ログイン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“That sounds like bull“ Williams retorted. “First, I don't need a bastard child like you try and tell me what to do and also, Father can't replace me with my own child““Even if that child is born, it's still going to take him years until he learns the ropes“ He went on. “By then, I would have made my comeback in the industry—and Father would be proud of me once again““As for Freya, I have enough resources on my own to find her and my child if I want to“ Williams continued. “I don't need your help““You two can settle thing between yourselves later but I called you—not the other way round. So you answer to me, Williams“ I say into the speaker. “If you could come out of your hiding to harm my mother, let's meet face-to-face to settle all this once and for all“ “If you're so eager to get me off your back, Alvara. Let's settle this through phone“ He replies. “Tell me. What can you possibly give me?“I scoffed. “What more do you want from me, Williams?““What if I tell you that I
AlvaraThe doctor swallowed hard. “Procainamide is a medication used to treat irregular heart rhythms but in excessive amounts, it can stop the heart completely““That's ridiculous“ Kayden blurts out. “You're saying someone walked into your hospital and killed our mother?““This drug can only be administered by authorized personnel—““Which is why you called us in to apologize“ I cut in. “You think one of your staff did it, don't you?“Trembling, he admits. “Yes“The doctor could have hidden this information to protect his hospital but instead, he'd told me the truth. “Can we see a list?“ I asked. He blinked. “A list?““Of everyone who had access to my mother. Doctors, nurses. Anyone who entered her room“He nods. “I can arrange that““Do it“ Kayden's frown deepened. “This is bullshit! You need to sue this hospital for medical malpractice!“Turning to face the doctor, he adds. “Do you understand what your hospital staff just pulled? You killed a patient. Your licence ought to be re
AlvaraBad things, they say, come in threes. First, I lost everything I built. My marriage, company, my home. Then, I lost Klein. As if life was trying to test me to see how far I could go—now, I'm losing my mother. “Hello?“ The feminine voice called out over the speaker. “Miss Alvara, are you still there?“My phone slips out of my hands as I fall to the ground. The last thing I hear before I totally blacked out was Kai's voice in a distance calling out to me. But that was it. When my eyes opened, I didn't need to be told I was in an hospital. I've been here so many times, I'd gotten used to the antiseptic smell already. Hurried footsteps approached. The door creaked open and Kai appeared, slightly out of breath. “Are you alright?“ He asked, voice tight with worry. Sitting upright slowly, I nodded. “I'm...“ My voice cracked. “My mother's gone, Kai. She passed away““I'm so sorry, Alvara. Let's go see her“I shook my head. “I don't know if I can. The last time we met...“Kai wr
Alvara“W-What did you just say?“ I stuttered. “Mother, let's not talk about this. Not right now. I'll go get the doctors and—“ Slowly, Mother removes her hand from mine. “If you're not going to leave him, then get out. I don't want to see you“I scoffed in disbelief. This wasn't what I wanted to hear from my own Mother in this moment. “Get some rest, Mother. Let's talk lat—““Don't come back here“ She cuts in, glancing away. “I don't want to see you“Seriously? Why had I been worried about her in the first place?“Okay. I won't come here again“I'd turned to leave when Mother chuckled and said. “To think I did this all for nothing“My eyes widened. “What? Don't tell me you got in an accident on purpose“ “I did“ She admits. “Kai had said if I wanted your marriage over, you needed to be the one to break it so I thought I'd get injured and get you to do as I sa—“ “Mom!“ I yelled in tears. “Stop this, please!“This was too much. Getting hurt on purpose just to ruin my marriage. “Do
KaiI tensed. “What do you mean you might have to pull the product out of the market just because of some few bad reviews, Davidson?“ I asked. “They could be fake for all we know“ “I know that, Kai“ Reed replies. “But half of the products already bought are being returned due to the review. There
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
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“
AlvaraI watched Kai's facial features hardened over the call. Who exactly could he be speaking with that had him so unsettled?Could it be another relative? Or perhaps work related? I was really eager to know. Hanging up, I tore my gaze away from him as he lets out a heavy sigh. “That was Willia
