The next day, Reina gets discharged from the hospital and brought back to the Lake house by Harry. Since she couldn't walk, he carried to his room.
"I can't stay here. This is your room. I can't stay here. Please send me back to my room".Reina protested. "No. It's more convenient for me to look after you if you stay here. From now on, stay here with me okay". Harry told her.
"But what will others say. It's not proper. In any case, Nina is there to take care of me. Also..." She's interrupted when Harry place a finger on her lips, forcing her to stop talking. She blinked her crystal clear eyes at him, pouting her lips. Harry saw her cute face and his heart melted. "Between Nina and me, who do you prefer to take care of you?" .He asked.
Looking into his deep and intoxicating eyes, Reina was mesmerized. "YOU" She replied.
Hearing her choosing him, Harry laughed happily. Realizing that he has used a beauty trap to seduce into agreeing, Reina blushed."You're so bad".She whined.
"And you're my adorable queen". Harry said, happily squeezing her cheeks.
He kissed her on the lips, opening her mouth to suck on her tongue. Only he understood how restless his heart has been since yesterday and having her back in his arms again, makes everything better.
A knock on the door interrupted their passionate moment, Harry adjusted his clothes, and allowed the person to enter. It was Giselle and Nina who had come to see her. Harry excused himself, leaving them to talk. Nina who seemed to have lost sleep, has dark circles under her eyes and the moment she saw Reina who's arm and leg are bandaged and in a case. She broke down in tears.
"Miss, I was so scared when I heard what happened to you. I prayed to God all night to keep you safe from danger".She said, crying.
"Reina, did you know how scared l was when you fell. I felt my heart stopped. I'm so glad that you're alright". Giselle also spoke, looking worried. Reina's heart felt so glad to have friends who worries about. She apologize to them for making them worried and assured them that she'll get better in no time. The three chatted for a long time, keeping each other company.
At the study, Harry looked through the content of the file presented to him by the guard. It has all the information about the worker who caused the accident. From the information, he seemed to be a fairly regular man with a clean background and no criminal record and from this, there's nothing out of the ordinary to suggest foreplay on his part in the accident. Harry furrowed his eyebrows. Was he wrong?. He frowned.
"Sir, I found out that prior to the accident, a large sum of money was transferred to his account and another sum was transferred again after he left the job". The guard explained.
Hearing this, Harry's expression turned cold and his eyes flash with malice."Where is he now?".He asked coldly. "Sir, our men caught him trying to escape the city overnight. He's being held hostage now".the guard replied. "Good. Let's go". Harry left with the guard.
"I think he won't let it go. What if he investigate this and found out that I have a hand in the accident. Why wouldn't that slut just die?". An anxious Sasha paced around in her friend Malia's apartment with a crazed look.
"You don't have to worry about anything. Nothing can be traced back to you. That gardener has already left the city and even if Harry investigate the incident, nothing will show up so relax".Malia assured her. She stopped Sasha in her back and forth walking and let her sit down on the couch.
"You don't look so good. Have you been taking your meds. You know you can't skip those meds". Malia asked.
"I'm not sick so stop trying to make me look like one. Those medicine are not making me feel any better".Sasha glowered, scaring Malia a little. She quickly searched through Sasha's bag and breathed a sigh of relief when she found the bottle of medicine. She took one pill, fetched a glass of water and brought it to Sasha. She persuaded her to take the medicine and smiled when she did.
"You'll help me think of another way to kill that bitch right?" Sasha blabbers, tightly holding Malia's hand in a death grip. Malia nodded, agreeing to help her.
At the Palanca mansion.
"You can't continue to be obstinate to the end. Your father and l wants what's best for you". Soraya's mother spoke incessantly to her daughter who seemed doesn't give a damn about her worries.
"Your father just wants you to marry into the Osman family to help him out on his business. Don't you know that the company is facing big financial losses?"
Soraya wanted to ignore her mother's unreasonable ranting but the more she heard, the darker her face becomes. She laughed derisively and sneered,"So mother is perfectly okay with selling your daughter off into a disastrous marriage life all for the sake of profit?". "Doesn't your conscience hurt a little". She shouted angrily.
Smack!!
Mrs Palanca slapped her. Soraya held her cheek as she looked at her mother with teary and hurt eyes. Angrily pointing her finger at her, Mr Palanca berated, "You this unfilial child. Is this how you'll repay your parents for all the years we've raised you?. I'm not asking you to spend a lifetime married to that family. Just get married then our company received the investment we need. You can choose to divorce after a year or two. It's no big deal"
Soraya looked at her mother with disgust, feeling completely disappointed in her. "Even if you kill me l won't let you people ruin my life for your selfish gains". she said.
