KAYA It was like a breath of fresh air. Waking up with Nora breathing down my neck and telling me that the elders were already waiting for me or there were some issues that needed my attention. Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed being busy with something other than my kids and all the work I'd done made me know that I liked being involved in the court and all but then, it was never my duty. It felt like I was on a vacation. “Damien arrived safely. Nancy and the boys send their greetings.”He had settled for a home close to the wolves. Adrian didn't like it all that much because he was the King of the Lycans and not the wolves but he decided to go along with it. “I hope he's happy and can start afresh.”It finally felt like things were going fine. Adrian was finally awake. There were no threats so far. I was happy. The kingdom was happy. The kids were happy. Even though I knew that there was a chance that it won't last forever because that's the way things were programmed to happen
ADRIANIt went without saying that I was the father of the day. Milo had graduated at the top of his class and I couldn't ask for anything more. It won't be nice if someone else surpassed the prince. I sat and watched as he brought his friends over to greet me and then, different teachers came. I smiled at the way he took pride in me being here. “Ladies and gentlemen, it's an honor to be here and to witness the graduation of your sons and daughters and also my son's passing out. These kids have put in extraordinary effort to be here today and we are proud of each and every one of them. This is just the beginning for them.”Kaya had planned a party for later tonight. She had put in so much for this to happen and I could see how much it meant for her to witness this. “Mum! Can I take Lana?”Kaya and I looked at each other. “Where are you taking her?”“I'm just going to be over there with my friends and I want to be with her.”I didn't see why not so I gave Kay a small nod and he ca
KAYAI didn't know what was happening at first. When the guard came back to tell me that Adrian Said we should leave, I was against it because I didn't see any reason why we couldn't leave together.“Where is he and what's he doing?”“Who, my Queen?”“The King. What's he doing that he's saying I should go home early?”I should have known that there was something wrong from his facial expressions and the way he hesitated to answer my question but I didn't just want to think too much about it. Maybe if I had, I would have known that he was hiding something. He snapped his fingers. “Oh yes! He's taking pictures with the prince and princess and there are a lot of people there and he knows that you wouldn't want to wait so he says he'll bring them to you.” Well, he was right in saying I wouldn't want to wait because I didn't want to but then…“Okay, come on boys. Let's go home.”I loaded them into the car and went back home. I expected a text from him but when I didn't get one, I figu
KAYACancel the party? Far from it. I had something else in mind. Adrian however, wasn't a party to that idea. No pun intended. “Our daughter is missing! And you still want to throw a party? Can you listen to yourself?” I knew what I was saying and I could hear myself. “There is nothing wrong with what I'm saying, Adrian. I simply want to go on with the party as it has been planned already. I know what I'm.doing.”I knew that what I was saying was pissing him off which was fine. Right now, tensions were high and he wasn't thinking straight. “Your baby is missing! Lana isn't even sick months old yet! And she's out there with random people. Who knows if she's still alive?!”I stood.up immediately. “My daughter is alive and no one has killed her and no one will kill her. Why can't you just trust me on this?”“Trust you? Do you know what you're saying? How can you talk about a party when your baby is out there missing? How insensitive can you be? What is wrong with you?”I didn't w
KAYAI told Adrian the party would hold and it did. The reason why I was doing this was because I felt this wasn't random. Someone from nowhere won't come and take my baby and people often liked to see the damage that they had done. And there was a high chance that the person responsible would come here tonight. That was why I wws going to make it a mission to speak to everyone here tonight. Adrian would not understand it even if I got a tattoo about it. I knew he wouldn't come to the party which was fine. I'd explained everything to Nora and I knew I had her help. Milo wasn't still feeling up to it so he wouldn't be coming either. The man he had bought water from was still down in the cells. I'd gone down to meet him at some point and it didn't seem like he was ready to tell me what I wanted to hear. Perhaps he thought since I was cool, then it was a joke. I'll deal with him according to what I find out tonight. Lana would be very hungry. I wonder if they've given her somet
