Kaylar's eyes were fixed on Wayne as he made his way towards her side. He placed the tray he was holding on the nightstand. Kaylar couldn't help but let her eyes roam on Wayne. He was wearing a white T-shirt with grey sweatpants. He looked really sexy. "How are you feeling?" Wayne's deep voice sounded. Kaylar shook her head to drive her silly thoughts away. "Much better" She replied in a gentle tone. Wayne pulled a chair from the side and sat down. His hand naturally went to Kaylar's ankle to feel the bandage on it. "You'll have to rest for a few days, that means you won't come to the company for a week," He said as he retracted his hand. Kaylar nodded her head in understanding, it was expected. "I brought dinner for you," Wayne said as he poured soup into a bowl. "..." She thought the head maid would be the one taking care of her needs. She didn't expect it to be Wayne. Lord in heaven! Kaylar was startled when Wayne raised her back and placed pillows behind her back to su
The next day."Did you sleep well?" Wayne asked as he strode into Kayler's room. "I did, you?" Kaylar asked as she pulled the duvet off her body. Intuitively, she was ready to head into the bathroom to get ready for work. "Where are you going?" Wayne asked as he saw her action. "To work of course…" It suddenly dawned on her, she was off work for a week. "I'm heading to the company; The head maid would take care of your needs," Wayne said as he exited the room. A pitisome expression was plastered on Kaylar's face as she laid back down. After a while, the head maid came into her room and helped her freshen up. She had breakfast and lay on the bed as usual. As an active and independent woman, Kaylar found the prospect of being confined to her home for a week unbearable. She was extremely bored. She decided to call Mia and invite her over to the mansion later in the day. Mia's cheerful and infectious personality always managed to bring some excitement into her life. … Meanwhi
… Inside Wayne's office. Wayne sat on his swivel chair behind his desk and motioned for Susan and Karen to take a seat in front of his desk. The temperature in the room dropped by a thousand degrees as he stared at them with a cold expression. "Care to explain what I overheard during the meeting?" Wayne asked sharply. His eyes watched their every expression as they sank into their seats. Karen and Susan exchanged glances, their earlier gossip suddenly feeling much less harmless. They both knew they had messed up and now had to face the consequences. "CEO Wayne I don't know what you talking about aside from the proposal from my team presented I didn't say a thing" Karen said in her defence. Wayne continued his voice firm but controlled. "Karen you've worked here long enough to know that gossip is toxic and undermines the harmony of this workplace." He looked at the both of them "As senior staff members I expect better from you both. It's unprofessional and disrespectful to di
A While later."Eldest Madam, your bath is ready" The Head maid announced.Kaylar nodded her head and pulled the duvet off her body.The head maid reached out to her side to assist her into the bathroom. Kaylar freshened up in no time with the assistance of the head maid. …Inside the closet."Here you go Madam" The head maid handed a nightgown to Kaylar.Kaylar sized the nightgown up "Miss Hajara where did you get this from?"She was a hundred and one per cent sure that she didn't have any nightgowns in her closet.She was a pyjama person. "Eldest master ordered a few nightgowns earlier in the day. He said it would be difficult to put your pyjamas on with a sprained ankle," The head maid explained."Okay, then" Kaylar took the nightgown from the head maid.'That was nice of him' she thought as she swiftly wore the gown.She looked at herself in the mirror and let out a sigh of approval.It wasn't that bad, at least he had good tastes.The beige-coloured nightgown hung below her kn
Kaylar was left in the sitting room as her mind threw all sorts of thoughts to her.She couldn't help the reddening of her cheeks.Her thoughts were really far-fetched."Welcome, young master" Kaylar was snapped out of her fantasy when she heard Butler Lee's greeting.'Young master?' she wondered who that was.She could hear the faint sound of footsteps coming into the sitting room.Kaylar curiously turned her head in the direction of the sound as she watched a figure step in."Sister-in-law?" A gentle voice sounded.The figure stood in front of her."I supposed you're my brother's wife" He flashed a warm smile as he sat on a couch."Yes, I am" Kaylar repliedJason turned to Butler Lee and asked "Where's elder brother?""He'll be down soon," Butler Lee answered.There was an underlying worry in his tone.Things would get really bad when Wayne gets downstairs. The two brothers could not stay in the same room without something going wrong.He wondered how the Eldest master would react
She wanted to question Wayne but she decided against it.He would open up to her when he felt like it, she didn't want to force an explanation out of him.Wanye arrived at the door of her room and opened the door carefully."You should stay away from him," Wayne said as he laid Kaylar on the bed gently."Okay," Kaylar's reply was simple and short.She did not want to stress over something that did not concern her directly.Pushing an answer out of him at this point would be useless, so why try in the first place?Wayne's expression relaxed a little.He expected Kaylar to bombard him with questions but surprisingly she didn't.Wayne was clearly in a bad mood because his brows were furrowed and It made his face look stiff and cold.Kaylar had the urge to burst into laughter.Without realising what she was doing she used her hand as a gesture for Wayne to come closer.Albeit confused, Wayne lowered his head."Creasing your brows gives you an eldern look," Kaylar said as she used her fing
