Kraius was eyeing the whole Bailey family inside his car. He was so tired from work and it was already late but he still found time to drop by. He watched the huge mansion from outside and familiarized the place. He didn't even know that the family wasn't inside, not until a Mercedez Benz A-class parked in front of it. He was like a stalker in his situation, watching them from afar while he was inside of his car and looking at them intently as if he didn't want to skip any details. He may look desperate but he didn't care. He wanted to watch them alone rather than asking for his people's help. In a few minutes, Kraius saw Rhezi come out of the car. His forehead creased seeing her carrying one of her kids who was hugging his mother's back. His heart throbbed from the sight. He even moved to open the car's door but he ended up shaking his head. He looked at them again after... and saw no one. Pissed, Kraius hammered his steering wheel. It produced a sound, yet the place remained sile
Rhezi has been very agitated, pacing back and forth inside her room. Her hands trembled a little and her heart was beating fast. The young lady felt as if she just finished running from a race, feeling restless even though she's been trying to convince herself."Are you ready?" The door opened and revealed Jericho's face. Rhezi instantly shifted her gaze and looked at the man. He was all smiles while holding a travelling bag in his right hand, obviously ready to go to their destination."I don't know." Rhezi shook her head. "I-I am not sure of this, Dada. Dos is sick and—""Dos is not sick, Momma. You're just overreacting." He rolled his eyes, walking inside to carry Rhezi's and the kids' luggage. "Let's go, or else we're gonna get stuck in a traffic." Jericho went out of the room first, rolling his eyes at the woman once more before getting out. He left Rhezi dumbfounded with everything happening so fast. She wanted to tell him that she was unwell too, but Jericho looked very deter
Rhezi couldn't explain what she was feeling at the moment. She was in tears and her heart was throbbing so hard. Until now, the lady still couldn't believe what just happened. It was so fast and her gut was even right, so no matter how hard she tried to convince herself, she can't help but to blame herself and her negligence. "It's okay. Dos will be fine," Jericho muttered as he held her hand. "How could you say that?" Rhezi turned to him. "I told you. . ." Rhezi stopped and sighed, it's useless to point fingers at each other now."I'm sorry," he mumbled, looking sincere.Rhezi nodded her head. They were currently sat on the backseat of the car as they drove the long road. They brought one bodyguard with them to maneuver the car because they both couldn't manage to drive safely. The car was following Kraius which was obviously driving fast to the nearest hospital. When the car stopped, Rhezi immediately got out of it, Jericho following suit. They saw Kraius' figure carrying Dos, st
Rhezi felt like it was the question that she couldn't answer in her whole life. It was the hardest despite it having the simplest answer. The woman just couldn't bring her lips to utter and let go of the words that would change everything."What?! Are they my kids? Is this the reason why you left?" he fired question after question. "Answer me. Damn it!" Kraius frustratedly snapped. Rhezi was frozen on her feet, not even functioning enough to take a step. Her feet seemed to be stuck on the floor she was standing on while her eyes lingered at Kraius' mad expression. She couldn't even manage to blink, and as she watched Kraius holding Dos' little hand, she realized that she couldn't deny it anymore. She couldn't prolong the truth from reaching him. The woman was hurt by the fact that after all of the suffering she had gone through, in the end, she's still lost. That after trying her best to hide through the past years, it couldn't erase the truth. For truth is like a smoke; it will fin
Rhezi could clearly hear Jericho cursing from her position. She followed him after the fight with Kraius which happened inside Dos' room. The lady was a little hesitant if she should approach him or not, seeing that the man was looking pissed whilst his left hand was holding his right cheek. Nevertheless, she decided to go and check on him."I'm sorry," the woman started, walking towards the man. "You you got hurt," she finished the statement.Jericho halted and faced Rhezi. He smiled bitterly. "I've been hurt for a while now," he hinted, not even blinking. Rhezi felt guilty because of Jericho's words. He wasn't really much a part of her messed up life before, but now she got him involved. She dragged him in a situation that she wasn't even prepared to encounter. And probably never will."I'm sorry," Rhezi said apologetically. She lifted her hand and touched Jericho's face. Her expression softened as he held the back of her hand. Just like before, he still closes his eyes whenever th
“You can't do this to me!”A loud exclamation from Rhezi resonated inside Kraius' office that afternoon. She was pacing back and forth in front of Kraius' table while the latter was looking at her with a mocking smile plastered on his lips. He was obviously teasing and playing her to his content. She was busy taking care of Dos when she received a letter from the firm. Her resignation was declined, and along that paper from the firm was another paper which contained the possible cases that can be filed against her for her indolence at work.She had gone mad. She did not waste any time and went straight to Kraius' office. Dos was better so she let their maids take care of him. Her strides were fast while gripping the paper in her fist when she entered Montreal firm as she was shocked to hear what the man said.Kraius definitely tricked her. The paper stating about the work was just a front. It was obvious from the way he looked at her. "And why is that?" Kraius said mockingly and sh
Rhezi and Jericho silently drove back to the Bailey mansion. The drive was smooth as the road was free of traffic. The man occasionally glanced at the lady, who was quietly looking outside the window.Jericho wanted to explained what Rhezi saw but the latter stopped him from doing so. She didn't want to hear a word from him not until they reached their own home. She didn't want other people to see them argue, although she really couldn't forget what happened.Hasmet Montreal smirked and left after she asked the both of them, not even bothering to answer Rhezi's question. He lightly tapped the woman's shoulder before walking away with authority, clad in his expensive suit and tie.Rhezi's mind was clouded with a lot of thoughts. She knew that Jericho's family is well-off. They actually came from a wealthy family in Germany, but his father established his business in Istanbul. He owned the most famous restaurant there.She once saw Jericho's parents when they visited them in Dubai. It w
Rhezi froze in her place as she stared back at Kraius. She wanted to say words to him but her mind seemed shut that she couldn't even think straight. She didn't know what to do or what to say with her heart erratically beating. So in the end, she let herself fall into the deep stares of the man.It's been years since they last stood together in that special place. They even wrote those words that became the only decoration of the place. The words that Rhezi almost worshipped everytime she heard it being uttered by the man.SENI SEVIYORUM"It's been a while," Kraius spoke which snapped Rhezi out of her reverie.Rhezi blinked and shook her head, nodding as a response to the man. "Yeah," she answered, trying to keep herself calm, even if she was hurt to see them together in one place. The place they once called their safe haven."Sit," the man commanded.Rhezi mindlessly obeyed him. She nodded and walked slowly towards the couch in front of her, the man also doing the same. For Rhezi, t
