A few minutes later, Reina arrived at Lucas's suite. Seeing the bodyguards at the door, she realized why the man had been able to enter their suite; Lucas had left with them. The bodyguards acknowledged her arrival with, “Madam.” Reina let out a forceful smile as one of them opened the door for her. On entering, she saw Lucas walking out of the bedroom in a white shirt tucked into his signature cream trouser. But his expression switched when he saw her. “Mi amor,” Reina said, stopping in front of him. “What are you doing here?” Lucas asked, his voice cold and dismissive as he turned to walk away, but Reina’s fingers wrapped around his wrist, her grip firm yet pleading. “My love,” she began, her voice quivering with emotion. “I came to see you. Why did you move into a new place? Why didn’t you come back to our suite? I was waiting for you.” As Reina spoke, the hope in her eyes gleamed like fragile glass, ready to break with any harsh word. At her words, Lucas smirked, a bitte
As the video played out in front of her, a wave of disbelief washed over Reina. Tears kept falling down her cheeks as she sat on the edge of the sofa, the flickering light from the screen casting shadows across her anguished face. She could hardly fathom the reality of what she was witnessing. She never would have believed it if someone had told her. For the four years she had been married to Lucas, she had never taken control in their intimate moments, to mention riding a man’s dick; she didn't even know she could do it. But now, there it was—evidence. Lucas had often expressed his frustrations about her lack of enthusiasm in their intimacy, yet there she was... Feeling utterly devastated by a betrayal she hadn’t even known she was capable of. Her finger trembled as she pressed the delete button. Erasing the video. She turned to face Lucas and handed the phone back to him, desperation etched in her features. “Lucas, please believe me,” she pleaded urgently, her voice cracking wit
Reina's eyes shot open, her heart racing as she sat up, drenched in her own sweat. She was having a recurring dream where she was breastfeeding a newborn baby with piercing green eyes staring back at her as he sucked on her nipple. His piercing green eyes locked onto hers with an intensity that made her heart swell with love. He latched onto her breast, warmth radiating between them, a bond so tender it felt real—until it was shattered. Out of nowhere, a woman in a flowing black dress whose face she couldn't make out due to the flimsy black veil on her head came and seized the baby from her, yanking him away with a swift, ruthless motion. Panic surged through Reina as she sprang to her feet, her body fueled by an instinct as she lunged toward the woman to reclaim her baby. Yet, as if trapped in an invisible web, the distance between them stretched impossibly far, each step she took forward, as the room echoed with the heart-wrenching cries of her baby, a sound that pierced through t
After giving Xavier the needed medication, Dr. Emiliano walked out of the penthouse and found Alfonso leaning against the wall with a cigarette in his fingers. He took it to his lips, taking a drag, and blew smoke rings into the air. “Little brother,” Dr. Emiliano purposely called, knowing how his brother hated being called that. Alfonso turned to him and grinned and asked with a raised brow. “I can see you have a death wish?” “No, it's you who has a death wish. I don't know what happened with Xavier, but he gave his life before, and he would again if he had to, so long as she was happy. You of all people know how far he would go for her, even if he has to…” Emiliano sighed, not saying what he wanted to say, and patted his brother on the shoulder and said, "Mum misses you; come and see her one of these days.” Alfonso gave a slow nod, his eyes following Emiliano as he strolled away, heading toward the elevator door, which opened to reveal Yolanda, holding his little Warrior by
The moment Reina walked into Xavier, everyone in the reception area gasped. The atmosphere shifted with an unspoken tension as every gaze turned toward her, wide with a mixture of awe and concern. Whispers erupt through the crowd, rising in anxious murmurs, each one laced with the knowledge of Xavier's notorious reputation—his ruthless treatment of women who intentionally dared to throw themselves at him. Just then, Xavier’s voice sliced through the chatter, cold and commanding, resonating with a chilling authority that silenced the room in an instant. “Where do you think you’re going with that?” A dark, icy voice asked above Reina's head, sending bolts of shivers down her spine and an unexpected throbbing down her lower region; her legs turned jelly. Getting hold of herself, Reina pulled away and looked up, only to be lost in the mesmerizing greens. Reina blinked, and without a word turned to walk away, but a firm grip on her arm pulled her back. Reina looked up at Xavier's face wi
The meeting with the board members had taken longer than expected. It turned out one of the reporters had managed to release a video of him with Reina. Although his face did not appear in the footage, Reina's was visible. How her eyes widened the moment the camera focused on her. As Xavier replayed the video on his laptop for what felt like the hundredth time, a sense of unrest settled within him. He doesn't know why, but for some reason, something about Reina's reaction in the video struck him as someone who had endured a great deal of pain. He found himself watching the video again, completely losing focus on the meeting. Meanwhile, the meeting continued to drag, the room filled with murmurings about the hotel’s looming crisis. The hotel’s clients had raised vehement concerns over privacy violations and are demanding for the situation to be addressed by the hotel management to be rest assured incidents as such wouldn't repeat. Xavier glanced at the watch strapped to his wrist, i
