I remained silent as Reign held my hand. We just got out from the staircase, and now, we are walking between the maids while their heads are bowed. I roamed my eyes on the maids and trying to figure out Thraia, Brielle, and Luna among them.
“Where is Thraia? Is she okay? How about Luna and Brielle?” I asked Reign when I didn’t saw them. He just continued grabbing my hand.
“I ordered Thraia for something important and for the two maids you mentioned,” Reign stopped in front of the double door connected to the dining hall. He looked at me with an intense expression, “They are taking a rest. One of them is badly injured,”
“You mean Luna? How is she?” I asked while worried was showed in my voice. Reign gently cupped my cheeks and smiled at me. He was assured that everything is alright.
“Don’t worry. The doctor already examined her si
“It’s a necklace from my late grandmother. She told me that I should give it to the woman of my life,” I looked at Reign in shock while holding the jade pendant I was wearing. He was firmly looking at me.“Then why are you giving it to me?” my legs are shaking under the round table between us, but I tried to get rid of it. I’m nervous, and my heart was beating furiously.Reign reached for my hand on the other side and gently cupped it, “Because you are my woman,” he then brought my hand in his face and kissed the back of it without taking off his eyes. I was startled as his lips touch my skin, giving off this warm feeling.I couldn’t answer because I felt like it stitched my mouth together. I’m having a hard time opening it or even speaking a word. I was staring at Reign, trying to see if he was joking, but it looks like he isn’t.
The next day, I woke up at noon. Reign and I did a lot yesterday. We walked on the shore, ocean riding, and went to the top of the island. I didn’t know there was a lighthouse here. I was flustered when I remembered how we did these things while holding each other’s hands like a couple.I’m currently taking a shower as I can’t stop myself from blushing. I almost screamed with excitement, but I suppressed myself. This is the first time I have felt this way.While I was shampooing, I couldn’t stop myself from jumping. I know that on my own, I like Reign, and I feel something more than that. I’m new to this, so I don’t know what to do.I calmed myself, and when I finished soaping all parts of my body, I immediately reached my hand over the spare then placed it on my bare skin to wash my lather-filled body from the soap. Warm water gushing from the spare enveloped my nake
It’s been two days since Reign was out to the City. After that day, he immediately left the island, and I didn’t know that he had brought Shino along with him. I wasn’t even given a chance to talk to Shino and thank him for taking care of me while being captivated by Sharmon.I let out a deep sigh as I lay my body on the bed. It’s already afternoon, and I just finished eating my lunch. Boredom was striking me! I was here in Reign’s room, sleeping alone for two days.I leaned over from my reclining position and immediately reached for the pillow above my head to hug it tightly. I was flustered as I smelled Reign’s scent on the pillowcase. I don’t know, but I just found myself smelling it. Even though I don’t want to admit this, I miss Reign.I stopped from what I was doing and calmed myself. I adjust my position and let go of the pillow I was hugging, then stared
“How are you feeling, Luna?” I asked and sat on the bed beside Luna, who was leaning on the headboard. When Thraia asked me earlier about where I wanted to go, Luna and Brielle immediately came into my mind. Thraia lead me here, and I didn’t know that there was a mini-hospital inside this house. How big is Reign’s house? Maybe, there are some things that I don’t know yet. This place was vast, and I don’t have time to tour everything here. I prefer to hang out on the terrace. “I’m fine, miss. Thank you so much for helping us that day,” Luna asked with a small voice. I reached for her hands placed above her legs, covered with a white blanket. I shrugged my head and gently caressed her hands. “You don’t need to thank me. How’s your eye’s condition?” Luna gave me a smile. “There is no other problem, miss. Other than excessive bleeding and pain, there was no infection. I was grateful for wha
“Reign?” I asked to clarify even though everything is already evident. My heart was beating so hard as I placed my phone on my right ear, lying down and facing the ceiling.“I said, I miss you,” Reign’s baritone voice filled my ears. It feels like we are together even though we are just talking through the phone. I swallowed and sat lying on the bed.“What should I answer?” I asked without thinking. I gently poke my head. What kind of question was that, Ruchee? As waiting for Reign’s answer, my heart furiously beat like it was breaking off from the cage.“Don’t you miss me?” Reign’s breathy voice sends shivers down to my spine. It feels like he was demanding me to answer that I miss him.“How are you?” I asked, changing the topic. I don’t know what to answer. I was flustered, especially about his int
It’s been a week since Reign called me. After that day, he did not call me back again. I was wondering what happened to him. What happened about the raid thing they are talking about last time? Is Reign safe and sound? What is he doing now? I can’t help but worry about him. I let out a deep sigh and then continued washing my body. I know that Reign was fine, and I don’t need to worry myself about him. I was currently in the bathroom, taking a shower. I still can’t forget Reign’s last words, and it keeps coming inside my mind that made me flustered. I calmed myself and immediately finished washing my body. I went out of the bathroom afterward and got dressed. Then I sitting on the bed as I dry my hair with a towel; I told the other maids that I can handle myself, and they don’t have to blower my hair every time I finished taking a batch since I can do it for own. I took another deep sigh and turned
“Is this the reason why I can’t reach the both of you earlier?” I asked Reign with a soft voice. He was sitting on the bed in front of me while I was caressing Russiana’s hair; she was sleeping and making my legs as a pillow. We are still in Reign’s room.I turned my eyes on the bedside table and stared at the time; it’s already eleven in the evening. I’ve been sleeping for almost two hours. Reign reached for my hands, caressing my sister’s hair; he brought it to his face, and just like what he did before, he kissed it, which made me flustered.I almost moved my body backward, but I suppressed myself. Russiana were sleeping on my thighs, and I don’t want to wake her up. She seems tired from the travel. I looked at Reign; his lips were still touching my hand’s skin.I can’t help but smile, “I missed you so much,” he said in a l
I woke up while a masculine scent greeted my sense of smell. I was flustered when I saw Reign’s Adam’s apple moving in front of my face. We are sleeping together, and I made his arms as my pillow while facing his manly neck.I looked up, and while staring at his face, there are tiny bruises on his cheek, forehead, and on the side of his eyes. Leading my fingers on his bruises and gently touched them. What could have happened? Is it about the raid I heard from the last time we talk on the phone?My gaze landed on Reign’s pursed lips. I suddenly blushed when what happened last night came to my mind. I averted my eyes and bit my lower lips. I then took my hands on Reigns’ face and pressed my forefinger on my lips. I can’t help but giggles quietly.I thought that something would happen to the two of us last night, but only we just kissed. I’m not disappointed or something. I can&rsqu
