Isla's Point of View

"To the kitchen, we go." Rory chirped like a happy bird and then her feet led the way to her kitchen. I was about to follow her absent-mindedly and nervously as I thought of things that the two of us could talk about while we were preparing the hot chocolate for the two of us when I felt a familiar skin holding my arms. Kairos wasn't holding me strong enough for his finger to leave a mark around my arm once he let go but I believe that he is holding me strong enough to convey a message and that is he doesn't want me to come after her.

I looked up to him. His eyes were filled with worry and her lips opened a bit. He was about to say something but he suddenly changed his mind and chose to bottle those words up inside of his throat.

"I don't want you to go. Can't you just stay here with me?" He asked, practically begging and he is using that beguilling eyes of him to make me agree with what he wants to happen.

I stare at him with my lips partially open. In my head

    Isla's Point of View. Rory pulled the sleeve of her leather jacket to cover the bruise around her wrist as fast as she could after she realized that I saw it. She then moves away from me. She opened the cupboard next to the one where I found all the cups. Once again she is looking for something that she isn't sure where it was kept. She already had the cups and the electric kettle that she plugged in to boil the hot water for the hot chocolate had automatically turned off after the water boiled a moment ago. Next to the electric kettle is a silver tray where all the ingredients for the hot chocolate are kept and I am assuming that those are what she was looking for when she opened the cupboard a second ago. I cautiously pointed to her the silver platter. Rory playfully rolls her eyes for herself and she even shrugs her shoulder."I didn't notice earlier," she mumbled to me before she walked towards the counter table. My feet slowly follow her. The silence that fell between the two o

    Isla's Point of View. "Not after you married the devil himself. A fair little warning from a woman who looks like you. You should know that Kairos owns you now, and that should send a chill down your spine," she said. To me, it sounds both like a threat and a fair warning. It wasn't her words that sent a chill down my spine but the smile plastered on her lips as well as the raging fire in her eyes. This is her. Rory finally took off her mask and she is finally allowing me to see the real her, for me to finally feel what she feels about me and she hates me. From staring at her face where I now notice that the smile she is sporting isn't a smile but a gritting of her teeth out of anger. Her fists were balled even though she was trying to control herself. The tension is sipping out of her body. One thing is for sure now. This woman hates me. I nodded my head at her. I can't please everyone and I wouldn't further waste this day trying to win her heart to be forgiven. I am not at fault

    Isla's Point of View "I was just fooling around but your wife believe me. That you are an evil person. I mean, you couldn't blame her. You give an aura of hmm how should I put it into words? You are not exactly the stereotypical villain. Anyway, see? I won our bet. Your wife doesn't trust you the way you think she does. I'll expect the money in my account before this day ends." Rory said. She winked at Kairos and then she grinned mischievously afterwards.She had taken three steps away from us and was almost on her way out of the kitchen when she suddenly stopped. Rory graciously pivoted so she could face us once again. "I am jet-lagged. I won't be sending you out. I need to sleep now but I trust that the two of you know your way out of my house, right?" There was this small silence between the three of us before her forefinger rose because there was one more thing that she would love to add. "Make sure that you lock the door for me once you leave. Pretty please?" She said and she e

    Isla's Point of View When I ran away from him in that elevator back when we were in Switzerland. I know that our marriage, at one month old, is about to face crises that would make or break us, and two months after that quick trip to Switzerland for me to meet Rory. Things were never the same. Kairos became cold to me. It felt like he had abandoned me already. "Hey, I was wondering if you and Eres are free tonight? I want to hang out. My treat," I said to Italia and Eres. Italia stares at me with this uncertainty lingering in her brown but deadpan eyes. "I think I am going to pass on that. I wanna go straight home and rest," she said but it made me frown at her instead. "Going straight home? Where to? To your apartment or Hyunjin's?" I teased her. Italia flashed a warning look and that made me pout my lips but ultimately stopped making fun of her. When Italia was already busy on her cell phone while waiting for her driver to pick her up because she was way too tired to drive fo

    Isla's Point of View "I want that diamond ring as well as the tennis necklace that it comes with," I said. I didn't need to point at the jewelry myself. I am sure that they already know what kind of necklace it is that I am talking about. I already saw those when I came here with Gresya last week but I was hesitant. Kairos told me long ago to spend his money how I see fit and as much as I can. I made sure to thoroughly think about it before I made a purchase but today. I feel like burning all of his money after what happened earlier. When I found out that it was his secretary who sent me flowers as a gift on my birthday. I tried to understand that maybe because he had a lot in his head at the moment he forgot about my birthday. I am upset, yes, but I was on my way to go ahead and try to understand the situation. The only thing I can't accept is that instead of him apologizing to me for what happened. Kairos chose to send me an expensive birthday gift as if that would be enough to mak

