“Yes,” Akim nodded with admiration in his eyes.
“He needs to rest,” Emily’s voice was taut, Kai noticed. Why was she so sensitive about her son and why had she been dyeing his hair black when it was blonde all this moment.
Something clicked in Kai’s head abruptly, Ahmed wasn’t blonde neither was Emily, the only blonde person she dated was… him? No way.
“The boy needs to have a rest,” Emily’s forehead wrinkled from worry. Prince Kai was staring at her son intensely, did he find something out? Sure, he must have looked into her background since he has the intention of doing business with her.
That statement must have woke him from his thought because when his eyes found hers, the truth was there. She understood that enlightened orbs.
“Let’s go outside. Cecil, help take care of Akim for me, I’ll be back briefly,” She at once grabbed his hand, beginning to lead him out of the room. She dragged him to the hospital garden, with thankfully few people around.
“What do you want from me?” Emily asked him sternly. He was strangely interested in her and Akim and didn’t like it one bit.
“That’s not Ahmed’s son, is he?” Kai asked, eyes boring into hers.
“What rubbish are you talking about and why are you unhealthily nosy about my family?” She hid her nervousness.
“Answer my damn question, Emily!” He boomed at her, she almost jumped.
“It’s none of your business! Why are you so interested in another person’s family?! ” She yelled back.
“Because I’m Judy!” He pulled off the mask at the same time as his words were uttered.
Emily’s eyes grew wide, her jaw dropped, nor did she move; her feet were stuck to the ground. For a minute, no one said a word, just staring at each other. How was this possible?
“G-ghost,” She choked and fainted.
“Emily!” Kai caught her before she could touch the ground. Seriously, this was the reason he wanted to take everything slowly but then, fate always seems to have a plan of its own.
When Emily woke up, she found herself on a hospital bed. What the hell? She had the strangest dream where she saw…
“Judy?” she sat up abruptly, discerning a figure sitting on the edge of her bed.
“Emily,” He responded.
Oh my God, it wasn’t a dream.
The sleep in her eyes cleared at once, giving her a clear view of his face. It was him.
Tears clouded her vision as she moved to clasp his face with both hands, “It’s really you,” her words were a whisper while tracing his features.
“Oh my God, you’re alive,” Her hands shook before she lowered her head and kissed him hard on the lips; pouring all her relief, anger, and words she could not say into that kiss.
Judy kissed her back, his arms wrapped securely around her waist, afraid to let go and realize this moment was not real. Fate has given him another chance and he would take advantage of it – and pay back his oppressors in their own coin.
Reina’s POV
The past few days have been a war. It seems it wasn’t only Niles I had to look out for, but his cousin too. I wonder what Maria must have done in her past life to attract such douchebags and now Reina has to clean up the mess. This is why today I would be having a meeting with Eden, the disturber.
That man was quite persistent and sly, I had refused meeting with him – Niles was enough trouble- but he just had a way of cornering me and now I had no choice but to agree to a meeting.
Since the meeting was scheduled in the afternoon, I decided to enjoy my morning or so I thought.
The doorbell rang.
I was on alert, I wasn’t expecting anybody neither was it any of my people – they would have alerted me beforehand. So I carefully made my way to the door and looked through the peephole, there was nobody.
Maybe, it was just a prank.
A family was living in the opposite apartment on the same floor that had these children that does that.
However, I hardly took a step forward when the bell rang again. I shut my eyes tight, someone was getting on my nerves. Was this an expensive joke or what?
But then, just to be sure, I picked up my gun from the table where I had kept it and hid in the waistband of my pants before going to answer the door.
I opened the door cautiously with one hand while the other was readily accessible to the gun from behind in case push comes to shove. Peering out from the door left and right, the hallway was empty.
“Hi mom,” Someone jumped into my view out of nowhere.
“Christ, Jesus!” I almost aimed the gun at Ailee, my daughter, “What were you thinking scaring me like that?”
“Hi mom,” Allen made his own appearance.
“Oh,” I should have known. Ailee without Allen was an incomplete equation.
“Who sent you both here?” I kept the gun away and folded my arms across my chest, knowing their grandfather wouldn’t send them out to me after knowing they were in danger of being discovered by Niles.
“We sneaked out,” Ailee was quick to add, “But we came with a guard,”
Oh, Ailee, always the master planner. She knew I would chew them alive if they didn’t come with protection.
“Why are you here?” I asked them.
I know, yeah, what an odd question for a mother to ask her kids but if you’ve lived with them for seven years, you’d understand why the caution sign is placed in a dangerous area.
“Because I missed you, even if Allen didn’t,” Ailee went ahead to pout her lips, wrapping her arms around my waist playfully.
And yes, she’s always the first to diss Allen – after supporting him.
My gaze rested on Allen, our eyes met, he looked away yet muttered, “I’m sorry for my behavior the past days,”
I was surprised hearing that from Allen, the boy had an ego as huge as an elephant. That must have been hard for him to say.
“Well, I’m sorry too. You have the right to know who your father is, son. But just give me a little time and soon you both would meet him,”
I watched his gaze move to his sister, they communicated something through their eyes – I just hope that was positive information.
“Sure,” they answered at the same time.
“So can we spend time with you, mommy?” Ailee pressed.
My sixth sense told me something was not right yet I waved it off. How could I resist my wonderful kids?
So I let them into my apartment with a grin. I had been so harsh on them lately, it wouldn’t be bad to spoil them rotten this morning.
I couldn’t go out with them and even if we did, they had almost everything they could ever want from a store.
We ended up playing video games for two hours before moving over to baking. We competed with each other on who was going to make the best cake.
It was quite fun because we wasted flour – I included – turns out the kitchen was not meant for me. Allen had the best cake – but not to a professional level- yet we had enjoyed eating it.
After that, we were so exhausted that we sprawled undignified on the couch until Ailee suggested I braid her hair.
I was so glad by her warm request, I had always wanted to do that for my kid when she’s of age. I was engrossed with that joy that it took me five minutes to realize Allen was no longer with us.
“Where’s Allen?” I asked, reality dawning on me. Allen, being left to roam around unsupervised was not a good thing especially if he had a motive in mind.
