Reinaâs heavy eyelids fluttered at the soothing sound of a womanâs voice drifting through her haze. The gentle touch of a hand brushing her hair and tenderly caressing her face felt like home after a long and rough day. For a fleeting moment, a thought flashed in her mind: âWas she dead?â because the touch was the same gentle touch of her mother that used to soothe her during restless nights and her soft voice. âI'm sorry, mi querida,â Carlotta murmured, her voice laced with heartfelt sorrow. âYou have been through so much, carrying the weight of your parentsâ death all by yourself. TĂa is deeply sorryâtruly sorry for abandoning you, my brother.â Carlotta said, as she leaned in closer, her intentions filled with affection, she was about to place a kiss on Reinaâs forehead, but the sudden creak of the door swinging open halted her movement. Xavier stepped into the room, the air thick with tension as Carlotta took in his appearance; her expression shifted as she demanded calmly, âWha
Lucas paused, momentarily at the soft whisper of his name brushing against his ears like a gentle breeze. Curiosity piqued, he turned to investigate the source of the sound. However, when he gazed in the direction the sound came from, his gaze fell upon the broad back of a figure dressed in a black hood, seemingly in an argument with a woman he couldn't see her face. Not seeing any familiar face, he shrugged slightly, dismissing whatever thought. Shaking off the sensation, he continued on his way toward the parking lot. He had visited the amusement park because it was where he and his parents visited when he was a kid. But he ended up recalling his time with Reina at an amusement park years back, how he took Reina's cotton candy and ate it all at once. He remembers how she hit him on the chest and ran away. He and the bodyguards had searched for her tirelessly until he found her in the photo booth; it turned out the long line outside was caused by Reina's refusal to exit the booth.
After breaking the hug, Xavier gently spun Reina around. He pressed a lingering wet kiss on her shoulder, sending a shiver coursing through Reina's body, leaving her momentarily breathless. Xavier gently slid the delicate straps of her dress off her shoulders and pushed it down her hips, allowing the fabric to fall down her figure, pooling around her feet. Reina wrapped her hands around her body, suddenly feeling cold from the air conditioning, goosebumps erupting on her body. Xavier, noticing that, swiftly scooped Reina up in his strong arms, and they both locked gazes as Reina circled her arms around his neck. On reaching the bathroom, Xavier stepped into the inviting warmth of the bathtub. He sat down with Reina in his arms, the water rippling gently around them. âIs the water temperature okay for you?â Xavier murmured softly into Reina's ear, his breath warm against her skin as they settled into the tranquil water. The gentle ripples lapped at them as she nestled comfortably ag
âIs it true?â Reina demanded, the moment she heard the door swing open behind her, her shoulders stiff with tension as she anticipated Xavier's answer. Xavier stopped behind her, his powerful presence overwhelming Reina's senses as he held her by the upper arms, his thumbs rubbing her shoulders soothingly as he said, âAmore mio, I'm sorry.â âWhy did you sleep with her?â Reina asked, turning to face him. However, instead of providing her answer, Xavier sighed, rubbing his hands together before passing it over his face and hair. Reina hit him angrily and said, her voice trembling with pain and betrayal, âOh, I know why, because you weren't satisfied after allâŠâ Xavier cradled her face and kissed her, her words getting swallowed by the kiss. Tears fell down Reina's face as she responded to the kiss. âI was drunk; I don't recall anything.â Xavier said huskily after they broke the kiss. He caressed Reina's face and kissed her on the forehead. âI love you. I know you don't want her here
A black Maybach came to a halt at the entrance of the Romano villa; inside, Natalie reached for her bag and asked, âAre you coming in? I can introduce you to my mother.â But Lucas shook his head and replied, âI don't want to run into your cousin. Maybe we can arrange a dinner, and then you introduce me to your mother.â Natalie smiled and took Lucas' hand and said, âMy cousin doesn't live here; he lives in the outskirts of town. So you can come in if you want to.â Lucas' interest piqued at the mention of Xavier's location. âWhy?â âCan I tell you a secret?â Natalie asked, leaning in when Lucas nodded and whispered into his ear, âMy cousin is a mafia. With the police constantly meddling in our family's underground businesses, um, our family has a safe house hidden in the mountains where the current head of the mafia and his family live till he retires.â Lucas' eyes widened at the revelation. âOh nice, I didn't know. So does that mean your cousin is living alone in that place? I bet
After Lucas left, he instructed his driver to send him to the firing range. He wanted to vent his anger after the revelation. He didn't care about all the hundreds of yeses ringing in his head that Reina was Xavier's wife; she's still his wife, and he will claim her back. Reina can only be his. He will kill Xavier if that's the only way to have her back.~Thirty minutes later, Lucas arrived at the firing range. And after signing the waiver, the safety officer guided Lucas to a box after preparing his weapons, a pistol, a rifle, a sniper, and other firearms, making a total of five guns on the table in front of him. He put on the protective ear gear and glasses and reached for the pistol and started shooting.Imagine the target as Xavier; the first shot went straight to the bold 'X' on the heart. A satisfying grin appearing on his face as he continued firing at the same spot till the bullets ran out and he took another weapon. He shot six times at the target head as he chanted the word
It was a few minutes past 6 pm when Lucas arrived at the location the private investigator gave him. He got out of the car and walked through the front lawn, and judging by how trimmed the grass of the lawn was, he realized there was someone accommodating the house. He climbed up the stairs, stepping onto the veranda, then pressed the doorbell. He had lifted his hand to press the bell once again when the knob turned. The door opened, and a middle-aged woman, Rosario, came into view. One look at Lucas' face that reminded her of her late sister, his gray eyes that were the exact color, she opened her mouth as the name, âLucas?â escape it. Lucas frowned as a whirlwind of thoughts swirled in his mind. âHow did the woman know who he was? Could it be that they knew where he was all this while but did not reach out to him?â Before Lucas could voice his thoughts, the woman said, âOh, my goodness, you are alive! I knew you didn't die. My boy,â she said, throwing her arms around Lucas, embra
Xavier sat Reina on the bed and went into the bathroom. He returned a few minutes later and gently pushed her down on the bed, her hair spread on the pillow, her cheeks crimson as she held his gaze. Xavier smiled at her softly, and Reina returned it nervously, her body trembling slightly. She was shy now that she thinks about it. Even though she had had sex with Xavier, imagining him looking at her so intimately made her nervous and excited with anticipation at the same time. Xavier, seeing her nervousness, began to gently caress her thighs. He spread her legs wide and knelt between her legs. "So beautiful," Xavier breathed, his breath caught inside his throat as his eyes fixed on Reina's red pussy calling out to him. Reina, feeling bare and exposed, tried to clamp her legs shut, but Xavier's grip on her inner thighs, gentle but firm, held her in place. âDon't move; allow me to relieve you,â Xavier said, bending over and placing a lingering wet kiss on her closed pussylips, inhal
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. Each of his powerful strides resonated with confidence as he made his way toward the end of 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.
