Dead Set: Rebirth

Chapter 9

Dio brought his dinner to his room and Reina brought dinner to Mr. Joestar. Once she left his bedroom, a phone was ringing. Reina heads downstairs and hurries to the main hall. She finds the telephone on the stand and picks up the phone to answer. "Hello?" Reina responds as she holds the phone by her ear. "Lady Reina, it's Jonathan. I hope you are alright." Jonathan said.

"Yes, I am okay. Your father has been eating the food I cook and nothing else has changed." Reina said. She could not tell him what Dio has been doing to her. It was too embarrassing. "Listen...I have found out what has been causing my father to fall ill." Jonathan began to tell Reina what he had found, "He has been poisoned. Also, I have found out who the culprit is." Jonathan wanted to tell Reina who the culprit was, but he did not want her to collapse again.

It would traumatize her even more and it would effect him as well. "I will come back tomorrow night. Do not say anything. Please tell father that I am fine." Jonathan said before he hung up the phone.

"That woman. She's a close friend of yours?" Speedwagon spoke as Jonathan let's out a sigh. That man had to send his adopted brother to jail. His adopted brother was engaged to his childhood friend. It was a difficult situation. "She's like a sister to me." Jonathan said as he, Speedwagon, and one more person walked through the cold streets of the town. "That woman must be really special to you." Speedwagon said. "She's the one I can depend on." Jonathan said.

Reina was glad to hear from Jonathan and know that he was safe and alive. She placed the phone back on its ringer. "He's okay." She softly spoke to herself and headed into the dining hall to eat dinner. Dio was already eating dinner in his bedroom. Reina would only eat in silence as she listens to the ticking of the clock. She was curious of her new recovered memories, but more of who the culprit was. Why would anyone poison George Joestar? The man was not an evil man.

He was an aspiring gentleman. No monster. The man was considerate. The idea of someone after the Joestar family disturbed Reina. She did not have a clue to who would do this deed. Reina looks down at her half-eaten plate of food. Her thoughts were clouded with confusion and somehow relief due to her memories coming back. "I'll inform Mr. Joestar then take a bath." Reina stated. Reina would only tell George that Jonathan found a cure.

An hour passes and Reina was in the bathroom. She relaxes in the warm water of the bathtub. Her body up to the top of her cleavage was in the water. She takes a bar of soap and a wash cloth to scrub herself. The feeling of her body being cleansed gave the woman a sense of security. The bathroom door was shut. Everyone else was sleeping. Except for Dio.

He had been reading in his bedroom. Reina was glad to have some time alone. She needed to think. She needed to think of what was hidden from her. Reina takes her time in scrubbing herself until the bathroom door opens slightly ajar. Dio takes a step inside without giving much or any attention He had his basket of soaps and oils in one hand and a towel hanging over his arm.

"Reina! Ah, I apologize. I did not expect you to be awake this late. You should be resting..." Dio said and steps inside the bathroom. He closes the door behind him. Reina looks at Dio and slightly frowns out of awkwardness. "It is fine. I just needed to take some time in resting." Reina said. Dio places the basket and towel on the sink.

He then steps closer to Reina and kneels down in front of the tub. He was craving to touch her. Seeing Reina nude in the bathtub made Dio be driven by the lust he built for her. Without hesitation, Dio pulls Reina into a deep kiss. He parts her lips with the slip of his tongue. Reina's eyes were wide as she was surprised because she had expected Dio to strip or tease her. Not this.

"D-Dio! What has gotten into you?" Reina tries to speak, but Dio does not give Reina a verbal reply and moves his lips to her cheek then neck. One of his large hands grab Reina's breast as the other hand was lowering to her back side. The lust was taking over and the man did not have any regrets. "Dio please..." Reina breathes his name.
