I think something was wrong with me.

The world seemed to stop and everyone stood there unmoving like statues.

I believed my ears weren't working because there was no way they said my little survivor was missing.

“Kitten?” Someone that sounded oddly like Davian called but the haze of denial wouldn't let me identify who it was.

“Who did you say was missing again?” I asked, even though everything around me was slowly looking like a fog I couldn't navigate through.

“Ro…”

Davian didn't get to complete his words when he was interrupted by a heart-wrenching choked scream.

“Mika” Shiro called painfully and I realized it came from me. My throat was closing up. I couldn't breathe.

I reached out my hand to Davian needing a pillar and he was at my side in an instant drawing me into his arms.

“Breathe, Kitten.” He urged but I couldn't “I promise you I will turn the earth over to find him today” He promised but I didn't want promises. I just wanted my little boy.

“How? How did it happen?” I coul

    I didn’t look back as I walked out of the house. Davian held my hand while we walked back to the car waiting.“Good job, baby.” Davian praised when the car began to roll out of the compound.From the back seat of the car, I saw Sabrina run out of the house but she was on the phone speaking to someone frantically.“Guess she got your message loud and clear” Davian commented, watching her with dark eyes. “I know it sounded like a threat but I would do it. I would ask Shiro to get rid of Blair if anything happened to my baby.” I told him as fear warmed up to me.Davian looked into my eyes “You don't have to get dirty blood on your hands, Kitten. If anything happens to Little Ro, even Death will betray them by the time I am done with them” Davian growled.“Let’s go home.” I told him “There is no need to go back to his school. I hope she returns my baby in thirty minutes or I’ll send hers back to her in a body bag” I leaned my head back against the chair and closed my eyes so I could pra

    Ronan was fast asleep. It was night time already and Shiro had let Blair go a few hours ago. I adjusted the blanket over Ronan as he slept soundly. Davian had gone out for a little bit so I had to put Ronan to sleep even though he wanted to wait for his Dad.I continued to pat him over the blanket softly when he fussed a little so he could stay asleep. “I'm not losing you too. It'll be over my dead body before they take you from me” I whispered as I watched him sleep.Today was the scariest moment of my life. No amount of payback would have been capable of soothing the pain in my heart and soul if my baby had been taken. I shook my head to discard the thoughts. I shouldn't think about losing him. It was a bad omen to think about negative things late at night according to Obaasan.My baby was here. He was safe with me. School closes next week and I know I promised Isa that Ronan would spend a week with her before going to Japan but I couldn't risk it.Until Ian was found, Ronan woul

    Ronan went to Tokyo yesterday and I buried myself in my work because I didn’t want to dwell on how much I missed my baby. I arrived at work very early and started going through documents that didn’t need to be reviewed for weeks just to stop myself from calling Grandma and asking her to send my baby back to me.It was funny since I was the one who never wanted him to come here and now I was the one who didn’t want him to leave my side.I tried to keep Grandma from finding out about Roman’s kidnapping but she already knew. That left me with another task. I needed to find whoever she had watching me but because I was surrounded by a lot of people, it would be a difficult task for me and Shiro.The door to my office was rudely pushed open and the sound resonated through the entire office as the door slammed against the wall loudly. I wanted to shout at the person for opening the door loudly like that and almost causing me a heart attack but the words died in my throat as soon as I saw

    DAVIAN’S POVI kept my eyes on my wife the entire ride with a heavy feeling in my heart. My emotions were conflicting, switching between rage, fear and sorrow. Rage towards the people responsible, fear that she hasn’t said a word since I picked her up and sorrow at the sufferings she was enduring because of the accusations on that page. It was brutal and heartless, the things they accused her of and I felt sick that a fellow woman would do that to their kind. Maliah was out of the car as soon as it came to a stop in front of the house. I doubt she was aware of what she was doing as she walked into the house numbly. I sighed in defeat as I watched her go but made no effort to stop her or follow her. I know she needed space and she hasn’t replied or said anything to me since I picked her up from her office.“Leave” I ordered my driver. He turned off the car and left the car, leaving me to my thoughts. Everywhere turned deadly silent and I closed my eyes with another tired sigh as r

    DAVIAN's POVI followed the voices to the balcony. My mother and sister had offered to come over so they could keep Maliah company.I leaned against the door and watched Harvey try to make small talk with my kitten but just like she had been for the past week, she just stared off into space and said nothing to either of them.I was going to keep the news of Ronan's kidnapping from them but I was at my wits end with Maliah. There was nothing I did to make her talk to me that worked.Shiro asked me to leave her alone. He said forcing her out of this place she had kept herself wasn't going to work but there was no way I was going to let her remain like this. She had grown thin and pale because she wasn't eating well. I was scared and worried about her. For the first time since Ronan left for Japan, I was glad he wasn't here to see her like this.My mom noticed me by the door and made her way towards me. "Did she say a word to you?" I asked even though I already knew the answer. They ha

