One of the men chuckled, “I’m sorry sir, but who are you?”“We can’t just call our manager, the complex isn’t up for sale.” The other said.“Why are you two being respectful to him? Forget how tough he looks, he’s a pauper! He cannot even afford to be standing here.” Leslie said.“That’s right. Throw them both out!” Rachel chipped in.“I would like to speak to your manager. Or am I not allowed to make inquires? How much would the complex go for? Triple it, I’ll pay in full.” Kai made a bold statement and Leslie and Rachel bursted out laughing.“You didn’t tell us that your husband did stand up comedy, Sarah! You know what, call the manager. Tell him indeed someone wants to buy the complex. I would love to watch you two make an absolute fool of yourselves.”“Oh, yes! I have time today.” Leslie gleamed in agreement.“Al…right, ma’am.” One of the men said and hurried away. Sarah looked up at Kai with worry in her eyes. Kai never talked big. It was all unnecessary drama for her and her fee

John looked at the man that towered over everyone as well as the woman who sat behind Ronald’s desk. Nevermind that, he was only there on orders.Ronald sighed before taking the files from John, the weight pulling him down instantly so much so that a giggle escaped from Sarah. Leslie and Rachel turned to look at her and she cleared her throat, straightening her back.“Stand up.” Kai ordered. Ronald tried to but the weight of the files were too much for him, “stand up.” Kai said again. This time, Ronald was in a nervous sweat. Not only was he so weak that he could not carry a couple of files, he was struggling on his knees in the presence of a man he bullied for so long, John.“You may leave, John.” Kai said to the clearly confused man and he nodded before taking his leave. Kai squatted down in front of Ronald who was as red as a tomato. Kai thought that he had taunted him enough to send a message. He picked up the files that he was struggling with with one hand and placed them on the

Kai watched as Sarah’s face went from calm to confused. Whenever she had no clue as to what was going on, she furrowed her eyebrows tightly and frowned slightly. It was something he had always found cute, he often laughed at her for wearing her emotions so clearly on her face. Recently however, it seemed to be the only look she wore and it made Kai feel guilty. He was now determined to divulge as much information as what was safe for her.Nexarath was not public knowledge to those in the capital and that was decided centuries ago before either of them were born. The rationale was simple; the then ruler of Voltaria did not want the whole Country to be wiped out by war so he came up with a simple solution, the country was divided into two main cities. The inner city was later known as the capital and Nexarath which was the city that surrounded the capital, protecting the border and the capital at the same time. Although war never really halted at any point, the emergence and discovery

“You have that kind of money?” Sarah asked and Kai full on laughed this time around, “yes.” Was all he said as he got up. Kai adjusted his pants before reaching a hand out to Sarah.“We’ve had a long day, let’s go to bed.”“A long, unpredictable and eventful day.” She added as she took his hand. Everything about them was different now but their relationship remained the way Sarah loved, unbreakable and lighthearted. That was just how strong their bond was.The next day, Kai woke up from his night’s sleep uninterrupted by aggressive nightmares. He was getting used to it. He sat up and headed to the bathroom for his morning ritual, to splash some cold water on his face and brush his teeth. Sarah was not beside him when he woke up which only meant that she was making breakfast. As he brushed his teeth, Kai could not help but smile. Even though they had both come to the conclusion that he was the better cook, Sarah often went out of her way to wake up earlier and get a head start on maki
