James Kidd Novels & Stories

James did not want to admit that he cared about Adrian. “That’s great then.” Elly did not say too much and planned to leave. “Sir, I’ll be leaving first.” “What’s going on between you and that man called Keane Miller?” James said coldly and put down the wine glass on the table. “I’ve sent someone to investigate him. He’s Mayor Watts’ nephew. His father Patrick Miller is the chairman of Citadel Corporation. He got his degree in Thailand and became an exchange student at Country M for a year. He’s Jasper’s cousin.”

He mentioned some important names and Polly almost regretted it. She barely remembered a handful. His father’s name is Wade and his younger brother is called James. Jared has plenty to say about his father but didn’t say much about his brother. There were elders. He informed her what they’re usually on about, the things that matter to them, which don’t usually align with his.

I never got to care about what they did to Japhia until a month ago when he became a very close friend and so his problems became my problem and his enemies mine as well. Jared’s dad is a commissioner which makes him pompous and egotistical jerk in campus, and Japhia’s last question to him before they threw us off their moving vehicle was “my father is one of the richest men in the world, but you don’t see me bragging about it and acting like a jackass whose ass is on fire do you?” Tonight is certainly not the night I want to get into anything, especially if it involves Jared... Oh and William. “Karen, where’s fire?” Jared asks as I walk to where they are.

I didn't even have friends I could crash with until things got better for me. I went to Jenny's cafe to have a treat. The cook there always put something aside for me to eat. He believed that showing a little kindness made the world go round. I was glad I met him. James was chubby and sweet. If it weren't for him, I would have starved to death. He had a dream of owning a fine dining restaurant one day, and I hoped for everyone's sake he realises that dream because he was a kind soul.

Cleo asks excitedly. “No dummy,” JD scoffs. “Mommy is having a baby.” “JD, don’t call your sister a dummy,” James scolds. “Mommy?” Cleo says softly. “Yes, my love?” “I want a sister,” she says. “No! A brother!” “Sister!” “Brother!” “That’s enough!” James tells them, scooping them up, one in each arm. “Time for breakfast!” He carries them out of the house, our house, and towards the dining hall, the kids laughing the entire time.

Calesti joined us too for breakfast, she and Finn were having fun grilling James with questions. “So let me get this straight, you’re only here for the holidays but thinking about moving in?” Dad asks James. “Yeah, Milo is like a brother to me, and we’re both working with Uncle Jayden, so why not stay in here, it’s a nice town, and I get to make new friends in here,” James answered him. “And my daughter?” Dad ask them in a cold voice “A little sister,” James says. “That’s good, keep it that way,” dad orders us.

Her mother covered Lydia’s mouth and dragged her away. Adam lifted my hand and immediately announced, “It’s just a minor hiccup by some random person. Finneas and Theo are fraternal twins. Finneas was raised in the countryside from a young age due to his poor health. He’s easygoing, and that’s why he made some bad friends.” Everyone treated it as if nothing had happened and clapped for me. James was taken away by the security guard. He was staring at me with vicious eyes. Actually, I had predicted that James would not give up so easily. Hence, I got a private detective to follow him around.

Slowly, I peeled my eyes away from the document and looked up at Kaid. “This is not true,” I managed a weak defence. I swallowed down the emotions that threatened to consume me. “You badly want to believe that. For a man like James, who lived off taking what was never his, for killing my mother and my sister, and for almost bringing Greyson Corp to ruin.” He gave a sharp laugh. “You are just as bad as he is.”
