***Fancy's POV**What is he trying to do? I'm sure he's trying to calm the situation. “I know all of you present must be wondering what that is on the screen. Most of you might think this is a prank, but let me say this. It's not a prank at all!”The hall went dead with screams, taking their gazes to my mom with fright in their eyes. I instantly went pale when I heard these words coming from Kyle. “What the fuck are you trying to do, Kyle!” Jacob asked, marching over to meet him but way before he could get to Kyle, some group of unknown men immediately stopped Jacob from reaching out to Kyle. “I know you're confused and must be wondering why I was suddenly speaking against the Logan's when, as most of you know, I'm in a relationship with the daughter of the accused. Actually, this was all a plot to get into the family.”Immediately, I collapsed on the ground with trembling hands. At the same time, I felt sick to my stomach. Just then, Kyle took his gaze to my mother, but what I saw
***Kyle's POV**I know I wasn't going to shoot, but anything to scare her into telling the truth is something I was willing to do. “You had better start talking, else I'll pull the trigger!” “Kyle please, have mercy. My mom just said she's innocent. I'm sure there's a mistake somewhere. It's impossible for her to have done that which you're accusing her of.”My anger has taken the best part of me. My dad will die soon, but these people are pleading for the culprit and saying she's innocent. So my dad who only had less than two months to live, isn't worth being released even though he was innocent?“Out of my way!” I yelled at the top of my voice. “No! I will not let you kill my mom, Kyle. You'll have to shoot me first!” Jacob yelled. How can they be this cruel? I looked around and everyone seemed to be worried for Mrs. Diana. “Kyle, please have mercy. We can talk this out in private, I'm begging you…” Fancy cried and tried to reach out to me, but those I hired pulled her down, m
***Kyle's POV***I slowly took my gaze to Mr. Devon, who didn't say a word as of the moment. Do I still need to know why he's not saying anything when it's pretty obvious? “Kyle, I don't know what the judgment will be. Look, I know you did all this because you were desperate. I understand all this wouldn't have happened if only there was a way out for you, but you understand that we live in a world where even the slightest of crimes can put you behind bars.”For the rest of the drive, I didn't say a word. I didn't even ask him where we were headed until we came to a stop in front of a five-star hotel.I looked at Mr. Devon, who heaved a long deep sigh?“You’ll be staying here for the night. You need to get rid of the clothes you're putting on and wash off the blood on your hands," he stated, looking exhausted. “Mr. Devon, why are you still trying to help me when I'm a murderer now?”He gently took his gaze in my direction. The look in his eyes showed nothing but sadness. “Kyle, I'm
Kyle's POV**I shouldn't be here. I need to find a way out from the situation I had gotten myself into. Just as I was about to pull out all the pins fixed on my body, the door to the room fled open. A man in a white gown and Mr. Devon walked in. When they noticed I was awake, Mr. Devon went wide in surprise. “Coach, you're finally awake!”“Mr. Devon, what happened? How did you find me?”Mr. Devon's expression turned into anger. “Didn't I tell you not to think of anything and just go to bed?”“It's not that easy, and you know-” I paused when I realized I wasn't the only one in the room. Good thing Mr. Devon has signaled me earlier with his eyes, which made me pause. “Uhm, actually what made you pass out was lack of sleep and exhaustion. You seem to have been under a lot of pressure lately, am I wrong?" The doctor asked, looking into my eyes. At this point, my hands shivered. It appeared the doctor was judging me for my wrongdoing. Mr. Devon must have noticed I had trembled so he pre
***Kyle's POV**I sauntered to the wardrobe and took out the letter from the bag. I walked back to the bed and stared at the big brown envelope. Just what on earth could be inside? I guess I'll have to find out for myself. I hope it's not something to make me worse. By the way, I've received letters in my mailbox in the past and none of them were scary. I'm guessing it's about work, right? With shaky hands, I opened the envelope. I don't understand why, but for some reason, I can't seem to relax with this envelope. I shut my eyes briefly at that moment and heaved a long, deep sigh. No matter what is in there, I must find out for myself. With that, I pulled out the letter inside, or so I thought. But what came out from the envelope was shockingly, pictures. I creased my brow in a frown, wondering why there are pictures sent to me in my mailbox. I inspected the picture and saw a beautiful lady with dark long hair and a pretty smile. She's not someone I've seen before. I checked the
***Kyle's POV***As soon as the other person on the line picked up the call, I held my breath. “Hello?” The voice sounded soft and mild. It was that of a woman. "H…hello, I don't know who you are, but I got this number, which was written on a parcel containing pictures and a flash drive. “My goodness! Kyle, is that the name?” I froze when she called my name. Who is this? "Yes…may I know who you are, please?"