Taming A Billionaire

The third point of view: 

"Are you that happy?" Niklaus asked Reina, scratch that, his wife, Reina.

Contrary to his fears, he felt free and great happiness like never before. He was now the husband to Reina which means no one can separate them any longer - not even a divorce - nor decide their fate. Their fate was already tied together.

"Yes, I'm so happy," Reina told him joyfully, staring at their certificate of Marriage. Everything still felt surreal to her, the certificate helped prove she was not dreaming.

"Since I'm now Mrs. Spencer, I can squander all your resources the way I want, right?" she teased him. 

"Sure, deplete them all - if you can. But since you're a pretty determined person, I'm sure you can do that. However, don't worry, once we become poor, we can go to the countryside and live peacefully in between making a lot of babies, " He grinned at her which caused a crease to appear on her face. 

They were already done with the reception and were on their way back home in a black limousine. It had been scheduled that they would leave for their honeymoon this night, but as you can see, everyone was exhausted so it was shifted to the next day. 

Moreover, with the stunt the kids executed today, Reina needed to set them straight before she left, else they might return halfway after the news of their house burning down again reaches their ear. 

"Niklaus," Reina decided to remind him, "I'm not giving birth again," was her conclusion. 

"Why?" Niklaus asked calmly - she didn't like that. Anytime, he was this calm, something was going on in that mind of his - a very bad scheme. 

"We already have four kids, why would we go for more?" She shrugged.

"Fours kids?" there was a trace of confusion on his face, " When did we have four kids?" 

Reina scowled at him, "Seriously, Neon!" Was her reminder.

She knew Neon would not receive the family's inheritance once the time comes except for those he achieved through hard work but she didn't want him to feel left out at this young age - he should be treated equally.

Niklaus recognized that look, his wife didn't approve of that comment. Fine, he'd treat the boy well.

"I don't like the number four, let's make it six," He simply said to her.

"You're crazy!" Reina couldn't believe her ears. It wasn't just one, he was vying for two, what did Niklaus take her for? A baby-making machine?

She was just about to spit more fire from her mouth when Niklaus 

suddenly reached out and pulled her to his laps ungracefully. 

"You were saying?" his brow arched in a challenge. 

Reina froze, gulping down saliva. Her heart was beating so fast with their faces so close to each other. How could someone be so handsome? She was most jealous of his thick brows and long eyelashes - which he didn't give a damn care about. God was so unfair, how could he give such features to Niklaus when she had much use for them?

"A-hem," Reina cleared her throat nervously, a blush creeping up her face. That man was not a seducer, but a damn Incubus. He was sucking her life force, no wonder she was susceptible to every one of his requests.

"About that issue," Her once loud voice suddenly became weak, "We'd discuss that later," 

"Yeah, sure," Niklaus had his signature sleazy smirk on, " Wed discuss that issue in our bedroom later as husband and wife," 

"Seriously," She hissed and tried to get off him but as usual, his hand around her waist had become a fortress. 

"What are you doing?" She questioned his intention when he began to come closer.

"Reina, the both of us are currently husband and wife, what do you think couples do in their free time?" he even had a pout. 

"Hmmm, let me think," she put on a thoughtful expression and replied, "Take care of their daredevil kids that might be burning the house down as I speak! " 

"Fine, fine, you can go," Niklaus finally released her, "We'd just settle the matter in our bedroom,"

Unknown to him, Reina snorted in her heart. Settle what matters in the bedroom, her butt! There was no way on earth she was getting intimate with Niklaus until they left for their honeymoon. But she wouldn't tell him that, because she had her plans in mind. 

Throughout the rest of the ride, there was absolute quietness but Niklaus had a goofy smile on his face and Reina a subtle evil smirk, tonight was going to be epic.

"Sir Niklaus, we're here," the chauffeur announced, and just when Reina was about to step out, Niklaus stopped her.

"Don't make a move?"

"Huh?"

Yet the man didn't explain further, instead stepped out of the car and walked around to get to the side of the car, opened it, and hoisted her up in his arms to her horror.