“I-I heard it from... I don’t know!” Reina shouted, her voice trembling as she struggled beneath Xavier, the weight of his presence pinning her down. Desperation flickered in her gaze, searching for a glimmer of understanding amid the chaos. Frustration boiled over in Xavier at her answer, his voice low and dangerous as he growled. “Why would you claim to be my wife?!” His fist punched the pillow just inches from Reina’s head in a fit of rage. The air crackled with tension as Reina’s eyes widened in shock. A gasp escaped her lips as tears pooled in her bright gaze, the hurt, fear, and confusion evident in her expression. “I'm sorry! I’m not your wife. Please, don’t hurt me…” Reina whispered, her voice and body trembling with fear as tears streamed down her temples, glistening in the dim light. “I’m sorry, Micetta, I didn’t mean to lose it,” Xavier said, his brow furrowed with guilt. He gently cupped her cheek, his touch both tender and conflicted. He leaned in, hoping to share a
After Reina left, Xavier, with bloodshot eyes, watched from his phone, his heart racing as Reina walked into the elevator, not turning to look back once. It was clear how desperately she wanted to escape his presence; she didn't even ponder his words for just a second when she ran off. “Boss, it started to rain a few minutes ago? Shouldn't we stop her?” Alfonso blurted out, but his words died in his throat under the weight of Xavier’s seething glare. Xavier swiftly switched to the footage inside the elevator.Through the video, he saw Reina lash out in frustration, kicking the cold, metallic wall with a force that left her wincing in pain. She passed her hands over her hair and bent down, hugging her knees. She cradled her head in her hands, fingertips tugging through her hair in exasperation, before bending down to wrap her arms around her knees. In that moment, she appeared small and vulnerable, a contrast to the fierce spirit he had come to know.Inside the elevator, Reina began t
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, and

Even though her words said otherwise, the gleam in her eyes betrayed her excitement.“I understand; my woman is always right.” 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.‘Reina deserves a break.’Xavier at the thought made to get off Reina, but she wrapped her hands around his neck, seizing him as she exclaimed shyly.“I didn't tell you to stop; I only told you I'm sore!”Xavier'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.“What? Even if I had said no, you should know a woman would say no to you, but in fact, she means yes!” Reina yelled and smacked Xavier on the shoulder when he kept grinning at her as she spoke.“That'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 offer
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? “Emilio…? Is… Is that you?” Carlotta inquired, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. “What, Carlotta? How are you in this car?” Emilio asked, hearing Carlotta's teary voice, but mentally smacked himself and said hurriedly, “Don't worry, la mia regina, we'll get you out of there soon.” 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.“G—gun…” Yolanda stammered with her eyes bulging out, and the corner of Reina's lips twitched.“Yes. And what's the knife for, Yolanda? It seems you'll never learn. So let me put you out of your misery.”“No—no! I don't want… to die. Stay—stay away. Don't come…” 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.“That bastard, why the hell didn't he come to find me? But he sent that dog of his to come!” 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.

And Alfonso, that dog went back to save his woman.” Andre said, as he chuckled loudly, he didn't know his men were so capable, handling things perfectly without his instructions.Now Reina was c
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.“Stop the car over there,” she instructed.“Madam, are you feeling unwell? We can send you to the hospital.” The bodyguard sitting in the passenger's seat, Vincenzo said politely.“I'm fine. I just need to use the bathroom urgently.” Natalie said, clutching her stomach with a pained expression. “Please, quickly,” she added as she stole a secret peek at Vincenzo ’s face.“Hurry and stop for the lady,” Vincenzo instructed the chauffeur worriedly.~Vincenzo followed Natalie to the washroom door, and Natalie turned to look at him and asked,“Why are you following me?”“Madam, the boss instructed me not to leave your side,” he replied, and Natalie nodded in understanding and said,“I understand, but who would help me get a sanitary pad?”“I beg your pardon?” Vincenzo asked, his cheeks heating up. To hear the woman he had been in love with for so long say
Yolanda stood at the corner, looking at Andre being so caring toward Natalie, and her heart ached.Basically, she's the only one Andre wasn't loving toward. He loved his mother, sister, and even Reina, the woman he had wanted her to kill sometime ago, but he never loved her.Yolanda was at a loss of what to do. Did she make a mistake aborting her baby with Andre?Now Andre doesn't spare her even a glance. Since she returned, all of Andre's thoughts had been on how to claim Reina!That vixen!The bane of her existence!Three months ago, after she left Xavier's mansion, Yolanda returned home to the news of her grandfather's demise.

~~~Next day.“Mummy!” Alexandre called out the moment he stepped out of the plane and saw his mother.“My baby!” Reina cried, meeting Warrior halfway and pulling him into a hug. “I've missed you so much, Mummy,” he declared, hugging his mom back.“Mummy has missed you more. How was your camping?” Reina asked, cupping his cheek lovingly as she examined his face.“It was great. I also made some new friends.” Warrior replied, grinning, and Reina smiled back and said,“That's great. Let's go home; Mummy has prepared all your favorite foods.”“Wow, thank you, Mom,” Warrior exclaimed, and Reina gently ruffled his hair and declared softly,“Anything for my baby.”A week later…Xavier, dressed handsomely in a cream suit over black pants, was having a conversation with Alfonso in his study when his phone rang with an unknown caller ID.He answered, and Andre's voice came through.“Cousin, long time.”“Andre, you're still alive?” Xavier asked bluntly. “Tell me why you call; I don’t have time
