I snuggled over on him and hugging his warm body tightly, I felt his arm around my waist. I can hear his heartbeat, every beat was sending calmness. He rubbed my back and I slowly opened my eyes looking up on me. He was busied on his phone and he looked at me blankly. I smiled at him, and he just smirked, I'm happy waking up with him. He pushed my hair at the back of my ear

"Beautiful."He said lowly. I smiled as I feel the giraffe on my stomach kicking. He said beautiful were in fact I just wake up. My hands still hurt and also my butt and head, specifically my whole body. I looked at my hand with bandages and try to close open, I hissed.

"Stupid." I heard him said. I just rolled my eyes and stood up entering the bathroom. I felt dizzy, I hold tight to the sink to maintain my balance. I took a deep breath before getting out, Kiari was not here anymore, maybe he's in the kitchen. I went to the kitchen and saw him cooking for our breakfast.

"What's that?" I asked pointing to the pink rolled dished.

"Strawberry waffle." He said blankly and slice a strawberry and put it directly into my mouth. I nodded as I bite the strawberry.

"You're good at cooking, Huh," I said torturing the waffles inside my mouth. "How did you learn all of these?" I asked pointing to other dishes.

"Training." He said blankly. I nodded and he continues cooking the waffles.

"I want to cook as well," I said holding his arms like a cry baby. He looked at me with his burning gazed. And he stopped what he doing and pushed me to sit. I rolled my eyes and tugged my lips.

"Don't move." He said deeply and I gave him a questioning look.

"You're clumsy stupid." He said blankly turning back at me and continue his cooking.

"Oh M G!" I shouted and Kiari looked at me with his furrowed eyebrows. Darren Chen was so handsome, He's like an angel. I stalked his timeline and placing my phone at the table stood up and grabbed the pitcher from the fridge. Kiari grabbed my phone from the table and looking at the picture his face was indescribable.

"Who's this ?" He asked holding up my phone.

"Darren," I said smiling brightly.

"Yeah?" I asked waiting for the cookies.

"I going to the office later, Don't go out call me if you need anything. "He said seriously and gulp his juice. I nodded and continue eating.

"Do not open the door." He said reassuring me. I nodded again.

Kiari left me here alone the condo. And I don't know what to do, I don't want to watch movies. I don't want to sleep. I'm drained maybe because of yesterday?

I try to sleep but after one hour I was still trying, no progress.

________________________________________________Kiari

I head to the office, Dad will be closing his deal to the new partners. He introduced me to them and I stared at them blankly.

After that, Dad handed me an invitation. Party for the stakeholders, I don't like this kind of party.

"Kiari," Dad called me and I looked at him blankly.

"You should come, Son," he said he must be drained.

"Okay, I'll be there Dad," I said and he looked at me surprised, surprised that I call him Dad again. He walked closer and hugged me. I dabbed his shoulder.

"Thanks, Son." He said and let go of embracing me. I went to the parking lot heading to the warehouse.

When I got to the warehouse I strolled inside. Looking for Baron.

"Ugly."He greeted and I smirked rolling my eye.

"Update," I said deeply blank.

"Well, Timothy seems like he was still hiding," he said crossing his arm.

"Where?" I said lifting my eyebrows.

"So how's life?" He asked looking at me.

"cool," I said quietly.

"Was Selina's pregnant now?" He said and I throw him with my burning gaze. He chuckled. "Weak" He added.

"Shut up Idiot," I said and went back inside my car.

I speed up to highways, I like racing competing cars with random people on the streets.

I entered my condo, heading straight to the bedroom. My heartbeat stopped Selina was laying on the bed with drops of blood. I quickly walked to her and try to wake her up.

"Selina," I said angrily at the same time nervously. She groaned and I flipped her over.

"Selina. What happened who the fuck done this." I asked forcing her to answer.

"Shut up." She said irritated. "Kiari." She said quietly.

"Why? what are you feelin' right now?" I said checking her body maybe there's a gunshot or stabbed.

"Kiari." He called me.

"What?!" I asked angrily irritated.

"Get out!" She shouted I looked at her madly puzzled.

"The fuck?" I asked her, I don't get it. "Selina come on let's go to the hospital," I said holding her hand but she's shaking her head.

"Kiari Uhmm...maybe... because Tiffany wasn't picking up my call...and I really need something right now..." She said not looking at me.

"You need what? tell me." I said and she covers her face with a pillow.

"Selina I'm waiting," I said irritated. I can't move freely to this suit, I hate wearing tuxedos.

"Napkin." She said I nodded, and I walked outside she should have told me ASAP that she wants napkin. I went to the kitchen grabbing some table napkin and walked fast back to the bedroom.

And hand her the napkin.

She looked at me with death glare and rolled her eyes. And she grabbing the napkin off my hands and threw it on me. And she grabbed the small pebbles from flowers pot and start launching it one by one at me.

"Get out!" She shouted. I hold her hand and looked at him.

"I don't get you.Selina." I said mad.

"Just call Tiffany." She said angry and I grabbed her phone calling tiffany. I shook my head she's not picking up.

"Sure?" She asked in confirmation, I rolled my eyes.

"Spill it," I said and she nodded.

"Sister." She said she's crazy. I looked at her puzzled.

"I can't give you Sister. I can give you a daughter." I said deeply serious. And she smacked me she's getting brutal.

"Stop that green mind of yours." She shouted grimacing.

"Call Cilia." She said breathing rapidly. I quickly call Cilia.

"Selina let's just go to the hospital," I said standing up. After the second Cilia pick up the phone.

