IVAN'S POV I wiped the towel down my face as I shut the gym door and made my way back to the sitting room. I wondered if Reign was in the kitchen whipping up something. I almost could not see the kitchen without her in it anymore.I placed the towel on my shoulder ready to go to the kitchen to see Reign when the woman in question suddenly appeared in front of me, startling me. Thankfully, I didn't have a reaction too big. I had already embarrassed myself enough with what happened yesterday.“ Are you cosplaying a ghost today too? ” My eyebrows raised in question.“ Pull off your shirt. ”“ What? ”“ Pull off your shirt, ” She repeated.She was serious? Was she okay? “ Don't you think I need some sort of explanation as to why I need to pull off my shirt? ” I folded my arms.“ I need to confirm something. ” She replied, folding her arms as well.Wrong move.I can't believe I let my guard down yesterday and got caught ogling her boobs. She was doing the same thing again. Raising them u

REIGN'S POV The life of a jobless broke woman was really monotonous. My routine now consisted of waking up, eating, and seeing Mel. I wondered how I was going to live after this whole thing was over. It was more than glaring that I had lost my job at Everlight publications. The thought of Bethany getting the position I had worked hard for made my stomach clench in sadness and something else akin to anger.“ Are you okay? ”“ Uh, what? ” I said, remembering my surroundings. I was in a mall with Mel. She had suddenly invited me out for breakfast that morning. She was exactly the person I wanted to see so I didn't waste time in going to see her after that weird moment with Ivan.“ Is everything fine? You have been staring at your cup for over five minutes. ” Mel said, twirling her latte with a straw.“ Yeah, everything is fine. I just feel a bit nostalgic. “ I smiled.“ Oh, I understand that feeling. Missing moments that are long gone and wishing they would happen again. I know it all t

REIGN'S POV I woke up the next day with a heavy heart and a heavy body, everything seemed to hurt and it took all my willpower to get me out of bed. I finally stood up and stretched, enjoying the cracks that ran through me. With my eyes still half closed, I trudged to the bathroom realizing how monotonous my life has gotten.My life was not particularly interesting before but there was always a twinge of surprise or something exciting attached to my day which I had to cover. It was a huge contrast to how it is now.I sighed as I put the paste on my toothbrush, raising my head to look at the mirror. I gasped and the toothbrush fell from my hand and landed in the sink, the paste smearing it.My neck was bruised and purple. My hand went to it and I flinched at the tender skin. It hurts. I glanced at my arms as well, seeing similar bruises. Just how hard did he hold me?I exhaled, wondering how I was going to face him. If he had any conscience at all, he would not show his face to me aga

Chapter 16IVAN'S POV I did not want to be in this godforsaken place. Anywhere else would be preferable. Maybe the office or the kitchen of my home….with Reign in it. I sighed, remembering how cold she was to me this morning. I deserved it after all. I shoved my hands in my pants trousers and snatched up a flute of champagne from a passing waitress. I downed it one go before giving up and moving to the bar. I wanted to get drunk and forget everything and everybody.My father Melanie Reign.The hurt from my father's words had faded and in its place was the need to do better. To release myself from the shackles that were holding me down. What then was the reason for my bad mood? I was irritated and pissed off.Maybe it has something to do with a redhead who has green eyes, a voice in my head said, startling me. That had never happened to me before. I glanced at the empty flute in my hand and sighed.I sat down at the bar and nodded at the bartender who immediately put another glass

MELANIE’S POVHe was really standing in front of me. The man I must have thought about a million times. The one I wished to meet again more times than I could count. My wish finally came true but I had no idea how to act. How was I supposed to act in front of my ex fiancé’s personal assistant and closest friend who I had slept with? The strings of relationships had my head hurting.“ Have you never seen her before? Why do you look so startled? ” Ivan asked, reminding me of where I was but I could not look away from him. I did not want to look away.Ivan called out my name and said something but I was too focused on the man in front of me to care. I was being too obvious, I was sure but I couldn't help myself. I watched as he argued with Ivan about taking him home while I silently prayed that he stayed.I wanted to see him longer, talk to him longer. Maybe I had finally found the one, and to think he had been beside Ivan all along. How could I have never noticed?Finally Ivan left, lea

REIGN'S POV I jumped, dropping my book as I heard the door shut tightly downstairs. It was startling hearing such a loud noise in a house that was usually quiet. I sat up when I heard feet stomping and groaning. Ivan must be back from the banquet.It was really weird though. It was hard to tell whether Ivan was around or not because he never made noises going out or coming in. However, he was alerting everybody within a five-mile radius that he was back. I wondered if he was drunk again. I do not want to be in the presence of drunk Ivan ever again. He was brutal, unfeeling and had no bottom line.I plopped down on my head, ignoring all the ruckus he was making. I had no idea if it was on purpose or if he was too out of it to caution himself but I wanted no interaction with him. I picked up the book I was reading and drowned out all other noises. The book I was reading had the enemies to lovers trope and so far, it was really interesting. The male lead was just as mean as Ivan but th

