Kingston’s POVMy father sat quietly behind his desk with a newspaper in his hand. He focused on it like he hadn’t summoned me to his office that morning. I waited on him quietly. When he was down taking in all he wanted from the newspaper, he folded it back on his desk. “What’s going on with your daughter?”Mother; I knew she was more interested in my life than I was but I never knew she was going to report me to my father. I leaned back on my chair, “You know the sort of son you have, dad. I am not someone who is going to abandon his biological daughter just because I don’t want to have a relationship with her mother.”He nodded, “I trust you, son. What are we going to do about your mother?”I laughed. She had really put my father in a tight position. He hardly says no to her. I was sure she had instructed him to make sure I listen to him, probably; she wanted him to command me to take Nelly back.“We just have to let her see she is wrong? I want her to know that she doesn’t
Luisa’s POVIf everything was suddenly going as expected, things were going better than you had imagined. It was a bad omen. With Clarissa and Nelly out of our lives, things were easier at home. I was finally getting used to being the mistress of the mansion. My future mother-in-law was also out of communication with me it was as if she had lost interest in the marriage plannings all of a sudden. To me, it was an amazing thing. It seemed everything was working for my good. My match-making duty was also going fine. I could see the friendship budding between Nick and Jenny; I was proud of myself. I just wanted to try, I had no idea I was going to make such an impact on them.Chris was seated between my tight with his tab in front of him; we were watching the kiddie's show and trying to get the wordings in ‘Baby shark’ when the door to my room suddenly opened without a knock. There was no one in the mansion who had the audacity to barge into the room, not even miss Andreas. I turne
Kingston’s POVMy hand felt numb, and there was a little drop of blood dripping from it. I had no idea if it was my blood or my new punching bag. I picked a towel to wipe the blood from it, but when I observed it was not my blood, I threw the towel in the bin closest to me. The room was thoroughly soundproof, and no know knows that it existed in my office. I did not really usually use the room, but I created it because of emergency situations like this. I was not usually violent, but sometimes situations I did not expect to happen, happens, and the room was created for that purpose.Jared held Derek who looked limp on the floor with all his clothes covered in blood. The moment I saw the blog about him being Luisa's secret lover; I lost every reason I have for not dealing with him a bit. I ordered Jared to bring him to the office. I was trying to get him to spit out the reason he was lurking around Luisa, but he sounded too confident and arrogant, and he ended up as my punching b
Journalists were a set of annoying people, when I received the first strange number call on my phone, I had no idea it was from a journalist wanting to hold an interview with me. I was surprised by how they could find my personal phone number; I hadn’t posted it on any of my social media. I was been careful with the call I picked from then. I refused to pick any strange number.I lay down on the bed feeling empty and not wanting to do anything. I placed Chris on my chest and before I knew it, he was already asleep on my chest. When I heard the door to my room open slowly, I dropped Chris on the bed. The moment I saw Kingston’s hair at the door, I jumped up and launched at him. He chuckled and moved back slowly, “Easy, Wifey. I am not going anywhere, trust me.”I knew he wasn’t going anywhere. I was just relieved to see him. When he told me he believed me on the phone, I was still in doubt, but I was really glad that he was here because of me right now. “I’m just glad to see y
Luisa’s POVParis was exactly the way I thought it was going to be. To be honest, it was a bit better than I thought. It was no wonder why people call it the city of love. I felt as if I was in a different world where people wouldn’t judge me or criticize me without knowing who exactly I was. It was more fun because the two people I loved were with me. My whole world felt complete. Wherever we went people kept on staring at Kingston and Chris, they were surprised at how much they looked alike. But I was certain; they were more surprised by how handsome they were. The both of them together were worth drooling over. The more people stared at them, the more proud I felt. I linked my hand to Kingston’s whenever I saw ladies looking at him as if they wanted to rape him. No one should dare come close to him; yet, some ladies did not read the memo and still tried making advances at him. I smiled when he rejected them flatly. That was my man.Just being out with him and not hiding behin
Kingston’s POVI had never seen Luisa as nervous as she was right now. She had tried almost all the clothes in her closet, and yet she was still walking around in her underwear. If it was up to me, we wouldn’t go on that visit anymore. I will be the one visiting her until she cum so hard on me.“I have nothing to wear to your parents.” She complained.I stared at the numerous clothes she had abandoned on her bed. Apart from her clothes, they were also the ones I had used in surprising her; ones she had never worn before.“Should we go shopping first?” I teased.Angrily, she turned her attention to me, “How are we going to meet up if we are just going clothes shopping? We will have to delay your parents and I don’t want to do that.”Women; were hard to please. “Then wear one of these numerous clothes. I am certain my parents wouldn’t mind and you look beautiful in anything. You don’t need to dress to impress anyone.”She shrugged, “Your mother doesn’t like me already. If I dress a
Luisa's POVRegardless of what I do or how I looked Kingston's mother was never going to like me. The moment we got there she ignored my greeting and focused all her attention on her grandson. Thankfully, Chris got all the love she did not think I deserved. Chris on the other hand wasn’t interested in staying with her.“I can see he is as picky as ever.” She sighed after trying to carry him for the tenth time and he only ended up tearing up.The thought almost brought a smile to my lips, but again I felt sorry that the grandson she dotted so much wasn’t giving her a bit of attention.Kingston's father was a charmer; he had welcomed me with love and that made me feel a bit welcome. Unlike Chris and Kingston who looked very identical, his father was different, yet some similarities could be found between them if the person was looking very carefully.“Let’s see if he is going to be picky with grandfather too.” He said and tried picking Chris while making small noises with his mouth.
