After dinner, Reyna pulled William aside, an uneasy feeling in the pit of her stomach. “Can I speak with you privately for a moment?” she asked. William raised an eyebrow but followed her out to the hallway. As soon as they were out of earshot, Reyna whirled around, anger flashing in her eyes. “What was that stunt you pulled during dinner?” she demanded, keeping her voice low. “Mia looked terrified. Irritation crossed William’s face. “I told you from the beginning not to expect me to play father to your daughter,” he said coldly. “I provided full financial support to you as we agreed. But parenting is not part of the arrangement.” “That doesn’t mean you need to scare her!” Reyna shot back, struggling to keep her voice down. “She’s just a little girl, William. There was no call for you to try to intimidate me in front of a six-year-old.” William’s eyes narrowed dangerously and he took a step towards Reyna, his tall frame looming over her. She fought the urge to step back, standing

William stared after her fleeing form, the fire dying from his eyes. As the haze of anger and alcohol faded, horror flooded through him at his own actions. “Reyna, wait!” he called hoarsely, taking a stumbling step after her. What had he done? He hadn’t laid hands on a woman in violence since… But Reyna was already gone, her footsteps receding rapidly up the stairs. William ran an agitated hand through his disheveled hair, cursing himself violently. He hadn’t lost control like that in years. And to take it out on Reyna of all people… “Reyna!” he tried again, moving unsteadily toward the stairs. But there was only silence. As he reached the top landing, he thought he heard muffled sobs from behind her bedroom door. William approached slowly, shame and self-loathing threatening to choke him. He raised one hand hesitantly. “Reyna,” he rasped, his voice cracking. “I…I don’t know what came over me. I’m so sorry. Please…” He trailed off helplessly. But his only answer was the resoundin

William sighed in frustration as he went to greet his mother at the front door. "What are you doing here?" Eleanor turned, looking her son up and down with pursed lips. "Well don't you look a mess, William. I see you haven't changed your playboy ways." William ran a hand through his tousled hair self-consciously. "Actually, Mother, things are different now." He put an arm around Reyna's waist. "This is my wife, Reyna." Eleanor's pencil-thin eyebrows shot up in surprise. Her gaze traveled from Reyna's flushed face to William's crooked shirt collar. A judgmental glint flashed in her eyes. "Your wife?" she said dubiously. "I wasn't aware you were even dating anyone. How long has this been going on behind my back?" "Uh, well..." William faltered, exchanging a nervous glance with Reyna. Thinking on his feet, he fibbed, "We met a while ago through, uh, mutual friends. Been secretly together for months." He faked an adoring smile at Reyna. "You know how I like to avoid publicity, Mo

Reyna looked at herself in the mirror as the maid finished zipping up the back of her evening gown. It was a sleek red number that hugged her curves delicately. She knew William had specifically chosen this gown for the charity gala they were attending that evening, wanting his "wife" to look the part. As she applied the final touches of lipstick, her thoughts drifted to Mia. Her daughter was asleep in one of the many guest rooms of the lavish mansion, being cared for by their usual nanny. Reyna hated leaving her, even for a few hours, but these public appearances were important for maintaining her and William's fabricated relationship. A few days after the emotional ordeal with William's father, Reyna and William found themselves preparing for their next public appearance as a married couple. A big charity gala was being held by one of William's philanthropic foundations, and as the public faces, they had to put on a happy front. Reyna quickly got ready, slipping into a glittering

The next morning, Reyna awoke with a pounding headache, both physically and emotionally drained from the previous night's events. She dragged herself out of bed and got ready for the day, dreading what was to come. When she came downstairs for breakfast, William was already there nursing a cup of black coffee. He barely glanced in her direction as she sat down, remaining stoically silent. An agonizing tension hung heavy in the air between them.Reyna cautiously broke the silence. "William, about last night...""I'd rather not discuss it," he interrupted brusquely, not meeting her eyes. Finishing his coffee in one gulp, he stood up. "We have business at your winery today. Be ready to leave in 30 minutes."With that, William exited, leaving Reyna staring helplessly after him. She tried to push down the rising hurt and disappointment swelling in her chest; this cold shoulder treatment was to be expected, she supposed, after everything that had transpired. Quickly finishing her own coff

