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 My feet wobbled as I struggled to pull the door of my side of the car open. My fingers were trembling and couldn't grasp the handle tight. I looked up when Ivan pulled my hands away and pulled it open for me.I was not alone. Ivan was with me.My leg bounced throughout the ride, even placing my hand on it couldn't stop it. I bit into my nails as my thoughts ran haywire, making me even more distressed than I was.How bad was the accident? Was it really serious? I clasped my hand tight and prayed. Mel had to be okay. What would I do without her?“Calm down, Reign. Everything will be fine,” Ivan said, placing his hands over mine. He looked rather calm as he drove but I was sure he was just as distressed as I was.I jumped out of the car as soon as we got to the hospital. I had no idea I could run that fast until that day. Mel needed me.“Please, I'm looking for Melanie Anderson. She was involved in an accident,” I said to the nurse at the reception.She looked through her s

    REIGN'S POV “Reign.”They were watching me. Regardless of where I hid, they could see me. They had eyes and ears everywhere, I would never be able to escape from them. What if they were more psychotic than I thought? What if they hurt me just to get to Ivan?“Reign?”What if they hurt Ivan? Were they watching right now too? Should I just tell Ivan the truth? How were they able to see us though? Did they set up a camera somewhere? Does that mean there was a spy in this house? Or worse, the person sending the threats?“Reign!”“Huh?” I blinked repeatedly as Ivan’s worried face appeared in front of my eyes. I looked down at the still full plate in front of me. Right, I had forgotten I was having dinner with Ivan.“Is everything okay? You zoned out for the past ten minutes and you haven't even tasted the food.” He looked between my eyes like the answers were there.I cleared my throat and grabbed my spoon. “Not at all, everything is fine.” To show him that, I ate a spoonful of fried rice

    REIGN'S POV My hands clenched on my lap as his words ran around in my head. It made no sense. What were the chances that the father I had no idea about since I was born would suddenly show up in my life?“Perhaps you are mistaken,” I laughed but even I could hear the trembling underneath. “Nothing is proven yet but I'm half certain that the sender is your father,” Ivan insisted.“How do you even know that? We have never discussed my personal affairs. How do you know that I have never met my dad?” My eyes narrowed at him.“I have known all along. I did a background check on you after you published that write-up about me.” He looked reluctant as he said that.“I don't like the sound of that,” I mused. “That means you know everything about me, right? Even things I thought no one else knew?”“I'm not too sure. How else did you think I found out about your birthday?”“Oh,” I muttered as realization dawned on me. I didn't even question it back then when he wished me. It just reflexively r

  • Love in the Headlines    Father

    REIGN'S POV I held onto my legs and rocked quietly on the bed, my eyes unintentionally moving to my phone. It laid on the bedside drawer as if a reminder of the nightmare it contained. I looked away, my heart picking up its pace as my thoughts ran haywire.Could it have been a mistake?No. They knew I had been crying in Ivan's arms.“They must have been following me,” I whispered, gripping the sheets. That means they were watching from somewhere when I was out there, crying in Ivan's arms.Who could it be?My fingers came up to my mouth and I bit into them as the thought occurred to me. Over the past few months, I had amassed quite a huge number of haters so it could have been anyone of them.‘Crying like that in his arms won't make him belong to you.”My head cocked to my side as my hands fell back to my side. What if I was not who this mystery person was interested in? What if it was Ivan? In their message, they made mention of ownership. Did they want Ivan to belong to them?I gro

    IVAN’S POV“Come in.” I looked up briefly before returning my eyes to the document I was reading. It was silent for a while after the door was opened but the click of heels afterwards had me looking up again. My eyes raised in question as Mel's slim figure waltzed over.This was the second time this was happening.“To what do I owe this visit, Melanie?” I leaned back in my seat, eyeing her as she sat down and crossed her legs.“Does your fiancée need a reason to see you?” She grinned, teasing me. “You know damn well—”“I know I know,” she laughed. “In Reign's words, you are being so stuck up as always.”I smiled at the mention of Reign. “You wouldn't have come here if you didn't have something of importance to say to me. Out with it already.”“I wish I could refute and say I just came to see you but I am indeed here for something.” She clicked her tongue as she spoke. “It's about Reign.”I sat up straighter and looked everywhere but her. Why was she asking? What did she know? “Reign?

    REIGN'S POV I paused and eyed Ivan warily. He was waiting in front of the gate, his hands buried in his pockets and his bright eyes trained on me. He couldn't have been waiting for me, could he? Shrugging off unnecessary thoughts, I walked towards him. I had to pass by him to go inside, after all.“It's dangerous staying out so late.” He glanced at his wrist watch as he spoke.“I'm not doing this with you again.” I moved past him but I only got so far before he grabbed my hand and pulled me back to his side.“Were you able to do it?” He asked, making me confused.“Do what?” My curiosity was piqued and I forgot that I wanted to get away from him.“Tell Mel that we kissed.”I looked around as he mentioned the kiss, scared someone was listening but I turned back to him when his work clicked. “How do you know I was coming from her place.”“You are like an open book. Besides, if you're not at home, then you are at Mel's.” He stepped closer to me and my stomach flipped in response. I hated