"Niklaus!" She screamed, hanging onto his neck, "Put me down this instant!"

"You always swoon over a romantic gesture yet when one is executed, you begin to scream like a banshee," He murmured while walking into the house. 

Because Niklaus was distracted, he failed to notice the unfamiliar car that was packed outside. His eyes were focused on his wife and the fun they would have. So one could imagine the shock on his face when he came into his living room only to see his dear father-in-law and his ex-mother-in-law. Fuck the universe!

"Finally, the couple of the day is here," Sakuzi announced, getting up to his feet.

"Father," Reina hurriedly left Niklaus' side to hug her dear father while giving Nadia a subtle greeting. When she had told her father to spend the night over at her place, she hadn't meant for him to bring that woman.

Nadia had not exactly treated her badly during her stay with her father but they had not been that close due to the fact she had divorced her father which meant less communication.

Reina was hoping that the bad blood would be cleansed fully between her father and Niklaus tonight - her father was only doing this because of her. Though both men could now converse without being at loggerheads with each other, there was still some tension between the both of them. 

The difference between Sakuzi and Adam was "change". Her father Sakuzi was willing to sacrifice his deep feeling of hatred towards Niklaus just so she could have a shot at happiness, unlike Adam who wanted to sacrifice his son for his own happiness. 

"What are you doing here?" A certain person had already sensed his plans for the night had been disrupted. 

"We heard you both would be leaving tomorrow for your week-long honeymoon, so Nadia and I decided to spend the night with our daughters before finally sending her off. Any problem with that?" 

"I'm spending the night with her, figure out your room," Nadia made her point known. Reina was surprised at that comment, the woman would stay with her? What a weird development. 

"Fine, I'll stay with my son-in-law then," Sakuzi made his choice.

Niklaus wanted to curse out loud. Sleep with who? He was supposed to be sharing a steamy night with his wife, not that grandpa! Can't these people leave him with his wife?!

Suddenly, it dawned on him- this was a plan. Niklaus was naturally intelligent so he was quick to figure out this was a setup by a wife to bring him and Sakuzi together. His frown subsided, he had a considerate wife.

"Alright, I'll make the sleeping arrangements," He said and left the living room but Reina went after him.

"Niklaus, I -"

"Don't worry, I understand," He didn't let her finish speaking knowing what she would say.

"You know I would have done the same for Adam," She told him.

 "Yeah, I know," He breathed, "You love putting yourself in danger which is why I wouldn't have arranged that even if he asked that," Niklaus cupped her face, 

"Reina, you might not understand when I say this but you're too precious to me. I don't care if the world hates me for your sake, all that matters to me is that you're safe and satisfied,"

Reina was struck dumb by that confession, a warm feeling filled her chest and she hugged him, "Thank you for loving me, Niklaus,"

Niklaus rubbed her shoulder affectionately, he then said to her, "Alright, that's enough. I need to go serve your father," he chuckled, "Kind of makes me feel like a child seeking approval from his....." he trailed off

Reina was surprised when the look on Niklaus' face suddenly changed, "What is it?" She asked. 

But Niklaus ignored her, instead returned to the living room as she followed after him, eyes darting around as if searching around for something or someone? Other than surprising looks, her parents didn't say anything at his sudden appearance. 

"Niklaus, what is it?" she asked, but the man ignored her and climbed back up the stairs, heading for Isabella's room. 

It was empty. 

"Where is Isabella?" He asked. There was a low growl beneath his voice. 

"Isabella?" Reina began to think, 

"The last time I saw her she was with Pedro... Uh-oh," her eyes connected with Niklaus' furiousness. The man had figured it out too.

"I'm going to kill that boy!" Niklaus swore, set to leave when Reina grabbed his hand and turned him around to her.

"What are you...?"

She hooked her hand around his neck, pulled his face down to hers, and kissed him. All the anger dissipated instantly as Niklaus focused his attention on the siren seducing him, his hands instantly moved down to cup her ass. Reina sighed, Isabella owed her big time for this one
