Semua Bab Bound by the CEO: Torn by Lies: Bab 141 - Bab 150

“Hi, honey. How are you feeling today?” Eureka asked, sitting on the edge of the bed by Kailani's side.Kailani sat up, pulling the blanket off her legs. "I saw them again,” she muttered, hanging her head low.Eureka placed her hand on the girl's and sighed. "It's okay. It's going to take time to forget everything. Or… do you want to share exactly what happened with Mom?” Eureka asked, hoping the girl found the courage to tell her this time. If she couldn't speak to her own mother, how could she open up to a therapist?Kailani went quiet for a minute. “I can't, Mom," she whispered.“May I know why?"Kailani glanced at her curious mom, then shook her head. “Can I tell you when I'm ready?"“You have all the time in the world, sweetie. Just know that I'll always be here whenever you need me."“Thanks, Mom. Can I ask you a favor, please?"“I'll do anything for you," Eureka said, gently squeezing the girl's hand.“Can… can I see my second mom?” she asked, her voice cracking."Do you really

The moment Eureka and the twins returned home, they found Raymond standing by the veranda, waiting patiently for them. Eureka paused for a second, her eyes darkening.“What is he doing here?” Kaiden muttered, already annoyed.As they moved closer, Kailani enveloped Raymond in a tight hug, whimpering while he stroked her hair. “What’s the problem, baby? Why are you crying?” he asked softly.“Why did you have to go, Dad? I missed you a lot,” she expressed while still holding tightly to the embrace.“I missed you more. I’m just putting some things together first, then I’ll be back, okay? Stop crying,” he consoled her.Kailani pulled away slightly, locking eyes with him. “I… we went to see my adoptive mom,” she muttered. “She looks well now. For the first time in years, she hugged me. She didn’t yell at me. She chatted with me, and I felt at peace. But I couldn’t stay with her longer. Mom said she still has a long time to spend at the psychiatric hospital. I’m happy, Dad. But I don’t want

Kailani locked her door, climbed on the bed, and laid face down, crying. She felt all alone again. Why would Kaiden even leave her alone with strangers? Mildred, she knows, hardly comes to the room except to announce that food is ready or they have visitors, like she did earlier. And those guards? What does she know about them? Even though Kaiden knows them, how well can she trust them? Besides, what was she supposed to do when they start shooting guns and all that?Time swept by quickly as seconds turned into minutes, minutes turned into two hours, yet Kaiden wasn’t back. Kailani became worried. She sat up on the bed, wiped her tears, and picked her phone from under the pillow. She dialed Kaiden’s number several times, but it wasn’t reachable. She also dialed her mother’s number, and it was busy. At that moment, a knock came on the door, startling her as she cowered back on the bed. The phone slipped from her hand as her heart raced. The knock came again.“What the hell is this? Mom,

Eureka yawned, sitting up, her arms grazing the ceiling as she stretched. She felt a dull throb in her head, making her wince and grunt. She scanned the purple, dimly lit room, feeling disoriented.“Fuck!” she exclaimed as she recalled the scene where Raymond had crossed her car. “My phone. Where the hell is my phone,” she scrambled out of bed, searching frantically for it.“Looking for this?” Raymond held up her phone as he entered the room, holding a cup of tea. She spun to face him, her hands balling into fists. “I almost thought you wouldn’t wake up tonight,” he smirked. “Want some tea?”“How could you, Raymond?” she snapped. “How could you be so…I can’t even find words to describe you right now. I was so stupid to think that for once, you were starting to fight for me, for my love, only for you to turn around and be working with the woman who wants our kids dead. For the millionth time, I’m regretting ever meeting you. I’ve never met someone as cold,

Raymond insisted on driving Eureka to Melissa’s house. Instead of taking the road that led to Melissa’s place, he turned onto an access road, stepping on the gas and speeding past other vehicles like a bullet.“Are you insane, Raymond! Where are you taking me?” Eureka yelled, grabbing the handle. “Slow down, dickhead. You’re going to get us killed!”Raymond acted like he didn’t hear her and turned on some music, focusing on the road.“Raymond! I’m going to cause an accident if you don’t stop this car right now,” she warned. He didn’t respond. Instead, he increased the volume.“Ugh!” Eureka grunted, clenching her fists as she let go of the handle. “Bloody stop this car right now!” she ordered, grabbing the wheel.“Stop this madness!” Raymond groaned, trying to push her back. She resisted, struggling with him. The car swayed on the road, neither of them letting go.“I said pull over!” she demanded, removing her seatbelt and hitting Raymond’s hands away from the wheel.The car rocked as
