Love in the Headlines Hallucination
REIGN'S POV I had no idea when it started. Was it when I was 12 and was sick and a male teacher carried me and dropped me immediately with the excuse that I was too heavy? Or was it when the boy I was crushing on tried to lift me and could not even lift my arm, the embarrassment causing me to never show my face to him again? There were too much cases to remember so I had no idea which one exactly made me scared and terrified. Scared of being carried. The thought of being in the air and in my someone's arms made my head faint.Was it a phobia or just fear that was deeply rooted in me? You're too big to be carried.You're too big to be carried. Your weight can crush whoever is carrying you. Your nickname is matter, isn't it?It has always been what I heard and what I believed in solely. I would never let anyone lift me in their arms. Not even if I had it in control. I'd rather spare myself and the person the hassle“ No no, please. Put me down. ” I cried. I was too scared, too panicke

IVAN’S POV I sighed as I stared at the array of files on my desk. That's what I get for working from home frequently. I slipped my glasses on and immediately got sucked in my workspace. My mind was usually clear when I was working but this time, a certain redhead invaded my thoughts. I leaned back and sighed, remembering her extreme reaction to getting carried yesterday.I could not make sense of what happened exactly.Did I carry her roughly? No, I was sure I was gentle. Then what was the problem? I was extremely tempted to put her down when she started crying but she was too ill to walk by herself. When she suddenly swayed and I caught her, I panicked. It almost felt like she was dying. She looked pale and tired. I wondered why I did not notice her sickly appearance.Christian pushed the door open and stepped in, jolting me back to the present. I pulled off my glasses and leaned back in my seat.“ Here is the document for the land project with Davidson Corporation. ” Christian sa

REIGN'S POV I was out of the house as soon as the doctor checked on me. Just as I thought, it was not serious and there was no need for a doctor. The doctor who introduced himself as Charles, just checked my temperature then prescribed some drugs. Mel had invited me to her home and no sickness in the world would have made me miss it. All of our meetings had always been outside so I was really excited. It was everything I never got to experience as a kid, I was experiencing them now. Having a friend, visiting each other's house, sleepovers and so on were like a myth to me.Mel's family house was a freaking mansion. I did not have any words to describe it. My mouth dropped open as I stood in front of the huge door that would lead me inside.Was I even worthy of stepping into this epitome of opulence? What if I accidentally touched something I was not supposed to touch?“ Reign! You're here. ” Mel exclaimed as she stepped out of the door.“ Yes. ” I replied awkwardly, clutching the cro

REIGN'S POVI kicked the pebbles on the pathway absentmindedly as I walked home. After alighting from the bus, I did not feel the need to go home just yet so I opted for a walk instead. I had left Mel's home shortly after the incident with Matilda. Mel was distressed and I had no idea how to comfort her, I have never had siblings after all so I had no choice but to give her the space she needed.Matilda was horrible, that much was sure but a part of me felt like her animosity towards Mel goes beyond just Ivan choosing Mel over her. I sensed deep seated hatred in her, one that had been boiling for years.I looked around as I walked, enjoying watching other people. It was a favorite pastime for me to try and guess who they were and what their life entailed. But as I did so today, I felt melancholic.They probably all have something worthwhile going on for them, don't they?I loved spending time with Mel, I really did but watching her eyes spark when talking about something she loved ma

REIGN'S POV I groaned, clutching my head as I turned around and slept on my back instead. Everything hurts. Why did I drink so much yesterday? I sat up and looked around groggily. What was going on? My thoughts were all over the place and I felt weird.I felt funny.I pushed the duvet off me and suddenly it all made sense. I grabbed my pillow and screamed into it.Of course, is it really your time of the month if it didn't come at the wrong time? Is there even ever a right time?I wanted to just lie down and nurse my aching head while rotting away but it felt uncomfortable lying and doing nothing, knowing what was going on down there. I stood up and grimaced at the red patch on the sheets. I pulled it from the bed and folded it in a lump, with the aim of washing after I had taken my bath. I wanted to do it immediately but my first day was usually a river. I'd hate to stain anything else.Freshening up was a hassle and my cramps started to hit as soon as I stepped out of the bathroom

REIGN'S POV “ Get your fat ass up and go do something. ” A voice bellowed. Usually ‘fat ass' could mean two things. One, the person was impressed with the voluptuousness of your backside or the person was simply calling you fat. Staring into the disdain filled eyes of Mr Cobbs, I was sure his statement had nothing to do with my behind. I pushed my chair backwards and stood up, wringing my hands in nervousness. I wondered if I would ever be able to stand up for myself in front of this man. “ I was not sitting idly, Mr Cobb. ” “ Oh, I am sure, ” he muttered sarcastically. “ You just sit there and write reports that no one would ever care to read instead of going out to get me some juicy news. ” I stayed quiet, like I always do. I had no idea what he wanted me to say. Mr Cobbs sighed and rubbed his forehead, while murmuring words that I was sure were not pleasant. “ The CEO of Allure Ventures is holding a press conference today to explain his sex scandal, you know what to do. ” He

