Richard's POVNo one had told me how emotional it was going to be sending off my family, but this was traumatizing. I was going to keep it locked in for a long while, especially since I had shed a tear or two and Reina had kept on pointing that at me as we made our way to the house. Our home. “They will be fine” She sneered at me. “ I think that I should be the one telling you that because I could swear you need it more than me. I bet that if I wasn't there. You would have been wailing non-stop” she mocked. I toughened up because I shouldn't have shown any sign of weakness at the airport, but this was Reina, and she had seen me in worse state and worse times, so I couldn't see anything wrong with that. “ At Least it shows how much I love them and there is nothing wrong with that” I let out a sigh when our home came in view, and she held my hands tight. “I bet Daisy cannot wait to see me. I am going to talk to her about how you have been hard on me on our way here, and she is sur
Reina's POV The dry chokes that turned into full-blown tears drained me as I let him weep on my shoulders. All of his high resolve, his gentle sneering. His cool act that he had been putting up for a while now crumbling when he was in my arms, weeping. “ Everything will be fine” my hands drifted to the plush doll he was holding. His grip on it was so tight that there was no way anyone could take it out. When he was done, he pulled away, his eyes boring into mine. “ Thank you. For this. For letting me do this. Thank you” “It is what I am supposed to do. Make sure that you are fine. That is something I should always do”.I swallowed because it seemed like he didn't believe me, or rather he was still getting over what had just happened “ You aren't entitled to it. I am supposed to be the strong man and not to weep on your shoulders but now… I have messed it up”Placing my index finger on his lips, I nodded at him not to say a word. “Can you be still? I mean, with everything going on
Richard's POV“Yes…” I tapped into the phone as my brows dipped while wondering what exactly it was that she must have called me for. A raspy breath ensued with a gentle snap before I heard a tap on the table. “ Mr. Gray, there is a man in here. I don't know, but he came pretty early asking to meet with your wife, and he has been in there for a while. I have been hearing raised tones for a while now, and so I thought it would be best if I informed you”Something slashed through my heart with my heartbeat accelerating by each second that passed.I asked. “ Does this man have a name? Anything at all would do”“ Martin” something sparked within me as the car came to a stop. My heart ignited with the honking of cars behind me as I swept my gaze around. Swerving off course, I couldn't care about what anyone thought presently as all that was in my mind was how to get across to the Gray's corporation to meet Reina. “ Reina!” My scream bounced off against the wall as my hands gripped the k
Reina’s POV“We can stay back if you are not okay with it” Richard whispered for what felt like the umpteenth time to me, while sniffing on my shoulders. Wincing gently when he bit on my shoulders, I smiled at him, while taking a good look at myself. “You look splendid already, why are you still staring at the mirror when I am supposed to be your mirror?”My teeth dug into my lips, a blush creeping over my face. He was leaning against the door frame, funny how he moved so fast, and I hadn't taken note of it. “Then tell me why exactly is my mirror wanting to strip me naked?” I folded my arms underneath my boobs, probing that. I couldn't ascertain why since he kept touching me and telling me that we could stay home, while telling me his wishes of how he couldn't wait to strip me of the clothes I had on, but something told me he wanted to rip it off instead. “You can't blame me” his scent permeated into my nostrils. His lips hovering on my shoulder blade. A moan escaped my mouth wh
Richard's POV I had thought that if I had it, I would feel better. At least, I won't feel this ache that I was feeling presently but it seemed all of that was a lie. When I had gotten wind of it, I never knew that it would be my family heirloom, but now I wondered what exactly was in there. The information that was hidden within, that had made the dark organization want it by all causes. I was saddened at the realization that this was my life and I had to make do with what I had. My stomach twisted, and I could feel pain and all that I wanted was to see Reina. I had left her while she was sleeping even when something told me that she wasn't, but I couldn't go back now. The moon had slipped in, and the auction was everything that I had wanted it to be. I was in pain but at least, I would feel better as well. My brows knotted when the bell chimes and my eyes went to the wall clock. It was still late so what exactly would someone be doing there? A gentle tap on the door ensued with
Richard's POV“ What exactly are you saying? How dare you threaten us?” Martins raved. Does he know how he looked right now? If he did, he would have sat his ass back down on the chair and not moved an inch from where he was seated. He continued, “ Your family heirloom? How exactly do you know that? Let me guess, you are one of those people who are plying fake news? When exactly are you going to learn?” He forced a fake smile on his face. “ If it is, then why do you all look this agitated? I will be nice. Leave now, or I will let my dogs feed on you” I threatened. It wasn't a threat because my rage right now was enormous, and I could do it. Make sure that they all burnt to hell for it. “ You wouldn't” I bobbed my head, a bit startled and curious about what their faces would look like when my dogs were biting on their petty bones. Would they cry? Would they wince out in pain? Or plead for mercy? I was curious to know that. “ Then stay,” I sauntered toward the door.” Because I wi
Reina's POVNever had I seen him this hurt before, maybe when I had left, but this was something else. His grip tightened around mine as he kept gnashing his teeth in anger or was it pain? Emotions twirled through him, anger, anguish, and rage. All of which I could feel, and I didn't want him to feel all alone in this. Contrary to what we were made to believe, his parents had been shot dead and everyone was made to believe it was an accident when it wasn't. My heart squeezed so tight that it seemed it had been punctured. Repeatedly. “ Why? Why exactly would they kill them when they had already let go?” He questioned. Everyone was still because no one had an answer to the question he had just asked. Neither I nor Ryan. We were never going to know how bad he felt because we haven't been in that situation before, instead all that we could do was to sympathize with him and show him that we were here. My hands smoothened his when a tear dropped on it. My heart flattened as I raised m
Richard's POV “You have to come back to me, please” Reina didn't want to let me go. I didn't know what to do but me assuring her repeatedly was supposed to have helped and now… I exhaled deeply before patting her back.“ I will come back to you, healthy and fine. So you don't have to worry about that, okay?” I assured her, but it didn't seem like she was convinced by it.She was still, but I could feel the tiny droplets of tears as they rained down on me. They broke my heart and I didn't like that she was tearing up. I was going to do every single thing possible to be alive, and she knew that. “I know that you have to go right about now but what if something happens, what if I don't see you anymore and gosh…” she kept pacing up and down. She was sure moving so fast and now as I threw a glance at Ryan, I muttered to him about the initial plan of leaving while she was fast asleep, but he had contradicted it and looked at where it had gotten us into. “ I am going to come back to you
