Ryan's POV Nina has said she wanted to see Reina and I had insisted on coming, at least with what I had found out, it should come a long way. I needed to place my hands on where exactly I had seen the mistress. I was so sure, so certain that I had seen her somewhere, perhaps my memory was beginning to dwindle because I had a very retentive one until late when Nina came crashing back in, or rather I crashed into her life. “You are here” Richard gave a swerve of his hands at me, his attention going back to Reina instantly who kept chattering about something to him. He would stop to add to what she was about to say, then touch her hands or any part he dimmed fit before he blossomed into a smile. I shifted in the seat I was on, my stomach churning at their constant display of love. I thought there was something else that could be done. Why must they do this here also? My mind was a raging storm while I waited for Nina, I couldn't help but watch their PDA. They looked so soaked in ea
Nina’s POV A snap was the only thing that stopped me from shedding a tear, and I noticed that it was from Ryan. His eyes were fixed on me. They darkened even more as they peered at me, so intense and yet so wild that I didn't know what to do or say. I swallowed when he didn't say anything. “ I am sorry” he finally broke eye contact, apologizing. “ What for?” I asked, wanting him to be specific with what he was apologizing for. He has done nothing wrong to me now. If it was then, then he did a lot to me but now, I wanted to ask Brian how long it had been going on, if they laughed at me while tossing in bed together. “ You know, it makes sense,” I said. I was only being blind. If I had been careful enough, I would have noticed that something was up, noticed that she was the one who was providing him information, but my head was clouded, and I wondered if it was because of the drugs in my system. “ That? Are you fine?” Reina asked. Her eyes gentle, her hands squeezed mine in a r
Nina's POV I didn't know when I burst out in cackles, the fit running at long length. I didn't even know he was in, were they perhaps trying to get some juice in before I got back? I knew that I had decided to come in pretty early, but that was because we had changed the time and I had decided to return early, I didn't know I was going to meet this. “ What exactly do you think you were about to do?” Brian's eyes flared with anger at me. My hand slipped into the bag, making sure the tape was intact as it recorded everything. We didn't know what the turn of the event was going to be like, so we knew that we had to get every bit of recording down. “Are you blind? What were you doing? Screwing my secretary in my office? Sorry, I forgot she is your mistress now”He sneered. “Your office? Do you still think that it will be yours? You will agree to my demands soon, if you don't, your mother will, mummy dearest wouldn't want her only child ending up dead, you know”. He said it with so
Ryan's POV It wasn't difficult to know who exactly the man who had stepped in was. Those Hazel eyes which were the same as Nina’s and the face had given it away, but I had no words for a man who didn't care, who had left his responsibility. So why was he back?“ Eduardo” her mom mumbled out as she swirled her gaze around, her eyes stopping in track when it met mine. I gave her a wink before snapping my attention back at the man who had just stepped in. “ What are you doing here?” He didn't say a word as his eyes traveled behind her to Nina who sat on the couch. “ Is that her?” Nina stiffened on the couch, her body sinking. “ Is that our daughter?” Samantha shielded Nina from him. “ She wasn't yours to begin with” He swerved, his hands in the air, not saying a word before his eyes went to me. Richard had stood upright, strolling across the room to where I stood, waiting for what was going to happen. “ What are you doing here?” She questioned between gritted teeth. Her eyes flic
Nina's POV “ I am never going to let them take the company away, what exactly are you even saying!” my voice soared. “ There is no way that is going to happen, she has done everything possible, I can't let her lose them because of me. I can't let her lose what she cherishes” My head went to the bed as I watched her chest heave slowly. Reina's hands patted my back as she cajoled me to let down the tears that were in my eyes, but I just couldn't. They seemed to have been stuck permanently. Sneaking into her chest, I held her to myself, squeezing her so hard. “ I can't… I can't let this happen. It would break her” “ You know your mother wouldn't want anything happening to you, she would do everything possible just to make sure that nothing happens to you, even if it means giving up the company” I listened to her words. My eyes brimmed with tears in them that refused to slip down my cheek, I was so pissed off and at the same time, tired. Unable to raise a hand, or say a word anymor
Ryan's POV I could sense it, the hesitation immediately I had driven in, and I didn't know what else to do. The air tingled with our breath mingling in it for a while. “We can go back if you don't want to step in,” I offered, to which she shook her head. Beaming at me with a smile on her face. “ I am here already, what is the need of going back when I am? She pulled the door open, stepping out before I could offer to help. I watched her step as they clambered in, before she was yanked into an arm. I stood watching both women. She was weeping and Gladys was doing the same.I leaned against the car, my eyes squinted as I watched them chatter on about all that had happened and when Nina brought out her phone, showing Gladys a picture, probably one of the twins, she squirmed before glaring at me. I shook my head to the side, wondering if she was cursing at me as well for being so careless when I shouldn't have. I pushed myself off my car, sauntering toward them, holding Nina by her
Nina's POVMy heart skipping contradicted what I had just said, but I couldn't help it. I fiddled with my hands wondering if there was a way he was going to know, especially with how his eyes kept peering into mine. I swallowed, not thinking of anything else aside from the fact that I was here to eat, but I wondered if it was going to be just that with the massive drape of lust that lingered over us threatening to puncture at any moment soon. “ I am sorry I made you lose all the love you had for me” I nodded. Not saying anything else than I should have to him. “ It is fine” I waved him off, a sneer escaping my lips. “ Are you going to stand there or cook?” My stomach growled, directing his gaze back to the table where he had placed all the items he was supposed to use. He nodded at me before directing his hands back into the sink, trying to rinse them when I dipped the broccoli in, and our eyes met. I stumbled back, almost dropping my ass on the floor when he held my wrist pulli
Ryan's POV “ Have a good night's sleep. I will be back tomorrow morning” I planted kisses on her forehead, watching as she glided back into the house. The smile on her face widened with each step she took and only when she was in the house was I able to take in a breath, while thinking of what to do. Nina hadn't said anything about the poisoning or what she was going to do, instead had just indulged at the moment like there was nothing going on. As though her life weren't on the verge of breaking down. Stepping on the pedal, I raced down the road, swerving off course to vault. I had given them a task, and that was to get whatever they could on the poison. It was almost impossible to find where Brian had kept the antidote, that bastard had kept it pretty well, and I couldn't help but compliment his skills also. “ Yes…” I pushed the door open, my gaze softened at how fast they were all working. I was thinking of giving them holidays soon, maybe after all the dusk had settled and e