“If you really want to know, then find me at the address. I'll send you your phone now.”She ended the call and in no later than 5 minutes, my phone buzzed. I looked at my screen and noticed that it was a message containing the address of a hotel. “Meet me here tomorrow, 8am.” The message stated. Immediately, I stood up from my bed and began pacing from one end to the next. I bit my lower lips. Numerous thoughts are flying through my mind, but I just can't settle for one. At this point, I wouldn't deny the fact that I've become unstable, unfortunately.What should I do? I was
**Kyle's POV**“Mrs. Diana…” she trailed off. “Kyle, you know nothing of what's going on, and I would really appreciate it if you can listen to what I'm about to tell you.”“This is why I came here in the first place, so shoot!”The lady took a deep breath and continued. “Like you must have seen in the video, I used to be your father's mistress. Now I know you'll judge me for it, and I agree I was greedy and didn't know how to treat myself better. But you see, coming from a background where love is scarce, finding someone like Dortmund was like a dream come true. He showed me just how I could have been loved, and I couldn't help falling helplessly in love with him.”I gritted my teeth in anger, hearing this from the lady. Looking at her, I noticed tears dripping from the corners of her eyes as she explained. “When I got pregnant, I had thought Dortmund would be happy and love me more, but that didn't happen. He spent money on me for sure, but I had no idea that those monies he spent
**Kyle's POV**As soon as we arrived at the hospital premises, I reached for the car door, but Devon immediately called to my attention, “Kyle, what the hell is going on? You can talk to me, you know that, right?”I looked at him, but whatever I had to say struck in my throat. I can't bring myself to explain anything to him at this moment. I was barely holding on. “It's okay. You don't need to explain things to me yet. But I want you to know that you cannot lose yourself to anger. Please, you must not make another mistake.”"Trust me, there shall be no mistakes from now on.”Just as I was about to get down, I remembered the envelope which I had left in the back seat of Devon's car and I quickly retrieved it. “I'll let you know once I'm done inside.”“Alright, I'll be waiting.”As soon as I entered the room, I saw my dad resting on the bed with his hand on his chest. The minute he heard the door, he turned his gaze towards me and struggled to sit up straight. “Son, you're here. I wa
**Fancy's POV***Just as I exclaimed, he came out of the kitchen, wearing an apron, and carrying a tray containing food. I was shocked to see this.“Hi! Glad you're back. Please have a seat,” he said, placing the tray on top of the dining table. I couldn't believe my eyes, and this was because it was a rare sight, seeing Kyle in an apron making dinner. I have known him to always order a take out. If my guess is right, the only time I've seen him serve breakfast in bed was the morning after our first sex. He wasn't wearing an apron then, so this looks like a different level entirely. “Mom, take a seat already,” Nathan urged and only then did I realize I have been standing in one spot and staring at him with eyes wide open in surprise. I slowly walked over to the seat next to Nathan and sat down. Kyle served Tamales for dinner and the aroma undeniably made my mouth water. Nathan was the first to take a bite and he exclaimed, “Hmm this is delicious!” he said, licking his lips with e
**Fancy's POV***As soon as I left Kyle's car, I took a taxi to the hospital to sew my dad. Since it was morning I'm sure my mom was there too. Just as I had thought, the moment I opened the door to my dad's room I was shocked to see my mom there just as I had expected. “My goodness! Fancy, you didn't let us know you were coming.”My mom said, staring at me with surprise. “I'm sorry mom. I know I should have informed you but I wanted to surprise you,” I said with a smile but realized I wasn't even carrying a flower, since I was coming to see my dad. “I'm so sorry dad. This is indeed my bad. I should have brought you some flowers.”“Oh come on, honey. You're all the flowers I ever needed. I'm glad you came to see me.” My dad said with a smile. Just then, I noticed him looking behind me. “What about my grandson? It's been a long time since I last saw him.”“Oh, about Nathan… He's actually in school, dad.”“That's good.”My dad said with satisfaction. “Fancy, may I have a word wit
**Fancy's POV**I creased my brow, wondering what the maid wants at this time of the night. I strolled to the door without asking if it was Ophelia or someone else. I quickly opened the door while adjusting my robe from my shoulders, but I instantly went pale when I saw Kyle at the door. I froze where I stood with my gaze up at him. “What do you want!”“Please don't sound this way. I only wanted to speak with you.”“About?” I asked with a creased brow. “I wished to know if you found the place adjustable.”I heaved a deep sigh and slowly came out of my room. “Well, I'm sorry you already know how I feel about this place.” I said, walking ahead of him at a slow pace. “I actually have no idea. That's why I'm asking,” he replied behind me. I quickly paused and turned around to face him. “Kyle, stop trying to win favors with me. Who you should actually care about is our son, not me. Don't think because I'm here with you, I've completely forgotten what you did!”He went silent for a wh
**Fancy's POV**After touching my face, I looked in the mirror and let out a low gasp. My face had changed and looked healthy. At this point, while staring at my reflection in the mirror, I couldn't help the tears that dripped from my eyes. I wished things were better. I wished all the things I suffered were just a long nightmare.But if they