A RAISE OR TEN MILLION DOLLARS

KaiI tensed. “What do you mean you might have to pull the product out of the market just because of some few bad reviews, Davidson?“ I asked. “They could be fake for all we know“ “I know that, Kai“ Reed replies. “But half of the products already bought are being returned due to the review. There's nothing we can do except pull it out of the market. I thought it would be better to inform Alvara personally about this before she suddenly discovers the product is no longer available“ Could this be a mediocre work of my father or Williams?Regardless of whosoever was behind this, how was Alvara handling the news? She's been quiet ever since Davidson dropped the bomb on us. Was she perhaps nervous? “Kai, how quickly can you call round the press for me?“ Alvara asks. “As fast as a snap of the finger“ “Round up at least five reporters for me then“ “What are you planning on doing, Miss Foley?“ Davidson asked. “I'm planning on shutting down the bad reviews with a demo of me using our

PUNISH ME

Alvara“Miss Alvara—!“ “Mr Kai—!“ The reporters calls out, rushing after us but we don't come to a stop until we got into the car. Closing the door behind us, Kai drives off. Letting out a relieved sigh, I say. “That was one of the most terrifying moments of my life“He chuckled, “You did good““But still, 10 million dollars as a reward?. Isn't that too much?“ “If the reward isn't flashy enough, the officers won't budge“ Kai explains. “Besides, I'm counting on Reed's audit's team to get to the bottom of things faster than any other person. At the end of the day, the ten million dollars would be going to him. It would be like me investing into the product design. That would help gain more trusts from potential investors“ A smile spreads across my face, impressed by how quickly Kai had planned this out. “You really thought things through, huh?““In this line of business, you have to“ He admits. “Regarding the bad reviews—I've been thinking, it might not be either my father or bro

I'M INFERTILE

KaiThe moment was interrupted by a fucking phone call which I refused to take. “Answer it“ Alvara probes. “Go on“Cursing softly under my breath, I pulled away from Alvara, whisked out my phone as I took the call. It was Davidson. “This is the second time you're acting as a cock blocker, Dave“ I snarled. “What is it this time?““My audit team tracked the IP address of the person who left the review“A slow smile spreads upon my face. As expected of Davidson Reed. “Has the person been apprehened?“ I asked. “Yes. But I'm afraid we can't take any legal actions against him“My frown deepened, “Why's that?““You might want to see this for yourself. You and your wife should be in my office first thing tomorrow morning“ “Just tell me over the pho-“ Davidson hangs up, leaving me to curse him under my breath. “Crazy fuck“Gently placing my phone back onto the tabletop, I caught hold of Alvara's questioning gaze. “That was Reed“ I admit. “As expected, his team found the culprit“Alvara's

PREGNANT MISTRESS

AlvaraThere. The truth had finally been revealed. Kai looked thunderstruck, “Since when?“ “For a long time now. It's one of the reasons Williams and I never slept together“ As I explained these words, I fought the urge to choke up. He lets out a sigh, “God. I'm so sorry I made you reveal something like that, Alvara“ “Don't be. It's something I was going to tell you eventually. It just happened sooner than expected“ Clearing my throat, I added. “But this shouldn't be a decision I get to make alone. Would you like to adopt Klein with me?“Kai grumbles, “To be honest with you, I had a petty reason why I didn't want to raise the kid“ “What reason?“ “Let's leave that aside for now.“ He paused, “I guess what I'm trying to say here is: Let's raise Klein together. As a family. I'd really like that“ My face breaks into a full blown smile. Tears I hadn't been expecting strolled down my cheeks. Dabbing it off my cheeks, I replied. “Thank you, really““Let's go back in there. Dave and

YOU RUINED YOUR OWN MARRIAGE

Alvara“W-What?“ I stuttered. “I just found out a few days ago as well“ Freya adds.“I've been trying to teach out to Williams countless times but to no avail“ “I know you have no reason to help me“ She continues. “But, you're the only one I could think of“ Freya was right. I didn't have the guts to turn her down—especially after hearing she was pregnant. But there really was nothing I could do for her. “I really can't help you, Freya“ I admit. “As you know, Williams ruined everything I had—my company, my home. Leaving me with nothing“ “You still have some shares Williams left in your name“I blinked, confused. “What are you talking about?“Freya scoffed, “I see, you don't know about it. That's fine. You can easily hand them over to me then. Afterall, your company is slowly starting to get better and you remarried his brother, Kai. You don't need those shares anymore“ Grabbing my hands, she pleads. “Please, Alvara. Give me those shares“ I retract my hands out of her grip as thou

