........Kira's pov......
I smirked as an idea came to my mind.
"I'll treat him on one condition" I said and mr Adam glared at angrily.
"Seriously? You're asking for a favor at this crucial moment?!" One of the guard blurted.
Mr Adam raised his hand over his face telling him to keep shut.
I gulped as he bored his eyes into mine.
"I'll save him only if you promise never to kick me out no matter the circumstance" I said folding my hands.
I was expecting a long section of argument with them but it seemed luck was on my side the minute mr Adam spoke out.
"Done now attend to him" he said and walked back into the mansion.
I carried Brandon into my arms and rushed inside while the guards brought in my luggage for me.
I headed for Brandon's bedroom and dropped him on the bed. I was about to head to the bathroom when Brandon stopped shaking.
Huh?
He sat up on the bed and rubbed his eyes. I stared at him speechless and gob smacked.
"Brandon! You're alright" I said but it sounded more like a question.
He smiled and jumped up on the bed.
"My plan worked auntie Kira!" He beamed really excited.
"Hold on, this was a plan?" I asked blinking rapidly.
He nodded.
"I know dad would tell you to stay and treat me. I don't know why he's always yelling at me but whenever I get sick, he's worried and cares for me" he said and I smiled.
"Am just glad you're okay. I can't believe you put on an act for me. You're so sweet Brandon" I said and ruffled his hair.
He chortled and fell on the bed.
"Can you read me a bed time story and also sleep here with me?" He asked and I shrugged.
"Alright fine...that's your reward for saving me from going out in the cold night" I said as I sat on the bed beside him.
We covered our legs with a blanket before Brandon handed me a picture book. I opened it and began reading a story for him - Beauty and the Beast.
One of my favourite stories when I was younger.
I chucked as I imagined mr Adam being the beast while am beauty.
He'll kill me for sure if he learns that I think of him as a beast.
But he thinks women are witches So it's kind of fair.
Wait a second...the beast later fell deeply Inlove with the beauty.
Hmm.
No way!
The mr Adam I know has no feelings at all.
.......Adam's pov......
i stood far away as the house cleaner who is a male mopped the exact spot Kira was hiding when I caught them in my room.
She irritates me damn much but now I have to put up with her crap since I promised not to get rid of her.
"Here, spray this" I said and handed him a spray sanitizer can.
he took it from me and sprayed it around the place.
I don't want any trace of that clumsy doctor in my own bedroom.
Not a single trace..
"Are you done?" I asked him knowing fully well he was done.
he nodded and picked up his cleaning equipment.
I gave way and he walked past me leaving the room..
That doctor!
Who does she think she is??
Am glad She've relieved me from my little burden - Brandon but I still don't like her.
She's stubborn and too inquisitive and now am stuck with her till they find a cure for Brandon's sickness.
I hired special doctors to find an antidote to cure Brandon.
He's still very young and am doing everything to make him well before he grows bigger and the devilish sickness becomes a part of his body and he has to live with it forever...
No!
Am not going to let that happen of course.
I got on my bed and laid on it staring at the ceiling.
What do I do about Kira?
I hired thugs that'll come tomorrow and torture her.
Well...for humiliating me at the hospital.
But then, am beginning to pity that witch. She just saved Brandon's life. She doesn't deserve to be punished more already.
I'll have to tell the boys to lay low for now but if she tries one more annoying step, I'll have no choice but to call on the boys and believe me, this no ordinary punishment.
I turned on my bed and I felt something...unusual.
I touched around the bed feeling little lumps on it.
Who have been jumping on this bed???
Oh!
Brandon.
That little rascal.
I sighed and laid back on the bed.
I'll forgive him because he had an attack tonight but next time, he won't be so lucky.
I closed my eyes to sleep before I heard thunder roar outside. It began raining instantly.
I saw a figure at the window.
What could that be now?
I walked to the window to see a white cat at my balcony just shivering. It was wet.
I shrieked.
How on earth did it get up here?
It looked at me with it's huge deceptive eyes. I raised my hands up to the curtains and closed it.
I am no animal lover! .
I walked back to my bed, switched the room light to red and slept off.
