Gina was boiling, anger shone in her eyes and her hatred for Kai showed in every other part of her body but Kai only remained calm as he stared at her.

Though they were nominally engaged, this was really just a marriage arrangement between the Benson and Murphy families.

But ever since Jake had returned to the Benson family, Gina had grown close to Jake, deceived by his hypocrisy, and frequently criticized Kai.

Before Jake’s arrival, she had always shown great affection for Kai and Kai on the other hand had once hoped to change her but he changed his mind after seeing that she was beyond redemption.

“Did you really steal from the Benson family and beat Jake, who hasn’t done anything to you by the way, up?” She sneered as she asked.

Kai didn’t need to say anything because he knew that Gina wouldn’t believe anything that came out of his mouth as she would always believe Jake over him.

“Did Jake tell you that himself?” Kai responded to her question with one of his own and Gina only glared at him, her eyes throwing daggers at Kai.

He didn’t want to argue with her at all, he had an air of indifference around him and there weren’t any signs of amusement in his eyes as he stared at Gina.

He only wished that she would just disappear from his sight but he knew how far-fetched that was considering the fact that she worked here.

To Gina, Kai was being nothing but a nuisance, constantly letting his jealousy for Jake take over and control him but Kai didn’t care about what she thought of him.

“Of course, Jake told me.” Gina finally answered Kai’s question and Kai scoffed. Jake had been feeding not just the Benson family but also Gina lies and there was nothing much he could do about it.

Putting his hands in his pockets, his calm demeanor seemed to anger Gina so much that her stomach churned just being in front of him.

She wanted him to disappear, she wanted to throw him out of the lobby or even the company in general but she had questions that she wanted him to answer.

“What the hell is going on with you?” She asked and Kai raised an eyebrow in confusion, “why are you letting such ugly and vile feelings fester into you?” She added.

“Why are you being so petty and jealous of Jake ever since his return?” She demanded and Kai couldn’t believe his ears but he remained silent.

“You do horrible things to him and yet he has never for once retaliated,” she went on, “Jake was always speaking so highly of you whenever we were together, why are you trying so hard to bring him down?” She added.

Kai only sighed, running his fingers through his hair as he pinched the bridge of his nose and let out an even heavier sigh.

He wanted to get away from Gina’s yapping but he had to wait for Catherine since he doesn’t really know his way around the building.

“Why can’t you learn how to be kind and excellent from Jake, why can’t you learn how to be selfless and respectful from him, huh?” She added.

“In the past, you only seemed to be petty and unable to accept that I was being so close to Jake, but now, you’ve made a name for yourself as a thief and a bandit!” Gina spat and Kai only sneered.

He was still keeping his cool and remaining silent while Gina continued saying condescending and horrible things to him.

He was disappointed in her, utterly disappointed because he realized that it wasn’t him Gina loved, but rather the heir of the Benson family—Jake, the biological son.

“Are you only willing to believe every single thing Jake tells you and not what I say?” He asked, his voice was cold and totally void of emotion.

He raised an eyebrow as he waited for an answer, he was almost willing to give her a second chance but she bursted out laughing sarcastically.

“Did you just ask me that?” Gina retorted as she mocked Kai, “of course I’m going to believe everything Jake says without doubting him for a moment.” She answered firmly.

“Jake is such a kind and sincere person, while you are nothing but a petty, little liar!” She spat, her fist clenching as she glared at him.

“I can’t believe you,” she continued, “how obsessed do you have to be that you even secretly followed me to Rainbow corporation just to cause trouble.” She snarled.

“SECURITY! I WANT YOU TO THROW THIS NUISANCE OUT!” She yelled before Kai could say anything and the security guards soon started rushing closer.

Kai remained calm even as the men stood behind him, he was being humiliated but since he knew that they wouldn’t be able to do anything to him soon, he only smiled.

“Let me make sure I’m getting things right,” he smiled as he looked into Gina’s eyes, reading her facial expression and intimidating her with his presence.

“Does this mean that you’re breaking up with me, you’re breaking off our engagement and don’t want anything to do with me anymore?” He asked and Gina laughed.

She thought that the question was ridiculous because it was clear what she was trying to do, she doesn’t want Kai, Jake is the one she wants so why is he asking her ridiculous questions?

“We should’ve broken up and broken off this relationship long since Jake returned,” she answered firmly, her mind made up.

“Because I only intended to marry the true heir of the Benson family, not you, a mere imposter.” She mocked, laughing at Kai and taking a step away from him.

The security guards were ready to carry out Gina’s orders because they knew her and knew nothing about Kai and to them, Kai was an intruder.

“Sir, you have to leave right now or we would be forced to use force on you and that would be humiliating.” One of the men said and the other joined in.

“We’re going to have to throw you out of here.” The other said and just at that moment, a cold voice rang out, resonating through the air.

“LET’S SEE WHO DARES!” The voice yelled coldly and everyone turned in the direction of the voice to see that it was the company’s CEO, Catherine!

