Chapter fifty nine: enemy baseKai pulled away from Karen, a small smile on his lips. She felt a bit sad that he had to leave. But it was his party after all and it would be considered rude if he didn't show up. "Have fun," Karen whispered and put her hands down form his neck. She tried to smile but failed. He touched her cheek, his thumb caressing her skin. Karen held his hand and pushed him away. He gave her one last look before he walked away. Karen wanted to go home. She stalled for time, and a few minutes later she turned and headed downstairs to join the party. She got herself some water and drank it. Searching the crowd fo Beulah, she spotted her dancing without a care in the world, a wide smile on her face. Karen wished she could have as much fun. She walked out of the house and towards the back. She was surprised to find a garden. Kai didn't strike her as a garden person. She sat on one of the benches, a slow sigh leaving her lips. She leaned back and stared out to the n
Chapter sixty: safety? Or comfort?Karen tried to scream, warm him of the impending danger. She wished more than anything that she had a mind link with him.If he understood her silent pleading, he didn't show it. Instead he turned to Jasper and faced him off. ."I always knew there was something shifty about you." Kai said"Not as shifty as you, won't you say?"Karen's heart thundered. Jasper has a weapon. He could wait for the perfect time to strike and kill him. Karen didn't want to imagine a life without Kai in it. A life where he didn't know she had a child for him."You want to fight?" Kai scoffed. "Why don't you humans stuck to your human sports?"Karen struggled against the ropes, a particularly painful one digging into a cut on her arms. She screamed through the gag, the pain shooting through her head and making her eyes squeeze shut."Karen!" Kai shouted and rushed to her. Karen tried to warn him somehow but it Was too late. Jasper took advantage of the opened and lunged fo
Chapter sixty one: my drugKai urged her to lay down, his body towering over hers and his hair falling on both sides of his face down to her shoulders. She turned, showing him her zipper. The sound of it coming undone filled the air along with her soft breathing. Kai pushed the thin straps of the gown down her arms . She wasn't wearing a bra, her full breasts and rosy nipples making his mouth water. She took the gown off flinging it away with careless abandon.Kai raked his eyes over her body. He missed her long hair, the way it formed rivers of good around her head and on his pillow. Nonetheless she was still stunning. Her eyes....he could get lost in them. "You're so beautiful," He said, taking a breast into his hand and squeezing it. He leaned down and took her nipple into his mouth, swirling his tongue around it .She grabbed strands of his hair, her back arching off the bed and pushing more of her sweet flesh into his mouth. "Oh my....Kai..." She breathed. Kai moved to her othe
Chapter sixty two: threatsThe peaceful weekend was over in a flash and it was back to work. Karen noticed instantly that Jasper was no where to be seen. It was almost like he had been erased from the memories of everyone, no body talked about him, no body mentioned him and his desk was cleared of all his possession, and just by ten am on Monday, someone else had replaced him.Karen did wonder what had happened, and why he was working for Verena's father, but she had no one to ask. "You look glowy today," Karen heard a voice say. She turned to see Sonia beside her, smiling and looking her up and down."Good morning Sonia." Karen said with a smile."How was your weekend? Did something amazing happen?" She wiggled her brows suggestively"Something like what?" Karen asked with a coy smile. "Just the usual weekend activities. Some relaxation, fun outings with friends, that's all."Sonia nodded, a goofy smile on her face. "Yeah right. Introduce me to him soonest. I can't wait to see the m
Chapter sixty-three: Daddy is backVerena walked through the store trying to find ingredients for dinner. The memory of bumping into Karen was still very fresh in her mind. She picked out a packet of pork and added it to her basket. She was making sweet and sour pork for dinner. Nicolas liked it a lot. Seeing Karen was something Verena wasn't prepared for. Seeing her had brought back memories, both the good and the bad. And above all was the guilt it brought back. Verena was relieved to know that Karen was indeed alive, and she could finally ask for forgiveness. At the same time, she was consumed with crippling guilt because of what she had done.As time went by, she began to realize the error of her ways. She came to accept that what she had done was bad, even though she had done it with the best intentions. Kai loved Karen. It was a truth she didn't want to accept. And that truth nearly cost her her head. She picked up the last item, a bottle of rose wine. Nicolas had texted he
Chapter sixty-four: a conditionKai paced through his office, his mind racing. He was overcome with feelings of anger and self-hatred, all directed at him.He had a moment of weakness. One where he was vulnerable, and said things he should not have said, did things he shouldn't have done."Fuck it." He hissed. He had shown Karen his scars. He couldn't believe he had been so daft to do such a thing! He wasn't normally soft, he wasn't like thia. Not for any reason. Karen kept doing things to him that he couldn't even understand anymore. And the sleep he had gotten, it was heavenly. A night of peaceful slumber, he had woken beside her and his dick still inside her.He had done that! Kai sighed and rubbed his temples. All his thinking was giving him a really bad headache. "Sir?"Speak of the damned devil.He turned to see Karen standing in the doorway. "How long have you been standing there?" He snapped at her. He hadn't meant to sound so harsh, but it was necessary.Karen blinked. "
Chapter sixty-five: Truth and Lies"Thank you for your statement ma'am. This should help us in locating the culprit."The questioning room was small and dark, a white overhead bulb casting weird shadows over the officer's face. Karne knew they would never find the culprit. What they were chasing was far greater than them. A creature they tagged as fantasy. She turned to Kai behind her and he gave her a small smile. She didn't believe the humans.But she nodded. "I just need my son to be found, and who ever did this to be brought to justice. Amanda was the sweetest person I ever knew. And she's just gone....like that."The officer nodded curtly. "Rest assured, we are doing our very best to track your son as we speak.""Maybe you should try harder." Kai snapped. Karen sighed and turned to him. "They're doing the most they can. We just have to wait.""I'm really sorry" the officer said. "You may take your leave now."It had been a day after the incide. Karen had to go to the police st
Chapter sixty six: coming home"What do you mean by that?" Kai asked, narrowing his eyes at Asher. "Yeah," Verena said. "You didn't rescue him out of the kindness of your heart? Then why did you bother at all? What is going on here?""You're children have a lot to learn." Asher scoffed. "Everyone knew of Zeke's appetite and behavior. No One really paid him any heed. Especially not the counsel. But when I heard who his newest obsession was, I had to get in.""You're a disgusting pig." Nicolas said, his eyes wide. "You were in on it, all along. Weren't you?""In on what? Of course not. Rescuing you two was only for my benefit. Nothing else. I couldn't care less if you both perished or not.""You can't be serious." Verena gasped. "And all these years you....""Prepared a plan for my only daughter to be a Luna." Asher finished with a flourish. "And you had to ruin it.""You son of bitch " Kai growled and lounged forward attacking Asher. The brothers fell on him, trying to pin him down. H
