Semua Bab THE CHARISMATIC MRS. BELMONT; BACK FOR REVENGE : Bab 21 - Bab 30

ALICIA “It's time for school, Kai.” I whispered, gently jerking him awake. His eyes popped open and I smiled at him, placing a kiss on his forehead.“Get up, let's get you ready for school.” I said to him, pulling the covers off of him.“Brush your teeth, I'll be back.” I instructed him, ruffling his hair as I walked out of the room, heading for Kayla's room.I pushed the door open and found the room empty. I looked around, the bathroom, the closet, under the covers, and fear began to run through me, my hands trembling as I pulled the door open and headed for the guest room, knocking gently before opening but Killian wasn't in as well.I ran down the staircase and getting to the living room I froze, my lips parting subconsciously. Kayla was laid out on the couch, tucked in while Killian laid next to her, a protective hand under her head. The corners of my eyes began to sting with tears and I lowered to the nearest chair I saw, letting the tears roll down my cheek.I sat there in the

ALICIAThe doctor finished wrapping the bandage around my ankle, the white cloth tight against my skin, as he looked up with a small nod to tell me that it was just a simple sprain and I would be back on my feet in no time. As he packed up his bag and headed for the door, I looked over at Killian and saw his facial expression soften until the lines of the billionaire businessman were completely gone, leaving behind only the man who had stayed up all night to watch over our daughter. I found myself smiling back at him before I could even think to stop myself, the warmth in my chest spreading until I felt like I was glowing. “Killian, I’m sorry about last night,” I whispered, looking down at my hands. “I shouldn't have flared up like that about the help, I guess I was just overwhelmed and I took it out on you.”Killian brushed it off with a quick wave of his hand and his voice got more serious as he stepped closer to the couch. “It’s okay, Alicia, really,” he said, his eyes searching

ZACHARY “ I thought you were being a friend.” Alicia's words resounded in my head, the look of disappointment on her face pushing a knife deeper into the wound that had been opened right from when she accepted that job. “You thought I was being a friend.” I slammed my hand against the steering wheel in anger… or was it disappointment, jealousy or something even more sinister? “I gave her everything, everything!” I yelled into the car. “You're so stupid, Zachary.” I lamented. “What were you thinking?” I asked, a cynical laugh escaping my lips. “That she would love you?” I continued. “You're so stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid!” I yelled, hitting the horn with every word. I drove away from her house with the blurred road ahead of me, my heart feeling like it had been shredded into a million tiny pieces, every single mile I put between us felt like a mile closer to a cliff I was about to fall off. I finally pulled into the driveway of my own apartment and walked through the fron

ALICIA"What's what?" She asked her head immediately snapping back to it's original position: lowered to the desk, her eyes set on the microscope. I scanned the part of her jaw I had seen the scar but it was less visible now she had lowered her head. "There was definitely a scar on your jaw," I said, my voice sounding more like a mumble to myself. "I saw it right now." I added, her ignorance starting to make me doubt myself and my sight."I don't know what you're talking about, unfortunately." She replied, her voice the lowest I had heard since Aunt Darla introduced her to me at her office."Jade," I called out to her, my voice softening. For some reason, I actually felt bad for her. I retreated to my seat, focusing my eyes on the sample in front of me, momentarily lifting my gaze to Jade's lowered face. All through the examination, I couldn't concentrate on the sample I was observing, or the multiple blood samples I was trying to sort.I watched her closely from the corner of my ey

ALICIA "I don't know what to think anymore, is he good for my children or am I just overthinking?" I sank into the chair in front of aunt Darla, running my hands over my face. "You're just overthinking things, Alicia." She said calmly as she scrolled through her phone, her eyes glued to the screen just as it had been since I walked into her office. I paused, staring at her intently.I sank into the chair in front of Aunt Darla and I felt like the weight of the last twenty-four hours was finally starting to crush me, my hands trembling as I ran them over my face to hide the exhaustion. “Because I’m scared to trust him?” I asked, my voice cracking at the end. Aunt Darla didn't even look up and she just kept scrolling through her phone, her eyes glued to the screen just as they had been since the moment I walked into her office. “You're just overthinking things, Alicia,” she repeated calmly, her tone so distracted that it left me wondering what could possibly be more important than t
