~***~“You cannot open it like that!" Reign yelled at William. William jumped suddenly, spilling all the noodles on the kitchen floor.William looked at her gripping his fist and biting the inner of his cheek. "Why are you awake?" He asked."Because my body is fully rested."“Sadly. How is it supposed to be opened? ” he questioned miserably with the roll of his eyes.“Read the label, smart guy,” she answered, the noodles that were still in his hands before he spilled the restm“Oh and you are cleaning that up,” he added. "Why did you have to be right? If only I just read the damn package."“Did you just say I'm right?” She gasped and stopped chopping seasonings immediately.“Yes. Is that hard to believe?” he answered under his breath, with slouched shoulders.“Please stop slouching your shoulders,” Reign commanded. “And yes, it’s hard to believe. You’re a narcissist.”“Now that hit deep,” he raised a brow at her, doing a mimic of a sad face.“Stop being a baby, Grinch,” she rolled her eyes.“I’m not a baby. You are. You are a nonchalant, unattractive, chatty woman baby, trouble,” replied out of the blue.“Are you trying to be funny?” she mouthed him.“Why would I, with you. You lack a sense of humor,” he replied infuriated.“Guys?” Elijah interrupted.“What!” they answered simultaneously.“The pot!” he yelled. “And it seems as if your guest is here.”“Get the door, will you, Elijah? I have this douche to finish off,” she pointed at William.Elijah ignored them both. He swung the cabin metal door open. Doing the first thing he always does; he observed the guy with long black curly hair wearing a creamish- greyish hoodie and in both hands were his duffle bags.“Dominic?” he asked before inviting the guy in.“Yes, where is Reign?” he asked, stepping into the cabin.“Arguing with William,” he pointed towards them in the kitchen.“He’s the ass?” Dominic asked.“Yes, for her he is,” Elijah answered flatly..Elijah, Amber and Dominic sat on the stools at the island listening attentively to the two ongoing blabbering. They were just a breeze apart; William looked down at her face towering over her, while Reign tiptoed before she climbed on top of one of the stools. Her slippery socks made her slide and fell off the stool on the ground. Her body thudded to the ground and she shrieked loudly.“Crap!” William yelled, rushing towards her and slid his hand under her head before it hit the ground.Her knee cap hit the foot of the stool with the rest of her body crashing to the ground without guard. Her entire body was jerked and she grunt from the immense pain she was feeling.Dominic rushed over to where they were but William moved his hand away and carried her to the couch where he almost tripped over the spilled water on the floor.“Can one of you wipe that up?” William shot the two guys disapproving looks. "Now!"William gently laid her now fragile body on the couch, demanding that no one touched her. He went upstairs, got some sprain bandages, pill and went back downstairs.“Does it hurt?” William asked gently, wrapping her knee. She flinched and that was all the answer he needed.“I can help,” Dominic offered.“No thanks, just finish dinner. I assume you can cook?” William asked.“Yes,” Dominic rolled his eyes. "But only Reign can boss me around.""I never ask you that," William responded, eyeing him thoroughly.Dominic nodded no.“Well then, I expect our dinner in an hour's time,” William spoke, then picked up sleeping Reign and left. “You two clean up the mess in the kitchen also.“Did he just order me around?” Dominic asked Elijah.“Yes, he did. The both of us to be exact,” Elijah replied.“He is so lucky I'm hungry and he is super lucky that Reign is injured.""And I'm going to check on mom after you guys mop the floor." Amber said, folding her arms. "Chop Chop."" Who left you in charge?" They both asked her"William," she replied."No, he didn't." Dominic argued with her."Yes I did." They heard William yelling from upstairs.Chapter 7 - Healing Awareness is the first step in healing - Dean Ornish ~***~ “Reign! Why are you so stubborn!” William yelled at her. “Look what you are making me do. I don’t shout or raise my voice at women but you had to bring out the worst in me, huh?” “I just wanted to go with Dominic and Amber,” she answered, frowning. “And it was already there you just chose me to try and control.” “You can go another time. You keep forgetting that you can hardly walk,” William sighed. “How are you going to heal, when you keep irritating the bruise and your sprained ankle and knee?” It has been two weeks since Reign slipped and fell in the kitchen. Each time she was about to heal, she disobeyed William's order resulting in her being in bed longer. It was now the first week in December and William and Reign were still at each other’s throats, not as much thorough. He became sad when she started walking a little because he could not take care of her anymore. It puzzled him as to why he
Chapter 8 Past with VictorReign was far from happy about her situation, whereas, she had to abide because she could not do anything about it at this point. She hated every fiber that made up William, at least that’s what she tells herself. His behavior reminded her of Victor in a lot of ways but mostly with their usage of ‘power.’ From the looks of it William had money, and with money they all believed they could control others.~***~Shortly after she took Amber as her own, her parents were exploding, especially her mother. She did not let a day go by without telling Reign she stained their family’s name. Victor was the owner of the hotel in which she applied to be a housekeeper and in less than three months, he had taken a liking to her. More than just employee-employer liking. And pity Reign did not know that in this moment her life would change for the worst.She wanted to make a great amount of dividends to provide for Amber and send herself back to school. She was almost th
