Reiner - Trouble
Zak was spot on. The news of him turning down his promotion made the news and was all over television. The worst part that both Zak and I had anticipated was that the press would draw implications from Zak’s recent decision to his mother, Madame Francesca.
“Do you think that this will impact your mother’s influence on the company’s management?”
“Is it true that you and Madame Francesca is in a disagreement about the future direction of the company?”
“Will this have an impact on investors’ sentiments? How does management plan to deal with it?”
“Does this mean that you no longer intend to support the company’s marketing and PR efforts? What about the international expansion plans?”
“Is Madame Francesca’s branch of the family going to withdraw from active management of the company?”
It was amazing how Zak could stand unfazed with a

“Excuse me! Zanita…” I yelled loudly.I didn’t hear a reply though.“Anybody out there? Is something burning?!” I tried again.Still, there was no reply. Suddenly, I felt that something was wrong. It’s too quiet and the smell of something burning was getting stronger. The dress I had on was slightly on the tight side and I started wriggling out of it so that I could change back to my original outfit. However, something caught my eye that changed my plans immediately.I gasped as I saw smoke coming in through the cracks in the dressing room door. There’s a fire?!This can’t be happening. Now that I can see smoke, the smell of something or everything burning got stronger than ever. Was the boutique really on fire? Where is everyone else?Truth be told, I had absolutely no idea what to do in an event of a fire. I’m supposed to get low and avoid breathing

“I bet you already know who’s behind this,” Edward said, his tone evidently darkened.“I do. Unfortunately, I don’t have any solid proof,” Zak said followed by an exasperated sigh.“This is precisely why I hate this family. Enemies are lurking all around us,” Edward hissed.“It’s my fault. All of this is my fault,” Zak said as if he was speaking to himself and his own demons.“Now now, don’t be too harsh on yourself. I’m sure Natalia will wake up in no time. That girl is stronger than you think,” Edward said as he tried to cheer up both Zak and himself.“Let’s send her away…” Zak whispered so softly that Edward had trouble hearing him.“…What?” Edward said in confusion and disbelief.“…nothing…” Zak mumbled his reply.Edwar
Forbidden Heat Reiner - Secret Desire
“Her injuries from the fire aren’t as bad as you think. The doctors also think that she will wake up soon. She’s just suffering from shock and there shouldn’t be anything really wrong with her brain,” Zak said as he approached Natalia’s bed and stood next to it. “I see…” Reiner murmured. He wasn’t exactly relieved. “I know what you’re thinking and you’re right. The fire wasn’t a mere accident. Edward and I have been investigating with our teams,” Zak said solemnly. “Arson…” Reiner whispered. “Yup. I’m convinced that it’s arson, but I don’t have solid proof right now,” Zak said before pressing his lips into a thin line. “I see…” Reiner said softly. Both men stood next to each other in silence for a while as they both looked down at Natalia’s partially bandaged face. Their minds filled with their own thoughts and emotions. However, it was Reiner who spoke up first. “Why did you send me the message?” Reiner asked. “To save you some time. You would have come to see her sooner or l
Forbidden Heat Reiner - Consciousness
It’s so hot…My eyes are burning…I can’t breathe…Somebody please…help me!R! Reiner…“R!” What just happened? It’s so dark, I can’t see anything……Reiner got up from where he was seated close to her bed immediately when he heard his name being called. His eyes widened in shock as he stared down at Natalia who was stirring as if waking from a deep slumber. Not making a sound to announce his presence, Reiner reached for the button close to her bed and pressed it to call the nurse. Natalia continued to stir and mumble his name softly as if she was desperately calling for him. However, Reiner has decided against revealing his presence to her so that she could focus on her recovery. It had been almost two full days since he had been watching over Natalia in the hospital. He was overjoyed that she had finally regained consciousness. The door opened and a nurse quickly came into the room and gestured for him to quickly step aside. Reiner did as he was instructed. He stepped away from t
Forbidden Heat Reiner – Silent Helper
A while after, the doctors and the nurses left the room, and I was alone. The room felt so quiet that it felt a little scary and lonely at the same time. Perhaps, it was because I was feeling a little lonely that the room suddenly felt colder than before. I felt around the bed for the blanket that had been removed from my body when my body was being inspected by the nurses. My hands felt around on the bed, trying to locate the blanket. Oh, there it is! My fingers finally brushed against the soft fabric of the blanket. I took it in my hand and began pulling it over my chest. I knew that not being able to see would make life difficult; however, I didn’t think that it would be this difficult. I couldn’t find anything because I couldn’t see. I had to rely on my sense of touch instead to fumble around when I searched. The worst part was that it was so boring when I couldn’t see. I couldn’t watch the television or scroll through social media and random apps on my phone. Come to think of
Forbidden Heat Reiner - A Good Change
“You mean that…you don’t think that it was an accident?” I asked, showing my shock. “It could be…but the probability of it being a mere accident is quite low. Regardless, when these things happen to a family member, it is the family’s responsibility to investigate it,” Lucien explained sternly. “Let’s not burden her with these issues. She’s still recovering,” Edward said sternly. “I’ve got a surprise for you,” Lucien said, and I could feel his warm hand on my shoulder.“Really? What is it?” I asked, curiously. “Umm…Miss Natalia…” I heard a familiar voice and I smiled immediately. “Laura! That’s you, right?” I said excitedly. “Yes, Miss,” Laura replied shyly. “From today onwards, Laura will be here to help take care of you…and of course, to keep you company,” Lucien announced.“That’s great but honestly, when I can go home? It’s so boring here. There’s nothing for me to do,” I grumbled. The men just laughed like it was very funny. “A few more days, Natalia. Please try to hang
Forbidden Heat Reiner - Always with Me
Now that the food was right in front of me, I could smell the delicious odor more clearly. “The food smells good…” I said softly. “I hope the food will suit your tastebuds as well, Miss,” Laura said, and I could sense that she was smiling. Well, I won’t know that until I take a bite. Feeling around the tray, I was able to locate the utensils and pick them up. “It might be a little hot, Miss. Please be careful,” Laura warned as she guided my hand towards the food bowl. “Thank you…I think I can take it from here…” I said, as I thanked her. Slowly, I brought the food to my lips before softly blowing on it. When I tasted it, I had to say that it tasted even than I had imagined that it would. Perhaps it was the fact that I haven’t had anything besides hospital food for too many meals, but the food tasted amazing. I couldn’t help but smile at the comforting taste of the food. It really does remind me of home. “Wow! I guess you really took my selfish complaint to heart, didn’t you? Th
Forbidden Heat Reiner - Time Together
Just like he had requested, every staff related to Natalia’s case was aware that he was her personal butler and would be taking care of her. He had told them to keep this a secret from Natalia and to act as if he wasn’t there. Confused but without any other options left at their disposal, they had reluctantly agreed to play along. Wordlessly, Reiner unlocked the breaks on Natalia’s wheelchair before he started to wheel her out of the doctor’s room. Unfortunately, the VVIP floor and Natalia’s room was quite a distance away from the doctor’s room which was located in the common part of the hospital. It wasn’t a problem for him, but he was worried about Natalia running into other people, especially if it happened to be someone who knew her or recognized her. Of course, he avoided interacting directly with her as much as possible. Opting to use Laura or the nurses to help him execute his tasks. He also never spoke to her. “Umm…excuse me...is the weather nice today?” Natalia spoke up su
