How did they die?

He didn't tell me what he meant by his words. When I asked, he only exhaled and told me he needed to rest. I followed him into our room, where he had his bath, and went straight to bed. The second he fell flat on the bed, he dozed off. He must have been dead tired.

I stared at him for a few seconds, wondering what was going on. You don't look like you had a gang fight if you only went to work. It doesn't work that way unless there was strife.

I reached for his phone, which he kept on the beds

    “I need to go somewhere,” I told Stein when he returned with lunch. He frowned. “Where?” He placed the food flask on top of the cupboard. “Home?” He asked without looking at me. “Hmm.” I got up from the visitor's chair. “There's something I need to get.”“What's it?” He turned to look at me. “I can get it for you. Just stay with our son, and leave all errands to me.”I shook my head. “I doubt that would be necessary.” I placed my right hand on Lukas' forehead to check his temperature. Thank God he had stopped running a fever. “I'll just grab it fast and return.” I smiled. “You can say I need to breathe in some city air after being away for two weeks.”“Kai —”“Why?” I removed my hand from our son's forehead. “Is there any reason I shouldn't go home?” I raised a brow. “Did those people thrash our home?”I wouldn't put it past them. He shook his head. “Why would they? You did nothing wrong with them. Besides, Leon was the one who committed the murder, not you.” He walked over to my s

    I got up. “Who died?” I balanced Lukas in my arms. My heart started beating so fast as I walked over to him. He raised his hand. “Oh, I see. Thanks for letting me know,” he said before he disconnected. He looked at me and drew a step back. “They…” He took in a breath. “What's going on?” I asked, trying not to sound desperate and scared. His expression was scaring me. “Who died? What did Mary tell you?”I knew it was likely Mary who called, since she was the only one he always spoke to. He shook his head. “They…” He balled his hands into a fist. “Fuck!” He turned and hit his fist on the sink. The used plates rattled. Gulping, I walked over to him and placed my hand on his left shoulder. “What's going on? Please tell me, Stein. Who died? Why are you —”“Our fathers,” he dropped the bombshell. I drew a step back. “Wh… What did you say?” I gripped Lukas so tight, he yelped. “Sorry, baby.” I placed him on his feet. “You're lying, right?”He shook his head. “They're dead. Both committe

    He didn't tell me what he meant by his words. When I asked, he only exhaled and told me he needed to rest. I followed him into our room, where he had his bath, and went straight to bed. The second he fell flat on the bed, he dozed off. He must have been dead tired. I stared at him for a few seconds, wondering what was going on. You don't look like you had a gang fight if you only went to work. It doesn't work that way unless there was strife. I reached for his phone, which he kept on the bedside table, and swiped it. I knew he likely locked it, and I wasn't wrong. Since he used a PIN lock, I tried his birthdate, but it didn't work. I tried mine, then Lukas', but none worked. I even tried random numbers until I got that 'try again in 30 seconds' order.Stein didn't activate his fingerprint, so there was no way for me to unlock it with his fingerprints. It was my first time seeing someone who only had a PIN lock for a phone you can unlock with both your face and your fingerprint. Fr

  • Shadows Of Obsession: The Stalker's Prey   It's done

    KAI“Why do you have cameras in and outside the house?” I asked after a walk around the building and a visit to the garden. We spent almost an hour at the back, just looking at the various flowers. I didn't even know there was an awesome garden out there; otherwise, I would have camped out there most evenings. “For security purposes,” he responded, adjusting Lukas in his arms. He didn't let me carry Lukas because he claimed he was heavy and didn't want me to stress myself by carrying him. I had rolled my eyes when he said that. Most times, Stein treats me like a damsel in distress.“Even inside the house?”I'd always wondered why there were cameras everywhere you looked. Thankfully, there were none in the room. I checked. If there were, I would have flipped. “Hmm.” He started for the front door. “Let's take another walk tomorrow, okay?”“It's a date.”He turned back at that and smiled. “You know, we haven't really gone out on an actual date before.”I frowned. “But we've eaten —”

    STEIN “You need to find him!” I gritted out, stabbing the cutting board with a knife. “How the hell did he slip past you? I only gave you one fucking job, Scorpion. Keep him in the hospital and away from Kai!”“I… I'm sorry, boss,” he stuttered. “I really didn't expect him to escape. I had him —”“Find him. I don't care if you tear the entire city apart. Find him!” “I will, boss.”“You have until Sunday before we return. I don't want them to meet, ever!” I rubbed my hand on my forehead. Scorpion really knew how to get on my nerves.“Should we silence him for good, boss?”“No.” I puffed out a breath and walked over to the kitchen island. Leaning on it, I tried to regulate my breathing. “Don't hurt him. You can keep him in a coma until I sort things out with Kai. Until then, I don't need anyone spoiling my business.”“On it, boss.”“I expect good news soon!” I disconnected.Fuck Scorpion and his clumsy ways. I only asked him to stake out at the fucking hospital and make sure Edward do

    KAI“We're going home on Sunday.”They were the first words I heard when I opened my eyes. Blinking, I stared at Stein, who was looking at me. “Good morning,” I muttered and sat up on the bed. Yawning, I stretched before glancing at him. I rubbed my fingers in my eyes, frowning. When did he return to the room? I was awake until midnight. Did he sneak in when I was asleep so I wouldn't jump his bones? I didn't ask him that; instead, I chose to talk about the present. “What did you just say?”I really didn't quite catch his words even though I heard Sunday and home.He sat up on the bed. “I'll take you and Lukas home on Sunday. I'm sorry, but I don't think you'll be present for your dad's hearing. I'll have Mary —”“Thank you!” I hugged him. He stiffened at my touch before he relaxed. “You don't have to thank me.” He rubbed my back gently. “I understand your need to return home. We've stayed away from home for almost two weeks now.”“True.”We hadn't gone home since that day we went t

    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

    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