Chapter 10 - DenialDenying the truth doesn’t change the facts - Picture quotes~***~They made their first stop at a haberdashery; Reign wanted some crochet needle and thread. She made her way to ask William something but he walked away when she approached him. What’s his problem? She asked herself. It continued throughout their shopping. When they made their final stop to get Christmas decorations she went next door in a bookstore for a pack of blank paper. Forgetting if ink was in the printer at the cabin she made her way to the door when the owner’s son stopped her.“Stealing from a book store, pathetic girl?” the guy scowled at her. “I’m not a thief. I was about to ask that guy over there if ink was back at the cabin.” she pointed but he did not look . He grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the shelf and ripped the pack of paper from her hand. “I’m going to tell Willy. You hurt mommy.” Amber dash outside the store. “He’s going to be my daddy.”“Daddy? What daddy? Reign aske
Chapter 11 - Awkward moments I tend to be awkward if I find you attractive - Unknown ~***~ Reign’s Pov Ever since Chleo came out about William liking me; it has been hard for me to even argue with him. I still called him Willy Winnie the Pooh, but facing him was another problem. Whenever he was around me I normally tense up or choke on my words. So, I have just started avoiding him. Yes, I know it’s childish but what else am I supposed to do? It’s too soon, Isn’t it? I mean I just walked out on my wedding a month ago and during that period I’m thinking about another guy. Should I stop avoiding him and talk to him? No, it’s going to be too weird. People fall in love at first sight, get married and last but not everyone’s fate is the same. I’m scared of rushing and also scared of not taking the chance. What do I do? Help me, someone. “Shit! Shit! Shit!” Reign muttered under her breath. “What is he doing to me?” He's shirtless drinking coffee on the front porch, leaning against the
Chapter 12 - Knowing each other I can’t say how much I like you and how special you are to me, but I can say my world is full of smiles when I am with you. ~***~ He gently rewrapped her sprained ankle that got irritated during breakfast this morning. He massaged gently where the swelling was obvious, his touch was tender and caring and she relaxed under his touch. Reign was no longer grumpy from the pain when William finished massaging her ankle. “Leaving already?” she asked, feeling lonely when he headed towards the door. “I’m going to do some work, I’ll be back,” he smiled at her. She melted when he came over to her and kissed the top of her head. “Thanks for the laptop and phone. You did not have to,” she replied. He asked Elijah to buy a laptop and phone for her earlier when he went into town to keep her company since she kept using theirs. “It’s okay. You needed them,” William replied. “Mind telling me what you do for a living or what you want to do in life before I leave?
Chapter 13 - Waiting Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known - Sharon Begley ~***~ William’s POV I stared down into those alluring eyes of her’s. They were nothing less than bewitching; just a glimpse in those will have you captured and falling. She told me a girl would be a fool to decline my date offer nonetheless she has not given me an answer yet. For the few days that followed I gave her space, the only time we were together was when everyone else was in the same room as us. She normally looked everywhere but at me. I tried to do the same but failed as expected; how is it easy for her not to look at me and I’m sitting here staring at her nonstop. She’s fucking contagious. I ruffled my hair; well, what’s left of it. She hugged her body as the window flew open and a gust of wind danced through her hair, her face went red and she shivered. I hissed and locked the window; everyone else just stared at the window. Thank God for Reign, they would be here freezing the
Chapter 14- Opinions Everyone has the right to their own opinion, yours is just wrong - Unknown. ~***~ Reign’s POV Thankfully, Amber was fast asleep, the rest of the guys were upstairs in the game room. I prayed that they did not come down and become nosey, this was my actual first date with Willy and first date since Victor and I honestly want it to go well. I will probably explode if it does not go well. Despite being a nonchalant person, William was a gratifying person, easy on the eyes and did I mention how sexy his voice was when he called my name? The touch of his hands on me gives me goosebumps and whenever his hands leave my waist my whole body aches. It’s true that a person you have known for a short period of time can make you feel something a person of years failed to do in every way you could possibly think of. After having dinner and making small dinner talks we sat on the porch seat, drank wine and looked towards each other. The still sharp and new winter night w
Shopping ~***~ The third week of December came, it was a bright but snowy Saturday and also Reign’s birthday. Thankfully they took Dominic’s advice and went shopping early. The place was crowded even though it was early, there was no space in between people. It feels like a four wall house closing in that has no window or way of escaping. You are just suffocating.The streets were all packed like sandwiches in a small shut dish. After stopping at the final store to pick up some christmas wreath and decorations for the tree. William volunteered to carry Reign around the place when her feet got tired and Reign quickly took him up on the offer when they reached the Christmas tree farm. William carried her around on his back and she did not bother to make her body light; she just propped onto his back and relaxed. “What’s at the top of that mountain?” she asked curiously.“Let me show you,” William told her, gently lowering her to the ground and leading her towards the mountain side of
