Semua Bab Love in the Headlines : Bab 41 - Bab 50

REIGN'S POV “Would you choose not to have arms or legs?” I burst out laughing at the absurd question. Henry was really the most unhinged person ever and he was really random too. I couldn't stop cracking up at his jokes.I thought for a while, “I'd say arms.”“Why?”“I mean I think it would be shitty having to get carried around if I don't have legs..” I shrugged, twirling the wine in my glass. I had not taken more than two sips of it, I knew my limit now. Getting drunk in front of Ivan was okay but I was not comfortable enough to do so in front of Henry. “But you would still have to be helped lifting things if you have no arms.” He said.“You can't change my mind, having no legs is way worse.” I shook my head.“And you still haven't told me anything about yourself.” He changed the topic.I bit my lips and sighed. I had avoided it for so long but he doesn't give up easily. “I'm not really sure what to tell you or what you even want to hear. The good things or my sob stories?”“Ever

MELANIE’S POV I couldn't remember the last time I was truly happy. It was so long ago that I barely have any memory of it. Was it when I was five years old and my mum bought me a chocolate cake, which was my favorite or was it when she praised my first drawing and called it the best she had ever seen even though it was ugly and obviously done by a toddler? After that, nothing could fill up my heart the way those moments did. I loved Reign and she gladdened my heart, however my heart had been scarred for years and would take a long time of love and pampering to heal. My newly developing career didn't make me overly happy as well, after all I was doing it without the support of all the people I loved.I was fourteen when mum died and everybody and everything changed after her death. I stopped drawing, hated the sight of chocolate cake, and forgot the feeling of happiness. Matilda became closed off, she never confided in anybody and that was when her rivalry with me started, my sister

REIGN'S POV I had never been more shocked in my life. Not when I found out my best friend went ahead to date someone I liked. Not when I found out my mother was dead. This one was one that I never saw coming. I had already told myself I had failed and was even prepared to take whatever punishment was given. So what was this new update?“If I heard you right..” I started, picking my words slowly. “The both of you are back together and getting married again?”“Mmm….yes and no. Yes, we are back together and no, we are not getting married, at least not for now. I think the mistake we made the first time was just getting engaged and rushing into marriage. We didn't spend time together or get to know each other at all. This time, we will do it differently. We are going to take our time then eventually get married.” Melanie explained, glancing at Ivan who also nodded.“This is..this is amazing.” I said, still reeling from shock. I should be jumping for joy. I should be glad that I can final

REIGN'S POV I hummed lightly as I placed the popcorn inside the microwave. I was going to have a stress filled day and not bother about anything. I was finally going to use the television like I said I would. I wondered if it had ever been put on. Does Ivan even remember that he had a television?I opened the microwave when it chimed and smiled at the sight of the popcorn. I transferred it into a bowl and skipped out of the kitchen excitedly. Today, I was not going to think of anything. I was going to live like a true jobless woman.If Ivan thought I was going to be running helter skelter trying to get Mel to marry him, then he had something else coming for him. Just like Mel decided to get back with him out of the blue, she would decide herself too whether to marry him or not.I paused as I remembered something. Mel liked someone else, that much was sure. So why did she get back with Ivan? Was it to spite the person or was she just using Ivan as a rebound? My stomach twisted lightly

REIGN’S POV I rubbed my eyes sleepily as I trudged down the stairs. The house was empty as I walked into the kitchen. I decided to just close my eyes a bit and I ended up sleeping until dinner time. I opened the fridge and brought out a bottle of water. Ivan came in, just as I uncapped it. “Hey,” he said as he fixed his cufflinks.“Hey.” I said, drawing it out as I appraised him. “Why are you dressed like that? A special occasion?”“I wouldn't call it special. I had no choice. I'm attending with Mel, by the way. We are going public earlier than we expected.” He shrugged.My heart clenched. What the hell? “I see. I guess you will be the topic of discussion in the papers tomorrow.”“That's unavoidable.”“I wish I still had my job. This would have been so fun to write about.” I sighed dreamily.“Think about it in four months.” He smirked while I glared at him. “I'd be back late.”“Stay out all night, if you feel like it too. It's none of my business.” I shrugged and drank some water.I
