REIGN'S POV I gasped as I saw the floor getting closer, however I was able to grab a hold of the door handle before my face met the ground, thanks to quick reflexes. I took a deep breath before whipping my head back to see who had pushed me. My face cracked in disbelief when I saw Matilda hugging Ivan like her life depended on it. Ivan looked frozen like he was still processing what was going on.Was she serious? Was she not aware of the kind of person Ivan was? Why did she have to push me away so violently? I was not even standing that close to him.As expected, when Ivan finally realized what was going on, he pushed her away, so hard that she staggered back and fell on her butt.I gasped and gripped the door knob tighter. Everything was going wrong right from the very beginning and shel was to blame for all of these. Who goes to hug a stranger like they were best friends?I glared at Ivan as he moved closer to me and whispered to him. “What the hell are you doing? You're ruining ev

IVAN’S POVI was pissed, fuming, infuriated, annoyed and every other word synonymous to angry. First it was that thing that referred to herself as the better Anderson sister when she can't even hold a flame to a strand of Melanie's hair, yapping her mouth and irritating me.Then it was that overly happy Henry who can't take a hint, talking to Reign when it was obvious we had somewhere to be. That was why I was upset. I wanted to go home already but they had me stand there for minutes while they talked about useless things. He wanted to get to know her better? Doesn't he have any pending work that needs his attention? At least Reign knew better than to take him up on his offer.And what? We were just acquaintances? We were more than that. We were housemates, we were business partners, if we consider the fact that we signed a contract together, regardless of the content. How dare she reduce us to mere acquaintances?Reign sneezed beside me. “Damn, who is cursing me in their head?”I res

REIGN'S POV I was stuck in a dilemma. Ivan’s shirt didn't fit. I mean it did, but half of my ass was out. Going out wearing this means giving a free show to Ivan. I sighed and put my short tights back on. I thought I could pull it off without it. I stopped in front of the mirror and twirled my body left and right to see if I looked weird. It actually didn't, I almost looked…..hot. I was surprised Ivan’s shirt actually fit me and was still not snug on my body, I guess all of those muscles took a lot of space. I took a deep breath, trying to ease the nervousness I felt at having to go out like this. I was covered appropriately but I was still showing some skin, like my thighs. It didn't help either that the shirt smelled exactly like him. It almost felt like he was the one wrapped around me instead. I wish I had something else to wear.“Beggars can't be choosers, Reign.” I mumbled to myself. A knock on the door startled me and it opened before I could even form a thought. My eyes wide

IVAN’S POVI felt my whole body going cold, as if I was dipped in the ocean right in the middle of winter. Why do I always forget? Why do I always get so comfortable that I forget this man is waiting around? I closed the car door and walked slowly to where he was standing, where Reign was standing. Father was looking at her, sizing her up and maybe even thinking of gobbling her up. Reign.“Father.” I said, wanting to take his attention off her by all means but Father didn't take the bait. Reign started to squirm from the attention but she didn't step closer to me, she didn't hide behind me for protection.Father eventually spoke, his icy voice making a shiver tremble down my spine. “So this is it. The journalist.” “Father–” I didn't want him saying anything to her. He could do whatever he wanted with me but not her, not Reign.“What is it you're doing now?” He was asking Reign, putting a stop to my words. “Still cooking up fake news or….sleeping with the sources now?”“Father!” I e

REIGN'S POV “Are you sure this is a good idea?” I bit my lips, looking around the restaurant. “I'm not sure anymore. I feel like we would regret it.”“Please, Reign. Do this for me, just this once.” Mel pleaded, grabbing my hands.“I don't know.” I muttered, looking away. What if it doesn't go as planned?This whole thing started after I expressed my shock at seeing Henry's name on the file loudly. Mel came to know that I had met him before and he was rather friendly to me when we met. Somehow I ended up here in the restaurant where they were supposed to be meeting. How Mel managed to convince me to do this was beyond me.I would be taking Mel's place at her dinner date with Henry. It was risky and I was sure shit was going to hit the roof when her dad found out. However, I couldn't let Mel attend herself when she was so miserable. She liked someone else, maybe even loved him but I was alone with no one in sight. Henry was also nice to me the last time I met him so it shouldn't be a
