The Revenge Of Reyna Collins 27
The underlying threat in Nicholas' words lingered as they continued to eat in silence, Mia thankfully finishing her meal quietly. Reyna prayed silently that she had made the right choice in bringing Mia into the endless emotional battles she had been fighting with Nicholas. What did he mean by 'until he could vanquish any threats to our family'? She knew Nicholas could be brutal, and she had seen firsthand how far he could go when he was very possessive about something - or in this case, someone. But she was not willing to find out what he meant by that.Reyna's mind wandered to William. As much as she needed to keep her daughter as safe as possible, she couldn't deny that somehow, in the short time she had known William, she had felt a sense of security and calmness. There were feelings steadily growing, and as much as she tried not to acknowledge them, she couldn't deny their presence. Sure, he had faults which were understandable, but still, she couldn't risk doing that to Mia. He
The Revenge Of Reyna Collins 28
It was as if the forces of nature had agreed to work together and deny her any sleep. Reyna tossed and turned all night as her mind kept reeling from the chaos that was her life. How had her life gone from a simple housewife to a successful entrepreneur who loved and cherished her with a beautiful home to being torn between two men, one of which was the cause of her emotional turmoil and another who had come dressed as a knight in shining armor who turned out to be as shady as the other. She sighed as she turned once again to face the ceiling as she huffed out a frustrated breath. Reyna stared at the ceiling for a second longer before finally getting up and deciding she needed some water and a walk. Reyna silently got out of her room as she padded her way down the familiar walls of the house she once loved but had grown to despise as they held memories that haunted her for days on end. She walked down the stairs and into the kitchen where she headed straight for the fridge as she
The Revenge Of Reyna Collins 29
Reyna’s body shook as the sobs wracked through her body. She couldn’t believe she had fallen into yet another deceitful trap set by Nicholas and Olivia. She had been foolish enough to allow herself be ridiculed by the same people who had once caused her a lifetime of heartbreak and suffering. Aunt Mildred just held her heartbroken niece as she cried in her arms, rubbing her back as she allowed her to let go of all the emotions that were sweeping through her body. Of course she had seen this coming and had warned her niece about it but then, the heart wants what it wants and young love can be foolish. She had only hoped that whatever would finally bring her to her senses wouldn’t eventually break her. “Now, now, dear one, let it all out, let it all out. I got you.” She said as she kept alternating between patting her on back and running her hands down her back to soothe her. Reyna let go after crying for a while, and aunt Mildred ushered them both to a chair where they sat, still ho
The Revenge Of Reyna Collins 30
To her surprise, Reyna woke up feeling very invigorated and energetic the next morning. It felt like a new dawn had come and she was ready to take on the world. She quickly got ready for the day, carefully picking out an outfit and taking extra time to get rid of the bags under her eyes due to the excessive crying she had done the day before. She got ready and left her bedroom and headed straight for Mia’s room. Mia was, of course, still asleep. “Come on sweet pea, time to get up or you’ll be late for school”, she said as she woke up the six year old who just yawned and sat up, sleepily rubbing her eyes. “Good morning mama”, she said. “Good morning, my love. Did you have a good night’s rest?” Reyna asked as she bent down to lat a kiss on the child’s forehead. “Uh huh. I had a dream about unicorns and fairies. I didn’t have wings like the fairies but I was able to ride on the unicorns. I even fed some of them…..” she babble on sleepily as Reyna ushered her to the bathroom where sh

Reyna rolled her eyes as she suddenly felt her head throb. Nicholas could not have chosen a more terrible time. William looked down at Reyna as if to ask permission to do something. Reyna shook her head silently begging him to not rise to the bait as she placed her hand on his back to calm him down and also reassure him that she was okay with being alone with him, a sight that didn’t go past Nicholas. He couldn’t believe that Reyna would move on from him so quickly. It made him think back to what Olivia said. Could it be that Reyna was actually using them for the sole purpose of building her brand and raising funds for her winery? The thought of the possibility made his blood boil. Nicholas gritted his teeth at the sight of William and Reyna having that silent conversation with him still there and it made him feel like the odd one out - a feeling that never sat well with him. He craved her attention and always found himself going feral whenever she left him out. Of course, he had n

After the fiasco with Nicholas, Reyna went on to continue with her business, refusing to let his childishness get to her. She attended to all the items on her to do list as prepared by her assistant. Soon, it was time to go pick up Mia. She quickly rounded up her work and began her trip to Mia‘s school. She got there in no time and made she way to the reception. The school halls were full of kids and parents who had come to pick up their children. “Hello, good afternoon”, she greeted the lady at the reception. “Good afternoon, how may I help you?” The young lady smiled and asked as she turned her attention away from the computer in front of her. The lady stood up as she attended Reyna. “Good afternoon, I’m here to pick up my daughter, Mia.” Reyna said.“Okay, please give me a minute”, the lady responded fed before typing in a few things on her computer. Her smile turned down for a second as she typed again. Reyna watched as she suddenly felt an unsettling feeling in her. “It seem
The Revenge Of Reyna Collins 33
Reyna could not believe the nerve of this man. He had so much impunity that she found herself entertaining dark thoughts of dealing with him to get back at him for all the things he had put her through. “You lost the right to be Mia’s father the day you walked out on us, you hear me?” Reyna seethed at him. “You are not Mia’s father and you will never be her father, do you hear me? You chose Olivia and her baby and you walked out on us. So you don’t get to come here and act all heavenly as if you have ever done anything worth doing for us. This will be the first and the last time you will ever in your life have any damn thing to do with us without my permission. Don’t tempt me, Nicholas.” She said. Nicholas had the nerve to smile down at her as he took a step closer to her, suppressing the feeling of surprise when she didn’t flinch or take a step back. Hmmm, he thought, she must be really pissed. But then, he didn’t let it show neither did he let it bother him as he looked down at he
