KAYA
By the time I woke up, it wasn't morning yet and Nora was standing by the gate, staring out.“Nora, you know you're not on guard right? You can sit down. You can't stand through the night. You need to rest too.”She came back to sit beside me.“I’ll get us out of this. Don't worry, I'll think of something.”I didn't want her to put pressure on herself. Anything that wants to happen should happen.I didn't have the strength for anything that was happening right here.“Don’t bother yourself, Nora. We’ll be fine. As long as we don't get thrown in jail, nothing will happen. We'll figure a way to get through this.”It was past midnight and the activities in the station had died down. It just remained a few officers who hadn't fallen asleep asides the ones who had.I looked at the female officer who was busy working. She looked so focused.An idea suddenly struck me.I calleKAYAI just sat there on the floor, thinking about my life..I felt quite weak and I was really hungry. My stomach made a noise and Nora heard it. “Was that you?”I nodded. It was funny how the two ladies in the cell passed out and till now, they haven't moved an inch. “Dont worry about it. I'll look for something to eat for you.”We were both in the cell. How would she find me something to eat? Besides, we both needed to eat. Not just me.An officer came back with fresh breath mints and opened our cells. “Look sharp. The father of the boy you took wants to see the two women who caused such a ruckus yesterday. You should have planned your escape better.” If we had truly kidnapped the kid, there is no way they would have never found us because as soon as we left the bar, that's the last time anyone will see us. But I just left them to believe what they wanted to. It was obvious everyone here was a knuckle head and I didn't have the time to engage them. If they were going to take
KAYA“Get down and get out.”Weren't they supposed to bring us out? “We’re in cuffs, you flipping twit!”They turned around to look at us. Well, me and Nora's angry face. “Oh.”What did I do to deserve this?.They finally had mercy on us and brought us down from the car. “Walk straight and don't look at anyone. You're the bottom of the food chain.”He's not going to be on the food chain by the time I get out of here. The place was big. I'm guessing it's because it's the district. We got in the elevator and the only thing that could be heard at first was the changing of floors..Well, that was until the officers decided that they wanted to tell us about how wild their last night was. Nora couldn't hide the disgust on her face and she made sure that they saw it. “Do you have something to say, girl? Or you want me to hit it out of you?”“I’d like to see you try.”“What did you say?”As he walked over to Nora, I just closed my eyes because I was beginning to get sleepy and anything
KAYAI don't know if Nora forgot that we were being arrested and we were going to have records and could possibly go to jail if not for the fact that we were who we were. But if this was a normal situation and we had really planned to kidnap that kid, there was no way we would not spend the rest of our lives in jail. She didn't even care about the fact that he was the district commissioner. I think that fact even irritated her more because she just kept speaking to him no matter what he said. It was like they knew each other before and she hated him already. “You kidnapped my son! There's nothing else you want to say! People in the bar agree with the story!”People in the bar? The motorcycle guy…he was the only one who could tell the truth. “The people in the bar are drunk fools! They wouldn't know what's happening even if the sun came down and fell on their heads. You want to believe them?”Nora was surely going to wear him out eventually. All I had to do was stand there and wa
KAYA“I don't think he did it.” Was the first thing I told Nora as we entered the back of the car. “I know..I was trying to rile him up to see how bad his anger was. Perhaps that was what led to her death. But he remained calm.”I knew that was what she was trying to do..So what do we do now?Oh well, I'm sure this whole misunderstanding would be cleared up today because I couldn't spend another night in that cell. And why the hell had Adrian not come looking for me? Hadn't he checked his phone to see my texts or calls? And didn't Milo see the text?What the hell was going on?Didn't they realize that I wasn't around or were they finally relieved that I was out of the house?“Either way, we still need to find out what he and Lucy had that made him call her that much. It's not normal for a business relationship.”I'll try my best to speak to him today so he can clear things up..There were just too many inconsistencies. “I mean, if there was nothing going on between him and Lucy,
KAYA“Milo, where the hell is your father? Isn't he getting my texts? Why isn't he coming? Why didn't he come with you?”The door opened and Nora walked into the room. “I don't know. He hasn't been home. I haven't seen him yet.”What on earth was going on? Where was my husband? “What about your brothers? Are they okay?” He nodded. “They’ve been asking a lot of questions about you and dad though and I'm running out of things to tell them.”I needed to go back to my home. “Nora, get us out of here. I need to go back to my kids since my husband has forgotten who he is.”My head was still spinning when I tried to stand up. “Kaya, you need to rest. You hit your head pretty bad.”I touched my head and thankfully, there was no bandage. Only a bandaid. “Don’t worry about me. I'll rest when I go back home and check on my kids.”I could tell that we were still in the station, they probably just took us to the lounge area.By the time I get back home, Adrian better be dead or dying becaus
KAYAThat's exactly what I did when I got home.I headed for Lana's took where I saw the maid feeding her.“My Queen.”“Is she crying? Let me see her?”I dropped my bags and headed straight to take her. She seemed heavier as I carried her and her face lit up as I called her name.“Hello, my princess. Did you miss me? You seem to be going well.”I didn't know whether I should be happy that she was doing fine or I should be sad that she probably didn't notice that I was gone.“Maaamma!”I just froze, not being able to say another thing.I looked at the maid who had a big smile on her face.“Is that her first word?”Th
KAYA“Kay-”“Adrian, please. I'm trying to get some sleep. Sleep that I couldn't get because you left me in that cell for days! Please, leave me alone.”I walked over to my side of the bed and pulled the covers over me. I didn't have time to banter words with him. “Why’re you acting like this? I thought I already apologized. Why are you making it to be something it's not?”I knew what he was doing. Riling me up so I would talk. But I won't give in to him. I had to get up early tomorrow. Tobias was coming and I was almost definitely going to be spending the first part of the day alone since I wanted Nora to go and get me the case files. After I saw Tobias, I would meet up with her so that we would go to Lucy's house together. From what I gather, the house had been closed down since the murder. I just hoped that no one had gone into the house after the murder to mess things up. “Kaya, going to bed while angry isn't going to make things better. Besides, I had no idea you were going
KAYAI ended up sleeping in Milo's room that night because I really didn't want to sleep alone. So I decided to sleep with him. In the morning, I had just opened my eyes when the door opened. Nora stood in the doorway, already prepped for the day and she signalled me to come out since Milo was still fast asleep. I slowly removed my arm from under his head, trying not to wake him up. “Tobias is here, in the waiting room.”Already? What time was it? “Nora, I need you to do something. Go to his office and get the files of Lucy's murder. I want to go through them. After that, I'll meet you up at the house. We need to go through her house to know what her life was like.”I'll just ask one of the guards to take me to Lucy's. “You’ll question him alone?” “Yeah, I just need to shower first.”I genuinely felt like I could use a few more minutes in bed but that phase of my life
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