KAYA It's a good thing I wasn't the only one having fun..Milo left Penelope and her dirty husband bowing there while he sat beside me and sipped from his gobbler. It had been a while since I dealt with stubborn people. Other people came to show their respect, while glancing at the unfortunate couple who had happened to fall into my trap. So far, nothing out of the ordinary has happened but I had hope and I hoped that I would find what I was looking for. There was no need to panic. When they saw that the situation was not getting the reaction they needed, they will surely say something. The time for my speech came and I made it to the centre of the room. Adrian had not come down and in all honesty, I didn't expect him to. He was solving this in his own way and I was solving it in my own way too..“Ladies and gentlemen, my warmest welcome and appreciation goes out to you. Thank you all for being here tonight for celebrate with my family and I on the Prince's graduation. He has wo
KAYAI just stood there frozen because there wasn't anything that I could do. I mean, if I jumped out now and told them that I was here, I didn't have back up with me to arrest them and they could easing get away or harm me. Now I understood why Adrian always said I should be with a guard. But if a guard had been with me, they wouldn't have come in here. Damn, I didn't even know who had these voices. How would I identify them? “I don't know. Maybe she doesn't know that her baby is missing?” I'm thinking the people here are the person behind the kidnapping and the people emoloyed to do it. “How dumb can you be? Why won't she know that her baby is missing? It's a baby. The kid is practically glued to her side.” Maybe if I opened the door a bit and looked to see who they were. I saw that the door waa already cracked open a bit but I could only see one man. I hadn't noticed him at the party tonight but I took more of what he looked like so I could have him.arrested as soon as I l
KAYAI don't know if he knew that I had caught unto him because of the way he looked at me but he didn’t say anything as he walked away. “Why did he ask about her?”I pulled him in and told him everything about what happened in the bathroom. I knew that the people behind this were in the room with them. “Why didn't you say anything?! You're going to let them get away with it?”“And you think going to arrest them would do anything better?.you think you can beat them into telling you where she is?”The only advantage we have now is that they don't know that we know who they are. That's the only upside to this. Asides that, we were at a loss. “We can arrest one of them though. I'll tell Nora to stop him from leaving the party. Besides that, there's nothing we can do.”I needed him to think about it properly. I wanted to find the both of them and torture them until they told me where my baby was but I couldn't do that. “Where is Nora?”He stood up and went to look for her.. I wonder
KAYA It was the middle of May. Milo had come back home to spend some time with us. After his coronation, he had left the pack to spend time living as a normal person so that he would understand what it means to live among the people. Adrian didn't like it because he felt like Milo could be learning about the kingdom rather than doing all that but the boy's mind had been set. I could understand where they were both coming from but since it was what he wanted, I couldn't stop him and neither could his father. The only condition Adrian gave him was that he would stay with Roy. If he stayed with Roy, then his heart would be more at peace knowing that he was with someone he trusted. Roy loved the idea of Milo being over and so since the beginning of the year, he had been there. When I told him it was his father's birthday, he knew he had to come back. This time around, we didn't want a big celebration. Although since it was an official holiday, the entire kingdom knew and the
KAYA There was finally time for Milo's coronation. We had been putting it off for so long but now, we were going to make it happen. It had taken me a week to make all preparations because I wanted this to be perfect. I'd sent out the invitations earlier to everyone and made sure everything down to the last detail was ready. Milo was very excited about this and I could see how much this meant to him. He and Adrian had been spending the week together because Adrian said it was part of his hazing ceremony to welcome him into the circle of Kings. Unlike the forest his father had left him in for a week to find for himself, he wanted to do things that he hadn't done with Milo before like fishing and hunting. The party was tonight and I just got a call from the tailor that there had been some issues with the clothes. Milo's clothes to be exact. I didn't want to lose it because I knew I had to find a solution one way or another and I had to find it fast. I hurried over to the
KAYATWO MONTHS LATERMaybe I was the one who was mad. Maybe I was losing it. As soon as the maid told me I ran out of my room and went downstairs. The madness in this house had to stop. I had endured tol much from that bitch and maybe she thought that since I was quiet, I was stupid but not again. The kitchen door was locked just as I thought it would be. “Selena! You stupid bitch! Open the door!” I could hear her moving around inside and she laughed. “Oh, I see they came to report to you again. As I told them, I'll be cooking Adrian's food today. I mean, after all. I'm basically just a second wife.”Second wife?! In what universe?! The maids said that before they woke up, she had locked herself in the kitchen and they couldn't even make breakfast for the twins to take to school. “Are you nuts? This is my house and my kitchen! Open the damn door!” “Why don't you kick it o
