Hundred ways to kill Ivan

REIGN'S POV “Reign.”They were watching me. Regardless of where I hid, they could see me. They had eyes and ears everywhere, I would never be able to escape from them. What if they were more psychotic than I thought? What if they hurt me just to get to Ivan?“Reign?”What if they hurt Ivan? Were they watching right now too? Should I just tell Ivan the truth? How were they able to see us though? Did they set up a camera somewhere? Does that mean there was a spy in this house? Or worse, the person sending the threats?“Reign!”“Huh?” I blinked repeatedly as Ivan’s worried face appeared in front of my eyes. I looked down at the still full plate in front of me. Right, I had forgotten I was having dinner with Ivan.“Is everything okay? You zoned out for the past ten minutes and you haven't even tasted the food.” He looked between my eyes like the answers were there.I cleared my throat and grabbed my spoon. “Not at all, everything is fine.” To show him that, I ate a spoonful of fried rice

Blood on your hands

REIGN'S POV My feet wobbled as I struggled to pull the door of my side of the car open. My fingers were trembling and couldn't grasp the handle tight. I looked up when Ivan pulled my hands away and pulled it open for me.I was not alone. Ivan was with me.My leg bounced throughout the ride, even placing my hand on it couldn't stop it. I bit into my nails as my thoughts ran haywire, making me even more distressed than I was.How bad was the accident? Was it really serious? I clasped my hand tight and prayed. Mel had to be okay. What would I do without her?“Calm down, Reign. Everything will be fine,” Ivan said, placing his hands over mine. He looked rather calm as he drove but I was sure he was just as distressed as I was.I jumped out of the car as soon as we got to the hospital. I had no idea I could run that fast until that day. Mel needed me.“Please, I'm looking for Melanie Anderson. She was involved in an accident,” I said to the nurse at the reception.She looked through her s

Some other woman

IVAN'S POV I sighed and ran my hands through my hair as the bathroom door closed behind Reign. Every tear that ran down her cheeks were like knives that rammed through my chest. It broke me.My phone rang and I picked it immediately seeing what it was. “Christian, what is it?”“I have a report on the men you told me to find out about. Can you come to the office?”“I can't do that right now. I'm at the hospital.” I glanced at Mel as I said that, the gentle rising and falling of her chest and the beeping of the machines reassured me.“Why? Are you sick? Is Reign sick?” “Not me or her. Melanie was involved in an accident.” I told him. The silence that followed was long and hard and I could hear Christian's heavy breathing over the phone.“I will come over,” Christian announced and ended the call before I could reply. I slipped my phone in my pocket and walked closer to Mel. It was indeed heartbreaking to see her like that. Mel was a ray of sunshine. We have been friends for over seve

Am I the problem?

REIGN'S POV Was I running away? Did I think that leaving would erase what I had done? I clenched the hand I had placed on the wall for support. The message couldn't stop ringing in my head.Mel got hurt because of me.She got hurt because of me.It was my fault. I did that to her.Who the hell did I think I was, crying and holding her hand when I was the person that did that to her?I was not worthy.“The roof top of this hospital is pretty nice and it has a nice view of the city too, especially at night.” A patient was telling another one as they passed beside me.“Oh really? Should we check it out at night then?” The second one replied, their voices fading away as they moved farther away.The last time I had heard people talking about a place and I went there, my life tilted on its axis.Were the heavens trying to tell me something?I made my way to the said roof top, following the signs pasted on the wall.Indeed it was magnificent but also daring. The wind blew, scattering my hai

No regrets

MELANIE’S POV I blinked my eyes open slowly, squinting them as the light felt piercing. I did that until my eyes got adjusted to the light and I could open them fully without it hurting. My eyebrows raised at the white ceiling and I turned my face sideways, taking note of the machine and IV drip connected to me.I was in a hospital.Why? What happened?Then it hit me.I had been in an accident.I raised my hands up, eyeing the bruises lining them up before dropping them back to my sides, sighing as I did so. At least I survived, I couldn't complain, not even when all parts of my body ached and it hurt to move. But it was still uncomfortable to just lie there and stare at the ceiling so I tried to sit up.“Mel!” I looked over as someone exclaimed and ran over to me. Their fast movement made me dizzy so I had to blink several times before I could make out their figure. “You shouldn't be sitting up just yet.”I nodded and did as she said, unable to take my eyes off her. Her eyes were r