    I swallowed hard and breathed out before I removed Kairo's hand around my waist. He steals glimpses from me with curiosity filling that forest-green eyes of him. Fuck! Fuck me! If only I had known that he was here, I wouldn't have dressed like this."This new hair of yours. I don't particularly like it," he commented. I gently reached for the strand of my hair which, although was still long, was now way shorter than before. I moistened my lips and ignored that remark from him which I found offensive. How dare he say something about my hair? And he is the freaking first person to tell me that I don't look good with my hair. Everyone but him is down on their knees for me. I wasn't expecting to hear tons of compliments from him but I wasn't expecting that he'd say something like this too.I opened my eyes and found Gresya. Within the blink of an eye. I found a way to escape from Kairos and am now on my way to her. "You know that Kairos is coming to this party of yours? You could have a

    Kairos wrapped his coat around my waist. I was about to say my protest about him giving me his coat when I wasn't even asking for it but the way he stared at me made me shut my mouth as soon as I could.My hand froze and I just held it and then adjusted it over my shoulder. Kairos sat quietly on the empty stool opposite mine.The silence that enveloped the two of us was colder than the wind blowing here on the rooftop. I always knew how to start a conversation. It was my forte as an entertainer but now I am not even sure how to utter the word hello to open the possibility of having a decent conversation between us."I thought you already changed your style? You are wearing things like this again?" Kairo's eyes and curiosity are waving all over his eyes.My eyes stayed on the female bartender who was busy mixing drinks for different people. And even though I chose not to pay attention to him, I know and I can feel that he is scrutinizing me right at this moment. I stopped playing with

    Isla's Point of View Why the hell did I forget about it? I should have stuck with the very same formula that I used to tame Kairos' steel-hard heart when I first met him. If I only didn't forget about it then things would be a lot easier for me. "You need to fucking pull yourself together, Kai. I think I need to slightly shake this picture-perfect marriage of us." I whispered to myself as I made my way to the counter. The bartender who quickly spotted me standing in front of him rubbed the back of his head. He is torn between acting as if I am a ghost he can't see or if he'll try to accommodate me just so I won't make a scene today. "I will have one ice on the rock please," I said smiling at him. He bit his lower lip and then he chuckled nervously. The bartender was looking around in search of someone who would help him here and when he couldn't find that particular person. He was left with no choice but to have his eyes back on me. "I am sorry, Mrs. Lancaster. You heard your husba

    "Nicholas grab the bait." Said by an nbi agent from the radio that Kairos and Kio immediately heard. They turned to the window where they could see the car parked at the back of the hide out that Heidi had put a tracker with."Fuck!" Kairos cursed out loud after he saw Nicholas driving away from his hide out."Where's Heidi? Her phone? That's where we can see the location of the car that Nichola's driving.""Heidi's dead but I got her phone." Special Agent Montefiore mumbled to them. He immediately searched for Nicholas's location through Heidi's phone amf they are taking a familiar road that leads to a cliff."I know that place. We should head there now." He told the agent and Barrette nodded.Kairos walked out of the room first to instruct his men on their next plan and then he turned to Kio."Please take care of my daughters. I will leave them under your care. I need to save, Isla. I'd die if something bad happens to Isla.""Our men will take care of them, Kairos. I already in

    "The infamous Isla Lancaster It's so nice to finally meet you." Odette is wearing a devilish smile as she walks towards me. She sat on the edge of the bed and looked at me quietly, which eventually ended with her laughing at me.She stood up and shook her head. Seeing me tied in bed like this tells me one thing. She is glad to see me suffering.She darted her eyes back at me with the same smile. Odette came closer again then she dug her sharp nails and traced my cheek with it and she end up caging my jaw on her fingers. I gritted my teeth and keep those groans of pain inside of my lips for I don't want to give her the satisfaction of seeing me hurting because of her.I tried to move my face away from her hand as my way to fight back but she didn't let go of me and instead she tightened her grip on my jaw and she started to laugh in a mocking manner."What the hell is so special about you huh? You're just a lowly stripper like me and yet you managed to win his heart when I couldn't

    "I thought your investigator and the NBI agent is working on it? Why do you still not know where Nicholas took my Isla and daughters?" Kairos shouted at the men in front of him.Kairos closed his eyes when he felt pain in his wound from the gunshot that Nicholas.Kio took over. He confronted the agents that Laurant was talking to earlier. "We hope to hear another lead from you but for now it's better for all of you to leave us alone." Kio said. The agents nodded to him in agreement. Just in time with the agents leaving his hospital room. A doctor and Kairo's nurse walked in to check on his fresh wounds."We need to be left alone with the patient, Sir." The female nurse said to Kio. He glanced at his cousin one more time before he left the room as he was told.The female nurse quickly injected Kairoz with an enough dosage of anesthesia after she removed the bandage from his wound while the doctor started to clean it after she stepped away from Kairos.It also took them more tha