… Wayne and Kaylar separated at the top floor after getting down from the elevator. Wayne went to his office while Kaylar went to Chad's office. "Good morning Chad" Kaylar greeted as she entered his office. "Kaylar, how are you?" Chad raised his head from his work and greeted back. "I'm good," she replied as she sat on a chair in front of his desk. Chad was a young man in his mid-twenties, he had a sturdy physique and an easy temperament, likened to his true nature. It was hard to expect that someone like Chad was highly skilled security personnel. Wayne has always been targeted since young by rival families and as he grew older and became an outstanding businessman, his life was in constant danger and threats. Knowing the risks involved, Wayne hired Chad, a highly skilled individual with a background in personal security, to ensure his safety. "Would you mind giving me a rundown on the CEO's schedule for this month and the next?" "Sure" Chad agreed as he typed away on his k
In a blink of an eye Karen flared up like a flame. "You know what? I hate you Kaylar!" Karen dropped her cutlery and continued, "You think no one would find out about what you do with the CEO right?" Susan was taken by surprise and was slow to react, she tried tugging at Karen's dress to remind her to contain herself but it was too late."Leave me let me talk" Karen slapped Susan's hand away and turned to Kaylar while pointing a finger at her. "Your little affair with the CEO has been casted" "I didn't quite understand what you just said, care to repeat yourself?" Kaylar was taken aback by Karen's accusation. Affair? who was in an affair?Yes, it was true that she's married to Wayne but that does not count as having an affair with him, does it?Kaylar couldn't control the glare she shot at Karen as she thought 'how is it an affair with my husband?'Karen's words were aimed to tint her image and she wouldn't and couldn't take such disrespect. "Don't go acting innocent now, it won
Wayne left Jason's room, his mind in turmoil. The weight of his mother’s venomous words lingered, but he forced himself to focus on the present. As he stepped into the hallway, he called out to the police officers. “Get Meghan out of there,” he ordered, his voice cold and detached. Without waiting for a response, he made his way back to Kaylar’s room. Inside the ward, it was quiet, almost eerily so. Kaylar lay peacefully in her bed, her breathing steady, though her face still showed signs of the ordeal she had endured. Wayne’s mother-in-law was seated beside her, but Wayne could see the exhaustion in her eyes. “You should go home and rest,” Wayne told her gently. She looked at him with a mix of concern and understanding before nodding. “Call me if anything changes,” she said softly before gathering her things and leaving the room. Now it was just Wayne, Kaylar, and Chad, who had just entered the room. Wayne could feel the chaos in his mind, the events of the day overwhelming hi
The hours dragged on in the quiet, sterile corridors of the hospital. Wayne paced back and forth, his mind heavy with worry for Kaylar. When the doors of the emergency room finally swung open, and she was rolled out, Wayne’s heart lurched in his chest. He immediately stood up, his body tensed with anxiety. Kaylar was pale, her eyes closed, and tubes were attached to her, but she was alive. That was all that mattered. Wayne followed the gurney as it was rolled into her ward. He stayed by her side, holding her hand, his eyes never leaving her face. She looked so fragile lying there, a stark contrast to the fierce, determined woman he knew and loved. But as much as he wanted to stay, Chad’s voice interrupted his thoughts. “Wayne,” Chad said softly as he entered the room, his face grim. “Jason’s just been rolled out of the emergency room.”Wayne felt a wave of conflicted emotions wash over him. He glanced back at Kaylar, her mother now sitting beside her, watching over her with the same
Before she could protest, Wayne dashed out of the building, his footsteps echoing through the empty corridors as he chased after Jason. The night was cool, the air thick with tension as Wayne sprinted into the darkness, his heart pounding with a mixture of adrenaline and fear. He knew this was the endgame—Jason had to be stopped, no matter the cost.Jason, injured and desperate, limped ahead, the pain in his leg slowing him down. He glanced back, seeing Wayne closing in, and gritted his teeth. He had always prided himself on staying one step ahead, but now he was cornered, his escape routes dwindling. As he stumbled into a nearby alleyway, he knew he had to make a final stand.Wayne burst into the alley just as Jason turned to face him, a gun clutched in his hand. There was no hesitation in Jason’s eyes now—only a cold resolve. Wayne barely had time to react as Jason fired. The bullet grazed Wayne’s shoulder, but he didn’t falter. He fired back, the shot hitting Jason squarely in the
