“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

    Kai pulled into the Grant’s estate driveway, and he could immediately tell that something was waiting for him, he couldn’t wait to find out what. But, Catherine still hasn’t spoken to him.She doesn’t look mad, or maybe she was mad, but not just at him, and Kai had thought that she was going to say something about Gina before they got home, but she hadn’t said anything, and he was worried.“Are you okay?” He asked her, pulling Catherine out of his thoughts as she looked at him and nodded affirmatively. “You don’t look like it. Are you mad at me? Is it because of what happened at the hospital?” He asked.Catherine eventually looked at him—really looked at him, her eyes searched his as if she was expecting to see something in them, but with regard to the Benson family, Kai’s eyes were empty.It was as though he couldn’t care less about them, and it scared her because he had once told her about how he intended to take revenge, she also recalled him saying if he had to lose himself to hav

    Gina was stunned, her cheeks burning so hot that she was completely speechless. Kai only smiled, he couldn’t hide the pride he felt when he saw how fierce Catherine was.He wasn’t surprised, but anytime she showed him that she could not only take care of herself, but she could also handle some situations, he can’t help but beam with pride at the sight.His insides churned and burned, but not in the way that made him wince in pain like he usually did when he was still in the Benson family’s house. This one was different, it was a feeling that he never wanted to get rid of.“Let’s go, babe.” Catherine’s voice jolted him out of his thoughts, and it wasn’t until then that he realized just how much he was beaming, how hard he was smiling.He nodded at Catherine and held the door open for her so that she could climb in, and when she did, he closed the door as carefully as he could before turning back around.“Oh Gina,” he muttered as he crouched in front of her. Gina’s eyes dilated with the

    “Everything is perfect, and there’s no cause for alarm.” The doctor said after the test results came out, Kai went through everyone as though he understood medical terms.He had learnt to be able to not only read doctor’s handwriting, but to also be able to tell the results by going through them because of how sickly he and Nora were when they were growing up.He’d learnt to be able to tell if Nora’s condition needed immediate attention, and right now, he knew that the only attention she needed was one they could no longer afford.Kai knew how carefully Catherine had been watching him, but he still didn’t tell her that whatever had come to attack the house had done that in Nora’s body.He hadn’t expected that Nora’s condition would be that bad, but she called it upon herself when she allied with an entity she knew absolutely nothing about.“Kai?” Catherine’s voice jolted him out of his thoughts, but he didn’t act as though he’d been lost in thought as he only calmly turned to face her

    “We’ve kept you here for well over a month, and trust me, even if Kai allows it, I’m not letting you go unless I know what I need to know.” Atticus said as he pulled a chair out and sat on it, facing Rebecca.Rebecca‘s gaze lifted as she looked him in the eye, but only for a second. She hated that she was here, she hated the fact that she didn’t know what time it was, she hated the fact that Kai was powerful enough to keep her like this.If this man says it’s been over a month since she’s been here, does that mean that her deadline was over and the mysterious family already killed her family.The thought of it made her stomach twist, her chest tightened and even though she didn’t want to feel so bad about it, she couldn’t help it.Nora had always hated, but Nora had tried to break her out of that prison, her luck was just too rotten and so she had fallen behind.“If you’re thinking about your family, well, I know you already know what has happened to them.” Atticus said, his voice so

    Kai looked behind him because he knew that it wasn’t him that Jake had dared to call ‘brother’ but he didn’t say Abi thing as he just smirked and pulled Catherine even closer into him.It was a reflex act, he knew that she didn’t need any help or protection, but he couldn’t help it. “Hi, Jake. I almost didn’t see you there.” He said, the taunt evident in his voice.Kai could see the anger in Jake’s eyes, and when he saw that Jake didn’t react violently, he knew for sure that Jake was still putting up with his good brother act afterall.He couldn’t help but wonder how long Jake can go without breaking character, but he knew now that Jake would go as long as he needed as long as he got whatever he wanted out of it.Kai shook his head, he had done some digging and even though Lorenzo and Shadow are yet to find out the person Jake is really working for, Kai knew that Jake, as usual, was up to no good.“You, bas—” Jake stopped himself before he could call Kai a bastard. He needed to keep u

    “”WHAT?!” Jake yelled before he realized that they were in a hospital and he needed to keep his voice low, but even then it was still difficult for him to maintain his low voice.“Thirty thousand dollars? That’s a lot more than I expected.” Jake said, his composure slipping through his fingers even though he was trying to keep a level head.“What did she do? Fight a dinosaur? Even then, we wouldn’t spend this ridiculous amount of money!” Jake was losing it, his mind was reeling and he could barely keep his inside thoughts inside.He knew that he probably shouldn’t be saying things like that, he shouldn’t be letting himself get out of control like that, but he couldn’t help it.The doctor that was standing in front of him looked frightened because she had no idea how close he was to hitting her, although she’d made up her mind that he wouldn’t get away with it if he ever tried that.“Mr Benson—”“Is this some sort of scheme?” Jake questioned before the doctor could even say anything. “
