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

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

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

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

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
