REIGN'S POV

“Are you sure this is a good idea?” I bit my lips, looking around the restaurant. “I'm not sure anymore. I feel like we would regret it.”

“Please, Reign. Do this for me, just this once.” Mel pleaded, grabbing my hands.

“I don't know.” I muttered, looking away. What if it doesn't go as planned?

This whole thing started after I expressed my shock at seeing Henry's name on the file loudly. Mel came to know that I had met him before and he was rather friendly to me when we met. Somehow I ended up here in the restaurant where they were supposed to be meeting. How Mel managed to convince me to do this was beyond me.

I would be taking Mel's place at her dinner date with Henry.

It was risky and I was sure shit was going to hit the roof when her dad found out. However, I couldn't let Mel attend herself when she was so miserable. She liked someone else, maybe even loved him but I was alone with no one in sight. Henry was also nice to me the last time I met him so it shouldn't be a

  • Love in the Headlines    Kill me first

    IVAN'S POV I tapped my pen against my table repeatedly, deep in thought. Tomorrow was Saturday, the day Henry and Reign was going to appear as a couple once again. Sure, people might still be skeptical about their relationship after only seeing them once but once they are seen together severally, it is cemented in their head. I couldn't let that happen. Reign's name shouldn't be beside any other man's name.“What business proposal are you thinking about so seriously?” Christian's voice broke me out of my trance. I didn't even notice him coming in.“Nothing important.” I waved it off accepting the file he stretched out to me.“Yet you were so concentrated?” His eyebrows rose in question? “I think I have an idea about who you were thinking about.”I groaned, “Don't start, Christian. I'm already stressed enough.”“I think that person can ease your stress though,” He grinned.“Yeah, she can if she wasn't out with another man.” I rolled my eyes before realizing I fell for his bait. I clo

  • Love in the Headlines    Luckiest day of my life

    REIGN'S POV After that weird, unexplainable interaction with Ivan, I left the house to go see Mel. I still couldn't make sense of what he did. Why did he drop those sandwiches on my lap, with so much anger as well?I was supposed to leave it on the coffee table but I was thick skinned so I just ate it and it was one of the best sandwiches I had ever had. I was glad I didn't let my pride keep me from such good food.I adjusted my cross bag and pushed the door to Mel's studio open and walked in. I needed her help on what to wear to the mini banquet Henry invited me to during the weekend. Melanie had great taste and made the best choices for me whenever we went shopping together.“Hi, Mel.” I waved at her. She was currently stitching up a dress. She looked very busy, with a pencil tucked behind her ear and needles held between her lips. Maybe I should have informed her before coming.She removed the needle from her lips as she jumped to her feet to come over to hug me. “This is such a p

  • Love in the Headlines    Claim her as mine

    IVAN’S POV Reign was really firm when she wanted to be. She really held on to her word of not wanting anything to do with me. Sure, she was there but it was like she was not. She didn't talk to me. She hadn't spoken to me since we got back from Mr Dashan's home. She rarely left her room too. I was at my wits end on what to do. I thought of using the contract to threaten her but she didn't give a damn about it anymore. I was confused on why she was still staying with me when she doesn't care what I do to her. I glanced at her over my laptop and sighed. I was only working downstairs just to see her. It was the only chance I've got. We were currently in the sitting room. Reign was watching a movie, while I was working or at least I was pretending to be working. Throughout the last ten minutes I had spent here, I only managed to read a word, I spent the rest of my time staring at her. I was still hellbent on not giving a name to what I felt. I was not willing to accept it either. It di

  • Love in the Headlines    I didn't mean to hurt you

    REIGN'S POV I tossed and turned again for the umpteenth time before groaning. Why couldn't I sleep? Was it because it was a foreign territory and a bed that was not mine? Could it be because my thoughts were consumed by different things? It was not because the bed was not comfortable, I was sure.My hands came up to grab my head as I sat up. I should have insisted on going home, whether it was raining or not. I glanced at the left side of the room and scowled. Turned out that Ivan's room was actually beside mine. After collecting my phone and saying all those crazy things, he left for his room without returning my phone and shut the door. I was appalled and banged on his door for almost an hour but he didn't open up, no matter how much I threatened him. I had to just give up and go check up on Roman, who was still awake despite how long I kept him waiting. He really wanted to hear that bedtime story.I pulled the cover away from my body and stood up, adjusting the SpongeBob themed pa

    MELANIE’S POV I scratched my nose awkwardly as Christian spoke to the police officer. There was a police car patrolling when the incident happened so they took it up. They already put the thief in their van. I sat up straighter as Christian nodded at the officer and the officer turned and left.What was going to happen?Christian looked hesitant as well as he walked towards me. That realization made my face harden. Right, he abhorred me and seeing me always reminded him of that one mistake he made.“Thank you very much for helping me get my bag back.” I bowed slightly as he finally reached me. “I wouldn't have been able to catch him without your help.”He shook his head. “I didn't really do anything. Anyone else would have done the same.”“Still, thank you. I will take my leave then.” I bowed my head slightly again before turning and leaving. We shouldn't have any further interaction between us. Though I had hidden it and suppressed it deep in my heart, it was a given that I still li

    MELANIE'S POV “Please hand me the last quilting pin.” I said, after securing the dress with another one. My first employee and manager of the studio, Alexandria, handed me what I asked for. I smiled at her before adding the last one and stepping back to admire my work. My first, completed gown.My throat clogged up. I was actually doing it. I was taking a bold step towards actualizing my dream.“Woah, it came out exactly how we wanted it.” Alexandria exclaimed.“Reign would look so pretty in this.” I sniffed. I could imagine her in it and I was sure she was going to do it justice. I made it with her in mind every step of the way. This dress was created for her. “She would be so surprised and shocked.” I chuckled.“I really can't wait to meet this Reign.” Alex giggled. “She is almost all you talk about.”“Really?” I asked, running my hand down the dress. “Well, she is an amazing person. Someone I never expected to meet and get close to like that. I'm grateful for her.”“That's so swee
