IVAN'S POV

“Give me a very important reason as to why I had to be here.” I sighed as I adjusted my suit jacket. I would rather be anywhere else.

Maybe at home, in the kitchen precisely, chatting with Reign like we used to. We hadn't done that in such a long time. So much has happened between us since then and the distance between us has only doubled in size. Perhaps we hurt each other way too much.

And that kiss….

“It's the annual CEO banquet, Ivan. It's impossible for you not to be here. No two ways about it.” Christian scoffed beside me.

“You could have stood in for me.”

Christian side eyed me. “And why will I do that?”

“You have been no fun since your break up.” I rolled my eyes, grabbing a glass of champagne from a passing waiter.

“I decided to stop taking bullshit from people.” He shrugged.

“So I was doing bullshit?”

“I didn't say that.”

“Come, let's fight it out, you—”

“Are you guys forgetting that everybody can see you?”

Christian and I both turned at the sound of the voice

  • Love in the Headlines    Petty coward

    IVAN'S POV I had no idea what I was doing, really or what I intended to achieve with this. Was it to tell him to shut the fuck up? Or to tell him to stay away from Reign? Who was I to give that command? Her father? Brother? Boy…friend?“What the hell do you think you are doing?” Henry asked, glancing down at my hands that were holding his collars tightly before looking at my face.Yes, what the hell was I doing? Was I trying to put myself into more trouble than I already am with my father? He was already suspicious, based on how often I had appeared in the media in the past months. Why was I making it even worse?I released his collars harshly and stepped back, my eyes unintentionally clashing with that of Mel. She looked shocked, alongside a different emotion I couldn't place. I looked away and scoffed, I didn't give a flying fuck what she thought about me or this situation. Christian didn't look any less shocked. I was probably going to get an earful from him as well.“Don't you th

  • Love in the Headlines    Lost blood

    REIGN'S POV I pushed the door open and sighed. Today had to be one of the longest days ever. Quite a lot had happened since I opened my eyes, I almost couldn't believe it was the same day. I glanced at the bag containing the gift box in my arms and looked away, the guilt weighing heavily on my shoulders. I was shameless. I shouldn't have accepted her gift knowing what I did to her.The door closed behind me with a click as I pulled off my shoes and trudged towards the stairs. However,the sound of the television made me pause in my steps. I sucked in a deep breath at the sight of Ivan sitting comfortably on the sofa. I was not ready to face him yet so I turned away in a hurry, hoping the television was loud enough to cover up the sound of my entry.“Reign.” He called out, making me close my eyes in trepidation. I had been caught.I reluctantly looked at me, tensing up as he switched off the television and walked toward me. His expression gave nothing away. It was the usual stoic and b

  • Love in the Headlines    Something was wrong

    MELANIE’S POV I glanced at my phone for the umpteenth time before looking at the clock on the wall. Reign was running very late. Was she still coming?“Is Miss Reign still coming? It will be 7 anytime soon.” Alexandria said, as she wheeled another newly made dress into the studio. I looked over at her and nodded. “I suppose so, she did say she would come.”“I can't wait to finally meet her. After all, we had a few orders over the last week because she wore your dress to that event.” Alexandria beamed.I smiled and nodded. Reign indeed was my lucky star. A few of her pictures with Henry got released and a lot of attention was fortunately on the dress. I didn't expect that.“Should we just make her our model? I think she has the gift of making every cloth look good.” Alexandria suggested. I chuckled. “Reign is very shy. I'd try to pitch her but no promises though.”Alexandria nodded and pointed at the several mannequins she had brought out. “Alright then. These are processed orders a

  • Love in the Headlines    Between us

    REIGN'S POV I rubbed my eyes groggily and rolled to my back. What time was it? What day was it? I yawned as I sat up, looking around the room like it was the first time I was in here. The air held the woody scent of Ivan, which made no sense whatsoever. Why would Ivan come into my room?The other side of the bed looked rough like someone had slept in it but I shrugged it off. It was probably me just rolling around in my sleep. I grabbed my phone from the bedside drawer as I stood up, gasping as I saw the time. It was already six in the evening. I literally slept throughout my birthday. It was not like anything would have happened if I stayed awake though.I had some unread messages and a few missed calls but I decided to check them later. I was more in need of water at the moment. I messaged my head as I jogged down the stairs, wondering why I had a splitting headache. I paused momentarily when I got to the bar, suddenly remembering how crazy I was to drink half a bottle of whiskey.

  • Love in the Headlines    Live in this moment

    IVAN'S POV I was doing it. I was really doing it. I was kissing Reign, a woman that had stumbled into my life by chance. If someone had told me I would get to this point with her, I would have sent them to a psychiatrist hospital. But here I was, kissing her so intensely and not feeling the urge to stop.Kissing Reign was better than I had imagined. Her lips were soft and willing, as if they were made for me. I placed her on the bar counter without breaking our lips apart. I didn't want to pull away from her, not even for a second.A party was going on in my stomach and my chest felt funny like a patty was going on in there. Despite how uncomfortable it was, it heightened the pleasure I felt from being with her.She wrapped her hand around my neck pulling me closer and I couldn't resist smiling against her lips at how eager she was. Almost as eager as I was.We finally broke apart, both of us breathing heavily. Reign's eyes were misty and her lips, red and swollen. She looked so much
