Chapter 446 - Four Hundred And Forty-Six: Die Together (1/2)

Reina's point of view:

”Hey,”

That was the first word I woke up to. I thought I saw Niklaus or maybe I did see him, my sight must be acting up.

After a few squeezing and blinking, my blurry sight finally cleared and just as I thought, Niklaus was by my bedside.

”Hey,” I tried to reach for him but I couldn't move my arms, it was god damn heavy.

”Shh, don't move,” Niklaus cautioned me, ”You have a cast on,” He said as his hands went to support my back, helping me sit up, ”Yeah, slowly... Carefully.....”

With his help, I was up and staring down at my arm, slowly recollecting what happened. I narrowly escaped death. Again. And this time, it came knocking on my door - I was not the one who found trouble.

Suddenly, it crossed my mind,” The kids -?! ”

”They're safe and fine,” He answered me and I breathed a sigh of relief. After we turned the tide of the battle against Miguel, I must have lost consciousness since I couldn't tell what transpired until now.

”How long have I been out?”

”Twelve hours. It's a new day already,” Niklaus answered again before a heavy silence fell upon us.

”Have anything to say to me?” I cocked a brow knowing I've been waiting for this very moment after he had tricked me and left in my stead.

”I have nothing to say,”

I scowled at Niklaus, about to retort to that comment when he added,

”Because I'm sorry. I'm guilty of the crime accused of by my wife,”

His response gave me more confidence and I went further to ask, ”Since you finally acknowledge your crime, what punishment befits such a crime? Beating? Castration...?”

Niklaus gulped, his eyes wandering to his crotch, ”Honey, mental torture is a crime as well,” He hinted that I sounded scary at the moment.

”Oh really,” I was enjoying making him uncomfortable because remembering his betrayal stung me. I thought he trusted me? How could he do that to me?

I went on, ”I guess you didn't remember that tricking, sabotaging, and drugging your wife isn't a crime,” I pointed out.

”Alright, I'll pay for my crimes,” He offered himself straight into the lion's den.

A smirk grew on my face, I had him at my disposal, plus a head full of ideas of what I was going to do to him. It would be a splendid experience.

”And what punishment do you think is suitable for you?” I widened the trap, waiting for my ignorant husband to fall deeper into it.

But then, I forget my husband was a trickster.
