CHAPTER 60: BIT BY BIT
“This has to be the best girl’s day out I have had since I got back?”
“What?” Kali gasped. “Just since you go back? Then I am doing something wrong. I plan to top all of them.”
“You are on the right track.” Ember looked up after tightly lacing her neon orange skates.
Kali helped her up, and together they walked around the ring. As she got more comfortable with the shoes, they started to skate, meandering through the bodies of people in the ring, moving in sync, hand in hand. Ember chuckled, allowing the music lead her when they let go of each other.
“You are good.”
“I used to enjoy skating so much. My brothers were very good with skateboards, but I wanted to outdo them in something. So, I learnt how to skate and a few skills here and there. Sure, they can beat me on the boards, but on this,” She twirled on the toes of her shoes before gliding over the floor. “They c

Kali lathered herself up, humming as she enjoyed the warm shower. It was Friday. That meant she got to come home and enjoy herself without thinking about work for the next couple of days. But she wasn't in the mood to stay home. She wanted to do something else, something different, something fun.She heard the door to one of the closest shut, and she rushed out of the bathroom, grabbing the bathrobe from the rack and throwing the door open. Samuel was almost out of the room when she caught up to him."Samuel. Stop."He did, turning to find her soaking their tiled floor and clutching the front of the robe with her hand. "You're wet and dripping.""I can tell. I'll mop it up. Are you going out?""Just downstairs. I want to get something out of the car.""Alright." She swiped a wet hair from her face and nervously smiled. "Are you free tonight? Or do you have any plans?""Plans? No. I don't.""Do you want to go out to eat? Somewhere simple and outdoorsy, maybe?"He grinned. "Don't feel li
DANGEROUS GAMES CHAPTER 62: FACING THE FACTS
"Come on, dad. A short walk around the street will be good for you."Flora pulled off the blanket and helped him up to his feet. He had been spending so much time at home that she wondered about his health. Aside from the drugs, he needed good meals and exercise. He had been neglecting his exercises. Since he was on a break from work, he had little to do in the house but the small chores he could find because she didn't leave much for him to do."You don't have to stay around fussing over me every night. Go out. Enjoy some friendly company.""I will, Dad." She helped him into his jacket and set his sandals down at his feet. "As soon as we get you on a planned schedule.""I'll start taking walks. I'll eat whatever you leave in the fridge for me if it means you'll get back to even a semblance of your past self.""I will. I will."She was putting in the effort. Thankfully, aside from the magazines that posted stories of Samuel's family here and
DANGEROUS GAMES CHAPTER 63: A LOVE SHE DESIRED
"Hey." Kali smiled as she heard Samuel's greeting. "How's it going?""Same as yesterday. I called to tell you I'd be late again today.""Alright."She heard a door close and the jangling of keys. "Did you get home right now?""Yes. I spent some time with Peter at the mansion. We talked, and time escaped me.""I hope things are fine?""They are good.""Fine. See you later.""Take care."She placed her phone down and collapsed back on her seat. Even with all the work she had to do, her mind travelled back and forth between the present and the past. Samuel didn't say much about their run-in with Flora, and she didn't push him to. With his relationship, she only listened and gave as little of her opinion as possible. No matter how close they were as friends, she believed his decisions regarding the woman he loved were his and his alone.Flora had barely looked at them on the street. She said hello and goodbye, but there was no emotion behind her eyes. She might have reached the indifferenc
DANGEROUS GAMES CHAPTER 64: SOMETHING IN THE AIR
“Ember would be so disappointed in me. She taught me the steps, and somehow I mess it up after a week of her gone.”Samuel laughed. “I mean, you were juggling a lighter schedule then compared to now. Maybe you should return to the drawing board and see how to manage yourself while employed.”“I will. Thankfully, I was able to get something for tonight. Thanks for going with me.”“It was a pleasure.”He set the bags on the coffee table, and she took out the items they bought. First, from the flower shop, she got some hand-weaved baskets and a bunch of flowers to send to her sister on the anniversary of her parent’s death, which wasn’t too far away. She had also stopped by the mall to pick up
DANGEROUS GAMES CHAPTER 65: IT BEGINS WITH A WELL PLACED EAR
The water did little to help him, but he still cupped his hand underneath the rushing nuzzle, all the same. He waited for his palms to fill before splashing the water over his face. Kiss Kali had been a bad call. He couldn't make any excuses. The truth was he wanted to kiss her and saw no reason to stop when she kissed him first. Only he would do something as stupid as that when they needed to spend the entire evening together. She would be beside him because Ember wasn’t around to keep her company, and her sister had school.“You already did this. Don’t be a coward, and get out there.”He dried
DANGEROUS GAMES CHAPTER 66: A DINNER FOR THE AGES
"Good evening, ma'am." The young maid greeted them as she took their jackets."Are they already at the table?" Samuel asked."Yes. Peter would be down soon. He is the last one.""Thanks, Mindy." The maid scurried away, and Samuel looked at her. "Try and keep your head.""I promise nothing but to keep my sanity."
DANGEROUS GAMES CHAPTER 67: LIGHTS DOWN LOW
Samuel flicked the lights on as they entered the house. Kali walked behind him, pulling the band off her hair and massaging her scalp with a groan. Dinner had gone swimmingly. Exactly how they expected it to go. What was clear tonight was how enthused his mother was with whatever went on at the table. Throughout the dinner, he saw through her façade of disgruntled matriarch to the woman who relished the tarnishing of Kali’s character.“All that time spent on the road reminding me to be calm tonight, and you end up losing your cool.” Kali grinned as they dragged themselves into the living room.
DANGEROUS GAMES CHAPTER 68: CUTTING THE HEAD OF THE SNAKE
Samuel left for his lunch break early the next day to meet his mother at home. It didn’t surprise him to receive her call. It had taken three days more than he expected, but it came nonetheless. He had arrived on time at the mansion, noticing that none of the other cars were around. The garage was being cleaned, and he couldn’t see any other cars except his mothers. That meant his father and Giovanna had also stepped out for the day.For the next three weeks, there were no dinners or parties planned except for Kali’s birthday. His mother turned down the invitation, claiming she already made plans for that day months ago, which was alright with him. He told Kali she would do that. And no doubt fine with Kali. For the next three weeks, he had