I passed the phone to her.

"Hello, Cil?" She asked. "Where are you right now?" Why does keep asking?

"Oh, party? Okay, enjoy." She said and hanged up the call.

"Kiari you know about girls red days?"She asked and I nodded.

"Buy me pads. Please." She said begging me. I sighed there's nothing I can do.

Fuck making the notorious Killer buy pads for someone? I didn't see this coming.

"Ouch." She said holding her stomach contorting in pain.

I sprinted to the parking lot and heading to a store.

"Hi, Sir how may I help you?" The sales lady asked me.

"Pads," I said deeply serious.

"This way Sir." She said leading me the way. I loosen my necktie.

"What kind of pads?" She asked scanning those pads box.

"The best and expensive," I said and she nodded try to stope her snickering.

"With wings or without?" She asked furrowed her eyebrows.

"What's the fucking difference. I'll buy both." I said coldly and she nodded handing me the pads. I quickly pulled it and walked fast outside. This is embarrassing!

I went back to the condo and threw her the pads. I sighed.

"That's embarrassing," I said changing my clothes.

"Thank you, Love." She said lowly and all my angered vanished.

She walked getting inside the bathroom. I call the hotel utility to cleaned up the mess.

She walked out of the bathroom holding his belly. I assisted her but she pushed me away. She exited the room, seat on the couch, and resting her head. I stared at her blankly and she looked at me with her burning gaze.

"Do you want me to grab your eyeballs?" She asked sarcastically. I rolled my eyes.

"I want Ice cream." She said out of nowhere. I grabbed my phone and call the ice cream shop for delivery.

I seat beside her and she hugged me tightly, I hugged her tightly and I feel her hand pulled my hair one by one. Red days making them crazy. The Ice cream came and I hand it to her she smiles widely and starts eating.

"TSS," I said crossing both arms and legs. She points directly the spoon with Ice cream in my mouth. I looked at him nonchalantly.

"Ahh," She said opening her mouth, convincing me to do the same. I shook my head, I don't like Ice cream.

"Try it."She said smiling playfully.

I open my mouth and swallowed the Ice cream. Well, it's good.

I nodded and snatched my phone from the table and scanned. Read the ignore messages. While she's busy enjoying her ice cream.

"Hey Kiddoo," She said kicking me.

"Don't call me that," I said deeply. If she just knows how much I hated that word.

"Okay then, hey! cockroach." She said loudly and kicking me.

"What?" I asked irksomely.

"You have a class today, don't you?" She asked lifting her eyebrows. frowned.

"And so?" I said furrowed.

"Why are you still here?" She asked putting the cup of Ice cream on the table.

"I just want to, "I said casually and scrolling up and down on my phone.

"Whatever." She said heading to the kitchen. And got back holding one cup of Ice cream again. And eat when she's done she laid down on my thighs, brushing my hair. I let her do what she wants. I brushed her hair slowly without looking on her, I was focusing on my phone about the company stocks.

When I looked down at her she's sleeping.

Someone's pressing the doorbell, I slowly pulled her head up and placing a pillow. I stood up and walked over through the door, I opened slowly giving him a way to get in.

"Son." He said and sighed then, roamed his gaze around. And it landed on Selina, she's sleeping peacefully. He smirked with a little smile.

"Go home." He said deeply. I just stared at him blankly.

"I won't go home without her," I said darkly and he nodded.

"Then, bring her to the house." He said and I looked at him straightly in the eyes, stunned to what I heard.

"Son, the house was yours. You can live there with someone you want to live with." He said his face brighten up.

"I'm thirsty." He said sitting on the couch. Looking at Selina. I walked heading to the kitchen, grabbing a glass of water, and hand it to him.

"She's gorgeous." He said looking on the sleeping Selina.

"You have a good taste, Son." He said chuckled quietly.

"Let's talk," I said and walked to my office. He followed leisurely.

"Dad," I said looking on him blankly.

"Thank you," I said without throwing glances on him.

"Son, Thank you for giving me a chance to be a father." He said sincerely and I nodded.

The lasting I knew we're chattering about random stuffed feeling comfortable. What they said was real you can only feel free when you forgive.

"She's stupid," I said when Dad asked how was Selina.

"Haha your rude to him aren't you?" He asked laughing. I shook my head and sighed.

"She made me buy pads," I asked madly.

"Just like your Mom." He said quietly. 

"My Mom?" I asked.

"Yeah, your Mom and I are college best friend not until we married in the name of the business." He said quietly. I nodded I don't know what to say.

"Your Mom made me buy her pads when we are in school that's embarrassing." He said unbelievably. "She's a genuine Son, take good care of her." He said and he stood up.

We exited the office and saw Selina. Wearing her coat, I looked at her puzzled. She looked down when she saw Dad.

"Where are you going?" I asked blankly. She looked at my Dad.

"Hi, Mr. Zyne." She greeted my Dad smile.

"I told you to call him Dad," I said seriously. She looked at me shocked embarrassed. Dad laughed and tapped my shoulder.

"Selina, Call me what my Son wants." He said smiling shaking his head and get out of my condo.

Selina looked at me with a big question mark on his face.

"Tss," I smirked. " Where are you going?" I asked referring to her suit.

"I'm looking for you." She said innocently.

I pulled her and hugged her tightly, she squeezed resting her head on my chest. She's comfortable. Hugging her made me realized one thing.

I killed more than hundreds of people and one person can kill me without guns and bruises. She can kill me longing for her hugs and kisses.
