Reina locked herself in her room after she left the dining table. âHe is leaving! Xavier is fucking returning to Yolanda the moment he regained his strength!â Reina yelled, crying. She picked up her phone and called her aunt Carlotta. âReina? What happened? We spoke not too long ago.â Carlotta asked, hearing Reina crying. âAunt, Xavier⊠he's going back. All this while, I⊠I thought there must be an explanation for what happened between him and Yolanda, but I was wrongâŠ" Reina continued to cry. âOh, my dear. Please stop crying. I know it hurts, but my opinion still stands. Yolanda is cunning; she might have had those pictures photoshopped back then or maybe used some of her schemes. You can't let her win.â Carlotta explained, and Reina could hear the determination in her voice. âBut she's pregnant with Xavier's child. Andââ Reina began, but Carlotta interrupted her. âMy niece, really?â Carlotta facepalmed herself on the other end; she shook her head in disbelief that that was her

Involves bloody scenes; please skip if you're uncomfortable. ~~~ Xavier had reviewed the footage from three months ago and had the lady who served Reina the lemonade taken to his torture chamber in the underground base under the mountain. âWho instigated you?â Xavier mumbled coldly, and the maid, whose body was trembling violently, shuddered at the sound of Xavier's voice. She turned and saw Xavier approaching her with a murderous aura. âIâI don't know. Please trust me. I received a package; inside were the instructions, a sachet containing pills, and a picture of my little son tied up. It was written they would kill him if I don't give the madam the drug. I'm sorry, but I had to do it. My son is my life; I couldn't lose him,â the maid sobbed as she explained. âYou didn't want to lose your child, but my wife and I can?â Xavier asked, exuding a chilling aura. âI'm sorry⊠Please forgive me.â âI forgive you. But we're going to play a game. I will
Xavier knelt in front of Reina and took her trembling hands. âNo. Amore mio, I will die without you. I'm sorry I wasn't there when you needed me the most. I'm also sorry for not asking your opinion before bringing another woman into our home. But what do you mean by me having sex with Yolanda?â Xavier asked with a dumbfounded expression. Reina looked at Xavier's confused expression with a frown and said, âBecause that's exactly what you did! Are you going to deny it?â âNo, no. I won't deny something that never happened. That night after I left the hospital, I wanted to get drunk and ease the pain. I also regretted what I said to you back at the hospital.â Xavier explained remorsefully, his grip on Reina's hands firm and desperate. âHowever, I discovered that Yolanda had been residing in the penthouse. After learning of her pregnancy, I decided to let her move in with us. I left her and went to sleep. I was so inebriated that I fell asleep as soon as my body made contact with th
Xavier was about to turn down the corridor when he heard Yolanda's pleading voice.âI'm sorry.âHe frowned as he walked out and saw Reina about to walk down the stairs. Everything happened so fast before he could register; Yolanda turned and pushed Reina with great force.âReina, watch out!â He yelled, but Yolanda had already shoved her. Xavier ran over.Yolanda's face turned pale as her knees gave out under her at Xavier's voice.What Xavier saw on reaching the stairs was Lorenzo hugging Reina in his arms. He let out a breath of relief and asked Reina,âAre you alright?â Reina, who still hadn't recovered from her fright, inhaled and exhaled shakily before pulling out of Lorenzo's arms. She turned to look at Xavier before nodding with a small, âI'm fine.â Xavier nodded and turned toward Yolanda, seated on the floor in a sorry state.âWhat gave you the courage?â Xavier inquired, his voice smooth yet laced with an underlying tension, like the eerie stillness that comes first before
The ride back from the hospital was filled with a suffocating and oppressive silence, thick enough for a knife to cut through. Both Alfonso and Laura busied themselves with their own thoughts, each silently vowing not to break the silence first. The tension in the car was palpable, wrapping around them like a fog as they navigated the familiar road. Alfonso, lost in a whirlwind of contemplation, was so distracted that he barely noticed the yellow light turn red ahead. The sudden realization jolted him, and he reflexively slammed on the brakes. The abrupt halt sent Laura lurching forward, but the seatbelt clasped around her securely, holding her back from the impending impact of the dashboard. She inhaled sharply, her heart racing in response to the jarring interruption of her swirling thoughts. âAre you alright? Do you feel pain in the stomach?â Alfonso inquired worriedly, his hand softly caressing Laura's stomach. Laura's cheeks heated up as Alfonso checked her so gent
Laura had fallen asleep when they arrived at Xavier's mansion. Alfonso got out and walked to her side to open the car when the car Xavier was riding in came to a stop beside theirs. Alfonso smirked and opened the car door and carried Laura bridal style. Xavier looked at Alfonso carrying his mother and got out of the car. Xavier looked at Alfonso with a grim expression and said, âMeet me in my study once you send her to her room.â Alfonso nodded and walked ahead. ~ Xavier loosened his tie as he dropped himself into the swivel chair in his study; he pinched the bridge of his nose as he shut his eyes. A lot has transpired over the past two months. Numerous attacks have targeted his underground headquarters here in Sicily, Colombia, and Russia. These assaults came from various enemies, but he was acutely aware of the identity of the mastermind orchestrating them. After much contemplation, he came to the decision of transferring Alfonso to Russia, believing it would be prudent
Laura was awakened by the sound of her phone ringing, she stretched out her hand to pink it up when another hand took, she opened her eyes and saw her son standing there. âXavierâŠson?â she murmured, rubbing her eyes as she sat up. Xavier, who had seen it was his father calling, answered the call and put it on loudspeaker. âLaura my love.â Enzo's voice sounded, full of confidence and arrogance. Xavier gestured at his mother to speak. âEnzo, why did you call?â âI just want to hear my wife's voice, is that wrong?â âEnzo, are you for real? We've been divorced for eight months, you call me now to speak such nonsense.â Laura said angrily, she can't believe the nerve of this man. What did she even see in him? Such a total jerk. âWe're divorced, but I want you back as my wife.â Enzo said loudly, and Laura scoffed as she replied, âDream on. We were through the moment you put your signature on the divorce papers without batting an eye!â Laura burst out, and just then Alfonso entered her
Big apologies to my lovelies for not updating for almost two weeks now. So this is what happened.My star (mother) paid me a surprise visit. Remember I told you guys I was going through depression and writer's block? So my home was in a mess when my star arrived.She's a clean freak and got to work immediately, but I couldn't let her do that...I usually order food, but with her around, I had to visit the kitchen three times daily to prepare her meals. I was happy she came because it's been months since I last saw her. My mom is my best friend and sister.

