All Chapters of Love in the Headlines : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

REIGN'S POV I shut the door behind me and called out to Henry who was already walking away. Henry turned back and jogged over to me.“I was worried. Where did Ivan take you?” He asked, before glancing at the door behind me. “Were you in there with him?”I glanced back as well, cussing inwardly. “Ah, yes. He needed my help with something,” I said, as I thought of different excuses that could pass off as believable.Henry looked suspicious. “With what?”“A surprise.” I exclaimed. “He needed my help to plan a surprise for Mel.”“Really?” He didn't believe me, I was sure but he didn't say anything else. That made me sigh in relief. “Let's join the party then.”“When are we leaving?” I asked, reluctantly. I wanted to go home already. Henry chuckled. “Soon.”I sighed and held on to his arm back to the hall, where the party was still going on in full swing. Luckily, Ivan’s weird attitude didn't make people look at me differently.“Are you hungry?” Henry asked as he led me to the place wher

REIGN'S POV My mouth fell open in shock. She wasn't upset that I was using her son, instead she just wanted me to like him back? How could someone be so kind?“I…” I cleared my throat, looking at the room, wondering how to reply to her request.“You don't have to give me a response now. You just need to think about it. You don't have to feel under pressure. I am not forcing you.Though I would appreciate it if your response is a positive one.” What was I supposed to do?*********************************************************************I walked into the kitchen and stretched. Everything seemed to have died down and I was back to my usual jobless routine. I looked around, feeling weird. I felt out of place, like I was missing something. Did I forget something?Shrugging it off, I trudged to the fridge and pulled it open, scowling when I couldn't find any milk in the fridge. I checked the pantry as well and we were out of it. That was understandable, after all Ivan and I had been tr

REIGN'S POV I rubbed my eyes groggily and rolled to my back. What time was it? What day was it? I yawned as I sat up, looking around the room like it was the first time I was in here. The air held the woody scent of Ivan, which made no sense whatsoever. Why would Ivan come into my room?The other side of the bed looked rough like someone had slept in it but I shrugged it off. It was probably me just rolling around in my sleep. I grabbed my phone from the bedside drawer as I stood up, gasping as I saw the time. It was already six in the evening. I literally slept throughout my birthday. It was not like anything would have happened if I stayed awake though.I had some unread messages and a few missed calls but I decided to check them later. I was more in need of water at the moment. I messaged my head as I jogged down the stairs, wondering why I had a splitting headache. I paused momentarily when I got to the bar, suddenly remembering how crazy I was to drink half a bottle of whiskey.

REIGN'S POV I pushed the door open and sighed. Today had to be one of the longest days ever. Quite a lot had happened since I opened my eyes, I almost couldn't believe it was the same day. I glanced at the bag containing the gift box in my arms and looked away, the guilt weighing heavily on my shoulders. I was shameless. I shouldn't have accepted her gift knowing what I did to her.The door closed behind me with a click as I pulled off my shoes and trudged towards the stairs. However,the sound of the television made me pause in my steps. I sucked in a deep breath at the sight of Ivan sitting comfortably on the sofa. I was not ready to face him yet so I turned away in a hurry, hoping the television was loud enough to cover up the sound of my entry.“Reign.” He called out, making me close my eyes in trepidation. I had been caught.I reluctantly looked at me, tensing up as he switched off the television and walked toward me. His expression gave nothing away. It was the usual stoic and b

IVAN'S POV I had no idea what I was doing, really or what I intended to achieve with this. Was it to tell him to shut the fuck up? Or to tell him to stay away from Reign? Who was I to give that command? Her father? Brother? Boy…friend?“What the hell do you think you are doing?” Henry asked, glancing down at my hands that were holding his collars tightly before looking at my face.Yes, what the hell was I doing? Was I trying to put myself into more trouble than I already am with my father? He was already suspicious, based on how often I had appeared in the media in the past months. Why was I making it even worse?I released his collars harshly and stepped back, my eyes unintentionally clashing with that of Mel. She looked shocked, alongside a different emotion I couldn't place. I looked away and scoffed, I didn't give a flying fuck what she thought about me or this situation. Christian didn't look any less shocked. I was probably going to get an earful from him as well.“Don't you th
