Novel & Cerita Taking The Reins Book

She leaves the room and I sigh loudly. "Do you really want me to take them?" I ask them. "I think you should. If you don't like how they make you feel them you can stop, but what if they actually work?" Nathan says as he holds his hand for me to hold. They've both learned to let me make the first move when touching so I don't startle. I put my shaky hand into his and he tightens his grip which stops some of the shakes. I hold Cole's hand too on the other side and start thinking about the pills.

“Let’s see who breaks first.” Silence. Long. Heavy. Then— “Conditional agreement accepted.” I exhale slowly. “Good.” My heart is racing. But I don’t show it. I walk toward the chair. Step by step. Deliberate. Controlled. Not forced. Chosen. Because if they think they’re controlling me— they’re wrong. I sit. The restraints snap into place instantly. Cold metal locking around my wrists. My ankles. My chest. The wires connect. Sharp.

The mother who said she was enough. All she saw were judging eyes. All she heard were silent accusations. All she felt… was betrayal. Her laptop slipped from her hands and hit the floor with a dull thud. Clara reached for her shoulder gently. “Nina… maybe next time. Don’t give up, okay?” That was it.The final knife. Nina pulled away from her touch as if burned. The board chair cleared his throat. “Well, I suppose we have our answer. Clara Brooks has displayed exceptional initiative and vision. She clearly understands what the company needs.”

"There, there—since we did go on a date, I'll toss you a bone. Take these and chew on them. Stop embarrassing yourself here and get lost." The buns fell to the floor, rolling twice and picking up dust. I looked down at them—and then laughed, my anger reaching its peak. 'Very well. If you're so determined to court disaster, don't blame me for what comes next,' I fumed inwardly. I was just about to call for security when Mike suddenly spotted several senior executives approaching from a distance. His expression flipped instantly as he hurried over, all smiles and obsequious charm.

Haltz must be smart to maneuver if they do not want to lose their dominance or even undermine their power. #to be continued in Chapter 1.1 - Raizel Harrison de Haltz

“No matter what. Do not let the chairman go.” Ending the call, they both Lindsey hurry to the company as nanny Ester assured her that she will be taking care of the twins. Went through some ups and bums along the way. A trouble that is beyond unreasonable. Cath runs fast to the company and in the time where the chairman’s car is heading out. Brian still convinces the chairman but fails to do so. She closes her eyes for a second, and opens them with a stern expression, jumping in front of the car with her arms wide.

“It’s a scary treasure indeed…” “Well… I don’t have to worry about that since I’m already worthy to wear it.” Cillian then wears the ring in his middle finger in his left hand. When he was wearing it, the mana was somehow leaking out but he managed to suppress it easily. “There… It doesn’t look bad on me.” He took some relics displayed and puts it inside Cotton’s space storage. He didn’t take everything but only took what was necessary for him. “So, what are you going to do now?”

I hoped I was right. “Deal, you will be mine when we get back, and I will spare your Master.” Dominik said. Relief flooded through me. I was still in the grip of a monster, and who the fuck knows what would happen to me after all this was said and done… But Rowen would be safe, and that's all I cared about. “Andres, give me the notebook.” I said. “Not a chance, Human. You can read it from where you stand.” He snarled, holding it up so I could see.

“Can we not talk about this right now?” Cassandra shrugged. “I am ready to listen whenever you are ready to talk.” She took some eggs from her plate and put them in his; when he looked at her, she flashed him a charming smile. “Eat up and don’t think about it.” She faced her food and kept eating while he watched her. She was drawing him in, in more ways than she knew, and her grip on him was tightening with time. It was something he couldn’t control anymore. He had always been in control all his life, but Cassandra had taken that rein from him since he met her, and all he did was obey her every fucking wish, but he didn’t mind this time.

I returned and moved to return the book from where I got it from. "So, I'm assuming it's lunch break" I said to Narin when I returned to the seat. "Yes, let's go" she stood up and led the way out of the library. School activities finally came to an end for the day and I returned to the dormitory with Narin. "Three days and you would be free to use your powers as you please" I commented referring to the punishment every one of the rebels were individually serving. "Can't wait" she groaned and began to take off her clothes, I soon joined her.
