I'll take care of it, my way

I stilled in my seat. “What about her?”“I need you to listen to me, Schatz. Ethan is my son.”My heart skipped a beat. My stomach twisted with nerves, and my palms got clammy. I looked at my covered laptop, already aware of what was in that test. Since Stein said Ethan was his, the paternity was confirmed. Gulping, I stared at him while I tried so fucking hard not to react strongly. I'd decided within myself that I wouldn't hold anything against him if it turned out that Ethan was his son. Just like I told Edward, it was a mistake he made as a teen. I wouldn't blame him. I would have to live with it. “So, Anna was right?”“About him being my son? Yes. But not about me sleeping with her.”I blinked, confused. “You didn't sleep with her?” I asked, to be certain I understood what he was talking about. He shook his head. “I didn't.”“But Ethan is your son? Does that mean she's not the mother?”“She is.”“But you didn't sleep with her? And somehow, your son is also her son? Make it ma

He finally said those words

STEINFor the first time in a freaking long time, Scorpion was actually useful. He found Anna faster than I expected. As for her son, I had him sent to the orphanage. I didn't want to bring him home because of Kai. He wouldn't want to have him in the house. I felt it would depress him, seeing my son and knowing he would never give me a son because of his gender. Not that he's ever talked about kids that much. I mean, he didn't like Lukas at first, and was against adopting a child. But now? He loves our son too much, and I knew he would never want to part with him. As for that bitch, Anna. I had Scorpion torture her. I intend to make her regret the day she took my sperm. I wouldn't have had any issues if she just wanted a son and used the sperm for that reason. But to come to me with that son, to break my relationship with Kai? That was something I would never let off that easily. I twirled my pen between my fingers while thinking of what to do with that bitch. I couldn't let her go

Insanely in love

KAIStein’s a madman. By lunch break, the entire company and probably the entire country knew I’d confessed my love to him. He put it on every billboard we owned. As if that weren’t enough for him, he had it broadcast from the roof and called me to watch. It was so embarrassing that I had to hide my face. God, if I’d known this was how he would play, I wouldn’t have declared my love to him.I figured he was pulling my leg when he told me he would have it broadcast if I ever confessed to him. Who knew he was telling the truth?My phone dinged in my pocket as I tried to finish work for the day. Smiling, I brought it out, already aware of who it was. I hardly got messages from people. Stein: Where are you?Kai: In my office. Why?Stein: Come up to the roof. I frowned at the message. Why was he asking me to come to the roof again? I hoped it wasn’t to do something embarrassing. I’d had enough of it this morning. I doubt I wanted any more. Kai: Why?Stein: You’ll know when you come.Ka

"You're literally glowing, Kai!" Edward pointed out. Raising a brow, he leaned on the desk. "Does this have to do with what happened last month?" He wriggled his brows. "You're having post-honeymoon glow, are you not?" I rolled my eyes. "I'm not." I took the top file and opened it, pretending to read it. "I'm just happy, okay?""Because a certain chairman is fucking in Love with you and makes the entire company jealous every day?" He gestured to the bouquet of lilies and box of chocolates on my desk. Stein had been going overboard every day for a month now, bringing back different gifts and making sure he gave them to me on the ground floor, where our workers could see. At first, it was embarrassing, but now I'd gotten used to it and looked forward to each morning to see what he could bring. And to think he left every morning to get it. "You're blushing! It definitely has something to do with Stein!"I frowned. "Didn't you hate him?""I did, and still do, for the things he did to y

You broke me to own me

I stood frozen, my hand hovering over the doorknob. He killed both our fathers? The words made little sense. They slithered into my ears and sat there, refusing to connect to anything real. My brain kept trying to reassemble them into something else, but I couldn't. I should have pulled my hand back. I should have walked away. Every instinct I had ever developed told me to run and to leave before the ground opened up beneath me.But I didn't move.No. No, I must have misheard. Stein wouldn’t—he couldn’t —“You mean the prison incident?” Mary asked in a neutral voice. If I hadn't heard the first words, I would have thought they were discussing business. “The one that was ruled a suicide?”“Dual suicide, yes. It was almost too easy. A little leverage on the warden, a few threats to the guards, and suddenly two men who despised each other were found hanging in their cell. The media ate it up.”My breath caught in my throat. No, it's impossible! Stein didn't kill them. He was with me th