Kingston's POVLuisa couldn’t hide her surprised look. She stared wide-eyed taking in everything before she chuckled and started laughing uncontrollably. I was expecting that much, that was why I had never shown anyone my childhood room. She had been so serious and everything about my mother was getting to her. I wanted some difference; I wanted her to laugh and smile like this. When all her thoughts throw to the wind and her head swung back. She was beautiful but looked most beautiful when she was smiling. I gave a tight smile that she could barely see. “Who the heck paints a boy's room all pink?”I groaned, “Don’t remind me of the horror I had to live through staring at pink every moment.”She moved to the bed, “Seriously, who came up with this idea? I think the person derives pleasure in torturing you. If not, why pink of all colours.”I smiled, looking back at all the tantrums I had committed just to have the room colour changed to navy blue, or gold, all were futile. Yet,
Kingston’s P.O.V.“Derek’s dead.”Luisa dropped on the bed. I guessed regardless of how she thought she hated him, his death was still shocking to her. I was pretty shocked myself. I wanted to be the one who ended his life slowly, but I never thought he could be so cowardly. He chose his death to be tortured, but then he had been so sure of himself, so I wondered why he suddenly changed his mind and died.She looked around, avoiding my gaze and biting her lower lips.“I told the guys to bury him silently. He doesn’t have any family.”She sighed, “Do you also think it’s our fault? If we had handed him over to the police, he might not have killed himself, right?”Holding her shoulder, I shook my head, “It’s not our fault, Luisa. All we did was protect our family. Anyone will do anything for family’s sake. And we didn’t kill him. He chose death.”She paused to assimilate that and nodded, “I went to him yesterday, alone.”My hold on her tightened, “What?”“After we left Derek, I went to s
Luisa’s POV I trailed back the path I just left with Kingston. I wasn’t supposed to be back here, but I had been doing daring things and was ready to take it up a notch. I wasn’t trying to be brave or pretending to be, but I wanted to make something clear to him, and I know I’m the only one who can pass the message loud and clear. I was expecting some kind of security to guard the building in case of an attempted escape – and I have my perfect excuse at the tip of my tongue.Alas! There was no one.The door was closed firmly, and the key was attached to it. It made no sense, but barely anything makes sense these days. When I came with Kingston, there was no one at the door, but I had expected that was because Kingston was there. I thought once he left, someone would be guiding him, like Jimmy, ensuring there was no way to escape.Well, I guessed attaching a key to the lock made it safe. I unlocked the door and stepped in slowly. My senses were on alert. Maybe someone was guiding hi
Luisa’s POVI wasn’t wicked. I wasn’t the type that sees others in pain and gets happy, but I was when I saw Derek there. I thought it would be a painful experience, but it was just the closure I needed – knowing he wasn’t anywhere that could be dangerous to my family. Knowing he couldn’t escape gave me some peace of mind.After walking a few distances from him, Kingston stopped us, “Are you okay?”I frowned. I know he was trying to protect me, but I wasn’t some kind of weak female. I wanted him to know that. “I’m fine.”He didn’t smile, “I just want to make sure you are really fine. It’s your first time seeing such a sight.”That’s true. I might have felt pity for someone else, but I didn’t feel pity towards him. We continued walking, and an idea boomed in my head, “How about we celebrate?”“Celebrate.”I nod, “Remember that we couldn’t go on our honeymoon because of the situation. How about we start our celebration now?”He raised a brow in astonishment. He had rubbed on me. No
Kingston’s POV.My hand hurt, and I wrapped a cloth around it bruises on it. I wasn’t ready to stop what I was doing. I grabbed Derek’s collar and moved him closer to me, but he was all limp. His lips were bruised and covered in blood. I was certain, I must have knocked off one or two of his teeth, but he forced a smile towards me, showing his bloody teeth.It was getting boring to me.I loved it when he struggled, and could still talk about how Luisa was his. How all I was doing wouldn’t make him leave her alone? How she was going to realize I wasn’t good enough for her?It was fun when he had the fight in him, but now, it was boring. He could barely talk, even if he wanted to.I threw him back, flexing my hand, and turned towards Jimmy who stood at the edge of the door. “No food for him today?”Jimmy nodded, and I headed to the bathroom washing off his filthy blood. I bathed thoroughly and changed my clothes before heading to my family. There was no way to hide my bruises so