IVAN’S POVTwenty five years ago.I laughed as I ran after the ball, excitement making my pace faster. I grinned when I was finally able to catch it. I turned back and waved at my mum. Her smile had me running back to her with my prize tucked under my arm.“ Mum, again. ” I grinned, wanting to continue the game of throw and catch where she would throw the ball while I run after it to catch it.“ Aren't you tired? ” She asked, caressing my sweat-dampened hair. Lately, mum looked more and more frail and I asked what was wrong with her but she just smiled and told me not to worry but I worry. I shook my head. “ No, it's the first time you have played with me in a while. ”“ But your dad will soon be back. You know he won't like to see you doing something so childish. ”The smile on my face disappeared at the mention of my father. I hated him. He was too strict and liked shouting at mum. He always told me to be a man and avoid childish things but I do not understand. I was a child, there

IVAN’S POV I sighed in bliss as I snuggled into my mum's embrace. I knew mum was still going to be there when I woke up. Mum would never leave me. She was just joking when she said she was going on a journey.Mum's embrace was as warm and loving as always. I mumbled as I wrapped my hands tighter around her. It was weird though. Mum was frail the last time I had seen her but now, Mum was fuller and bigger. Mum was healthy—My eyes shot wide open, the sunlight from the window, a startling brightness. I closed my eyes again, before opening them slowly, adjusting to the unwanted brightness.I sighed as I remembered the content of my dream. Could it even be called a dream when they are my memories? Something I had to live through.I placed my right arm over my eyes, the brightness annoying me. For some reason, I could not move my other arm. I glanced to my left and my soul almost left my body when I saw Reign's beautiful face.I would just ignore the adjective I unconsciously used to desc

Love in the Headlines Finding myself
REIGN'S POV I was rotting away badly. It had only been three days but I could swear it felt like three years. There was nothing of importance to do. I was done with all of my hidden books and there was nothing of interest to watch either. I would have continued with my tour of my house, however it hurt to move too much. If I wanted it to heal as quickly as possible, I had to sacrifice unnecessary movements for now.I sighed and sat up in bed for the umpteenth time. That's what I had been doing, sit up, then lay down and the cycle continued. It was a crazy thing to want, but I would do anything to return back to work now. Even if Mr Cobbs insulted the shit out of me, I would accept it with a smile on my face. I had no one to spend time with. I usually felt lonely but never this lonely, probably because I had never tasted what companionship was back then but now that I had an idea what it meant to have a friend, to have someone who genuinely loved you for who you are, loneliness start
Love in the Headlines Useless things
UNKNOWN’S POVI walked down the hallway, feeling a shiver rake through my body. I was not someone that got scared easily but this place unnerved me. It was eerie and could pass off as the perfect location for a horror movie. It didn't help that it was silent and completely empty. Usually I liked to stay away and just talk on the phone but this time, things had gotten out of hand and control. I needed to get answers.I stopped in front of the door and rasped my knuckle on it, giving myself as a prep talk while waiting for the confirmation to go in. It came a while later and I pushed the door open and walked inside. The office was shrouded in darkness, the only source of light it had was the small candle on his desk and the bit of sunlight that managed to peek through the heavy curtains. I might be paranoid but I could swear I could smell blood in the room whenever I came. It made me very uncomfortable but it looked like this man was basking in it instead. Was this what people meant by
Love in the Headlines Sensitive
REIGN'S POVI groaned as I slowly came through. That was the most uncomfortable sleep I have ever had. Everything seemed to hurt, most especially my bandaged ankle and foot. If I had known following Henry to the banquet would lead to all these, I would have respectfully declined. I sat up and rubbed my eyes, feeling extremely miserable. Even taking a step hurt and Doctor Charles kind of confined me to a bed rest. Imagine being confined to bed for over three weeks, can't be me.I dropped my legs over the side of the bed, wanting to freshen up, just as there was a knock on my door. There was no need to ask who it was as it was only two of us staying in the house. I limped to the door, trying not to wince at the pain I felt at the movement. I cursed Matilda in my head for the umpteenth time. I won't be responsible for how I behave the next time I see her.I pulled the door open and my eyes widened when I saw Ivan with a tray of food in his hands. I opened the door wider and let him come
Love in the Headlines Face-off
REIGN'S POV Ivan was on his knees the proposal way, in his fine cut expensive suit and holding my leg in his hands. Did I fall asleep and woke up in a different universe? Or was I just hallucinating?I snatched my leg back and shifted more into the car. Ivan was insane but I wasn't going to go crazy along with him. “What are you doing?” Ivan, looking at me like I was crazy when he was actually the crazy one. “I need to check your ankle.”“My ankle is fine but you, on the other hand, are not.” I eyed him warily.“What are you even talking about? Did you hit your head when you fell?” He scoffed and tried to grab my foot but I retracted it. “Come on, what is wrong with you?”“Get up off your knees. Do you know how weird this looks?” I said, looking around. “What if someone sees you? How am I supposed to explain this?”“Why are you so concerned about what people have to say? You know I don't give a shit about that.” He sighed.“Well, I care. You have been acting weird all evening and gi
Love in the Headlines Unexplainable actions
REIGN'S POV I was in shock, as was the rest of us. How could she do something like that in such a place? I looked down when everyone in the hall started to whisper and take pictures. This was the most embarrassing thing I have had to face in years. I wished I could just enter the ground or something.The crisp sound of someone's hand hitting someone's cheek had me looking up again. I gasped when I saw Matilda with her face whipped to the left and Mel in front of her. Did Mel just slap her sister…. because of me?“How dare you lay your filthy hands on her? Are you crazy?” Mel bellowed, her voice reverberating around the now silent hall. “Do you know why I have been tolerating your nonsense? Because I felt guilty, because I felt like I should have carried you along with me but with this…you've destroyed the last bit of sibling bond that we share. I never want to see you again. Get out of my sight.”Matilda screamed and rushed at Mel. “Did you just lay your hands on me because of a fat
Love in the Headlines Hate you for life
REIGN'S POV “Mel…Mel…,” I tapped her repeatedly without lifting my eyes away from her sister. “Why is Matilda coming over here with that look on her face?”Everyone turned in the direction I was looking at and their faces changed. Ivan and Mel had knowing looks while Henry looked confused.“Oh God, no.” Mel muttered under her breath but we all heard. Finally, Matilda reached us and glared at everyone, including Henry. I wondered what her problem was. Fighting in this place wouldn't do any of their reputations any good.“You must have thought you won, huh?” Matilda glared at Melanie, hatred dripping from her voice. “You seduced him into getting back with you.”“Matilda, let's not do this here, okay? I know you are mad for some reason but just wait till we get to the comforts of our home. This is not the place.” Mel tried to pacify her.“Oh spare me the bullshit.” She hissed. “Do you think I give a fuck about that? I actually want to ruin your reputation. All of you.”“What exactly is

