2025-02-09 10:13:44Kaiden came to meet Kailani as usual, but she wasn’t there. He searched for her, asking some students if they had seen her until he found her at the school’s backyard, crouched against the wall, tears rolling freely down her cheeks.
“Kayla?” He rushed over to her, squatting beside her. “What’s wrong? Did Aveline bully you again?” he asked.“You need to stay away, Kaiden,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper. “I don’t want you close to me anymore. Thank you for always being there for me, but we have to act like strangers from now on.”Kaiden chuckled. “That’s a joke, right? What are you even talking about?” he asked.“We can’t be friends anymore,” she said. “The world is against us, okay? And it’s best we stay apart. We don’t have to sit together during lunchtime. We don’t have to talk, joke, or act like friends.” She opened her backpack and took out the phone and Wi-Fi he had given her. “I don’t need this anymore. Thanks for being a wonderful friend.”He d

It was finally Saturday, and Eureka felt restless. Kaiden was still upset with her for telling Kailani to stay away from him, but that wasn’t her biggest problem. She had woken up with a churning stomach and a persistent lump in her throat. The thought of going out with Mr. Blackwood unsettled her. She sat at her desk, sketchbook open, pencil in hand, but her mind kept drifting back to him.“Why don’t you remember me, Eureka?"His words echoed in her head as if he were standing right beside her, repeating them over and over. “He knows who I am,” she thought, setting her pencil down and focusing on her thoughts. “What if he could help me remember? What if he’s the key to regaining my memory? But how does he know me? Who was he to me? And why do I feel strange whenever I hear his name?”A soft knock on the door pulled her from her thoughts.“Come in,” she said.Mildred entered, her arms clasped behind her back as usual. “Miss Bennett, I think you need to talk to Kaiden.

Eureka burst into her room, tossing her handbag to the floor and dropping onto the bed in tears. She had just returned from the place where she was told she could find a clue about her daughter’s whereabouts. Unfortunately, the woman she was supposed to meet had died some months ago.“Someone should tell me my child is okay, please,” she sobbed, burying her face in her palms.Kaiden walked in, standing by the door and watching his mother for a few minutes before approaching her. He placed a hand on her shoulder, and she jolted slightly, lifting her teary eyes to him. He sat beside her.“What did she say?” he asked.“The woman is dead, Kaiden. I can’t find Kelsey,” she cried.“You need to calm down, Mom. We’ll keep looking, and I’m sure we’ll find her soon. Stop crying,” he consoled her.“Why did they have to take my child away from me?” she continued crying. “I gave birth to her in that damn hospital. They didn’t even allow me to see her. They didn’t let me h

“Have a nice day, gentlemen,” Eureka said, standing up and picking up her handbag. She had just concluded a meeting with some of her new investors. “Same to you, Miss Bennett,” two of the investors responded, except for the third, who requested to speak with her privately. Mr. David Mathews was a tall, athletic, and lanky CEO of a multinational textile company. Throughout the meeting, Eureka couldn’t help but notice the piercing glances he sent her way. He was also the first to support her proposal and had promised to provide immense support for her upcoming campaign. “What’s this meeting about, Mr. Mathews?” Eureka asked, trying to sound polite, though she disliked being pulled aside like this. “I’ll get straight to the point, Miss Bennett. This isn’t another business discussion,” he said, his piercing eyes locking onto hers. Eureka was forced to look away. “I’m stating the obvious. You’re enchanting, and it takes everything in a man not to fall for you at first sight. I’d love to

Eureka went grocery shopping because Kaiden insisted she prepare his dinner herself. “What exactly are we shopping for, son? What do you want me to cook?” Eureka asked, turning to face Kaiden, who was following behind her, filming them. She disliked cooking these days, unlike when she was still married to Raymond. But whenever Kaiden insisted, she never said no. He paused the video. “Macaroni and cheese, fried chicken, and cornbread,” he listed, caring little about his mother’s annoyed expression. “You know something, Kaiden,” she said, turning back to the produce shelf. “I can only make macaroni and cheese for you. Mildred will do the rest.” “Why, Mom?” Kaiden frowned. “Since we got to this city, you haven’t made a single meal for me. You have to cook everything, or I won’t eat tonight.” “I guess you enjoy starving,” she teased, picking a vegetable from the shelf. “Mom!” “Just kidding. But this will be the first and last time I cook for you this year. Deal?” “That’s so mean,”

