로그인STEIN I got Scorpion's call an hour later. I sat up in my chair, ready for good news. “So, did you find her?” I fought the urge to smirk, waiting for him to give me the news. My evening was fucking made. There was a pause from his side before I heard him exhale loudly. “I'm sorry, boss, but we lost her.”I sat up in my chair, and the smile on my face was wiped instantly. “What?!”“We got there late, and by the time I arrived, she had already checked out," he explained. “She checked out of the hotel? Why?”“I don't know, sir, but we discovered something.”“What is it?”“Your husband visited her before that.” I shot up in my chair. “Kai did?”“Yes, sir. We checked the hotel footage, and that's when I saw him. He spent some time in her room before he left. Then a few minutes later, Miss Anna was seen leaving the hotel premises.”Fuck!I ran my fingers through my hair. Why the hell did Kai go to her? What did they fucking talk about??Could things get any more out of control??? I felt
KAIWhat was I doing here? I had asked myself this a few times in my car downstairs before I stepped out. I shouldn't be here. I shouldn't be concerned about Stein's affairs, yet here I was, standing in front of her door. I'd heard her give Stein the address because I was leaning against the door, eavesdropping. I wanted to know if Stein would change his attitude with me gone. He didn't, but that didn't ease my suspicion. Puffing out a breath, I knocked on the door. Anna took her time before she opened it without even asking who was on the other side of the door. Her brows shot up when she saw me, and her lips pulled up in a smile. “Well, well, well, who do we have here?” She folded her arms and leaned on the wall next to the door. “You know, I was expecting Stein, not you. What are you doing here?”“Can I have your son's hair for a DNA test?” I asked, going straight to the point. She pursed her lips. “Why should I give you that?”I frowned. “Don't you want to prove his paternity
STEIN Kai didn't even spare me a glance during breakfast this morning. He fussed over our son while he ate and ignored me when I asked how the meal was. It was as if I wasn't existing. He practically looked through me once when I said his name a little too loudly. To make matters worse, he drove his car to work instead of taking mine. I'd been looking forward to his first day back at the office, only for that damned bitch Anna to spoil it for me. Kai had left with our son after breakfast, without even a word to me, and when I went to his office, he'd ignored me too. It was obvious he wouldn't be giving me any attention until I'd sorted everything out with Anna. Talking about that bitch. I'd called Scorpion earlier this morning to ask about the progress, but none of them had any good news. “Damn it!” I hit my fist on the desk. “Why are things spiralling out of fucking control?!” I tugged hard on my hair and gritted my teeth. This wasn't how everything was supposed to be! I got
KAI“Can I be formal with you?” Edward requested after I gave him details of what happened between Stein and me. I'd just started work this morning, but my secretary-turned-friend wasn't in any hurry to give me my work schedule because he wanted to know everything that had happened to me from the time I disappeared until now. It had been almost two months since we last saw each other. We had only ever spoken on the phone. I nodded. “Go ahead.”He drew in a breath and levelled a glare at me. “You're an idiot.”I blinked. “Pardon?”He nodded. “You're a fucking Idiot! Why the hell are you still living with Stein after everything he did to you? He practically caused the accident to keep you by his side!” He yelled. “I —”“I'm not done.” He raised his hand. “I really need to get this off my chest.” He sat on the chair opposite me and still kept his eyes on mine. “How the hell could someone change this drastically in just a few months of being married? This isn't the Kai I knew.”“I —”“I
“It's not.” I shook my head. “I don't know what she's claiming, baby. I didn't do it. I don't know how that's possible,” I said, and my voice cracked despite my certainty. “I don't know who she is. I don't know who that boy is. But I know—I know—I never touched her. I never touched anyone.”I had never been attracted to anyone before Kai, so why would I sleep with her?“You were drunk,” Anna hissed. “Even if you don't remember, that doesn't mean it didn't happen.”“I wasn't drunk,” I snapped. I turned to Kai, pleading. “You know this. You've never seen me drunk. I've only ever drunk wine with you, and then, that one time when you left me, and I wanted to forget my pain.”Kai's expression didn't shift at all. “I know that's true, but...” He looked at Ethan and gulped, then shook his head.“Kai!” I reached for him, but he drew a step back and shook his head. Anna, seeing an opportunity, reached into her purse and pulled out a stack of photographs, which she placed on the coffee table.
I froze in my seat when I heard those words. For a good few seconds, I didn't say a word until the security guard called my attention to him. Blinking, I looked towards Mrs Sturm. “I think we'll be stopping here today,” I said before I turned the laptop off and got to my feet. “Tell her I'll meet her downstairs,” I said to the security man and disconnected. Kai peered into the kitchen. “What's wrong?”I shook my head. “It's nothing. I need to check something downstairs real quick. I'll be back.”He frowned. “What is it?”“I...” I rubbed my hand on the back of my neck. “Someone is looking for me downstairs. I'll go check who the person is and come up.”He raised a brow. “Who's it?”“I don't know the person,” I answered truthfully. I really didn't know who the damned woman was, and how she would claim she had my son with her. His frown didn't ease at all. “Why don't you invite them up?”I paled. “Schatz, I doubt that's proper.” The last thing I wanted was for Kai to misunderstand. I n
KAII woke up after a disturbing sleep, grunting as I sat up in bed, only to freeze when I noticed the patch on my shorts. You've got to be fucking kidding me!I lifted the waistband and took a glance. Did I freaking have a wet dream? Impossible! The last time I had those was years ago when I was
KAIThe rest of the week went by in a blur. By the time Friday knocked on my door, I was drained. I'd stayed awake two nights, thinking of the bloody truce marriage and how to get the fuck out of it. I wasn't like Dad, who thought we needed this. We don't. We have been surviving all these years wit
STEINThe night masked me as I watched him, hidden in a corner, my camera ready to take more pictures. He was just as cute as always, dressed in a custom-made suit, his hair slicked back, and his strides long and precise. I'd watched him get ready. The way the water cascaded down his naked back as
KAIHis mouth found mine, stealing the questions on the tip of my tongue. Stein's hands were in my hair and on my jaw. He cupped my face like he was afraid I'd disappear if he let go. I didn't care. I kissed him back, and my fingers twisted in his collar to pull him closer. The taste of him flooded