    "Nicholas, stop it!" Heidi's voice was full of anger. She followed me while I carry the unconscious Isla to a bedroom. I didn't say a word to her and continued walking until I reached the room itself."This is not love. This is obsession. I'm not in favor of what you're doing anymore." I carefully laid Iris on the bed and turned to face Heidi. Her eyes scream too much disagreement with everything that she witnesses. I took a step closer to her and that made her step back. The trembling of her hand did not escape the corner of my eye while it was holding the hem of the bomber jacket that she was wearing."I don't care about you or anyone else. I only need her. I only want her.""Are you really going to ruin your life for a woman who doesn't love you?" She shouted to cut off what I was saying. I couldn't stop myself any longer and my palm hitted her face which made her quiet for a few seconds.It took her moments to redeem herself and when she did. Seething anger on her pools

    I knocked twice on the door of Kairos's office on the first floor of the mansion. I caught him standing with his back facing the door. One of his hands was on his waist and the other was holding his phone. He gave me his weak smile and gestured for me to come near him. I held my breath and tried to smile before I walked closer to him."You didn't sleep last night." I said to him. He wrapped me in his arms possessively. One of his hands touches my waist. Kairos seated himself on the table top and me on the other hand remained standing.He shrugged his shoulders and put a few strands of my hair at the back of my ear. "I needed to fix things for your flight and the place you'll be staying at." He murmured. He rested his chin on my shoulder. I closed my eyes when his hot breath hit my neck that made the hair around my neck stand up.My hand started playing with the strands of his hair who are now longer than his usual hair cut."Do we really have to leave?" I asked in a low

    "This is mine!" I quickly made my way to the first floor of the mansion when I heard Beryl's shrill and hysterical voice."I said I want that!" Raileigh argued back and tried to grab a magazine from Beryl's hand that my daughter is keeping away from her. I just held my breath and finally approached them both. Beryl came up to me then she gave Raileigh a death glare who was also looking at her with raised eyebrows."What are you two fighting about this time?" I asked in a low voice. Beryl pulled away from me a little and showed her a fashion magazine. I mentally shook my head because of it.Would you believe that? A seven years old kids are fighting over a fashion magazine?"She's trying to get this from me. This is mine. She didn't even mind asking if I could lend this to her, Mom. She just tried to grab it from my hand." Beryl told me what happened and then she hugged the magazine again and gave Raileigh her piercing glare. They are fighting over silly things, that's usu

    "By next week we will have the results of the examinations that we did on Mrs. Spencer.""Lancaster. She is a Lancaster." Kairos interrupted the Doctor just to correct him. The Doctor then looked at him with an anxious smile and nodded."Mrs. Lancaster." He repeated. He stood up from his swivel chair to shake his hand, but Kairos decided to reject shaking hands with him.Did I seriously fall for this man before? He is a bit rude and snobbish. Even now. I am still falling for him and that made me question my taste when it comes to men."Next week? That's too long. Can't you make a way for us to get it by tomorrow?" I grabbed Kairos's arm to stop him from speaking. He bore his tired eyes at me that is filled with frustration. I pulled him to his back and luckily he didn't say anything anymore."Thank you, Doc. We'll come back next week." I said. I extended my hand to him to shake his hand, but Dr. Aleman chooses to smile at me and stare at Kairos instead whose giving him a fair

    "Can you remove your tiara now?" I asked her after I've seen her wearing it even when she's brushing her teeth. Beryl looked at me for a moment then shook her head to decline my request.She finished brushing his teeth and then wiped her mouth with a towel that was just hanging on the side of the small sink of her own bathroom."I want to sleep wearing this." She murmured and gave me her sweet smile thinking that it'll help her to convince me.I narrowed my eyes on her. Beryl snorted then carefully removed the tiara from the top of her head. I followed her with my eyes as she walked towards the shelf where she got that tiara along with all the other jewelry and hair accesories.I seriously think that she's too young to have things like that."Mom." Beryl opened her sleepy eyes and watched me with a faint smile in her thin and pinkish lips."You love him more than you love Papa Nicholas right?" She suddenly asked. I stopped from stroking her hair. She caught my hand and checked o

    "Years ago. I got into an accident baby. I was in a coma for months and when I woke up. I-I lost all my memories. I can't remember your Dad anymore and all that I have by my side that time is your Daddy Nicholas. He told me that we are married. I am sorry but your Daddy Nicholas lied to us." An unbreakable silence made its presence known. Beryl was just staring at me with her mouth half-open, probably shocked at the information that I just gave to her."Dad did that? But why would he lie like that?" He asked me in disbelief. Beryl stood up from sitting. Beads of tears pools around her eyes.She shook her head as her way of telling me that she does not want to believe me.I stood up and approached her. Beryl sobs broke the silence of the mansion. She grew up thinking that Nicholas is her own superhero, the perfect king then this happened. She finds out that her hero is a villain disguising himself as one.Beryl sobbed while she is hugging me so tight as if she's trying to hide her
