I was still sprawled on the bed when I hear Kayden come in.“Zara, why did you run off to film the series when you’re not fully recovered yet?”Oh, the nagging. Mr. Jones must have told him everything.Kayden comes forward and frowns. “Hey, can you be a little more careful when you lie down?”“Why must I be careful at my own home?” I say indolently. “My life would be redundant otherwise.”Kayden picks up the blanket from one side and covers me with it.I wriggle my waist. “What are you doing? It’s so hot.”Kayden turns his head away. “Even if you want to seduce me, at least do it with panties that can do the job.”I blank out at what he said. I was wearing a homely pair of casual shorts that were on the loose side. Underneath my panties were presently exposed.Blushing, I quickly pull my pants up and stand up. “What? It’s not like you haven’t seen it before anyway.”Kayden smiles and comes slightly closer to my face. “So you are saying since I’ve seen it, I can see it whenever I want
After God knows how long, he still wasn’t here. I woke up from my nap but he’s nowhere in sight. It is already past midnight.A little worried, I wriggle myself into the wheelchair and make my way to his office, finding it’s still closed. I knock on the door, “Kayden, are you inside?”There was no answer, not even a sound. He’s so stubborn. But I get an idea as I look at my leg. “Kayden….my …. My leg hurts. Where’s the doctor?”I a moment, the door opens, revealing Kayden who has his eyes narrowed as he asses me. “Your leg hurts?”I quickly hold onto my thigh, “Yes, it suddenly started hurting really bad.”Kayden squats down in front of me. I was wearing shorts and the bandages were covering the wound on my thigh. It didn’t look like anything was wrong. But I have to carry out this lie now.He reaches out his hand and presses my thigh. “Does it hurt here?”“Yes, yes it does.”Kayden repeats the same near my inner thigh. “Here?”“Yes there.”“Does it really hurt?” he asks a little susp
Pov: KaydenAt the hospitalOf course, I knew she was lying. But what if she really is in pain? I didn’t want to take any chances. I took the fastest possible way to reach the hospital by my chopper.She looked dazed when I placed her on the seat and I assumed she is new to all this, so I helped her tie the belt where my hand slightly touched her waist and lower breast but I ignored it when she jerked back to reality.We reached the hospital in ten minutes as calculated and the doctor gave Zara a quick check-up. Everything is fine thankfully. She flashes me a toady smile, “You should sleep. It’s been hard on you.”I glare at her before sitting down. Even though she said she wanted to talk to me, I didn’t give her any response. I was still mad for some reason and this was getting to my head.But this woman as stubborn as ever, directly jumps down the bed without caring about her leg and hisses holding onto her thigh.I toss everything aside and run to her. I hold her up like a baby and
Pov: ZaraAlthough I don’t want to go, I’m still angry at how Hana provoked me on the phone call she made.“Linda’s engagement is this weekend. You can set aside some time to come, right?”My heart almost stopped when I heard that. They were formally getting engaged!My hand, which was holding the phone, trembled slightly. I don’t want to return home to see the faces of my so-called family members; neither do I want to see Noah marrying someone else. “Why do I need to go? It’s not like you guys ever considered me as family.”Hana snorted, “Why? Do you still have feelings for Noah? It’s all the more reason you should come. It’ll help you give up on him completely.”“I can’t do anything about this if you put it like that.” I grit my teeth.“Oh is that what’s going on? I see you’ve been working on yourself. You even went to Kai Marshall to make headlines. It’s a pity, he didn’t bother to even look at you. But don’t worry, Linda’s engagement will definitely make headlines. It’ll give you
I turn my head to see Kayden behind, dressed in a black suit as he walked over. His tall stature brought about a king-like aura. His eyes were unwavering, like no one could look deeper in.I felt his hand pushing behind me without much resistance. I did not expect him to be here. Nobody would actually. I didn’t even tell him that I would be coming here.It’s just a contractual marriage. Why would I bother him with something like this?When I looked up, my eyes met his dark, deep eyes that seemed to be staring into mine. He then raised his eyes to look at my father and stepmother with obvious contempt.Hana glared at Kayden. “Who are you?”Kayden nonchalantly glanced over Hana and completely ignoring her, asked me in a cold and sharp voice. “Is this your stepmother?”“Hm.” I made an affirmative voice.Hana indignantly pointed finger at Kayden. “You must be Zara’s boyfriend. Who allowed you to be here?”Kayden held onto my wheelchair and without even batting an eyelid to Hana he said, “
Zara goes inside the bathroom and comes out with a bathrobe on. It displayed her slender legs and she looked very comfy. I couldn’t divert my eyes.“I had no choice but to wear this. Seriously, it’s your fault entirely.”I could only stare at her in the bathrobe with the sash loosely around her waist. If I had not known this woman’s intelligence, I would have felt she was deliberately seducing me.If she is only wearing a bathrobe, it means that underneath was only some lingerie…My body grew hotter, I couldn’t find the heart to look away. My mind was full of her skin and her loose outfit. Reaching in would be so easy…I shook my thoughts away when I heard a knock on the door.“The clothes are here? Quick, bring them in.”I nod and go out of the bedroom to open the door. Since it was a suite the bedroom was inside. I close the bedroom door and sigh heavily before walking towards the main door.However, to my surprise, it was a man with jet-black hair and a pale face. Noah Quinn.As so
Pov: ZaraLater at night, I was sitting in the room looking at my phone, reading the news that was already reporting on Linda’s engagement. The party looked amazing and everybody commented on how beautiful the couple looked.I sigh and opened my Twitter. It is always filled with discussions. However, I came across the thread of Kai Marshall’s official fan club “Kai's Keepers”.“Although I do not think you deserve our Kai, he likes you and so as his Keepers, we will support you.”I was puzzled. What did it mean he liked me…?There were a series of comments below showing bewilderment, confusion, etc. Some were giving us their blessings. What the hell is going on?Just then, Yvette calls me. As soon as I pick up, I heard, “Zara, what’s going on? You’re together with Kai?”“Who’s together with who?” I have no clue what is happening.“Kai just tweeted. You didn’t see it?”Of course, I didn’t. Isn’t that why I’m clueless?Yvette continues, “Everybody is going crazy. It looks like he declare
Henry was already at the door when I arrived home. He had a tablet in his hand. “Sir… it all started when Mr. Kai posted a tweet. He didn’t state anything clearly but the news speculate that he… was…”“Was what?”“Was confessing to Ms. Wilson.”He had to be joking. This is so ridiculous!My frown deepens when I take the tablet from him to see the tweet. There were many comments below his tweet.I think they look quite good togetherThey are so different from the usual famous couple. Not badAs long as Kai wants, we approve. Congratulations on being together.I close the tablet, irritated to see all this.“Sir…”“I thought I told you to stop any news regarding Kai!”Henry was sweating buckets. “Sir, we did. It’s just that this is the first time that Mr. Kai Marshall has announced a relationship, so some tabloids continued.”“Relationship?” I stare at him coldly.Henry realized he said something wrong. “Of course, the reporters don’t know that he’s just joking.”I raise my hand silencin
