Chapter 28


    A Reunion ALEJANDRO ” Alejandro . ” Scarlett said as we entered the mansion . I paused , ncing


    over my shoulder at her as she shut the front door . ” Kiara is with the girls today . ” The sting in my chest


    was like a fucking punch , but I kept my face passive and nodded . She didn’t want to see me …


    ” Then you and Elijah should take a guest room for the night , I’ll stay with Dante . Concern and


    something else that I couldn’t make out , crossed her face , but she was good at masking her emotions


    and I couldn’t really read her . She nodded . ” Goodnight . ” ” 1 H ” Night . ” I replied as she walked past


    me and up the stairs .


    I looked at the time on my watch ; it waste … ‘ Kiara ? ‘ I called through the link , but I reached a wall .


    Again . I walked down the hall and down the stairs to the wine cer , then took a bottle . I guess this was


    going to be mypany tonight … I grabbed a ss and some ice from the kitchen before I headed


    upstairs to Dante’s room


    , just as Elijah and Scarlett stepped out of his room . ” 1 … a hand , I think it’s been removed recently . ”


    Scarlett was saying . Elijah was frowning deeply , giving me a nod before I entered my own bedroom and


    grabbed myptop . Kiara’s scent lingered and I found momentary calmness before I left the room going


    to Dante’s .


    Settling down on the couch , I poured myself a ss and began to do some research instead . With


    Kiara fucking pissed at me I won’t be able to sleep . I nced at the sleeping boy before I got to work …


    ” Daddy ! Daddy ! ” I woke with a start , realising I had fallen asleep on the couch . Myptop sat on my


    legs , and I could feel the kink in my neck . Dante sat up slowly as Kataleya rushed into the room , her


    eyes wide and her heart beating erratically .


    ” What is it , princess ? ” I asked , catching her and cing theptop aside with one hand . ” Raihana


    said Enrique is here ! ” The happiness in her voice was fucking making it hard for me to tell her that I


    didn’t want her seeing him …. ” He is … but Kat listen , you can’t see him . ” ” Why not ? Daddy , he’ll be


    scared .


    ” She worried , her lips trembling . That pup was definitely not scared … or he was just good at masking


    his emotions . ” Look … He’s in a room just in case , for safety measures , his father isn’t a good man


    and we can’t trust him … ” Her happiness faded as she let my words sink in , and she quickly got off my


    lap ” But Daddy , Enrique is a nice boy . May I see him ? ” I sighed inwardly . She was not going to drop


    it … I just didn’t want her seeing him there ..


    . ” Yeah , we’ll go after breakfast . I wanted your Mom to go see him too , he has a few bruisés . ” I


    replied , ruffling her hair . Her smile returned and she rushed from the room , calling for Kiara . I turned to


    Dante , who was sitting there , arms crossed , a frown on his face . ” You ok ? ” ” She need not get too


    attached .


    ” He remarked coldly before turning his back and pulling the nket back over him . I ran my hand


    through my hair . I fucking do not get kids . It was a whileter and I had just gotten dressed in a ck


    shirt and pants with a leather belt , Kiara had expertly been able to avoid me , first showering and then


    getting the girls ready but now when


    I stepped out , fully dressed , she was finishing off doing her hair . She was wearing a pale pink halter


    top that left her entire back on view paired with fitted ck jeans . Her hair pulled up into a bun on top of


    her head , a few strands framed her face , she slid a final pin into her hair and picked up her mascara .


    Usually , she would put on a lot


    more make – up and jewellery , but since everything had happened she had stopped . I knew she was


    just trying to appear normal for the kids when she was worried . I leaned against the door as she stood


    up , hearing her heart skip a beat as I walked over to her . I wrapped my arms around her from behind ,


    burying my head into her neck , inhaling her intoxicating scent , relishing in the sparks of our touch . Fuck


    … She rxed into my arms


    , I knew she couldn’t resist me , even if she was fucking upset with me . ” Did Kataleya tell you about


    going to see the kid after breakfast ? ” I asked quietly . ” She did , she went to ask ire to prepare a


    meal for him too . She said she’ll eat with him . ” She replied , her voice soft , yet I could sense her


    disappointment in it . Because of me … ” Yeah ? And what about you ? Still not going to look me in the


    eye ? ” I asked , looking down at her as she stared ahead .


