For the next few minutes, Kaylan kept exchanging words to the men who were patient with her as she waited for any car to pass by but it seemed that wasn't going to happen. “I’m going to call the police right away and get you sued.” She scowled, picking up her phone to make the call only to discover that there was no service. The look on her face made the men burst into a mocking laughter as she tried to get a hang of what was happening but it was to no avail. She was still trying to wrap her head around the situation when one of the men yanked the door open. He didn't have to say anything to her before she stumbled out of the car, cold sweat breaking out of her pores. Why aren't there any cars for miles? — She thought, staring at her phone which was almost useless. While others checked her car, one of the men walked up to her, placing his hand on her shoulder and with a smirk, he said, “You shouldn't engage yourself in dangerous stuff.” “Let go of me.” She tried to pull away fr
Seething with anger, Alaric stormed out of his home office only to storm back in almost immediately. His men who were frightened all held their breath as no one dared to question him. Karl had called him concerning Kaylan after he had informed him of the presence of a spy. At the moment, Alaric didn't know what to do as he was lost and frustrated. If he had known, he wouldn't have told Karl about Kaylan until he had caught her red handed. “Sir, is there anything we can do to help?” A bold guard asked and without thinking twice, Alaric sent the nib of his pen into his neck. Sucking his teeth in anger, he stormed out finally and then drove to the Presidential Villa where Karl was currently waiting for him. Curious to find out the outcome of his investigation, Karl said, “Can I get the details already?” When Alaric didn't say a word to him, he tilted his head to the side, his whole gaze fixated on him, still yet, Alaric wouldn't say anything. “What happened?” Karl asked with a sli
On arrival, Liam was busy speaking to some staff concerning the upcoming project they were to embark on. Immediately they noticed the presence of Alaric, they all dispersed. Liam on the other hand wore a neutral expression as he kept staring at Alaric's who had refused to say a word since he came around. He didn't need anyone to tell him that Alaric had discovered who Kaylan was, so he was a bit perturbed but he didn't show it. After what seemed like forever, Alaric closed the gap between them and with his full gaze on Liam, he said, “Why did you put her in that situation knowing fully well it's a danger zone?” His tone was low but loud enough for Liam to hear him properly. Feigning ignorance, Liam scrunched his brow, parting his lips slightly as if he was trying to wrap his head around what he was saying. Furious with this, Alaric wanted to grab his shoulder but he left his hand hanging mid air. “Are you certain you aren't going to regret this? Karl knows about Kaylan now and
Sitting in the bar section of his home, Alaric was sipping a glass of water with his hands folded in front of him. Karl's words were making him uncomfortable.Silencing someone wasn't a hard task for him to do but he wasn't moved to do the same to Kaylan when she was merely working on Liam's instruction. Balling his hands into a fist, he would clench it for a while and then release it.This went on for a long time and when he finally stopped, he rose up only to plop back on his seat with a thud. “I'm a pawn in this game.” He muttered, tugging his hair. “He even has a replacement for me already. Who could that be?” He pondered, feeling his neck and back of his head for the presence of any cut but there was none. Shaking his head vehemently, he rose but as usual, he fell back on his seat, grabbing his head as he squinted. “I can't meet Liam for help. He is going to look down on me and I can't let that happen.” He huffed and with his lips caged in between his teeth, he grunted. Jus
First, it was the faint sound of a door opening and then a bang. Rolling to the end of her bed, Kaylan nuzzled deeply into her pillow, trying to seek comfort as she relaxed from the grueling events of the day. When the noise became consistent, she threw her legs off her bed with her eyes partially open. Rubbing on it, she got off and then headed to the kitchen to get herself a glass of water. She had just placed the empty glass on the counter when she saw another glass on the counter, this time around it contained another liquid. Trying to wrap her head around what she had seen, she parted her lips as she racked her head only for the faint sound of a footstep to filter into her ears. Scared to the bones, she ran to the telephone only to discover that the wires had been disconnected, this did nothing but to increase her fright.With cold beads of sweat breaking out on her forehead, she kept darting her eyes around as she thought of her next step of action. “What have I gotten my
Liam on the other hand had been watching Alaric through the camera he had at his house — the necklace which adorned Kaylan's neck. Kaylan on her part had no idea about it since Liam had given it to her as a gift which she wasn't prepared to let go off. “I wonder what is going to happen next.” Rose commented, moving around until Liam grabbed the arm of the chair. Pulling her up, he pushed her towards the bathroom. “You stink, go clean up.” He had his nose scrunched up like the odor was offensive. Dave who was currently with them at that time wasn't left out as they watched a furious Rose stomp off. Just when Alaric was about to pull Kaylan by her hair, Liam dialed his phone and immediately the call went through, he received it, stepping away from her. “Are you calling to check up on Kaylan?” Alaric asked with a smirk dancing on his lips. Casting a glance to Kaylan who was just staring when in the real sense she wanted to yell out to Liam for help, he let out a low chuckle. “Wha
A few days later…Liam was busy trying to come up with the proposal for the project he had to submit the next meeting which is the next day when Alaric barged into his office. Feigning not to have an idea of his presence, Liam continued what he was doing only for Alaric to lean over the table, causing him to raise his head. “What do you want?” Liam huffed, tilting his head to the side as he drummed his fingers against the table. “I had no idea that the president could fall for your tricks.” He laughed, hitting his hands together. “I'm so surprised that at first I thought he was giving you accolades only to discover he shared that with me out of pain.” He shrugged, smacking his lips. “Not going to lie, you are a genius.” He wanted to go on but Liam was too busy to give him the audience which he wanted. Crossing his hand on the table with his gaze fixated on him, he said, “I don't think you came here to ask how I managed to trick your boss.” He huffed. Leaning even more closely n
Unlike the previous times when Karl would go around in circles before stating the reason for his invitation, he went straight to the point. He scrunched up his already wrinkled face in anger as he pointed his middle finger at Liam who wore a calm expression. “Are you seriously taking my leniency for granted?” He yelled at Liam who was unfazed with all of his drama. “You never had Nolan in your custody, why then did you decide to pull that trick? Are you trying to make fun of my old age?” He yelled again and this time around, he sent his fist into the chair he was occupying. Making him even more furious, Liam didn't say anything as he watched him pace around, trying to get a grip of himself. Just when he wanted to start a round of his ranting, Liam cleared his throat and at once he shifted his gaze to him, his brows creased as he urged him to speak with his eyes.“Kaylan is innocent. I couldn't allow you to shed innocent blood.” Liam said with his hands folded in front of him. Hi