Leave

CHRISTIAN’S POV I sat stiffly as I watched Mel gazing out of the window. She hadn't glanced at me once since Reign and Ivan left. Were the city lights that attractive or she just didn't want to acknowledge me?I sighed and rubbed my hand down my face. Who told me to offer to stay with her when she was obviously put out with me? I looked at her when I heard shuffling and I immediately hurried to her side. “Is there anything you need?”She eyed me, like she couldn't understand my over the top reaction. “I want to sit up.”“I don't think you should do that yet. You need to avoid moving as much as possible because of your ribs.” I told her as I ducked to the side of the bed to help her raise it. “Is that okay?”She nodded and closed her eyes again, marking the end of our conversation. She was giving me quite the cold shoulder and I hated it.I had no idea why either. Why she was like that to me and why I hated it so much.“Do you…do you need anything else?” I asked her as I stood dumbly

Persuasion or Seduction?

REIGN'S POV “Don't you think it's weird?” I asked as I tasted the chicken soup. I nodded in satisfaction when the taste suited my buds before dropping the spoon and leaving it to simmer for some time.“What is weird?” Ivan asked, while opening up the flask I will use to pack the food.“Christian and Mel. I just think it is very weird that he offered to stay with her. Or am I just paranoid?” The last part was directed at myself. “I think I am. I mean, what could possibly be between them?”“Nothing in this world is certain,” Ivan replied. “Just like I never thought I would grow fond of you and now here I am. That is why I think anything can happen.”“They wouldn't do that to you.” I shook my head. “That's right. Christian even has a girlfriend. I feel bad for thinking that way about them now.”“They broke up.”“What?”“They're no longer together.”“Woah,” I breathed out. “That's crazy. They looked really in love when I saw them together. Is that really how fast relationships end?”“The

Ugly head

IVAN'S POV “Are you okay?” That was all I could ask. I had no idea what happened. One minute, she was putty in my arms, moaning and whimpering and the next, she was far away from me, staring wide eyed at her phone. I couldn't make sense of it at all. She returned her phone to her pockets when I tried to check what she was looking at, then grabbed the flask and smiled at me like everything was okay, but I could see past it. After that, we made our way back to the hospital.Something was going on and it was on her phone.I had to get my hands on her phone.“Of course, I am,” she smiled and got out of the car.I frowned as I watched her walk away. Why couldn't she tell me what was bothering her? Was I not someone she could depend on? I knew I had let her down a few times but all of them were to protect her.I took the car to the parking lot in a hurry and made my way to Mel's room. Maybe I could convince Mel to help me find out what was going on. But that will be later. I still had to

About time

REIGN'S POV The tension was thicker than my waist. I could swear everyone was holding their breath, waiting for something to happen?This was a meeting I never could have predicted even if I was a seer. How could such a bizarre thing happen?“Father?”“Dad?”Mel and Ivan said simultaneously, each of their wide eyes set on their fathers. Why were they here together? Based on my impression of them, I don't think they cared about their children enough for them to leave everything they were doing to check up on them.“Dad, what are you doing here?” Mel asked, adjusting then wincing at the movement.“Why? Do I need to send you a letter before I visit you now? Haven't you rebelled enough?” Richie Anderson said, walking into the room further.“That's not what I meant,” Mel sighed.“You sustained minor injuries. Why are you moping around on the bed, looking pale? You like to see everyone revolving around you, is that it?” Her father bellowed.My face settled into a frown. How could he say so

My Reign

IVAN'S POV I've had the craziest twenty four hours of my life. First off, I got the shocking news that Mel got into an accident, then Reign tried to take her own life, then my father showed up with Mel's father and now this.We would be getting married at the end of the month? What was this load of crap?“You're joking, right?” Mel's voice shook, her hands clenching the covers around her.“Who jokes with that, my dear daughter-in-law?” My father grinned, spooking me out. I hated it when he showed any hint of amusement. It meant he enjoyed preying on your weakness.“But that's really impromptu. The end of the month is like two weeks away.” She continued her argument but I knew it was futile. Trying to reason with them would not solve anything.“The earlier, the better,” Mel's father replied, this time.“This makes no—”“We are not getting married at the end of the month,” I cut in. “This is something that concerns Mel and I. As the parties involved, we would be the one to decide when
