Reina

The day had finally come.

I had been able to get the contracts from Leonard and I was glad that I was given the chance for this project.

At first, I thought that this might not work because Leonard didn't message me for some time.

But, here we are, starting the big project I had been contacted for. The gala fashion event.

It was not just going to be huge, it was huge and honestly, I was both excited and nervous about it all.

Was I going to do my best?

This was my chance to prove myself in this new city, to show everyone that I could handle something this massive.

Luckily for me, I met a few people who had seen my work and they trusted me and gave me a thumbs up.

I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting my outfit for the day.

I went for something professional but stylish. As a fashion designer, I needed to look beautiful too, right?

My dress was a black fitted dress. I added some little bits of my design but I made sure that it was not too flashy.

I wanted to look rea

    EthanI sat in the living room, staring at the huge television without really watching it. The sound was on, but I could not focus on what they were saying or acting. At first, I thought watching the television would take my mind off so many things but I was wrong. My mind was elsewhere. Mostly on Reina and that project she had started today. Part of me was happy for her, proud even, but another part… I could not shake this weird feeling in my gut.I knew that I was jealous about her interacting with a man when she just came over here. But, I doubt if I was overreacting I tried to remind myself that this was a big opportunity for her. She had worked hard, and I should be supporting her fully. But the conversation we had had about Leonard kept replaying in my head. I was not sure if I was just overthinking things or if there was something more to it.I picked up my phone and scrolled through my messages, wondering if she had texted me. Nothing yet. She must still be working, I

    ReinaThe next morning, I walked into the studio with my red heels clicking softly on the polished floors. The sun was shining brightly through the tall windows, casting a golden light across the workspace just like it always did. Everything seemed normal. I smiled at the assistants running around, making last-minute preparations for the day. We had a very busy schedule today. A lot of things had to be done. Fittings, choice of fabric and finalizing the designs for the upcoming gala.“Good morning, everyone!” I called out and I waved at all of them as I passed by.“Morning, Reina!” a few of them responded. They sounded really exhausted even though they felt excited about the big day. I placed my bag down on my desk, settling into my chair, when one of the junior designers, Kat, hurried over. She looked flustered, her face slightly pale, and I immediately sensed something was wrong.“Reina, we have a problem,” she said and her voice was a little shaky.I frowned, standing right up

    Ethan“Well, well, well,” I said to myself as I treated my hungry stomach to some french toast and some juice. I could not get the image of Reina walking out of the house every morning out of my head.I knew she was excited about this new project. I had a lot of work to do than to worry too much about them. Everytime I texted her, she always replied that she was busy. It sounded suspicious that I thought I might just go to her workplace unannounced to find out what is really happening. I sat on the couch, trying to focus on the soap opera playing on the television. I tried to keep up with it since I didn't have anything to do at the moment . Andrew was already back from school and as usual, he was playing with his toys on the floor. “Hey, buddy,” I called out to him, needing a distraction. The soap opera was not enough for me and I was not quite enjoying the show. “You want to go outside for a bit?”Andrew looked up, his face lighting up with excitement. “Yes, Dad! Can we go t

    ReinaI was excited that I ended my day with hot sex with Ethan. He fucked me like he was trying to remind me that I was still his. The next morning started really smoothly unlike other days. Maybe the sex was what did the magic. There was no heaviness in the air between Ethan and me. We didn't talk last night so I didn't feel weird. Although, I knew that he wanted us to talk but he was tired of having a conversation about Leonard. That was the last thing I would be doing. Yes, I understood his concerns, but I also felt like he did not trust me as much as he said he did. I had been working hard on this project, and the last thing I needed was doubt creeping in from home.It was crazy. It was really a crazy thing to do. I wish I could blame him but I could not. He was human after all and a man for that. I sat at the dining table, sipping my coffee slowly, waiting for Ethan to come down. I had an early meeting with Leonard and his team today to finalize some design choices fo

    ReinaThere was one thing I loved in this world, and that was when things went as planned. The night of the gala had finally arrived, and it was a success. A huge success. I owe that to Leonard because that man put a lot of work into it, and I was glad I was part of this project. As usual, the guests were dressed in their finest, the models were stunning, and the runway show went off without difficulty. Everything went so smoothly. I could cry. People were laughing, chatting, and sipping champagne everywhere I looked. The air was filled with excitement, and the spectators were so satisfied with what they had seen. I could not believe I had pulled it off.It felt really good. As I stood by the bar, watching the final few models walk the runway, I allowed myself to breathe for the first time that night. All the stress, all the sleepless nights, had been worth it. I wanted to throw a party and celebrate my sucess. My bank account was also smiling. Everybody won. The designs wer