Luisa POVI didn’t take my eyes off Derek from the rearview. I could hardly believe he was her in the car with handcuffs. My gaze momentarily went to Rena and I paled – it was my fault. The bruise on her lips was all because of me. It should be my lips, not hers.“I am sorry, Rena.”She turned towards me and winced a bit touching the bruise, “It's okay. It’s what I signed up for.”I chuckled, “You didn’t sign up for a bruise on your face, that’s all on me.”She shrugged, “Regardless, I am just glad to be of help. Honestly.”Fabian snorted. I glared at him, but that didn’t keep him shut.“I can’t believe you lied to me, Jenny. You were the one I was looking for and you sent me up.”If it wasn’t for the bruise on Rena’s lips, I might have felt guilty for lying to him, but I felt nothing. “That’s because you weren’t willing to know the truth. You only heard the story from one person's perspective and you jumped to a conclusion. I can’t put my trust in someone who blindly trusts
Kingston’s POVThis place was a hotel in disguise. It was hard to believe that there was a hotel without security, but the first point of contact was the receptionist. While we were trying to follow Rena’s dot, she stopped us with a smile.“Welcome to Numb Hotel. How can we be of service to you?”I frowned, and turned towards her, improvising, “We need a room.”She mentioned the price, and I could hardly believe how cheap this hotel was. It might have been the reason they lacked security and safety. She pressed a bell on the table, and we waited – each second painfully long until another woman came out from somewhere. She was fat and her stomach seemed to be obstructing her from moving normally.“Follow me.” She said.She started moving us in the opposite direction of the blue dot. I stopped and she copied me, “Any problem?”I pointed towards the direction, “I want a room on that side.”She sighed as if she had been afraid we were planning on canceling. I guess they do need mon
Luisa’s POVTracking someone wasn’t as easy as it was portrayed in movies. It was way more stressful, and it didn’t help that they were on foot while we were following them in a car. They kept boarding different public buses. After some time I took a nap. It took a while for me to wake up and see that we were following a new bus. Kingston turned and smiled at me, “You are awake. I think we are almost there. This is the mall where I met that idiot.”I looked out of the window. Of course, I knew the idiot he was talking about, but I didn’t say a word. The town Derek seemed to be hiding in wasn’t what I expected. It looked like a small town with fewer people. The mall Kingston had pointed out didn’t have a lot of people shopping there. It might have been the reason they were able to corner him without anyone to help him.“Where are they now?”“In the bus, ma,” Jimmy responded. I nodded thinking of what Rena would feel like at the moment. Her last words ring in my head, but I can
Kingston’s POV“I think we should be getting ready now.”The moment I heard Luisa say that I placed my hand on the steering, but I didn’t move. I could see the eagerness in Luisa, but nothing was happening. It was just Rena looking around as if she was searching for someone; probably she was looking for that Fabian guy. No one had seen him this morning. They know to report to me once he was sight, but I haven’t received any message from anyone, it only meant one thing, no one has seen him. Rena stopped and placed her phone in her ears.“I think she is calling Fabian,” Luisa said. I smirked at her, everyone could see that but she was so eager to point everything out. If it was up to me, she wouldn’t be following us in this operation, but she had planned and worked on everything. I wouldn’t want to be the one to deprive her of the joy of achieving something. Plus, it would be good for her to see that Derek wasn’t invisible. I wanted nothing more than for her to be at ease with
Luisa’s POVI didn’t sleep all through the night. Kingston didn’t sleep either. He kept trying to keep me calm, but I had a lot of things going through my head. I had handed Chris over to Jenny. Kingston had instructed the security in the house to increase immediately after we were out of the mansion. He didn’t believe Fabian would keep it a secret from Derek. According to him, Fabian was the loyal type, and it would be difficult for someone loyal to keep a secret from his boss. That didn’t help my anxiety, it only added to it.All I did was pace around trying to figure out what hadn’t happened. I had never felt so paranoid in my life.“Calm down, dear. Nothing bad is going to happen.” Kingston said. He was sitting on the bed, his gaze continued to follow me as I moved.“I know, but what if he hurts Rena before we get there.”He sighed, “We are going to get him before he gets close to Rena.”I nodded because I trusted Kingston. I believe if he says it was going to happen, then
