Chapter Four
Kingston’s POV
The only thing I could think of is the taste of Luisa’s lips on mine. Every day I woke up, I tried getting a glance at her but she was hiding well in my mansion and I wasn’t ready to call her out.
I had gone to the club, called my previous flings. Anything to wash away the desire and make me focus on working but all was vain.All my body wanted was Luisa or nobody else. She was all I desired and I will finally find a way to have her.I always had what I wanted.I picked up my phone and called my home. Miss Andreas picked on the first ringing. I had always loved that the woman was diligent and she had practically raised me as her own with my mother always busy and out of the country.“Good day. Miss Andreas. Can you forward the details on Miss Luisa's employment?”“Yes, master.” Then she hung up the phone. I knew she was curious about my relationship with her but she was just trying not to seem curious.A few minutes later, I received the application details.She had a son. It was surprising. Maybe that was why she needed the job badly, because of her son.She wasn’t married.Damn! She was a single mother.What sort of man abandoned his own son? I am sure he must be a stupid fool. Who wouldn’t want Luisa?The urge to see her only increased. He closed the mail and called his personal assistant.“Can you reschedule? I am going out now.”I did not wait for her to respond before hanging up the call. Immediately I left my office, JImmy came to my side.“Where are we going?” He asked. He was the only one that could question me among the bodyguards.“You will find out. I am driving though.”He shrugged, “As long as you aren’t planning to slaughter me.”I smiled, “You are the last I will want to slaughter.”Immediately I was in the car, I called Miss Andreas again. “Is Luisa at the mansion?”“No, master. She left an hour ago.”“Good.”Jimmy raised his brow, “What’s your deal with her?”“With who?”“Don’t play dumb with me? I am talking about the maid.”I laughed, “You should have made yourself clearer. Well, she was the lady who ran from me two years ago.”“The one you nearly run mad looking for.” JImmy was laughing now.I hit him, “I wasn’t running mad. But, yeah, she was.”“Wow. So what’s the plan? I thought you have forgotten her.”I shook my head, “Not that easily. She tormented my dreams. I must have her even if it's just once again. I am not for marriage not after what who we must not mention did.”Jimmy nodded.The drive was short and I could easily locate the apartment. It was in one of those unsecured environments, I hate to think of something bad happening to her. I pressed the bell, and she instantly opened it with a baby in her hand.A baby that was staring at me and looked like the live version of my pictures when I was a kid.What the fuck was happening?She seemed to have recovered from her shock because she pulled the babyface away from me. Too late, I have seen it.She blocked the door and stopped me from entering.“Can you please open the door wider, Luisa? I came here because of you.”She shrugged, “I didn’t ask you to.” The baby keeps trying to look at me just she kept turning his head to the other side.I had no idea what was going on or what to say. Why was she suddenly harsh?“Is that your baby?” I said trying to please her. I wasn’t here to fight with her,“He is. Now please leave my apartment. This is not your mansion.”“Wow! Why are you being hostile? Did I say something wrong or do something wrong?”“No! Just leave.”Well, too bad for her that I don’t listen to orders well I pushed her inside and also entered the apartment. It was small. Smaller than my bathroom. I closed the door behind her.She was still hiding her baby's face from me. “You know I have already seen his face and he is handsome by the way. His father must be handsome.”She let out a sigh and finally put the baby down. He ran to play with some toys on the floor. “He is handsome.”“Where is he?” I crossed my legs.“Obviously, not here,” She said. “Although, I did not invite you to my apartment what would you like to have.”“You.” I raised a brow. She shuffled in her seat.“You know I want you and there is no way I am hiding the fact that I want you.”“I thought I already gave you a response. I am not interested in you.”“Why? What don't you like about me?”She shrugged, “I am not just interested in whatever you have to offer.”My gaze shifted to the boy sitting on the floor again. “Is it because of him or his father?”She was quiet. I knew I had hit a nail.“Is his father coming back?”“Never!” She responded so fast, that I smiled.“Then that's good. You are not married and I want you. We are adults so surely we can work it out.”“What do you say?”She was about to say something but the baby walked to me and pulled my cloth. He looked so cute, so I carried him.That was when it struck me. This baby looked exactly like me, and he was already walking. When was the time I met Luisa?She saw the strange expression on my face and collected the baby from me.“Can I see his father’s picture?”“No, but you can leave. Thank you.”It was obvious that she was hiding something. I smiled. I am good at finding out whatever she was hiding. Anything that will make her mine.Kingston’s P.O.V.“Derek’s dead.”Luisa dropped on the bed. I guessed regardless of how she thought she hated him, his death was still shocking to her. I was pretty shocked myself. I wanted to be the one who ended his life slowly, but I never thought he could be so cowardly. He chose his death to be tortured, but then he had been so sure of himself, so I wondered why he suddenly changed his mind and died.She looked around, avoiding my gaze and biting her lower lips.“I told the guys to bury him silently. He doesn’t have any family.”She sighed, “Do you also think it’s our fault? If we had handed him over to the police, he might not have killed himself, right?”Holding her shoulder, I shook my head, “It’s not our fault, Luisa. All we did was protect our family. Anyone will do anything for family’s sake. And we didn’t kill him. He chose death.”She paused to assimilate that and nodded, “I went to him yesterday, alone.”My hold on her tightened, “What?”“After we left Derek, I went to s