.......Kira's pov......I was almost way into dreamland when I heard a faint cry outside.My eyes flared open and I sat up on the bed looking around. Brandon was fast asleep beside me.I glanced at the window.A white cat!Oh my...It was raining outside and it looked drenched. I rushed to it and opened the window. It couldn't even move.I carried the cutie inside the room and dropped it on the table as it shivered.Where did this white angel come from??I took a towel and wrapped him up drying him with it.I carried it into my arms and patted it's nice white fur."Me...ow" it said softly and I couldn't help but giggle.Its so adorable and awfully cute!Aww.I dropped him on the table and took some blankets from Brandon's wardrobe. I made a little bed for him. Comfy and warm before dropping him inside it.He curled and slept off.I returned to the bed and slept off.**Next_morning**........Mr Adam's pov.......I was already dressed up for work before I glanced at the calender and dis
........Kira's pov.........I was at the back seat in the car while Brandon was at the front seat with his father.Brandon increased the volume of the song playing. Mr Adam turned the song off completely and continued driving.I rolled my eyes at him.He's the main kill joy.He glanced at me through the front mirror and I stuck out my tongue and shook my head doing a childish act.He glared at me before taking his eyes back to the road. We got to the park and stepped down from the car.Brandon and I followed his father who was heading straight to an ice cream vendor. He bought us ice cream and we sat on a table.Brandon began licking his ice cream immediately while I licked mine slowly.Mr Adam just sat on his seat away from me operating his phone."Dad, can I have your ice cream too?" Brandon asked and his father glared at him.He carried his plate of ice cream and shifted it closer to himself on the table."I rather pour it away than give you more. When did you become greedy Brandon
...........Kira's pov..........He finally got the cat off his face and rushed to the window. He threw the cat all his might and I guess it flew far away.Oh!That must hurt.Mr Adam turned and I saw a scratch by his cheek. It was bleeding."Who let that cat into this mansion?" He asked sternly glaring at me.I began to stutter."It...it was cold and sick" I stammered."What is wrong with you?? Can you ever stay a second without causing trouble!??" He yelled."Yelling at me doesn't change anything mr Adam just tell me where the first aid..."He raised his hand signalling me to stop talking.I kept shut."Get out of my room cause the more second you stay here, the more am pushed to scratch your face" he stressed out."Yeish sir, are you now a cat?" I asked pouting.He shot me a stare that delivered a message. I quickly ran out of the room...........Mr Adam's pov.......Can this day get any worse?.First I touched the doctor and now I just fought with a cat.Geez,I went to the bathroo
......Kira’s pov.....We walked into his office and he headed over to his table.“Kira…come here” he said and I moved over to him.I wasn’t so close either.He opened the document on the table and flipped the pages.Believe me, I was so curious about what he wanted to show me.He breathed out with his gaze fixed on the papers.“He’s dying Kira” he dropped the bombshell and I cringed.What…what does he mean?“I don’t understand. Who’s dying?” I asked as my eyes welled up.He sighed.“Brandon is dying. According to the last check up his personal doctor conducted. One or two more attacks might take his life” he paused and looked at me deep in the eyes.My tears were becoming much but I didn’t make a sound.“I just told you cause he’ll leave us soon so you should pack your bags and get ready to leave. You can as well use the remaining days or weeks and do all things you’d want to do with him” he said and turned his back on me.“You can leave now”.I ran out of the office barely seeing whe
.............Kira's pov ............His tongue parted my lips and I felt the warmth of his mouth.Wait a minute...His neck was hot and it seemed like he was burning up. I pulled away from the intense kiss and stared into his face."What?" He asked as I touched his forehead with my palm.So hot...."Mr Adam...I think you're falling ill. Am a pediatrician but am sure you're coming down with a fever" I said wide-eyed.He scoffed and moved away from me."You don't know what you're saying. I don't fall sick" He retorted grumpily."If you're not falling then you're already sick" I replied and he glared at me.No wonder he kissed me.He has fever. For a moment there I thought he had actually fallen in love with me."You're not funny witch. Just...just help me back to my...." He paused and stared at me.Why's he looking at me like an suddenly growing two heads??"What are you staring at?" I asked getting uncomfortable.But then...He's not looking at me - he's looking at my chest.He bit hi
............Kira's pov...........I mumbled somethings still asleep. A harsh Ray of light reflected on my closed eyes but I didn't opened them just yet.This is one hell of a bed. I would have called it heaven on Earth.Suddenly, I felt drops of water on my eyes...huh?Is Mr Adam's roof leaking???More water rested on my face and am forced to sit up wide-eyed.Mr Adam stood there holding a jug filled with water. He stared at me sardonically."Mr Adam...good..." I paused when I realized it was useless greeting him."Why did you do this?" I asked wiping my wet face."What sort of stupid question is that? I wake up to find you on my bed and you still had the fu-king guts to question me?! Get off my bed!!!" He rasped and I flinched astonished."Mr Adam--" He cut me off by raising his hand in front of me."Get your butt off my bed first!" He ordered and I jumped out from the bed."But Mr Adam...you asked me to sleep beside you last night. You even held me in your sleep" I said overwhelmed
............ Kira's pov...........I've never been in such an exotic and beautiful restaurant in my entire life. The whole place was lit and there was a huge chandelier lights at the center of the place. I was so engrossed in admiring the place, I forgot I had company.*Kira!* I heard and flinched.Mr Adam was staring at me with those cold eyes of his."Place your order" He said icily and I took the menu."Daddy, i want chicken wings with lots of pepper" Brandon said excitedly and the waiter took note."Don't add much pepper. Put the one acceptable for a four years old" Mr Adam said to the waiter."I'm not so hungry. Can I get just wine?" I ordered and the waiter nodded."What kind of wine?" He asked and I stared at him clueless of the name or type of wine we got..."Get Ivy's best red wine" Mr Adam chipped in with his eyes fixed on me."Alright sir" The waiter said and wentnon his way walking as fast as possible.I gulped feeling uncomfortable with the way Mr Adam was looking at me.
..........Kira's pov ..........I took Mr Adam's hand and led him out of the basement.I'm surprised that he didn't do his 'social distance thing'.We got to the living room and I turned to him with my arms folded."You intend on beating that innocent man with your son around?" I asked sternly."He's used to it" He replied with a grin.I scoffed."No matter how hard you try, Brandon is still going to be a sweet and kind little boy" I said smiling."Who's going to die very soon" He said with a doleful look.Oh...He has to stop saying such about Brandon."Why can't you be positive for once? Miracles do happen Mr Adam" I stated and he rolled his eyes."I need you to go to the gatepost and tell the guards to wash my two cars this night" He ordered and my jaw dropped."It's already late Mr Adam!" I rasped and he glanced at me.I quickly looked down."I'll be on my way now" I muttered and left the house.How can Mr Adam be so cruel???.........Mr Adam's pov ........I smirked as she left t
