I want to sincerely apologize for the long break in between me posting new chapters. Unfortunately, what was meant to be a small op and a week break to heal, turned into a bigger issue and a longer break than I anticipated. I’m slowly getting back into typing, trying not to strain my hand. Please bear with as I do my best to update as often as possible until I’m fully healed ❤️###############################################################################Reyna POVI smiled at him and addressed the crowd. I apologize, not so sincerely. Pretending that my intrusion was clearly a coincidence and ask him if he would like to go on with what he was busy. I know his not going to continue, I’ve just ruined the mood and I couldn’t be happier.I finish with the pleasantries, I’m in a hurry to speak to Rodrigo and his father in private. Before leaving the stage, I walk over to him, and invade his space. I’m so close to him, I can smell his cologne, it’s always so intoxicating and for a minut
REYNA POV He subtly tries and changes the topic, trying to get me to remove my mask. How sad, his trying to play mind games with me. I cut him off, make it clear to him that the only way he is going to see my face is on our wedding night. He says nothing at first, staring blankly at me. I think his still lost in his thoughts, I wait for him to focus on me before I finish off with a bang. “Come let’s have a drink while we are waiting on Carlos to bring the marriage contract”. I drop the bombshell waiting for another tirade to erupt but surprisingly he just glares at me and walks over to the bar area. Was it that easy for him to accept his fate? My mind in wondering. I watch him as he takes the tequila bottle from behind the bar and chugs a heavy shot straight from the bottle. Not bothering to offer me or pour me a glass of whatever is behind the bar, he takes the bottle and comes back around to the front to face me. I grab the bottle from him and take a big gulp and return the bott
Reyna POV As I sit on the side of the bed, watching Rodrigo squirm with the cuffs, trying to sit up. The menacing glare in his eyes causes my heart to stir for a moment, but I quickly bury my emotions and slip the mask of the Mistress back on. “Stop wriggling and moving, all you going to do is hurt your wrist, it’s not going to help you get loose”. I stare at him and take another sip of my coffee. “Would you like some, Sara has brought up two cups of coffee”, smiling smugly at him while he just glares at me. He looks at the coffee in my hand and then nods. I get up and walk over to the tray and get his cup, I walk back to the bed and hold the cup to his mouth so he can drink from it. “You could remove the one cuff at least, I mean seriously, where am I going to go if you are holding my whole life ransom” the irritation noticeable in his voice. I stare at him and decide that there is no harm in taking the one cuff off. I get up, put both cups of coffee on the night stand and take
Rodrigo POVI watch her face as I lay my feelings on the table, hoping to get some kind of reaction from her but her face remains expressionless, she truly has mastered the art of masking her feelings. The Rey I fell in love with use to wear her heart on her sleeve and her face would be a mirror for all her feelings. However, the woman I’m staring at now seems devoid of emotions, but I know her better than anyone, better than she knows herself and I can see her trying her best to keep her mask intact. The fact that she hasn’t pulled her hand away from my touch, means I’m right, she still has some feelings for me. She yearns for my touch as much as I desire to touch and devour every inch of her body.I notice that she is keeping quiet, her eyes show she is wrestling with her feelings, and I take the opportunity to lean in and kiss her soft, plum lips. Praying internally that she doesn’t pull away. I feel she is hesitant to kiss me back and I quickly move closer and wrap my arm around h
Present day It’s a warm summer evening in Manhattan, the roads are unusually quiet, its 3:00AM and the moonlight is streaming in through the window on the 10th floor apartment’s bedroom. Sleeping alone in the apartment is a beautiful young lady. The moonlight is shining directly onto her bed and her pale, flawless skin is shining in the moonlight. Her long honey blonde hair is spread over the pillow and partially covering her small round face. Her pink heart shaped lips seem to be pouting in her sleep, its pressed so tightly together. Her closed eyes with its long lashes can be seen moving underneath the eyelids. She is shivering in her sleep even thou the night is so warm. She looks like a real sleeping beauty lost in a dream or is she lost in a nightmare…. “Please stop, it hurts so bad, I can’t take it anymore…, please I’m begging you, just please stop…have mercy on me…” Her quivering voice can be heard by her tormentor, who just stands and stares at her with no expression on his
Reyna hears her alarm going off in the distance, she is trying to block out the sound when she finally realises it’s her first day at work. “Shit”, she stumbles out of bed when she checks the time on her phone. It’s almost 6:30AM and she is meant to be at work by 8:30AM. Hoping an hour is enough time for her to get done for work, her commute is going to be at least 45mins, so she needs to rush to get done. Stupid nightmares, if it hadn’t disturbed her sleep last night she would never have slept so late. “Anyway, no use stressing out about it now, let me just get done!” Luckily, she decided to take her clothes for work out the night before, she ran into the bathroom, took a quick shower and did her morning routine. She grabbed the navy-blue vintage O-Neck pencil dress, it stopped above the knee. She paired it with a Blue, suede, pointed 6inch high-heel shoe. Being 5’4 she loves high heels. She then puts her hair up into a neat bun, pulling a few locks out to fall to the side of her
“Come with me, let’s get your contract and paperwork done with HR, the three-month contract is over and above your contract for the PA position”. Reyna gets up and follows Mr. Reynolds to the HR office, which happens to be on the same floor. As they are walking past the elevator, they hear the elevator doors open. They turn around to try and see who is getting out, but their line of sight is blocked by two big, scary men wearing black suites. Someone gets off after the two men and it seems his presence can be felt in the office, the whole floor goes quiet, you can hear a pin drop. Reyna see’s Mr. Reynolds is walking to HR without stopping so she follows him even thou her curiosity is getting the better of her. As they walk away, Reyna hears a man’s voice, greeting the staff. Must be the new CEO, seems everyone is greeting him, but you can feel the tension in the office. She realises she never asked who the new owners were and the name of the CEO taking over. Something is nagging at
“Ok, Sir, I will tell him”. He turns to leave the office, and, in that moment, Reyna processes the surname, did he just say Reyes.Oh lord, please don’t tell me its Rodrigo, Reyna looks up at the man by the window and as he turns to look at her, the hate for her showing in those beautiful grey-eyes. Reyna needs to hold on to his desk to steady herself, hoping her legs don’t give in.She is shocked to see him after 5 years, she wants to run out of his office, just from the look he is giving her, it takes all her willpower just to stand there and not bolt.“Heaven help me, why is fate playing such a cruel joke on me, why him of all people, have I not suffered enough”.The person standing in front of her is Rodrigo Reyes, 28 years old, CEO of Reyes Holding, one of the largest group of companies in both America and Europe. Reyes Holdings is a family-owned enterprise and at the head is Rodrigo Reyes, he was promoted to CEO two years back and since then Reyes Holding has been going from str
