Semua Bab THE CHARISMATIC MRS. BELMONT; BACK FOR REVENGE : Bab 11 - Bab 20

KILLIAN“Hello Mr. Belmont.” I finally pulled my eyes off the little figure behind him, my gaze lifting to the owner of the voice.“Been a while.” He said, his voice cold and devoid of emotion.“I don't think I have met you before… mister…” I cleared my throat, pocketing my hands to keep them from trembling.“Doctor.” He snapped.“Dr. James.” He added, adjusting his suit as his hand slipped into the little girl's palm.The one from the other day. Why was he holding on to the child?Could she be his?I lowered my gaze to her face partially hidden behind the man's leg. As she notices my gaze, she stares back, her eyes lingering on mine before retreating behind the man's leg.The resemblance was too striking, it's biologically impossible.“Are you okay, sweetie?” He lowers his gaze to Kayla's form, gently patting her on the shoulder.She nods immediately, momentarily pulling out her head from behind him.“I–is she…?” The words got stuck in my throat, my tongue’s knowledge of articulatio

ALICIA“Aunt Darla, you paged me?” I pushed the door open with my eyes stuck on the clipboard in my hand.“Ah yes, we have a new addition to our medical team.” She said as I lifted my gaze from the document in my hand.“Alicia, this is Jade, Jade Vermont.” Aunt Darla introduced me to the figure as I stepped into her office. “She would be working side by side with you for the meantime.” I turned my attention to the figure that sat in front of Aunt Darla.“Nice to mee–” I paused, my eyes shooting up in confusion as I examined her face.“Is something wrong?” Aunt Darla asked, concern etched to her face.“Um… no, nice to meet you, Janet.” I cleared my throat, extending a hand to her but instead of taking it, she frowned.“It's Jade.” She corrected, shooting me a stern look that ran a chill down my spine as I redrew my hand.“It's nice to be here.” She said to aunt Darla, flashing her a small smile.“Dr. Grey would show you to her office.” I frowned.“My office?” She nodded, giving me a t

ALICIA“What do they mean by temporary joint parenting?” I asked my lawyer, my voice barely audible as I struggled to keep it steady.“That really tought to place in the most suitable words for a situation like this, Dr. Grey.” He replied, chuckling nervously as he pushed his glasses closer to his eyes.I adjusted in my seat, the fear of what was to come next suddenly making the seat uncomfortable to bear. “In the best way possible, please.” I urged, my hands curling into a fist on my lap.“It's means you either have to mo–” “It didn't have to come to this, Alicia.” I heard Killian above me, his voice spitting mockery and his victory.“You may have won this round but I get to decide the visiting hours and the venues.” I said, my voice breaking under the pressure I felt within me.I expected a comeback, a response as cold as his facial expression but all I got was a chuckle.A dry chuckle that felt like a push of the knife that had already been lodged in my back came forth instead.“Y

LEA“No, that's not possible.” I paced the length of the living room. I paused and stared at my mother seated comfortably on the couch.“I saw her with my own two eyes at the gala, I just couldn't believe she was the one I saw until yesterday morning.” I explained, my brain hazy from the gala night.I had caught a glimpse of someone who looked like Alicia storm out of the building that day but I had had a little too much champagne and simply drowned out the thought.“What are you so worried about?” She chuckled, sipping her wine. “She's back and so what?” She's added, her lips pressed into a thin line as she lowered the glass cup to the centerpiece.“She's back, meaning we have to be concerned about what happened six years ago.” I said, the thought of anyone finding out sending shivers down my spine. “What if they find out it was us?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.“What happened six years ago stays in the past and the faster you get it out of your mind the better for the b

KILLIAN“And they loved happily ever after.” I read the last line of the book, closing slowly as I watched Kai's eyes close slowly. I pulled the covers over him, tucking it firmly into his sides as I sat for a while, watching him.He was growing to love me, to see me as his father and that was all I wanted since I had found out about their existence.I gently caressed his forehead and sat up, lowering the book to the table and turning off the bedside lamp before walking, carefully closing the door behind me. I walked past Kayla's room, my mind in conflict on whether to go in or not.I pushed the door open and walked in, my eyes landing on her form in the small light reflected from the hallway. I sat by her bed, watching her quietly, my eyes fixed to her features. She was an exact copy of me, the hazel eyes flashing through my mind and for a moment, the guilt within me doubled, forcing a tear down my cheek. I placed a small kiss on her forehead and walked out, shutting the door quietl
