Heart-wrenching Betrayal. REINA I raised my head to find my husband, Ethan walked into the living room, arms tucked together with my step sister as I clutched tightly on the wiper I had in my hand as my heart wrenched in pain at the sight. “You’re back….” I tried to ignore the sight of my husband being so close with another woman and tried to welcome him warmly but he slammed a file on the table, Interrupting me coldly. “Sign it.” He commanded as I saw the smirk on my step sister’s face. My gaze diverted to how she held onto Ethan. This wasn’t the first time I have seen them been so close. I have had to endure the sight of them always together for the past two years even when he was married to me. I bent down to pick the file and opened the driest page. It read Divorce agreement! The file slipped off my hands due to choke. “What the hell are you doing?! Sign the fucking papers and get out of my house, you filthy whore!” My husband breathed in rage, impatience tinged his voice a

REINA I pushed him away when it seemed I had had enough and shot him a glare. “Even if you are a fan of mine, you should restrict yourself from acting so irrational in public, Mr. Steele,” I said through gritted teeth to show how I was pissed at his behavior. “What are you saying, Reina? You’re my wife,” Ethan immediately replied like a little boy who was trying to defend himself when he was already caught in the act. Director Steve's eyes widened at the revelation while my body stiffened in rage. “Ex-wife,” I corrected with a cold tone and smiled when I saw the overall shock on his face. “You know each other before?” Director Steve chimed in. “Yeah, she is…” “Don’t make that mistake again, Mr. Steele. My girlfriend doesn’t appreciate her ex trying to claim a certain ownership over her,” Bruce slipped his hand around Reina’s waist as Ethan chuckled in disbelief and his eyes diverted to the hand Bruce placed protectively over me. Nice one Bruce, I thought within me as I snuggle

EthanMy knees were almost scared because of how long I had been kneeling in front of Reina.I knew what I wanted and it was her. Yes, I was not going to allow this opportunity to get past me this time.“Listen to me, Reina. Can you please allow me to explain myself?” I asked her and she just sighed out loud. The sigh was so loud that I knew that she was not feigning it when she said she hated me.Her look, her attitude, everything about her portrayed so.“Can you please stop calling me?” she demanded, blasting her angry words against my ears. “Just listen to…”I could not even get to complete my sentence when her angry rage overpowered me, cutting me short from whatever I was saying.“What are you going to tell me now that is different from all the garbage that you have told me?” she thundered.I raised one of my knees from the ground and stared at her in the eyes. Those eyes were still as pretty as ever and it has not changed ever since.I was half-kneeling now and the only thing I

ETHANHeaven knows that the only reason I agreed to her request was because I wanted her on this project.“I'm done with you. I will begin work immediately. As for now, I have other places to go,” she said and left me standing.My phone rang continuously after Reina left and I saw on the display that it was Ravenna who was calling.It felt as though she was monitoring me somewhere and wanted to know how my conversation went with Reina.I had no choice but to answer the call after waiting for so long.“Babe…,” I responded immediately after I answered the call.“When are you coming home? I have spent some time in the kitchen preparing a masterpiece,” she said to me and it was when my stomach grumbled, reminding me that I had not eaten for a long time.“I will be back soon. Just give me time. I just finished discussing with Reina about that job I wanted her to handle,” I informed her about the latest development.And from where I was, I could feel within me that the mood on her face chan

ETHANRavenna came in, flinging her bag on the bed, I stared at her outrageous character as she walked in.“Are you okay?” I asked her and she just murmured something that I could not hear.Fine. I shrugged and fixed my eyes on the television in the living room. She was the last thing on my mind right now. I just prayed deep down that she cooperated and Reina was pleased with her.“You don't even care!” she yelled at me and I laughed. This lady was crazy and I need to prove to her that she is really crazy.“What is the problem? You worked with Reina right?” I asked her.“It's obvious, Ethan. You want me to work with her for your own selfish game, that was why you didn't care to ask me how I felt,” she lamented. After she said all that, I knew something must have gone wrong somewhere but she didn't want to spill the beans yet.Reina must have placed her in her place. Somehow, I was looking for a way to get back to Reina’s life and if Raveena was able to do what I asked her to do, Re
