All Chapters of Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Richard's POVNever would I have thought that I was going to end up hidden in the bathroom away from glaring eyes, but now the glaring eyes had to be Jackson. I placed my ears against the door, trying so hard to listen to what was being said. “Why do you look so unbalanced? You shouldn't, you know”.Reina must be trying hard so that he wouldn't know that I am here. I was speechless, for someone who doesn't remember a thing about me. She was persistent, in trying to hide me away from him. “ Why are you here?” she questioned, and I couldn't help but figure out that her lips would have been culled when she asked that, and maybe she was fidgeting. “ I have to check your vital, I had recalled that I didn't do that when I was walking away, and so I had to come back” She let out throaty laughter. “ It is fine. I am okay, you don't have to do that” I could tell that she was anxious and Jackson, being who he was, was surely going to be suspicious. “ You know that you really don't have a c

Richard's POV“I don't want this” Reina mumbled in the still as Jackson stood demanding for an answer from her. “I don't want this,” she repeated. My heart pressed hard against my rib cage as I tried to ascertain what exactly it was that she didn't want. “This marriage, this sham, this facade, I don't want it. I feel nothing for you, I don't Jackson, no matter how hard I tried to. I can't fall in love with you”. Jackson's hands pulled from my clothes. His eyes swiveled around until they were locked on Reina instead. “You didn't mean that, did you? Gosh” his hands ran through his hair. “You can't do this. Why? What are you even talking about?” “I… I… I don't want this Jackson, I don't want to end up with you “The door yanked open, revealing a furious Mrs. Kourtney. “I should have known better when you kept refusing to go home. What exactly is he doing here?” her eyes held a contemptuous gaze, as though she were disappointed at Reina. Like she had done everything wrong and I didn't

Reina's POVMy stomach churned endlessly at the probably that this was going to be it. An endless pit that wouldn't have an end to it. I ran a hand almost unconsciously on my neck, caressing the necklace I had been given. I had messed up but I guessed that was it. I had fumbled this, messed up everything and now I didn't know what else to do unless someone came to help me. “ Do you love it? I wore it when I was getting married to your father, I am glad that I didn't give it to you when you were getting married to Richard, it's almost like I know it wasn't going to end well” She let out a sigh of relief, that conflicted with what to do. I wanted everything to be perfect but still …“ It is” I was sitting in front of my dressing mirror, barely a day after listening to Jackson's endless tales as he rambled on about how he didn't know who Ariana was. He had even let out a swear. “ But mother…” I flipped my head around, gazing at her not wavering. “ Is this right? I mean …gosh “ I di

Reina's POV“I know what you did last night, Reina” Jackson's hands dug on my shoulder, my heart beat accelerating with each moment that passed. We were alone, after he had insisted on sending everyone else, just so he could have one last talk with me before the wedding happens. My dream wedding so he had said, but who had told him that? I love the wisterias, I love everything, but I didn't want him to be the one by my side. “And so?” I summoned up the courage to ask, trying so hard not to flinch when it deepened. “ What exactly should I be scared of? It isn't like I wanted you and yes… I had a good time, he fucks and ….” “Don't…” he punched the mirror beside me, goosebumps erupted on my arm. “ Don't say a word. Gosh, don't you get it? You aren't supposed to be this way, you are supposed to be sorry, Ask me to forgive you, tell me you wouldn't do this again.” He forced me up, with hands squeezing my jaw. “ Ask me to forgive you for fucking someone else on the eve of our wedding…

Richard's POVWith hands fisted, I leaned against the door, waiting to hear a plea from Reina ordering them out, and I was going to storm in, just so that I could make her wish happen. “ Reina please” Nina was almost in tears as she pleaded to be heard out. “ I messed up, but this isn't the best way to do this, you can't just cut us off “A loud chuckle bounced off the wall,” Leave, I will come for my kids and that will be it”.This was a side of Reina I haven't seen before, she was cutting off everyone because of me, for me. I swallowed, the silence dragging on as I waited for anyone to say something, but they didn't. “ Fine, we should give her some time,” her father said for the first time. The shuffling of feet across the room made me tense up a bit before I walked in. “Richard," her words came off in a whisper. I stood transfixed to the spot, my arms wrapped gently around her as she leaned gently against me. “ You will be fine” my hands smoothened her back as her body rocked