Luisa’s POV I trailed back the path I just left with Kingston. I wasn’t supposed to be back here, but I had been doing daring things and was ready to take it up a notch. I wasn’t trying to be brave or pretending to be, but I wanted to make something clear to him, and I know I’m the only one who can pass the message loud and clear. I was expecting some kind of security to guard the building in case of an attempted escape – and I have my perfect excuse at the tip of my tongue.Alas! There was no one.The door was closed firmly, and the key was attached to it. It made no sense, but barely anything makes sense these days. When I came with Kingston, there was no one at the door, but I had expected that was because Kingston was there. I thought once he left, someone would be guiding him, like Jimmy, ensuring there was no way to escape.Well, I guessed attaching a key to the lock made it safe. I unlocked the door and stepped in slowly. My senses were on alert. Maybe someone was guiding hi
Luisa’s POVI wasn’t wicked. I wasn’t the type that sees others in pain and gets happy, but I was when I saw Derek there. I thought it would be a painful experience, but it was just the closure I needed – knowing he wasn’t anywhere that could be dangerous to my family. Knowing he couldn’t escape gave me some peace of mind.After walking a few distances from him, Kingston stopped us, “Are you okay?”I frowned. I know he was trying to protect me, but I wasn’t some kind of weak female. I wanted him to know that. “I’m fine.”He didn’t smile, “I just want to make sure you are really fine. It’s your first time seeing such a sight.”That’s true. I might have felt pity for someone else, but I didn’t feel pity towards him. We continued walking, and an idea boomed in my head, “How about we celebrate?”“Celebrate.”I nod, “Remember that we couldn’t go on our honeymoon because of the situation. How about we start our celebration now?”He raised a brow in astonishment. He had rubbed on me. No
Kingston’s POV.My hand hurt, and I wrapped a cloth around it bruises on it. I wasn’t ready to stop what I was doing. I grabbed Derek’s collar and moved him closer to me, but he was all limp. His lips were bruised and covered in blood. I was certain, I must have knocked off one or two of his teeth, but he forced a smile towards me, showing his bloody teeth.It was getting boring to me.I loved it when he struggled, and could still talk about how Luisa was his. How all I was doing wouldn’t make him leave her alone? How she was going to realize I wasn’t good enough for her?It was fun when he had the fight in him, but now, it was boring. He could barely talk, even if he wanted to.I threw him back, flexing my hand, and turned towards Jimmy who stood at the edge of the door. “No food for him today?”Jimmy nodded, and I headed to the bathroom washing off his filthy blood. I bathed thoroughly and changed my clothes before heading to my family. There was no way to hide my bruises so
Luisa POVI didn’t take my eyes off Derek from the rearview. I could hardly believe he was her in the car with handcuffs. My gaze momentarily went to Rena and I paled – it was my fault. The bruise on her lips was all because of me. It should be my lips, not hers.“I am sorry, Rena.”She turned towards me and winced a bit touching the bruise, “It's okay. It’s what I signed up for.”I chuckled, “You didn’t sign up for a bruise on your face, that’s all on me.”She shrugged, “Regardless, I am just glad to be of help. Honestly.”Fabian snorted. I glared at him, but that didn’t keep him shut.“I can’t believe you lied to me, Jenny. You were the one I was looking for and you sent me up.”If it wasn’t for the bruise on Rena’s lips, I might have felt guilty for lying to him, but I felt nothing. “That’s because you weren’t willing to know the truth. You only heard the story from one person's perspective and you jumped to a conclusion. I can’t put my trust in someone who blindly trusts
Kingston’s POVThis place was a hotel in disguise. It was hard to believe that there was a hotel without security, but the first point of contact was the receptionist. While we were trying to follow Rena’s dot, she stopped us with a smile.“Welcome to Numb Hotel. How can we be of service to you?”I frowned, and turned towards her, improvising, “We need a room.”She mentioned the price, and I could hardly believe how cheap this hotel was. It might have been the reason they lacked security and safety. She pressed a bell on the table, and we waited – each second painfully long until another woman came out from somewhere. She was fat and her stomach seemed to be obstructing her from moving normally.“Follow me.” She said.She started moving us in the opposite direction of the blue dot. I stopped and she copied me, “Any problem?”I pointed towards the direction, “I want a room on that side.”She sighed as if she had been afraid we were planning on canceling. I guess they do need mon