William hesitated, conflict warring in his eyes. Reyna lay breathless beneath him, the heady desire of moments ago dissipating into uneasy tension. He closed his eyes briefly and took a deep breath. “Reyna…I think this was a mistake. We shouldn’t have…” Her face fell, and her chest clenched painfully. “Why? What changed?” “I just…” William sighed and pulled away, swiftly redressing in tense silence. Reyna sat up slowly, clutching the tattered remains of her dress to her bare chest. “Please talk to me, William. What did I do wrong?” He turned to face her, his expression unreadable in the shadows. “You still have feelings for Nicholas.” Reyna froze. How could she reply to that without hurting him further? “The past can’t be erased so easily. But I want to move forward, with you.” William ran a hand through his hair wearily. “I saw the way you looked at him. It’s clear there’s still…something there.” “Maybe once, but not anymore. You’re the one I choose.” Reyna reached for h

Nicholas smiled charmingly at Reyna. “Can we talk?”Reyna sighed irritably. “I’m really not in the mood for this, Nicholas.”He wasn’t used to rejection from her. “Please, it will just take a minute.”Knowing he wouldn’t stop pestering, Reyna relented. “Fine, but make it quick.”“Me and Olivia are ending things.”“Sorry to hear it fell apart. But you can’t expect me to pity you after everything that happened,” she said coldly.Defensiveness crept into Nicholas’ tone. “I’m not asking for pity, Reyna. I still have feelings for you, that’s all.”Reyna scoffed. “Spare me. We’re over, have been for a long time.”Hurt flashed across Nicholas’ face, then defiance. “You can’t keep shutting me out. I know there’s still a connection between us.”Reyna had heard enough. “No means no, Nicholas. I’m not doing this with you again.”She got in the car sharply, avoiding his pleading gaze. Thomas drove off, sensing her agitation.Reyna arrived at the winery already on edge from her encounter with Nich

Reyna gently dabbed at her wound in the bathroom mirror, wincing slightly at the lingering sting. The cut was shallow but angry and swollen, marring her otherwise flawless cheek. She shook her head at the surreal turn of events, still trying to process it all.A soft knock startled her from her daze. “Reyna? May I come in?” William’s voice floated through the door, laced with concern.“Yeah, it’s open,” she called back wearily. William entered holding a fresh ice pack and first aid supplies.“How’s it looking?” he asked, eyeing the cut with a doctor’s care. Reyna shrugged helplessly.“About as well as can be expected, I guess. I still can’t believe Olivia actually hit me,” she muttered in disbelief. William made a sound of agreement as he gently pressed the cold pack to her cheek.The soothing chill helped dull the sting, allowing Reyna to refocus. “Thank you for taking care of me, William. I appreciate you calming things down back there too.”He waved off her gratitude. “Of course. I

“I have some very good news”“Talk to us, doctor”, William said. “Well, as per your request, we ran the tests and we are happy to inform you, miss Flores that you now have a donor for Mia’s surgery.”Reyna was too stunned to speak. “What…. You’re joking right? Please tell me you’re not kidding. My baby is going to live?” She stuttered as she felt tears of joy beginning to fall from her eyes. She was beyond happy. Everything was beginning to look up and she could not wait to meet with the donor. “Of course, miss Flores. We had someone come in some time ago to run a test to check compatibility and the results came back positive. So, there you have it.” He said. “Oh! Thank goodness. Thank you so much doctor.” She said, as she reached out for a handshake. “It’s no problem, ma’am”.“If it’s no problem, can we meet with the donor? I would love to give my heartfelt gratitude to the person.” Reyna said. “Of course you can. Matter of fact, you can see him right now. He is sitting right n

“Nicholas, what are you doing here?”“Reyna, Reyna, you know there is absolutely no need for you to be so defensive around me.” He said as he dna irked and tsked at her. Reyna didn’t need to hear him out to know that he was bad news. There was just something sinister about his sudden appearance at the hospital. But then, she thought, maybe he had given careful thought to her offer and agreed to come over and help out with the treatment process, but she refused to get her hopes up until she heard from him what it was that brought him here. “Why are you here?” Reyna asked, maintaining her stance. She refused to be swayed or intimidated by Nicholas’ presence. She was done being his little scared wife. “Straight to the point, I see. You know, that is one of the things that attracted me to you in the first place. You never liked beating about the bush. Always straight down to business. Always, always, never failed to get a rise out of me. Never. Even now, you’re just the same as ever.”

