“So, did you tell him what it might be yet? I mean, I know Kai is a good person and if this is what we think it is, then there’s no doubt that he would be the best.” Teresa said.Teresa and Catherine were in Teresa’s room, they had a bowl of ice cream between them, and while they were deep into the conversation, Catherine’s mind wandered off as she thought about it over and over.Catherine knew that Teresa was right, and in fact, she had also thought about it. She didn’t want to put Kai in the dark, not when he had looked so worried about her.He was always worried about her, and he was always putting her first even before him or the world. She knew that he would be great at it, she was also sure that he wouldn’t think twice before accepting responsibility.But, she couldn’t help but think if she really wanted to do this to him. The world is in disarray, and she’d gotten a really confusing vision that had her preparing her mind for something.She knew that Kai must have gotten the sam

Time sped up so fast as they all enjoyed their company, Kai was conflicted, he contemplated telling the guys about what had happened with Catherine, and what he saw last night, but at the same time he didn’t want to ruin the atmosphere.“Kai?” Lorenzo called when he noticed just how deep in thought that Kai had gotten. They’d also come to the conclusion that they were going to tell him though they didn’t yet know how to effectively tackle the situation.The irregulars are an awful bunch of creatures, and they would go as far as ruining a different country just so that they could throw Kai off, so they must have a meeting and discuss how they’d handle the situation.“Are you okay?” Lorenzo asked, and Kai only sighed as he dropped the game pad, Shadow and Atticus were playing a different game, leaving Lorenzo and Kai with theirs.“I don’t know.” Kai responded as he felt the soul bond pulse again, he could tell that there was something strange going on, it was as though there was another

Catherine laid on the bed, her eyes closed. Her stomach churned for a moment, and she felt the sodden urge to barf again. At first she’d thought that she could just power through, but she couldn’t.As slowly and quietly as she could because she knew that Kai was definitely going to worry if he knew that she went to the bathroom to vomit again right after telling him that she was fine.“What the hell is going on?” She thought to herself as she bent over the basin and vomited again, now her stomach felt empty and she felt like she was going to pass out at any time.Her head felt light, her legs weak as she slowly walked back to the bed and laid on it. She wanted to message Teresa, and talk to her about it, but she knew how Teresa would blow things out of proportion.And with the charity fair just around the corner, the last thing Catherine wanted was for Kai to fuss and worry about her for something that could potentially be nothing.The door flew open, and she tried to sit up but her b

Kai and Catherine spent the entire day just having fun and enjoying each other’s company. Kai wouldn’t have it any other way, and Catherine was more than grateful for this moment with him.“I’m really glad we decided to do this.” Catherine said, her eyes closed as she rested against his chest, listening to the sound of his heartbeat as if it were a lullaby.“I know,” Kai responded, his hand resting on her stomach. The day had been so peaceful and playful that they didn’t even get the spare minute to think about anything other than them.The night plunged deeper into darkness, and the both of them didn’t want to fall asleep out of fear that it was all going to be over, but at the same time, they were both looking forward to a new day.The dimly-lit room echoed with the sound of pure silence and bliss that was also loud with worse that they didn’t need to say to each other. At a far distance, they could hear faint croaking and the chirping of birds that hadn’t quite called it a night ye

BACK AT THE GRANT ESTATE.“We can’t tell Kai about this, can we?” Atticus asked, and everyone was silent, neither of them were able to say anything as they stared at the paper in front of them.The silence was a little ominous, they could all feel the sense of foreboding, and it felt like whoever had sent that paper to the front of the Grant’s estate gate had been waiting for the perfect moment.There was a lot of time that they could have struck but for some reason, they had chosen now to send the letter and the day of the charity auction to strike.“Of course we can’t tell Kai,” Teresa responded finally, her voice bringing a halt to the silence as she crumpled the paper and dumped it in the trash with a sigh and a finger running through her hair.“But knowing Kai, there’s a high chance that he would find out even though we don’t say anything.” She sighed again, and even though she was trying to make sure that whatever was going to happen didn’t get to her, there’s no denying that it

“As long as I get to watch you enjoying yourself to your heart’s content, I’ll be alright.” He finished.Those words, as childish and little as they might seem, had hit her right in her chest. He was telling her that she could indulge as much as she wanted and he would always be there not to judge her, but to make sure she’s enjoying herself.“I was just kidding,” Catherine laughed, the butterflies in her stomach fluttering around. “If I ate that much, I’d weigh about 6 million pounds.” She laughed.Kai laughed too before his expression turned serious. “Then I’d have to train my arms and body so that I can lift you up anywhere.”Catherine was enjoying herself so much that she was starting to feel like she was doing something wrong. She laughed wholeheartedly, she was happy, and everything was going so well, until….“Oh, look who it is.” Catherine turned in the direction of the voice the moment she saw Kai’s happiness veered quickly to sadness and then anger. The switch was too quick.