    “Are you comfortable?” Davian asked me and I could only bring myself to nod in reply. We were in bed and he insisted on holding me in his arms. I felt guilty that I had dragged him from his other activities and forced him into staying with me at home. “You don’t have to stay at home. I’ll be fine on my own” I whispered, keeping my gaze out of the window and staring at the clouds.The rain had just finished falling and it was a storm, just like how it was inside my head. The raging war of torment, guilt and fear all fought each other and I was helpless against it all.“You are not fine, Kitten. I’m not going to leave you by yourself when you live in your head these days” He answered with a sigh.I shifted uncomfortably in his hold. He was frustrated but I don’t know if it was at me and I wouldn’t blame him if that was the case. I’m frustrated at myself too.“I’m sorry” I muttered, tears welling up in my eyes against my will. I reached up to wipe the tears angrily before they would dr

    DAVIAN’S POVWe settled into the private jet that had been provided by Maliah’s grandmother to take us to Japan.My mother and Harvey were chatting excitedly as though we didn’t have more than one of our own while my Dad sat with a grim expression and hasn’t said a word since.Mother and Harvey were quick to accept the invitation without complaints. Mom said she also wanted to meet Maliah’s only family while Harvey just wanted an excuse for a vacation.My Dad, however, wasn’t happy. He was sceptical about us going to Japan on a short notice especially to meet Maliah’s Grandmother.As someone who has been in the corporate world for a long time, he was very much aware of who the Ishiis’ are, and how dangerous the family could be.He had a lot of reservations when I broke the news to him. First, he was angry that I would get married to an Ishii without informing him when I was aware of the reputation that the family was known for. I had to explain that I wasn’t aware of their connections

    Granda and Papa Kenji were waiting when the car rolled to a stop in front of the house. I flinched when I noticed Grandma was holding a walking stick. How did her health deteriorate this fast?I was out of the car on auto-rotate when it stopped. My body tingled with the familiar warmth when she smiled at me. “Mika” Grandma's smile wavered and I saw her eyes watered. "Come, child. Give your grandmother a hug" She beckoned me and I rushed forward to wrap my arms around her.“Obaasan” My voice broke as she hugged me. I inhaled the familiar smell of herbs she always carried with her. “My dear Mika. Welcome home child” She patted my back softly and it was difficult to not break down in tears again. I had cried so much that my eyes were stinging even without any traces of tears. Tears pickled in my eyes but I held it back. I didn't want to cry in front of Davian and his family. They were here to meet Grandma for the first time. “You will be fine. I'll take care of everything” Grandma pr

  • REVENGE and TEMPTATIONS    Epilogue

    Three Years Later:I checked my appearance for the nth time. I was nervous, but I was also excited because today was my baby's first recital.I can’t believe three years have passed since everything happened. My life has been so happy. I can’t ever remember it’s signing my life when I felt this much peace for such a long time.I had nothing to worry about; I was surrounded by people who loved me and supported me. It was insane that I had a life that was so perfect.My phone began ringing, and he picked it up from the table in front of me."Obaasan,” I cried out happily as soon as he answered the call. “I was just going to call you.” I said it with a smile in my voice.“I’m sure you were,” she teased. Ever since I promised to call her one day and I forgot to do so, she never believed me. I told her I wanted to call her.“I promise. I was going to call you because I wanted to talk to you before we left the house,” I said with a pout.“You haven’t left yet?” She questioned me with an acc

    “I’ll wait for you by the car." Divine pressed the kiss to my forehead and walked back to the car while I made my way into the cemetery.I haven’t been here since dad was buried, and it was weird, to say the least. I missed him a lot, and I was sorry that I had never visited since the six years he had been here.Maybe I was ashamed because of the hate I felt towards him in the four years that followed his death.It didn’t take long for me to reach this spot where he was buried. Words could not describe the emotions that were flowing through me as I placed the flower on the grave.“Hi dad,” I whispered, and I took a seat on the grass beside his grave. Thankfully, Shiro had paid someone to always make sure that the grave was always clean and well taken care of, so there were no overgrown grasses or thorns on the bed.“I’m sorry I haven’t visited in a very long time. I was very angry because of the misunderstanding caused by Sabrina. I’m sure you must have been lonely.” I’m also cute, wh

    I groaned as my eyes opened groggily. The first thing I noticed was that I was no longer in the hospital room.I lurched forward in shock, but my body was dragged back with a force that caused me to look down. I was tied to a chair, and the movement has caused pain to travel up my healing hand.Blood trickled down the bandaged hand, meaning I must have hurt it while trying to move. I winced as the pain from the hand increased.“Can I get a fucking break? I was just shot and now kidnapped.” I cursed and looked to the ceiling, but there was nothing to look at.The roof was falling, and I doubt it would hold if a storm were to happen.“And an abandoned warehouse too,” I scoffed when I took in my surroundings. Judging from the look of this place, I’m sure no one has been here in years.“Aren’t you going to come out, Sabrina?” I called when no one would step forward or speak to me.I wasn’t stupid. I could feel eyes on me, so I knew she and whoever helped her bring me here were in the shad

