Reina’s POVI got dressed in an hour like he said, a simple gown from the wardrobe. I stood in front of my room door, fidgeting with my hands until a guard came for me and led me to the garage.He opened the door to a Bentley, and I realized Rai was already in it. I tried to make myself invisible, but he actually paid me no attention this time, like I didn’t exist. Like there was no presence in his car. It felt relieving but weird at the same time. His eyes always met mine before.We rode in silence for what felt like about twenty minutes till the car stopped. He stepped out and I followed, wondering where we were.It was an open field with a serene environment… There were flowers and a little hue of nature. It felt peaceful. My mind relaxed immediately, breathing in the fresh air.I continued to look around till I found handguns in a carton.My heart sank.“Wipe that fear off your face now, Petalo… at least for now. We are practicing… in a shooting range.”My eyes found the targets i

Rai’s POVI walked out without looking back, my steps steady, controlled, like nothing had just happened behind me, like I hadn’t just stood there watching her fall apart over something as small as a rabbit.Or at least… that’s what I told myself.I didn’t stop. Didn’t slow down. Didn’t care to see what she was doing after.By the time I got into the car, my jaw was already tight, irritation sitting heavy in my chest as I shut the door harder than I needed to.“Drive.”The car moved immediately, smooth and quiet, but my head wasn’t. It kept going back to her.That look on her face.The way she rushed me without thinking, grabbing onto me like I was something she could stop, like I would actually listen to her.I let out a low scoff, leaning back into the seat, my eyes fixed ahead but seeing nothing.A rabbit.She cried for a fucking rabbit.My fingers tapped slowly against my thigh, my expression darkening as the thought settled deeper.Not for herself. Not when she was dragged into t

Reina’s POVI took his used plates to the kitchen before Corinne and a few maids gathered around me.“Reina, how did you do it?I looked at her confused and wrote. “Do what?”“You made Braciole for Boss and he loved it.. it has never happened before. Braciole was banned from making. His mother, may her poor soul rest in peace. She always made it for him. It was his favourite meal and when she died..” she sighed “He asked all of us to make Braciole for him differently, in his mother’s way. He wanted to see if we’d get how his mother made it. Unfortunately Reina none of us got how his mother’s Braciole tasted. He said it was missing something. Oh he got so angry and smashed the table. He even fired a maid and rumor said he killed her. It was a lot Reina“So when i saw you made Braciole and how he stared at it, i was scared for you but he loved it.”“My father taught me how to make it. I just used his recipe” i said“I have never seen Boss look so vulnerable..”“That was he been vulnera

Reina’s POVMy eyes flew open as I sprang up, trying to remember yesterday’s events. The details.Rai had asked me to sleep in here, in his room.My eyes slowly moved to the other side of the bed. It was empty.I breathed a sigh of relief. I honestly didn’t know how I was going to face him. I remembered when I asked him if he ever thought about my feelings and if he brought all the people he owned into his room.I bit my lips. I didn’t know what came over me. I just felt the need to understand if he brought others here, made them sleep on his bed, made them stay close to him the way he made me.I suddenly felt warmth between my thighs.I was wet.What. The. Hell?My hands flew to my mouth.Did he touch me?He wouldn’t have taken advantage of me. He wasn’t that kind of person. But still… he said he owned me. Could he have…?No. I didn’t feel sore. I hadn’t had sex for a long time now, not since I broke up with my ex a while back.I should have felt sore. But I didn’t feel sore. I felt

Reina’s POVI stared at him, trying to understand what kind of man said things like that so calmly. The lake moved softly around us while he rowed like he had not just unsettled me again.I looked away first.I was learning something dangerous about Rai Mikailov. He didn’t always need threats. Sometimes words from him did worse things. They stayed in my head long after he was done speaking.The boat drifted closer to the far side of the lake where tall trees stood around the water. It was quieter there. No guards. No engines. No voices. Just wind, water, and him.I hated that this was the safest I had felt since being taken. He tied the boat to a small wooden post and stepped out first. Then he held out a hand to help me.I looked at it….Then at him.Then I stepped out by myself.His mouth twitched like he almost smiled.“Still stubborn.”I brushed past him.The ground was soft with grass and fallen leaves. A narrow path led deeper into the trees. I didn’t know why he brought me here,
