Novel Drama Chapter 28
Chapter 28
A Reunion ALEJANDRO ” Alejandro . ” Scarlett said as we entered the mansion . I paused , glancing 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 was late … ‘ Kiara ? ‘ I called through the link , but I reached a wall . Again . I walked down the hall and down the stairs to the wine cellar , then took a bottle . I guess this was going to be my company tonight … I grabbed a glass 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 my laptop . 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 glass and began to do some research instead . With Kiara fucking pissed at me I won’t be able to sleep . I glanced at the sleeping boy before I got to work … ” Daddy ! Daddy ! ” I woke with a start , realising I had fallen asleep on the couch . My laptop 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 placing the laptop 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 blanket back over him . I ran my hand through my hair . I fucking do not get kids . It was a while later and I had just gotten dressed in a black 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 black 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 relaxed 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 Claire 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 flashing 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 novelbin
. ” 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 how last night she had shut me out . A flash 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 . ” Kiara commanded coldly , her eyes flashing . 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 exclaimed , 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 placing 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 flash . No one talks to my daughter like that . I stepped forward , but Kiara blocked my way , stepping in front of me as she gently placed her hands on Kataleya’s shoulders . I didn’t miss flash 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 , glaring at her . ” It’s not your business . ” He spat .
” Did your papa do that ? ” She asked horrified . I glanced 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 placed 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 glad 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 glare . ” 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 glanced 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 .
