REIGN'S POV

What should I do? Should I laugh and just run away? No, she would just run after me and catch me easily? Should I say I was a fan? That was more feasible. Or should I just say the truth? That Ivan had me do this? Ivan never told me if I was allowed to do that though.

I groaned. What a rollercoaster my life has become!

“ I…I was just…you know….” I stammered, looking around the mall like a way out was going to suddenly appear.

“ I don't know anything. All I know is a creepy woman has been following me in a beat up car all day. ” Mel said, venom coating her face and her voice.

My poor car. I am sorry you are taking the brunt of my actions.

“ The thing is…” I started, ready to throw Ivan under the bus to redeem the image of my car.

“ Oh, it's you. ” Melanie suddenly exclaimed, startling me. What was going on? Have we met before?

“ Do you know me? ” I asked, reluctantly.

“ Of course. Aren't you the reporter who posted the first article about Ivan's affair? ” She asked, the i

  • Love in the Headlines    An appropriate time

    REIGN'S POV It was a fair deal to say that no one was having a bite tonight. Well, except for Roman who was already wolfing down his food, oblivious to what was going on around him.Oh, to be a kid again.Before I could think better of it, I slipped my hand under the table and held Ivan’s hand. His hand was very cold and trembling.This was a huge blow to all of us, despite how much of an asshole Alfred was. I could only imagine how Ivan must be feeling.“You know how to ruin everything, don't you?” Ivan chuckled, pulling his hand out of mine harshly. I guess my touch was not comforting in any way. “Was this what you had to announce? How could you be so fucking selfish? This is a dinner celebration, a happy moment. Why would you break that kind of news in a place like this?”“I just don't want to go through the hassle of having to tell everybody one by one,” Alfred shrugged. He looked so indifferent for someone who was going to die very soon. “Since a lot of people are here, they can

    REIGN'S POV “Where are we going?” I asked as the car sped down the road. Today has been quite eventful with my discharge from the hospital. Although I have to go back a week later to get rid of my cast, my hand doesn't hurt as much as before so I barely noticed.It did a good job though in ruining my outfit consisting of a two piece button up shirt and pant trousers.“Somewhere you can relax?” Ivan smirked.“Come on, that's so vague.”“I can't tell you much but I promise you it's somewhere you are gonna like. You've been there before,” he said.“I have?” My eyes squinted trying to think of all the places I could have fun that I've been to before. Nothing clicked so I just gave up.“Are you okay?” Ivan asked.I nodded and smiled. He asked me that as often as possible. It was surreal seeing Ivan so different and attentive but I was starting to get used to it.“Right, that reminds me. You remember I told you I suspected Christian and Melanie had something going on?”My wide eyes swung t

  • Love in the Headlines    An entanglement

    IVAN'S POV I glanced at my phone for the umpteenth time and sighed. Reign was not calling me. She has not said anything about my proposal either. I knew I said I was going to be patient but I couldn't get my mind off it.Because I knew damn well that she had every reason to refuse. I was scared.“I'm starting to feel bad with how much you're ignoring me, Ivan,” Christian whistled softly.Oh, right. I was in a meeting with Christian.“Sorry, my mind is really occupied right now,” I sighed, running my hands through my hair.“Why? You would rather be at the hospital, right?” he wriggled his eyebrows. It felt like we were back at the beginning when Christian was trying to let me know I had feelings for Reign.I was not denying anything anymore.“Yes,” I confessed. Christian looked taken back but eventually, a smile bloomed on his face.“Glad you finally got your ass out of the denial phase, friend,” he laughed. “What is it going to be now?”“I want Reign. I need her,” I said.“Woah,” Chr

  • Love in the Headlines    Our fake relationship

    REIGN'S POV I munched on the cookies Ivan brought before he left for his meeting quietly. I was left to my devices which gave me the space to think about a lot of things.Most especially about Ivan’s proposal. Should I even call it that?I was not sure what to do. In my heart, I knew I felt the same way towards him but my brain told me it was not right.Our inner circle might understand but the rest of the world won't. I would be called names and body shamed. I was not sure if I would be able to handle that.The door slid open and Mel walked in, clutching a laptop to her chest. She spent more time in my hospital room than in hers“Hi, Reign,” she smiled at me before taking her seat on the couch in the corner of the room and getting to work on the laptop.“What are you doing?” I asked, getting down from my bed and walking towards her.“Taking a leap of faith,” she replied. “Alexandra just left and she put ideas in my head.”“Oh, how is she?” I took a seat beside her and peered into h

    REIGN'S POV “Let me do it for you,” I sighed and handed Ivan the orange juice I was trying to open. I have heard those six words so many times these past few days that I had gone numb to it.“I can do it myself, you know,” I said as I collected it back from him. I hummed as I took a sip. Good stuff.“I know but I want to do it for you. The doctor said you need absolute rest,” he argued as he took his seat once again beside me.“I'm sure opening a bottle of orange juice won't tire me out but thank you,” I chuckled, causing some of the juice to slip down the right side of my lips. Before I could clean it myself, Ivan reached up and swiped it clean.But that was not the shocking part. He brought his thumb up to his mouth and sucked it.My mouth fell open as I gulped. That was hot.“Erm, thank you,” I looked away, cleaning my mouth again. “Have you seen Mel or Christian today?” He asked. I knew he was trying to make small talk because of the sudden awkwardness but I went along with it.

  • Love in the Headlines    She's alive

    MELANIE'S POV I shifted on my bed as my eyes moved to my sister sitting beside my bed side. I had no idea what to say to her or where to even start the conversation from. I stared at Christian who was sitting on the sofa provided at another corner of the room, tapping into his iPad.I thought the attention he was giving me on the first day was because I had just come back from the dead but several days have passed and I had no idea why he was sticking around.My memory of my relationship with my sister was hazy. It was from a long time ago, before my mum left us. After that, there had been nothing but space and misunderstanding between us.“How…” her voice cracked, letting me know she was going through the same turmoil as I was. “How are you feeling?”“I'm good but the doctors said I have to stay admitted for a while so they can really make sure everything is okay. I ran away from the hospital the last time I was here, you see,” I joked to lighten the mood but Matilda only cracked a
