Justice For The Billionaire Heir

CHAPTER 5

     Back to the present Day.

A few months later Kai now looks at himself as the most insane man for ignoring Kendrick's warning.

“I really should have listened to the voice of reason.”

His heart was heavy and his mind was bugged with thoughts of his escape plan.

He was still seated on the pile of dried leaves.

After his conversation with William, he had lost the flare for the job. The condition he was given was stringent and he knew deep down that it may not work out. He knew that all William did was politely say no.

Yet, he felt the urge to satisfy his curiosity.

So, he got up from the heap of leaves and dusted himself.

Then he walked back to the house. Everywhere was quiet. The maids were not around the house and Scarlet was probably in her bedroom.

He walked to their bedroom to do as his father in-law had said.

Scarlet was in their bedroom, putting makeup on her face and getting ready as though she had a place to be.

When she saw him walk into the bedroom, she gave him a look of disdain and turned back to her mirror.

“I want to ask you something,” he said with a low voice.

“Are you blind, Kai? I get really irritated when you act so dumb. Are you oblivious to the fact that I am putting my makeup on?”

“It isn't a long conversation. I just want to seek your approval for something.”

She rolled her eyes with contempt at him and turned back to what she was doing.

“What?”

“I spoke with you father about taking me back to the company. I feel too worthless lying around the house.”

Scarlet dropped her makeup brush and turned to him with rage gradually appearing in her eyes.

“So, after we talked about this and I told you there was no way you would leave me here alone, you still meet my father?”

“I need to start working again. Being at home all day makes me feel less of a man!”

He had pain in his voice.

“You don't feel less of a man Kai, you are less! You can never match up, no matter how long you work, so get over yourself. I am sure father would not even want you back,” she sneered at him.

“Can you at least hear me out first?” He squealed in frustration.

“Fine! Go ahead.” Her lips were twitched with a smirk.

“Your father said I should ask you for permission. That's why I am here. I do not think he has a problem with me coming back, he just needs to be sure that you will not feel inconvenienced and babe, I will be there for you still. I just need to step up and be a man.”

Scarlet broke into a callous laughter and it made Kai quite confused as he gazed at her wondering what he said that was too funny.

“What is funny?”

“Your stupidity and glorified dumbness. I mean, who would have thought that you would not read between lines with my father?”

“I do not understand…” Kai mentioned, leaning in closer to get a clarification.

“All I am saying is that father's polite way of saying no was telling you to ask me for permission because he already knew that I would never accept. So, my darling, the answer is still no!”

Kai's spirit was dampened. He wished that Scarlet would be different. He wished he could turn back the hands of time to that point when he thought she was beyond his league and he wished he could unwind all the actions he had taken in the past month because if he could, he would never be married to Scarlet.

Scarlet was not done roasting him. She had laughed so hard at his miscalculated conclusions and then stood up with her well costumed face and walked up to him with a bold smile.

She smelled good and looked great but Kia was not seeing her in that light.

All he could see was a woman who was tearing him apart, emotionally.

“What you need to do now is to cook a delicious meal for me because I am having an important guest over today.”

She patted his back like he was a child and walked past him, smiling broadly.

“Yeah right,” Kai mumbled and followed her out of the room to carry out her instructions.

He was slipping into depression with the whole situation and now, it was as though his life was coming to a sad end.

Kai walked to the kitchen with a grumpy face and began to prepare the meal for his wife as she had instructed.

“Whoever this guest is, he or she must mean so much to her.” His mind journeyed through a million miles as he prepared the dinner with all the strength he could summon.

Whilst he was at it, he thought he heard a sound coming from the direction of the rooms. 

Everyone who was in the main house had gone out and it was just him and Scarlet. He hadn't heard her leave nor had he heard the door open for anyone to walk in.

“Who the hell is in this house then?” Kai asked himself as he left the kitchen and began to search for where the noise was probably coming from.

As he got onto the corridors, he heard the sound even more clearly. It was a sexual moaning indicating that two people were having a great time in the Ross mansion.

“But who could that be?” Kai seemed confused and slightly bothered about the sound. Be assumed it could be any of the maids but he was certain that they could not have the guts to do such a thing in the Ross mansion.

He was sure it was not William and Valentina because he had seen them drive out together.

A perturbed Kai walked further down the corridor till he heard the sound clearly coming from his bedroom.

Kai felt a strike in his chest as he gripped the

door handle and pushed it open.

The door effortlessly opened up and Kai's face turned red.
