BETTER LEFT UNSAID

KaiOnce again, I decided to put my trust in the public. With a meeting like this with Father, of course he was bound to slip up when he thought it was just us. Which is why I'd allowed reporter Benny through the back door to record everything. Hopefully, he'd gotten father's confession.Kayden frowned. “You hurt your own son?““This fucker has only caused me more harm than good. He's a disappointment“ Quinn admits. “I brought him injured before the press but I didn't say anything about who had hurt him. All I was trying to do was give off the impression that since he was hurt, the footage released was fake“ “And you think people bought it?“ I asked. “Of course. If they didn't, the tables wouldn't have turned so much this way““Did you get that reporter Benny?“ I asked. Reporter Benny comes out from his hiding spot. “Got it, Mr Foley“Father stared at the reporter in shock. “What are you—““You just admitted to harming your son and staring that the security footage previous releas

SOURCE OF COMFORT

KaiMy frown deepened. “You're a sick man“ Quinn chuckled as if my disgust amused him. Maybe it did. “Don't act all surprised“ He says. “You know what I am—and not—capable of““Stay away from Alvara“ I threatened. “I don't want her finding this out“Quinn shrugged. “She will eventually and when she does, I can only imagine just how devastated she's going to be. Then, she's going to find out that you knew about this as well but kept it a secret from her“He let out a short laugh. “I won't bother with Alvara anymore. I already have her where I want her. With time, she won't have any will to keep on going““That's where you're wrong“ I say. “Alvara is stronger than you think. This little secret of yours that you think is her weakness is her strength. Just wait and see“ Storming out the back door, I rejoined Alvara and Kayden in the car. “Are you okay?“ She asked. “You look upset. Did your father say something again?“ I exhaled. “No. He didn't. Everything's fine“ Peeping through the

BLACKING OUT

Alvara My mother's letter was not anything like I'd expected. She'd apologized for the things she'd said the last time we'd met—making it clear that she'd only done that for my own good but had realized that she had no right to control my life. The letter ends with Mother finally giving me her blessings over my marriage. Sniffling, I wiped off my tears. “I feel much better after reading this letter. Did you still want something out from the box you asked me to pull out earlier?““That was going to be the box we're travelling with“ He explained. “I wanted to check if we could use it to pack both our clothes but hold on, let me attend to the movers first“ As Kai takes his leave out of the room, my gaze falls down onto the letter in my hands. “I'm sorry for being such a bratty child, mother“ I whispered. “I should have been more understanding towards your feelings. Even if it's late now, thank you for finally coming around with my marriage““You can keep an eye on Kayden and I from

HOLY SH*T

Alvara My eyes slowly fluttered open. Kai sat quietly beside me with my hands in his. “Kai..“ I draw out slowly. Tightening his hold on my hand, he sniffled. “You're up?“Nodding, I reached up slowly and dabbed off his tears. “I'm fine. Stop crying““Alvara...“ His voice trailed off. I chuckled nervously. “What is it, Kai? You're scaring me““You're pregnant“ My jaw dropped. “What? But that's impossible““It's very possible, Mrs Foley“ An unfamiliar voice adds.Turning, I see that the doctor had walked in. “But...“ My voice came out hoarse. “That doesn't make sense. I was told I couldn't have children“The doctor steeped closer. “You have an history of PCOS but that doesn't mean permanent infertility. It makes conception difficult, yes—but not impossible. Especially if you've been consistent with your medication“After I'd found out that I couldn't have children, I'd been constantly taking the pills prescribed to me from the hospital. An act I'd believed had been pointless. “I.

COME OUT

Alvara“Stop staring, Kayden. It's rude“ I say over at the dining table. “I still can't believe 'The Iris Hilfer' is right here in our house“ He blurts out. Iris chuckled. “I see you're a fan?““A huge fan“ Kayden clarified. “What are you doing here? How is this even possible?““Iris is my sister“ Kai explains. Kayden's gaze drifts between Iris and Kai. “You're kidding, right?““He's telling the truth but Kai and I aren't related by blood“ Iris explained. “We grew up in the same orphanage home but that doesn't make us any less of family to eachother““I guess“ Iris takes another bite of the pasta before her. “This food is delicious, Alvara““I wasn't the one that cooked it“ I admit. “Kai did. He wouldn't let me handle dinner““Awn, look at you getting the princess treatment already“ She teased. “Well, dinner is not complete without this bottle of wine I brought along with me““No, drinking!“ Kai's voice boomed loudly, whisking the bottle of wine out of Iris grasp. “Sorry if my ton

