ログインKAIFor a cockroach in the cartoon Lukas was watching, I ended up with a bruised forehead. “I'm sorry, baby,” Stein apologised for the 100th time as he changed the ice. “I shouldn't have sat up so fast.” He shot a glare at our son, who was now sitting silently in a corner. “It's not your fault.”“But —”“Stop apologising already.” I placed the ice pack on the table. “You have a bruise too,” I pointed out in case he had forgotten he'd been injured in the collision. “It's nothing compared to yours.” He rubbed it and smiled. “I'm okay.”“I never said you weren't okay.” I lay on the couch, with my face to the ceiling.While he scolded our son for being a softie, my mind drifted back to those cameras like it had been doing since our confrontation last night. I really wanted to believe him, but there was something plausible about his explanations. Why did he know to destroy them yesterday at the same time I found them?Why was he always a step ahead of everything I did? I really couldn
After breakfast, Kai went to bathe while I bathed and dressed our son. Kai joined him in the sitting room so I could freshen up. Yesterday, I'd had Mary settle things in the office. I had them close it for a week, since I intended to push up our fathers' funeral. I was yet to discuss it with Kai, but I was hoping he would accept the plan. I wanted them buried before the next weekend. Their burial wasn't the main reason I closed the office for a week. I wanted to stay at home and monitor Kai. I really needed to make sure he wouldn't meet Edward until Scorpion got to him. From the text Scorpion sent while I was dressing Lukas, Edward had gone back into hiding. He didn't return to either of his flats last night. And I couldn't possibly ask Kai where he was without raising suspicion.After bathing, I joined them in the sitting room. “You're not going to work?” Kai raised a brow when he noticed I wasn't putting on any suit. I was wearing faded jeans and his shirt. “No. There's somethin
STEINI ran my fingers through his hair as he slept, smiling down at my innocent husband. Once again, I managed to dodge an issue that would have escalated into more if I hadn't prepared ahead of time. Kai bought my words after a few fake tears. Thank fuck, I was prepared for it. Before I left for my office earlier, I had activated that tracker in his phone once more, and when he got that text from Edward, I received it. I had Scorpion sneak into that cafe to listen to them, and that was how I learned that Edward had discovered those cameras. That nosy bastard. How the hell did he even recover that footage? I thought I deleted them. I prepared ahead of time, knowing Kai would confront me the moment I returned home. He was just so predictable. My preventive measures saved me from a disastrous end. Without those things I destroyed, Kai would never have believed me. I just had to throw in a few heartbreaking words and fake-cry for him to let his guard down.“Baby,” I whispered, check
“Is that important?”“But you said you haven't heard from him? Did you lie to me? Was that —”“Why did you impersonate me to send a text to him?”He laughed bitterly. “I guess this is it. You're already suspecting me because of him.” He placed his palms on his thighs and drew in a breath. “I knew this would happen, yet I kept my faith. Guess my mind knew I was heading for disappointment.” He closed his eyes and drew in another breath. When he opened them, he smiled sadly. “Well… I did that to protect him.”“You —”“Not the attack since I wasn't the one who did that, but the impersonating you part. I knew some of Leon's enemies were after you guys. That was the main reason I took you to that safe house.”“You were trying to keep me safe? By hitting my friend and monitoring me —”“I wasn't the one who fucking hit him! It was Leon's enemies! I only impersonated you to keep him safe!”“But —”“I really don't get this, Kai.” He got up and took my hand. “I was trying to keep you both safe,
He blinked. "What???"“You heard me right, you creepy pervert. Why the hell did you have cameras installed in my home and office? Why were you fucking monitoring me??”“You saw that?” He whispered. “Shit, I should have known you would.” He walked over to the couch and sat on it. “I should have known you would see it,” he muttered, and I had this suspicion he was speaking to himself.I raised a brow. “You aren't denying it?”He shook his head and looked down. For a long, uncomfortable minute, he didn't say a word. When he looked up, his eyes were brimming with tears. “I apologise for keeping it from you, Kai,” he whispered as tears started streaming down his cheeks.Confused, I stared at him.What the fuck's going on? Why was he crying? This wasn't how I had envisioned it going. We were supposed to be arguing. We should be throwing angry words at each other as I uncovered the truth. But that wasn't happening. He was fucking crying!He sniffed. “I should have fought him when he asked me
If he had been watching me before we got together, what does that even mean?? And what should I do? A part of me wanted to confront him, but another part wanted to take things slowly, to smile at home while plotting to catch him in the actBut what if he already knew I saw those cameras? If he had been keeping tabs on them, he would surely know since I wasn't discreet when I ransacked the entire house for them.By the time he returned, I had decided on what to do. I was in the sitting room when he unlocked the door and came in. “Baby, I'm home,” he called out as he walked through the small passageway and came to the sitting room. He smiled when he saw me. “I'm sorry, I'm late.”Seeing how easily he smiled twisted my heart. I gritted back a response as I forced a smile. “Welcome.”He closed the distance between us, dropped his briefcase on the couch, before he leaned down and placed a kiss on my forehead. “I missed you, baby,” he groaned. “Did you miss me?”“What do you want to thin
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
KAIOnce again, I woke up to that depressing sight of cum sticking to my body. As if that weren't bad enough, there were also stains on the floor, and my reading desk, which I could have sworn was by my table, was in front of my bed, as if I had sat there before retiring to bed. The worst? I couldn
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
