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!

    “Promise me you’ll be careful?” Kai said, holding Catherine by her waist as he pulled her so close to her that her boobs were pressed up against his chest. “And if Teresa ever tries to make you do something that’s not in the plan, or if something comes up, promise me you’re going to contact me immediately.” He added, he wasn’t all that worried. He trusted her, that much was clear, but he also wouldn’t be far off from her due to the side mission that he came up with, but he still wanted her to promise her that she would do everything in her power to be safe. The last thing he wanted was to have something happen to her, and she was in such a delicate situation that if he had his way, he would have preferred her staying at home. He’d heard a lot of things happening to women during their pregnancy stage, and he wanted to take good care of Catherine, he wanted to pamper her and make sure she had everything she needed, but she had insisted. And part of the reason he had agreed to

    “It’s so fucking cold here, how did we even get to this place.” Athena said, her eyes were red, puffy and her mascara smudged from crying so hard. Her best friend, Dahlia, who wasn’t really in a good condition herself held her close. Both girls had suddenly found themselves in a secluded area. The last thing they remembered before being transported into a deserted, extremely cold island was having a sleepover. They had talked about their boyfriends and had even masturbated together before falling asleep only to open their eyes in an extremely creepy, cold desert. “I don’t know,” Dahlia shivered as they both tried to find their way out of the island they were trapped in, “I just can’t wait to—” the rest of her words got stuck in her throat and her eyes widened in fear. Dahlia was also paralyzed by fear, her legs could barely move and it was almost like they’d both been impaled to the spot, their minds a crazy mixture of fear and hope that they were going to make it out of here.

    THE WOODS.Nora’s breaths came in ragged gasps, when she eventually came to, she was lying on the bench and she didn’t need a soothsayer to tell her how far she’d wandered, but she doesn’t actually remember when she did the wandering.“What am I doing here?” She asked herself, the pain that shot through her being was more than enough to let her know that all of these were real and she wasn’t dreaming.Her ankles hurt so much that she knew she wouldn’t be able to work properly. When she saw her right arm, a loud scream emanated from her throat.Her arm was completely dislocated from her shoulder, it dangled right beside her and she had no control over that part of her body.Her heart raced so hard that it felt like it was about to jump out of her chest, and so loud that she could hear the pumping over the sound of the crows.“What’s this? What’s going on?” The pain was so unreadable that even her eyes struggled to stay open. She tried to get out of the bench, but she couldn’t move any

    Catherine trusted him, and she believed that he would handle whatever evil was about to befall them, but that was it. She didn’t want to place the burden on just Kai alone.She wanted to help him out in any way that she could, but she had a feeling that with everything that’s been going on with her, Kai might refuse her help.After thinking about it for a while, she decided to be the one to bring it up. “You know….” Her voice trained off as she smiled up at him and drew an imaginary line on his chest.“What?” Kai asked with a raised brow, he was keen on hearing what she wanted to say, and if it had something to do with her joining the mission or other things that could put her in harm’s way, he would try to shut it down.He didn’t want to hurt or break her heart, but he also didn’t want her to be in danger, and with him letting that person that had possessed Nora’s body go, he needed to keep a close watch on Catherine.“Teresa’s herbs, it worked, I just thought I was going to tell you

    OCTAVIA ADLER. “Okay, are you all set?” Aidan asked even though it was glaring that I was all set. I was wearing a really flowery sundress, I had my sunglasses although I didn’t know if I was going to need it or not. I took it anyway. Aidan had told me to wear something I felt comfortable in, and those, including a sandal that he had put on for me were my choice. I had a small handbag, but I knew by now that I wouldn’t be carrying it, seeing as Aidan already had it with him. “You look breathtaking, I don’t know if I can ever stop staring at you.” He said, pulling me into him so hard that I crashed into his chest, and before I knew what was going on, his mouth was on mine. I’d lost count of how many times he had complimented me, lost count of how many times and in how many words he had told me that I looked beautiful. “Stop.” I whined, even though I liked it, and quite frankly, I didn’t want him to stop. “Why should I?” Aidan asked, planting a small kiss on my nose. “I’m te