    She turned her head and looked at me . For the first time , I realised her eyes looked tired and maybe a


    tad fucking red . I hated her upset , I bent down , pressing my lips to her plush ones , kissing her slowly


    and snaking one hand around Her throat as I deepened the kiss . She kissed me back , our bodies


    reacting to one another ,


    the pleasure coursing through us both , her ass brushing against my crotch . I pulled away , my eyes


    shing red as 1 did my best not to let my emotions loose . There was something about Kiara that


    messed with my head . I could be angry with her , but I still needed her , like a fucking drug to survive .


    She was my lifeline and as much as she fucked with my sanity , at the same time , she was what kept


    me fucking grounded and rational . ” You could burn down the world and I’d still love you


    . ” She whispered like a promise in the stars , tilting her chin up as she stared into my eyes . The single


    light in my dark ones …. ” But you won’t stand by my side and support me . ” I replied quietly . If she


    didn’t approve …. She wasn’t going to be there … Just howst night she had shut me out . A sh of


    hurt filled her eyes before she looked away . ” I’m sorry , but there are things I don’t approve of . ” She


    whispered . ” When you see him , I’m sure you’ll believe it was better for him .


    He’s missing a hand , and I don’t think he was born that way . Besides , he refuses to speak . She


    frowned , her heart skipping a beat . ” I will take a look at him , maybe he’ll talk to me . ” She replied ,


    concerned . ” Yeah , probably . ” I replied . She was the fucking light to my darkness and the one who


    had a better heart . ”


    ” Don’t do that . ” ” What ? ” ” You’re thinking negatively about 11 yourself again . ” Our eyes met and the


    urge to fucking kiss all over again was threatening to break through , but at the same time , I was trying


    to fucking keep myself in control so we could talk .  ” Hard not to when I’m obviously not making the ‘


    good ‘ fucking choice . ” I replied coldly , knowing that came out harsher than it should have . I let go of


    her and turned away . I hated arguing with her ,


    I hated when we didn’t agree … Her silence was painful , but she didn’t reply . ” Let’s head down to


    breakfast . ” ” F There it was again . Another conversation that fucking ended in disagreement . We left


    our room , side by side , yet the conflict between us was fucking suffocating . The smell of several dishes


    being cooked promised a big breakfast full of variety , but I didn’t have a fucking appetite . Breakfast was


    over . Kiara , Kataleya , and I were heading to headquarters .


    Kataleya was holding the basket with the food in it . She had refused to have breakfast , saying she was


    going to eat with Enrique . I wasn’t happy with that , but Kiara had said she could . Her excitement was


    palpable , she was two steps ahead of us , her feet barely hitting the ground as she tried to contain her


    happiness , reaching the doors of the building first . My men opened them when I gave them a small nod


    and we all stepped inside . It wasn’t the first time Kataleya had been here , but she hadn’t seen the cells .


    Luckily , the room I was keeping the pup in was more a questioning room that had been transformed into


    a bedroom for him , and it wasn’t too far down . We walked through the corridors , stopping at a metal


    door . Kataleya was frowning now . ” Daddy , why is he here ? ” She asked . Kiara crossed her arms and


    looked at me questioningly too . ” To keep him safe . ” I responded curtly , unlocking the door . We


    stepped into the darker corridor and I went to the door where two guards stood outside . ” How is he ? ” ”


    He didn’t sleep , nor did he touch


    anything . He’s been standing all night . ” One of the men , Arnold said emotionlessly . The second one ,


    Milo , shook his head sympathetically . ” ” I tried to talk to him , but he ignored me . ” ” Open the door . ”


    Kiaramanded coldly , her eyes shing . The mother in her was not going to let this slide .


