Katherine had been holding on to his hand from the moment they got out of the car. She was holding it too tight for him to not be bothered. “Katherine.” He let out a harsh sigh and pulled his hand to tuck of hers. “Enough, she’s not going to eat you alive.” “Then would she, if I am dead first?” She asked and shot him a glare. He sighed again and just let it go. He brought his hand up and formed a fist to knock on the door. Knock. Knock. “Are we expecting a guess?” Jilly asked Cayned with a frown. It was dinner time, were people not aware of that to visit someone’s house?                                “Maybe,” Cayne shrugged. He ha

“Where’s Cayne?” Jilly asked aloud to anyone that could hear her. She needed him, where was he when she woke up? He was not beside her and not waking her up. She had a problem with that. “You should not scold him, child. He was just opening the door for me.” Mariah tried to spare her son-in-law. Jilly was known best for her torture in many ways and she would not back down or back away from it when she was determined to do the job. “I was just asking about him, Mama Ria. Is it wrong?” Jilly turned to Mariah again who had a worried look. She did feel guilty a little bit for putting Cayne on the edge. “No, it’s not wrong. Marco! Where’s Cayne?” Mariah quickly averted her gaze towards her son wherever he was at the moment.                    &nb

After everyone left in the evening, Kook and Katherine did too. They decided to get a hotel room for the rest of the visit here. Cayne just had to wait for his family to come and he would introduce them to Jilly’s family.“How are your legs?” They were laying down on the bed trying to relax after the long tiring day. Thankfully, Grace was fast asleep in her room. Cayne suddenly sat up and moved closer to the end of the bed. He started to massage her legs softly as they keep the conversation going. He loved moments like this which they barely did back then. Small talks and late-night and even pillow talk, he always looked forward to them.“Do you know the way around here now?” Jilly asked as they had lived here for a few weeks now and Cayne was the one who go here and there to get something for the household, he barely go out either if Marco didn’t ask him to. They both got along pretty well and she was glad for that.“I

“What was that?” Cayne asked but his eyes keep an eye on Vincent who walked away mysteriously.   “Nothing, let’s go and hurry up.” The cold demeanor change in her was very noticeable and the way her eyes hardened was proof that something Vincent said disturbed her. She started walking first not minding Cayne’s curious eyes. She walked in hurry and almost skip using the crutches like she was walking normally. She didn’t care, all she cared about was getting to Marcus’ house right after this shopping was done.   “Walk slowly, Jilly. It will hurt your legs.” But his words went out as fast as they went in, it passed like the wind and leave no trace.   Jilly took the lead and put the groceries she needed in the cart without talking to him anymore. Cayne was more careful now and just watched her every move. What happened? That was what he wondered. Something must be wrong to make her look rigid. At that moment, he didn’t see J

After Katherine gave Jilly a glass of water, she was left alone in the kitchen as requested. She drank the water as she looked outside of her backyard, she still had the hammock they put up together years ago. Why it was still there? She had no idea.   “It’s not in his tooth. I would probably say in the nape.” Kook said and Jilly turned around to face him and then nodded.   “Call Marcus and ask his private doctor to come here and do a little surgery,” Jilly said to him as she glanced at Cayne. She got disappointed again by him even though it was unintentional. “I’ll be upstairs when changes are notified.”   “Have you eaten, Jilly?”   “Yes,” she replied shortly and then got off the chair to walk up to her bedroom. “Don’t let anyone bother me.” She continued but it was spoken directly to Cayne if he got what she meant.   “I’ll try.” Kook couldn’t promise something that might be bro