She left three days ago, but I wasn't able to update because I realized in my haste to complete the book, I skipped Natalie's story.So I have incorporated her story, and we are good to go.Huge thanks to everyone who read my book, supported it, and left comments
One week later⊠Reina, so far, was truly enjoying her honeymoon, having Xavier all to herself. There was no work and no familyâjust the two of them. And Xavier, he had been the perfect gentleman; he carried the bags whenever they went shopping, he personally fetched her dishes from the counter all the times they dined out, and even gave her massages, even after she had visited the spa. And their lovemaking sessions were on another levelâwild, passionate, and intense. When Reina woke up today, Xavier told her that he wanted to take her on an adventure. They ended up flying to a secluded island, which Reina later discovered Xavier had purchased just for her. On the island, at shore, the two made love, naked in the white sand for hours, going for a swim after each passionate and wild round. At times, Reina felt so weak in her legs she couldn't move, so Xavier would carry her. He would carry her deep into the ocean, where the waves danced playfully around them. They swam t
âDear beloved, we are gathered here today to witness and celebrate the union of Xavier and Reina in holy matrimony. Marriage is a sacred bond, a union created by God, which should be entered into reverently, thoughtfully, and with a deep sense of commitment.

The doors opened, and everyone went quiet as their eyes filled with admiration fixated on the man of the moment, dressed in an all-black three-piece suit as he stepped inside. His tall and muscular frame dominated the space, making him exude a powerful and dangerous aura as he walked down the aisle. Each of his powerful strides resonated with confidence as he made his way toward the end of the aisle. The light caught the contours of his physique, accentuating the strength in his shoulders and the determination in his gait, drawing the attention of everyone. Xavier stood at the altar, constantly fixing his suit, a way to conceal his nervousness as his emerald green eyes filled with different kinds of emotions fixed at the entrance as. He awaited the arrival of his bride-to-be. ~ A few minutes later, the white Rolls Royce Reina was riding inside came to a stop. She smiled when she saw the happy faces of the people standing outside in front of the reporters. Her aunt, Olga, Laura

