Bound by the CEO: Torn by Lies After I Leave
Kaiden and Kailani walked into his room after leaving the beach."Thank you so much, Kaiden. Today was fun," she said, flopping onto the bed. "I don't remember the last time I was at the beach."Kaiden slowly closed the door, leaning against the doorframe as he stared at her. He had promised to tell her the truth. The longer he held onto it, the more complicated things became."What's wrong?" she asked, sitting up. "Did I say something wrong?"Kaiden shook his head and walked closer. He sat beside her on the bed, his heart pounding, his expression heavy with sorrow. This wasn’t how he wanted things to be. If they had known she was his sister from the start, he wouldn’t have developed feelings for her."I need to tell you something," he murmured."Before you do, can you close your eyes?" she asked."What for?""Just for a minute, please. I have a surprise for you.""What surprise?""Just close your eyes first.""Kayla, you can't do that," he said, already sensing her intention."What c

Kailani regained consciousness a few minutes later. She opened her eyes, rubbed them, and sat up, only to find Kaiden and their mom seated on opposite sides of the bed as if they were guarding her. She gasped when her eyes met Eureka’s and shifted nervously toward Kaiden.“How do you feel now, dear?” Eureka asked, reaching out to touch Kailani’s hand, but she flinched.“I’m... I’m fine, ma’am,” Kailani replied, her voice shaking.“Look, sweetheart, I know this revelation is shocking, but believe me, I never intended for us to be separated. We’ve been searching for you for the past seventeen years, even coming down to the States. Aveline was a mistake. You are my biological daughter, Kaiden’s twin,” Eureka explained, her voice soft, eyes brimming with tears.Kailani glanced at Kaiden, who sat quietly. “Ma’am, you... you’re making another mistake, please,” Kailani said. “I know how much you want to find your child, but that child is not me. I have a mother. Though she’s unwell now, she

A week later, Kaiden sat with Kailani in the back seat of the car as the driver took them to school. Kailani was focused on her new phone, while Kaiden was busy staring at her. Though he had promised to keep his feelings in check, he hadn’t gotten over them. His heart still skipped a beat whenever he looked at her.“Kaiden?” Kailani called when she caught him staring.“You’re beautiful,” he said, brushing her hair from her face.“Thank you,” she muttered.He quickly composed himself before he lost control and stole a kiss. “So, would you like me to take you to the office after school?” he asked.“Do you have a shoot?”“Not really. But I can take you. Don’t you want to meet my colleagues?”“I’d love to, but you know your mom is…”“Our mom,” he corrected.Kailani scratched the side of her neck.“Go on, what about Mom?” Kaiden asked.“I think it’s best we’re home before she returns from her trip. That’s all,” she said.“She’ll be home before we leave school, so there’s no point. We’re go

After closing, Kailani waited patiently by the car for Kaiden, who had gone to see the principal. She leaned against the car, her eyes glued to her phone, while the breeze made her hair flutter, cascading around her. Stetson approached, his usual soft smile creeping onto his face. “Hi, Kailani,” he greeted warmly. Kailani lifted her eyes to meet his. “Hi,” she responded. “Aren’t you going home yet?” “I’m waiting for Kaiden,” she said. He moved closer. “Um, is it okay if we become friends? My mom told me about you and your brother,” Stetson said. “Who is your mom? What did she say?” she asked, seeming interested. “She’s your mom’s childhood friend. She wants us to be close too. What do you think?” “It’s not a bad idea, but I’m afraid…” She paused, seeing Kaiden approaching with clenched fists. “I think it’s best you leave now. I don’t want Kaiden losing his temper again,” she said. “It’s okay. See you tomorrow,” Stetson said with a wave before leaving. “What took yo