    The men obliged , and Kiara was the first to enter , with Kataleya hurrying behind her . I looked at the


    boy who was standing , arms crossed in the middle of the room , a frown on his face as his cold eyes


    met mine . ” Enrique ! ” Kataleya eximed , rushing passed Kiara and over to the boy . He looked at her


    indifferently , and if I didn’t know better , one would fucking think he didn’t even know her . AN ” Look


    Enrique , I brought breakfast . You gave me food , so I give you food now . ” She said cing the basket


    on the bed .


    One that had not been slept in or even touched . ” I don’t need it . Leave . ” He spat coldly , making my


    eyes sh . No one talks to my daughter like that . I stepped forward , but Kiara blocked my way ,


    stepping in front of me as she gently ced her hands on Kataleya’s shoulders . I didn’t miss sh of


    surprise in the child’s eyes at Kiara’s move when she blocked me . ” Enrique , it’s nice to meet you .


    Kataleya has spoken a lot about you . ” . ”


    She said , her voice soft and soothing . ” The chica has some misconception ; I don’t want to talk to her .


    ” He stated looking directly at Kiara . Kataleya’s heart was beating faster than it fucking should , and this


    kid was fucking pissing me off . ” Enrique … ” She whispered before gasping and jumping toward him . ”


    What happened to your hand ?! ” He stepped back harshly , ring at her . ” It’s not your business . ” He


    spat .


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    ” Did your papa do that ? ” She asked horrified . I nced up sharply , hearing the skip of his heartbeat .


    ” It’s none of your business . ” He turned his back on us and Kiara looked at me , her gorgeous face pale


    , and she let go of Kataleya . Reaching for the boy , she ced her hand on his shoulder . He was about


    to push her away ,


    but she knocked his hand aside , keeping her grip firm on his arm as her aura grew around her . He


    struggled violently as she tried to heal him . 11 ” Calm down , please let me heal you Kiara said softly yet


    firmly . He was doing well trying to get free , but she was far stronger . Soon he stopped struggling as


    Kataleya stood a few feet away , watching with her eyes wide with concern and fear . ” What the … let go


    of me ! ” He hissed . ” All done . ” Kiara replied , letting go of him and moving back . ‘ He had many


    broken bones , Alejandro . ‘


    ” Well , just imagine if he was left there . ‘ I added , raising an eyebrow at her . She frowned slightly but I


    had a feeling she was d he was removed from that fucked up situation . ”


    Enrique , we aren’t here to hurt you , Kataleya was worried about- ” ” So , this is her fault ?! ” He turned


    his gaze on her , and I strode over , picked her up and gave him a warning re . ” I did not ask for help ,


    nor did I need it ! ” ” Your father hurt her enough , I will not tolerate you speaking to her like that . ” I


    growled , holding Kataleya close . ” Don’t Daddy … he took care of me . ” ” She whispered , cupping my


    face . Yeah , well , he’s a little fucker .


    ” It wasn’t worth it . I should have left you in that basement . ” He replied coldly , his eyes haunted with


    anguish . His gaze fell to his right arm once again and I saw him clench his left fist . ‘ Kiara , take Kat . ‘ I


    said through the link , hoping she just listened .


    But her eyes were on the boy . ‘ Al … you take Kat , I’ll question him . I will be able to find out if he’s lying


    or telling the truth . ‘ She had a point , and so I looked down at my little angel . ”


    Come on , Kataleya , he’s just a little upset . Let’s go outside ? ” She nodded , her lips quivering as she


    stared at the pup , but being the ass he was , he didn’t even look at her I nced at his hand , feeling my


    stomach fucking twist . Something told me my assumption may be fucking correct … If this pup lost his


    hand because he helped Kat … Then I was fucking indebted to him for life … I turned around and walked


    out , leaving Kiara with the pup .
