KAYA
I hadn't checked the back because there was still a lot of space on the front page to write anything.
“If you don't leave tonight, get ready to bury your daughter.”
My heart sank as I heard that and all of a sudden, my palms become sweaty.
“Kaya, it's just a threat. Forget about it. It's nothing. Don't be scared. Nothing will happen to her. I'll put a rush on the fingerprint and I'll get back to you tomorrow okay?”
I just nodded as Roy left..I wasn't thinking right anymore. I hoped nothing happened to my daughter.
Adrian didn't see that part of the letter.
My legs felt weak and I felt nauseous so I just fell to the ground and put my head in my hands.
“Kaya, c'mon, you can't do this here. What if someone passes and sees you like this? You're the Q
KAYA“What madness is this? Don't you know where you are? Who are you and what right do you have to touch my husband like that?”The fact that Adrian was just standing there like it was a normal thing pissed me off.She looked at me like I was interrupting something.“And who are you? Did you say your husband? Girl, you must be dreaming. This is Adrian, the King. Adrian, tell me this bitch is lying.”Bitch?“Don’t call her that and yes, she's my wife. Selena, you haven't asnwered my question. What are you doing here? What do you want?”She dropped her little purse on the table.“How could you be married, Adrian? You told me that you wouldn't ever marry and that's why we couldn’t be together. How come you married…this?”&n
KAYA“This is the last time I'll tell you not to speak to my wife like that. I don't care what it is you have to tell me but I won't take any insults directed at her..do I make myself clear?”She rolled her eyes.“Whatever. I-”“No, that is not what I asked. Do I make myself clear, Selena? I expect an answer like a normal human being.”“Yes. Yes my King. Now can I go on with my explanation on why this kid is yours?”I saw Adrian look at me but I ignored him. He was trying to read my mood, to see if I was still mad at him.I was. And I always will be.“You can continue.”“Thank you. As I was saying, you got me pregnant and this is your son. I mean, look at him. Isn't he a fine young man?”
ADRIANNever in my life did I think that Selena would come back here.I had even forgotten that she existed because she was in my life so long ago and she didn't leave any significant impact.She was just someone who I happened to know in passing.“Nora, I don't know what the hell is going on.”She had a son for me? What happened between us was so long ago that I don't even remember the exact details and I'm still trying to grasp what exactly happened.“Adrian, another woman and another child? I don't even know what to say. I mean, I know you once told me about her but that was so long ago.”“Exactly! That is why I didn't think that she'd come back and say things like this. After that night, I never saw her for once again. I left and I never went back.”
ADRIANThey brought her in and I was even scared to look at Kaya.“State your name and your claim. Note that you are befoe the official court so lying or fabricated stories would be duly punished once found out. You may continue.”The fact that she was always so unserious was what repelled me from her. She could never read the room.“Well, Adrian and I-”“I would advise you to refrain from calling the King by his name. No matter what history you have, he is still the King. Continue.”She rolled her eyes as she continued.“Well, the king and I had sex. I got pregnant. This is his son. How hard can that be for anyone to understand?”“Um, young lady. How sure as you that this child belongs to the King? I mean, how do we know that he's not for someone
KAYAI didn't have the time to waste dragging anything with anyone.All I knew was that at this point, anyone who crossed me would pay for it.All this rubbish that was going on wasn't even on my mind. All I was thinking about was what would happen tomorrow since I didn't leave Adrian.If the person in question even knew what was going on over here, they would not believe it. I'm sure that they would be even interested in hearing the full gist.AIl I wanted was my baby back. If I had her back, she would give me the strength to get through this rubbish that was going on.I knew that Adrian didn't even remember that his child was missing so I would look for my baby myself.Since he seemed to be more preoccupied with the appearance of his so called heir, then I would focus on finding my
KAYA“So tell that woman or whatever she is to wake up from her dreams because there is no way her child will be the King while I'm alive. Get her to do the test and then send her out of my house. I don't care what happens after that.”“Nobody will take Milo's throne. I'm not going to let him become the heir.”I didn't know where this came from but I knew it was from a place of rage and hurt.“Even if you try to think of giving the throne to him, I will kill you and everyone else who stands in my way until my son sits on that throne. That is not a threat. I'm sure you know I can do it.”Since they wanted me to go this far, I would. I wouldn't let anyone treat Milo like he wasn't a part of this family. I knew what he had gone through when this issue initially started.When those low lives decided to come af
KAYAI didn't even know when I slept off in my chair.By the time I woke up, it was already dark out and I jumped up almost immediately to see that there was no one at my side.At the end of the hallway, Nora and Adrian stood speaking to each other.The looks on thier faces..“No, please tell me she's not dead.”My knees gave in and I fell to the floor. Adrian rushed over.“Kay, Kaya. Take it easy. Just relax, it's going to be fine.”Who did this? How could they do this to her?“She’s not dead. She's in a coma. The doctor said that she's been exposed to the cold so much and after warming her up, she slipped into a coma.”I got up from the floor immediately.&l
KAYA“The DNA test. I want to tell Selena to bring the kid over so-”“Don’t even think about it and if you've already thought about it, kill the thought. Don't you dare bring that woman and her child into the same hospital as my daughter. I don't care where you want to take her to. Don't bring her here.”Adrian sighed. “Okay. I'll be outside speaking to the doctor.”“Do what you want.”He placed a kiss on my forehead as he walked out of the room. Bringing her here would be asking for war and I was ready to fight..Nora came after a while with a bag. “Hey, you need to eat. You haven't eaten anything today.”Now that she said it, that was when I realized that I actually hadn't eaten anything. But it didn't mean that I was hungry. “I don't need food right now, Nora. I'm not hungry.”“I wasn't expecting you to say that you were.”She brought the food out and opened th
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
