I knocked twice on the door of Kairos's office on the first floor of the mansion. I caught him standing with his back facing the door. One of his hands was on his waist and the other was holding his phone. He gave me his weak smile and gestured for me to come near him. I held my breath and tried to smile before I walked closer to him."You didn't sleep last night." I said to him. He wrapped me in his arms possessively. One of his hands touches my waist. Kairos seated himself on the table top and me on the other hand remained standing.He shrugged his shoulders and put a few strands of my hair at the back of my ear. "I needed to fix things for your flight and the place you'll be staying at." He murmured. He rested his chin on my shoulder. I closed my eyes when his hot breath hit my neck that made the hair around my neck stand up.My hand started playing with the strands of his hair who are now longer than his usual hair cut."Do we really have to leave?" I asked in a low
"Nicholas, stop it!" Heidi's voice was full of anger. She followed me while I carry the unconscious Isla to a bedroom. I didn't say a word to her and continued walking until I reached the room itself."This is not love. This is obsession. I'm not in favor of what you're doing anymore." I carefully laid Iris on the bed and turned to face Heidi. Her eyes scream too much disagreement with everything that she witnesses. I took a step closer to her and that made her step back. The trembling of her hand did not escape the corner of my eye while it was holding the hem of the bomber jacket that she was wearing."I don't care about you or anyone else. I only need her. I only want her.""Are you really going to ruin your life for a woman who doesn't love you?" She shouted to cut off what I was saying. I couldn't stop myself any longer and my palm hitted her face which made her quiet for a few seconds.It took her moments to redeem herself and when she did. Seething anger on her pools
"I thought your investigator and the NBI agent is working on it? Why do you still not know where Nicholas took my Isla and daughters?" Kairos shouted at the men in front of him.Kairos closed his eyes when he felt pain in his wound from the gunshot that Nicholas.Kio took over. He confronted the agents that Laurant was talking to earlier. "We hope to hear another lead from you but for now it's better for all of you to leave us alone." Kio said. The agents nodded to him in agreement. Just in time with the agents leaving his hospital room. A doctor and Kairo's nurse walked in to check on his fresh wounds."We need to be left alone with the patient, Sir." The female nurse said to Kio. He glanced at his cousin one more time before he left the room as he was told.The female nurse quickly injected Kairoz with an enough dosage of anesthesia after she removed the bandage from his wound while the doctor started to clean it after she stepped away from Kairos.It also took them more tha
"The infamous Isla Lancaster It's so nice to finally meet you." Odette is wearing a devilish smile as she walks towards me. She sat on the edge of the bed and looked at me quietly, which eventually ended with her laughing at me.She stood up and shook her head. Seeing me tied in bed like this tells me one thing. She is glad to see me suffering.She darted her eyes back at me with the same smile. Odette came closer again then she dug her sharp nails and traced my cheek with it and she end up caging my jaw on her fingers. I gritted my teeth and keep those groans of pain inside of my lips for I don't want to give her the satisfaction of seeing me hurting because of her.I tried to move my face away from her hand as my way to fight back but she didn't let go of me and instead she tightened her grip on my jaw and she started to laugh in a mocking manner."What the hell is so special about you huh? You're just a lowly stripper like me and yet you managed to win his heart when I couldn't
"Nicholas grab the bait." Said by an nbi agent from the radio that Kairos and Kio immediately heard. They turned to the window where they could see the car parked at the back of the hide out that Heidi had put a tracker with."Fuck!" Kairos cursed out loud after he saw Nicholas driving away from his hide out."Where's Heidi? Her phone? That's where we can see the location of the car that Nichola's driving.""Heidi's dead but I got her phone." Special Agent Montefiore mumbled to them. He immediately searched for Nicholas's location through Heidi's phone amf they are taking a familiar road that leads to a cliff."I know that place. We should head there now." He told the agent and Barrette nodded.Kairos walked out of the room first to instruct his men on their next plan and then he turned to Kio."Please take care of my daughters. I will leave them under your care. I need to save, Isla. I'd die if something bad happens to Isla.""Our men will take care of them, Kairos. I already in
I was staring at the white ceiling of the powder room inside the club's dressing room. I choked on the mouthwash that I had in my mouth as someone started banging on the door. "Isla, are you in there? You have a VIP client waiting for you!" said the club's manager. I quickly spit out the mouthwash from my lips and stared at the door with my eyebrows almost meeting and about to form a line in the middle. I dried my lips with the back of my palm as I walked towards the door. I just left the VIP room almost ten minutes ago after I entertained a regular client. I am not expecting another client for at least an hour from now, but oh well. Who am I to reject an opportunity to make more money than usual? "Did I hear it right? Why is she getting another client? She just had her second VIP one moment ago, and now you'll give her another good-paying client? Felix, this is unfair. You're playing favorites!" Veronica, my sworn enemy, started to rant and whine as I left the comfort room. She dar
I looked around the VIP suite to make sure that there was no camera panning on my face as the bachelor dropped his jaw-dropping offer."What's your bank account? I'll send half of the promised amount right at this moment. The other half will be in your account after you say your vow to Kairo," he said. The handsome and filthy wealthy stranger handed me his phone. I was smiling as if daring to challenge his seriousness and authority. I typed in my bank account details and handed him his phone back. He tore his eyes off me as he typed a few more things on his phone. On cue, he looked back at my face. I heard a text notification from my phone. Here comes half a million dollars. This man isn't bluffing at all!With my eyes wide open. I could not help but curse. "Oh my... you're serious," I blurted out. He subtly lifted his arm to check the time on his Rolex and stood up from the leather couch. "A limo is waiting for us outside. You can't be seen wearing something like that. I don't wan
"Oh my. She looks exactly like our Rory." A woman in her early fifties commented as soon as I walked inside a mansion. From the intricate details on the high ceiling of their home down to the circulating air all over, everything in there screams luxury and not the kind of luxury that I am already aware of. This definitely screams the luxury of the top one percent in our society. Suppose my type is seen as rats by the rich people that I am exposed to. I am sure I am nothing but a speck of dust to this family. God, who are they? Why do they have everything that I want in life? "Dear?" The elegant woman with a soft voice spoke. She handed her hand to the old man standing beside her. I can see a glimpse of Nicholas's features on him that made me assume that he is the master of this household."Isla, she is Rory's mother. Claudia Spencer." Nicholas correctly introduced me to the woman. I looked at her and flashed a wide grin on my lips. When I am about to offer her my hand, I can introduc
