Mag-log inSTEINHe 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
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
KAIMy heart broke as I watched him sleep. Each time he tried to turn in his sleep, he would wince, and whenever that happened, my heart would squeeze in guilt. This wouldn't have happened to him if he hadn't gone out to get medicine for me. He would have been safe at home if not for that bloody headache that mysteriously disappeared when I heard the news of his accident. It was quite odd, though, but I figured my worry for him made it vanish. I rubbed my fingers between my eyebrows as I rocked Lukas to sleep. He had been strangely docile, and aside from his cry of hunger earlier, he hadn't made a peep. When I was certain he was asleep, I carried him to the bed the nurses brought for him before I dragged my chair close to Stein's bed so I could watch him properly. I reached out, careful not to wake him. I wanted to touch the white gauze wrapped around his right hand, but I was afraid it would hurt him if I did so.“I'm sorry,” I whispered, looking at his face. Had Stein always bee
STEINIt freaking hurts, but it was worth it when Kai rushed into the hospital with our son in his arms, looking like he was seconds from fainting. His face was tear-streaked, and his eyes were so puffy that I knew he'd likely cried on his way here.“Stein!” He rushed over to me. He placed Lukas on the bed and knelt in front of me. “What happened? How did you get involved in an accident? Did you get any wounds? What was —”“I think I sprained my ankle,” I whispered, sounding as pained as I should be. “I also have wounds all over my body.” I gestured to my right hand with my left. “The doctor said I was lucky it wasn't broken. It would be good after a few days.”“Christ!” He closed his eyes and drew in a shaky breath. When he opened his eyes, he let out a breath of relief. “I'm glad you're alive.” He placed his hand on my left hand, which was the only one without a bandage.Even though the wound wasn't that bad, I made the doctor bandage my right hand and right leg so it would look lik
It had been four days since I met with my half-brothers, and we had kicked off the preparations. I chatted with Albert about the Funeral preparations, while Stein did the physical jobs like going to the locations and setting everything up. I still spoke with Edward, but it was mostly about how we could get the company back on its feet. I still had some money in my account, but that wouldn't be enough to take us back to how things were before Leon's tax evasions were discovered. And I really didn't want to ask Stein for help, not that I was confident he could. We were, after all, suffering almost the same thing. Even though he still had his company running since he removed that from Jonas' company, I doubted he had much to spare. Stein was currently making dinner with Lukas, who constantly kept asking for the ingredients. From the sitting room, I could hear him talking and chuckling whenever Stein said or did something funny. I rubbed my index finger on my forehead and let out a si
His mouth moved over mine like he was relearning me. And as he kissed me, his hips moved again. He pulled almost all the way out before pushing back in, inch by inch, until he was seated inside me again.I gasped against his mouth, my hands fisting in his hair.“Fuck,” I breathed. “Stein, you feel—”“Good?” He pressed his forehead against mine.“Like you're taking me apart,” I confessed. “Like you're putting me back together differently.”He groaned as he increased his pace. He didn't thrust in fast; he was still gentle as he moved inside me like he had all the time in the world, and every second of this night was a gift he intended to unwrap slowly.His cock dragged against my walls, the angle just right, and I felt the pleasure coil low in my belly. It was like a slow burn instead of a wildfire, building by inches instead of all at once.“You're so tight,” he murmured against my throat. “So hot. I can feel you clenching around me.”“Stein,” I sobbed. “Please—”“Please what?” His hip
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
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
