My body trembles as I stare at Reign. He was holding the part of his cheek that I slap.
I was surprised about my own actions. I didn’t mean that. My hands just suddenly moved without me being aware of it.
I flinched when Reign looked at me. The pounding of my chest grew louder as if it were going to lose from their cage.
I bit my lip and clasp my hands tightly to restrain myself from shivering. Reign just stared at me and didn’t say a word.
“What?” I said in a questioning manner. Hey Ruchee, do you love yourself?
Are you freaking serious? You’re the one at fault, but then, you have the guts to say something like that? C’mon!
Because of the nervousness that enveloped my body, I didn’t realize that my bite on my lips intensified.
“Ouch!” I tearfully hissed. I immediately touched my lips and felt a visco
I woke up to the noise coming in from my two ears. There’s a commotion happening. When I opened my eyes, I saw Reign and Elliott facing each other beside the door.I immediately raised my hands on my bed to get support from it to sit up from lying down. Because of my forced sitting, I felt pain.I looked at my body. There was a bandage placed on my thighs, knees, elbows, and on my fingers. I also noticed that I’m now wearing different clothes.It’s like a hospital gown. Too light to feel and gives an uncomfortable feeling. I tried to move, and I felt like something was holding my stomach.A bandage is also wrapping my tummy from the back. I couldn’t help but smile. Even so, Reign still treated me. I thought he said to himself that he won’t help and treat my wounds? I never thought that a person like him also have a conscience.“You&
I was left dumbfounded. Party? What was Reign thinking? Why would I go with him to a party? I just recovered from my wounds, but this is the first thing he’d want me to do. I don’t know what Reign’s mind is thinking. Party? God! What am I going to do there? Become a proxy? Pretend to be her lady? I gently touch my chest when someone suddenly grabbed my shoulder. I almost fell with a panic of being greeted by the face full of paint; I mean, makeup. I was surprised when I found out that he was already standing next to the bed. I’m still leaning on the headboard. When Reign asked me to stand up earlier, I didn’t. “Oh, such a lovely face,” he said and suddenly flashed a smile on his face, “I’m Crie, Jaccobich’s personal designer,” his introduction of himself. I just stared at Crie; his smiles were scary because of the thick makeup on his face. Oh, he’s a designe
When they removed the strap from my eye, we were in an area surrounded by white. When I roamed my eyes, I was inside a cabin. I remembered earlier that Reign said ‘Yacht.’This is the first time I’ve ever ridden this kind of ship, but somehow I know something about it because I love to read. Sometimes I reach out about different types of vehicles and boats, so it’s not new to me since I’m also riding thru virtual.I looked ahead and saw the door closed. The sidewall is made of glass but only in a limited length. It’s just a mini glass window or was called a hatch.I sigh because of frustration. I sat up in bed because I no longer knew what to do with what was happening right now. I thought I’d figure out how to get out of Reign’s place.But they covered my eyes as we went out of his house. I can’t find the timing to remove the blindfold beca
I was stiffened. My legs are shaking. What is going on? Why are there gunshots? I thought we were going to the party Reign talks about in this middle of the ocean, but why there’s firing going on?My soul was about to be taken away when someone was banging the door and was forcedly opened. I looked at the person who had caused the door to be smashed. It was Reign, and he’s holding a gun in his right hand.I was surprised while looking at him. When he saw me, Reign walked quickly to me. I just stayed in my position. I was very shocked because it was the first time I had heard a loud gunshot.“Are you okay?” Reign asked worriedly. I wanted to open my mouth to answer him, but I couldn’t, so I just shook my head to let him know that I wasn’t okay.Who would be okay if you suddenly heard a loud bang? I just want to take a nap! That’s all!
I stopped because of Reign’s sudden kiss. Even if we are under the sea, I widened my eyes. Who wouldn’t be surprised if you were suddenly kissed by a man you don’t even know very well. Only name and status in life!I wanted to struggle, but my body was too heavy because of the seawater. When I looked at Reign, his eyes were closed as our lips pressed together.Gradually, I began to feel more comfortable, and my breathing began to improve. I don’t know, but Reign gives me air using his mouth. I didn’t know what to do, so I just closed my eyes to imitate what he was doing.It’s embarrassing to admit, but I don’t know how to kiss. This is the first time someone got close to my body this instance, and someone touches my lips.As I closed my eyes, I felt Reign gently touch my nape. I was surprised because he pressed my face even harde
“Get another lifeboat ready,” Reign said as he cocked his handgun then looked at me. He took me by the right arm and gently guide me to stand because I was still sitting, “and we will hold the enemy here to protect my woman,” the words he added made me blush, but I was confused. Why does he keep insisting to become his woman and saying those words? Is this the sole reason why he brought me to the auction? “Yes, boss,” I turned my gaze on Reign’s back. One of his men was already preparing another lifeboat. Reign was truly authoritative in all his subjects. Everything that comes out of his lips is immediately followed by them. “Look at me,” said Reign. I was surprised as he gently touched both my cheeks and turned my face to him, “Do you know how to paddle?” he asked while his blue eyes were staring at me intensely. I left no choice but to nod. Actually, I do not know-how. If
When I got away from them, my boat suddenly stopped working. I immediately picked up the rowing that was next to me and immediately swerved.But even before I could paddle long, I heard gunfire from the direction where Reign and his men were. I stopped and looked back. I can’t see much, but I know they’re shooting now.I don’t really know what’s going on. My brain has not yet accepted that I have entered a perilous world that I thought only came true in manga and movies.I turned my gaze to the front and continued rowing. I shouldn’t have stopped. I didn’t want to waste the sacrifice Reign made so that I could escape away from them.I don’t know why he’s doing this to someone like me, so I have to answer it all. I need to get an answer from him!“You must survive today, Reign. Because I’m sure wha
Reign got off first when the speedboat reached the shore. He still holds the gun as he reaches out his hand to help me down as well. When I got down, he suddenly placed his right hand on the side of my waist and gently pulled me closer to him.I was shocked at what Reign did. Even though he was hit by a bullet in the left arm, and I knew he was exasperated, his body didn’t seem to be running out of energy. Is he really a robot?I just ignored him. I wanted to struggle, but I couldn’t because I was also losing physical strength. I just turned my gaze to the front.“What happened to you, Sir Reign?” One of the female islanders suddenly asked while anxiously looking at Reign. When I looked at the faces of them all, I don’t know there was a trace of concern as they looked at Reign’s arm with a bullet wound.Reign gently released my waist, but he kept me sta
