He had no idea what to do and even his mind froze in place as he quickly searched that schematic mind of his for his next kind of action.He couldn’t possibly tell Nora that Kai had always been the one getting the meds while he merely took credit for it.Jake knew that he had to do something but the question now was what and just when he was drowning in his dilemma, the sound of his sister’s painful wince jolted him out of his thoughts.“Jake! I really need the medicine, I need to take it now or this pain is going to get out of control.” Nora said with urgency and her pain obvious in her voice.“Just wait for me! I’ll go and get the medicine right away!” Jake said with conviction, “I won’t let anything happen to you!” He added before hanging up the phone.He rushed to the nearest pharmacy to get Nora a cheap painkiller. He had hoped that was going to ease her pain in the meantime while he thought.Knowing how severe Nora’s case was, Jake knew that he had to somehow find a way to get t

Kai smiled heartwarmingly, he was finally going to be amongst people that make him feel wanted and among. People that wouldn’t do anything to betray or sabotage him.“We will be going to the private dining area, they are already waiting for us there.” Catherine said and just before they could step in, Kai felt pressed.He needed to use the restroom as soon as possible and Catherine was worried at first but when Kai explained that it was nothing major, she calmed down.“Where is the private dining area?” Kai asked Catherine who immediately told him how he was going to get there.“Very well then,” Kai said when Catherine was done showing him directions, “I’ll be there in a minute so you wait for me, please.” He added politely.Catherine’s face immediately turned red and her cheek felt so hot that it was almost as if she had gotten sunburned as she smiled at him.It was very rare to see men as wealthy as Kai be so humble and respectful to the people around them and even though he only kn

On hearing that, the manager broke out in a cold sweat, his legs going weak as he bowed respectfully and apologized repeatedly.“I am so sorry ma’am! I’m really sorry, ma’am, I had no idea that he was your guest.” He apologized, desperate to get Catherine to spare him.His heart thudded rapidly against his chest and his fear was obvious in his eyes and the way the color drained from his face.He didn’t expect that Kai was an important guest, especially a guest of the most important customer of the restaurant. The manager knew that no matter how much he tried, he could never get another customer like Catherine.Also, losing a customer like her would spell doom for them and that was the last thing he wanted, anger for the Benson family brimmed inside him as he apologized again.“Sir, I’m really sorry, I didn’t mean to—”“Let’s just go inside,” Kai said to Catherine, ignoring the manager who was trying to apologize to him because the damage had been done already.If Catherine hadn’t come

Kai couldn't help but marvel at the realization—the Grant family practically controlled half the city, yet few knew about the tight-knit connection between these powerful figures.He wondered how they were able to keep their connection under wraps, a secret, from the entire world because only few knew about this.“Well, thank you so much for accepting me.” Kai said. He had no idea what to say or how to show them that he was indeed grateful for having them in his corner.Teresa and Catherine only smiled, Lorenzo snickered and Shadow could be seen desperately wishing that the dinner would end because he wanted to go home.“Shadow; how many times have I told you that you need to socialize more, you need to get in the sun and not mope around your house all day.” Catherine laughed as she said.“Leave him alone, Catherine, he might be the legendary hacker but he definitely is the baby of the group.” Teresa cut in as she poured Shadow a drink.“Don’t worry, Shadow, you let me know if anyone

Lorenzo charged at Kai, ready to hit him but Kai effortlessly dodged and seized the opportunity to land a few solid punches. Kai held Lorenzo's wrist and after the punch, gave him a really hard smackdown.“OH!” Teresa and Shadow both cheered in unison but Lorenzo was taken aback, he was astonished by Kai’s combat skills.“That was just a warm up.” He said in a vague attempt to save face and again, he came at Kai head on but Kai who didn’t feel the need to go all out only moved his ankle swiftly so that he was standing behind Lorenzo.Lorenzo couldn’t believe how fast Kai moved and his entire thinking went foggy at once when Kai gave him a knee strike, controlling it and making sure it wasn’t strong enough to do real damage.“You said you weren’t going to go easy on me, Lorenzo,” Kai said, standing behind Lorenzo, “what, are you trying to mock me?” Kai asked.Lorenzo couldn’t believe it, he wasn’t trying to go easy on Kai and if anything, he was giving it his all but it just seemed lik