    “I had no idea that much time had passed.” Kai said to himself as he got to his room, he had left before Catherine even woke up, and he hated himself because he knew that she must have been worried about him.Taking a deep breath, he opened the door and stepped into the room with an apology in his mind. He was going to apologize to her and he hoped that she would accept his apology.He had gotten so engrossed in the fight that he didn’t realize just how much time had passed, and if Teresa hadn’t stepped in, there was a big chance that he would have delayed all of them.Before leaving the bed this morning, he had made a promise to himself not to worry them or even cause them any slight inconvenience but he had been really wrong.When he stepped into the room, Kai felt as though the air had been completely knocked out of his lungs as he stared at the gorgeous woman that stood in front of me.“Oh… my… god.” He had breathed as he took in the image of her, relief washing over him. He was g

    Lorenzo and Atticus could only watch as the fight between Zarus and Kai grew even more intense, the floor looked as though it was going to cave in, but it didn’t, and both Kai and Zarus looked like they were having fun.“Wow. You really are a completely different person if you’re fighting with some enthusiasm.” Kai said amidst the clanging of swords that had suddenly appeared in both their hands.Zarus didn’t say anything as he charged at Kai, who side stepped and tried to knock the sword right out of Zarus’ hands, but Zarus was quicker and he had Kai on the floor with his chest pressed to the ground.“And you don’t look like you’ve gotten any stronger.” Zarus said, and while Kai was breathing heavily, Zarus’ heart rate was normal, earning a scowl from Lorenzo.Zarus extended his hand towards Kai who took it as Zarus pulled him up. There was a little part of him that felt frustrated, the part that grew stronger because of the people that he wanted to defeat.But, during the course of

    “How long do we have until we start getting ready?” Catherine asked Teresa who checked the time on the tablet she had with her.This morning when Catherine had woken up, she had been Kai, and that as she was about to step out to look for him, Teresa was already at the door and she was about to knock when Catherine opened it.“There is still time for the boys, but I don’t think we have much time like that.” Teresa responded, and when Catherine raised an eyebrow, she responded more precisely. “Four more hours.”Catherine sighed, she felt her stomach rumble and the urge to barf was suddenly so overwhelming that she had to race to the bathroom to let it all out, Teresa following right behind her.Teresa helped hold her hair up, and when Catherine was done, they both walked back to the bedroom. “Are you sure you’ll be okay to go for this?” She asked, and Catherine nodded.“I’m fine,” Catherine said with a smile, today was the day that she would eventually tell Kai that she was pregnant and

    Lorenzo snarled at Zarus, who then pretended he couldn’t see that Lorenzo was angry as he continued talking. “So, while I’m here to help, I wouldn’t bank on my help if I were you.” Zarus added.”Well, unless for all of your big talks and the stupid show-offs, you’re nothing but weak pricks.” He added, and Kai sighed again, tired of how things were going.“Zarus—”“You know, I really wouldn’t interfere because trust me, I don’t care for strategic meetings or whatever.” Shadow cut in before Kai could finish talking. “But you’ve been nothing but disrespectful since you showed up at our door.” He scoffed.“And seeing as you would have nowhere else to go because, I’m guessing, if you don’t complete the mission your master entrusted you with then he wouldn’t let you go back home.” Shadow continued and everywhere fell silent.Shadow never really talked, and even though he was starting to contribute in meetings, this was still the most he had said to a stranger in one day considering the fact

    “Can you guys stop coming up with a word for everything?” Catherine, who was already almost at her limit, blurted out as she looked from Kai to Zarus, and then back at Kai.“What is she talking about?” Zarus asked, pointing at Catherine while keeping his gaze on Kai. “She doesn’t know something’s gonna happen tomorrow, at your oh so big event?” He asked and Kai sighed.“Of course I know something is going to happen, I got the sign a while ago, probably before you even know and—” Zarus’ scoff caused her to stop talking as she took in a few breaths.This stranger had barely been around for five minutes and he was already getting on her last nerve, Catherine clenched and unclenched her fist as she tried to keep calm.If she could, she would have given Lorenzo the order he was waiting for; kill the prick, but after hearing a few things about who Zarus was, she knew that the man probably couldn’t die, but she wanted to get rid of him.Also, after watching Atticus and Fabio with him, she wa

    The maid stepped aside as soon as Kai got to the door, and Kai could see Zarus’ irritation evident in the way he glared at him, but Kai was most excited to see him. He didn’t think that he was actually going to come, when he’d heard Zane say that he, Zane, needed Zarus to be in the human world, Kai had wanted to ask if Zarus was going to come with him, but when he woke up without Zarus, he’d thought that Zane had meant after the charity auction. “What are you doing here?” Kai asked, the question directed at Zarus before he turned to the maid. “Thank you, you can go do other things, I’ll take care of this.” He said to the maid. Without any other word or any hesitation at all, the maid bowed her head lightly and left Kai alone with Zarus who looked like he needed really long hours of sleep. “The air here is so fucking impure, I felt like I was going to barf just trying to make my fucking way to this place, and this world smells like shit too.” Zarus grunted as Kai ushered him in.