“Guess what, Kaiden?” Eureka asked excitedly as she entered his room. “You won’t believe who I got for you!”“Did you buy someone or what?” Kaiden asked nonchalantly.“Come see.” She reached for his hand, pulling him out of bed.“Mom, I’m not in the mood for your surprises. I’m not interested.”“You can’t say no to this. It was part of the reason you never wanted to come to the States,” she said, leading him downstairs.“I had many reasons. Which one?” he asked.“If I tell you, then it won’t be a surprise.”“What’s wrong, ma’am?” Kailani asked as she entered the living room from the kitchen.“Nothing much. I have a little surprise for Kaiden. Let’s go outside,” Eureka replied.When they stepped outside, Kaiden stopped, staring at the man before him—a middle-aged Chinese man with his hands clasped behind his back. He was clad in a black robe, black shoes, and white socks.“Master Louis?” Kaiden called in surprise.“Hi, Kaiden,” Master Louis greeted.“Oh my goodness! Mom, you didn’t tel

Eureka sat facing Raymond at the police station. His right arm was strapped, his left temple bruised, and his lips broken. She took her time studying his face. “What’s all this, Ray?” she asked, feigning sympathy as she reached out to touch his face. He pulled away. “You don’t have to pretend you care,” he said coldly. “Why do you keep coming here?” “Don’t you like seeing me?” She tilted her head. “I haven’t been here for the past two or three weeks. Don’t you miss me?” “You put me here, so what’s the point?” “Look at you, Ray. Why are you always fighting?” she asked softly. “I’m sure your temper is the cause of all this. Do you enjoy being broken like this?” Tears filled her eyes. Raymond leaned closer over the table between them. “I don’t understand you, Eureka. One minute you hate me, the next you act like you care. What exactly do you want?” “It’s true I want you punished for what you did to me, but I don’t want you getting beaten up like this. It’s your confinement I want,

The car came to a halt at the police station, prompting the twins to exchange confused glances.“The police station?” Kailani asked, her heart racing.She had been to the police station a couple of times whenever her psycho mother was arrested for mistreating her. She never liked the place. Though others believed her mother deserved it, she didn’t want her there. She believed her mother turned against her because of her mental illness and the death of her father. She would always cry, begging the police and anyone around to bail her out. At the end of the day, the woman would do worse and get arrested again. It became a weekly routine until Kailani was taken away from her.“What are we doing at the station, Mom?” Kaiden asked.“We won’t be here long. I need to show you two to someone. Come,” Eureka said, stepping out of the car.As they stepped out, Kailani instinctively took Kaiden’s hand, her body trembling.“Are you scared?” Kaiden asked, wrapping his hand around hers, stroking her

Though it had been a week since their visit to the station, Kailani still hadn’t recovered. Everything seemed to be happening too fast. The parents she had known all her life turned out to be her grandparents, the man she knew as her boss was actually her father, and her first love turned out to be her brother. No matter how hard she tried to adjust, things kept spiraling out of control.She was seated on a bench in the school compound, refusing to go to the cafeteria. Kaiden had decided to get them some snacks. A novel lay open in her hands, but she hadn’t read a single word. Her eyes were fixed on the distance, her heart skipped beats, and her stomach churned. She feared what she might discover next.“Kailani?” Stetson tapped her, and she jolted slightly, turning to him.“What’s wrong? I’ve been calling you,” he said, sitting beside her.“I’m… I’m fine. What’s up?” she responded.“I didn’t see you in the cafeteria. Are you sure you’re okay? You were staring into space.”“I’m fine, S

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? Where are your shopping bags?” Raymond asked as the twins reached the parking lot."Just drive and stop asking silly questions,” Kaiden snapped, opening the door for Kailani. She quickly got in and buckled up. Raym

