Isla Therese's Pov

If Kairos accepted and loved me despite my dark past. I could do the same, I could love him just the same.

"I can handle it, whatever secret he has. I'll accept it. His flaws, no matter how bad they are won't make me love him less," I whispered to myself before I got out of my room.

"I still don't get why Michael would suddenly pull himself out of this. Things like this happened, but I find it unprofessional that he'd bail from his job in the middle of fashion week. When you need him the most," Mama Olga said.

"Mama, it's seven am," I said to her as I saw her feasting on a glass of wine.

"And it's only my second glass, dear. Just let me have this, this is the only way I know how to distress."

Kio peeked which made Mama Olga roll her eyes.

"Son, what are you doing here? Can't you see? We are busy and the least that we need is someone who'd pest us." Kio laugh. He looked at me. I feel awkward and bothered by the last conversation that we had, but here he goes ac

    Isla Therese's PovMarcus raised his hand in mid-air as if he were waving a white flag. "You're the husband. Feel free to take your wife home. No one, and not even me would dare to stop you." Kairos opened his palm. Kio handed the key to his Ashton Martin."Let's go," Kairos whispered as he possessively snaked his arms around my waist.I could feel him glancing at me like he wanted to say something or he wanted me to say something to him, but I didn't dare meet his eyes. "Keep your eyes on the road, Kairos. You're driving. I don't want us to get into an accident." His jaw clenched and it felt like the air between us became thicker. I didn't ask him where we were headed because I thought we were going back to the hotel, but here we were now walking toward his private jet. "I don't understand where this silent treatment and anger of yours is coming from." I faced him gritting my teeth which stopped him from talking midway. "Your wife's co-worker was violated, Kairos, and instead

    Isla Therese's Pov My doctor walked in and we automatically stopped talking. Kairos looked at my tummy using the sweetest eyes. "So, Doctor, how is my wife and our baby?" Kairos asked. The Doctor chuckled a bit. She finds Kairos' enthusiasm about me and the baby adorable. "Why?" Kairos asked, slightly confused. Dr. Tan took her eyes off the clipboard of my test result and then she shook her head at Kairos. "Oh, it's nothing, Mr. Lancaster. I've encountered a lot of excited fathers, especially the first timer, but your excitement topped you up at the list." Dr. Tan looked at the clipboard again. "Mrs. Lancaster is healthy, and the baby too, but she needs to be careful as the first trimester of a pregnancy can be a little tricky, and complicated." Dr. Tan tore her eyes off Kairos and glanced at me. "Stay away from stress, Mrs. Lancaster, and look after your health. These are the prescription of vitamins that you need to take daily." I gently took the paper from her. Kairos peeked

    Isla Therese's Perspective"It's six in the morning. What the heck are you doing here?" Kairos asked Kio. Kio finished his latte art first before he looked in our direction. "Sister-in-law, do you want coffee?" "No, she can't." Kio rolled his eyes. He was ready to let that one slide, but then he suddenly stopped on his track and turned to look at us again. "She can't? Why not? You love coffee, Isla, matter of fact, you're a coffee addict, and now you can't drink it?" Kio's eyes suspiciously moved towards his brother. "Kairos is forbidding you to drink coffee and you're letting him?" Kio pouted his lips as he struggled to work out what was running on his head. "You married couple has a secret. What is it that you're hiding from me? You can tell me. I won't tell anyone." Kairos scoffs at his twin brother."We won't tell you. You're a goddamn yapper. You'd tell Mother." Kio grinned. He glanced at my stomach. "Why are you here?" Kairos asked as he took the cup of latte from Kio. He