should be nightmares, doesn't mean Nathan wouldn't be real? The mere thought alone made me shake my head at once. I've lived with Nathan for so long, and living in a world without him would be torture. So, at the end of the day, I have to stick with the bitter truth that Kyle and I have a bad blood that can never be reconciled. Though I truly hope that things could change. After dressing up, I decided to go down for breakfast. Just as I descended the stairs I spotted the dinning being prepared by Ophelia. But something else caught my eyes that made me freeze for a few moments. I was shocked to see Kyle and Nathan all seated quietly on the dini
**Fancy's POV***I can't believe I had slept until it was 8pm, and I only had to wake up when I heard a loud knock on the door. I slowly stood up from bed and went to get the door. To my surprise, it was the laid, Ophelia, who helped me transport my luggage back to the room I realized I was originally given. When I found out that it was necessarily Kyle who wanted that, I couldn't help but bad mouth him for what he didn't do. I heaved a long deep sigh after my luggage was transported back to my own room. Now I at least have a space of my own to avoid bumping into him because it's definitely not something I want to be doing in the coming times. The day went on smoothly. After dinner, Nathan decided he preferred to watch his favorite night sports before going to bed. I had wanted to refuse him like I did back at home, but then I somehow felt guilty that doing that in his dad's house was me trying to take away the privilege of him being in his father's house. I mean, who am I to tell
***Kyle's POV***After the business meeting, Ai just couldn't wait to get home. Though Ray had told me earlier that they had successfully settled in the house. But then, I was still a little worried, especially with Fancy. I wonder if she's okay with the villa or if she despises it as much as she despises me. “Mr. Kyle, we are pleased the meeting is finally over,” Mr. Sheriff announced as he stretched out his hand for a handshake. “I'm glad it's over as well. Now we can all go home and have some rest.”“You're right. My son's birthday is tomorrow. I need to take the earliest flight back to Mexico.” Sheriff stated. When he mentioned, son, I couldn't help but think about Nathan. I wonder what day Nathan was born. The only person who can actually give me these details is no one else but Fancy. But then I wonder if she'll tell me. She seemed to hate me with so much passion and I understand why, though. After bidding farewell to my colleague, I went to my hotel room. Before leaving, I
***Fancy's POV***I didn't realize just how tired I was until I heard someone say, “We are finally here, ma'am.” I wasn't a deep sleeper, so it was easy for me to hear whatever was said in my sleep. I sharply opened my eyes, only to see Ray staring back at me from the front seat. “Ma'am, we are finally at the Villa now.”“Oh, I dozed off,” I was explaining, but Ray shook his head. “It is highly understandable, considering the journey is quite far.”I slowly took my head downwards only to realize that I wasn't actually the only one who slept, but Nathan as well. After asking all the questions in the world, he finally fell asleep. Wonderful! “May I help you with him?” Ray offered, but I whiffled my head. There's no need for that, Ray. Don't let our matters affect you.” He quickly got the door, and I carried Nathan on my shoulder as I came out of the car. But what I met made me freeze at the spot where I stood. Never in my wildest dream did I ever think this is Kyle's Villa. My goodnes
**"Fancy's POV***Just as I took Nathan into the house, I was shocked to see my mom in the living rooms carrying a confused expression. "Fancy, whose car was that, dropping you off outside our apartment?” If I told my mom about it, she'll surely go ballistic. But if I don't tell her about it, she'll become curious and suspect that I'm beginning to hide things from her. I don't want any of that and so the only way out for me is to tell her what she wants to hear. "Mom, give me some time to get Nathan ready for bed, I'll explaine everything to you.""Alright honey. Have a good night's sleep my darling." My mom said to Nathan and he quickly rushed towards her and kissed her on the cheeks. "Goodnight, grandma..." Nathan said climbing up the stairs in excitement. "My goodness! What could have made Nathan this happy, I wonder?"I know my mom is confused about today's happenings because I never told her anything from the very start. I wonder how she would feel after I tell her now. After
***Kyle's POV***This was like a blessing in disguise. If I had known Nathan would act this way just so me and his mom could be together, I would have tried my best to plan something up with my son. He didn't have to go into hiding this way. At this point, I wouldn't deny the fact that my son is more courageous and bold than I was when it comes to fighting for the things we want. Ordinarily, I know Fancy would rather die than agree to be with me for the sake of Ethan but at this point, I wonder if she would still feel the same way. This was because, earlier when I saw her crying over Nathan, I knew she loved him more than life itself. And honestly this made me feel less of myself. I thought that I didn't deserve to be called a father at all. Fancy's love for our son seems to supersede whatever affection I have for him. But then, I will not discredit myself by saying I do not care for my son much. Seeing him cry broke my heart. "What do you want to say?” Fancy asked impatiently but
