Chapter 31: Possessive Streak Night’s P.O.VConsidering that Kai has been my shadow since last evening…why was I even surprised to find him standing outside my faculty building at 3PM, with poor Cole at his toe acting like his chauffer?Did he really think I didn’t know that he had texted Cole this morning to get his car so he could drop me off at the faculty?As cute as I found this whole possessive-dominant streak to be, and I’d rather he show it in bed than just boss me around, I could tell from Cole’s expression that he was both amused as well as annoyed at the two of us, especially at Kai.Amused because Kai wasn’t always this sweet, so yeah, watching his bestie breaking a sweat trying to care for me was actually kinda cute. And annoyed because Cole now had to be dragged around everywhere behind the two of us, when he probably had much better things to do.Also…the fact that pretty much every girl and a few men on campus were now checking out Kai, who was leaning against Cole’s

Chapter 33: RubyKai’s P.O.V“Great job, Night!” Zach’s overly enthusiastic voice grated on my nerves as I waited beside him with a towel in my hand, so that I could give it to Night as soon as he got out of the pool. However, Zach’s next words were completely unexpected.“Now, for the final group photos! Bring in the ladies!”As if on cue, a group of twelve women led by Tina and Yin, came out from the changing room area, all dressed in their colorful bikinis, except for Tina and Yin, of course, since they were here to take care of the girls on behalf of the Student Council.A series of cheers and wolf whistles sounded the air at the sight of the women and I turned to look at the Student Council President, who was grinning from ear to ear at the reaction.“Zach!” I whispered next to his ear, bending down to where he was seated. “This wasn’t part of the schedule! Why are the girls here?”“Wow!” Zach turned to me with huge eyes. “I never thought I’d see the day of Kai Hunter being the b

Chapter 35: Not-so-Pleasant First MeetingKai’s P.O.V“Why didn’t you tell me you’re taking him to the hospital? I could’ve gotten there to take you guys. Damn, now I feel like the asshole for telling you off earlier!”I let out a sigh, massaging my temples as I listened to Cole ramble on as I sat outside of Night’s room. “It’s fine.” I told him. “I got him here just fine and hailing a cab was much faster than calling you to haul ass. Besides…you were right. You have your own life and I shouldn’t keep on bothering you just when it’s convenient for me.”“Hey…hey! There you go again, making me feel like the asshole!” Cole’s voice was clipped, like he too was frustrated with this whole conversation. Well, that makes two of us.“Not doing it on purpose.” I sighed yet again. “Listen…I’ll call you later. I need to go check up on Night, okay? Bye. Goodnight.”“Hey! Wait, Ka-”I disconnected the call before he could continue and I then turned the phone on airplane mode just so no one could di

Chapter 37: Missing YouKai’s P.O.V“What are you talking about?” I asked her wearily, not in the mood to answer her burning questions in the middle of the night. “It’s past 3AM, Kia. If you don’t have anything useful to say, I’ll get going now.”“You ungrateful fucker!” Before I knew it a piece of plastic came hauling at me through the open windows. I dodged it right on time before it landed on the ground with a splatter and it turned out to be some half eaten food from a fast food joint that she had once again forgotten to throw out.Typical Kia.“Jeez, woman! Calm your ass!” I picked up the plastic before anyone saw it. “You don’t want to get arrested or fined for littering, do you? I’m too tired to bail you out at this hour.”“Fine, don’t tell me,” she sighed, shaking her head before she narrowed her eyes at me. “But I know you well, Kai. You’ll come crying to me for help in no time! And then, I’ll find out exactly what’s going on between the two of you! Just you wait!”With that,

Chapter 39: PrisonerNight’s P.O.VOne Week Later…“Why are you just sitting there staring at your breakfast? Eat!”I looked up at the man who called himself my father, and once again, thought about the hell I had been going through for the last few days.“I’m not hungry.” I sighed, leaning back in my chair.To be honest, this mansion, this large house with its heart of stone…it was slowly suffocating the life out of me and if I stayed here any longer…I was afraid I would become just like the inhabitants of this stone house. Stone cold statues that only knew business.My mother frowned from across the table, her makeup pristine even this early in the morning and not a single hair out of place. However, no amount of makeup could hide the look of disapproval in her dark brown eyes.“Night…if this is about you quitting that dorm, then you really need to grow up!” She sighed, picking up her coffee cup with perfectly manicured red nails. “We’re doing this for your own good. Your fiancé is