Even though her words said otherwise, the gleam in her eyes betrayed her excitement.âI understand; my woman is always right.â Xavier said hoarsely and placed a lingering kiss on Reina's lips. He was fucking hard; it hurts.But he was also aware of the beast he was last night.âReina deserves a break.âXavier at the thought made to get off Reina, but she wrapped her hands around his neck, seizing him as she exclaimed shyly.âI didn't tell you to stop; I only told you I'm sore!âXavier's lips curled into a cocky smirk as he fixed his dark eyes filled with lust and desire on Reina's face so intensely; she felt uneasy.âWhat? Even if I had said no, you should know a woman would say no to you, but in fact, she means yes!â Reina yelled and smacked Xavier on the shoulder when he kept grinning at her as she spoke.âThat's my girl. So now can I make love to
"Do I know you?" Natalie asked, looking at Catalina's face with a confused expression, and Catalina frowned. "What? Natalie, I'm your mother. Those people have killed your brother; we have to make them pay!" Catalina said angrily, a malicious expression on her face, and Natalie shook her head in disbelief. "You will never change, right? Brother is dead because of you! You never taught him right from wrong. Since you were always jealous of your older sister, you raised brother with that jealousy! You corrupted his mind! And he grew up with that envy in his heart. You killed brother! You're a murderer! Get out of my sight; I don't want to see you ever again! I don't know you!" Natalie cried. "Natalie, don't forget I'm the only family you have left! Those people will never accept you." Catalina said arrogantly with a sneer. "If they don't accept her, I will." Vincenzo finally spoke, and Catalina turned to look at him. She scoffed and demanded, "What can a lowlife like you possibly of
Carlotta blinked, her head spinning as she tried to make out their current situation. That is when she realized she and Natalie were squeezed together. Nalatie's head hung low as blood dripped down her face, falling onto her face. Carlotta panicked when she realized she was at a disadvantage. She was below Natalie, and her side of the door was pressed to the ground. But she tried to salvage the predicament. Just then the car moved, and she heard Emilio's urgent voice. Was she delirious, or had her knight in shining armor really arrived? âEmilioâŠ? Is⊠Is that you?â Carlotta inquired, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. âWhat, Carlotta? How are you in this car?â Emilio asked, hearing Carlotta's teary voice, but mentally smacked himself and said hurriedly, âDon't worry, la mia regina, we'll get you out of there soon.â Emilio knew they had just a little time before the car exploded. Carlotta was the one who healed his heart after his wife died; he loved her so much and couldn'

After waiting for what felt like an eternity, the man standing guard went to use the washroom.Yolanda hurriedly walked over and opened the door and entered, but what met her wasn't what she expected.Reina, pointing a pistol at the door, stood there, like the corpse bride, ready to go through hell to fight for her human groom. Her expression was fierce and deadly, with a touch of creepiness.âGâgunâŠâ Yolanda stammered with her eyes bulging out, and the corner of Reina's lips twitched.âYes. And what's the knife for, Yolanda? It seems you'll never learn. So let me put you out of your misery.ââNoâno! I don't want⊠to die. Stayâstay away. Don't comeâŠâ Yolanda exclaimed, holding her knife out when Reina started walking tow
Andre had just sat in his car when he got news of Xavier's arrival at the church. He angrily smashed his phone and got out of the car. âThat bastard, why the hell didn't he come to find me? But he sent that dog of his to come!â he screamed, punching his men angrily, like a lunatic. After an intense rampage, Andre finally calmed down and walked back inside, instructing his men to get ready for battle. He had already planted men on the way to intercept Xavier on his way here, but with Alfonso coming, he has changed his plans. Andre took out his phone to call his men and instructed them to go and intercept Reina on her way to the church instead when his phone dinged with a message. After he finished reading the message. A huge grin was plastered on his lips. âThe queen is coming here on her own. And Alfonso, that dog went back to save his woman.â Andre said, as he chuckled loudly, he didn't know his men were so capable, handling things perfectly without his instructions. Now Reina
Natalie shifted uneasily in her seat as she planned her next move; just then a thought came to her mind when she saw the pharmacy ahead.âStop the car over there,â she instructed.âMadam, are you feeling unwell? We can send you to the hospital.â The bodyguard sitting in the passenger's seat, Vincenzo said politely.âI'm fine. I just need to use the bathroom urgently.â Natalie said, clutching her stomach with a pained expression. âPlease, quickly,â she added as she stole a secret peek at Vincenzo âs face.âHurry and stop for the lady,â Vincenzo instructed the chauffeur worriedly.~Vincenzo followed Natalie to the washroom door, and Natalie turned to look at him and asked,âWhy are you following me?ââMadam, the boss instructed me not to leave your side,â he replied, and Natalie nodded in understanding and said,âI understand, but who would help me get a sanitary pad?ââI beg your pardon?â Vincenzo asked, his cheeks heating up.
