Jake stood to his feet and cleaned the blood off his lips as he watched Kai walk out of the house and like a microwave ding, something rang in Jake’s head, giving him an idea.

“I bet I can make it work.” Jake said to himself as he scattered all the rooms, messing every single place up as he ransacked them for valuables.

Laughing maniacally to himself, he retrieved even more valuable items than Nora’s gold bracelet as different kinds of thoughts kept entering his head.

He was going to sell everything he was able to take from the rooms just like he had done with Nora’s bracelet.

The thought caused him to think of himself as a genius as he went on with his evil plan. He was drowning in massive gambling debts, and if he couldn’t repay them, he knew he would be in deep trouble.

He also couldn’t let Nora know about it because then she would know that he isn’t as good as he’s making himself out to be.

Looking at the mirror, he was satisfied to see the wound that Kai had inflicted on hi

    When they finally drove to the house, Kai was in the living room, waiting for her to show up while the rest of the men had retired to their rooms.The meeting hadn’t been demanding, but they needed to get ready for some final touches before the auction next tomorrow.“Finally, you’re back.” Kai said happily when he saw Catherine walk into the living room. Immediately stood to his feet, and gathered her into his arms, kissing her forehead.“Where did you both go?” He asked, still hugging Catherine, but looking at Teresa who had walked into and shrugged at the question.“Can’t we girls have a hangout for once? You boys do it all the time, and no one asks what you are up to when you’re all in Shadow’s room. For all we know you could be sucking each other’s cock.” She retorted.A look of irritation immediately settled on Kai’s face as he looked like he was going to pass out. “Eww.” He grunted, causing Catherine to laugh so hard that her ribs hurt.“There is no way that is what we’re doing

    “You know we could have had the test done at home?” Catherine asked Teresa, who seemed even more excited than her, to have the test done. “I’m not that ancient,” Teresa retorted, “of course I know that we could have taken the test at home, but most of those strips are usually not accurate.” She added as they both walked into the hospital room. Teresa had already booked an appointment with a personal doctor, since they were practically family, she had thought that they should use the Grant family doctor. Catherine had doubts because she wasn’t sure if the doctor was going to be able to keep the secret until she was ready to talk about it with the rest of the gang, but Teresa had assured her that the doctor was highly professional, and anything she didn’t want said wouldn’t be said. “I’ve never actually seen a pregnancy test strip that’s inaccurate before.” Catherine teased, and Teresa, who knew what she was doing, decided that she was going to ignore her. They both walked into the

    Catherine couldn’t help the smile as she stared at Teresa, she knew that Teresa was right. Catherine knew that she wasn’t alone, and she would never be alone, and she also knew that if she did the test, and the result was what they were thinking, she was sure that she wouldn’t go through the journey alone.Silence settled between them, it was the kind that didn’t need them to speak. Catherine’s cravings kicked in again, and she quickly grabbed her spoon.“We have to eat this ice cream before it melts.” She said happily, she was at ease now even though she knew that she would have to talk to Kai about it.“Which do you think is scarier?” Teresa laughed as she joined Catherine to eat the ice cream. “The ice cream melting or Ryan finding out that we ate his ice cream?”Catherine laughed as she looked like she was thinking about it for a moment, trying to gauge her response. She knew that Ryan, Shadow, wouldn’t mind if he knew that they ate it, but she wouldn’t put it past him to freak ou

    “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
