“It was Teresa, and she was calling because she needed some clarity on what kind of flowers to use for the charity event.” Kai explained, his eyes following as Catherine made her way to the water dispenser to have a cup of water.“Really?” Catherine sighed, disposing of the cup that she’d used. “I saw her calls but I was in the conference room and couldn’t pick up so I had it go to voicemail.”“I know, she told me.” Kai pointed out as he rubbed the bridge of his nose, time was going by quicker than he’d expected and some of the staff on the executive floor were already getting ready to leave.“Was she able to decide which one?” She asked and Kai nodded as he explained to her that he’d helped Teresa decide what flowers to use. Catherine raised an eyebrow, she’d always had an inkling that he knew about flowers but she wasn’t too sure.“What?” Kai pouted, his gaze returning to his computer screen. “Regardless of what you think or how I look, I know quite a lot about flowers and Teresa ha

The man, confused, was about to protest when Kai placed both hands on his shoulders and practically forced him to the backseat of the car.“I really won’t be alright if I don’t make it up to you,” Kai said as he held the door open for Catherine who got into the front seat of the car, beside the driver’s seat, and when he was sure that she was comfortable, he walked around the car and got into the driver’s seat.The driver back home was comfortable, and even though the man was experiencing some signs of discomfort because he felt like he should have driven the car instead, he couldn’t help but smile.Looking out the moving car, the night lights rapidly moved past as Kai drove like the kind of driver that should be featured in a fast and furious movie but everyone was comfortable.They were sure that they were definitely going to make it back home safely.“You remind me so much of your father,” the old man said, his voice loud in the silence of the car. Kai didn’t say anything immediate

“What about it?” Kai questioned as he finally sank into one of the empty couches. He stifled a yawn, if his grandfather was waiting up so late for him then it must be really important and his curiosity was taking the best of him too.He wanted to know what his grandfather had noticed about the charity fair that made him want to speak with him, Kai, so late at night, especially after a long day at work.“Nothing, really. I’m really proud of you, and I’m glad you’ve been thinking about hosting something so impactful even before you knew who you truly are.” Fabio responded.He shouldn’t have chosen this time to speak with Kai, he could see how tired his grandson was and after he mentioned the fair, he could see the worry lingering in his grandson’s face.“But, you don’t think it’s going to be a success?” Kai asked, an eyebrow raised. He didn’t think his grandfather was going to say something like that but he thought that after a few words of encouragement, there was always something comi

Days moved faster than ever around the Grant family and everyone associated with them, the preparation for the charity fair was underway and already a week away.“Catherine, you’re going to handle the mail, please. We do not have so much time to dilly-dally anymore.” Teresa pointed out, she was writing something on the paper she was handing.Catherine sighed, she was stressed out already, but this was something that Kai had been waiting for for almost all of his life, so she knew that she had to put her all into it and it was going to be worth it, definitely.“Fine! I already sent a few to the orphanage homes, elderly homes and all, I don’t know, are there any other mails you would like me to draft?” She asked, her eyes skimming through the menu.Teresa had put her in charge of the catering service, and even though she wouldn’t be cooking anything, she had the power to approve of anything on the menu or decline them.Work at the Rainbow corp has been put on hold, and all staff have be

“I don’t understand why you thought it was a good idea to help with all the heavy lifting, especially since we didn’t eat anything this morning.” Atticus whined as he sat on a demarcation.Kai laughed as he grabbed the water bottle he had taken from home and took a sip of water from it before handing it to Atticus who downed the whole content.“Hey! You could have left some for me.” Lorenzo barked, his voice so loud that it reverberated through the hall, and almost scared the workers.“Oh. I’m sorry, I didn’t think you were going to be thirsty.” Atticus responded and Lorenzo glared at him. Clicking his teeth, he knew the kind of person Atticus was and he knew that it would be better to not dwell on it.Lorenzo slumped on the floor, closing his eyes for a few minutes before slowly opening down to look at the well decorated ceiling, and even the chandeliers were perfectly decorated too.Things between him and Shadow are better now, even though it was evident that Shadow was still mad at

