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

  • Love in the Headlines    In my arms

    IVAN'S POV She looked beautiful. The kind that made you pause for a few minutes because you just can't fathom any coherent thoughts. The kind that had you holding your breath because you're scared she would disappear if you as much as breathe a second. She looked totally picturesque as she stood in that corner but that portrait was ruined when I saw who was standing beside her. I had no idea what I intended to do by coming here but all I knew was I couldn't let her be alone with Henry, not when it made me feel like this, not when it filled me with so much rage and a foreign emotion I couldn't place. She was provoking me as well. Smiling at him, asking him to dance with her, letting him hold her so close, she was provoking me. But she needed to know who she belonged to. Even if she didn't care about the contract between us anymore, I was going to create something else to make her care, to bind her to me. I was selfish and I owned it. So when this woman I usually wouldn't have s

  • Love in the Headlines    Nice one, fate

    REIGN'S POV My mouth dropped even wider when I noticed what he was wearing. I looked down at my dress and looked back up at him. Was it just a coincidence that our clothes happened to be the same color? It looked more like we deliberately matched. How was that even possible?I shut my eyes and looked away, not wanting to be caught staring. However I was not as relaxed as before. Knowing Ivan was in the same hall made the hairs at the back of my head stand on edge.“Does he usually attend this gathering regularly as well?” I asked Henry.He shook his head. “This is the first time I am seeing him here. My mum's friend always complained that he never replies, not even with a rejection. I wonder what made him come this time.”It looked like he was curious, so was I. I scowled as the woman around started to giggle excitedly. They were so naive, falling for his good looks when he was full of nothing but evil. I looked away and rolled my eyes.“Who cares why he's here? I think you should be

  • Love in the Headlines    Matchmaking

    REIGN'S POV I twirled in front of the mirror excitedly. Mel's dress was even more beautiful on me. It was an understatement to say she had the hands of an angel. It was perfect and without flaw. The best part of it was that it was in my favorite color. The last time I loved a dress this much was the one Ivan gave me when we had to lodge in a hotel for the night. I sighed and sat back on the bed. It was annoying enough that I was not even as upset with him as I was supposed to be, I needed to stop thinking about him as well. If only I thought about Henry even a fraction of how much I thought about Ivan, my life would be easier.I bent down and slipped on my four inch heels. I was nervous as I wasn't a fan of heels but there was no substitute this time. I took a deep breath and hoped I would be fine for the rest of the evening.The knock on my door had me rising up to my feet. I was sure that was Henry. He booked a room in a hotel close to the location of the event a day before so com

  • 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
