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
Richard's POVI was done with one, but I had one more, one more that needed to go down. For that, I will have to go to the dark organization, it wouldn't be an easy target like Martins had been because it was vast, and it wasn't going to be easy to get in. I was going to desecrate that place, the very one that had killed my parents. The one that I was supposed to head over after my parents, and I didn't know if I wanted that. It didn't boil well with me and now, I was left contemplating on that. “ What is it going to be?” We were a few minutes away from Martin's house, but we could still see the thick smoke which was visible from here. “ The bodies? The fake one? Did you place them in?” “ Yes boss” “ Good” they would be various interviews to find out what exactly had happened to him and I didn't want anything pointing hands at me Luckily, I had ample time to get my men on this case as well. It was working out fine for me. What I had to do was get in contact with them later and m
Reina's POVSleep eluded me because I couldn't think about anything else aside from Richard at the moment. Was he fine? Was he okay? The one at Martin's house was successful? I had seen it in the news and everyone kept blaming him on how careless he had gotten. He had been blamed and numerous girls had come out to share how bad of a person he was and how he kept asking them for sex multiple times with gruesome demands, and I didn't know what else to say. Was I supposed to be scared of Richard? And what can he do? I didn't know but all I needed was for him to come back fine and strong. “ Take a chill pill, you are pacing up and down, and you might end up being dizzy, don't you want Richard to see you fit and fine?” Ryan chipped in. I tried to be calm, but I just couldn't. How could I when Richard wasn't here yet and what exactly was he up to? I gulped in, downing the glass of water Daisy had left a while ago. It was sure coming in handy now. “ Thank you, Daisy,” she nodded at me w
Reina’s POVI clung onto him like my life depended on it. Everything was breaking apart for me. First, Richard, it wasn't clear to me why but guilt clawed at me, it threatened to tear me apart as I blinked repeatedly. My hands ran through his face once more with tears streaming down my face. Footsteps echoed down the hallway, “Shit” Ryan cursed, his knees dropped to the ground beside Richard as he tilted his head at me. “ What happened? Why is he!? What has gone wrong?” I swallowed my words in because I didn't know what to say, was I to say I had messed things up? It seemed to be something that I frequently do, and it was getting out of hand already. “ Somebody should call an ambulance. I will go with him to the hospital with you and Darren and the other men will tidy up the hall, it wouldn't be nice if the police walks in here and see blood littered all over. They would want you to explain, which we can't afford“ he let out all at once. I bobbed my head when I thought about it
Reina’s POVRyan had insisted on me changing my outfit before going for my checkup. He was just beginning to panic too much, and whenever I tried to rebuff, he would bring up the word that Richard wouldn't want me doing that. Moreover, it was mandatory for me to do so. The press might be snooping around for something, and seeing me sauntering around in a gown covered with blood would surely raise brows. Daisy's hands gripped mine, she had a smile on her face. My silent sobs had stopped, and now I felt better. Gloomy yes, maybe it might be worse, but for now, just knowing that Richard was out of danger was better. Ryan had walked away shortly afterward with the excuse that he had to make sure that Darren had tidied up things the way he wanted. I made a mental note to tell Richard all that he had been doing, having a friend just like him was everything. He had done most of the work, while trying so hard to stay strong. I could bawl my eyes out, but he didn't. He had let everything w
Reina's POV My mother's hand clasped around my wrist as she pulled me alongside her. “ You are pregnant?” She asked as though she hadn't heard earlier. What exactly was the reason that she kept on asking all over again? Shrugging that off I bobbed my heart excitedly. My heart almost spilling over like it had a bottle corked over on it when she said, “ You can't keep it, you have to get rid of it” I blinked repeatedly trying to get it in because it sounded so funny to me all of a sudden. “ Sorry? I didn't get what you had said earlier, I might have heard it wrong”“ You can't keep the baby, Reina. You have to get rid of it” I took a step backward, my heart squeezing so fast that I was finding it so difficult to breathe all of a sudden. Flipping my head to the side, I mumbled. “ No” I rebuffed her. What exactly was she thinking? How could she even say something like that? “ You can't tell me to get rid of my baby. It's mine” I reminded her when she tried to take a step to match w
Reina's POV“ Then why is he taking so long to get up?” I questioned while staring at Richard. Did he hate me so much that it was taking forever? It was already weeks, three weeks precisely, and he was still in a comatose state. Not that it helped, tongues were wagging, people had called, and different media houses had come up with different views of what could be happening, but none had actually come close to what it was. Ryan had kept everything within arms length and had made sure no one provided information. There had been one who had been more concerned about what she would be getting in return and had gone about talking to anyone who cared to know about what exactly was going on, and he had taught her a pretty good lesson. She wasn't only sacked, but her license was revoked, and the news never made it out of the four walls of the media house she had reported to. I let out a sigh as what the doctor sipped in. “ We are sorry, but we have done everything that we can, and it is s
Richard's POV.“ Reina” was the first name that slipped out of my mouth when I gained back my consciousness. My heart spun ridiculously when I didn't see her close to me. My head clouded with thoughts of her and no one else. What if Thompson had gotten close to her? But that wasn't possible, was it? What I could recall last was me proclaiming how much I loved her before slumping. “ Reina” I mustered, my heart heaved so hard that I was finding it difficult to take in air. Everything felt drained around me, and I didn't want to think about anything else. Summoning up strength, I yelled out, “Reina!!!!!” but still, I was left with the space that told me she wasn't coming soon. I flung the dainty cloth over me to a corner and I scurried up while trying to get to the door, but it seemed futile because I was on the ground before I could even make a step further. I let out a hiss when a wave of pain shot through me, before a grunt followed. I had never felt this low in a while. Not si
