Leon retired?

“Not at all.” Grinning, he turned to look at me. “I know their director. We won't have to wait that long. Give or take, our son will have dinner with us next Sunday."My face fell. I had browsed about it and was told it would take at least three months or even more to adopt a child, which was why most people always planned. Some submit their requests months or even years in advance.“Really?” I dropped the mug on the island.He nodded. “He said all we needed to do was register, then sign some paperwork. I told him we needed a boy of 2 years, and he said they have one available.”“Oh.” I forced a smile. “That's great.” I picked up my mug and took a sip. If I had known he had a friend working in an adoption centre, I would have offered to do the deed. He wouldn't have refused me if I had asked to oversee it. “Aren't you happy?”I blinked. “Pardon?”“You don't look that excited about it.” He placed the cup on the rack and turned to look at me. “Don't you want this child? Should I call

A driver from hell

I blinked. “Leon?”He nodded. “I got a notice from his secretary this morning. There will be a meeting for the proper handover and introduction. You're being promoted from the company's CEO to the Chairman.”I shook my head. “Impossible.”There was freaking no way Leon would give up his position. It had to be a damned misunderstanding.I took my phone out of my pocket and dialled his number, only to be sent straight to voicemail. “Hold this. I'm coming.” I gave the envelope back to him before I raced back to the lift. I continued dialling his number as I went down. Each time, I was redirected to voicemail.I raced out of the building, ready to dial another cab company when I saw a cab still parked out front.It was just my damned 'luck' that the old man was still out there.A part of me wanted to ignore him and call another cab as I had intended, but I knew it would take some time before he arrived. I had no choice but to take the one available. He smiled when I entered. “I knew yo

Let the game begin

STEINAfter I disconnected, I focused once more on the man sitting on the chair opposite mine. The man Kai was looking for was in my office, looking like a cornered prey.“I did what you asked,” he said when I lifted a brow. He had stepped in while I was on a call with his son. “Can I have the recording and all the documents you have on me?”I relaxed in my chair, with a smug look. “You want the recording?” “Yes.” He sat up in the chair. “I'm no longer the chairman. That position is Kai's now, and I don't intend to take it from him. You can rest assured that I won't try anything funny. I'm just not comfortable with you holding that piece of evidence. What if it falls into the hands of the wrong person? We need to destroy it.”I laced my fingers and smirked. “I'll destroy it.”He frowned. “No, I want to do it myself. Give them to me.”“Unfortunately, it's not here. I took it home with me yesterday. You'll have to come home to pick it up if it's that important to you.”“What if Kai sees

His other family

KAII was still stuck with the old driver. It seemed like he was sent from the pit of hell to torment me. I blamed my car for breaking down. If it didn't, I wouldn't have been stuck with this man, who always seemed to take each yell seriously. Each time I yelled at him, he either slowed down or sped up. By the time I got to the new flat buildings Stein registered, I was almost ready to call the cops on him. He smiled. “I'll be waiting out here for you, sir.” He lifted his phone. “Here, scan your payment if you don't have enough cash. You've spent quite a lot today. Makes me wonder what you're really after.”I glared at him before I brought out my wallet and paid him. He grinned.“Thank you so much, young man. You'll marry a pretty lady and give birth to many children.”“I hate children, and I have a husband already.”The smile on his face froze for just a second before it returned. “Ah, I get it now. Still, you'll have a beautiful marriage with you husband and pets.”“I'll divorce h

A hypocrite

STEIN “What the fuck is going on?!” Jonas roared, pacing the floor. Mary was really impatient and had to start the work I sent her immediately. I didn't expect the result so soon. I was thinking it would all start tomorrow. Guess I underestimated her.“What?” I asked in my most innocent voice. He had called an hour ago and asked me to come over to his office immediately. I knew why he called, and so I took my time in meeting him.“This!” He pointed at his laptop. “I told you about the deal I had with M&A Corp, right? That was our ticket out of the continent. I… I wanted to expand our company to the entire continents, you know, right?”I nodded, while acting to be engrossed in what I was reading. “So?”“He pulled out!” He screamed. “He fucking pulled out, and over a fucking email! He didn't even do me the courtesy of a call. That would have been understandable. Why would he toss me off as if I weren't worth more than a penny?”I frowned. “Did you do anything to breach the agreement?”

