Reynold's jaw tightened as he watched Kayla find trouble going to sleep. She turned and curled several times, the worries that she carried were very obvious, almost permeating the air itself.
His shoulders was rigid with stress and he hated feeling powerless while her world crashed down. There had to be more he could do rather than watching her fruitlessly try to mitigate the damage.After a few minutes, she managed to stay calm within the thick sheets of her bed, and giving her one last furtive glance, he walked out of the door and slowly closed it, making sure it made no sound. Then he went downstairs, by that time Jovian was already in the sitting room.In a low tone, Jovian asked. “Is everything okay?”His question was met by a few minutes of silence from Reynold. Then he raised his head and looked at him.“Something is wrong. And I need to investigate it…” a frown formed on his face.At first, he had overlooked the posAfter all that had happened, any other person would have been battered, bruised perhaps broken even. Not that Kayla was some sort of super goddess, she just was very resilient in a lot of ways.Some of those ways often tend to be full of surprises, it's no surprise why her brothers consider her a very dangerous subject even though she was female and all their family principles favors them more. Deep in their hearts, they know how unstoppable this sibling of theirs could be.Kayla moderately marched forward, the stoned determination in her eyes shielded by a black shade, and a scarf was loosely tied over her head, around her neck. She wore a tight pair of faded jeans that accentuated her hips… but not much of it could be adorned because of the baggy sweatshirt she wore– which covered her upper butt.Still, whatever was of her was a feast to the eyes of men, both single and married. She walked alone, nonchalantly treading the grand floor of the airport.The attendant stopped her but, sh
Reynold and Jovian began to look through the documents they had retrieved from the company.At first, it was a pile of junks, some work papers and documents, however one thing that was interesting or that linked all these documents together and made Reynold so fascinated was the fact that there was one shady means linking to another, everything was just begging to be revealed.‘These guys are cowards… cowards, real one.’ Reynold scoffed and shook his head as he continued what he was doing.While those facts and weaknesses he found were useful, they weren't what he wanted. After a few hours the turning point emerged - several large critical servers suffered a systematic crash. Originally believed to be a freak technical glitch, the outages corrupted datasets delaying merger financials Kayla's team relied on.Digging deeper, Rey uncovered the crash fingerprints pointing to a remotely triggered attack - someone with high level network access had intentionally taken those servers offline
Late in the night, two pairs of feet slowly crawled the floor, moving with careful precision. Even though their slow strides were scattered and uncordinated, they still managed to keep themselves hidden in the darkness, like they had spent tens of years in it, mastering the core of it.Reynold and Jovian found themselves slipping through unfamiliar halls, and even though they had a target this time, it was still kind of difficult locating the said target. Prior to this time, Reynold, nor Jovian had been been to Kayla's company.With how edgy the young lady could be, Reynold had deliberately stayed as far away as he could manage.After a few trial and error entries, they finally got to what they were targeting. The IT department systems. While Reynold stood watch, Jovian worked quickly uploading spyware to department laptops. Since they were unable to discover who it was that had betrayed Kayla, Reynold suggested that they install the spyware into the systems of all the workers in the
In this city, morning was not like it usually would be. It was almost as if the ray of light came in later than it usually would or maybe Kayla was just too tired that she didn't notice it the moment it came.Also, there was no masculine, strong framed body lying beside her, no savoring odour soothing her nostrils. Everything about the morning was unfamiliar and if she'd admit… lonely.She didn't think she'd wake up in the morning and the first thing she'd be missing was the nice smell of her husband's food.Kayla stretched away the temptation to go to sleep, her body ached all over come this morning and the cold was kinda assaulting, although it was still at a point where she could mind not wearing anything thick.As she stood up to go to the bathroom, her phone rang. With great expectations and a sweet smile she picked it up, her smile getting even sweeter.“Hello baby,” her voice was seductively hoarse.“Hello, my love. How have you been? I'm sorry, I slept too early, I didn't chec
A young lady was dressed in an austere sense. She wore black scarf over her head with black shades, then a nose mask. Disturbingly matching her black gown–she even added a black heels to it.Considering the significance and underlying dangers of being discovered, she had probably thought that this was the perfect outfit for the occasion.Of course, one couldn't blame her. What was the only daughter of a rich conglomerate supposed to know about undercover. How was she supposed to realize that to go undercover was to blend in with the crowd so much that she becomes insignificant.But in that black dress, Kayla was just too obvious.Currently, she was sitting at a restaurant, several seats behind her target. Who was also a pretty lady, although not as pretty as Kayla but she had some perks… yeah.‘I can't help but wonder why a pretty lady like her is onto Ceneau…eeww… I feel like I can throw up just thinking about it.’Kayla shook her head and kept her face hidden in the menu, looking at
“A condition?” The lady's voice sounded a bit cautious.One could tell from it that she was a very thoughtful young girl, one that very much understood her position and understood the fact that anyone could take advantage of her any time. Well, except if Kayla was giving her too much credit with just two words.“I'm sorry. It's not anything outrageous. I just need your help also.”Immediately Kayla said that, the lady's expression became free. She was probably thinking the help was money, Kayla could tell because she was the best person to understand the lady. Both of them were the only daughter of their fathers but in her case, she had brothers, evil ones as at that.Only daughters tend to think every help needed was always about money. She thought like that too at a point but she had changed… no, she was changing. Kayla looked at the waitress that was busy with another customer.‘I will gladly throw money at almost anything in this world.’She faced the young lady.“I actually came
Reynold and Jovian settled in the car not too far away and continued to listen to Lei's conversation with the other party. Jovian had managed to wire through the lady’s phone, using a complex coding sequence, which made the phone's recording effect listenable…however, it was still muggy and unclear.For the most part they couldn't listen well, they couldn't get a lot of things because of how hard it was to hear. The audio was sounding with a lot of shimmering noise that drowned the voices in the background of the call.However, Reynold was able to get a single thing from the conversation. And it made him frown.“Tate… the person he is talking to is Tate.”“How can you be so sure?” Jovian asked.“Because, he has a unique voice.”“Then what do you suggest that we do…”Reynold was silent for a few seconds, his eyes squinted and he responded.“We wait.”“Wait why?” Jovian inquired with a round eyes.“We will break into his place and steal enough evidence to make sense of our claims.”Jovi
The second morning Kayla was spending in another country was kinda different from the first. But that could also be because of the guest she had. She had slept quite late yesterday because they spoke into the night and it was a miracle that she managed to wake up this early enough.Mei was going to see her off and go on to convince her father. She already assured Kayla that she wasn’t going to fail. She was going to bring back the merger and become a part of The Johns family.Still thinking about it, Kayla shook her head. It still didn't make any sense enough, that she would go to this extent to marry that damned Ceneau. But then she had also done something crazy and went to marry Reynold.Both actions may be fueled by different reasons but it spoke of them the same way… crazy.She came out of the bathroom and slipped into a cream colored gown that stopped just above her, hugging her body and bringing out the contours of her shape.“You look amazing! A ten!” Mei complimented.“Yea. Th