OCTAVIA ADLER.I couldn’t take it anymore, and my body was burning up in all the places that I didn’t think were possible to burn so hot. Aidan’s ragged breathing grazed my ear, adding more fuel to the fire.My lips parted, my thighs clenched and my pussy throbbed, desperate for something to stop the unbearable heat. My body grinded against his as I kept eye contact.Aidan looked like he was at the verge of telling me something, but the way his lips thinned, the small smile that tugged at the side of his mouth was enough to tell me that he had given up on saying whatever it was that he wanted to say.“I want you to be rough with me,” I continued, my breath coming in ragged gasps, my chest constricting as I held onto him for support. “I don’t want you to take things easy on me, I don't want you to pity me.” I paused.The bile at the back of my throat was starting to prove stubborn, no matter the amount of saliva I swallowed, I couldn’t quite get rid of it.“I want you to be feral with

“Yeah. It’s been about an hour since we called them to bring us food and it’s still not here yet,” A grumpy Atticus said as he kept scrolling through his phone.“We might as well just be grateful to them for wanting to share their food, and then not turn their generosity away, but—” He stopped talking when Kai glared at him.Atticus knew that he had taken his joke a tad bit too far, he hadn’t intended to take the food, especially since Kai had made it clear that he wanted them to enjoy their meal to their dill without having to worry about sharing.He’d just thought that joking about it since everyone seemed to think that all he cared about was food wouldn’t hurt that much, but he knew that he had taken it too far.“Scary,” Atticus winced, returning his gaze back to his phone while he kept scrolling, “it was a harmless joke, you weren’t supposed to take most of the things I say seriously.” He sighed.Kai didn’t say anything as he kept his eyes glued to the door. He knew that someone w

Atticus and Lorenzo went still at once at the sight of Fabio. It wasn’t fear, it was something far greater, and for someone like Atticus who had shared a lot with Fabio, he still had that feeling lingering for him.Respect.Everyone knew Fabio Grant, even a baby that was yet to be born, knew him and every single person with even a half formed brain, revered him. They knew not to go against the Grant family let alone Fabio Grant himself.And what’s worse? They’ve been so ignorant about his grandson that they had to be introduced to him. Everyone feared what was going to happen to them, they could almost feel their heads rolling on the floor.Fabio laughed as he walked in, the way he commanded the building, the way he bends even the will of the air, that was something nobody alive was capable of doing.Even the most fearless man in the world was scared of Fabio Grant. Scared of anyone whose last name was Grant.“Come on, everyone needs to ease up, the tension in here is making it hard f

The workers had no idea what to say, they’d all been given what could possibly be the greatest shock of their life, and neither of them knew when they would recover.The women were still affected by Kai’s charm, the way he lifted things as if they weighed nothing, the way he smiled at them tugged at their heartstrings, but they all knew better than to flirt, and so they schooled their facial expression back to seriousness.“Why did you have to go and say my last name?” Kai asked as he turned to Teresa who looked like she was having too much fun doing what she did.“Why shouldn’t I?” Teresa asked with a shrug, “don’t tell me that you think they don’t have a right to know who they work for?” She added.Kai shook his head, that wasn’t what he meant, and he knew that she understood but he couldn’t be bothered about explaining things to her.He knew Teresa now like he knew the back of his own hand, and he knew that she only did things that she wanted to do, things that amused her.“This on

“We got an invite?” Nora said as she stared at the invitation in her hand, she couldn’t believe that she’d gotten an invite to come to the charity auction.She knew for a fact that the Grant family was the owner of the Rainbow corporation, and she knew that with everything that had gone down these past month, getting an invite should be the last thing.Jake’s nose scrunched up, he still hadn’t been able to forget about the incident at the restaurant no matter how hard he tried, he didn’t know how Kai had figured out that he was working with some other people.Not like he had kept it a total secret from Kai, but he had kept it enough that he didn’t think he was going to figure it out. “What are they playing at?” He muttered.Lila turned to look at him, she had been noticing some shady pattern about him, but each time she tried to bring it up, he was always telling her that whatever he did, he was doing for their family.And true to his words, something was always happening and he was a
