**Kyle's POV**
“Son, when did the lawyer say I can leave? It's been years now, and it's traumatic.”
Staring at my dad, I felt so dispirited. I was 11 years old when my dad was sent to prison which means he had spent ten years in here.The young and vibrant man I know had become so frail and weak. There are now wrinkles and lines on his face. His beards had overgrown, and he didn't look like he was being properly fed. But what breaks my heart most was what I'm about to tell him.
“Dad, I have spoken to the lawyer, seeking the motion to reopen your case, but he said it'll be difficult to request for reopening since it's been a long time and there's no concrete evidence yet.”
The expression on my dad's face held nothing but disappointment and weakness, and this broke my heart terribly. Whenever I came to prison to see him, thisway, it further fuels my thirst for revenge.I had said I wasn't going to shed a tear but seeing him this way made it impossible for me to control my tears. I looked away immediately and wiped the little tear that stood at the corners of my eyes.
“Son, don't worry. I'm sure we'll get our chance,” he said and coughed badly at the same time. I quickly turned around in panic.
“Dad, what's wrong, why is your cough getting worse?”
“Hey, don't worry about me. I'll be fine.”
He said with a smile but deep down I know he's not. My dad has gotten old in prison and his health has deteriorated tremendously. This cannot go on. This is one of the reason I must make the Logans pay for what they did to my father.Mrs. Diana Logan dared to accuse my dad of fraud and molestation simply because they were competing for the same position at the company where they worked years ago. She lied against my dad for what he didn't do and this led to him being imprisoned for what he never did. Not only that, due to the shock of what happened to my dad, my mom became traumatized to the point she took her life in the process, making me an orphan with no parents around.
How could the villain stay happy with herself and family after destroying another family? I must take my revenge! I folded my hands into a tight fist and gritted my teeth.
“Kyle, are you okay?”
My dad's question quickly snapped me off my thoughts.“I'm okay dad,” I said, trying to flash him a false smile.
“Kyle, I understand how you feel, please you cannot do anything like trying to get revenge, do you understand me?”
“Dad, what do you mean?”
“Kyle, I know you. I still remember what you said when I came to jail in my first year. You said you'll avenge me and your mother, but then you were put under the care of an orphanage. I want to believe that you don't think the same way as you did ten years ago.”
I can't let my dad find out what my true plans are.“Dad, you have nothing to worry about. Though I wasn't happy about what happened to you back then, I'm going to let bygone remain bygone. I just want to have you released from prison.”
“Oh that's such a relief then,” he said, heaving a sigh.
If only my dad knew that I had already started my revenge plans.For this, I chose a school the son of my mortal enemy went to, and I befriended him.
I started by causing the accident that almost killed Jacob's father. But then, he was since he saw the truck on time, which only gave him a minor injury. I still can't accept the fact that my first attempt had failed when I had planned my revenge for years.
But not to worry, my plan B was to get the families together just so I can get my revenge. When I visited the hospital just to spy on them, I noticed that the witch was there.
Now, more than ever, I cannot relent. Whenever I think of how my mom hung herself from trauma, all I want to do is tear the Logans to a thousand pieces. That family do not deserve to live and I will forever detest The only way I'll find rest is if they meet a brutal end.
I left the prison where my dad was locked in and headed back to my apartment. I went straight to the basement where I had the whole Logan family on an investigation board.
I took out a red marker, and contemplated on whom to attack next.I wasn't going to stop simply because my first attempt had failed. I'll continue to attack them until my plans fall in place. At least they deserve that much owing to what they had done. They should pay with their lives for everything they did!
Just as I was looking for whom to attack, my gaze fell on the youngest, Fancy.
I still remember her name.I took my red marker and encircled her face, but for some reason, I developed a weird feeling. Was it because I saw her for the first time today after she left school two years ago?
She looked different and honestly when our eyes met back at the hospital, I became confused. I don't know if it was because it's been a long time since I saw her or because she now looks different. And the dress she was wearing...