Kaiden, on the other hand, found Kailani’s textbook in the car. It had slipped from her hand while he was kissing her. “Clumsy girl,” Kaiden smiled to himself. “Let’s go back, driver. She’ll need the book over the weekend,” he said. The driver didn’t object and took the nearest U-turn.Kaiden was allowed inside after introducing himself as Kailani’s friend and Eureka’s son. As he entered the house, he stumbled back as Kailani bumped into him at the door. She couldn’t bear the torture anymore—she had to run.“Kayla?” Kaiden called out in shock, holding her in place. She was drenched in sweat, blood trickling down her broken temple. The back of her shirt was stained from the hot iron Delilah had used on her.“Where’s that slut?!” Delilah groaned, running out of the kitchen and halting abruptly at the sight of Kaiden. Kailani flitted behind him, hiding from her tormentor.“What the hell is this?” Kaiden was too stunned to even shout. His voice was barely audible, his heartbeat drumming i

Raymond entered the house, holding a shopping bag for Kailani. He had promised to get her new clothes on his way back. “Kay!” he called out, closing the door behind him.“Hey, honey,” Delilah said, walking out of the kitchen with a broad smile. She wrapped her arms around him in a hug. “How was work today?” she asked.“It was fine.” He pulled away from her. “Where’s Kailani? I got her a present.”Delilah’s eyes dropped to the shopping bag he was holding, and she sneered. Looking back at Raymond, she forced a smile. “She hasn’t returned from school,” she lied. “I called her, but she didn’t answer, so I thought you went to pick her up.”Raymond checked his wristwatch. It was past 10 PM. “She’s not back at this time?” His forehead creased in confusion. “Okay, take this to her room. I’ll try calling the principal,” he said, handing her the bag. She reluctantly took it and headed upstairs.Raymond didn’t call the principal. Instead, he entered the kitchen, expecting to find the cook.“Welc

Eureka stood near her mighty gate, her arms folded firmly across her chest as she held Raymond’s gaze. “How may I help you, Mr. Blackwood?” she asked, her tone firm.Raymond swallowed. He had no right to demand Kailani, but he needed to be sure she was okay. “I’m sorry for coming over so early. Can I see your son, please?” he asked calmly.“Why do you want to see him?”“Please, Eureka. I know your son knows the whereabouts of Kailani. I really need to see her. She’s under my care,” he said.Eureka scoffed. “You have no right to come to my house and demand anyone. And who the hell is Kailani, by the way? What business does my son have with her?”“He was at my home last night, and he left with her. Let me speak with your son, please,” he begged.Eureka was almost moved by his plea, but she knew Kaiden would get mad at her for letting Raymond in, so her resolve didn’t falter.“My son knows nothing about Kailani. And don’t ever come looking for my son again. I’ll be forced to call the cop

Kaiden sat on his bed, his back reclined against the headboard as he scrolled through his Instagram page. It had been a week since he last checked his account because of Kailani’s illness, and he had spent over two hours replying to messages.“Get some rest now," Eureka said, walking in without him noticing. He glanced at her while typing a reply. “You've been on this since morning." She sat beside him.“Just a minute," he gestured with a finger. When he was done, he put down his phone and turned to his mother. “I've replied to all my messages."Eureka ran her fingers through his hair. "You're stressed out,” she said. "I know this isn't the best time to say this, but the company needs you. We're advertising our new collection, so we need you for a shoot on Monday evening.”"It's not a big deal," Kaiden said, his voice firm. “As long as you pay me," he added, and Eureka smiled.“Also, Mildred has prepared a guest room for Kailani.

