^(Back at Swan-Mills mansion)^
Third-person POV
It was another ordinary evening for the rest of the Swan and Mills family, all were gathered at the dining table quietly eating dinner. No laughter, no conversations, just a silence that would drive oneself insane, the only noise being the clinging in the air when the silverware scrapes against the porcelain plates.
(Just pretend there are three dark wooden chairs in the middle and then Reina's chair)
All seats were filled except for four, two placed across from each other. They belonged to the two heads of the family, the prince, and of course to the missing member that has a special throne in everyone's hearts.
The entire chair frame is made of real gold, at the front of each armrest has a lions head, the legs of the chair are the paws of the lion, has gorgeous swirls and twirls, and what looks like to be a crown at the top, lastly red for the seat cushions.
Fit for a true royal. For this throne-like chair was to be untouched unless to be cleaned and polished, there it will stay waiting to be filled.
The silence was disturbed when an older brunette's phone rang making all heads turn in her direction. Once Cora saw who was calling she answered with great haste.
"Regina Maria Swan Mills! come osi non dire addio a tuo padre e a me? Ho dovuto scoprire da una guardia che sei partito!, mi hai fatto preoccupare!, stai cercando di farmi avere un infarto?!" (How dare you not say goodbye to your father and I? I had to find out from a guard that you left! you had me worried sick! Are you trying to make me have a heart attack?!)
She continued to scold her daughter as her husband and the rest of the family watched in amusement knowing well how dramatic Cora can be.
"Non m'importa quanti anni hai tu ti do ancora con un cucchiaio legno" The women threatened.(I don't care how old you are I will still whack you with a wooden spoon)
"Non osare dirmi di fare silenz-" Cora's words ceased as she shot up so fast that her chair ended up falling behind her. (Don't you dare tell me to be quie-)
Now putting everyone slightly on edge, wondering what was said to cause such a reaction. Lorenzo now stood up beside his wife wanting to know what was wrong.
"Che Cosa?" Cora asked, her eyes brimming with tears. At the sight, it brought everyone to their feet. (what?)
"um... va bene, glielo faro sapere" (Ok, I will let them know)
"Ti amo anch'io caro" The call ended. (I love you too dear)
The room was dead silent but the energy in the room growing thicker by the second. Cora turned to her husband and began to sob in his arms, Lorenzo instantly taking a hold of her small frame.
"Mi Amor, ¿qué pasó? ¿Qué pasa? ¿por qué estás llorando?" He voiced not only his but everyone else's thoughts. The Spanish man tried to mask his worry, everyone bracing themselves for the worst, but were met with the opposite. Cora pulled away and faced the entire family with her teary eyes, with a true smile they hadn't seen in years. (My love, what happened? what's wrong? Why are you crying?)
"They found her."
-Lucas Apartment-
Reina POV
I forced myself out of bed to get ready, I am to perform at our club tonight. After mines and Rubys argument, I stayed in our bedroom for most of the entire day, Ruby knowing that I needed space she left me alone plus I locked the door.
I've always hated when we fought, it's rare that we do. Although I know we can never really stay mad at one another it still hurts, especially since we've become each others life support.
All I wanted to do was swing the door wide open, run into her arms, tell her that I forgive her and that I love her, listen to her tell me everything going to be okay, and have hot steamy make-up sex. I'm not going to though, even though I've already forgiven her she needs to be the one to apologize because she is in the wrong this time.
I was finishing the last touches of my makeup when there was a knock at the door, with a sigh I go to unlock it. I'm met with my wife having a tear-stained face, eyes slightly red and puffy, her bottom lip quivering as if she were to start crying again. I couldn't help but feel a bit guilty for the state she was in.
"I'm sorry" She sniffled. I pulled her into my arms holding her securely to myself, she embraces me just as tight.
"Shh... it's okay, it's okay" I cooed.
"No, it's not, I shouldn't have let my jealousy cloud my judgment. I just didn't like the idea of someone else getting too close to you bec-"
"Because why, love? you know can tell me anything" I reassured. We pulled apart now sitting on the bed with me in her lap.
"Because I'm scared. That one day you'll leave me just like my parents did, whether it be in death or with another person. I'd be left all alone, yes I have granny but you are the only person that knows me the real me. I wouldn't be able to live on if you weren't moving on with me"
I wiped away the few tears that were running down her face, I stare deeply into her eyes making sure that the words I'm about to say bore into her soul.
"You Ruby Lucas have nothing to be scared of. I love you I have always loved you and I will continue to always love you, there is never going to be another person because it'll always be you." I stated.
"As for death it wouldn't want me I'm too stubborn" She giggled while nodding a little. I continued.
"You are my world I wouldn't be able to live without you either for I am too selfish, the thought of you with another woman that's not me makes me sick, I am and forever will continue to be yours just as you are all completely mine" I smiled.
"Out of all the flowers in the grass all the birds in the sky all these beautiful things and yet you choose to smile at me," Ruby said. Her lips inching towards mine.
"Well I did marry you" I grinned.
She smashed her lips to mine reigniting the same spark, pouring my love and every ounce of feeling into this sweet passionate kiss. A kiss that was sealing a silent promise, that we will always have each other whether it be in life or death.
Ruby POV
After our lovely make-out session, which consisted of groping mostly on my part. We, unfortunately, had to stop and get fully ready for tonight, let me tell you my queen looked sexy as fuck mm.
Her crop top sticking to her like a second layer of skin, her booty shorts giving me a good view of her perky round ass that bounced with each step she took. To top it all off she wore a blue leather jacket, knee-high boots, that somehow made her legs look longer.
I was wearing a black crop tank top with a lacey bralette underneath. To which Reina very much appreciated if you know what I mean. A pair of shorts as well and cute ankle boots.
We got in our car and headed to our nightclub.
I was thinking back to our conversation, I sighed happily. We came to a solution plus I'm extremely grateful that Reina didn't revoke sex, that would've been dreadful.
Reina had called that woman and invited her and her wife to our nightclub as a forgiveness treat for my behavior. Of course, they said yes.
From the moment we met them both they radiate something dark, intimidating, sinister even, a sense of power with the way they hold themselves. People like that only bring trouble, sadly my wife and I know that by first-hand experience what they could do, what they can do.
It's true what they say 'keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer'. That's exactly what I'm gonna do but for the sake of my amazing wife, I'll keep quiet and play along at least... for now.
