Kevin's POV…Ariel helplessly flushed heavily afterward; her cheeks were bright pink, and she briefly looked away. I never knew she'd get so flustered to the extent she couldn't speak. I snickered as I let go out her hands. The air was getting somewhat awkward, but thankfully the reappearance of the waiter cleared it. He placed our dishes on the table as he dashed out a friendly smile. “Food's here” I spoke, and she finally faced me. Yet, she didn't maintain eye contact. Ariel gently removed her jacket, revealing her blemish free but pale skin. I marvelled at how effortlessly beautiful she can be. She noticed my persistent gaze, then snapped her fingers in my face.“Yeah?” I curved an eyebrow, although I never broke my gaze on her. “Aren't you going to eat?” she asked with a small smile; it's obvious she's slightly shy. “If you're on the menu I'll be happy to” I responded with a coquettish smile. Ariel batted her shiny eyelashes repeatedly before she blushed excessively again.“Kev
Kevin's POV…Despite how much I wanted to know why she is here, I had no time to indulge in irrelevant discussions. I attempted to leave but halted as she scrawled. “Hey! Don't act cocky. How dare you try to walk away when I'm talking to you? Don't act smart with me, you f****** bastard!” her voice was getting a bit loud and I feared for the interruption of the amusement park officer—if they find me lingering around the female restroom section, then I might get into trouble. “Chloe, I am truly sorry, but can we have this conversation some other time? I have somewhere to be please!” I tried to plead with her, but the stubborn bitch wasn't having none of it. “Why are you so hesitant to leave? I'm positive you were looking for someone—who the hell was it? Ariel?” Gosh! Why the f*** do I keep running into talkative? “It's none of your business to be sincere” I responded curtly, not giving a damn if she finds my tone rude. Chloe clutched her fist angrily. “It is pretty obvious you're lo
Ariel's POV…I couldn't stop running hurriedly after I alighted from the bike. I was actually thankful that Kevin didn't mind taking me to the hospital at such an ungodly hour. My heart won't stop beating violently in my chest after I received that call. Tikka got robbed? How? Why? — the questions kept flooding freely in my head and trust me it's driving me f****** crazy! It would have been okay if only the money was taken, but she also got assaulted. I mean, why are people so f****** inhumane? Rushing into the reception, I spotted two individuals—Agnes and Chloe. I didn't need to worry myself why they are here; it is evident they came to get Ace treated after what's Kevin did to him. Fucking bitches…!“I'm here for Tikka Lewiston!” I half-yelled at the receptionist. “Oh… right this way please” she was kind enough to lead me towards Tikka's ward, but I had to wait for Kevin to catch up. When he did, I went after the nurse with him trailing behind her. “Thank you very much!” I gushed
Ariel's POV…The atmosphere in the room got tensed rather too quickly after she said that. I never doubted the authenticity of her words, but at what price does it come?Agnes isn't good enough to give me that large sum of money without a condition—she desires something from me, but what?The smirk persisted on her lips as she maintained her gaze on me. I heaved a deep sigh now contemplating whether to speak any further. If I remain silent, she'll feel awkward and eventually leave, but if I utter a word she'll continue. “So, what do you say, Ariel?” Agnes turned fully facing me. I chewed my lips, thinking hardly on my next course of action. “Ariel, dear?” she called again due to my lack of response. “You'll give me that large amount of money. Why? What do you want in return? You're far from being generous, so what's the chase?” I asked, and she gasped, feigning shock. Then again, her expression twisted into a wicked one shortly. “I'm impressed how tactfully you think. Well, you're r
Kevin's POV…“Thank you! Come again soon!” the waitress beamed gleefully as I walked out of the restaurant. I was done, grabbing Ariel and mine breakfast. I'm very much aware how reluctant she will be to leave the hospital, so it's only advisable I get something for her to eat. With a hand tucked into my pocket and the other holding on to the nylon, I walked slowly back. I wondered if Tikka has awoken. “I pray that she has” I whispered quietly. It is f****** evident that someone must have orchestrated the whole robbery. But who the hell might have done that? Thinking deeply into it is not going to provide an answer, so it's best I do not bother. I stopped walking on the sidewalk as soon as my phone began to ring loudly. Gazing, I gritted my teeth once I saw its Tyler. “Must he be a pain in my ass?” I muttered while swiping the green button. “Kevin, is she awake now! How is Tikka doing?” little brat asked gushingly; so he doesn't care about me, his brother? “I don't know, okay. And
Kevin's POV…I contemplated for a long time whether to go see her. Fortunately, it is still noon, but night it is creeping in slowly. Then again, what could she possibly want from me?If she's going to reprimand me for beating her fucking son to a pulp, then she has another think coming to her. I let out a low hiss and tossed the phone carelessly on the bed. I have better things to do than seeing her. Shortly after that Ariel emerged from the bathroom with water dripping freely from her body—her wet blonde hair stuck rebelliously to her forehead adding so much to her beauty—those pinkish lips of her, although a bit swollen due to our numerous kisses, appeared so tempting; it won't hurt to kiss her again right? Unknowingly, I had been staring for quite a while. “You look like you're going to devour me anytime soon” her sassy tone broke through thoughts. I blinked rapidly, a bit ashamed. “You can't blame me for having such a hot mate” I responded, although it was almost inaudible. Ari
Ariel's POV…I understood perfectly why Kevin is so skeptical about the whole dinner—I am too, but I just have to keep to my words. Asides that, there's something I need to attain from Ace; it might get risky but to ensure a flawless revenge, it must be done. Later that evening, after paying Tikka a visit, I boarded a taxi to the mansion. Throughout the drive, my eyes were fixed on the screen of my phone due to Kevin's persistent text. I don't understand why he's so apprehensive, maybe it's his hunch. I spent the ride there, texting Kevin reassuringly until I arrived. Done settling the fee, I walked into the mansion. Halting at the doorstep, I inhaled as I attempted to knock. Then again, the door suddenly got opened from within, revealing Ace. His face was decorated with plasters—not like I'm surprised; Kevin was ruthless. “Sweetheart!” he squealed, grabbing hold of my hand instantly. Although I felt uncomfortable with his touch, I could merely smirk disgustingly. He shut the door
Ariel's POV…Ace had been a bit sensible, so he paid the cab driver. Arriving at the hospital, I alighted and went swiftly in. My mind kept bugging me to give Kevin a call, but perhaps once I'm done seeing Tikka. After all, she is injured, and it'll only be cruel of me to act nonchalantly. Again I was directed to a ward—different from the previous one she was in; the doctor said it was essential because of the transplant. Pushing the door of the ward open, it revealed both Kevin and Tyler. Apparently, Kevin had been overwhelmed by Tyler's consistent troubles, so he had no choice but to bring Tyler here.“You're back!” Kevin smiled brightly as he came closer. We hugged shortly, since I felt uncomfortable by Tikki's and Tyler's continuous gaze—do they have a problem?“I'm going to say this again; if you all want to make out, then get the f*** out of my ward!” Tikka scrawled playfully. “Honestly, neither of 'em have any self-control” Tyler etched while shaking his head. I ignored Tyler