RATHER THAN WORKING WITH YOU

AlvaraI burst into fits of laughter, breaking the silence and tension in the air that had followed Freya's words. Freya, stiffened. “W-What's so funny?“Dabbing off my tears, I tried to catch my breath, “You really believe I destroyed my own marriage because I tried to build my own home with my hands?“ “We both know how bad William's company was struggling when he married me. Of course I had to go the extra mile and support us both“ I continued. “If you think our marriage collapsed because of the efforts I put in to hold it together then you're just a fool, Freya“ “You—!““Now that I think about it, I should be glad you stole my problem away from me“ I say. “A man who runs away from a marriage to avoid responsibilities and settle with convenience—that's exactly who Williams was in a nutshell“ “You might think you successfully stole my husband from me but rather, you stole my problem“ I added. “I haven't been able to properly breathe until now. I owe you many thanks, Freya. Withou

A TRAP

AlvaraThe smirk on Mr Foley's face quickly fades off. “What did you just say?“I raised my brow, “You didn't know Williams had a pregnant mistress?““My son can do whatever he wishes to do“ He replies, “I wasn't aware when he cut ties with you so I don't see any need to be notified if there's another woman in his life“ “Oh, really? I thought you'd be glad to hear that news since she's pregnant with a Foley heir““Williams heirs would head his company—not mine. If he doesn't wish to look after the child, that's strictly on him“ Mr Foley calls out. “My decision to work with you is for the benefit of my company—and not a disguised attempt to ruin yours““That's a bit hard to believe, wouldn't you say so?“ I inquired. “Regardless, I didn't make my decision to not work with you on a whim. Gaveson Robotics held a very intriguing offer. So good, I couldn't pass it up“ “I see. That's a shame““We could always work together some other time“By that I meant, never. “I'll be looking forward

BURNING UP

AlvaraI hesitated. Becoming aware of the fact that my father-in-law had recommended me for this job was all so unsettling. He knew the risks—thus, had carefully passed it onto me. But things were not going to play out the way he thinks. I'd make sure of that. Scribbling my signature across the paper, I say. “I'll be over my team as soon as possible to check out the electronic and power systems“ Henson dug into his meal, “That's fine with me. Just let me know when you'd be coming over beforehand““Of course. If that's all...“ I stand, “I'd be taking my leave. The smell of seafood is starting to get to me“Henson nods, “You can have your secretary fix a date with mine when you're ready to check over the power control. But I assure you, they are in fine conditions“ “It's not that I don't trust you, Mr Henson“ I clarified in case he was having any misunderstandings. “I just want to make sure this project goes smoothly without an hitch. Wouldn't you want that as well?““I would. To b

WE MIGHT LOSE HIM

KaiAlvara's words kept me on edge. For a moment, I couldn't process what she'd said.“W-What?“ I stuttered, moving closer and resting my hands on Klein's forehead. Hot. “Don't panic“ I say, trying my best to encourage Alvara. “In the bathroom cabinet—top shelf, you'd see a thermometer. Could you get it for me?“She rushed out while Klein slowly woke up. “Daddy..?“ He croaked, weakly. “Yes, it's me““I don't feel so good““I know, buddy. Mummy and I would make sure you feel better soon. Don't worry“ Alvara returned moments later, breathless as she handed over the thermometer to me. “Here you go, Kai“ I placed it under Klein's tongue and waited for the longest thirty seconds for my entire life. When it beeped, I pulled it out and looked. 39.3°CMy stomach dropped. “It's bad, isn't it?“ Alvara asked, reading my facial expression. “Watch over Klein for a minute. I'm going to call the family's doctor. It's late, but he'll pick up“Without waiting for a response, I moved out of t

FALL THROUGH

AlvaraKai stared at me like I'd lost my mind. “You can't be serious“I scoffed, “Well, I am. I won't have Klein admitted into this hospital—or any other hospitals for that matter““Doing that wouldn't be best for Klein“ “I know. But I'm not doing this because of my selfish desire from always having a child“ I admit in tears. “If what the doctor says is true, it means Klein had spent the last 8 years of his life hospitalized. For whatever time he would have left, I just want to love him. Let's do that together, Kai“Nodding, Kai wipes my cheeks. “I hear you, Alvara so please stop crying. Klein's fever was relatively high tonight so let's leave him at the hospital for now. Tomorrow, I'll talk with Dr Oden about getting him discharged. How does that sound?“ “It sounds good““Come on now. Let's get you home. You have to be at work early in the morning“ The fact that I couldn't take a day off tomorrow for Klein made me upset as meetings and appointments—which I couldn't push back had a
