LOGINKaiOnce again, I decided to put my trust in the public. With a meeting like this with Father, of course he was bound to slip up when he thought it was just us. Which is why I'd allowed reporter Benny through the back door to record everything. Hopefully, he'd gotten father's confession.Kayden frowned. “You hurt your own son?““This fucker has only caused me more harm than good. He's a disappointment“ Quinn admits. “I brought him injured before the press but I didn't say anything about who had hurt him. All I was trying to do was give off the impression that since he was hurt, the footage released was fake“ “And you think people bought it?“ I asked. “Of course. If they didn't, the tables wouldn't have turned so much this way““Did you get that reporter Benny?“ I asked. Reporter Benny comes out from his hiding spot. “Got it, Mr Foley“Father stared at the reporter in shock. “What are you—““You just admitted to harming your son and staring that the security footage previous releas
Alvara“I believe my son, Williams is innocent“ Quinn Foley says to the reporter. “As we all know, this could be a plan devised by both Kai and Alvara to damage my son's reputation““Do you really believe they'd both go through the hassle of creating a fake footage just to mess with you, Mr Foley?“ The reporter asked Father. “Yes, I do“ Quinn replied. “For one, Kai isn't my biological son. This is a secret I've kept hidden for a long time now“She gasped. “This is huge. Why would you suddenly want to reveal such a big secret at a time like this?““Because it's human nature to be greedy“ Quinn concludes. “I saw this greed in Kai after he coveted his own brother's ex-wife. Prior to that, I'd cut him loose off everything that tied him down to the Foley family name““So, you are saying this is Kai's way of retaliating to being cut off from the family line?““I have every reason to believe that's what it is but my decision would be made after proper investigation has been made regarding t
KaiThe live ended with 100,000 viewers tuned in. Plus, the video was reshared by half that number. With the help of the public, this case was impossible to ignore. “Check this out, guys“ Janice says, shoving her phone screen in our faces. It had the news reporter announcing that numerous press were stationed at the front of Quinn's house to get him to reveal the whereabouts of Williams. “We did it!“ Iris squeals, exchanging a high five with Janice. “You see what I told you, Kai? It's only a matter of time before your Quinn gives off Williams location. Never underestimate the power of the public“It wasn't that easy. Quinn Foley was a man that would rather die than turn over his only son to the cops. But for now, let me watch how things play out. “Thanks for both your help Janice and Iris“ I say to both of them. “I'll be leaving now—““So fast“ Janice cuts in, raising her eyebrow at me. “Don't you have something you'd like to say to your sister?“I groaned. “Iris, can I talk to y
Kai“But if you're going to do this, I want to be there to watch it happen“ I continued. “You want to publicly wage war against your family?“ Iris asked. “They are not my family“ I correct. “And besides, they messed with my family first““If you say so, cowboy. Then get over here“ Hanging up, I take a quick look at Alvara sleeping soundly before leaving the house. The cab ride to the address Iris sent me was short. Iris and Janice were already at the entrance of the forest by the time I'd gotten there. They seemed to have been discussing something important. “You're early“ Janice says. “You didn't have to be here, you know. Alvara needs you“ “I want to“ I strongly declared. “This is where I draw the line against my family. And what about you? Doing this could cause a huge impact for FashionXpress“ “Impact or not, I'm just doing what's right“ Janice concludes. “Also, I never liked you Foleys—not like any of this is out a personal grudge or something. It's for Alvara to finally c
KaiI arrived at the bar within minutes of Janice sending me the address. “I'm so sorry, Kai“ She apologized, passing a drunk Alvara over to me . “I thought she could handle it. I didn't know Alvara was such a light weight. I swear, she had just one glass“I nod. “Honestly, this is my first time seeing her drink“She'd once told me she hated people coming home drunk as it reminded her of Williams. “Anyway...“Janice gaze falls on Iris. “Oh, damn. I didn't realize we had guests. I'm Janice Walters““I know you are“ Iris stretches forth her hand. “I'm Iris Bosque. A content creator and Kai's sister“She accepts her handshake. “It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Bosque“Turning to me, she says. “Once more, I apologize for the state Alvara is in. My intentions were just for her to unwind a bit—“ “I'm not upset“ I cut in. “Rather, I should thank you for being there when she needed a friend. I appreciate it““It was not a problem“Turning to Iris, I say. “Come on, let's g—““Oh. Can I have
Kai“Mr Foley, your next meeting is—“ “Jamie. Out“ I command. “Y-Yes sir“ As soon as Jamie left, I let out a frustrated sigh. But you couldn't possibly blame me. Call me petty or whatnot but I had every right to be upset—especially after hearing Williams say he wanted Alvara back. What gave him the fucking right to say that? He was a fool if he thought I was going to let go of her. “Yet you left home this morning while she was still asleep“ I murmured. “Way to go, Kai““You don't look so good“ A familiar feminine voice says. Looking up, my gaze falls on Iris, a childhood female friend of mine since our days at the children's orphanage home. After I'd gotten adopted by Quinn Foley, I didn't really know much about how Iris life had turned out but she'd video called me earlier at home this morning. I was both excited and happy to see her. Her brown hair had now turned scarlet red. “You look good, Iris“ I commend. “Are you not going to hug me, Kai?“ Her lips twitched. “That's dis
Alvara“Miss Alvara—!“ “Mr Kai—!“ The reporters calls out, rushing after us but we don't come to a stop until we got into the car. Closing the door behind us, Kai drives off. Letting out a relieved sigh, I say. “That was one of the most terrifying moments of my life“He chuckled, “You did good“
KaiFuck. I hadn't expected Father to show up at my door since after all he didn't come to the wedding. “Make me bang my fist on this door one more time, Kai Foley and I swear I will—“ I jerked the door knob open, “Lower your voice, father. My wife is-“ Father silence me with a hard smack agains
AlvaraKai walked back into the dining room. Face calm but jaw tight. “Who was it?“ I asked, quietly. “My Father“ I froze. Whenever Quinn Foley visited Kai, the result was always predictable and awful. “Did he say something that upset you?“ I asked. “You don't look so good““Tell me, Alvara. Wa
AlvaraMother's words felt like a blow to my chest. A reminder that I wasn't the victim but rather the cause of my failed marriage. “You're right, Mother“ I admit. “I married Williams despite you and father's disapproval so I had to make the marriage work like you said““And I tried to do that“ I
