Kevin Gates Book Novels & Stories

or worse, that we might lose everything. I’m so lost in these thoughts that I almost miss the door creaking open. I look up, startled, my breath catching in my throat when I see Kevin standing there. The usual confidence in his posture is gone; he looks smaller, burdened, as if the weight of the world is pressing down on him. His eyes are shadowed not just with worry, but something deeper, something I can’t quite read. Before he even speaks, I sense the hesitation in him, and my heart drops. “He’s here,” Kevin says softly, stepping into the room and closing the door behind him. His voice cracks just a little, barely perceptible, and it makes my stomach churn.

A compartment opened. Inside was a thin black book. Gabriel took it carefully. The cover carried no writing. He opened it. The first page contained a warning. WHEN THE SEVENTH GATE OPENS, THE KEY WILL CEASE TO BE A KEY. Aria stepped closer. Gabriel continued reading. THE CARRIER SHALL BECOME THE DOOR. Another page. THE DOOR SHALL STAND BETWEEN TWO WORLDS. Another. IF THE DOOR OPENS, ONE WORLD SHALL REMAIN.

Kevin nodded and apologized, "It's late and I have work tomorrow. I can't stay. I'll visit Ms. Parker when I'm free tomorrow." Audrey's maid looked at Kevin, impressed. She said, "I've seen many men with ulterior motives trying to get close to Ms. Parker for their own gain. But, you're the first one who hasn't fawned over Ms. Parker in front of her. You're different from those playboys. You're now working as an assistant at Jardin Corporation. Haven't you thought about rising up? Maybe you'll get lucky, find a patron soon, and have a bright future, right?"

Every time something important came up, Kevin would either fall ill or something would happen to prevent him from making a name for himself. For years, Kevin was nothing more than a low-ranking guard in the crown prince's personal guard unit. Even after Salvador's ascension, when he was placed in the Mystic Army and later made part of the Crown Guard, he still hadn't risen much in rank. His chance to go to Victory Pass only came because Galen had recommended him to Ian. Kevin had always wanted to stand out. Now that he had such an opportunity, he wasn't going to let it slip away easily. After Sebastian left Elderglen Estate, he sent word to Hell Monarch Estate.

Kevin stood at the gate, looking back at the house he would never enter again. He looked down at his hands, which were still stained with the dust of the street where he had thrown Davina’s suitcase. He had thought he was a king, and she was trash. Now, he was the one being discarded, and she was the queen of a world he couldn't even imagine. A black car pulled up beside him. The window rolled down, and a man in a sharp suit looked out at him. "Mr. Locke?" the man asked, his voice a smooth, oily resonance.

Kate signaled her brothers not to open their mouths, this was her business, and she could handle it on her own. “I really don't understand why you hate me so much, can you tell me?” Kanye patted the table, furiously saying, "If you want to live with Kevin, then stop calling me your dad!" Kate pursed her lips, frowned, and said, “Dad, can you reason a little bit? Kevin wasn't a nice person before, who doesn't have a past, before he got married, didn't he also have a few outsiders!"

Unable to hold back any longer, Godber asked, "Kevin, did that woman do anything strange while you were in the store?" "Nope," Kevin replied, letting out a satisfied burp. "You’re always warning me to be careful because of all the enemies my brother’s made. I was on guard, but she didn’t even touch me." He waved his short arms dismissively. "Relax, she was just a regular sales lady. You’re being paranoid." "Maybe she saw me coming and didn’t have time to do anything," Godber muttered, more to himself than to Kevin. "Otherwise, who knows what could’ve happened."

"Vicky thinks like an academic, Kai. She thinks the world is a library where the person with the right footnote wins the argument. Kevin’s father doesn't care about the title. He cares that someone touched his fence. He’s making an example out of me because I’m the only one whose file doesn't have a family crest stamped on the cover." She reached out, her fingers catching the sleeve of his coat. Her grip was surprisingly strong, the fabric bunching between her knuckles. "Why are you here, Kai? Really. Why are you sitting in a grease-stained diner three blocks outside the gate with a girl who is about to be expelled?"

Although I felt terrible for him, I now like Kevin's cello. I took the note around with me wherever I went. Even though I had memorized everything, I wanted to keep it close to hand. Because the facility was just a few years old, all of the facilities appeared to be outdated. Kevin drove right in. At the gate, there was no security guard. The living room was truly lit up as I unlocked the door with the key. I couldn't help but wonder if I'd forgotten to turn out the lights when I left the last time.

And as we wait for the metal doors to open to take us to our destination, Kevin gives me a sidelong glance, "You know... It would be better if you didn't go out at night during these days." "Really?" I look up confused, noticing that he's back to looking at the doors that are opening, "Why? Did something happen?" "No... Not yet, but you never know." He gives an enigmatic smile and steps inside. I look even more confused, but decide to let it go, after all... I have some victories to celebrate.