Kaiden stepped out of the car, holding a small bag for Kailani. He had a shoot at the company, so he went to the office with Raymond as his driver, leaving Kailani with their mom. He ran his fingers through his freshly styled hair, the soft breeze kissing his skin.“Kaiden, can we talk for a minute?” Raymond asked, walking around the car to block Kaiden’s path.“The only thing I need to listen to now is a running shower,” he stated, walking off.Raymond moved to stand in front of him again, earning himself a death glare from Kaiden. “I know you’re exhausted; it won’t take long.”Kaiden took a step back from him. “You’ve just three minutes.”“With the help of insurance, my company is back in shape.

Melissa stood by the door, staring at Jared as he worked on the desktop. He was also on the phone with a client or whoever it was, so he didn't notice her entry. The secretary had allowed her in when Melissa said she was paying Jared a surprise visit and didn’t want it spoiled. Besides, the secretary wasn’t informed that Melissa shouldn't be allowed into Jared's office without his consent. After all, they had seen her a couple of times before.So, when Jared ended the call and attempted to retrieve a file from his drawer, he saw her standing, her eyes glued to him.“Lisa?" He froze on the spot, his heart skipping a beat. “You didn’t tell me you were coming."“That’s what surprises are for,” she smiled, walking over to him. “Did it work?”“I bet it did, but I still insist you should have called me before coming,” he said, sitting back in his chair.“Oh, should I leave then inform you if I ever want to come back?” she snapped, though her voice was low.“Have a seat.

Kailani withdrew her hand from Kaiden's, stumbled back, turned, and took to her heels.“Hey, wait!" Kaiden rushed after her. “What's wrong, Kayla? You need to stop."Kailani didn’t stop. She ran as fast as her trembling legs could take her, pushing past people and crashing into their shopping carts.“Sorry," Kaiden apologized to the shoppers. “Wait up, Kayla!"Kailani stumbled upon a staircase, falling to the floor with a soft thud. That didn’t stop her. She swallowed the pain, scrambled to her feet, and tried to dash off when Kaiden grabbed her hand."Let me go!” she cried, tears rolling down her cheeks."Stop, Kayla. You need to relax,” Kaiden said gently."I want to go home, please,” she sobbed."Fine, let's go,” Kaiden agreed, leading her out of the mall."What's wrong?

"When I was…with those people," she paused, watching Eureka's concerned expression. Kailani scanned the room, shifting closer to her mother as her hands began trembling."Relax…you're safe with me now," Eureka assured her, draping an arm around her shoulders and pulling her closer.

Kaiden walked into the room after leaving to get some snacks for Kailani, but she had already fallen asleep. He sat on the edge of the bed, his soft eyes trailing her from head to toe, then he held her hand, squeezing it gently.“I knew something was off when that bitch entered the class on that ugly day," he thought. “The energy felt different. She had your voice, your face, but she didn't have your heart. I wish I had pointed that out, I wish I could have looked her in the face and told her she was not my Kayla. How could I? She bloody had your face and there was no way you would be two in the world with striking resemblance,” he paused as she stirred. He patted her arm gently and she relaxed again.“I'm deeply sorry, Kayla. The second time you need me and I wasn't able to help you. Even Mom couldn't. We all couldn't, probably because we didn't know evil exists to that extent. You'll heal perfectly, okay?” he said with a warm smile appearing on his face.

“You said she would be fine, doc. What the hell is wrong with my daughter now? Why is she so scared? What does she see?” Eureka asked as she barged into the doctor's office.“You need to relax, Miss Bennett. Please have a seat," the doctor said calmly. Eureka hesitated before sitting down.“Your daughter is traumatized. She must have experienced some ugly events that are causing her reaction. You need to understand that it takes time for her to get over that scene. That’s why I suggest she starts seeing a psychotherapist,” the doctor explained."Are you saying that my daughter has a mental disability? She spoke just fine to us, then all of a sudden she started reacting strangely.”"Your daughter is emotionally affected. Psychotherapy doesn’t mean she’s crazy.

“Kayla?” Kaiden muttered, his voice barely above a whisper. He dropped on his knees in her front, cupping her face, his hands trembling. “Kayla, can you hear me? It's Kaiden," he said, then untied her. He checked her pulse, listened to her heartbeat, but heard nothing. Silence. The kind that paralysis someone with fear. Her body?
