Richard's POVEverything had turned blurry when I stomped out and Reina was gone, fuck it. I didn't know where exactly to start from or where exactly she might be because damn it I just couldn't breathe. Those minutes when I was in there thinking so hard, I had come to various conclusions, most of which ended up in the fact that it was none of her fault. I was the freaking one who was at fault. I had knocked her up and demanded that she get rid of it, what exactly does that make me?I was as messed up as any other guy out there who would do that to their partner. What happened to using protection? Why had I messed up and still went raw, even when I knew that I didn't want her to end up pregnant? Huh? Wasn't I at fault? Realization had dawned on me, and it had come down like everything I had never wanted to try out. I didn't know why, but when I stepped out of the room, all that I had intended to do was make sure that she knew we were together. Through every phase of her pregnancy.
Reina's POV “ Stop that, you should let your mother rest” Richard chided Kelvin as he held me away from where I was resting gently on. I would have shouted at him for being tough, but I couldn't bring myself to, not after the relapse I had a few months back. Everyone had panicked, everyone had kept praying and hoping that I was fine and even Richard had almost broken down but all of that had turned out fine when I got better. A doctor had been flown in from India who was said to be one of the best and was kept around. It had been challenging to sort him out, but he was a freshman who was a gynecologist, and he had been by my side through it all. It was said that while he was in school, he had been known as the best graduating one of his set, and immediately he was set to be inducted, Richard had combed everywhere searching for him. He had offered a fair deal, a hospital and a considerable sum of money that would set him for life just if he could dedicate a year or two to making s
Reina's POVI sniffed in as low grunts and the sound of skin slapping against skin pierced through my ear, I could feel my heart shredding into tiny bits I knew wouldn't be recoverable as I listened on, squeezing hard on the door knob, I tried all that I could not to let myself immerse in the sea of thoughts that threatened to take me away with it, I kept trying, trying to be strong, but It appeared that I wasn't trying enough, where exactly had I gone wrong in all of this?Beads of tears cascaded down my face and I bit on my lips until I could feel the metallic taste of blood which was mixed with salt. “ Madam, I told you not to come in but still, you refused to heed my warnings” the secretary admonished me as the moans and grunts got worse, and I was forced to take a step backwards, pulling my hands away from the knob as though I had been scalded by something hot. I loved him far too much to let another woman take him away from me. I wasn't going to let it happen, although our mar
Reina's POV"Ahaha," I chuckled softly, amused with what I have just heard, " You didn't mean that right?" I blinked severally at him, not wanting to believe what I had just heard." Tell me you didn't fucking mean what you have just said, Richard? Tell me you do not want to break me in such a way…tell me you do not want to break my heart just like that…please…" I bellowed, shutting my eyes tightly before opening them."Tell me you aren't giving up on us" I pleaded with him, moving closer to touch him, to run my hands on him if it meant him knowing that I was here" I am tired Reina, of this charade we call marriage, of what we have…. I am tired already" he answered me, his gaze drifting off, he wasn't looking at me, perhaps was that how much he hated me. Did my presence disgust him? I shook my head, not wanting to accept what I had just heard, "We can make this work, Richard, you know that we can, don't you? You have always told me that we can do whatever we set our mind to do…re
Reina's POVI gasped out with sweat running down my face, and my chest heaving heavily, I flipped my gaze around taking in sight of the room I was in when I saw Nina, seated on the long couch, how long had she been sitting there?A wave of pain shot through my body, numbing me for seconds, and I reclined against the wall, squeezing my eyes tight as memories from what had happened came back just like a running train would have.Did he hate me that much already? I could remember vividly well that I had stretched out a hand to him, hoping that he would hold me but he had flashed a grin at me before stepping back."My babies" I gasped out, running a hand on my stomach, were they gone?"Reina..?" Nina's voice came through and I flicked my eyes open,"My babies….." I whispered with dread filling my voice, that shallow feeling in my stomach seemed to have worsened,"Don't tell me I lost them?" She averted her gaze to the ground and my heart flipped, my hands lay limp by my side and I could f
Richard's POVI sat on the chair, the air heavy with dread, as my eyes drifted to the papers that littered about the office. The scent of the coffee that I had ordered my secretary to brew for me a while ago lingered in the air, but still, I couldn't take my eyes off the documents that had just been placed on my table, the one with the large font in front of it that read divorce papers.A while ago, Ryan had walked in, holding them in his hands, and although I had prayed that it was just a figment of my imagination playing out on me, I was faced with the sad reality that it wasn't when he had slammed it on the table again, jolting me out of my thoughts My heart ached as I reached out to take it, fiddling through the pages. I just couldn't believe Reina had signed them, my chest tightened, and a lump formed in my throat, one that stayed, no matter how hard I tried to force it down. “Richard, I'm sorry,” Ryan apologized, his voice dripping with sympathy, that made me chuckle, why wa
Richard's POV“I don't care whatever it is that you intend on doing or how exactly you are going to search for her but get me Reina!” I screamed at Darren, my nerves bulging out as I punched the wall, denting it in the process,He stood still, not moving an inch further away, “I have searched everywhere for her, It has been weeks, and she is nowhere to be found, Why don't you just give up on her?” I shot him a glare, one that I was sure as hell sent shudders down his spine as I demanded him to say what he had just said again, “What did you just say?” I asked, while tapping on my knee earnestly, waiting for an answer,He said words that came out in muffled sounds before shaking his head to the side, “Nothing boss” he answered before turning on his heels and making his way out of my office.I ran a hand through my locks, before letting out a hiss, I was vexed, vexed at everything happening. Why had she gone that far? What happened to our promise to be with each other forever? I wondered
Richard's POV It was taking all the restraint in me to keep my sanity in check as my eyes bore through the laptop in front of me, the stocks were plummeting with each minute. I stood up, with my hands placed on my waist before kicking the chair in anger, my feet stung, but I couldn't care less as I fumed in anger, I threw a glance at the door when it was yanked open and Darren stepped in, his face was stormy, and I could tell the answer already, “She is nowhere to be found” I took in a deep breath, hoping that it would help me think better, but it did little to help, it was times like this when I needed Reina more, months without her felt so dark and I needed her,“The shareholders? What exactly is going on?” I was trying everything inside of me to be calm, trying not to look at the system in front of me, but I couldn't. I bit on my nails anxiously as I waited for an answer, “Speak!” “ Somehow the news of what you have done found its way to the reporters, and they were all eager