YET TO DISCOVER

AlvaraI couldn't fall asleep all night. Could it be because of the excitement of me being pregnant? Or because I was worried about what Iris had told me last night about her coming out?Whatever the case may be, I couldn't stay in bed so I went outside the balcony and watched the sunrise. Looking back, I never thought I'd ever have a previous moment like this. A husband that cherishes me and even getting pregnant. But here I am. And surprisingly, these little things were enough to make me happy. Maybe. Just maybe. I didn't need to be into this business industry afterall. I'd gotten into it to try and fit into Williams lifestyle. Perhaps, there was something else out there that made me happy. Something else I was yet to discover because I never tried. Slowly, I feel a strong pair of arms wrap around me from behind. “Goodmorning“ Kai greets, placing a light kiss on my forehead. “You're up early““I couldn't sleep“He moves around to sit down beside me. “Why? Do you feel any disco

HELP ME

Alvara“What do you want, Freya?“ I asked. I'd moved to the bedroom to answer the call. Knowing Freya, she was probably calling to blackmail me with something futile again and I didn't want Kai knowing about it.“I watched the news“ She reveals. “It was you, wasn't it? The one who put Williams in jail““I wasn't even present at the scene““But your new husband was. Don't act like you had no idea about it“ Even if I admit I didn't, Freya wasn't going to believe me so what was the point?“Why did you call?“ I asked. “You already got everything you wanted. The shares and al—“ She hollered with laughter like a maniac. “Are you going to play that card with me, Alvara? Drop the act you fucking bitch. You knew what you were doing when you handed over those shares to me, didn't you?“I froze. She found out. “You weren't going to leave without those shares“ I countered. “Which is why you decided to destroy both me and my son's life?“ She asked. “You could have just explained the truth to m

WE LOST THE...

KaiIt's been three hours since Alvara left the house. Three fucking hours. I wanted to just give in, whisk up my phone and call her but held back. “Alvara will be back soon“ I mumbled over and over again. “She just went down to the hospital. Maybe she got worried and decided to stay back and watch over Alysia for a while“ Yeah. That sounded like something Alvara would do.Immediately my phone rings, I picked it up without checking the caller ID. “Alvara?““Kai. It's me, Iris“ My sister's voice rings through the speaker. “Oh, Iris. How are y—“ “Alvara is at the hospital, Kai“ My heart sank. For a minute, I couldn't move. Couldn't think. Couldn't process anything at all. “W-What do you m—“ “Ask questions later and just get over here, Kai“ She cuts in.Quickly, I snapped out of my thoughts. “O-Okay. Send me the location. I'll be right over there““Kayden!“ I shouted all the way from downstairs. “Kayden!“He appeared on the second floor hallway. “What is it?““Get down here right

END THESE NIGHTMARES

Alvara“You're lying, Kai“ I drawed out slowly. “Stop it“ Tears blurred my vision. Kai had no reason to lie about something like that. After all, it was his baby too. “A piece of glass penetrated into your stomach“ Kai explained further. “You had a miscarriage“ “No!“ I screamed, shaking my head in disbelief. “That's a lie!“ I knew it wasn't. I could feel it—the loss of my baby. “Alvara, I—“ “Out“ I cut in. “Please Kai, you and Kayden should go out. I want to be alone“ They did nothing wrong. I knew that much but I wasn't asking for much either. Just time alone to cry over my child I never got to hold, see or name. I don't let it out until Kai and Kayden leave the room. At some point, I must have cried myself to exhaustion and fallen asleep. By the time I woke up, Kai was seated beside me. “Kai?“ I growled, slowly. He shifts. “You're awake. Are you hungry? Thirsty? I know you said you wanted to be alone for a while but I was worried about you. I'll go back outside after you'

TIME APART

Kai“Alvara, Listen to me“ My voice cracked. “I get that you're in pain right now. I mean, we just lost our child so you're grieving. You don't have to make a rash decision like this“ “Rash decision?“ Alvara scoffed. “This isn't a rash decision, Kai. It's something we should have done in the first place. Rather, I never should have accepted your offer to help me get back after I'd lost“ “Ever since I took your hands, the complete opposite had happened“ She continued. “I've lost more than I could ever bargain for yet still got nothing in return. How much longer do you want us to continue this fake marriage?“ I froze. Fake marriage? Was that how she's been viewing my relationship with her? As nothing but a sham?“Don't push me away, Alvara“ I plead, voice trembling low. ”We can get past this together. Just like we always have”“I really didn't want to do this either, Kai but ever since we got married, it's been one thing after the other.“ She paused. “Today, it was our baby. What abo
