“Brat…” Her heart thuds fast after hearing him speak. Krysie immediately turned off the call and blocked his number before dropping her phone on the bed. Her hand reached for her chest and she closed her eyes before heaving deeply. She tapped her cheeks to wake herself before finally deciding to take a cold shower. Thinking about what just happened is giving her a headache. This is a plain headache and heart tearing. The next day, Krysie was busy typing on her computer when someone placed a bouquet of flowers above her desk. She lifted her gaze and almost rolled her eyes. It's Aaron again. “Aaron…” she mumbled. “I said no flowers.” “I'm courting you,” he said and everyone on their floor heard that. Some did shriek, most of them rolled their eyes at her.Krysie bit her lip and smiled tightly. She's itching to tell him she already has a child, but she won't risk it. Especially now that the siblings owned this company where she's working in. “I'm married,” she lied. “The only relat
She groaned and rereads her letter again and again. She's excited to file a leave. Finally. She'll be home after a year of not seeing them in person. She's excited to hug her children. “Hey, Krysie. Taking a Christmas leave?” Olivia asked her. “Christmas is five months from now, Olivia.” She rolled her eyes. “I'm taking my leave to rest. I haven't taken my leave since I became an employee of this company.” “You really need to leave for a while,” Sunny chuckled. “So Antheia can have all Aaron's attention.” They all laughed together. It's been two days since that encounter she had with Carson. They didn't bother them again. And it's good. All she needs to do is throw frustrations and worries away. She's coming home. “Aaron didn't pay a visit for a while now,” Sunny said. “Someone's rejected.” Krysie breathes in, not bothering to speak. Noah will be here any moment, and who knows he will fetch her this night? She missed him so much. Noah's been taking care of her children while she
Krysie is almost running while making her way out from Noah's jet. She's wearing goddamn heels and she didn't mind it at all. Noah's chuckle filled her ears making her halt. She turned around to face him and raised her brows. “Are you laughing at me?” she asked. Noah immediately cleared his throat and looked away. “Who's laughing at you? I'm not.” She pouted at that. Noah reached her direction and held her waist. Krysie rolled her eyes at him and hugged him. He smells damn good, she could smell him forever. “I'm excited to see them, Noah.” She grunted. He started walking and she is, too. Arms still wrapped around each other. They landed in San Diego at exactly eight in the morning. Krysie is itching to hug her children. She missed them so much. “You need a good rest when you arrive at your condo, okay?” Noah kissed her temple. She happily nodded her head and kissed his jaw. “Yes, Sir.” Krysie started walking on their way out of the place. Knight's guards are assisting them and
Krysie checked his temperature for the nth time. Elias is sick. His body is so hot that she can't even take a nap for she's worried. She doesn't know why she's feeling this. He collapses in front of her because of a high fever. She's hesitant to call someone to help her bring Elias to the hospital. It was her instinct that drives to her put Elias on her bed. She wiped his forehead and neck with a piece of wet towel like she used to do with her children when they are sick. The thermometer made noise and Krysie was fast stood. She went near him and pulled the thermometer from his armpit to check his body temperature. It's 38.7° now, which made her feel at ease. It was forty a while ago before she wipe a wet cloth on his forehead. What is he doing here anyway? The last time she checks, he's in New York. Did he happen to follow her here? Because honestly, she doesn't believe in coincidence anymore. And he even knocked on her door. She stares at his sleeping face. Krysie took another d
Krysie woke up without Elias in her sight. The mere thought of it makes her smile bitterly. She can't understand herself why she's feeling this. Everything must be over. It's all in the past now. She massaged her temple and decided to take a cold shower. His scent is still lingering at the corners of the room. She just hope it'll vanish through the humidifier and air condition before her babies could return. Krysie changed into a comfy outfit and pursed her lips when she remembered something. She wasn't able to ask Elias about how ended up here. Then the thought of her being caught red-handed by Elias or Hunter inside this condo with her babies popped up inside her head. Damn, what was I thinking? She won't let that happen. Four years of hiding would be gone for good if she'll make one wrong move. Maybe it's a good thing that she left her babies in the mansion last night.Krysie stares at herself in front of the mirror and frowned. She tilted her head to the right and touched her n
“WHERE HAVE you been?” Hunter asked the moment he stepped inside the manor.He smirked. “Heaven.” Elias woke up early so he could leave. But of course, leaving without giving her remembrance doesn't sound so thrilling. So he put kiss marks on her neck and below her breast. He's imagining what would be her reaction at the moment she'll wake up.“Your jet left the last day and now you're returning home with a fucking smirk on your face. What's going on?” Carson asked. Hunter glared at him. “And you even permitted her to have left without telling us.” Elias roamed his eyes around the house. The house that they built for them…for her. It has her pictures hanging on the wall and her favorite arrangements all over the house. She's the only missing piece to complete the puzzle of this mansion. “I found a better plan to have her back,” he said. “but that doesn't mean it's fucking easy. My brat is cold right now.” “So you're with her?” Hunter raised his brow. He walked towards the couch
She was up all night. That freaking letter didn't let her sleep. She's just staring over the horizon while holding the envelope. Morning arrives and she is forced to move her ass to make breakfast for her babies. Even if she's not in the mood to move, she has to. She also needs to ask Noah about the invitation card he left last night on the center table. She checks the time on her wristwatch and heaved a deep breath. Krysie went to the kitchen and started doing her job. Maybe he can enlighten her. Maybe there's an explanation behind such events she's not aware of. She made a breakfast wrap, scrambled eggs, and bacon. She also prepared their milk and cereals, Haven's favorite. It took her an hour to cook everything, including everyone's breakfast. “You're early, huh.” Krysie turned around and saw Margaux. She smiled, but that didn't reach her eyes. “Hey. How's life?” “Doing great.” Margaux headed towards the fridge and pulled out some milk. “How about you? You're always arguing w
Want 66SHE HUFFED and gripped the railings tightly. Oh, God. I fucking hate this feeling. She looked up at the sky and heaved another deep breath. It's past three in the morning, and she's here. Overthinking her worth and her feelings. If she's enough to be valued or not. Everything feels like a stab in her chest. Hearing someone you love getting married and you're not the bride is heart tearing."Oh, God. What have I done wrong in the past to suffer this?" she whispered while looking at the wide sky. Noah tries to talk to her but she declines. She's done. It's all done. If he really did his best to stop the upcoming wedding, he could have done that long enough before she could know this shit. He could have told her. He could have... damn it. Krysie sniffed and looked down on the pool area where the water is glistening against the light from the corners of the pool. It's windy, the water's unstable. The same goes for her mental and emotional health, too. They're not stable. She c