I've never seen her wear a dress before except for the hoodies she always wore. Matter of fact, I've never seen a girl look so beautiful in a dress like Fancy.Shit! What was I thinking?
“Get your head in the game, Kyle!” I yelled at myself. But then, that did not help. Now that I recalled seeing her, she seemed to be stuck in my head. Why such despicable feelings?
I began to pace the room and bit my lower lips in frustration.She's the daughter of my enemy and when I say I want them to pay for what they did to me, that includes her. But can I hurt her?
“Fuck!” I threw the marker I was holding against the board. I must be out of my mind! If this continues, then it's as good as me trying to ruin my plans.
Immediately, I thought of my mother who died because of them and also my dad who had grown old in prison. With all thesw things that happened, how on earth can I afford to mess things up?
Just then, an idea struck. I think it's a good idea to have Fancy in the picture. She seemed to have a flare for me back then when we were in school. For this reason, I think I'm going to approach her by becoming her knight in shining armor, and of course, that will happen after I send my men to set the stage by pretending to hurt her for me to become the savior. If I'm able to do this, then she'll be my perfect link in getting to the other members of her family.
I heaved a deep sigh. It seems there's a better chance of me taking my revenge and that is through, Fancy.
A smile crept up my face, mere thinking of how to carry out my plan.**Fancy's POV **It was the weekend, and I'm still in Mexico. My mom had gone back to New York, but I had to stay behind since I still needed to check up on my dad and make sure that he was okay. While I was having a glass of wine at the balcony, my phone rang, and I immediately took out the phone from my pants pocket. To my greatest surprise, it was a call from Nora, a friend whom I rarely ever called since I left New York. Nora is my neighbor and a plus size just like me. We've been talking on social media but haven't had the opportunity to meet for a proper talk since I left here. “Hello, Mama.”“Oh, please don't call me that. How could you be so cruel, Fancy? You came back to Mexico and you didn't even border to call me.”“Oh my goodness! How did you know?” I asked with a gasp.“You don't actually think that there's anything that could be hidden in our neighborhood, do you? Well, I saw your brother earlier at the club, and he told me about your arrival.”“The club. He goes to th
**Fancy's POV**“What do you mean? Do you two know each other? Is that why he's coming over?” I asked, anxiously. “There you go again. I thought I told you to brace yourself? I don't understand why he's here either, but we are not that close so I can only guess one reason he's coming over and that is because of you.”I shook my head in denial. “That's highly impossible. There's no way he's here because of m-”“Hi, ladies,” his deep husky voice echoed behind me and whatever I wanted to say disappeared into thin flames. “Oh hi, Kyle. You're here.”At this point, my heart was beating fast, and I got confused if to just sit where I was or reply to his greetings. Just then, he showed up in front of me.“Good to see you again, Fancy.”I slowly looked up at his face and there, my heart skipped a thousand times. It was him I saw at the hospital. But seeing him now, looking more handsome than I had last seen him, seemed to have made me lose all of my senses. I just stared at him like a stat
**Kyle's POV***I watched her every move. The blinking of her eyes and how she bit her bottom lips nervously. I gritted my teeth, just watching her. I wouldn't deny the fact that she's such a beauty to behold but then, that's as far as it goes. She's just a chess piece and I can't let myself get wrapped in a web of complications. I sipped my wine while watching her drink her tequila.“You're not a heavy drinker, are you?”She quickly looked up at me. Her eyes were a perfect shade of blue. “No. Tequila is my only forte.”I nodded my head, not taking my eyes off her for even a minute. Her size was still baffling. I cannot comprehend how she managed to get into such a mind-blowing shape or how she shed off her nerdy lifestyle. Could this have been done by her boyfriend? Though Jacob and I didn't go into much detail about Fancy. The more I see her, the more I get interested in wanting to know more about her personal life. “Uhm, do you have something to say to me? You've just been stari
**Fancy's POV***It's been three days ever since my encounter with Kyle. This is getting more frustrating by the day. Why can't I just forget him and move on for God's sake!" I rolled on my bed, feeling highly frustrated. “Shit! Shit! Shit!” I