Chapter 11REIGN'S POV Satisfied with what I have come up with, I placed the board in the corner of my room so I don't collide with it and so it is the first thing I see when I wake up in the morning. It would make me get up fast and get me started on my day.To completely get started on my plan, I needed to learn everything I can from Ivan about Melanie. Even if they were not close, I am sure he would know a few important pieces of information about her. It would also be an opportunity for me to test just how on the surface their relationship was. If he could give me substantial information, then there was hope but if I got nothing, then my work was really cut out for me.I grabbed my phone from the bed and trudged out of the room. I whistled happily as I walked down the stairs, excited that everything was going according to plan. Hopefully Ivan was still in the kitchen. I would hate to have to go to his room. I was not even sure which of the rooms belonged to him. We have never bum

IVAN'S POV I wiped the towel down my face as I shut the gym door and made my way back to the sitting room. I wondered if Reign was in the kitchen whipping up something. I almost could not see the kitchen without her in it anymore.I placed the towel on my shoulder ready to go to the kitchen to see Reign when the woman in question suddenly appeared in front of me, startling me. Thankfully, I didn't have a reaction too big. I had already embarrassed myself enough with what happened yesterday.“ Are you cosplaying a ghost today too? ” My eyebrows raised in question.“ Pull off your shirt. ”“ What? ”“ Pull off your shirt, ” She repeated.She was serious? Was she okay? “ Don't you think I need some sort of explanation as to why I need to pull off my shirt? ” I folded my arms.“ I need to confirm something. ” She replied, folding her arms as well.Wrong move.I can't believe I let my guard down yesterday and got caught ogling her boobs. She was doing the same thing again. Raising them u

REIGN'S POV I woke up the next day with a heavy heart and a heavy body, everything seemed to hurt and it took all my willpower to get me out of bed. I finally stood up and stretched, enjoying the cracks that ran through me. With my eyes still half closed, I trudged to the bathroom realizing how monotonous my life has gotten.My life was not particularly interesting before but there was always a twinge of surprise or something exciting attached to my day which I had to cover. It was a huge contrast to how it is now.I sighed as I put the paste on my toothbrush, raising my head to look at the mirror. I gasped and the toothbrush fell from my hand and landed in the sink, the paste smearing it.My neck was bruised and purple. My hand went to it and I flinched at the tender skin. It hurts. I glanced at my arms as well, seeing similar bruises. Just how hard did he hold me?I exhaled, wondering how I was going to face him. If he had any conscience at all, he would not show his face to me aga

MELANIE’S POVHe was really standing in front of me. The man I must have thought about a million times. The one I wished to meet again more times than I could count. My wish finally came true but I had no idea how to act. How was I supposed to act in front of my ex fiancé’s personal assistant and closest friend who I had slept with? The strings of relationships had my head hurting.“ Have you never seen her before? Why do you look so startled? ” Ivan asked, reminding me of where I was but I could not look away from him. I did not want to look away.Ivan called out my name and said something but I was too focused on the man in front of me to care. I was being too obvious, I was sure but I couldn't help myself. I watched as he argued with Ivan about taking him home while I silently prayed that he stayed.I wanted to see him longer, talk to him longer. Maybe I had finally found the one, and to think he had been beside Ivan all along. How could I have never noticed?Finally Ivan left, lea

IVAN’S POVTwenty five years ago.I laughed as I ran after the ball, excitement making my pace faster. I grinned when I was finally able to catch it. I turned back and waved at my mum. Her smile had me running back to her with my prize tucked under my arm.“ Mum, again. ” I grinned, wanting to continue the game of throw and catch where she would throw the ball while I run after it to catch it.“ Aren't you tired? ” She asked, caressing my sweat-dampened hair. Lately, mum looked more and more frail and I asked what was wrong with her but she just smiled and told me not to worry but I worry. I shook my head. “ No, it's the first time you have played with me in a while. ”“ But your dad will soon be back. You know he won't like to see you doing something so childish. ”The smile on my face disappeared at the mention of my father. I hated him. He was too strict and liked shouting at mum. He always told me to be a man and avoid childish things but I do not understand. I was a child, there