    EthanI sat in the living room, staring at my phone, waiting for Reina to text me back. She hadn’t replied to my earlier message about how the gala was going, and I was getting uneasy. I knew how important this night was for her, and I wanted to share in her joy or her disappointment. Whichever way the gala went. I really wished she fed me with the gists about the gala but she didn't. A small part of me could not shake the feeling that something was off. Maybe I was just thinking too much as usual. After all, she had worked so hard for this.Andrew was already asleep, snuggled up in his bed with his body wrapped in blankets. He had a long day at school. I won't lie. After his sleep, he would be up again, devouring his book. It's not easy being a student who wants to get good grades. I got up and paced the room, trying to shake off the restless energy that I had in me. The house was too quiet without Reina.It didn’t feel right. My thoughts wandered back to her at the gala, s

    Reina I laid in bed, staring at the ceiling, trying to calm the storm of raging emotions swirling inside me. I could still remember my argument with Ethan and I felt bad. I could not stop myself from feeling this terrible. I hated it when we fought, and even though I understood why he was upset, I could not help but feel frustrated myself.The gala had been a huge success, and instead of celebrating it together, we were at loggerheads because of Leonard.Isn't that crazy? I thought I would come back, opening bottles of wine go celebrate my win but that was not the case. I sighed out loud and rolled over on the bed, pulling the blanket up to my chin, but sleep was not coming.My eyes were still wide open and even though I was tired, sleep was far from me. It was the last thing on my mind. My mind kept replaying the events of the night, Leonard’s advances towards me, his charming words. I had not wanted to make a scene or embarrass him, but thinking about it again, maybe I should

    Reina The meeting with Leonard went as smoothly as I could have hoped. I was stricter this time, clear, and kept it strictly professional.There were no mixed signals, no awkward pauses. We analysed the success of the just conclude Gala's fashion project, exchanged a few pleasantries, and went our separate ways.Or at least, that’s what I thought.A week had passed since the gala, and I had not heard much from Leonard. I thought maybe he had taken the hint when I told him I was married. I didn’t expect him to reach out again, especially since our work together was done.We were not meant to cross paths again unless if we are working together again which I doubt might happen soon. But then, my phone buzzed.I glanced at the screen while working on a new design for a different client. It was Leonard.Leonard? Seriously? Again!“Hope you’re doing well. I was glad that I saw your beautiful face today. Just wanted to see how you are settling in. Dinner? You don't have to turn be down

    ReinaThe house was silent, save for the occasional ticking of the clock on the living room wall. Ethan had once again left without a word, and it was already past midnight. My heart ached, and the silence felt suffocating. I could not sit still anymore. My mind was racing with every worst-case scenario. Where was he? Who was he with?Celia’s words echoed in my head. “If he can stay out all night, why can’t you? You need to breathe too, Reina. Come with me. Let’s go out, let loose. Maybe seeing you have fun will remind him what he is losing.”“I can't believe he is doing this to me. Celia. He is acting all tough and hard towards me. I hate that he is making me feel this way,” I complained.“Look, Reina. If I were you, I wouldn't bother myself about him anymore. He is not a serious man. How can a man who has a child behave that way? Are you sure he is not sleeping around with different women?” She asked and my heart kept pounding against my chest. “He has cheated on me before, Celi

    ReinaI don't understand love.At the beginning, it makes you feel all good as if that was the only thing that mattered at some point. It makes you feel like you don't want it to end but then, when everything goes wrong. Your world comes crashing down.Was this how mine was going to be for the rest of my life? I know that I was still as attractive as hell but would I be able to find a man who would get married to me at this age?I might find a good number that would satisfy me in bed and make me a baby mama but I doubt if any of them would want to get married to me. I sighed loudly as the clock ticked endlessly. Each passing second felt like a hammer to my chest. Ethan had been gone for three days. Three days of unanswered calls, ignored texts, and sleepless nights. I could not focus on anything else. Not work, not Andrew, not anything. The house felt empty without him. It was cold and lifeless.Tonight, though, something felt different. There was tension in the air. It was a diff

    ReinaThat was a big flop. Ethan just told me all of that to make me feel better, I guess. It looked like forgiveness was far from him at this point. I stared at my reflection in the mirror, searching for the woman Ethan once loved.I looked the same, but everything felt different. The cracks in my marriage were now wide, and no matter how hard I tried to patch them, they just kept spreading.I had no idea what to do. My marriage since day one has not been all rosey. Now, it was worse. Were there not women having it good in their marriages? Why was mine different?I pressed my palms against the table, taking a shaky breath. This could not be the end. I would not let it be. I was not going to lose my family because of a silly mistake. I heard Ethan’s footsteps downstairs. The sound of his footsteps on the floor was heavy and loud and it felt like he did it deliberately. Every time he moved around the house, I felt the tension in the air. It was thick and suffocating. He had been di

