Devin quickly placed the drunk man in the back of his car and zoomed off. His heart was racing. Without a doubt, he knew something was wrong with Kia.

And he was right.

In the private room of the Four-Star Intercontinental Hotel, Kia lay on the couch, drugged, tired, and extremely thirsty. Her stepmother and aunt were knocked out by the drugs and were unconscious on the floor.

“Help…” Kia muttered. Her weary eyes roamed around the room, taking in the mean-looking bodyguards that stood at a distance, watching her.

Then, the door opened. Malcolm and Luther stepped into the room, wearing frowns on their faces. Malcolm chuckled when he saw Kia, groaning on the couch.

“The bichy's still awake?” He asked a bodyguard who shrugged his shoulder.

“She's been a tough one. Even tried to give someone a call but I took her phone,” the bodyguard replied and handed Kia's phone to Malcolm.

“Of course she did. The stupid whore has a reputation for causing trouble. How dare you try to fuck my life up?

    Amanda sat down with a half-empty bottle of wine in her hand and kept her eyes on the ceiling fan above her. It spun slowly, creaking every few seconds like it was bored too. She was in Luther’s house, but he wasn’t home. She hadn't spoken to anyone all day, and she hadn’t eaten either. She didn’t feel very hungry. She could still remember what Viktor had told her, and it was all she could think about. Would it do her good to agree to ally with him? She blinked hard, shaking her head. Was she really considering this? Killing Kia? She was after Devin, but then again, Kia could count as a part of him. Her hand trembled slightly as she raised the bottle to her lips again. “Devin’s child.” She muttered. “Of course. It’s always fucking Devin.” She should have been the one carrying his baby. If only he was patient! But no! He had to go and be with someone else. The door opened, but she didn’t bother to look. Luther walked in, holding a bag in one hand and his keys in the other. He l

    Kia didn't feel like herself the moment she entered into her home. She went to drop her bag in and then to get a sip of water. She needed it. At first, she thought what was wrong with her was just exhaustion, especially as her legs felt heavier than usual, and her throat burned. It was almost like she was having a fever, but she really wasn’t. Not to mention the pain in her lower back, and the pounding in her chest that made her feel like her heart was going to fly out of her chest. She gasped, holding on to the wall for support.She tried to call out, but she couldn’t find her voice, and her eyes couldn’t focus. She took in deep breaths as she went to her room, holding her stomach. “Focus, Kia.” She muttered. “Left… right… left…” Before she could make it to her bed, her knees buckled beneath her. The sound of her fall was followed by the crashing sound of her flower vase and the desk it was on. Two servants came running up the stairs moments later and screamed. By the time

    Amanda didn't stop walking around right away. "Maybe I'm just being paranoid.” Amanda muttered, shaking her head. It couldn't have been. She adjusted her bag higher onto her shoulder and casually checked the glass reflection of a nearby boutique window. There. The guy was still behind her, following her. "Not today." She sighed, speeding up. She cut across a row of shops, past the escalators, then down the ramp that led to the parking lot. Her legs were starting to ache but she wasn't going to stop. Right in front of the road, something fell from the top of the lot! A heavy trash bin that landed with a metallic crash, blocking the exit. Amanda took a few steps back, gasping, her heart racing. "What the hell?" She gasped, holding her chest and looking around in fear. "Is someone trying to kill me now?" She ran to the side of the road, her heart racing, hands shaking. But before she could take a proper breath, she saw him again. The hooded figure. The person was now st

    Amanda adjusted her sunglasses as she walked into the mall. She didn't come here to shop for anything in particular. It had been a rough month for her and she just needed to breathe for a bit. She hated being indoors too long these days, hated the silence, hated the thoughts that came with it. All she could think of was her child who was born silenced, and what her mother's dying words... her dying thoughts, could have been. She wondered if Sera thought of her as she took her last breath. All of it, it was too much to handle. She walked past the food section, ignoring the inviting aroma. Nothing tasted the same anymore. Luther had offered to come with her, but she told him to stay the fuck away unless he wanted to be slapped into a coma. She needed to be alone. She moved past store windows until she heard a familiar voice. It was loud, and she sounded irritated, to say in the least. "I said no mayonnaise! Are you people deaf?" The woman yelled at a stunned-looking mall food w

  • CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY NINE

    Kia sat at her dressing table brushing her hair slowly. The room smelled of roses and lavender, and soft music played from a cute little speaker she had found in a nice shop a few days back. She looked peaceful, though her body still ached sometimes, and not to mention, she had found herself buying cute little things impulsively. Her eyes went to her stomach and she smiled softly as she touched it tenderly. “You like cute little things, don’t you, sweetie?” Suddenly, there was a knock on her door. She froze. Devin never had a reason to knock, who could that be. “Come in.” She said gently. “Take off your shoes if you’re wearing any.” The door opened and Viktor entered inside, holding a small blue vial in his hand. His gave her a charming smile as he got in. “You look well.” He said, shutting the door behind him. Kia looked at him in the mirror. “Really? Are you trying to flatter me or are you just stating the obvious?” She asked, smirking. “A little of both.” He he

    The rooftop was cold and quiet, far high above the lives of the people in the city below. The wind blew fiercely across the building, flapping Devin’s coat as he stood at the edge, his eyes locked on to the helipad where Klaus was expected to arrive. He had set the bait exactly as Viktor had suggested. A forged note from him that Devin had been caught off guard by him, and he was now injured, alone, and surrounded by nothing, not even his own men. It didn’t take much to make Klaus greedy. Devin wondered where he got that trait from. Definitely not from the side of the family that they shared. Devin’s eyes narrowed as the helicopter blades in the distance whirred to life. Good, it was showtime. Moments later, Klaus went onto the rooftop like a villain from a comic book, dressed in all black, with fiery energy already burning at his fingertips. He was proud and felt ready to take it all. This was his moment. “Well, well, well, cousin.” Klaus sneered, seeing Devin stand at the
