Reigna

“Bye, mommy! Bye, dada!”

Erwin happily waved his hand, while his other is clinging into Lilly who smiled at us, gently reassuring them that he is safe with her in the daycare.

As they boarded the school bus, both Carlisle and I were waving our hands while his arm is on my waist, securing me for the sake of keeping a safe image in front of everyone—especially to the prying children who seemed to mind everything they see from the bus.

Once they were out of sight, I heaved a sigh of relief. “That boy isn’t that eager to go to school back then,” he chuckled, looking down at me with a look of pride in his eyes. “He said he’ll brag of how his mommy came home, so he wants to be in the classroom as soon as possible.”

Laughing at his remarks, my hand made its way to find his, intertwining our fingers as he kept me safe in his grasp. “I don’t think he’ll lose that enthusiasm anytime soon.” Just the thought of his bright smile and little voice, calling me ‘mommy’ every time he sees me, is

  • Seven Minutes in Heaven   NINETY-TWO

    ReignaThe sterile scent of antiseptic filled my nostrils, a stark contrast to the damp, earthy smell of the mill. I lay on a hospital bed, my injured leg propped up and encased in a heavy cast. The pain was still a dull ache, but the terror that gripped me was far sharper.A police officer stood by the door, a silent, imposing guard. I wasn't a patient recovering; I was a suspect under surveillance."How could this have happened?" I whispered, staring at the pristine white ceiling. My throat was raw from crying, from futile shouts in the darkness of the pit, and from screaming at Violet. My hand instinctively reached for my phone, but it wasn't there. It had been taken as evidence, no doubt.Every time the door opened, I expected to see Carlisle, his face etched with worry, but it was always a nurse, or another officer, bringing a meal I couldn’t touch.The silence in the room was deafening, broken only by the rhythmic beeping of the IV drip. I missed Carlisle's warmth, his steady pr

    CarlisleThe drive to Blackwood Mill was a blur of frantic speed, the tires squealing as I took turns too fast, my heart hammering against my ribs. Every second felt like an eternity.The first hints of full dawn were breaking over the horizon, painting the sky in streaky oranges and purples, but to me, it was nothing but the growing light of my worst fears.Finally, the skeletal silhouette of the old mill loomed into view. It looked even more desolate, more sinister, than I remembered. A chill that had nothing to do with the morning air swept over me. "Reigna," I whispered, my voice raw with desperation.I slammed on the brakes, the car skidding to a halt. Flinging the door open, I sprinted towards the mill’s main entrance. The rusted hinges shrieked in protest as I shoved the heavy wooden door inward.The air inside was thick with dampness and decay. "Reigna! Are you here?" I shouted, my voice echoing unnervingly through the cavernous space. Panic clawed at my throat. The dim light

    Reigna“Violet! Violet!”I tried to call for her over and over again, but it’s no use.I lost track of time since the heavy wooden door clanged shut above me, plunging me into absolute darkness. The sound echoed eerily, a final, chilling punctuation mark to Violet’s twisted game. The faint moonlight that had once pierced the mill’s dilapidated roof was now gone, swallowed by the sudden, suffocating blackness.Panic, cold and sharp, constricted my chest, squeezing the air from my lungs.“Please, somebody!” I tried to scream, but only a ragged gasp escaped my lips, lost in the vast, echoing silence that pressed in from all sides. The dust motes, illuminated moments before, now felt like invisible particles choking me.My leg throbbed, a searing, insistent pain that radiated from my ankle up to my hip. I tentatively reached down, my fingers brushing against the rough, splintered wood of the collapsed floor, and then—something wet and sticky. Blood.A raw, guttural whimper escaped me. I w

    ReignaThe afternoon sun spilled through the conservatory windows, painting warm stripes across the vibrant cushions of the wicker sofa.Erwin, nestled between Carlisle and me, was a picture of focused concentration, his tongue peeking out from the corner of his mouth as he meticulously colored a fearsome-looking dragon. Carlisle’s arm was draped loosely around my shoulders, his fingers occasionally brushing against my temple as he interacted with out son.Life has been peaceful—if we don’t go outside, that is.“Look, Mama Reigna! Papa! He has fire breath!” Erwin exclaimed, holding up his masterpiece with a proud grin.My heart swelled. “It’s magnificent, sweetie. The fiercest dragon I’ve ever seen.”My phone, resting on the glass-topped coffee table, buzzed, its sudden vibration jarring the peaceful atmosphere. I glanced at the screen – an unknown number. Frowning slightly, I reached for it. “Oh, that’s odd.” Mumbling to myself, I picked it up.“Hello?”A voice, saccharine sweet and

    Violet"Oh, isn't that just precious?" I cooed into my phone, my voice dripping with ironic sweetness. On the other end, Brenda, my most reliable source in the gossip rags, practically vibrated with excitement."The happy little family outing. Carlisle, Reigna, and… my Erwin." I punctuated the last two words with a delicate sigh, the kind that hinted at a deep, maternal sorrow."The pictures are gold, Violet," Brenda practically squealed. "The public is eating it up. The comments sections are a war zone between your fans and theirs!""Excellent," I purred, a genuine smile gracing my lips – the kind that could charm a viper. "Keep those whispers going, Brenda. Emphasize the ‘unconventional’ nature of their little setup. And perhaps… a little reminder of Reigna’s colorful past? You know, before she conveniently snagged a billionaire.""Consider it done, darling," Brenda chirped. "You always know how to make things interesting."As I hung up, the sweet smile vanished, replaced by a hard,

    ReignaThe park was bustling with the energy of the early evening. Families wrapped in warm sweaters, children running and playing, laughter filling the air. Erwin had been practically bouncing in his car seat all the way here, and now, dressed in his pirate costume, he looked like a miniature hero ready to conquer the jungle gym.Carlisle and I exchanged a look of both excitement and nerves as we held his hands, walking towards the playground."Ready, Captain Starlight?" Carlisle asked with a smile that was just for Erwin, and for a moment, I saw a softness in him that wasn't usually there."Aye aye, Captain!" Erwin saluted, his voice still echoing with the enthusiasm from his performance.We found a spot on a bench, slightly away from the main crowd, but not hidden. Carlisle's hand found its way to the small of my back, a gentle reassurance that was both comforting and unsettling. His touch was a reminder of what we were about to do—make a public stand.As Erwin climbed the ropes an