I'm never letting go

“To keep you!” he begged, pressing his forehead against my stomach. His shoulders shook with sobs. “I was losing my mind. I couldn't watch you succeed without me. I needed you to need me, Kai, and yes, I did terrible and unforgivable things, but look at us now. Look at how happy you were this morning. That was real. We are real.”I looked down at the top of his head; the hair I'd run my fingers through last night, the skin I'd kissed, and the mouth that had whispered devotion to me all night. I went still.He looked up, hope flickering in his red-rimmed eyes. “Kai?”“You want me to forgive you,” I whispered. My voice sounded dead and empty, like my heart. “You want me to understand.”“Yes. Yes, please—”I leaned down. “Then, let me go.”“No!” He got to his feet, and his face pulled up in a dark glare. “I'm not fucking letting you go, Kia! Not over my fucking dead body!”I gulped as more tears kept rolling down my face. “Stein —”“I love you, Schatz. I love you more than life itself.

Held

I woke to softness. My neck throbbed where he'd struck me. I tried to sit up, but gentle hands pressed me back down.“Careful,” Stein murmured. He was sitting on the edge of the bed, still in his dress shirt, though he'd removed the jacket. His eyes were red-rimmed and hollow. “You might be concussed. I... I didn't mean to hit you so hard.”I flinched away from his touch, scrambling backwards until my spine hit the headboard. “Don't,” I rasped. My throat felt raw, as if I'd been screaming for hours. “Don't touch me.”He withdrew his hand, but he didn't move from the bed. He sat there with his hands folded in his lap like a guilty child, watching me with those wet, desperate eyes.“Kai,” he whispered. “We need to talk.”“We needed to talk months ago,” I spat. “Before you murdered your way into my life.”His jaw tightened. “I told you. Your father killed your mother. My father killed mine. They were—”“They were human beings!” I shouted, wincing as pain lanced through my skull. “They de

Mine forever

STEIN“Sir, how is Mr Kai?”I glanced at Kai, who was peacefully sleeping in the back seat, unaware that he was being taken back to the house he hated.“He didn't take it too well.” I maintained a steady speed so that I wouldn't wake him with too much bumping. I wasn't in the mood for another argument with him. “I apologise for earlier. If I didn't ask —”“It's not your fault.” With one hand on the steering wheel, I ran my left fingers through my hair. “He was bound to find out one day. Somehow, I'm glad he did so earlier.”“So, you're not angry?”“A bit.” I turned onto the deserted road that led to my house. Out here, it was just the trees and the long, winding road. We were finally back at the house I'd prepared for him. “What do I —”“I need you to take care of Lukas with Edward. I don't know how long Kai and I will stay out here. It might be a week or months. I'll work from home. Please take good care of our son.”“Sir —”“You'll be paid handsomely for your services, especially

Is it fun?

“This is home,” I mumbled. “This has always been home.” I gestured around. “This is where I keep what's mine.”His chest heaved, but he said nothing. Instead, he looked around the room once more as if he were seeing it for the first time, and his gaze locked on the window. For a long time, he didn't remove them, and I instantly knew what was going on in his mind. “The window is barred,” I told him, watching his gaze flicker to the glass. “And even if you broke it, we're a story up, and you might injure yourself.” I leaned back against the headboard, folding my hands. “We both know there's no internet out here, and no neighbour for a mile.”“For how long?” He turned to look at me. “How long do you plan to keep me prisoner?”“Until you understand.”“Understand what?” He lunged forward, but I moved out of the way before he could hit me again. “That you're a murderer? That you destroyed my life? That I married a monster? I understand perfectly, Stein. I understand I need to get as far aw

Fighting back

KAIWhat sort of monster did I end up with? Why wasn't he pissed at me for what I did? He just calmly applied the ointment before he returned to pick up the glass shards on the floor. He cleaned the room silently and didn't spare a glance at me until he was done. “I will go prepare breakfast now. Is there anything you want to eat?” “Your heart.”He smiled. “I don't think you can bear to eat that, Schatz. I'll make waffles then. Do you want freshly squeezed juice or —”“Let me go, Stein.”“I'm afraid that's not on the menu for breakfast today.” Winking, he walked to the door. “And don't throw things around, Schatz. I don't want you hurting yourself. If you want to hurt someone, wait for me to come up so you can do it to me.” Smiling, he stepped out of the room and closed the door behind him. “Bastard!” I growled at him, but he was already gone. Fuming, I got up from the bed and walked to the window. Thankfully, the chain was long enough for me to reach it. I tried anyway, despite h