Eureka sat by Kailani's side on the bed after she regained consciousness. The therapist had to leave, advising Eureka to make the girl see reasons why she needed her service. Eureka promised to try."I'm sorry, Mom," Kailani apologized, her voice quiet."About what, honey? You did nothing wrong," Eureka said warmly.Kailani glanced at her, her eyes beaming with tears. "Mom, can I tell…you something?" she asked, her voice shaky."Always, sweetheart. I'm all ears."Kailani swallowed a lump, the ugly torture she was subjected to flashing through her mind. "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. "I'm here for you.""Mom, the principal…at my school connived with…with that…there was a woman, she was wicked to me," she stuttered, her body trembling slig

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. I can assure you that with her medication and therapy, she will be fine in due time. You just have to be patient with her, and make her feel safe again," he stated.Eureka took a dee

Eureka entered the doctor's office, gently closing the door behind her. “You asked to see me, doc. What's the condition of my daughter?" she asked, sinking into the visitor's chair opposite the doctor.The doctor sighed, closing the folder he was holding. “What I'm about to tell you is temporary, so relax, Miss Bennett," he said."I'm calm, doctor. Just assure me my daughter will be fine,” Eureka stated softly."Your daughter was diagnosed with Chlamydia.”"I don't even know what that means.”"It's a type of sexually transmitted disease, Miss Bennett,” the doctor said.Eureka's heart caught in her throat as she shifted forward on the chair, her stomach churning. "What…what are you saying?" she stuttered, her voice trembling.“We discovered signs of sexual abuse on your daughter. She had injuries around her genitals, bruises on her thighs and wrists. Trust me, Chlamydia is treatable,” he explained.Tears rolled down Eureka's cheeks. "You're saying that my daughter suffered sexual abuse

“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? She was cold; eerily cold. “Kayla, I'm here now, okay? I came to take you home. Are you listening? You have to say something to me. You have to get angry, to scold me, to tell me how disappointed you are. I should have protected you as I promised but I failed again. I'm sure you'll forgive me, so say something, please,” he begged, tears filling his eyes as he stared into her closed eyes."Kaiden?” Raymond called, barging into the room. He staggered closer, freezing on his spot."What's happening, Mr. Raymond? Why is she not responding to me?" Kaiden asked, his tone filled with sorrow as tears slipped out of his eyes.Raymond took a deep breath, composing him

"Slow down, goddamn it!" Kaiden yelled, his grip on the handle tightening as Raymond sped through the street. "I thought you enjoy speedy rides like this." Raymond smirked, not yielding to his request. "Says who?" "Says your passion, Jackie Chan," Raymond teased, a smug smile appearing on his face as he slowed down slightly, then pulled up in front of a mini bungalow. Kaiden stepped down, leaning against the car, catching his breath. "You see why I'll never like you?" Kaiden groaned, relaxing. "I only thought of treating my son to what he likes. Sorry if I made you fear," Raymond apologized, locking the car door. "Fear? You wish," Kaiden scoffed. "Where is this place?" he demanded. "Kaiden..." Raymond walked to Kaiden's side, meeting his serious eyes. "We're here to rescue your sister, that's if we haven't missed our chances yet. My candid advice is for you to follow my steps when we step into that house. They might be bad guys and I don't want to answer to your mom if y

Kaiden jumped back abruptly, landing on the hard floor with a thud as a black car swept past the spot he had stood just seconds earlier. Blood seeped from his elbow, which had been bruised by the rough marble floor. His head spun for a moment, his vision blurring. Hayley rushed forward, crouching beside him. “Kaiden, are you okay?” she asked, checking his arm. Kaiden regained himself, leaped to his feet, and pulled his hand away from her just as his driver ran over. "Don't touch me!” he snapped, startling Hayley, who trembled a bit. "Go inside!” "What did I do? Why are you mad at me?” Hayley asked, her voice shaking. "I said go inside! Don’t you listen?” he yelled, and she quickly rushed inside, locking the gate. “Are you fine?" Kaiden's driver asked. “Isn’t it obvious?" Kaiden retorted, walking back to the road. “Did you get the plate number? What car was it?" he asked as they crossed the road, this time looking carefully. “It’s a black Chevrolet, but I couldn’t get t
