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 .

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

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

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 …

, 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

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

. 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 ,

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

, 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

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

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

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

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

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

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
