“You look stunning,” Reign greeted me as I stepped on the last step of the stairs. He was wearing a mint green t-shirt and faded jeans while his hair was a little wet. He had just finished taking a bath.
I don’t know if I will answer him. His deep, blue eyes stared at me. Suddenly my chest throbbed as my gaze landed on his kissable lips. Wait, did I say kissable? My God, Ruchee!
I just shifted my gaze to his eyes because when I glanced at his lips, I remembered what happened when we kissed under the sea. My body heats up. Did we really do that? I can’t believe it happened!
He immediately reached out his right hand. I stared at it and directly looked back into his eyes, “Take my hand,” said Reign. His baritone voice filled my
I washed my face in front of the sink. I don’t know what time it is. I woke up early because Reign and I were going somewhere. I do not know where because he didn’t bother to tell me about it. When I finished washing, I reach out for the face towel placed at the top of the sink. After I wiped my face with a dry towel, I stared at my reflection. I drew in air and exhaled heavily. I suddenly remembered what happened last night, which made me blush, and my chest throbbed. I took another deep breath. I will never forget how Reign inserted his hands inside my crop top and touch something sensitive. What is he thinking? I just realized what he was up to when he left the room. He can say it directly without making an example! I can understand by chance. I don’t know, but I was just surprised when both sides of my lips suddenly rose because of what I remembered last night. Honestly,
“Give me the umbrella,” Reign said when we got out of the house through the main door. One of his men handed him the black umbrella.I don’t have any idea what Reign will do with the umbrella. It’s still early in the morning, and there’s no heat from the sun yet. If there is one, it still can’t hurt our skin.It’s already given that his house is big and Reign came from a wealthy family and himself, but I still can’t help and be surprised when I see the whole of this vast house. Significantly, it was located at the top of the island, and you can see everything below.Ostentatious. That’s what can describe the exterior of Reign’s home. The way out of his house was full of Bermudas. Its width is like a manor. I didn’t know that this was the front of his house, surrounded by rare flowers.I can’t even describe the beauty
“Repeat it,” Reign said as I approached him. I looked at him in surprise. “What?” “What you said earlier, repeat it,” “I said a lot. And why? What’s up?” I was looking at Reign with confusion. He was staring directly into my eyes. “I want to hear what you said earlier,” Reign says. His baritone voice was serious, so my right eyebrow raised. “Is it my fault if you haven’t heard what I said?” Reign’s expression changed as the last word slips out of my mouth. I shivered when he suddenly looked at me with a warning. What? “I said nothing about not hearing your words earlier. I’m telling you to repeat what you said,” Reign even emphasizes the ‘repeat’ word. I stared at Reign eagerly. I’ve said many things before; which one does he want to hear? “Is it about you having good people on your island?” Reign’s forehead furrowed.
“What’s your reason to help me?” I asked, trying to act like I overlooked her purpose. It’s given that he like Reign, and I don’t care, but why drag me in her feelings? Sharmon did not answer and immediately turned her eyes to the two guards behind me. She seemed bothered to speak further because of them. “First of all, can we talk privately without them?” I just raised my right eyebrow at what she said. Sharmon seemed afraid that they would hear our current conversation. But maybe, even if I want to get rid of them, nothing will happen. “How can I do that? They won’t listen to me because I’m not their boss, and they aren’t my men. They are under Reign and not mine,” I answered directly. Her expression changed. I don’t like her because she’s something strange. She clicks her tongue slowly. I think she’s already irritated because of what I reacted to, “They will. Just try,”  
“Ruchee!” My conversation with Thraia was interrupted by a loud bang coming from the front door.I saw Reign run closer to the sofa I was sitting on. I also felt Thraia’s sudden stand as she was sitting next to me. When Reign got close to where I was, he was out of breath. I feel like he ran up the giant stairs to reach his house.What’s his problem?I was about to ask when Reign suddenly put his hand on my forehead and moved it to my neck as if to see if I had a fever. Because of what he did, I held my breath. His face was too close to my nose and mouth. I could see how Reign’s jaw went up and down because of the hard breathing he was impulsing to himself.When he checked that I had no fever, he stood up and turned around. I thought he would leave, but he just took a deep breath before returning his face to me. His blue eyes stared with concern.
Chatters. Clanking glasses. Familiar noise, just like the one in the auction, while place was filled with rich laughter from different high-class people. I looked at Reign while his blue eyes were staring at me worriedly.“Are you okay?” Reign asked without changing his worried expression, “Why are you so pale? What’s the matter?” He added while putting his hands on both of my cheeks. I tried to open my mouth, and I was glad that it’d not frozen anymore.“I’ve been working for two years in a luxurious bar, and yes, there’s a lot of rich customers I served inside that place but this event,” I turned my gaze downstairs and observed the people who were out of my league, “I don’t fit in this ball, Reign. Maybe I should just go back to my room and sleep, right? I’m better off there,” then I turned my eyes to him.Reign’s expression
“Oh,” Reign’s mother hissed as she looked at me, “And who is this stunning woman?” she then takes a step to approach me but then, Reign suddenly covered my body with his.“Why are you here?” Reign asked as his baritone voice was guttural. His parents hadn’t answered his question earlier.I can’t see his family’s face correctly because Reign’s body is covering my vision from them. I turned around and saw Reign’s family caught the attention of the people inside this reception. Blaze and Blade are also on the sidelines.I did not utter a word and remained hidden behind. I looked at Reign’s broad back; even a glance at it, you could feel how safe and warm it was. I was embraced by him before, and the thought of it makes something inside my stomach go all out.“Of course, we are here to celebrate our pare
“The lady’s food was mixed with anticoagulant rodenticides,” who’s talking?“A rat poison,” a familiar voice. I slowly opened my eyes. The light blue decor dawned on me. Where am I? I felt a painful sensation in my throat.“Yes, Mister Jaccobich. It’s a rat poison that can end a lady’s life if not treated promptly. Fortunately, I am here on the island. If not, you may be mourning this woman right now,” I looked at the source of the voices.Two people were standing near the edge of the bed I was currently lying on; one was unfamiliar wearing a tuxedo while a stethoscope was hanging around his neck, and the other was Reign wearing a dress shirt.They didn’t notice that I was awake, “Yes. Thank you so much, doctor. You saved my woman’s life. Good to know that you’re a poison expert. So how is she? Any prescriptions
