I had never seen Reina this furious, she looked like she would murder him that moment. It relieved me to know she cared this strongly for me,?I could trust her now.
“Let’s go,” She grabbed my hand, leading me through the entrance door.
We went through a long hallway with lots of rooms coming off of it. Some of the doors were opened, showing me bald men with tattoos scattered around their bodies and playing cards; rooms storing weapon crates with men checking them out and so many others.
That assured me that her father was involved with a gang that I now know. That tattoo could only belong to the falcon gang and as much as I tried to deny it, evidence was everywhere.
“We’re here,” Reina said to me as soon as we walked into the spacious lavish-looking living room.?She must have sensed my withdrawal because she let go of my hands, going to meet a man that had his back turned to us as he instructed another.
A name lingered on my tongue but I refused to say it out, no, I didn’t want to call it out. There was no way this was happening.
“Father,”
“Reina dear,” He turned and our eyes met and held.
Sakuzi.
I didn’t know how to feel at that moment. I had a premonition that it was him but I refused to admit it until I saw it with my eyes and now I did,?I want it to be a dream.
“Sakuzi is your father?” I asked in disbelief.
She nodded.
“Nice to meet you again, Niles,” He smirked at me, “Though it has been seven years, it still feels like yesterday,”
“And you don’t look any younger,” I countered, struggling to keep my emotions under check. Now, I saw him, the memories of Kay I had buried years ago come flooding back.
“Alright,” Sakuzi clapped his hand, “Thank you Reina dear for bringing him straight to me, you’d be rewarded greatly for this job well done,” he said.
Between me and Reina, I couldn’t tell who was more shocked, or maybe she was faking it. If I listen carefully to his speech, she just betrayed me.
“That is not true!” She hollered.
Reina approached her father, turning to look back at me with anxious looks and back to him, whispering something I couldn’t hear.
“Don’t worry, I won’t kill him as I promised you but he won’t leave here in one piece,” Sakuzi declared.
“Father!” She cried out, deterred.
“Take our guest out, he’d be having a pleasant time here,” My arch-nemesis, Sakuzi, instructed four men who came out of nowhere and grabbed me. I couldn’t fight back, they manhandled me. It dawned on me, this was a trap and I fell right into it.
“Niles!” I heard Reina call my name but I didn’t turn to look at her. I needed time away from her. No wonder she kissed me earlier having known this would happen. Just like Judas, Reina betrayed me with a kiss.
Reina’s point of view
“What was the meaning of that?! ” I?yelled, following him into his office. He has to give me an examination for that charade earlier.
“You’ve already done your part, there’s no need to bother me,” Father replied, plopping down on his swivel chair with a tired sigh.
“That’s the point, father! We never discussed bringing Niles over and imprisoning him. He came here to see his children and possibly talk with you but you just made it seem like I betrayed him!” I was slowly running crazy. That look Niles gave me earlier pierced my heart, I was no more than a stranger in his eyes. All I wanted was for him to meet his kids, not this.
“That’s why I’m thanking you for making the job easy and rest assured I won’t kill him as promised,” He said casually, opening the laptop on his desk.
I grabbed my hair, pacing to and fro the room. Father was doing this on purpose, he just doesn’t understand me at all.
“Niles is the father of my kids, you can’t do this to him. Have you ever wondered how the twins would feel if they know you’re keeping their father hostage? “
He glanced up, saying seriously,
“They’ll feel bad at first but with time, they’d understand the reason for this and get over it. I should be the one advising you not to think of accepting Niles as your husband – not even in your wildest imagination because that is not going to happen, “
“What?”
I was so shocked by that statement that I took a step back. There was no way on earth that my father meant that, right?
“You heard me right, Reina. There’s no way on earth you’re marrying into Sparks’s family, that’s over my dead body,” He declared.
It dawned on me, my father was joking with my happiness. He wasn’t the one who would end miserably as a wife to a man I don’t love, it’s me. I’ll be the one living in such loveless marriage. I had to speak up now or forever hold my peace.
“Why do I even have to obey you?” I blurted out.
“What?” Sakuzi was taken aback.
“I like Niles, no, I love Niles, I should fight for that, not listen to you tell me who to love,”?It was as if my eyes were suddenly open and I could see what I’ve been missing out on all this time.
“Reina?” he growled. That was a warning – that I wouldn’t listen to.
“I’m sorry father,” I apologized, already making it out of his room at full speed.
“Reina!”
I heard him continuously yell my name but I didn’t listen rather sprinted down the fleet of stairs and headed for the holding room.
And there I found him.
Niles was standing with his hands chained to the wall while someone was hitting him.
I came closer to discover it was?Andrew again! What the hell was his problem?
Searing hot anger blinded me and the next I knew, I grabbed the metal chair that must have been used to restrain Niles earlier and brought it down on the asshole’s head.
