Chasing my estranged wife: I want you back のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 81 - チャプター 90

Richard's POV.“ Reina” was the first name that slipped out of my mouth when I gained back my consciousness. My heart spun ridiculously when I didn't see her close to me. My head clouded with thoughts of her and no one else. What if Thompson had gotten close to her? But that wasn't possible, was it? What I could recall last was me proclaiming how much I loved her before slumping. “ Reina” I mustered, my heart heaved so hard that I was finding it difficult to take in air. Everything felt drained around me, and I didn't want to think about anything else. Summoning up strength, I yelled out, “Reina!!!!!” but still, I was left with the space that told me she wasn't coming soon. I flung the dainty cloth over me to a corner and I scurried up while trying to get to the door, but it seemed futile because I was on the ground before I could even make a step further. I let out a hiss when a wave of pain shot through me, before a grunt followed. I had never felt this low in a while. Not si

Reina’s POVI could identify the voice wherever it was that I was, and I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me who exactly it was. “ Nina” I was with Richard, who had insisted on coming with me even though he couldn't walk properly yet. “ Is everything okay? You look rattled, and your eyes look dark, is everything okay?” She took a step closer. “ I know that I shouldn't have come here now, maybe it isn't just the right timing, but I had to come to you”“ Okay” If it was pretty urgent, then she could say whatever it was that she intended to say. “ Jackson…. Jackson somehow managed to break out of his cell and his whereabouts are not known by anyone “The first thing I had was a bell chiming before it declined. “ You said what?”Fuck it, I had heard it perfectly the first time, but here I was hoping that maybe it was just an imagination, and it would go away soon.“ Jackson escaped,” Richard uttered before cursing loudly. “ What exactly would he do that for? And now, when my legs stil

Reina's POVAll of Richard's behavior was suspicious, the sudden change when he had asked me to go to bed was what exactly had prompted me not to. I wanted to know where exactly it was that he intended to go, and color me when I saw him ditch the stick to the side before walking out so well. I had almost let out a chuckle and had intended to give him a piece of my mind when he stomped off and something ticked off within me that he was going somewhere. I had followed him carefully, and it led me here, where it seemed they were about to open a can of worms with dirty secrets which I didn't know inside of it. My heart leaped when I flashed back to the fact that Jackson had visited Richard while he was still in the hospital, and now…My eyes penetrated him and all I wanted right now was for him to drop dead. “ You intended to kill him, didn't you?” Richard's face held a shocked expression as he was trying to come to terms with what exactly it was that I meant. “ What are you talking abo

Richard's POV I hadn't proposed the first time because it was an arranged marriage but boy, no one had told me how my heart was going to slam so hard that I might not breathe. What if Reina told me a no? What if she wasn't interested in me? What if all this wasn't what she wanted, and she wanted something else? Maybe, the flowers and fine dining with decorations. Shit, I had messed this up, and I don't know how to make it even better at this point. She looked obviously smitten by it, but she wasn't making a move. I had seen this ring shortly before I went to Jackson's and I knew immediately that it was meant for her. Reina didn't love massive stones. She loved tiny pretty ones and that was the one I had gotten for her. I had ditched numerous suggestions to the wall when I had picked it up. I could still recall one who had told me that ladies love huge stones, but I haven't gotten it. I was so sure that Reina would love it and in excitement had even shown Jackson who had cursed at m

Richard's POVRyan's hands squeezed hard on my shoulders. “ Don't tell me that you are beginning to get cold feet already?” I snickered, pushing his hands off. How exactly was that possible? How would I be having cold feet when I was getting married to the most beautiful woman I had ever known today? The one that I had always wanted to have in my life. “ Is that even possible? It is Reina we are talking about here, and she has been in my life for ages, I have always wanted to have her back in my life, so why would I?” I tried to get a smile on my face to get his mind off how sweaty my palms were. Was that even possible? I didn't want to even think about that because no matter how much I did, it just doesn't seem right at all. Reina was everything I have always wanted, so it wasn't even possible that I was having cold feet right about now, and I knew that I had to be something else. Yes, that had to be it. Gosh, you can do it. I kept on cheering myself. Yes, I can do it. I can do t
