UNKNOWN'S POV

My hands clenched in the pocket of my black pants as I watched the whore walk away. Her shoulders were hunched and her steps were slow. No matter what angle you looked at it from, she looked pitiful and raised a sense of protection in anyone.

But I wasn't fazed.

I knew it was all an act.

“That fucking pretentious bitch,” I breathed out, pinching my nose to stop myself from hurling across the street. That would blow my cover.

Not yet. I must not ruin this.

I fell in step with her, brushing past people while trying my best to look inconspicuous. Thankfully the gradually darkening sky helped to perfect my cover.

The fucking bitch looked like a drowned cat as she walked, eventually I started to get irritated as I followed her. What was she being so slow for? I hated people who made their sadness so obvious for the world to see, so much so that others didn't have a choice but to care for them. It fucking made me sick.

How fucking slow she was being gave me the chance to s

  • Love in the Headlines    Put on a show

    IVAN'S POV I looked around the room as I entered, hoping to catch a glimpse of that red hair. I sighed in defeat when it was nowhere to be found.She managed to leave before I arrived again.“Why do you look so disappointed when you are here to see me?” My eyes snapped to Mel who was staring at me while copped up on her bed, phone in hand. I guess she was starting to get real comfortable.“Ah….” I scratched the back of my neck, wondering what excuse to give. “Or are you not here to see me? Are you looking for a certain redhead?” She wriggled her eyebrows suggestively.I rolled my eyes and went to take a seat beside her. “I'm here to see you.”“It does not look like it. Hopefully you catch her next time. I doubt it though seeing as she is putting so much effort into not wanting to run into you.” Mel shrugged, accepting the takeout I handed to her.I sighed. Right, she was avoiding me, preferring to spend her days with Mel in the hospital.I shouldn't blame her when it was my fault.

  • Love in the Headlines    Small talk

    REIGN'S POV “Get out.”I rolled my eyes. “No.”“I want you to leave.”“Well, I don't want to leave.”“Are you playing with me right now?” Mel scowled at me, running her hands through her hair in frustration. Her gauze was removed last night. “You need to go home.”“I can't leave you here alone.” I shook my head. “What if something happens when I am gone?”“You must think you are a superhero or something,” she rolled her eyes. “Whatever is bound to happen will happen regardless.”“Mel—”“I want you to go home and rest. I heard you turning and groaning last night. I know how uncomfortable this is for you so go home and sleep on a nice bed.” She pointed at the door. I was not able to sleep because I was worried out of my mind but she didn't need to know that.“Alright, I will but I still can't let you stay here alone so I will call someone to stay with you.” I stood up and grabbed my bag and phone.“Who are you calling?”“You will see.” I smiled and waved at her.“Reign, don't play gam

  • Love in the Headlines    A terrible, terrible man

    IVAN'S POV It was official that everyone was upset with me. Maybe that was even an understatement. They were livid and disappointed. However no one was saying anything to me. They didn't shout. They just gave me those glances that made me feel miserable and like a monster. I will take their shouting and yelling over this anytime.Even Reign preferred to give me her fake smile, hiding behind them rather than ask me the questions that were bothering her.She was probably disgusted with me and she had every right to feel that way.What kind of man wooed you one minute and then declared he wanted to get married to another woman the next minute?Me. That was who.What could she possibly say to me anyway?Christian was doing the same thing to me right now, staring blankly at me like he didn't secretly wish to bash me in the head with a plank.I shut the file with a ‘pop’, unable to take it any longer. “Why don't you sit down and let's talk about this?”“We have talked about all the project

  • Love in the Headlines    How to stop a wedding

    REIGN'S POV My hands trembled as I took a few steps back, like the distance would protect me from this inevitable conversation. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that Mel would be the first to discover it.I had no idea what to say.“Reign? I need you to tell me the truth. Those things I saw…. what's going on?” Mel urged.“It's nothing… it's a prank someone is pulling…. It doesn't mean anything.” How could I have left my phone in front of her? It was almost like I was begging for someone to see it.Maybe I was, it was becoming too heavy to bear after all.“Don't give me that bullshit.” It was the first time Mel cussed at me. I was not sure how to feel about it. “I didn't check your phone intentionally and I'm sorry if you are offended but I couldn't ignore what I saw. Whoever that bastard is, sent another message and it was on the table in front of me so I saw it.”They sent another message? Who were they using to threaten me again?“Reign, you can't deceive me that th

  • Love in the Headlines    My blackmailer and I

    REIGN'S POV I closed the fridge and moved to the counter and sat down. I dropped the water bottle on the table and sighed. There were a lot of things on my mind, things I shouldn't even be bothered about but they were all I could think of, despite not wanting to.“Reign…are you okay?” Ivan asked, as he came into the kitchen. I hadn't seen him in a while and it was intentional.“Yes, of course. I was just resting my head for a bit before I returned to the hospital. I needed a change of clothes as well,” I explained, looking everywhere but at him. I didn't want him to see what I couldn't say in my eyes. Someone once told me I had expressive eyes.“Right, do you need a ride?”“No, no I'm good,” I stood up, grabbed the already packed lunch and moved past him. “I'm leaving now. Thank you for the offer though.”Ivan grabbed my hand, making me turn back to him but he just stared at me without a word. I had no idea if it was because we had spent time together but I could somehow tell what he

  • Love in the Headlines    My Reign

    IVAN'S POV I've had the craziest twenty four hours of my life. First off, I got the shocking news that Mel got into an accident, then Reign tried to take her own life, then my father showed up with Mel's father and now this.We would be getting married at the end of the month? What was this load of crap?“You're joking, right?” Mel's voice shook, her hands clenching the covers around her.“Who jokes with that, my dear daughter-in-law?” My father grinned, spooking me out. I hated it when he showed any hint of amusement. It meant he enjoyed preying on your weakness.“But that's really impromptu. The end of the month is like two weeks away.” She continued her argument but I knew it was futile. Trying to reason with them would not solve anything.“The earlier, the better,” Mel's father replied, this time.“This makes no—”“We are not getting married at the end of the month,” I cut in. “This is something that concerns Mel and I. As the parties involved, we would be the one to decide when
