KAI

I tried so hard to be a loving husband. It wasn't easy at first. I had to remember to smile at him and to kiss him any chance I got. Oddly enough, the more I did it, the more it felt natural. I even started thinking of it in the same way I did with Lukas.

Still, despite all the care I gave him, he slipped in the bathroom on Wednesday night. I'd just gone into the room to get a towel because I forgot to take one with me when he slipped and fell. And he had to fucking fall on his injured sid

  • Shadows Of Obsession: The Stalker's Prey   Regrets?

    STEINIt worked. Mary was about to go home because it was late when she saw Kai walking down the hallway. An idea came to my mind the moment she turned back to tell me my husband was coming. I laughed loud enough for the sound to reach the hallway even though there was nothing funny. When the door slammed open and Kai's face appeared flushed and furious, I knew the hook was set.I guess it helped a lot. Kai started treating me better than usual. His kisses on my cheeks every morning weren't forced anymore. And he actually took over my work. He worked from the hospital, claiming he wouldn't concentrate well if he left me with Lukas. Talking about Lukas, we agreed over the next few days to enrol him in kindergarten. With Kai returning to work, and me incapacitated, he would be lonely at home. I suggested it casually over breakfast, framing it as being best for Lukas. Kai agreed immediately because he was relieved to have one less thing to worry about. I was relieved to have one less c

  • Shadows Of Obsession: The Stalker's Prey   Feeling petty

    I returned to the hospital after preparing dinner. I wasn't trying to think of Leon, but my mind didn't seem to know I wanted to forget about it. And each time I remembered that I didn't have a part in my father's will, my heart would squeeze dangerously. If only Leon hadn't died foolishly, I would have sought him out with the anger brewing in me, to give him a piece of my mind.Nearer to Stein's hospital room, I paused when I heard his laughter. I froze on my steps. Stein's actually laughing? I'd never heard him laugh out loud like that before. Frowning, I walked forward and looked into the room through the glass on the door. Stein was sitting up, with Lukas sleeping soundly, with his head on Stein's thighs. Mary was sitting on a chair, laughing with Stein over something only they knew. My stomach twisted the more I watched them. Stein looked so happy and free with her.Unconsciously, I tightened my hand on the bag that contained our dinner and gritted my teeth so hard I almost sna

    KAII tried so hard to be a loving husband. It wasn't easy at first. I had to remember to smile at him and to kiss him any chance I got. Oddly enough, the more I did it, the more it felt natural. I even started thinking of it in the same way I did with Lukas. Still, despite all the care I gave him, he slipped in the bathroom on Wednesday night. I'd just gone into the room to get a towel because I forgot to take one with me when he slipped and fell. And he had to fucking fall on his injured side. I rushed him to the hospital that night, and he was admitted after I got an earful from the doctor, who kept asking why I left him alone in the bathroom knowing he wasn't fit. Stein defended me as much as he could, but I felt the doctor was right. If I had been careful enough, he wouldn't have returned to the hospital a few days after leaving it. With Stein hospitalised, I had to handle the funeral. Overseeing two funerals wasn't easy. I had to leave Lukas at the hospital with Mary, who ca

  • Shadows Of Obsession: The Stalker's Prey   Making peace with Lukas

    Just like he promised, Kai did something he had never done before. I was sitting on the couch when he woke up. Yawning, he walked into the sitting room, stretching. “Good morning.” I smiled at him.He smiled and walked over to me. He wrapped his hands around my neck and placed a kiss on my right cheek. I froze at the touch, stunned by that. Kai had never been this proactive. “What's wrong?” He frowned. “I just…” Blinking, I swallowed. “You kissed me?”“And?” He removed his hands from my neck and walked around the couch. “Is there anything wrong with that?” He took the throw pillow and placed it on his thighs as he sat next to me.“You haven't done that before.” He raised a brow. “I haven't?” I shook my head. The frown on his face turned into a smile. “Then you need to start getting used to it because from now on, I'll be kissing you good morning.”He was trying. He was acting the part of a loving husband, and I didn't care whether it was real as long as he kept playing it.My li

  • Shadows Of Obsession: The Stalker's Prey   A confession?

    STEINHe fucking poured my recipe down the drain just to follow Edward's instead. When he brought the spoon to my lips, I thought of all the ways I could make Edward disappear. I settled for refusing the soup for now because I still didn't know where that fucker was. Wait until I get my hands on him…I wasn't planning on killing him, though. Kai wouldn't let the case die. He would want to investigate the truth. What I needed to do now, more than ever, was to make him pause the investigation. I offered to make him my proxy to ensnare him. I wanted him to get used to working in my company so he wouldn't refuse when I offered him a permanent solution. A merger. One company, one name and one life. He wouldn't even realise he'd signed away his escape route.But I feel like it wasn't enough to get his trust. I'd gotten his sympathy and guilt, but it wasn't enough. Getting him to drop that investigation was what I wanted more than anything else. But how do I do that?“How do you feel so en

  • Shadows Of Obsession: The Stalker's Prey   I trust you

    I hit the brake so hard, it almost sent him flying out. Thank God for seatbelts. “Are you trying to kill yourself?!” He frowned. “You could have gotten injured!”“I'm not.” I shot him a glare before I turned to check on our son. Thankfully, he was still properly strapped. “Worry about yourself.”His frown deepened. “You're all I worry about. I don't care about myself and what happens to me. I only care about you.” He reached out to touch my face. “Were my words just now shocking?”“Of course!”“I only asked you to work for me.”I arched a brow. “In your office?”“Hmm.” He leaned back in his seat. “I can't work like this. The doctor said I would need to stay at home for at least a month. So, I'll need you to work for —”“Wait, a damned minute.” I raised my palm. “How so? You want me to act like the CEO?”He shook his head. “No, not CEO. I need you to be me, Kai—my proxy. I want you to be my voice in meetings I can't attend, and my signature on documents. I trust you with my company be

    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

  • Shadows Of Obsession: The Stalker's Prey   While he sleeps...

    STEIN“I think it's time for you to settle down, Stein,” Dad said, his sharp voice cutting through the phone the second I took his call. “You're 25, and that's old enough to have a family. Your mother and I have found the perfect partner for you. We have a family dinner with them on Friday, and 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

    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