REIGN’S POV My hands moved before my brain did as I quickly pulled my camera from my bag and took quick pictures. It was a bit blurry from where I stood but it was obvious what the people in the frame were doing. I stood up from my butt and escaped, my heart in my throat the whole time. I placed my hand on my racing heart when I finally reached the lobby, glad I was able to leave unscathed. I glanced at the time, surprised to see it was closing time already. I was relieved that I did not have to go back to the hospital. It felt like my camera was burning a hole through my back. Even on my way home, I bit my lips in thoughts on what to do with the pictures. Hours later, I was sitting cross-legged in front of the coffee table with my laptop in front of me, staring at the edited picture of Ivan and his mistress. It will be 12 soon and all the story submissions for the production early tomorrow will close. Could I really do this? I thought, wringing my hands together, a habit that I

IVAN’S POV I clenched my fists in anger as I watched the constant ringing of my phone. The shrill, annoying sound definitely succeeded in ruining my mood further. Tired of the sound, I switched off the phone and threw it on the table harshly. Christian came in at that moment. “ We have taken the news down but it has already spread wild. Everyone now thinks you are a cheating bastard. It took a while because of the traffic on the post. All broadcast stations have also been notified not to post anything, well except the one that already posted. “ Christian snickered. A hard glare was what he got in response but it didn't scare him a bit. Anyone else would have pissed in their pants, but not Christian. After all, he was my best friend. “ Who was the journalist that released it? ” I asked, trying to stay rational and ease the bloodlust brewing in me. The realization that all my carefully thought-out plan was ruined overnight did nothing to alleviate the wrath I felt about the situatio

Love in the Headlines Scars
REIGN'S POV A gasp escaped my lips before I could stop it. My hand came up to muffle it but it was too late. Ivan already noticed my outburst. He turned back to look at me, his eyes clouding in realization. I had seen the scars on his back and they were not just any kind. They were whip marks, cigarette burns and others that I could place where he got them from. Just as I imagined several times, he had tattoos on his back but they were not enough to cover the gruesomeness on his back.Who did that to him?Ivan’s whole demeanor was clouded in regret and I knew if he could wipe my memory, he would.Realizing my continuous presence was a time ticking bomb, I turned back to the door, in a hurry to leave his sight. He had not said anything but I knew venom was just at the tip of his tongue and I'd rather spare myself from any verbal abuse.“ Halt.” Ivan said, or rather commanded and I found myself stopping like a soldier listening to his superior’s instructions. “ Are you satisfied? ”
Love in the Headlines A woman in my bed
IVAN’S POV I sighed in bliss as I snuggled into my mum's embrace. I knew mum was still going to be there when I woke up. Mum would never leave me. She was just joking when she said she was going on a journey.Mum's embrace was as warm and loving as always. I mumbled as I wrapped my hands tighter around her. It was weird though. Mum was frail the last time I had seen her but now, Mum was fuller and bigger. Mum was healthy—My eyes shot wide open, the sunlight from the window, a startling brightness. I closed my eyes again, before opening them slowly, adjusting to the unwanted brightness.I sighed as I remembered the content of my dream. Could it even be called a dream when they are my memories? Something I had to live through.I placed my right arm over my eyes, the brightness annoying me. For some reason, I could not move my other arm. I glanced to my left and my soul almost left my body when I saw Reign's beautiful face.I would just ignore the adjective I unconsciously used to desc
Love in the Headlines Mummy
IVAN’S POVTwenty five years ago.I laughed as I ran after the ball, excitement making my pace faster. I grinned when I was finally able to catch it. I turned back and waved at my mum. Her smile had me running back to her with my prize tucked under my arm.“ Mum, again. ” I grinned, wanting to continue the game of throw and catch where she would throw the ball while I run after it to catch it.“ Aren't you tired? ” She asked, caressing my sweat-dampened hair. Lately, mum looked more and more frail and I asked what was wrong with her but she just smiled and told me not to worry but I worry. I shook my head. “ No, it's the first time you have played with me in a while. ”“ But your dad will soon be back. You know he won't like to see you doing something so childish. ”The smile on my face disappeared at the mention of my father. I hated him. He was too strict and liked shouting at mum. He always told me to be a man and avoid childish things but I do not understand. I was a child, there
Love in the Headlines His demons
REIGN'S POV I jumped, dropping my book as I heard the door shut tightly downstairs. It was startling hearing such a loud noise in a house that was usually quiet. I sat up when I heard feet stomping and groaning. Ivan must be back from the banquet.It was really weird though. It was hard to tell whether Ivan was around or not because he never made noises going out or coming in. However, he was alerting everybody within a five-mile radius that he was back. I wondered if he was drunk again. I do not want to be in the presence of drunk Ivan ever again. He was brutal, unfeeling and had no bottom line.I plopped down on my head, ignoring all the ruckus he was making. I had no idea if it was on purpose or if he was too out of it to caution himself but I wanted no interaction with him. I picked up the book I was reading and drowned out all other noises. The book I was reading had the enemies to lovers trope and so far, it was really interesting. The male lead was just as mean as Ivan but th
