Reina's POV Slamming the jar on the table, I watched as the content inside of it spilled, splattering all over the table. "more" I snapped at Jackson who gritted his teeth and didn't look like he wanted to let me have another one. "You will end up getting drunk, and that wouldn't help, so I can't let you have another glass. We both know you have a low tolerance to alcohol and it wouldn't help at this point" I rolled my eyes at him. Richard was giving me a tough time. Just thinking about the fact that my heart still wanted him after everything pissed me off. Why would it still want him after all that he had done to it? Snorting loudly, I stood up, walking toward the bartender when Jackson held my arms, stopping me from taking a step. "Let me" I didn't know how Nina was going to react, so the first person who came to my mind when I felt stuck was Jackson, and without thinking twice. I had called him over. He placed the cup of Martini on the table. " Are you sure that you want t

Reina's POVI stood, pacing up and down endlessly as I tried to come up with different reasons why Richard wasn't home yet. There had to be something. It was days already, and he wasn't home yet. I knew that I was supposed to hate him. I wasn't supposed to feel an iota of pity for him, but I couldn't stop thinking about it, I was sure that that shadow I had seen was his. I was so sure and …I flicked my head around, gazing at the door which was pulled open, the smile that had lighted on my face a minute ago faded when I saw who it was. It wasn't Richard. “ Mother…?” I whispered out loud, wanting to be sure that I wasn't dreaming. She didn't like Richard so the last thing that I was thinking was her being here, so what exactly was she doing here? “ Reina” her arms were open wide apart, urging me to step in. I did just that. Paying attention to how tightly she had squeezed me. “ You are holding me so tight, did you miss me that much?” I said jokingly when she tilted her head to the

Richard's POV“ Reina” I whispered, while trying to sit upright. The room I was in looked desolate, and it showed no sign of her. I sniffed in when memories came running in and with my mouth wide agape, I tried to figure out who exactly it was that had rammed into my car, but I couldn't. It was suspicious, seeing that I had just stepped out of the bar I had walked in, and it might have been Jackson. I didn't want to believe that he could descend so low, but he looked like a man who could do anything just to get her back. “ Be careful, although the doctor said he is fine. You wouldn't want to get him agitated, okay?” I could make out Reina's voice from out there. When the door was pulled open, and she had a hand on the door knob. I watched her reaction, “Richard” she whispered, letting go of the kids who ran toward me before bursting out in tears. “ You wanted to leave me all alone, right?” She questioned. I was shocked because I wasn't expecting the reaction that I was getting. I

Reina's POVI waited, until I couldn't anymore, for Richard to step in with the food laid out on the table, but he didn't. Utterly frustrated, I dropped a cover over them before walking up the stairs while letting my mind wander to what he might be doing. He wasn't picking my calls and there was no way I could get across to him. Sighing out, I ran a hand through my air. Pain gnawed at me as I tried to picture numerous scenes of what he might be doing now, but they count come out properly. I had on lingerie which was covered with the see through pullover I had strapped on when I had heard the honking of a car which still wasn't his. Plopping on the bed, I decided not to pay attention to it before forcing myself to sleep, the night was going to be a long one, so I had to do so. The scent of alcohol drifted into my nostrils, occupying my brain for a while. I tried to think when he heard me tightly. His hands were on my stomach as he pleaded. “Let me please” he exhaled into my ears.

Richard's POVFlicking my eyes open, I tried to get into my surroundings while trying to recall what exactly had happened. My heart skipped as I fumbled around, my eyes gazing around as I tried to search for Reina, but she was nowhere to be found. The room I was in was devoid of her presence, I didn't need anyone to tell me what had happened because it was still running through my head like it had happened today. Stretching my hands forward, I tapped hard on the bell which laid close to my bed, waiting for the nurse to come in. “You are awake” the door had creaked minutes after with the nurse revealing herself as she stepped in. Dressed in blue scrubs and crocs of the same color, I could decipher who she pretty much was. “ My wife, I need my wife. You must have seen her, tell her to come in. I want her. I want my Reina”. She furrowed her brows, like she was having a hard time understanding what I meant. “ Pardon…?” I swallowed, trying to think straight. “ I can't find my wife her
