He dropped a letter on the table before her. She glared at it like though it was a potential weapon set against her. Her throat bobbed, “Sir, What is this?" She asked with confusion darting in her eyes.

“Take a look…" Javier gestured, turned away from her and walked to the window.

With shaky hands, she picked up the letter. She opened it up with mixed emotions. Her heart was racing. Her eyes did a quick scan of what was written in the letter.

It was a sack letter. Her heart beat dropped.

    She snapped her head in the direction of the voice and it was Jerome. He glared at her with fiery burning in his eyes. He held her chin and pressed tightly till her teeth clattered against each other. “The hide and seek is over. Time for business girlie," He chuckled dubiously. His eyes glowed mischievously. “Now get up," He squeezed tightly. Kensington winced and rose to her feet. There were four other men with him. He gestured to open the door. He pushed her roughly into the car and walked around the car. He opened the other side of the car and got in. The driver started the engine and rode out of the beach. Kensington sat in the car wearing just the bikini. Her heart raced. Her hands began to tremble. She mumbled silent prayers, praying for Alejandro to come find her. “Where are you taking me to?" She asked with a shaky voice. She looked up to him. He offered her a smirk that made shivers run down her spine. “It's a big surprise, my love," He caressed her chin. She hit his

    “Yes, I can." She found it. It glowed radiantly like the moon. It was reassuring and strong, something she could hold on to. “Thank you, Alejandro." He claimed her lips and kissed her right there. Kensington lost her senses. All she could feel around her was his presence, his touch and scent. He held her like a delicate material. He was careful as he held the back of her neck while reveling the taste of her lips. It tasted like strawberry. He couldn't get enough of her lips. He wanted more but he had to stop himself. " I can't get enough of you, Kenzie.” She smiled at him. He mirrored her smile. He carried her in his arms and led her to his car. He placed her in his car. Scouted around the car and drove her back to her home. As soon as she got home, her phone began to ring. She bade Alejandro goodbye and entered the house. It was a call from Sander. "Kenzie, Where are you?” She sounded distressed. "Sander, Is everything okay?” "Where are you?” She persisted worriedl

    Alejandro wasn't expecting the question. His lips hung apart. He can't tell how having a mother felt. He lost touch with that feeling when his mother began to live recklessly. When it was just him, his mother and grandfather, he loved it. It felt like family. After his grandfather's death, his mother became reckless. She took over the family's business and began to live carelessly. Alejandro was influenced by her lifestyle. He followed her step but soon began to realize that life wasn't rewarding and soon he quitted."It's wonderful. Mothers are a safe haven," He explained without noticing the tiny tears dripping down her eyes.“I didn't feel that. I never had a safe haven." Alejandro was touched. His heart melted with pity and love.“I am your safe haven," Alejandro stretched his hands to her.“You are safe with me, Kenzie," He kissed the back of her hands. She felt flutters and chuckled, more tears poured down her eyes, “Thank you. For choosing me even in my worst." Aleja

    “I love him, Laura. So stop speaking ill of him,”Kensington warned. "Excuse me,” She turned to her room. She slammed the door shut and sat on the bed fuming with anger. **** Alejandro was surprised to meet his uncle in his house. "Why are you here?” Alejandro stripped off his jacket, he flung it on the couch and entered the kitchen. "Why weren't you at work?” Javier returned, tapping his fingers gently on the couch. Alejandro chuckled, " Did you think it was an empty threat?” "Threat? Oh, you thought I took that as a threat." “Then why are you here?" Alejandro returned the question. Javier broke into a chuckle. “Kids grow quickly. Alejandro, I took you in when you fled from your mother. You don't have the right to question my actions?" “If your actions seem to affect the ones dear to my heart, then I think I have the right to question you." Javier stared intensely at the back of Javier's head. He was returning witty answers. Alejandro has been a reliable hand

    Her knees went wobbly. She managed to pull herself into an empty space. Her heart was beating quickly. Alejandro doesn't deserve her. She wasn't worth his love, time and affection. She was as good as trash. She splashed water over her face. Tears spurred out of her eyes. Staring at herself in the mirror, she saw a broken form with eyes drooping. She took deep breaths multiple times. When she felt she was ready to step out, she returned to meet Alejandro. She noticed his smile was gone.. “Hey, I'm sorry I took a long time," she flashed an apologetic beam. He flicked his hand, “It's fine." They finished up their food. They walked down to the garage. Alejandro opened the car's door while she entered. He entered as well and drove out of the eatery. He stopped a few meters away from her home. Kensington noticed a drop in his mood. “Alejandro, Is everything fine? Is there a problem?" She asked with a firm voice, a part of her fretted because she felt he must have found out her

    Alejandro's eyes narrowed in surprise and guilt. His lips trembled when he saw how red her face was. Her nose flared up. Her face had a shady colour of burnt orange, she turned her eyes away from him. Silence fell amongst them. The tension between them was palpable. None uttered a wor

    Kensington could smell something wrong with her tone. Carefully, she placed down the cup on the counter and returned to the living room where Laura sat with her legs folded on the couch.“I never said so, Laura." “Your actions last time said so," Laura retorted. Kensington was much more than s

    She worked the next two days after the phone call. She kept to herself and only said hello to Ana whenever she passed by.
