't fallen in love enough with her, I did at that very moment, when I held the phone, leaning it straight while I tried to take a picture with them all inside. Nina’s face held a smile that stretched to the edge of her lips, her eyes sparkled as she stared at me. I found myself inching never to watch that smile fade. “ We should all take one together” her mother uttered, stunning me. I obliged, holding the phone just enough to take a selfie and when I captured that moment, I sealed it in my heart, promising never to have anything dent the life that I had now, or I was going to. “We can drop you off at the hangar if you don't mind” I summoned up the mildest tone I could find to talk to her mother I had always been tough and rough, but she was willing to accept me, so I thought that I would do the same. “ Don't.” She dissuaded me. “ Your house is different from where I am headed, and…” her eyes slanted at me. “ You don't get the right to hurt my daughter agai

    Ryan's POV I swirled around, digging in a step while I tasted the dish I had made. “ It is perfect” Gladys assured me while I stood wondering if indeed I wasn't doing too much, but there was nothing like doing too much when it involved family. My family. An evil grin accompanied my face. “ Are you sure?” She gave me a thumbs up, smirking even. “ Is there something on my face?” She was suddenly acting stunned. “ No, I am just glad that you are back with her. I know that you wouldn't hurt her” I was sure that I wouldn't. I was a hundred percent sure because why would I fumble this again?I held the tray, counting my steps while I walked up the stairs, so gently that I didn't want anything to spill. “ What the hell!” I cursed, my heart almost flying over my head when I saw who it was. What exactly was Julian doing up this early morning?I held the tray tighter before asking. “ Is there something you want?” His eyes roamed over my clothes.“ Aren't you doing much? Hmph” he snicke

    Nina's POV A vacation? I wanted to laugh so loud at how serious he had said that. What exactly was he even on about? I knew that it was certainly going to take a lot of time to get that ready, also he didn't have my passport or anything pertaining to that. I had taken it as a joke, a silly one until I noticed he wasn't laughing, his eyes were darkened as they stared at me. “ You weren't joking?” I asked, my lips fell wide apart when I noticed that indeed he wasn't joking. “ What? A vacation? We had barely gotten here. The kids, do I need to get them prepared as well? I can't…” I was beginning to panic which wasn't nice at all. His hands went over my shoulders, cajoling me to take in breaths until I felt better. “ We wouldn't be taking the kids” I stilled. “ We wouldn't? Why?” “ This will be about us. Richard and Reina opted that they would be looking after time while we were away, so we don't have to worry” I was certainly going to worry, I knew it was fine

    Ryan's POV When we touched down on the island, I knew right away that I had made the right choice of whisking Nina away for a vacation. It seemed like she needed one so bad, and I had made the perfect choice. She giggled, feathery thoughts stroked me while I watched her. The company was forgotten, and everything was gone as she swirled around, taking in her surroundings. “You look beautiful” I couldn't stop complimenting her with every chance that I had. I was so sure that I was never going to get tired of it. Her sense. It was never going to happen. “Thank you” she beamed, teasing me so well with her movements as she sashayed her waist. “ Thank you” I took the key that had been handed to me, placing the bags inside the car before she got in. I prayed with everything in me that this was going to go well, and I wasn't going to have regrets because if that happened, I didn't know what else I was going to say. The car came to a stop in front of the vibrant red mansion that glitte

    Ryan's POV “ Huh? A man? How did she get there? Who exactly was the last person she had gone to meet?” I couldn't help but debate the thoughts that crashed my mind while I drove down, almost knocking down a pedestrian before I got a grip of myself. I had apologized profusely, making sure she accepted before I drove off, to deal with my insolent fluffy bear. I had asked for direction and this was the only club I had been told was close by. Pulling the car to the side I rushed in, almost stumbling on the way when I was let in. I heard cheers and claps from the audience, not wanting to mind myself in those, I searched for her all over, but I couldn't find her nor get a grip of where she was. A puff of disgust ran through my lips when a woman attempted to touch me with those filthy hands. “Scram” I instructed her, to which I got a sneer and she sauntered off. A quick search through the club had me running my hands through my hair while I searched all over for her. I just couldn't

    Nina’s POVA splitting headache throbbed through me immediately I flicked my eyes open, I took a glance and I knew that I was in a room. A room, why was I in a room? This was so different from the one I shared with Ryan back home or mine, so what was I doing here?I forced myself to sit upright when the memories drizzled in and all I wanted to do was place my head into a hole and hide forever. “ Do you know that you are charming?” Wait. Hell no. Don't tell me I had said that? I whispered, letting out a grunt that didn't feel right. I didn't know what to do. I had told him that he was charming. Whyyyyy? Had I done something like that? I shook my head, maybe it wasn't my memories, could be it was from someone else or a movie, yes, that had to be it. I slipped my foot into the flip-flop, hands on the bed while I tried to stand upright when it drummed in. Me dancing on a pole while Ryan stood watching my every step. His eyes focused on me, spelled out to me that I was in trouble. Wh

    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

    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

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.
