Guilt-tripped

KAIMy heart broke as I watched him sleep. Each time he tried to turn in his sleep, he would wince, and whenever that happened, my heart would squeeze in guilt. This wouldn't have happened to him if he hadn't gone out to get medicine for me. He would have been safe at home if not for that bloody headache that mysteriously disappeared when I heard the news of his accident. It was quite odd, though, but I figured my worry for him made it vanish. I rubbed my fingers between my eyebrows as I rocked Lukas to sleep. He had been strangely docile, and aside from his cry of hunger earlier, he hadn't made a peep. When I was certain he was asleep, I carried him to the bed the nurses brought for him before I dragged my chair close to Stein's bed so I could watch him properly. I reached out, careful not to wake him. I wanted to touch the white gauze wrapped around his right hand, but I was afraid it would hurt him if I did so.“I'm sorry,” I whispered, looking at his face. Had Stein always bee

I trust you

I hit the brake so hard, it almost sent him flying out. Thank God for seatbelts. “Are you trying to kill yourself?!” He frowned. “You could have gotten injured!”“I'm not.” I shot him a glare before I turned to check on our son. Thankfully, he was still properly strapped. “Worry about yourself.”His frown deepened. “You're all I worry about. I don't care about myself and what happens to me. I only care about you.” He reached out to touch my face. “Were my words just now shocking?”“Of course!”“I only asked you to work for me.”I arched a brow. “In your office?”“Hmm.” He leaned back in his seat. “I can't work like this. The doctor said I would need to stay at home for at least a month. So, I'll need you to work for —”“Wait, a damned minute.” I raised my palm. “How so? You want me to act like the CEO?”He shook his head. “No, not CEO. I need you to be me, Kai—my proxy. I want you to be my voice in meetings I can't attend, and my signature on documents. I trust you with my company be

A confession?

STEINHe fucking poured my recipe down the drain just to follow Edward's instead. When he brought the spoon to my lips, I thought of all the ways I could make Edward disappear. I settled for refusing the soup for now because I still didn't know where that fucker was. Wait until I get my hands on him…I wasn't planning on killing him, though. Kai wouldn't let the case die. He would want to investigate the truth. What I needed to do now, more than ever, was to make him pause the investigation. I offered to make him my proxy to ensnare him. I wanted him to get used to working in my company so he wouldn't refuse when I offered him a permanent solution. A merger. One company, one name and one life. He wouldn't even realise he'd signed away his escape route.But I feel like it wasn't enough to get his trust. I'd gotten his sympathy and guilt, but it wasn't enough. Getting him to drop that investigation was what I wanted more than anything else. But how do I do that?“How do you feel so en

Making peace with Lukas

Just like he promised, Kai did something he had never done before. I was sitting on the couch when he woke up. Yawning, he walked into the sitting room, stretching. “Good morning.” I smiled at him.He smiled and walked over to me. He wrapped his hands around my neck and placed a kiss on my right cheek. I froze at the touch, stunned by that. Kai had never been this proactive. “What's wrong?” He frowned. “I just…” Blinking, I swallowed. “You kissed me?”“And?” He removed his hands from my neck and walked around the couch. “Is there anything wrong with that?” He took the throw pillow and placed it on his thighs as he sat next to me.“You haven't done that before.” He raised a brow. “I haven't?” I shook my head. The frown on his face turned into a smile. “Then you need to start getting used to it because from now on, I'll be kissing you good morning.”He was trying. He was acting the part of a loving husband, and I didn't care whether it was real as long as he kept playing it.My li

Excluded

KAII tried so hard to be a loving husband. It wasn't easy at first. I had to remember to smile at him and to kiss him any chance I got. Oddly enough, the more I did it, the more it felt natural. I even started thinking of it in the same way I did with Lukas. Still, despite all the care I gave him, he slipped in the bathroom on Wednesday night. I'd just gone into the room to get a towel because I forgot to take one with me when he slipped and fell. And he had to fucking fall on his injured side. I rushed him to the hospital that night, and he was admitted after I got an earful from the doctor, who kept asking why I left him alone in the bathroom knowing he wasn't fit. Stein defended me as much as he could, but I felt the doctor was right. If I had been careful enough, he wouldn't have returned to the hospital a few days after leaving it. With Stein hospitalised, I had to handle the funeral. Overseeing two funerals wasn't easy. I had to leave Lukas at the hospital with Mary, who ca

