LOGINChapter Seven
KADEN.
I watched Brenda sleep all night.
Or, I watched her stay awake.
I knew she didn't blink an eye.
My presence made her uncomfortable and I knew she couldn't sleep.
Anyway, I didn't mind, it wasn't my business anyway.
I'm not used to sleeping, infact, I don't sleep at all and whenever I do, it's usually short and painful, filled with nightmares of my past.
So watching her all night wasn't a problem..for me at least.
Immediately she saw me, that intense gaze of hatred filled her eyes.
I was always used to been looked upon with hate but hers was somewhat different.
âYou look good in the morning, princess!â Was all I could say.
It was indeed a taunt but nevertheless, she did look good.
Her silky auburn hair was scattered acrossed her flushed face and I could swore that I felt my dĂŹck harden immediately.
She didn't reply so I continued.
âHungry?â I asked her and she looked at me, with a gaze as sour as Lemon.
âNope! For all I know you could have the food poisoned!â
I nearly laughed at her foolishness.
What's the use when a blow from me and she'll be dead already?
I smirked and I could see how mad she got with it.
How I love whenever she's mad.
âYou think so low of me, Princess! It's hurtful!â I said, Standing up as I began taking strides towards her.
They were wide strides but at a slow pace, because I was enjoying the look on her face.
I saw her struggling so much with the handcuffs, Does she really think she could pull them off so easily?
Foolish.
I brought my lips closer to her ears and I could hear her Scared breaths.
âIf you don't want to eat food, however you eat something else instead, remember what I told you at the woods? You could replace Sasha and suck on my Äicġ! I'm madly horny after watching you sleep all night!â
I turned immediately after saying that.
I knew how much my words could have on any lady and Brenda Ballister was no different.
âYou darn AĹs!â She seemed to snap out of her trance, Cussing as usual and I smirked before walking out.
** ** **
I went to meet Alistair and Wasn't surprised to see him with Benzo at the Dinning hall with the other FIENDS.
The Gang bowed in respect immediately on seeing me but I ignored them all as I took a seat besides Alistair.
âStatus report?â I asked and Both He and benzo glanced at each other.
It was obvious about how shocked they were seeing me in the dinning hall.
âUhm! Well sir, Turns out that The Ballisters has agreed to you marrying thier daughter!â
Benzo said and I didn't fail to notice the way Alistair's veins popped up in his forearm.
Interesting.
âSo all that's left!?â I asked, My question directed at Allistair.
âJust the preparations!â He mumbled and I nodded.
âBut boss! I don't actually trust them!â Benzo said and I arched an eyebrow, an indication for him to continue.
âIt seems too strange! Why did they agree so suddenly? It's oddly suspicious!â He said and I hmmped in response.
âSo what do you suggest?â I asked.
âKill her, Boss!â Benzo answered.
âNo!â Alistair suddenly yelled and I glanced at him and Benzo did the same.
âNo?â Benzo asked with a suspicious glint in his eyes.
âI mean! It'd be such a waste and a pity to kill her off like that!â He mumbled, his head down while i stared at him.
Alistair Dexter is my second in command.
After Me, He's the most feared in the whole Troup.
He kills without mercy, even if it's a man, Woman or even a child.
He once made a girl of 5 years old swallow a bullet only for it to explode later as a bomb.
He was brutal..like me.
But now, He's saying that killing Brenda is a waste?
He's saying it's a pity?
A Smirk curled up to my lips immediately.
âThat's none of your business, Allistair and Benzo, I'll handle anything that comes!â I said simply, checking the time.
It was 7:40 and She hadn't eaten.
I stood up immediately, heading to the kitchen.
âĽď¸ * * âĽď¸
I had the maids whip up a simple meal of scrambled eggs for her and took it to her myself.
Immediately I stepped into the room, Her multicolored Eyes shifted to me.
Though, it was filled with hate and disgust as usual, I still couldn't get over how beautiful it was.
I dropped the tray of food besides her on the bed and she stared at it without an emotion.
âEat up!â I said simply and She scoffed with an eye roll.
âWhat part of âI'm not hungry!â Don't you understand? Or are you seriously muscles without any brains?â She asked and My bones clenched.
Noone talks to me in this manner, Noone.
Trying to bring out the little humanity in me, I sat down besides her and used the fork to take some of the eggs, bringing it to her small mouth.
She frowned, hitting it away.
âI said I don't want your fvcking food!â She snapped.
âEat up or else I might have my boys kill your mother!â I snapped and she chuckled dryly.
âIs this how it's going to be? I refuse to do what you want and then you threaten me with my mum? Isn't that too cowardly?â She sneered at me and I didn't realise when I grabbed her throat.
My arms kept tightening around her small neck and she kept gasping.
âI am your fĂšcking senior! I don't care what title you held when you were back at home but at my place,my turf! I am the fĂšcking leader and whatever I said, you will do! That is if you want to prolong your stay over here!â I Yelled at her before finally throwing her away violently.
She landed on the bed, water streaming down her eyes as she struggled for breath.
âYou might as well, Starve and die!â I said, Spitting on the food before walking out, My veins flashing.
I was mad.
Really Mad.
