REIGN'S POV I sighed as I closed the door again. I leaned my back on it and wondered when this was going to end. The gate to the house was a few minutes away, yet I could still hear their screams and flashes. That was how much they were. Was I going to be confined indoors till all of these settled? What if it never settled?“I told you to stop looking outside, Reign.” Ivan said as he came into the sitting room and saw me by the door. “The situation would get even more worse if one of their drones captures your image. How am I supposed to explain your presence at my house when we currently have a cheating scandal going on?”“I know.” I sighed, pushing away from the door and walking closer to him. “I'm just frustrated. It's been two days and they're still camped out there. They are not showing any signs that they are leaving anytime soon either.”“It's illogical for them to give up that early. Don't worry yourself, my PR team is working actively on a counterattack. It's taking time bec

REIGN'S POV I hummed as I mixed the batter for the cookies. I decided to try my hand at baking today. I was a good cook but I had never tried to bake before. Cookies looked like the easiest to make so I just started with that. After I was done mixing, I put my baking sheet in my baking pan and dropped several spoonfuls of baking dough on it until the batter finished. After I was done, I put it in the already preheated oven and set my timer.“That's it.” I smiled. It looked like it was going to come out good. I pulled the oven mitt off my hands and trudged out of the kitchen. I glanced at the clock and sighed in relief, I was just in time for Ivan’s press conference. I had complete trust in him that he would totally resolve everything that was going on. It has been over a week now with different pieces coming out about us. I was tired already.I settled on the sofa and brought my legs up, wanting to be as comfortable as possible when Ivan shut down the haters. I chuckled at my thought

IVAN'S POV I had ruined everything. Even if I was not sure of the extentent of the damage I had caused before, the amount of comments bashing Reign was enough to tell me what I had done. I fed her to the wolves.But I refused to regret it. I did it to protect her, after all. Father already thought she was dare to me, if I went ahead to defend her after he warned, Reign would be in danger. And I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if anything happened to her because of me. I already had a glimpse of that when I barged into her room after her identity was discovered online. I had never felt fear as deep as that before. Her eyes were closed and her body cold to the touch, it was one of the most terrible things I have ever had to face. Everyone had to think I hated her for her own good.I closed my eyes and turned away from the laptop, unable to read anymore of the comments. Reign was probably reading them as well. I should call her. I should see her. I should explain everything so she w

REIGN'S POV I avoided Ivan or he avoided me, I wasn't sure which was correct but we managed to not cross paths in over three days. The thing with Henry became more popular than I expected, though I was glad it solved my issue, most of it anyway as some people were still bashing me, its popularity was starting to bother me. I had gotten calls from different reporters and talk shows wanting to interview me but I turned them down of course. Being in the limelight had always been one of my worst nightmares.Ivan was right. When the whole thing was over, how was I going to contain it? Those were valid things to worry about, however right now, there were pressing issues at hand, which was finding something to do.I had to find a way out for myself somehow. Though the whole issue led to me temporarily giving up on finding myself, I had taken it up again. Ivan was only keeping me here for four more months for reasons known to him, I already told him I was not helping him with anything. I was

REIGN'S POV The entire surroundings went quiet after the plate slipped from my hands, even the kids stopped playing and looked over to see what was happening. I had no explanation for my extreme reaction. I was just shocked. Shocked to see someone else with dark red hair and shocked to see ivan. I was not sure which of them made me lose control of my senses.“Reign, are you okay?” Roman called out, his voice filled with worry.“Of course. I'm so sorry.” I bent down to pick the glass shards. “Hey, don't touch it.” I exclaimed when Roman bent down as well. “You're going to get hurt.” Thankfully he listened to me and backed off.I kept my eyes on the glass shards, not wanting to stare into the eyes of either of the men. I looked up when a black, shiny leather shoe came into view and I almost fell on my butt when Ivan’s grey eyes stared back at me. Without a word, he leaned down and started to pick the rest of the shards.I couldn't look away from him but I didn't stop picking the shards
