“Hello?” Isabella’s voice roused her from her thought and she finally remembered that she had been on call before the incident.
“Hello, Isabella…” Reina finally picked up.
“Oh thank God!” Isabella was glad nothing happened, “What the hell is happening, I heard a crash -“
“Isabella, an accident just happened right in front of me and I’m okay. But then I need to help the injured, I’ll see you later,” Reina ended the call without a second thought and called 911 immediately.
Once she was done with the call, Reina went to help the young woman in the red car, however, her windows were rolled up with the car door locked. She couldn’t get in.
She then walked over to the other car to see if the driver was badly injured. But to her shock, the car door was open and there was no sight of the driver and that made Reina’s brows furrow.
If that was the case, the driver must have run off because he cared of the consequences of the incident, or whoever that was planned to kill her and took off when the plan failed.
The third point of view:
Niles was in the middle of a meeting where one of his workers was presenting a business idea with a PowerPoint presentation when his phone rang. He would have ignored it if not for the fact that it was his private line and the line was reserved exclusively for his family members – it was always switched on no matter what.
His brows furrowed when he saw it was Isabella because this particular daughter of his never calls him unless something was up.
“Excuse me,” He said to the workers and directors who all paused at the statement. However, he gestured to them to go on with the presentation and left the conference room.
“Hello?” Niles picked up as soon as he was out.
“We have a problem?” Isabella said as soon as he answered, without even a greeting.
Nonetheless, he asked, “What is it?”
“It’s mother, I think she was involved in an accident,”
At the mention of Reina in an accident, Niles’ soul flew out of his body. What did he just hear?
“What did you just say?” Niles’ voice was filled with dread. His heart tightened and was pounding so hard that it wouldn’t surprise him if he died of a heart attack right now.
Isabella then went into details of the accident she knew and although Niles breathed a sigh of relief at the end when he found out Reina was safe, it still didn’t erase the fact that his wife might be injured.
“Thank you for informing me, Isabella, and stay safe,” He said to his daughter and ended the call.
Without wasting time, he called his wife Reina but she didn’t answer and that made him more anxious. He then dialed another number right away.
“Track down my wife’s whereabouts and prepare the car downstairs, I need to find her,” He ordered and entered the nearest elevator to come find her.
Meanwhile…
Reina was in the hospital, to be precise, in the ward where her savior was taken. Her savior was no less than a woman, no, a young woman. Reina doubted she was older than her daughter, Isabella, from her facial appearance. It was just that she was curvy and thus, looked older with her body shape, however, Reina was older and had enough experience to distinguish that.
She sat by her bedside and stared at her with gratitude. The young girl had a band-aid on her head with a small bruise across her cheek and from the doctor’s report, there were chances that she might suffer a concussion.
Reina rubbed her temple, feeling a headache there. She had been so high on adrenaline and intent on saving the young girl’s life that she hadn’t thought about herself. Her hair was disheveled and her hand still shook, the incident was fresh in her memory. She doubted that she would be able to sleep properly tonight. The nightmare would surely haunt her.
Reina was still deep in thoughts when the cotton differentiating the beds in the wards was swiped open and lo and behold, there was her husband in all his glory.
“Niles?” She stood up abruptly, her heart skipping a beat. It was safe to assume that Niles had run over here judging from the way he was panting as if he had run out of oxygen.
“How did you…” Reina didn’t get to finish the rest of her speech because Niles cupped her face and kissed the living hell out of her.
Reina stood still with her eyes almost popping out, she didn’t expect that reaction from Niles. She had no choice but to close her eyes and reciprocate the gesture.
Niles’ arm tightened around her in a possessive hold while he kissed her in a mad frenzy. Reina didn’t get to breathe, no, she was robbed of all breath. He was suffocating her with his intense kiss, but then, who needed air when he was all she needed.
Reina was reminded of the fact that she almost lost him, no, he almost lost her. Niles must have heard the news already which explains his desperate need to claim her. But then, they couldn’t do this in front of her savior.
She pulled away immediately much to Niles’ displeasure however said immediately, “We can’t do this in front of her. It’s disrespectful,”
“Fine,” Niles reluctantly let her go, “However, I can do this,” He pulled Reina into a hug that left her with little or no space. Reina sighed, this man must think that she’s a teddy bear.
“Why didn’t you answer my call?” Niles asked, his chin resting on her shoulder as he tightened his grip, “I really thought something happened to you. I almost died when Isabella told me the news,”
“I’m sorry,” Reina apologized, “I was so distracted by the incident that everything else came secondary to me,”
Niles sighed, “It’s exhausting to have two first ladies in my life,”
“What?” Reina was confused.
“First, Isabella, now you. The both of you plan to kill me with worry,” He complained.
“I’m sorry,” Reina hugged him back this time, “Don’t worry, you would never get to worry about me again,”
“I know,” Niles conceded, “Death doesn’t have the right to snatch away what’s mine. I’ll make sure of it,”
Reina snorted in amusement, this man. He was jealous of death as well.
“Is she the one?”
“Huh?”
Niles gestured with a tilt of his head and Reina had to pull away to see what he was talking about.
“Is she the one who hit you?” Niles inquired, animosity in his gaze. He looked ready to murder the young woman in her sleep.
“Of course not,” Reina was quick to defend her, “On the contrary, she saved my life. She’s the reason why I’m still alive and well,”
