EDIT: I WAS AT THE HOSPITAL YESTERDAY AND THERE WAS A MIX UP IN UPDATES. I AM SORRY.________Seeing Kai, especially so easily, wasn't on the list of things that Jake thought was going to happen to him today. He hadn’t said anything because he didn’t want a fight to break out.He needed to keep a cool head, and since Nora’s breakout at the house weeks ago, she’d been acting strange some days, while on other days, she acted like she was fine.Jake knew that something was going on, he’d even try to get her to talk about where she had gone to, but each time he brought it up, she was always going out of her way to not answer.Lila, on the other hand, had decided that she was going to look after her sister even though she wasn’t happy about it. She hated babysitting but part of her was starting to feel guilty.“Jake?” Gina called but Jake seemed too lost in thoughts to even hear his name roll off her tongue. He had forced himself to come out today because Gina had practically forced him.H

OCTAVIA ADLER. “What about him?” Brittney asked as she pulled up another picture of a guy that any girl would consider hot. He was fully clothed, but his abs were visible because he had the tip of his shirt between his teeth. I scrunched up my nose, it’s no doubt that these men are hot but hot as they may be, they didn’t hold a candle next to Aidan Nightingale. He had that manly charm about him even without trying so hard, he’s the type to smile and have the entire room all on their heads because that’s how bright his smile lights up the room. Thinking about him now, I couldn’t help but notice just how much I missed him. If Brittney wasn’t in the room with me, I would be staring at his pictures while giggling and kicking my feet like a teenager who had just discovered love for the first time. I smiled, his gentleness still lingered, the way he had touched me, kissed me, and cared for me. If I hadn’t fallen asleep, I knew damn well that he would’ve been here with me right now. “I

“You can’t tease me like that.” Catherine whined as she stepped out of the elevator with him. They walked side by side, the executive floor wasn’t as filled as the other floors as the staff members were only those eligible to be around the CEO.There was also an intern there, and then that was it. Everyone in their space all stood to their feet as soon as they saw Catherine and Kai, their breaths held and their heads bowed.Kai couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable about it, he wanted to address them but he knew that they weren’t going to easily drop that behavior.Sighing, he walked with his head held high until they both disappeared into the CEO’s office. Despite the fact that he’d been absent for almost two weeks, the office still looked properly kept.The documents had been divided into ones that needed signing, approval, reviews, etc. Kai sighed, he couldn’t wait to get to work and with a grin, he adjusted his necktie and made his way to the ergonomic chair.As soon as he sunk int

“Don’t you have work to do?” Teresa’s voice jolted Kai out of the thought he didn’t know he was lost in, and sighing, he looked beside him to see Catherine beaming at him.“Goodluck.” Fabio said and Kai nodded. Watching the whole gang start to prepare for the charity fair healed something in him, and he gave in to the small smile that tugged at the side of his mouth.Together, he and Catherine left. Outside, the chauffeur was already waiting and not long after, they were in the car, and on their way to Rainbow Corporation.“So, what are the things I’m supposed to do today aside from the heaps of paperwork that I know would most definitely be waiting for us by now?” Kai asked.Catherine smiled, she’d been doing everything she could to help him out but they’ve been gone for a while and there are lots of projects that need his signature.She had also made sure that she cleared his schedule, any meeting with the other companies under the Grant’s family control had been put on hold for now

“If you weren’t so stubborn, I would have asked you to stay back for another week but that’s just me being selfish.” Fabio sighed, he was sitting on his usual upholstery in the living room.Kai hadn’t expected that everyone would be gathered, he hadn’t even expected that they were going to make a big deal out of him going to work.He looked around to see everyone but Lorenzo beaming at him, and once again, he didn’t know how to thank the universe for helping him with this amazing family that found him.“Grandpa,” he drawled as he crouched in front of his grandfather who was drinking in the sight of his grandson, glad to see just how much he had grown and how responsible he’d become.Fabio hated it but there was a part of him that thanked the Bensons for maltreating him, he hadn’t forgotten about the ways he was going to punish them for it, but them maltreating him had made him grow up as a real human.He didn’t need to be told, he had seen how much his grandson empathizes with others,

ONE WEEK LATER.“Are you sure you’re okay to return to the office?” Catherine asked as she and Kai got ready.Working with Kai was one of the highlights of her working period ever since Kai came back but she couldn’t bring herself to stop thinking about the exchange between Kai and Fabio the week before.“Catherine,” Kai called as he held his tie out and handed it to her so that she can help him. Not because he didn’t know how to knot a tie, but because he wanted to savor the closeness.He wanted to breathe everything in because he knew that being off work for so long would mean he had tons of paperwork to deal with and that might give him little to no time to talk to Catherine.“I’ve been ready to return since that day I brought it up at the dinner table but grandpa is so stubborn, he insisted I waited till now.” He sighed, and Catherine laughed.“Fabio really is stubborn when it comes to getting what he wants,” she responded as she helped him with his tie. “Reminds me of a certain s
