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!

“Did they think they could catch us off guard with that half assed attempt of theirs? What the hell were they thinking?” Catherine sneered.She was angry as she paced around the conference room for a moment, her eyes wandering around, her blood boiling so hot that despite the cold, the conference room soon started feeling hot.Catherine had ordered the arrest of Lila and Rebecca Benson, Kai had warned her that they were going to try to do something stupid and true to his prediction they did.They wanted to claw their way into her life and by doing that, taking her and Kai down as if that was going to be easy, but while she and Kai were busy dealing with a rotten company, she found out that Nora Benson was trying to rescue her sisters?And not just that, they had caused a whole building to go up in flames, there were casualties and there would have been death if Teresa hadn’t used her powers.“You know? I was feeling sad for them, I was having a little pity on them because I thought th

Before Nora could say another word, the call dropped and she was left staring into the darkness of her room, her heart racing, a mixture of fear and anger consuming her.Kai knew about the plan, has he really premeditated it? Did he really know that she was going to try to save her sister or was this just a bet on luck that he took and happened to win.Nora’s anger was so smoldering that the room felt like its walls were closing up on her. Her teeth gritted so hard that if she hadn’t stopped, she could have lost her teeth.“How dare he?” She growled, finally letting herself speak as she pulled off her hair bonnet and ran her fingers through her hair.“How dare that filthy bastard think he can talk to me like he just did?” She asked no one in particular, her anger reaching the point that she couldn’t stop laughing.Her vision turned red, and she could taste blood right on the tip of her tongue, her heart lurched and her stomach tightened with disgust as she stared into space.“How dare

Nora swallowed, her throat bobbing as she tried to look beyond the mirror to see what was happening but her sister was gone, Rebecca had been dragged away.The plan was supposed to be flawless, she was supposed to be going back to her house with her two sisters and not just one of them.“NO! No! I can’t just leave her. I need to go after her! You need to go after her!” Nora screamed at the top of her lungs, the whole moment was chaotic.“Bitch what are you—”“I WILL CALL YOUR BOSS AND TELL HIM YOU BOTCHED THE JOB!” Nora screamed at the top of her lungs before the masked man could say what he thought of saying.Her eyes were wide, she had watched people get reeled into ambulances all for what? Just one of her sisters when she could have gotten the two of them?There was no way she was going to agree to that after being an accomplice to something as cruel as blowing up an entire building.“Okay, I tried to do this the nice way but if you don’t get your ass up and follow me while my frie

“Ah! I can’t believe I have to play informant for the same people that I wanted to wreck,” Jake smiled as he looked through his binoculars, watching everything play out right in front of him.A wicked smirk tugged at the side of his lips and he gave in to it quicker than anyone could ever imagine as he reached into the bag of chips that was sitting beside him.“I’m sorry, Nora, I genuinely cannot sit back and watch you succeed with your stupid plan, that would be bad for me.” He muttered as he crunched on the chips.He couldn’t sit back, just like Nora was in contact with the person helping her from behind the scenes on the phone, he too, hadn't seen the man he was talking to.HOURS AGO.“She just left the house, I was lucky enough to have eavesdropped and found out that they are planning to rescue her sisters.” Jake said into the phone as soon as Nora stepped out.He was standing by the window and had waited for her to drive off before calling that number.He had been spying on his s

“You’re to wait at the address….” Nora sighed as she stared down at her phone, the brightness burning her eyes as she got out of her car and made her way to the place the stranger had asked her to wait.The night burned before it even began and while she stood, while she was glad and happy that she was finally going to be seeing her sisters, Nora couldn’t help but fidget.Questions ran through her mind as she waited for the signal, her heart was racing and nothing she tried could’ve stopped it from racing.Should she have told Jake about the plan? Should she have asked him to come with her for some sort of emotional support at least?“Pull yourself together, Nora!” She clapped her cheeks as she took another step forward, finally stopping where the stranger had specifically asked her to, her fingers trembling around the straps of her jacket.She could hear almost everything happening in the city, it was as though she could hear it breathing, the occasional bark of a dog, footsteps scut

Nora didn’t say anything at first even though she knew, she was a hundred percent sure that she could trust Jake but what she wasn’t sure about was if she wanted to spill everything to him right now. She wanted to wait until success was guaranteed or at least, until she had gotten her sisters out of the cell before she could bring all three of her siblings in on the plan. “Not yet,” she answered honestly, her eyes not leaving the TV and even Jake didn’t push further as he waited for her to take her time and tell him everything. He knew that pushing or forcing her to tell him everything could cause Nora to pull back from him and that was the last thing he wanted. He needed to get as much information on her and her helper, he needed everything he could get his hands on. “He said he prefers being in the shadows and I know what you’re going to say.” Nora sighed and Jake raised an eyebrow as he turned his head, finally looking away from the TV to look at his sister. “Really?