The worst kind of betrayal

KAILeon froze. “Dad?” I called again, looking from him to the boy, who was looking at me with a raised brow. Seeing the two up close, I realised why I had thought the boy looked familiar. “Ka… Kai?” Leon blinked. “What are you doing here?”I stepped out of the lift before it could close on me. “Is he your son?” I asked in a surprisingly calm voice. Leon looked at the boy, then back at me. “Kai —”“Who's he, Dad?” The boy asked, interrupting him. “Why is he calling you Dad? Is that like a misunderstanding?” Leon shook his head. “Go in, Max. I need to speak to him alone.” The boy, Max, looked between us. “But —” “Go in!”Max sniffed, then nodded and hurried down the hallway. Leon looked at him with a guilty expression. “So, he's your son, huh?” I asked, bringing his focus back to me. He turned to look at me, and his expression shifted to anger. “What are you doing here?”I was stunned by the question. “Is that really important right now?”“Of course it is,” he gritted out in an

Paying for his sins

STEIN The moment I disconnected, I focused on my stepmother. “So? What's wrong with your husband?” She asked, giving me that look of disdain I hated the most. “None of your business.” I threw my phone on my desk before I sat down. “I'll work on getting Jonas out before 7. You don't need to worry about him,” I lied, while keeping a pleasant look on my face. I'd be damned if I'd help him. But she didn't have to know at all. She gave me a suspicious look before she let out a sigh. “Let me know if you need my help.”“Of course.” I gestured to my door. “I would have seen you out, but I'm currently busy trying to clean up your husband's mess.” She glared, but didn't give a retort. I watched with a smile as she stormed out of my office the same way she came. With her gone, I called Mary into my office. “Sir?” “Push out as much dirt as you can on Jonas to the prosecutors. I need him detained until tomorrow. Then after that… “ I grinned, linking my fingers together. “We send him to hell

Let me know if you need my help

“Schatz?” He didn't stir at all. I closed the door gently and walked over to him. I leaned down and placed a kiss on his forehead. “Baby?” He muttered under his breath and turned. I smiled. Christ, Kai's so cute; I want to keep him locked so only I could see him. I sat on the bed and just watched him, drinking my fill of his face. He was just so cute that each time I looked at him, I felt a tug in my chest. All I wanted was for him to be by myself forever. I don't care if I lose everything. As long as he stays with me until death, I wouldn't ask for anything else. “I'll be back,” I whispered and got to my feet. Since he was such a deep sleeper, I knew it would take more than talking to get him to wake up. I stepped out of the room and closed the door gently once more before I hurried over to the kitchen to prepare dinner. I knew he would be famished since he hadn't eaten anything after the light breakfast I made. I washed my hands before I started cooking. Almost half an hour lat

At the forefront

After dinner, we took a bath together and retired to bed, where we spent almost two hours conversing. It was the first time since we got married that we were talking like actual couples. I couldn't tell what was up with him, but whatever it was, I hoped it wouldn't end fast. I woke up before him and prepared breakfast. I set the alarm clock for 8 before I left, after writing him a note. He must have been tired from all the running around he did yesterday, which was why he didn't wake up at his usual time. I drove straight to the main house, a place I hadn't set foot in for almost a year now. I always went to the second house or Jonas' office whenever I needed to speak with him. The security guy at the gate was so happy to see me, and I had to spend five minutes just catching up. Even though I wasn't the best human and could be scheming whenever I wanted, I was okay to some people. As long as you don't provoke me, I have nothing with you.Imelda was waiting in the sitting room when

Controlling

Imelda's frown deepened.“Stein!” He finally showed up, all smiles. “You came. Brother, I've missed you!” He ran over to my side and hugged me. I stiffened at his touch. I would have avoided him, but I just wanted to see Imelda's expression. She'd hated that her son liked me when he shouldn't have. I mean, we were rivals when you think about it. As both of Jonas' sons, we would have to share his property someday. And from the looks of it, Imelda had no plans to share. Not that there would be any property to divide after I'm done with Jonas.I forced a smile, even though all I wanted was to kick him away from me. I really hated getting touched by others. The only person I tolerated was Kai. “How are you doing?” I asked as I gently pried him away from me. “I'm —”“Why did you come downstairs?” Imelda got to her feet. “Didn't I ask you to stay indoors until I come get you?”Heinrich pouted. “But —”“I need to go.” I got to my feet. “There's something —”“Can't you stay for breakfast?”