    Isla Therese's Pov My eyebrow furrowed with confusion after Kairos handed me a small box right after we set our feet in the yacht that will sail us to the Lancaster's privately owned island. "Is this a bribe to make me change my mind about Kio staying in our house?" I pushed the box back on his hand. "You could buy me a private island and I'd still choose having Kio around over the island." I met his eyes and sighed exasperatedly. "I don't know, Kai. I can't understand myself too, I can't explain it, what I'm sure is I enjoy having your twin around.""I do. I know what's going. You're conceiving, and you know how some pregnant women have this weird pregnancy cravings?" I nodded my head at him, even when I'm still puzzled. "Are you telling me that one of my pregnancy cravings is having Kio around, instead of munching on weird food combination?" I asked, and he nodded his head. "Oh, it make sense now." "Pregnancy cravings doesn't last for so long, and while you still want the fuc

    Isla Therese's Pov Kairos held me in his arms as it felt like the wind coming from the chopper would blow me away. Mama Olga smiled as soon as our eyes locked in. She opened her arm, urging me to come to her and hug her. "You just saw each other one week ago, Mama," Kairos commented. "We could see each other just yesterday, and I would still miss my daughter-in-law so much," she said. Mama Olga looked back at me, waiting for me to say I felt the same way. "You're not coming to your office for two weeks now, Kairos. That's unlike you. Is there something wrong?" Kairos clenched his jaw, suddenly irritated by his father. Mama Olga wrapped her hand around her husband's arms. "It's Sunday, honey, and will you please look around? Kairos and Isla look like they're going to share a piece of good news with us. Can we not talk about work here? Just until this night is over." Mama Olga smiled. Her eyes signaled to me that she'd bring Papa inside before her son and husband continued to argu

    Isla Therese's Pov "Out of all the desserts and pastries that I make for tonight. Is the chocolate cake the only thing that you liked, P-Papa?" I asked. My father-in-law looked around. He pointed at the cheese bar, the blueberry tart, and the red velvet cupcake, too, "I liked all of those," he answered, and I nodded at him. "Okay, Papa. I will make sure to send those pastries to you next week." He nodded. Our interaction was still awkward and a pain to watch, but at least we have progress now. "Now and then, when I'm bored, I try new recipes. Is it okay if I send them to you too?" "It'll be highly appreciated, Isla." "But don't expect that I'll let her bake all these pastries for you every week, Papa. Isla's Doctor is forbidding her to get too tired. It's bad for the ba—" Kairos somehow stopped himself from speaking before he could say the word baby. "Kio, help me, please?" I asked Kai's twin. Kio pointed at himself and threw a questioning look at me. "M-Me? W-Why me?" Kio clo

    Isla Therese's Pov"Elodie Rei Lancaster." I hummed while Kairos continued to twirl my hair on his finger. "And if it's a boy, I want him to take your name." I turned to face him, and his forehead was creased confusedly. "My name? You want him to be my junior?" Kairos asked. I nodded my head. "I like that too," he said. Kairos cupped my cheeks. I closed my eyes as he leaned closer to claim my lips. Kairos kissed me gently; it almost felt like I was kissing another man.I pressed my lips together to stop myself from laughing. I opened my eyes. "Why? What's funny?" "This is so not like you, husband. Your kisses are too sweet and careful," I said. Kairos pouted. "Did you know that you're acting like a virgin right now? Like you don't know what to do?" I teased him. "Baby, I'm nervous to do it the way we usually do." "I'll do it," I said, pushing him to the bed. I grabbed the hair dryer from his hand and turned it off before gently tossing it on the floor while I was still on top

    A Tragic Accident and Seven Years laterA small smile managed to escape from my lips as I saw our family portrait that was placed in the living room.This is the first thing one would see when they come into our house. Under that is another table made of a narra tree filled with our family's picture frames.I was stunned when my eyes landed on the picture frame where Nicholas nd I's wedding photo was placed.It was a shot from our second wedding. I had an accident seven years ago, and unfortunately, that erased my memory, and I can't remember anything. Nicholas Spencer, the sweet husband that he is. He wanted to make new memories and replace those that I had forgotten, and so our second wedding happened. My doctor said that there is little to no chance that my memory will come back whenever I remember those words of him. I could not help but feel bad. I feel like I have forgotten some people in my life like I'm missing something or maybe someone.I soon shrugged the thought away. Nic

    "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