    I could hear the loud beeping, but my eyes wouldn’t open, so I couldn't see where I was. One thing was certain, though. I wasn’t in bed with Davian, as the bed was too hard and the sheets over me weren’t familiar.“Maliah?” I heard Davian whisper. It sounded like he was so close yet so far, and I tried to pry my eyes open, but it wouldn’t budge.“Are you awake? Can you hear me?” He asked again, but this time his voice was more desperate.I was also desperate to open my eyes so I could see the family grey eyes I fell in love with, but my body seemed to have forgotten how to function.“Can you twitch your hands for me, love, if you can hear me? Please, baby,” he pleaded, and I tried my best to move any part of my body.I hated that tone on him. I didn’t like how desperate and almost close to tears he was. My brain wasn’t functioning well, and I was having a hard time figuring out why I was here, unable to open my eyes or move, or even what had happened earlier.“She moved her fingers,”

    The pain never came as I closed my eyes and waited for it. What came instead was Blair’s cry of pain, and I heard the gun clatter to the ground.I opened my eyes, and a strangled gasp escaped me when I saw the familiar custom-made tanto embedded in her hand, which had been holding the gun earlier.Blair’s other hand held the hand that was now bleeding profusely as she cried out in pain.My eyes snapped to the door to find my Oniichan standing there with a glare in his eyes and the sheath of his tanto in his hands.“What the fuck?” Blair screamed in pain.Shiro walked over to me and began to search for any signs of injuries.“I’m fine, Oniichan. Nothing happened. You came on time,” I muttered shakily.We looked behind me to see the spot where the bullet had been embedded.“We need to get that out of her hand before she loses too much blood and call the police too,” I told him.I winced as I looked at Blair again. The floor now had her blood as she cried.“What? Are you crazy?” Shiro hi

    I stilled at the question, and a cold crept up my spine. My head snapped to the back, and I gasped in fear to see Blair at my back. How did she get in?I said nothing to her at first. I wasn’t going to confront her in front of my babies, so I turned back to them with the most genuine smile I could muster.“Mummy, who is she? Is she a bad person?” Keita asked, his brows in a frown as he kept watching her from the end of the screen.“Keita, why don’t you keep your siblings company? I have to attend to my guest, and I’ll call you back as soon as I finish here, okay? Maybe Dad will be back by then, and you can talk to him too. Is that a good deal?” I proposed, knowing they might protest a bit.“Okay?” He answered with uncertainty, still not taking his eyes off Blair. “Will you be fine, Mom?” He asked again, and I nodded.“Of course, I’ll be fine. I know her,” I said, but they looked like they didn’t believe me. Just like the twins, though, Little Ro had a curious expression on his face as

    The impact of the news release was crazy. The effect was bigger than we expected, and the fans were angry. I was actually scared of the uproar the revelation of who Blair really was caused, and I was somehow worried when I saw articles of people demanding her head.“The comments are crazy, Maliah. This is bigger than we expected.” Ria said it with surprise as she scrolled through the comment section.“I know, right? It’s almost as if a saint got disgraced. I didn’t know she had this big of a fan base, and now they’ve turned on her,” I said with worry, and I glanced at the tab in my hand as well.I was also going through the comment sections, and while I was satisfied with the result, it was still alarming at how quickly people turned against others.“Apart from the comments tearing her apart, what do we have? Remember, she shouldn’t be able to recover from this.” I reminded Ria and logged out of the tab before I started gaining sympathy for Blair because of the violent threats her for

    A wide grin appeared on my face when I saw Davian climb down from the private jet. He had insisted that he would meet me at home, but I was too eager to see him. I missed him like crazy."I told you not to come," he said with a roll of his eyes as he handed the bag he was holding to the nearest bodyguard, but he had a pleased grin on his face."I missed you," I muttered before I flung myself into his waiting arms. "It felt like you were gone forever," I mumbled into his neck.Davian laughed, but his hands tightened around my waist, and he pulled me closer. I felt his lips leave kisses on my hair and the side of my head."I missed you more, kitten. Maybe we should go together next time?" He offered, and I nodded eagerly.I leaned back to kiss him just as eagerly as I felt, and he groaned against my mouth and deepened the kiss."At least wait until you are home," Kurt mused. I had almost forgotten that he had gone with Davian.Harvey and Isa chose to stay home and wait for Kurt since I

    “I still can't believe that Nova was the cause of everything. You can never fully trust anyone,” Harvey said with a shake of her head and disdain in her lips.“I'll be proving her right if I say that after everything you've done for her, but she was cruel and ungrateful to do that. She had a gem of a friend in you,” Isa added."Honestly,” I said with a sigh, “I just want to forget she existed. It's going to be hard, but I don't want to think about or talk about her. I'm just happy that we discovered everything before she did more damage.” Davian and Kurt left for Vegas for a business expo, so I decided to stay with Isa and Harvey for the two days they would be gone since I didn't want to be home alone. “You've been through a lot, child. Whatever it is that's going on, I hope you don't get hurt and keep yourself safe at all times." Isa reached out to grasp my hands and gave them a little squeeze."Thank you, Isa.
