REINAI would have been more mean if I wanted to but I decided not to. Following Ethan up was not that hard to do. I just had to remain calm so that he could get the impression that I was not angry at him anymore.To him, I was a changed divorced woman who would see any man and try to be in his good books.I bet Ravenna would be somewhere plotting something against me again. Well, her cup was going to get filled up soon. It was just a matter of time.We had some mini chats and everything that Ethan brought about was heading towards a relationship.“Is that why you called me out here, Ethan? To start a relationship with you? When you are married? Have you forgotten that we are divorced and I can't go back to my vomit,” I blurted out in anger.Whatever he was trying to do was not going to work. Not this time around.I was more than disgusted that he brought me out at night to say such nonsense to my face.I had never felt this insulted in my life.“I know we are divorced, Reina. I can
REINA“What are you still doing messing around with my husband, you daughter of a bitch?”That was the first question that welcomed me when I resumed work for the week.“Excuse me?” I asked, staring at the already raging woman in front of me.Ravenna was fuming with anger when she barged into the office. I could see the anger written all over her and I knew I had to thread carefully.“Respect yourself, Ravenna or I will call the security to get you out,” I warned her.That was not an empty threat. I would never make any empty threat now as regards Ravenna. She had been in my bad books for a long time now.“Do you think I should be scared because you want to call the cops for me? You call them and explain to them why a wretched divorced woman like you keeps following another woman's husband,” she blurted out.I pushed the chair I was sitting away and stood up to face her. I clenched my fist together, preparing to slap the hell out of her if she utters anything that will make me angry.
REINA“Know what?” I asked. My heart kept thrudding greatly against my chest.What she said made me so disturbed that I began to overthink things.“Don't do this now. You know what I am talking about. I thought you would tell him about the child,” she said.Hearing this again made it seem as if the world stopped spinning for some time.“Why are you so engrossed in my affairs? Why do you care if I tell him that or not?” I asked her and she just laughed.“Because I want to be. You are keeping him in the dark,” she answered.“I choose to. I have my life to live and he has his. You are the only fool trying to spoil things between the both of us,” I sneered.I guessed that push towards the cupboard was not okay enough. She deserved more than that. Something that would bring bruises and injuries to her. I bet that is what she would want in order to keep shut and stay away from my affairs.“I will tell Ethan myself since you don't want to. Trust me, you will regret the day you gave birth t
REINAEverything Bruce said to me made me super happy. It was a thing or joy entirely to see that someone was particularly interested in everything that you did.“I can't wait to see you on that day, Bruce. I really can't,” I said and grinned over the phone.“You have no idea how honoring your request means to me. If I am not there on your big day, I doubt if my mind would be at rest,” he responded.I felt my heart leap as he talked. He had a special way of making me wear a smile on my face for the remaining hours of the day.The big day was already approaching and I knew that I had given this project my best.Anything that would happen that would make this project successful, that I had already put in place.Myself and Bruce talked for a few minutes before the call went dead and I went around my other businesses.***The day of the launching was soon coming fast. The D-day that we had all been expecting. I have been feeling quite skeptical about it for the last few days on this proje
Heart-wrenching Betrayal. REINAI raised my head to find my husband, Ethan walked into the living room, arms tucked together with my step sister as I clutched tightly on the wiper I had in my hand as my heart wrenched in pain at the sight.“You’re back….” I tried to ignore the sight of my husband being so close with another woman and tried to welcome him warmly but he slammed a file on the table, Interrupting me coldly. “Sign it.” He commanded as I saw the smirk on my step sister’s face.My gaze diverted to how she held onto Ethan. This wasn’t the first time I have seen them been so close. I have had to endure the sight of them always together for the past two years even when he was married to me.I bent down to pick the file and opened the driest page. It read Divorce agreement! The file slipped off my hands due to choke. “What the hell are you doing?! Sign the fucking papers and get out of my house, you filthy whore!” My husband breathed in rage, impatience tinged his voice as I ra
REINASIX YEARS LATERAs I catwalked with confidence, my suitcase beside me in the airport lobby, I scanned for any sign of Bruce, and there he was with a cardboard over his head that read “Welcome Back, Reina.”I smiled and walked up to him amidst the crowd of people waiting for their loved ones. “Welcome back, Reina,” Bruce greeted, hugging me.“You look….”“Hot?” I winked, finishing his words as he nodded with a chuckle.I smiled, flipped my hair backwards, and removed my sunglasses. “Of course, I can’t still remain the same old Reina they knew before.” I chuckled, and Bruce understood exactly whom I was referring to.“I am just happy you are living well, Reina.”“Living well?” I asked as he took my suitcase, and we headed out of the airport. “I am not living well, Bruce. Not until I have my revenge on those who killed my child,” I said with a chilly smile as Bruce opened the car door to the sleek limousine he had arranged for me upon my arrival.As he settled in beside me and the
REINAI pushed him away when it seemed I had had enough and shot him a glare. “Even if you are a fan of mine, you should restrict yourself from acting so irrational in public, Mr. Steele,” I said through gritted teeth to show how I was pissed at his behavior.“What are you saying, Reina? You’re my wife,” Ethan immediately replied like a little boy who was trying to defend himself when he was already caught in the act.Director Steve's eyes widened at the revelation while my body stiffened in rage.“Ex-wife,” I corrected with a cold tone and smiled when I saw the overall shock on his face.“You know each other before?” Director Steve chimed in.“Yeah, she is…”“Don’t make that mistake again, Mr. Steele. My girlfriend doesn’t appreciate her ex trying to claim a certain ownership over her,” Bruce slipped his hand around Reina’s waist as Ethan chuckled in disbelief and his eyes diverted to the hand Bruce placed protectively over me.Nice one Bruce, I thought within me as I snuggled closer
REINA“You can’t do this, Ravenna.” Ethan made to come close to me, but Bruce blocked him with his hand. “Keep a safe distance from my girlfriend.”“She is not your girlfriend. She is my bloody wife, now you stay away.” Ethan snapped at him while Bruce's stance remained firm.“Don’t act so cute, Ethan. My Sterling Group is as powerful as your Steele Group, so don’t command me like one of your lackeys or I’ll really get pissed,” Bruce warned. When Ethan saw how serious Bruce was, and the small probability of winning against the heir of the Sterling Group, he stepped back but still had his eyes on me.“Can we have a brief talk? Alone?” I could see the pleading look in his eyes.Like hell I cared.“No,” I replied. “If it is about the project, I won’t change my mind.”“Ethan….” Ravenna grabbed Ethan’s arm, who was completely uninterested in her at that point. “Ignore this wench, I will create another project and head it to save Steele Group, trust….”Ethan brushed her off as she staggered