    ReinaI had made terrible decisions in my entire life on earth and this is definitely one of them. I paced back and forth in the living room with my hands trembling. The weight of what I had done pressed heavily on my chest. Ehan’s words from earlier echoed in my head: "You made your choice, Reina." His voice was cold and broken. I had never seen him like that, never felt this level of dread.I was feeling this guilty even though I thought I was repaying him back in his own coin. I mean, he cheated on me. The pictures were sent to me. Everyone knows that I am a wife to a cheat and he came in here and acted normal. I sank onto the couch, burying my face in my hands. How did it get this far? I knew I had crossed a line, but at the time, I justified it as harmless. It was not like I was having an affair, at least not in the traditional sense. But now, looking back, I knew better. Emotional infidelity was just as damaging. Maybe worse. My phone buzzed on the table. I hesitated, afr

    Ethan’s POVI sat in the car for a long time, just staring at the dashboard. My knuckles were white from gripping the steering wheel too hard, and my chest felt tight, like I could not catch my breath. My phone buzzed again on the passenger seat, but I couldn’t bring myself to look at it. Not now.I already knew what I would see.I was heartbroken from seeing those messages. I could still hear her voice in my head, laughing at something I didn’t understand.I thought I was going crazy when I first noticed how much she smiled at her phone. How often she stepped out of the room to take calls. I brushed it off, told myself I was just thinking too much. But then I saw them.They are being Flirtatious, playful, and secretive. Words that used to be ours, now shared with someone else. And the worst part? It wasn’t just any man.It was Chris.Chris, a man who she told me started to work with her in the office. Chris, who had just been around her for a few months. Now, suddenly he has beco

    Reina’s POVAfter we had gone through the most difficult phrase in life, I was beginning to feel normal again and here is the secret. I had met Chris. I didn’t mean for this to happen. It was not supposed to go beyond the occasional text, a little harmless conversation to get me through the day. But somewhere along the line, it changed. It was the way Chris listened, really listened to me. Not just nodding absentmindedly while scrolling through his phone or waiting for his turn to speak. He heard every word, every sigh that I made And he remembered them. Ethan used to be like that, once. Before the late nights, the business deals, the stupid quarrels we had created and the endless distance between us. I tried to pretend it didn’t bother me, but deep down, I was starving for attention. For someone to see me again.And I was trying to play the good woman here but he went outside to cheat on me. He may think I have forgotten, but I haven't. I'm going to have my revenge.And guess w

    Reina's POVI sat on the edge of the couch, the recording playing in my hands for the tenth time. Leonard’s voice could be heard loudly through the speakers, it was smug and unapologetic and each word was just like a dagger.Ethan was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed tightly and his teeth sinking into his lips. He had decided to honor my request and he was back home, finally. I hated the tension between us. It was unbearable. We had not spoken more than a few words since he had come over after my call. Even now, his silence was deafening, and his gaze burned into me every time I hit replay.“We have everything we need,” I said finally, breaking the silence and my voice sounded weak because of how exhausted I was.Ethan let out a sharp breath, running his hand through his hair. “Do we?” His tone was cold, distant. “Leonard is smart. He will find a way to twist this, just like he twisted everything else.”“And what do you suggest we do? Sit here and let him ruin our l

    Reina's POVThe headline on every phone screamed louder than the voice inside my head. “Popular billionaire Couple had been Torn Apart. Mrs. Reina Moves Out Amid Cheating Scandal.” The accompanying photos were me walking out of our home with sunglasses hiding my swollen eyes, and Ethan looking disheveled as he left his office. This had gone viral within hours.I slammed my laptop shut and buried my face in my hands. The walls of the hotel room felt suffocating, even though it was one of the nicest in the city. It was ironic how luxurious surroundings did nothing to dull the ache in my chest.The ring on my finger caught the dim light, as if mocking me. I had never taken it off, not even during the worst fights, but now it felt like I should pull it off and throw it in the bin. “Mrs. Reina, the car is ready,” the voice of the hotel concierge crackled through the phone.I sighed. “I will be right down. Give me some minutes. ”Work was supposed to be my escape. It was a way for me

    Reina Again, our meeting ended in a deadlock. I was slowly giving up on what was happening in my life. Since I could not get Leonard to change his mind towards me and Ethan, I might as well wait for him to pounce on me like a thief.If he needed me so badly in his life, he might prefer to dance with my corpse. I was in the middle of sorting fabric samples in my home office when my phone buzzed on the desk. The persistent vibration told me it was not just a regular notification. Nowadays, I have been getting a lot of calls and notifications from random people that hearing my phone buzz or ring gave me anxiety. Hesitantly, I picked it up and saw dozens of missed calls and texts. My heart sank as I opened the first message from an unknown number. "Saw the photos. So much for loyalty, huh?"This unknown number has sworn never to let me be. I anticipated the next thing that he had to tell me even though it hurts me. Photos? My pulse quickened. I tapped on a link someone had sent, a
