"Uncle Qwas! Aunt Heidi!" Beryl shouted with so much excitement evident in her voice as she saw those two people who walked inside their house.Qwas, her father's best friend, waved at her, and Heidi quickly opened her arms, inviting Beryl to embrace her."Beryl Ametrine, be careful, and will you please stop running so much? You're scaring me!" Isla quickly reprimanded her daughter upon catching up with her when she started running down the stairs. Isla turned to her right when she felt Nicholas' arm around her."Yes, Mom," Beryl replied, but she did not stop her rapid descent. She ran towards her Aunt Heidi and pulled her for a hug as soon as she got off from the mansion's grand staircase."The fuck are they doing here?" Nicholas asked irritably while showing his middle finger to Qwas, waving at him from the mansion's first floor.Isla narrowed her eyes towards him. She also gently tugged a bit of Nicholas's skin, which made him wince."What?" He innocently asked."What do you mea
"Where are you going?" Rory asked him with a fake smile on her lips. Kairos stared at her for a moment. He could not help but wonder if she has something to do with Isla being married to Nicholas now because if that's the case, then Kairos might end up doing something unimaginable to her."I have a lunch meeting with an investor." He lied. Raile's smile slowly disappeared because of what she heard from Kairos. Rory, who saw how quickly it saddens her daughter, comforted Raile."Could you please postpone it? Raleigh won a quiz bee competition. She deserves a reward for that. A family lunch will do." Rory said with a pleading voice. Kairos glanced at his watch on his wrist, then shook his head."It's an important one, Rory. Maybe next time?" Kairos said before he removed Raile's hand that was holding onto his coat, and then he walked toward the elevator. Kairos saw how Rory pointed at his staff for gossiping before the elevator door closed. Kairos knows that in a way. He loves Raile
"Don't look at me like that, Mrs. Spencer. We might end up racking our bed the whole night rather than attending that business gala." My cheeks reddened quickly because of what he had said.I stood up and turned to face him."Nicholas and that freaking mouth of yours" The smile on my lips quickly disappeared when I felt a pain in my head. I closed my eyes tightly and tried to calm myself down, and then I felt him hold my shoulder."Isla?""Are you okay?" His baritone voice was worried for me. When the pain I felt subsided. I slowly opened my eyes again,n and Nicholas' worrying face welcomed me."Isla?" He said to get my attention"It's okay. I just got a little headache...""Do you want me to take you to the hospital?" He cut what I was paying off. I shook my head, then took his hand that was resting on my shoulder and squeezed it gently."You don't have to. I didn't get to sleep well last night. That could be the reason." I answered even though there was doubt in his eyes. In the end
Nicholas lips were pressed into a thin line as he nodded at me."I'd never lie to you, Isla." I smiled and nodded. I lean towards him for a kiss as he wraps both of his arms on my waist.Nicholas made the kiss go deeper as he bit my lower lip seeking for an entrance that I gladly gave. Even his hand started to move around my body."Ohhh." I stifle a low moan as our tongues fight for dominance. My eyes were shut close, savoring the sensation brought by his kisses. Even though I was feeling hot from the kiss that we shared. I still felt like something was missing.I'm looking for a feeling that the same feeling that Kairos made me feel earlier. I felt him untie the ribbon of my silk robe and pull it out from me. Slowly, without our lips parting from a mind-blowing and aggressive kisses, his hand started doing its job. Palming and giving pressure on my breast. I firmly held his shoulder to support myself from the lack of strength that I felt.Nicholas removed the strap of the lin
"Because of what happened last night? I bet you know that you should be guarding that husband of yours, lil sis." Nicholas said it so seriously."That's the thing. He already knew that his marriage with Isla that he filed after she fled was annulled as well as the legal registration of our marriage. He asked his lawyer to talk to me earlier with an annulment papers and he even moved out from the house after the business gala last night!"Rory told him hysterically.He clenched his fist and his jaw tightened because of what he heard as he got the confirmation needed that Kairos are doing his moves already.His eyes narrowed.Well then he better prepare himself because it's a call of war and he's ready to kill Kairos in more ways than oneFor a moment silence enveloped Nicholas office as he remembered how he legally married Isla and how Rory legally tied Kairos to her without him knowing.It was after Kairos and Rory's wedding. He was so drunk that night that Rory managed to lure him
"Missus Isla?" She called for my attention. I flipped my first pancake for a moment then turned my head back at her."Do you really love him?" She asked out of the blue, her questions seem to be hiding a code that she wants me to decipher and I frowned because of that."Of course. I'd never marry him if I didn't...I love him so much." I muttered proudly. She opens her mouth and seems like she has something more to say but decides not to as we hear a footsteps as well as voices of Nicholas and Beryl mixed with their giggles."Good morning Mom." Beryl greeted me with a wide smile and kissed me before pulling herself up from the chair.With his pajamas and white shirt and messy hair on. Nicholas approached me for his morning kiss too."You were up earlier than usual. I woke up without you by my side. I don't like it when you do that." He said sullenly then sneered at Beryl who was quietly pouring juice into her glass.His arms were wrapped around my waist possessively as I continued cook
"Where are you really going to take me?" I shouted at them and tried hard to remove the tie from my hand.My heart beats drastically as a private plane welcomed my sight upon removing my blindfold."Give me back to my family! Let me go!" I shouted at the top of my lungs. Kio scratched the back of his neck then walked over to me and picked me up like a sack of potatoes.My body was hanging on his shoulder and my face was hitting his back. No matter how hard I tried to hit his back. He remained unfazed.He didn't even notice that I was hurting him.This is so frustrating!After I sat down. He gracefully stood in front of me and stretched his arm and shoulder."If you wanna go back to your family as soon as possible then just talk to him because one thing is for sure. Kairos won't let go of you until he got what he wanted with you." He said then he signaled two men to get off the private plane with him.I am sure by now that Nicholas knows about this. I'm sure he's already working o
It was such a gloomy day for Isla. She doesn't know who to believe and trust anymore. A part of her doesn't want to doubt her husband since he's always giving her the best, but what if the Kairos is telling her the truth? That thought lingers on her mind for almost an hour now.How can a perfect husband and father like Nicholas lie to her?The door of a room where she's staying since they arrived about an hour ago in this isolated island creaked open.Isla frantically took a step back as she saw him with his eyes darkened into oblivion and clenched jaws.Kairos looks like he have this hatred against everyone and compare to Nicholas. Isla can't be blame if she'll choose to take Nicholas side over the Kairos."I cooked something downstairs. Aren't you hungry yet?" Kairos said in his gentle voice then he put his right hand on his pocket. The silent ate them up as Isla remained silent, gawking at him.Kairos smiled which made Isla blink as if she had just now come to her senses."I'm n
"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
