Reggie Brown was caught and thrown in prison for the second time, but still, he found a way to escape.He was on the run, but I was ahead of him.It's only best we settle this, face-to-face.I got a text from him.[Meet me at the Smiths villa. Let's end this once and for all. Because there's no way I'd allow you have what's mine. Make sure you come alone]I read the text over and over as my car stopped at the front of the villa.Bella might not like this, but I just have to make sure he's out of our lives for good.My phone started ringing."Turn right. The car behind you. That's my car. Get in." He said on the other end.I sighed and dropped the call before going over to where the car was.I got in and we both took a few minutes to give each other a cold look.He was just too obsessed with what's mine."Long time no see, brother." Brown broke the silence, but I didn't blink."Ready for a spin?" His voice sharp.Why don't I like the sound of that?"You called. Why am I here?" I asked
Maya "What's this? Why did you bring her here?" Reggie's ex-girlfriend, Angelica stared into his eyes. "You're the one being difficult. You know how much I love and wanna be with you so bad… Maya, means absolutely nothing to me, she's not even my kind of woman.... You are, I promise to end this if only you promise to end your marriage with my father." Reggie touched her soft cheeks as he let out his worries. Apparently, he was trying to lure her so, she could leave his father and they would get back together since they were lovers until his father got married to her. "C'mon Reggie, you know it's you I love. Your father means nothing to me." Angelica tried to explain. Reggie turned and fixed his gaze on her lovely eyes. "Then why did you get married to him after a week of introducing the both of you? Is it because of his money?" He held her hands but Angelica kept mute for a second. Then he realized the reason for her silence. "It is then, you left our relationship of four years t
The tears in my eyes disappeared the moment Reggie walked in and got close to me. "So sorry I am late," He bowed his head slowly at my grandparents. "-Hey, have you been crying? I'm here now." He hugged me…"Shall we begin?" The priest said, and we both stood in our right positions.He asked me the right questions, which I answered respectfully. But when it got to Reggie's turn, he wasn't responding. "Reggie, I ask again. Do you take Maya Lawrence, as your lawfully wedded wife? In sickness and in health, till death do you path?" I swallowed the lump in my throat as Reggie still didn't give the priest a response. I turned to my grandparents and then to him. I stretched my legs to get his attention, but he still didn't say a word. My body trembled and my heart ached. Why is he taking forever to say yes? Was he having second thoughts?Or maybe he doesn't love me well enough to get married to me.In Reggie's mind; He wasn't sure if he should be getting married to someone he has no fee
"You're outside… and this should be done behind closed doors." Angelica said the moment she got in front of us. She was green with jealousy. Her intention of making a fool of me earlier didn't work. Without sparing her a glance Reggie said. "We are married, Angelica… it's what couples do."He pulled me even closer and kissed me more passionately. He was ready to make her jealous by all means. She couldn't help but look away. She might explode if she continues to watch us kiss. "This is a party, for crying out loud." Her brows furrowed. She tried to hold back the urge of stopping us from doing that in front of her. I paused and turned to her with my arms over my chest. "The same party is our marriage celebration, so you don't have a point.""Wow… Angelica, my wife said you don't have a point." Reggie laughed and raised his hand for a high five.We gave each other a high five and then, I turned to Angelica with a smirk. "This isn't over yet." And with that, Angelica made her way out
Reggie's Pov*TWO MONTH LATER*I was in my office at Smith’s Corporations, when I heard my phone ring. I fished it out of my pocket to answer it."Hey man, what's good?" Brown, my half-brother, greeted me.He is always out of the country. We rarely get to see each other, even though we share the same father. "Do you need something or you've called to mock me again?" I said, fixing my gaze on my laptop. "C'mon bro, are we still about that stuff? Forget it… at least I wasn't the one who spread the rumors about your wife being an illiterate." Brown said mockingly. But I didn't find it funny. "Here We Go Again, listen, She's my wife okay? I love her that way… rumors about her will not change that." I said more to myself than him. "So, you love her now? Since when?" Brown teased. "C'mon man, I'm not in love with her. I love being around her. She lights up my mood. It doesn't mean I'm in love with her. I'm just fond of her, that's all. You know I'm just using her to get back at Angelica
Maya's povReggie walked close and gave his assistant, Arturo, a box[Containing a cellphone and a romantic letter] He whispered, "Give this to Maya," before approaching me."I would keep in touch, I promise." He smiled and kissed my forehead. "But how? Why don't you just take me with you?" I couldn't help but hug him."I gave Arturo something to give you, Wifey. I have to go now. You wouldn't want hubby to miss his flight. right, honey?" Reggie tried to remove my hands from his clothes."No, don't leave me… I beg you." My voice was loud enough to attract people, but I didn't care about their looks.Reggie felt embarrassed by their gaze. He turned and tried to leave."C'mon Maya, this is embarrassing. I thought we talked about this?""Please, I promise not to be a distraction… your leaving would kill me." I cried and hugged him like my life depended on him.The time came for him to get on the plane, as he was the last person.I cried, but it was as if he didn't see my tears... I hugge
The bullet hit me so hard that I fell off the cliff and rolled down the road. A luxury car stopped and noticed me lying on the street. They opened their car door and ran towards me. "Help her. She has lost a lot of blood." A middle-aged man said, and they took me into his car.Upon our arrival at the hospital, they attended to me and the bullet in my hand was removed.And in a few hours, I was awake. I saw a lady sitting close to me.I moved my hand to touch her. She gently raised her head and touched my hair. "She's awake," the woman smiled and turned to the middle-aged man. "Who are you people? And where am I?""We will explain everything the moment we take you home, honey." The woman explained. After that day, they took me to their mansion and treated me like their own.I found out I was already pregnant, but it didn't stop Mr. Aldama and his sister, Miss Esperanza, from caring for me.It was easy to get along with them. Mr Aldama was one of the biggest and strongest men in th
I dropped the professional face and put on a smile then adjusted my glasses.The class door split open, divulging the classic opulent interior one could ever imagine.I caught sight of Aunt Experanza, who stood stoic by the door along with a few employees."Welcome back, Miss Aldama.""Good day, Miss Aldama.""Welcome, president."The warm greetings I received from my employee, then I turned to my Aunt who was obviously happy to see me. "Maya! I mean, Bella!" She gave me a warm hug. it's been forever. And we have a lot of catching ups to do. "This is more than being pretty. You're stunning!" She hugged me again as if I had gone forever."Aw, aunty... You have no idea how bad I missed you - Let's go inside." I smiled as we walked inside together. ~~~~~I got back into business, as the owner of Aldama Group. Being the president of Aldama Group, my position came with a lot of deals, business trips, and tight schedules.It was 12:57 and I had an event to attend.It was a masquerade ball
