Reina’s POV

The dry chuckle that left my throat told me that wasn't me. It couldn't be me. I wasn't running insane, neither was I thinking too much. It wouldn't have been Kelvin. Kelvin had barely been taken hours ago and…take a breath. I conjured within myself. My heart slammed so hard against my chest that I didn't know if it was right.

“ That wouldn't be him” I mouthed out at Richard who had a painful expression on his face. His mouth was slightly open with his eyes peering down at me.

“ You have promised me that you will come with him,” I continued. I had been lying down, but I had heard him promise me before stepping out. I took feeble steps until my arms were on his. “ Right?” I continued.

He clawed at his trousers, a smile lingered on his lips as he paused before snapping his head at me. “ Yes, that cannot be kelvin”

That was all that I needed to hear and know. His words would go a long way, and they did. “ Yes, it cannot be him,” I concurred. Summoning the same word he had

    Richard's POVHer words drenched me just like ice water would have as I stood up, before forcing her up with me. My hands wrapped themselves around her tender wrist as I pulled her with me outside the crescent, amidst her yelling and her screaming. “Richard, let go of me” her screams echoed as I stopped in track just behind my car before shoving her in as gently as I could muster up. The car clicked before I spun on my feet, getting in after her. “Richard… Richard…bring my daughter back right now!” Mr. Kourtney's voice resonated as I drove away. “I can't let you go, Reina,” I whispered to her. “I can't let you go. You mean everything to me and me letting you go will break me” I explained as I drove into our estate. I barked orders at the gatekeepers. “Don't let anyone in” I knew that it was a matter of time before Reina would tell me to go away because I caused her so much pain, but I never expected it to be this soon. “I can't let you go. So please…please…let's talk this out.”

    Richard's POVWith my back turned, I listened for the resounding sound of the car as it drove away, and I let out a sigh as it escaped from my lips. “ You aren't going to chase after her and ask her to stay?” Ryan asked. I sauntered down, trying so hard not to turn around. I would rather not see the tail of the car as it drove away. If I did, I was sure that I would race after it in a bid to stop Reina from going away. “ I should?” My hands trailed the edge of the oak wood. “ Why should I? She would rather not stay with me” I could feel the taste that lingered on my lips as I tried to hold myself back. “ Daisy said I should. I can't go ahead to stop her. She is a grieving woman” “ And you are too. Why are you looking beyond that? You are also grieving and you need attention as much as she does, so why this?”I ran my tongue over my lips. My heart wrenched from pain. “ We were taught to hold our pain since we were little, weren't we? Let me soak in mine while I come out stronger. O

    Richard's POV“ He is dead” Darren squatted down, his hands roaming the stranger's body who we knew absolutely nothing about, but we had at least gotten a name of the culprit. Ryan stood in shock, not moving an inch, nor was he saying a word. “ He mentioned Aurora right before he ended up dead, didn't he?” He sounded doubtful. At least, I wasn't the only one who had heard that. My ears weren't malfunctioning, and I had heard it correctly. “Yes, I did.”That left us with one question which was, which Aurora exactly was he talking about because the one who had walked in with my aunt had looked like she didn't have any malicious intentions so what exactly was going on? “ Do you think it is the same Aurora we know? I don't really know but still…” I was at a loss at what to do, and now….“ Where is she foremost? We need to track her down and get her to say what she knows and if she kidnapped kelvin. Hmmm” Ryan scoffed. “ We might have to feed her carcass to the bird”. It was a threat t

    Richard's POVI bit so hard into my lips that the taste of blood filled it, with a hand weaving through my hair, I was frustrated. Another dead end but I knew that I couldn't give up, not when Kelvin was out there. Fuck. I cursed, kicking hard against the stone stomped hard in front of me with arms akimbo. I needed to think. Think Richard, you have to do that. I chide myself, whispering still to myself. With a long last glance at the house that reminded me of all that I wanted to forget, I swept a long glance through it before walking in strides to the car.“ How are you feeling?”“ Numb” I answered innocently, my mind was a mess. A wrecking mess that threatened to go off at any time and I needed to get out of here. Ryan's hands strayed to my shoulders, squeezing it hard. “ He is fine. Kevin is okay” he assured me. I was still and silent because I couldn't say a thing. Nothing makes any sense to me at the moment. “We have to leave. Time is precious, and we have to put it to work”

With hands interlocked with Richard's, I whispered to him. “Kelvin is alive” “ He is,” he whispered back at me. A smile ignited his face.“What else is in there? I mean, do you know what it could be? I am thinking endlessly about it and I can't just keep calm” I rattled to him. Taking feeble steps out of the morgue, I gazed straight at the sun which kept beating over me. “ Are you sure you would want to do this? We don't know what is in there and I don't want anything affecting your mood” I shrugged him off, what exactly was he talking about? “ Our son is alive and that is all that matters. I want to take a look at it,” I convinced myself. My hands tightened around the bag as the word dawned into me. Kelvin was fine and Ariana was gone. I didn't understand why I felt numb. I was supposed to be happy that she wasn't here anymore and be happy

That he was doing fine, just like they had said also. “ Richard…”“ Reina…!” I snapped with hands on the steering wheels when I took a deep breath. I was messed up, and I wasn't supposed to act this way. “ I am sorry. Gosh, I am and…”“ It is fine” she squeezed my shoulder blade hard before directing my gaze back to the light which had turned green. “ Let's go home, make sure that the kids are fine and then we will go home”“ Home?” Home was anywhere she was. Wherever was home to her was where I wanted to be. She was my home. Fuck this messed up version of me right now, but I would do everything to have her with me. Back at our home. together. “ Richard… I am going back home with you. Our home. Where I am supposed to be” I blinked back the tears in my eyes, the one that I didn't even know was there.

    Richard's POVNo one had told me how emotional it was going to be sending off my family, but this was traumatizing. I was going to keep it locked in for a long while, especially since I had shed a tear or two and Reina had kept on pointing that at me as we made our way to the house. Our home. “They will be fine” She sneered at me. “ I think that I should be the one telling you that because I could swear you need it more than me. I bet that if I wasn't there. You would have been wailing non-stop” she mocked. I toughened up because I shouldn't have shown any sign of weakness at the airport, but this was Reina, and she had seen me in worse state and worse times, so I couldn't see anything wrong with that. “ At Least it shows how much I love them and there is nothing wrong with that” I let out a sigh when our home came in view, and she held my hands tight. “I bet Daisy cannot wait to see me. I am going to talk to her about how you have been hard on me on our way here, and she is sur

    Reina's POV The dry chokes that turned into full-blown tears drained me as I let him weep on my shoulders. All of his high resolve, his gentle sneering. His cool act that he had been putting up for a while now crumbling when he was in my arms, weeping. “ Everything will be fine” my hands drifted to the plush doll he was holding. His grip on it was so tight that there was no way anyone could take it out. When he was done, he pulled away, his eyes boring into mine. “ Thank you. For this. For letting me do this. Thank you” “It is what I am supposed to do. Make sure that you are fine. That is something I should always do”.I swallowed because it seemed like he didn't believe me, or rather he was still getting over what had just happened “ You aren't entitled to it. I am supposed to be the strong man and not to weep on your shoulders but now… I have messed it up”Placing my index finger on his lips, I nodded at him not to say a word. “Can you be still?

    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?