REIGN'S POV “Oh my God, it's really you.” I bent down to his height, smiling from ear to ear. It took every bit of self control in me not to swoop down and hug him. He might not be comfortable with that. I couldn't believe I got to see him again and so soon at that.My smile fell when there wasn't any speck of familiarity on his face. I heard little kids forget people quickly, I guessed that was true. I looked away, feeling my heart break. I thought we created a little special memory in that pastry shop.“I think I know you.” Roman said, placing his finger on his chin in thinking mode. I laughed, letting go of the sadness I felt. If he forgot, then we would just create new ones. “Wait, the pastry shop lady?”He remembered me. I almost jumped up to celebrate. “The pastry shop lady?” I laughed, “I guess you can call me that.”I gasped when he flew into my arms, hugging me tight. I laughed and squeezed him before releasing him. He was so freaking cute. I wanted to run away with him.“Th

REIGN'S POV I was nervous. I was literally fidgeting in my seat. We were the next in line in the fleet of cars arriving at the event. I was not prepared at all. What if I tripped and fell? What if someone stepped on my dress and it tore away from my body? What if—“I can imagine just how chaotic your thoughts must be right.” Henry said, reminding me that he was beside me. “You don't have to worry about a thing, Reign. I will be there beside you, holding your hand.”“I'm so sorry.” I said nervously. “I've just never had to face something like this.”“It's okay. I was even more nervous when I attended my first banquet. I was a stuttering mess.” He said, trying to lighten the mood. “Alright, it's our turn. Just follow my lead, okay?”I nodded and held my breath as he got out of the car. The crowd of reporters immediately went wild, snapping away and throwing questions. Henry was even more popular than I thought.My heart was in my throat when Henry opened my side of the door and offered
Love in the Headlines Talk of the town
REIGN’S POV I rubbed my eyes sleepily as I trudged down the stairs. The house was empty as I walked into the kitchen. I decided to just close my eyes a bit and I ended up sleeping until dinner time. I opened the fridge and brought out a bottle of water. Ivan came in, just as I uncapped it. “Hey,” he said as he fixed his cufflinks.“Hey.” I said, drawing it out as I appraised him. “Why are you dressed like that? A special occasion?”“I wouldn't call it special. I had no choice. I'm attending with Mel, by the way. We are going public earlier than we expected.” He shrugged.My heart clenched. What the hell? “I see. I guess you will be the topic of discussion in the papers tomorrow.”“That's unavoidable.”“I wish I still had my job. This would have been so fun to write about.” I sighed dreamily.“Think about it in four months.” He smirked while I glared at him. “I'd be back late.”“Stay out all night, if you feel like it too. It's none of my business.” I shrugged and drank some water.I
