After helping Alexandre with his evening bath, Reina settled into the plush sofa as she lifted Alexandre onto her lap, his small frame nestling comfortably against her. With a warm smile, she reached for the book that lay on the table. She opened it; the familiar smell of paper and ink wafted up, and she began to read the story, her voice weaving through the words like a soothing lullaby in the cozy glow of the room. âOnce upon a time, there lived a pig mummy and her three little pigs. One day, when the little pigs were hungry, their Mummy pig went into the kitchen to prepare their meal, but she found there was no food; she checked her wallet, and all her money was gone too.â âOh, noâŠâ Alexandre said, and Reina smiled and continued. âNot knowing what to do, Mummy Pig told the three little pigs they were old enough, so she sent them to go and begin their life. But told the three little pigs to be careful of the big bad wolf in the forest." At Reina's words, Alexandre snuggled into hi
âNo, I can't lose him! It would kill me,â Reina exclaimed, her heart racing as she jumped to her feet. Driven by a surge of determination, she dashed into her closet, her gaze landing on a delicate black lingerie set that caught her eye. With practiced haste, she slipped into the silky fabric, the soft material clinging to her skin. Grabbing a luxurious black satin robe, she wrapped it around herself, and after applying a light makeup to enhance her features, she took a deep breath and headed towards Xavierâs bedroom. As soon as she stepped into Xavier's dimly lit bedroom and the sound of water running in the shower caught her attention, then a naughty thought came to her mind. She felt a flutter of excitement mixed with dread as she took off her robe, standing confidently in just her lingerie, the fabric embracing her curves. With each step toward the bathroom, her heart pounded louder in her chest as anticipation built within her. But then, as she drew nearer, her heart dropped as
~~ One week later ~~ Lucas, who was turning and tossing on his enormous king-size bed, sat up and got off the bed. He walked into his closet, slipped on a shirt and made his way out of the bedroom. He walked down the dim corridor and stopped in front of a door, which he gently knocked on and said, âMi amor,â his fingers wrapping around the knob as he turned it, pushing the door open. Three days ago, he had returned from work, only to find out Bianca had moved out of their room. He went to her, insisting she return to their room, and they got into an intense argument. Since then he hadn't spoken to her; he gave her the cold shoulder even at dinner. He had been patiently waiting, but she hadn't tried to start a conversation with him either. Three days ago: On entering the guest room and finding Bianca seated on a sofa browsing through her phone, Lucas demanded, "What's the meaning of you moving out?" He burst out, anger lacing his tone, the words sharper than he intended. However
~~A week ago~~ Xavier's gaze lingered on Reina as she walked out of the door. With a heavy sigh, he reluctantly placed the telephone back on the receiver, his heart heavy with an unspoken burden. He rose from his seat, but a groan escaped his lips as pain shot through him. He reached for the phone once more and dialed Dr. Emiliano, requesting his assistance. A few moments later, a sharp knock echoed through the quiet room, followed by the distinct sound of the door creaking open. Dr. Emiliano stepped inside, his posture slightly hunched as he entered the dimly lit space. âYou reek of sex,â Xavier pointed out bluntly, eyeing Emiliano critically. Emiliano, caught off guard, scratched the back of his head as he halted a few feet in front of Xavier, who was seated on the sofa, dressed in a fitted black shirt and black sweatpants that showcased his muscular frame. âI apologize, boss,â Dr. Emiliano responded, his voice tinged with embarrassment as he averted his gaze to the floor. âI
âAlfonso! You will stop right now; it's an order, and you fucking know the punishment for defying my orders!!â Xavier yelled after Alfonso. Alfonso stopped and punched the wall angrily, his knuckles turning red, as tears fell out of his bloodshot eyes. âShe's pregnant; she's fucking pregnant for another man. For that bastard!â Alfonso spat furiously. âWho was it?â Xavier asked calmly on reaching Alfonso. âLucas Black.â âWhat?! When?â Xavier asked, his brows furrowed in confusion. âThe same night you went to the madam hotel suite to reclaim her,â Alfonso answered, âWhat? How on earth did they even meet?â Xavier said, passing a hand through his hair, and added, âWhat do you plan to do now? I don't want her having that bastard's child!â âI love her man, you know since when. But it's time I let her go.â Xavier squeezed Alfonso on the shoulder and said, âDo what you think is right; you have my support; just don't hurt her. I will kill you if you do.â Alfonso smirked and repli
It was a few minutes past 10 pm when Xavier arrived home; the bodyguards at the entrance opened the door, and he entered. âBoss,â Dr. Emiliano, seated in the living room, greeted Xavier as he walked in. Xavier loosened his tie as he made his way up the stairs with Dr. Emiliano following him. Soon they arrived at Alexandre's door, and Xavier gently pushed the door open; however, the sight that met him was something he had been longing for for a long time. He quietly entered the room and approached the plush sofa ahead. âAmore mio,â he said, as he softly tucked the hairs in Reina's face behind her ear; a soft smile tugged at the corner of his lips. He took the book in Reina's hand and placed it on the table and gently removed her hand around Alexandre as he began to lift Alexandre from her arms, but he was surprised when Reina's eyes shot open as she protectively secured her arms around Alexandre, pulling him back. âIt's me. I want to put him to sleep,â Xavier said softly, and Reina
âXavier, my friend, if you're watching this, it means you woke up. Lucky bastard, I'm glad I won't be seeing you soon, since I'm already in hell. My wife and little princess, I don't want them to know I'm gone. I know you are smart, and you would come up with a way. Give her this box,â Nikolai said, and Alfonso, who was seated next to Nikolai's bed, waved the box he was holding, âGive it to her when my little princess turns 15. I've explained everything to them; till then, take my place. I..." Nikolai began, but blood started coming out of his mouth, and the rhythmic beep of the heart monitor filled the room, its persistent sounds breaking the tense silence as the machine recorded every heartbeat. Alfonso stood up just as Dr. Emiliano and other men in lab coats rushed to Nikolai's bed, and the video ended. Tears stung Xavier's eyes as he muttered, âThank you, buddy, may you rest in peace. I will take good care of your family.â End of flashback. ~âȘ°âąââąÂ°âȘ~ Presently: The clock had
Nikolai's eyes shot open at the feeling of a finger tracing the scars on his chest. âNadia?â he said when he opened his eyes and was met with Nadia's piercing ones looking down at him.âDid you have a bad dream, my love?â Nadia asked, her brow furrowed with concern as she observed her husbandâs tense posture. The look in his eyes suggested a turmoil that left her heart heavy; it was as if he hadnât expected to find her there beside him. A surge of emotionsâpain, anger, and jealousyâflooded her mind at the unsettling thought that he might have been anticipating someone elseâs presence, perhaps that of his lover?Nikolai sat up abruptly, his heart pounding in his chest as the hazy remnants of the previous nightâs memories rushed back to him. âFuck, this wasn't happening,â he cursed silently, shaking his head as he swung his legs over the edge of the bed, getting off, and headed toward the bathroom. But just as he did, he felt a soft hand encircle his waist from behind, pulling him back
One week laterâŠReina, 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 together with

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.

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 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? 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.

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 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.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.