Reyna followed William to his car, dropping off her keys with him as he locked her doors and made sure that she had everything she had packed for Mia picked up in his car, he helped her climb into his car. Surprisingly, he had come in a rolls Royce cullinan pickup truck. It was a nice change from the ground level Bugattis and the Aston martins he usually rode in. She sat down and he closed the door for her after strapping her in. She had to admit, it was nice being taken care of and not having to always be the one to worry and take charge of things. All she had ever needed in her life was a man that she could lean on at the end of the day after juggling work and the full time job of being a mother. She needed someone who would take charge and rest after a long day. Somehow, William was not only offering to do just that but he was showing her all that he intended to do. She only wished she could let herself go well enough to finally allow herself to be taken care of by him. She watch

Mia felt blinding pain everywhere. She cried out to her mother who held her head in her arms. She could feel the cold hands of unconsciousness slowly creeping in as specks of black clouded her vision. Out of breath and in so much pain, she gave in to the dark recesses of unconsciousness as Reyna struggled to keep her awake. William had gone out to get the doctors and aunt Mildred had not yet come back from her errand. Reyna sobbed as she hugged Mia to herself. She kept begging Mia to open her eyes but the young child was not responsive as she lay limp in her arms. She let out a toe curling scream as the pain of seeing her baby girl unconscious and unmoving tore at her heart, shredding it up in pieces and stomping on them again and again. William bursted into the room, doctor Byers and two other nurse ls following him closely behind as they tried to make sense of the situation and get to work. William pried Reyna away from Mia’s unconscious body but the broken hearted woman fought ha

William drove like a mad man from the office to the park, bypassing every sign and speed limit just to get to Reyna, he had never broken any speed limit but for Reyna, he was ready to do anything. He had never felt this strongly for a woman in all his life. In less than five minutes, he was at the park, racing crazily to the park, frantically looking around for Reyna or her car. He tried calling her but for some reason, he could not reach her and it made him more anxious. Thankfully, after a few failed tries, he was able to get her. He heaved a sigh of relief as the call went through. “Hello, William”, Reyna’s voice sounded more like a whisper from the other end of the line. “Reyna, thank goodness. I have been trying to reach you since forever. I’m at the park gate. Where are you?” He asked in a single breath. “I’m at the lake just by the big tree”, she said. She sounded so stressed and tired and William’s heart went out to her. He quickly ran out to meet her, spotting her car do

Nicholas stood at the door of the office. He was surprised to see her so soon, even more surprised when he saw her name flash on his phone in a call about five minutes ago. True, he had been in a meeting but he had immediately cancelled and rescheduled the meeting, but he would never let her know that. Reyna took a deep breath as soon as the door started to open. It was time to put on her big girl pants and face Nicholas. She started walking out of the elevator, a sudden air of confidence in her stride as she walked into the room. She was never a timid woman and Nicholas would not make her one. “Reyna, what a pleasant surprise. I never imagined I would see the day you would walk in to my office.” Nicholas said as his face widened in a smirk. Reyna scoffed. Of course he was going to try to rub it in her face. “I am not here on my volition, if that’s what you are thinking. I only came to talk to you about Mia.” She said as she finally reached him. His smile dropped a bit but he didn

Mia felt so weak and so much pain that talking had become more of a Herculean task for her. She slowly woke up as she felt someone crying and holding her hands. She had not even realized that she had fainted and had been rushed to the hospital. There, kneeling next to her bed was the unmistakable head of her mother who held her hands and cried into the sheets. She looked up to see aunt Mildred also standing there, in tears. She opened her mouth to say something but no words came out. Her throat felt parched and even being awake was painful to the young child. Soon, she felt like screaming as her heart started beating faster, offsetting the machine next to her and drawing her mother and aunt’s attention. She could hear them talking to her and crying and moving around between themselves but she could not do anything but look around and just observe her surroundings. Soon, a doctor and a nurse rushed into the room as her mom and aunt were ushered out of the room. She could hear the do

Reyna slowly woke up, she tried to get up but fell back feeling a pain in her head. She laid back down, moving from side to side to try to fire out where she was, the pain in her head increasing with each movement. For a brief moment, she had no clue where she was or what had happened. After a few minutes, the curtain was pulled to the side revealing a distressed looking aunt Mildred. “Oh! My poor child. You are awake. You had me so worried. How do you feel now? Does it hurt anywhere?” Aunt Mildred asked as she walked up to Reyna’s bed, placing a hand on her forehead to check her temperature before going on to give the still confused Reyna a once over. Reyna still felt the last waves of the sedatives running through her veins and was still a bit out of it. “Oh! Thank the heavens. You look better. I’ll have the doctor come in and see if you’re out of the woods yet. Just stay there, don’t you move a muscle, you hear me?” Ain’t Mildred said as she hastily ran out of the curtained ro