Kaylar was dragged through the crumbling hallways of the abandoned building, her heels clicking against the dusty concrete. The men holding her were rough, their grip like iron clamps on her arms. She forced herself to stay calm, knowing that the internal tracking device embedded in her skin was still operational. Wayne would come. He had to.Jason’s men shoved her into a large, dimly lit room at the heart of the building. The walls were lined with rusted pipes and broken windows, allowing beams of moonlight to pierce through the darkness. The place reeked of decay, a fitting backdrop for whatever twisted plan Jason had in mind.Jason followed them in, his footsteps echoing ominously as he approached her. His eyes glinted with malicious intent as he looked down at her, bound and vulnerable. “You’re surprisingly calm, Kaylar,” he said, a smirk playing on his lips. “I suppose you’re still holding on to hope that your precious Wayne will come to your rescue.”Kaylar met his gaze, refusi
Kaylar stood at the edge of the deserted parking lot, her breath visible in the cool evening air. The location Jason had chosen was far from the city—a quiet, industrial area that seemed abandoned. The sun had dipped below the horizon, leaving only the faint glow of streetlights to cut through the gathering darkness. She checked her watch: 6:10 PM. Her nerves were frayed, but she kept her expression calm, glancing around for any sign of movement. Chad and Wayne were positioned nearby, monitoring her every move through the tracking device and earpiece she had concealed. She whispered into the earpiece, "Everything looks quiet... too quiet."Wayne’s voice crackled in her ear, “Stay alert. If anything seems off, we’re pulling you out.”Kaylar nodded slightly, trying to steady her racing heart. The air was thick with anticipation as she waited, every minute feeling like an eternity. Suddenly, the distant rumble of an engine reached her ears, and she turned to see a car approaching from t
The city was bathed in the golden hues of the late afternoon sun, its bustling streets unaware of the turmoil brewing behind the scenes. In a sleek, high-rise office, Jason sat behind his desk, his demeanour as cold and calculating as ever. His mind was focused, not on immediate confrontation, but on a strategy that would create chaos without direct conflict. Jason’s office was immaculate, a testament to his obsessive need for control. The room was filled with the soft hum of air conditioning and the occasional click of his keyboard as he worked on his laptop. A sinister smile played at the corners of his mouth as he prepared for the next phase of his plan. He was interrupted by a knock at the door. One of his trusted operatives entered, carrying a stack of documents. Jason looked up, his eyes narrowing with interest. “Everything is set, sir,” the operative said, placing the documents on the desk. Jason’s gaze flickered over the papers, his smile widening. “Excellent. Let’s proceed
The following days at Wayne and Kaylar’s home were filled with a delicate balance of normalcy and tension. The welcome-back dinner had been a success, and the joy of Wayne's return had infused their lives with a renewed sense of hope. Yet, beneath the surface, unspoken worries lingered.Wayne had begun to reintegrate into his daily routine, though his role in the company was still on hold. Kaylar continued to manage everything, her resolve unwavering despite the challenges. Chad's confession hung heavily in her mind, an unresolved issue that gnawed at her even as she tried to focus on her family and their new beginning.One bright morning, Kaylar found herself in the living room, her gaze drifting to the family photographs on the wall. Each frame told a story of happier times—Wayne and her smiling at various events, their
But instead of answering, Jason’s hand shot up, gripping the back of her head with a force that made her gasp. He yanked her hair back, causing her to cry out in pain, the playful atmosphere shattered in an instant."Jason! What the hell has gotten into you?" Asherly screamed, struggling against his hold. "Let me go! You’re hurting me!"Jason’s expression remained cold, his eyes void of the lustful affection he usually displayed towards her. "You think this is a game, don’t you?" he hissed, pulling her hair harder, eliciting another cry of pain. "You think you can keep playing around while everything falls apart?""Let me go, you’re sick!" Asherly shouted, clawing at his hand, but Jason only tightened his grip."Let you go?" Jason echoed mockingly. "Fine." Without warning, he stood up, still holding her by the hair, and flung her across the room with a merciless force. Asherly’s body hit the ground hard, skidding to a stop near the wall. She lay there for a moment, dazed, before looki
Wayne’s heart swelled with emotion as Kaylin began to explore his face with her hands, her fingers tracing his features with the careful curiosity of a child. She touched his nose, his lips, his eyes, all the while staring at him as if committing every detail to memory. Wayne looked up at Kaylar, his eyes filled with wonder and a hint of confusion. Kaylar just smiled, shrugging her shoulders slightly. "She’s figuring you out," she said with a soft laugh. "Kaylin, it’s dada. Say dada.""Dada," Kaylin echoed, her voice small and uncertain but filled with an unmistakable warmth.Wayne’s throat tightened as he choked back tears. He had missed so much of her life, and yet here she was, in his arms, accepting him without hesitation. "I’m back, Kaylin," he whispered, his voice hoarse with emotion. "Dada’s back."He lifted her gently into his arms, holding her close as he rained kisses on her chubby little hands. The softness of her skin, the sweet scent of her baby lotion—it was all so over
