If that was that Zak wanted, then I was ready to support his decision. He was right, we have to correct the past so that we can finally and truly move on.
“Thank you, Zak,” I replied, and I found myself smiling amidst my tears.
It felt like the weight of the world was no longer on my shoulders and I can finally be free. Till the very end, Zak truly stood by my side and helped me.
“I’m sorry my present wasn’t a very impressive one but congratulations on your wedding, Natalia. You finally did it,” Zak congratulated me before he started laughing with joy.
“Thank you…so much…” I thanked him again as tears blurred my eyes once more.
I couldn’t thank him enough for all the things that he’s done and is still doing for me. There is nothing that I can do to ever repay him enough for his love and kindness.
“Take care of each other. Be as happy as you can possibly be, ok?” Zak said brightly.
“Ok…” I replied firmly.
“Stop crying now. The future will be bright and happy for you. I personally guarantee it, ok?” Zak said cheerfully.
“Ok…” I whispered.
“Stay healthy. Eat your meals on time. Exercise some, ok? Oh, and watch the news sometimes…” Zak advised before he started to laugh.
“I will. Thank you…for everything…” I replied but I couldn’t bring myself to laugh along with him.
“I have to go now. No more crying, Natalia,” Zak said, seriously this time.
“Ok. Goodbye, Zak…” I whispered into the phone.
Just like that, the line disconnected.
…
Tomorrow, we’re leaving on our long-awaited honeymoon trip. I was very excited because Reiner would be flying us. Of all the guys that I’ve dated, I think he’s the only one that can fly planes and there certainly was a certain charm attached to that.
After composing my words over and over again in my head, it finally came time for me to confess to Reiner about the conversation that I had with Zak. Not simply because I didn’t want to keep any secrets from my husband but since Reiner was also involved in my mother’s death, I thought that he had the right to know.
When I first found out that he killed my mother, the world just went black. Then I realized that her death also wounded him just like it hurt me. Just like me, perhaps Reiner would get some closure if he at least found out about the identity of his client for that mission that took my mother’s life. Then it would really be over, and we could move on with our lives. In our case, towards a shiny and bright future of our married life.
“You’re frowning. What you are thinking of?” Reiner asked in a lazy whisper before he buried his face in between my naked breasts.
I sighed when I felt the tip of his wet tongue slowly licking the sensitive skin in between my breasts. If I had a frown on my face just now, I was sure that it had disappeared completely. I cradled his head against my chest as he continued to lick and kiss my chest. Being naked in bed with Reiner was the best part of the day no matter that day entailed.
His hands caressed my waist, and I moaned softly while I straddled his lap. I knew that I had to talk to him before things got out of hand and I missed my chance but the way that his hands were sliding up the sides of my body made it so hard for me to concentrate.
“R…” I called his name softly.
“Hmm…” Reiner made a sound, his face still buried in between my breasts.
At least he was listening. I might as well tell him now before I get too wrapped up in our passion for each other. Reiner’s hands moved to caressed along my back before teasing the small of my back and I let out a small whimper of pleasure.
“Lucien passed on a wedding present to me from Zak,” I said softly.
I felt Reiner’s body stiffened for a very brief moment before he relaxed again. His hands moving along my back before coming up in front to cup my breasts.
“What did he give you?” Reiner asked after he lifted his head from my tits.
I could tell that he was far from interested. His large hands cupped my breasts and began massaging them softly. In response, I arched my back a little, thrusting my breasts invitingly towards his hand. I could feel his eyes on my breasts as he played with them as if they were his favorite toy.
“Information and files…” I replied as I struggle to explain further.
“Files? Of what?” Reiner asked passively.
His hands squeezed my breasts a little more roughly than before as he kept his eyes on them. I let out a soft moan as my breathing quickened. I wish we had more time before our trip so that I wouldn’t need to be telling him about this now of all times. However, we are set to fly tomorrow very early in the morning, and I didn’t want to have this depressing conversation with him during our honeymoon.
“Basically, proof and records of Madame Francesca’s crimes…” I said before I let out another soft moan.
“Why would he send you that?” Reiner asked, still sounding disinterested.
I wasn’t surprised with Reiner’s lack of interest. He didn’t seem to favor Zak at all out of all the Rosenhalls and it also wasn’t in his nature to care about something that didn’t and shouldn’t’ concern him. Except, I knew that this information concerned him a lot.
“There’s proof of her involvement with my mother’s death. She was the one who ordered to have Lucien killed and…my mother ended up dying in his place,” I finally managed to say.
Reiner’s hands on my breasts stilled briefly, before his fingertips began teasing my erect nipples. I moaned lewdly at the pleasure of his fingers playing seductively with my nipples. He pinched them lightly before squeezing them firmly.
