Kingston's POVThe thoughts of Luisa meeting other guys irked me so much. I wasn't the jealous type and we were not dating but she was the mother of my child. That alone gives me the right to set certain boundaries in her affairs. She could meet some psychopath who would end up be my son step father and treating him badly.Just thinking of Naomi married to another man was annoying. Then she started going to school, where young red blooded men were. Soon, she would interact with them, then get to know them better and creat a bond. I rather she stay in my mansion attending online classes, I would sponsor her to any level she wanted, but she was so stubborn. She was stubborn and that's why she was still working as a maid in my mansion when I already asked her stop.Imagine the mother of my child working as a maid in my house. And that friend of hers that keep setting her up for blind date under my roof, I would love to have a conversation with her."You are gripping the pen too much
Kingston's POVWhen the first picture hits my inbox, I knew that someone was going to get hurt soon. Some young boy was beside Luisa in every picture. He was beside her the moment she got in front of the school gate - like they had planned to meet in front of the gate. Then, he was beside her in the cafeteria - just the both of them. And she was smiling at him. I had rarely seen her smile at me and she gave him all of her attention. He was also beside her when she was coming out of school, his hand was placed on the lower part of her back. I hissed placing my phone down in annoyance. She had been avoiding me, and she had been giving this little boy all of her attention. I wanted all her attention on me. I called Jimmy who came within minutes. "I need you to employ one of the best bodyguards out there. I need something that would guard Luisa. Things are about to get messy."He didn't ask why or how but went out to complete the task that had been handed to him. Anot
Luisa's POVI thought it was all a joke until it wasn't a joke. Kingston had come and laid down all his opinions on me and I wasn't able to say a word yet. The next hours, three maids were in my room moving my things upstairs, although one of them was staring at me openly with so much bitterness. Jenny was beside me smiling like she just hit a jackpot. "Told you he digs you."I glared at her but she didn't stop smiling. She derives joy in my mystery. I carried some of the luggage myself and tried stopping the maid from helping out, but they insisted - Miss Andreas was monitoring everything.My new room was bigger than my whole former house. The bed in the middle was massive. I put Chris on the floor while I tried to take in my new surroundings. I might have given up on the room but there was no way I was giving up my privacy and school. Just like the way he barged into my room to dictate things, I was also going to barge into his room to tell him what I was going to do with
Kingston's POvThe journalist I invited to the mansion was one of the best left. I hated journalists because most of what they wrote about me was just a figment of their imagination. So, before they ended up creating lots of false stories about my son, I decided to invite one of them who wouldn't bring up stories, just to make the article sell better, and she respects families.It took pleading in the form of a threat before Luisa came out to join the interview. I already had all the questions the journalist would ask and how we were to respond to each of them. Everything was scripted and I preferred it that way. Luisa was dressed in a green gown that hug her body, it brought out the little curve in her body and kiss every of her body. I had never been jealous of clothes before. I was losing my mind. It was one of the gowns I had gifted her while Chris and I wore a similar suit. I smiled at how similar he was to me, it was the same look we had - he was just younger and less tired.
Luisa's POV"Prove it then, Luisa" His voice was casual but I knew the game he was trying to play. I moved back slowly to the bed thinking of ways I could prove him wrong when I knew deep within me that he was right. Should I just tell him that he was right or should I try and see if I can prove him wrong?"What are you waiting for? Are you scared of the challenge?" he raised one of his perfect eyebrows up. He was the master in this game and I knew I was a pawn. The only way to get out of my situation now was to play along with him. I sighed, "Okay, you won. I can't prove you wrong. Can you give me the key now? I have to go to Chris." Anything that would make me leave his presence was. fast by me. He stared at me. I couldn't figure out what he was thinking. "I never took you as one who would just forfeit like that."He was not giving up. "Maybe, you just don't know me well enough."A smirk appeared on his face like I just said exactly what he wanted me to say. "I guess this is w
KINGSTON’S POV“There is no way you are getting married to that girl. She doesn’t deserve to be a Sanchez” My mother’s glare was fixed on me and I could tell that she already made up her mind but I already made mine too.I ignored her, focusing on my meal as if it was the most fascinating thing I ever saw. The last time I visited was three years ago after my fallout with Clarissa. Clarissa was the perfect daughter-in-law my mother wanted for me. She was from a prestigious family. She had a good degree and she was from money. Getting married to Clarissa would be of great advantage to Sanchez’s empire. My mother wanted that for herself. She already had plans on how to show off Clarissa to the world. Where they would go on their first mother and daughter-in-law vacation. Anyone would have thought my mother was the one getting married. Although we were already billionaires but having more money was important. At first, I didn’t care because I liked her, but after she cheated m
LUISA’S POVI hated the feeling of being watched, knowing that there was someone behind me who was monitoring every step I take was not an amazing feeling for me. Ever since the article of our interview was published, my face became known. I couldn’t follow the public bus to school anymore. In fact, I was not enjoying my school life. Almost everyone wanted to be close, even those that had ignored me on the first day of school. I hated attention, so I had to take a break from school and focus on other things.Mrs Sanchez had been coming to the mansion to talk about our wedding plan, although, I clearly told her I wasn’t interested in getting married to her son. To her, it only seemed like I don’t have a voice and my opinion was not important. She ignored me and proceeded with the plan. The only normalcy my life had was whenever I visited my mother. It always feels nice discussing with someone that understands me well. Although that bit of normalcy was mostly obstructed knowi
KINGSTON POV“I want all those false news off from every blog and newspaper. I want you to erase it like it never existed in the first place. Can’t you do your damn job properly? The post was not supposed to surface in the first instance.”I was angry.“And I want you to call Jared to make sure Luisa is safe wherever she is. I want her protected twenty-four/ seven. I don’t care how it’s done but nothing about her must surface on the internet anymore. I don’t expect a sneak of their picture or their location online.”Seth nodded. He was supposed to be in charge of any of my affairs on the internet. It was no secret that journalists and those rats that called themselves bloggers would always want to write something about me, so, I employed Seth to block most of the irrelevant news regarding me. If the news was just about me, I wouldn’t have been angry but I hated the fact that Luisa and Chris were dragged into this mess with me. After dishing out all the necessary task I felt wa
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
