Chapter 56: Gamble

“It’s a necklace from my late grandmother. She told me that I should give it to the woman of my life,” I looked at Reign in shock while holding the jade pendant I was wearing. He was firmly looking at me. 

“Then why are you giving it to me?” my legs are shaking under the round table between us, but I tried to get rid of it. I’m nervous, and my heart was beating furiously.

Reign reached for my hand on the other side and gently cupped it, “Because you are my woman,” he then brought my hand in his face and kissed the back of it without taking off his eyes. I was startled as his lips touch my skin, giving off this warm feeling.

I couldn’t answer because I felt like it stitched my mouth together. I’m having a hard time opening it or even speaking a word. I was staring at Reign, trying to see if he was joking, but it looks like he isn’t.