Feeling petty

I returned to the hospital after preparing dinner. I wasn't trying to think of Leon, but my mind didn't seem to know I wanted to forget about it. And each time I remembered that I didn't have a part in my father's will, my heart would squeeze dangerously. If only Leon hadn't died foolishly, I would have sought him out with the anger brewing in me, to give him a piece of my mind.Nearer to Stein's hospital room, I paused when I heard his laughter. I froze on my steps. Stein's actually laughing? I'd never heard him laugh out loud like that before. Frowning, I walked forward and looked into the room through the glass on the door. Stein was sitting up, with Lukas sleeping soundly, with his head on Stein's thighs. Mary was sitting on a chair, laughing with Stein over something only they knew. My stomach twisted the more I watched them. Stein looked so happy and free with her.Unconsciously, I tightened my hand on the bag that contained our dinner and gritted my teeth so hard I almost sna

Regrets?

STEINIt worked. Mary was about to go home because it was late when she saw Kai walking down the hallway. An idea came to my mind the moment she turned back to tell me my husband was coming. I laughed loud enough for the sound to reach the hallway even though there was nothing funny. When the door slammed open and Kai's face appeared flushed and furious, I knew the hook was set.I guess it helped a lot. Kai started treating me better than usual. His kisses on my cheeks every morning weren't forced anymore. And he actually took over my work. He worked from the hospital, claiming he wouldn't concentrate well if he left me with Lukas. Talking about Lukas, we agreed over the next few days to enrol him in kindergarten. With Kai returning to work, and me incapacitated, he would be lonely at home. I suggested it casually over breakfast, framing it as being best for Lukas. Kai agreed immediately because he was relieved to have one less thing to worry about. I was relieved to have one less c

Filing a report

KAIEdward's missing. I've been trying his number for almost two weeks and haven't been able to reach him. We were supposed to meet two weeks ago, but I was too occupied with taking care of Stein in the hospital to honour the appointment. We hadn't spoken since that funeral day.I looked up from the laptop when I heard a knock at the door. “Come on.” Mary poked her head in and smiled. “Good afternoon,” she greeted as she stepped in and closed the door gently behind her. Even though I didn't like her, I couldn't deny how efficient she was. A few days of working with her showed me exactly why Stein kept her around. She reminded me so much of Edward. Speaking of Edward…“Sir, you call me?”“Yes.” I reached for a file. “I need you to send this to the ad director and the general manager. Also, there's something I need you to do for me.”She reached for the Manila envelope. “What's it, sir?”“I need you to file a missing person case for me.”I'd have done that, but I was choked to the ne

I'll help you find him

STEIN Kai returned to the sitting room after tucking our son in for the night. The moment he sat down, I placed my head on his thighs and got comfortable.“What are you watching?”“I don't know.” I stared at his face. “Are you really adapting well to work?”“Hmm.” He ran his fingers through my hair. “Why? Would you return to work tomorrow if I told you otherwise?”"Of course! I don't want anything stressing you." He smiled but didn't say anything.For a minute, none of us spoke. Kai kept his focus on the movie on the TV while I tried to think of a way to ask my question without spilling everything. Mary called me this afternoon to inform me about his request to file a missing person's report for Edward. Before that, I'd received a call from Scorpion. He finally got Edward to spill and had deleted all the information he got. Scorpion said he had files—emails and some financial records —but nothing concrete yet. But enough to make Kai suspicious if he'd seen it.With the documents d

I've found him

Kai stayed silent for a few seconds before he spoke up. “Do you think that's a good idea?” He murmured, still running his fingers through my hair. “Wouldn't that be imposing on you?”I placed my hand over his and shook my head. “It's okay. I haven't gotten a CEO before because I wanted someone I could trust with my company.” I placed a kiss on the back of his hand. “What are your thoughts on changing the name?” I sat up, still holding his hand.“The name?”“We can change it to S and K.”He raised a brow. “Stein and Kai?”“Hmm. What do you think about that? Great, right?”“Is that really okay? You're not doing this to make me feel better, are you?”“I'm doing this because I'm greedy. Having you as my CEO means the company would be solely under our family, with no outsiders to disrupt it whatsoever.” He nodded. “That makes sense.”“So? Will you accept the position?” He nodded. “I will.”My lips broke into a smile. “Thank you!” I leaned in and placed a kiss on his right cheek. I didn't
