Reina's POV

All of Richard's behavior was suspicious, the sudden change when he had asked me to go to bed was what exactly had prompted me not to. I wanted to know where exactly it was that he intended to go, and color me when I saw him ditch the stick to the side before walking out so well.

I had almost let out a chuckle and had intended to give him a piece of my mind when he stomped off and something ticked off within me that he was going somewhere. I had followed him carefully, and it led me here, where it seemed they were about to open a can of worms with dirty secrets which I didn't know inside of it.

My heart leaped when I flashed back to the fact that Jackson had visited Richard while he was still in the hospital, and now…

My eyes penetrated him and all I wanted right now was for him to drop dead. “ You intended to kill him, didn't you?”

Richard's face held a shocked expression as he was trying to come to terms with what exactly it was that I meant. “ What are you talking abo

  • Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back    Not a fool

    Ryan's POV “Am I doing too much?” I questioned Richard who stood by my side. I had on a sea green suit and a blue lapel which was to match with the gown she had on, but she wasn't here yet. I didn't know what to do, if I was going to cry, but I wanted to do this clear headed and without shedding a tear. It wouldn't make me masculine like I was supposed to be. She shouldn't see me tearing up. Richard stood by my side, in a peach suit to match Reina's own. “You doing too much would be you tearing up when she shows up to the aisle, please don't do that. You did before and it wasn't easy for me to stop you, don't make me do that again” he pleaded. I bore a hole in him at the words he had just spoken. He wasn't supposed to say that .He was still going to rub it over my face. “You did the same to me, remember?” he quizzed when he saw the look on my face. “So I don't really think I am doing anything wrong by telling you what I just did” I shook my head, not wanting to listen to him.

  • Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back    Happy ever after

    Nina’s POV “ You don't get it Reina” I hadn't known when exactly this had happened, but it was too much. I had given up on Christopher right now because I had no other option, but that was because my mum looked so happy with him. I knew he was young, well, too young if I am asked, but my mother being happy was everything to me and I wanted her to be. “ You both were going at it raw, what did you expect? A truckload of gifts?”Wait, what? “ I am almost in tears right now,” I explained. I just couldn't explain it, but I was really tearing up. She stood up, patting me on the back. “ It's the hormones, you are actually tearing up” “I am pregnant, just a month to our wedding and I don't know how to tell him, the wedding gown won't fit” “ The designer can always work on it, we can have her do that” “ But still, I am not ready for this. I don't know if I want this child, it is too much for me to bear right now, what exactly am I to do?” I questioned. I had to think about this. All t

  • Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back    Troubles

    Ryan's POV That name didn't ring a bell at all, why would somebody who wasn't affiliated to them do something like that? Or was it that we didn't know what exactly we were searching for? “ I can't really say” We both got into the Porsche as I answered.“ There is no one else that would be able to give an answer except her, but I don't know where she is”“ Who?” “ Her mother of course, I am so sure Nina doesn't know anyone by that name, and it will be so awkward bringing that up to her, we need to be certain. We don't want her suspecting us now, would we?” A part of me was glad that I didn't have to do this anymore, it would have pricked me a bit to know that. Richard was a drive away from the bar when my phone rang out. “ Ryan, where are you?” I could sense the urgency in her tone as she asked. I swallowed, gazing at Richard whose eyes were probing to know what's wrong when I answered. “ With Richard, is something wrong?” “ Yes, can you come over? I am at the morgue and I di

  • Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back    Disapproval

    Nina's POV I had never felt this jittery in years, months even with how tense I was, I thought I was going to mess things up. “ You have to calm down, he is just your mother's spouse” That brings us back to why we were here, my mother's spouse, the one she said she wanted to introduce to me. I had wanted to be here first, just to get along foremost before passing it on to anybody what exactly he looked like, but my mother had insisted I came with Reina. She was better than me, as it was to be expected, and she was here to keep me in place or so I had thought. “ Something bulging your mind?” I shook my head when she asked. We had just gotten to the spot, fine dining with a reservation so difficult to get even if you were well known, but we seemed to be here, my mum had said this was the designated venue, and so we had to be here on time. “ It's now or never” the door opened with a slight push from me and we were in. It didn't take so long to find the booth that we were looking

  • Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back    A hit

    Ryan's POV A smile crested over my face while I hummed alongside to perfect by Ed Sheeran, that was how my life was like currently, it was going the right path that I wanted it to be. Stepping on the gas, I couldn't keep thinking of how everything was just the way it should be presently, but there was merely a problem and that one had to be taken care of. I slammed the brakes in front of Richard's company, swept my gaze around when I stepped out of the car, beaming at the CCTV camera that told me he had his eyes glued on it. I figured him letting out a string of curses at what I had just done, before turning his attention back to his pile of documents. When he wasn't with Reina and the kids, playing the obsessed husband, he had his head into his documents trying to work even harder. Stepping into the elevator, I waited for it to drop me in front of his office and when I did, I pushed the door open. “ You should take a breath, you are always working” I pointed at him when I was

  • Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back    Mind blowing

    Nina's POV I beamed at the hand that had wrapped itself around me, before kissing me noisily. Pushing him off gently, I let out a plea. “ Let me sleep a bit, hmm” I pleaded while trying to shut my eyes a bit when the scent of freshly baked potatoes and cabbage lamb roast stew had me opening them in a sec. “ You surely do know how to get me” I gave him a slight jab at the arm before staring around, my mouth watered at the sight before me. “A little bit burnt, but I guess it's the intentions that matters” Ryan said while being nervous. I could tell because he was unusually jittery, which wasn't a fine attribute of his person, unless he had done something wrong, or he intended to do something that has him this way, I hope it was the latter because I could do without any huge thing at the moment. “ Spill” I urged, taking a scoop of the delicious goodness in front of me. A moan escaped my lips sending a little tingle in-between my legs when he stared at me like I was the most delic