hit my head with both hands while tossing on my bed. There's got to be a way to get rid of these unwanted feelings of mine. Just then, I heard a sharp knock on my door. “Fancy, can I come in?”That was Jacob. What the hell is he doing at my door so early in the morning? “What do you want?!” I snapped at the top of my voice. “Woah! You don't have to be so harsh this early, you know.”I didn't bother to reply to what he said and rather laid back down on my bed. “I want to speak with you about something. Please let me in, it won't take up to 2 minutes.”I sat up straight on my bed at once and rolled my eyes. “One minute!” I said, getting up from my bed. The door flew open the next second and he walked in. “Good morning, Your Highness,” Ja
**Fancy's POV**After much persuasion from Kevin, I decided to go with him. And he was right and wrong at the same time. I loved hockey just because of one person, and now I don't feel that interested in Hockey anymore, all because of that same person. The reason Kevin knows about this was because he had the opportunity to go through my resume. Little did he know that ever since I became a model, I had stopped watching Hockey. The moment we arrived at the said place for the birthday party, I was shocked to see so many guests. “I thought he was just a player. You didn't tell me he's popular.”“Well, he's quite popular in Mexico and I think you might know him,” Kevin said with much excitement. I can't help but get a little confused. Wait a minute, it can't be what I'm thinking. I mean, he's not the only Hockey Player in Mexico. As for his popularity, I have no idea how much popularity he must have gotten these past two years. Though I'm well aware of the fact that he's quite popular
**Kyle's POV**We both watched the night sky in silence. Though I'm actually not used to viewing the stars, seeing her happy face while looking at the sky made me realize that it was cool. I was supposed to be gazing at the sky currently but was rather staring at her face. Her smile was so charming that I couldn't help but get drawn in. “Beautiful!” I muttered without realizing it. “What?” She asked, taking her gaze back at me. I opened my mouth but got confused about what to say. “You mean the night sky, right?” She asked, with her gaze back at the sky now. Hell no, I can't keep dragging this on. **Fancy's POV***“No, you.”The short words from Kyle made me take a glance towards him at once. I blinked, staring at him. My heart fluttered by his mere words. My goodness! Why did he have to look me in the eye at this moment? What does he stand to gain?Just then, I let out a slight cough and averted my gaze from the awkward silence we shared in that brief moment. “Fancy, look a
**Kyle's POV***It was bewildering enough that after the day I took her home, I found her at my birthday party. I was so sure that she wanted nothing to do with me, but seeing her in my party gave me some sort of excitement that I could barely describe. While attending to my guests, I kept searching for her with my gaze. I saw her talking and smiling with Kevin, which was such an annoying sight to behold. I can't deny that when I saw them this way, I felt a little out of place. I can't describe what that feeling was all about. Probably because she never gave me the opportunity to be friends with her, but she's talking freely to Kevin whom I know she only met recently. “Hey, what's up?” The voice of Jacob immediately made me snap away from my thoughts. “Huh? Nothing much.” I denied taking my gaze away from them. “Those two, they look like they are dating, don't you think?” Jacob asked, staring at the direction which I had stopped looking at. “You mean?”“I mean my sister and
**Fancy's POV***“You can pull up at that lane,” I instructed Kevin, and he immediately pulled up at the exact location I asked him to. Quickly, I unfastened my seatbelt. “Fancy, are you okay?”The sudden question from Kevin immediately made me raise my head up to look at him. “Yes, I'm okay. Anything the matter?”“I don't know how to describe it, but you seemed quite lost in thought and quiet. In fact, you've been so silent ever since we left Kyle's birthday party. Is anything the matter? You can share with me, I'm a good listener.”Instantly, I began to feel nervous. I had tried not to show the sour mood I was in, but little did I know that no matter how much I tried to hide it, it still found its way to light. “You don't have to worry about me. I'm actually doing okay,” I muttered, trying to fake a smile. Kevin searched my eyes with a creased brow, which made me hold my breath as if he were going to find out what was wrong with me the moment I breathed out. “Are you sure you
**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
