Biting my lower to stop myself from smiling as I will end up laughing like a complete psycho if I don't. All of these don't make sense and I found them ridiculous.I am Rory Spencer. I am fucking Rory Spencer and Kairos used to be madly in love with me though he managed to hide it in the eye of the public and make it look like I was the one chasing after him especially right after our engagement was made known to the public, still, I am one hundred percent sure that he was into me, that it scared me and I had to run away. On top of abducting me, he did manage to find someone whom he replaced me with and she looks exactly like me and now the world will slowly forget about me and that includes my whole family. This can't be happening! Gritting my teeth, I tugged on my cuff and chains hoping that it would miraculously break and then I would be able to free myself and claim what was mine while I get to expose how much of a beast Kairos is.The door to this room opened for the first time
[Flashback to Rory's Point of View]Even though it was hard for me to open my eyes, I was left with no choice but to do so after I felt a soft and cold fabric running back and forth in my arms as someone was using a towel to help with the cooling down of my temperature. "Lily, just what the heck do you think you are doing—Kairos." I tried to sit up but he stopped me. "Just lie down. You still have a fever." He said it with his infamous unsmiling face. I have these urges to push him away and tell him to stop everything that he's doing but my mind says no for the first time. Somehow, there's this side of me that still appreciates his effort to get on a plane and fly for 13 hours just to be here. This is the only thing I can let him do for me without getting my pride bruised. I saw him glance at the bedside table, staring directly at the bowl of soup and medicines that Lily Sage gave me last night. I didn't take any of it. I wasn't in the mood to eat anything last night. "You won't get
[Flashback to Rory's Point of View]"Come back right away. I'm going to bring food for breakfast. You haven't eaten anything since yesterday," Kairos reminded me which made me stop walking away from him. I made up my mind after I got that call from him while he was on his way here. I will do everything that I can to run away from him and that decision of mine will never change. There is nothing he can do that will make me change my mind. He is obsessive and I believe that there is no way he'll suddenly change. Once he is sure that he has me on his palm, he will once again show his true color. The Kairos that I ran away from will once again show themselves."I'm not hungry. I'm on a strict diet---,""You will still eat, Rory. Because if you don't, I will lock you here. You know what will happen next." I don't know if he's trying to scare or warn me. Either of those two, I was unaffected by both, I made sure that I looked like that though it felt like I was trembling internally.Kairos
[FLASHBACK Rory's Point of View]"As you ordered, Ms. Rory. 1209 pieces of different flowers are in this hotel room," Lily Sage said when we stopped in front of a room that was the next location of the photoshoot. She swipes the keycard and then twists the doorknob before she pushes it to open the door.The well-decorated room filled with flowers and other props welcomed my eyes. Although, I know deep inside that it will look exactly like this, for I made sure that it will, I still have this urge to check it, just in case they miss something. "Everything we need is here. The small rectangular table is filled with mouth-watering foods. The cameras, the dresser, and the sets of outfits." She gestures it to me as if she's assuming that I haven't seen it yet. That made me roll my eyes. And because she and the other staff did a wonderful job here, I won't blurt any insult for today, maybe?Ambling carefully towards the opened French door that will lead me to the terrace, I find myself stop
Flashback to Rory's Point of View"You can eat your breakfast first before you continue with that." I violently removed Kairos's hand from the side of Kairos' waist and pulled away from him."No!""Go on, Lily. Have your breakfast first then continue with that work of yours afterwards." I couldn't even put in what I was going to say, especially since everything happened so fast.Unable to control my irritation, my hand landed on Kairos's left cheek with a thick crunchy sound. His jaw dropped at what I did.He was caught off-guard and shocked but those emotions quickly became anger. I prepared myself to hear him shout and curse at me but he didn't and instead, he closed his eyes and did his breathing until he calmed down a bit.When he opened his eyes again. Kairos is way calmer. "Stop bossing around my employees as if they are yours, regardless if they are your friend or not. I will be the one to tell when they'll stop working to take a rest or eat but if I tell them to work until they
Isla's point of view. The car stopped moving even with my eyes closed. It feels like I could see our driver getting out of the Rolls-Royce which only means that my husband and I are finally back from our month-long honeymoon. It was a month-long honeymoon that started on the wrong foot but after we settled everything. Things go so smoothly and now here I am. I can't believe that we are back in our reality after that quick escape. "Isla? Isla baby, we are here," Kairos whispered in my ear after he lightly tapped my shoulder, instead of opening my eyes. I snuggled closer to his neck and wrapped my arm around my waist. "Oh, are we? But I am still so tired and sleepy. I don't think I can walk inside. We should stay here for a moment," I suggested to him as a joke. The door to his side opened and I slightly opened my eyes to peek at what was happening. I shrieked out of shock and quickly wrapped my arm around his neck after he lifted me off his car and carried me in bridal style toward
Rory's Point of View. Biting my lower lip in anticipation. Atlas finally gave in to my request and he is currently calling Kairos. My hopes are high that he would answer his phone this time. He is back in the city. He's got no excuses to continue ignoring me like this. When Atlas pulled his phone away from him without even opening his mouth to say something. I already knew that Kairos once again ignored his calls. He slowly turned to me with a spark of triumph on his lips, telling me that if we made a bet this time. He is the winner. Playing with his phone in his hand. He slowly cut the distance between the two of us. "He didn't answer his phone. You should give it up. I don't think he'll ever set his feet here to see you. You'll grow old and die here without him coming to see you for the last time," he mumbled. Those words scared me because no one in their sane mind would want to live a life like that but on top of that. It angers me. It forces me to keep holding on even when I a
Rory's Point of ViewEyes glued at me. Kairos was very much comfortable on the antique sofa as he was waiting for me to come out of the bathroom. My throat ran dry. No words want to come out of my lips and on top of that. I don't have an idea how I'll approach him. We were staring into each other's eyes for a few seconds before an emotion glistened in his eyes and his expression changed completely. "You're here," I muttered faking a smile as well as my enthusiasm. He nodded his head once but there were no signs that he would smile at me anytime soon. "Well, you called and I have time to spare for you today. What did you call me for?" He asked me with his signature low register voice. It was a good thing that I was already wearing my lingerie and my hair was all dried up thanks to the blower when I stepped out of the bathroom otherwise I'd look like a terrible mess and I wouldn't have been able to do the thing that is etched on my mind. "Have you eaten? I haven't. Didn't Atlas cal