Chapter 134BrendaâTo before all this happened. To when Kaden and I could talk without fear or anger.âShe smiled softly. âYou canât go back, Brenda. But you can start again.âHer words hung in the air, reassuring me in the most unimaginable way. I stole a glance at her, and she nodded, like she was confirming what she had said.My lips pressed together, a new surge of hope burning inside me as I stood to my feet. âThank you Kira for your kind words. I have to take my leave now.â***Later that evening, I found myself walking down the building, near Kaden's block. I didnât plan to â my feet just sort of led me there. The sun was setting, burning through my skin.I stopped across the building, staring at the small block with the dim light coming from the window. I could see a shadow move inside â his shadow.For a long moment, I just stood there, my hands in my pockets, my heart pounding.I wanted to walk up to the door and knock. I wanted to tell him how sorry I was. But Kiraâs words
Chapter 133BrendaIt had been three days since I last saw Kaden. Three long, quiet, and heavy days.The first day, I thought it didnât matter. I thought maybe it was better this way â that after everything that happened, maybe we both needed space. But as each hour passed, the silence started to bother me more than I expected.Now, sitting alone in my room, I couldnât stop thinking about him.The rain had stopped outside, leaving the sky dull. I sat by the window, watching little drops of water slide down the glass. My chest felt tight, like something inside was twisting slowly and wouldnât stop.Kaden hadnât called. He hadnât texted. He hadnât even looked my way since that night.And I couldnât blame him.I pressed my palms against my eyes, trying to stop the tears that were already forming. âWhy did I do that?â I whispered to myself.The sound of my own voice made the room feel even emptier.When I called the police on him, I thought I was doing the right thing. I thought he was da
Chapter 132Kaden The next morning, I woke up early. The light coming through the curtains was soft and warm. I stretched and sat up, feeling something I hadnât felt in a long time â calm.When I stepped out into the living room, Kira was already there, sitting at the table with a cup of coffee. She looked up and smiled. âMorning.ââMorning,â I said quietly.She studied my face for a moment. âYou look better.ââYeah,â I said. âA little.âShe nodded, her smile widening. âThatâs good. You deserve some peace.âI sat down across from her. âThank you, Kira. For everything.âShe waved it off. âYou donât have to thank me. I just did what was right.ââStill,â I said, looking down at the cup sheâd poured for me. âNot everyone wouldâve believed me.ââI did,â she said softly. âAnd I always will.âSomething in my chest eased even more as she said those words.And then, just like it came, Kiraâs smile faded a little when she saw how serious I looked. I could feel the world pressing inside my ches
Chapter 131KarenWhen Kira and I got home, the air in the house felt strange⌠everywhere was quiet and it felt a bit strange.The drive back had been silent. Kira sat beside me, her hands on her lap, her eyes fixed on the road. Every now and then, sheâd glance my way, as if to make sure I was really there.I didnât blame her for the silence. What could she even say? What could I say?When we walked into the house, everything looked the same, but it didnât feel the same. Kira turned to me gently. âYou should rest, Karen. Youâve been through a lot.âI nodded without a word. My body was tired, but my mind wouldnât stop running.As I made my way down the hallway towards my room, I passed by Brendaâs door. It was closed. For a moment, I stopped there, listening. I thought I heard movement â maybe she was pacing, maybe crying. I didnât know.But I didnât knock.Not because I was angry, but because I wasn't ready for any drama⌠not yet.I just⌠didnât know what to say.After what happened,
Chapter 130KiraI couldn't sleep throughout the night.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Karenâs face, filled with shock, fear and disbelief. I lay on my bed staring at the ceiling, my hands clutching the blanket. My mind wouldnât stop running. None of this made any sense.Karen couldnât have killed Alistair. I knew him. He wasnât perfect, but he wasnât a murderer.I kept replaying everything in my head, restlessly trying to piece out the puzzle.By morning, I made up my mind. I was going to find out the truth myself.I got up, threw on a jacket, and left the house quietly. The guards at the gate barely noticed me as I walked past. My hands were shaking a little, but my mind was clear. I needed answers, and I wasnât going to rest until I found them.The first person I went to was a guard named Mason. He was one of the few people who had been around that night Alistair died. He was older than most of the other guards, quiet, and usually kept to himself.I found him standing by the ba
Chapter 129KiraI was standing by the door, my hand already on the knob, ready to leave, when I heard something that made my heart stop.It was a loud thud, followed by voices shouting from the hallway.At first, I thought I was imagining things. But then I heard it clearly this timeâsomeone yelling, âFreeze! Hands up!âMy stomach dropped. That wasnât just anyoneâs voice. It was a policeman.I turned sharply, my heart pounding so hard I could hear it in my ears. My steps felt slow at first, but as the noise grew louder, I ran towards the sound. When I reached the corner of the hallway, I froze.Two policemen were dragging someone through the open window.And that person was Karen.For a second, I couldnât breathe. My mind refused to believe what my eyes were seeing. His hands were cuffed behind his back, his shirt wrinkled, and his face pale under the bright light. One of the officers had a tight grip on his arm, while the other pushed him forward.âWaitâwhatâs going on?â I shouted,