KAYA When we got to the grave site, we were amazed because it wasn't your normal six feet. “She was claustrophobic. I don't think it'd be fair to give her a tight grave.” We could understand that and we stayed there with him when he said things to her and told her how much he loved her and missed her. It rained earlier that day so maybe that just made the whole thing gloomier. We went back to the house with the guests. The food has been ready since last night and we just stood in a corner while Roy attended to his guests. The kids had to stay upstairs because we didn't want thtme to be down here. It was only Roy's son that was down here. “Thank you so much for coming, everyone. I really appreciate you for being here. My wife would have been so happy to know that there were many people who actes about her. Its just said that it's only at her death that we had this crowd. I don't really have much to say but I l
KAYAWe couldn't stay with Roy even though we wanted to. Adrian was the King, there was no way that he would not sleep in the house. Well, at least that's what Roy had been trying to tell him for the past hour but it was like everything he said went over his ears. He didn't want to hear any of it. “Roy, this is not just a condolence visit. It's a friendly visit. You've been my friend for years and you don't expect me to go home when you need me. I need to stay here with you.” Roy looked drained. I didn't like that Adrian was arguing with him but then again, Adrian wasn't going to stop until he got what he wanted. He turned to me for help and all I could do was just stare at him. “Kay, please say something.”I didn't want to tell him not to worry because there was nothing that he was going to say that would make Adrian change his mind but I didn't say that. I also know that it was a technique to take Roy's mind
KAYAThe morning came with bad news. I was still in bed when Lorian came to wake me up that Adrian and Nora were going out. At first, I didn't understand what he was talking about because I was so sleepy. Adrian had kept me up late last night talking and talking and making sure that I had forgiven him. I picked up my robe and ran out of the room because he was dragging me out. Luckily, I got outside before the car drove off. “Adrian, what's going on? Is everything okay?”He turned around to look at me. “Roys wife is dead. We just got a call now. We're going there to see him. I didn't want to wake you up.”The words couldn't form in my mouth. I just stayed there and stared at him. Roy's wife is dead. “Go, I'll meet up with you later.”As the car drove off, I just watched it go. In the end, the cancer had won. Gosh, I couldn't imagine what he would be going through right now.
ADRIANIt was like she had developed some kind of power because with the way she was walking, I found it so hard to catch up with her. Even when I tried to hold her hand, she wouldn't let me. “Kay, please wait. Let me speak to you.”If I couldn't hold her hand, I would have to hold her legs because I could let her use anger to ruin this. “What’s the whole point of talking? Do you know how long we've been talking for? There's no use. There's only action now.”Thankfully, Nora appeared since we had passed her room and she had heard the noise. “What is going on?”I had to tell her through a mind link since I couldn't risk anyone else hearing what I had said. The walls had ears. “I knew something was up with the way they just appeared out of nowhere. Where did you get a gun?”I wondered when she had seen a gun in my hand and then I realized that she was speaking to Kaya. I slowly grabbed
ADRIAN I knew that I was the last person that she wanted to see but I still had to go see her. Now that things were finally over, it was the right time to see her. Normally, I should have waited until she got enough sleep so that she won't feel irritated when i woke her up. Her being irritated would just make things harder for us to talk out. But I was already at her door and I couldn't go back. Wait, why couldn't I go back? She doesn't know I'm here yet. Yes, I should let her sleep and then come back in the morning when she's well rested. As I turned my back to leave, I heard footsteps and then the door opened. We ended up looking at each other for a while before I came closer to the door. “Hey, I thought you'd be asleep and I didn't want to wake you up.”She looked at me with her eye half open. “No, you knew I was awake. You were scared. Come in.” Of course, she knew. I stepped int
KAYA “You were the one who packed up and left our three day old child in the hospital! You left me for over sixteen years and you think that I won't move on? I shouldn't even be looking for you to begin with but I didn't so that out son will have closure and you blame me for loving a woman who had a very good heart and cared for me?” The whole thing was conflicting because to an extent, I could understand what Alisha has gone through and how that shaped her life but what I couldn't understand was how Lucy got caught in her crazy web. “It doesn't matter if I left. You can't fall in love with my best friend or the woman I've loved for years! Its not fair. On top of all that, you only used me for sex. I hated all of you. I hated you and I hated Tim. But I couldn't hate Lucy. She was just the victim in all of this. I was sure that if she could understand that I truly loved her, then we would be together. She was the only one who only ever understood me. She knew my story, she knew abou
