After three days of no touching at all, with Kaden's patience being tested every single minute, they finally returned to the hospital for his personal examination. They'd utilize samples of his seed, thus escorting him into a clean room with magazines and television. But he didn't need any of that. He simply requested the company of his wife. At his request, she blushed deeply and shoved him into the room alone. This man was crazy! She could hear his deep chuckle even from the other end of the corridor.…-

The entire time they were in the hospital, Lina was mute. Her silence was beginning to even worry the doctors who'd occasionally glanced at Kaden like he'd murder them any minute. She went through the check-up and procedure first. Then, it was Kaden's turn. The doctor asked them all sorts of questions, from childhood to surgeries to any conditions they had as an infant or baby. And because they had intercourse the previous day, Kaden would have to go back for another examination in two days. He needed…

The car ride to the restaurant was deafeningly quiet. Through the side mirror, she saw Sebastian's car trailing them. One text from Kaden sent the vehicle in the opposite direction. She peered at him. Studying him. Gauging him. Lina realized he must have left his office in the middle of his shift. His tie was still prim and proper. Not a hair out of place. Yet, he tried to shoot Atlantis. Well, not in the heart, but in the knees. Enough to make him limp forever. Sometimes, Lina didn't know who she…

Lina didn't know how long she had been out for, but it was long enough for Kaden to personally come to see her. She woke up, slumped against a black leather couch. It was cold. Like her First Uncle, William. That was how she knew she was in his office. That, and the armed men surrounding the vicinity. By the time Kaden silently strolled through the door, Lina knew something was about to go down. She opened her eyes, her vision dazed and hazy. She saw him still. His large posture. His fine suit. His…

"So this is how it will be," Lina said to herself. She watched everything play out like a scenic movie. A powerful gust of wind blew past Lina. Many people were approaching Kaden and the Princess. His eyes simply landed on the red thread that didn't lead to him.? Kaden let out a chuckle that was colder than death and darker than sins. "So this is how it will be," Kaden muttered. "Please wait!" the Princess sobbed out, running as fast as she could. "I beg of you, Kaden, please—" "Goodbye,…

Lina was stunned by his words. She could barely open her mouth. Instead, she stared at him wide-eyed. The room fell into a deathly silence. Even Atlantis stiffened behind her. It almost made her laugh. If she was pregnant with another man's child, would Atlantis stop pursuing her? Suddenly, the old man burst into a ripe chuckle. Goosebumps crawled up her arms. She was frightened by his menacing laughter. Unnerved by the cackling, she felt the sudden urge to run. She felt uncomfortable in his…

"Where's your grandfather?" Lina asked when she took a seat while ignoring? Atlantis who had stood up and had attempted to greet her. He should've expected as much from Lina. She had set boundaries. They were childhood friends, but all of a sudden, he was so formal with her. Lina missed the boy who only knew how to make jokes and beat people up. Now, he was plain. Boring. He was like every other businessman. Or maybe, he had grown up, and she was still a child. "Speaking to your Uncle," Atlantis told…

Kaden knew the truth, yet didn't tell her. Lina knew as much. It was written in his eyes and sworn to secrecy by his heart. She didn't understand why he refused to tell her. Did he want her to discover the truth on her own? To witness the horror with her own eyes? Lina thought about their conversation in the car ride to Yang Enterprise. Kaden knew everything, but revealed nothing. A man like him was not to be trusted. "You fool," Lina reprimanded herself. Lina trusted him with the most precious…

"I've decided you'll be the man of my destiny." Lina slid her hand over his, gripping it. She wasn't going to back down. She wasn't going to let some old man tell her otherwise. For all Lina knew, he could be manipulating her. "The man of your destiny?" Kaden echoed. Suddenly, a phone rang in the hallway. When they turned to look at the door, Theodore entered. "Atlantis." Theodore placed a hand to his chest and bowed. "Atlantis is calling again, Madam." Lina was surprised. She rose to her feet,…

Kaden slowly chewed his food. His jaw clenched and his eyes set ablaze. He shifted his attention to her. Lina was intimidated? by his sharp action. He knew how to bring someone to the edge of their seat. She was waiting for his every breath. Waiting for him to speak. Waiting for him to take action. Instead, he swallowed his food. Then, cleanly popped a cube of fruit into his mouth. All the while, he didn't break eye contact. "I wanted to know if it was because of something I said," Lina stated. "Is…
