28 DO YOU WANT TO SEE HIM?

Maybe I am too late to be your first, but right now, I am preparing myself to be your last.

-Unknown-

*****************

Two men were bleeding profusely on the floor, when Knox left the room to take a phone call, as he didn’t want the caller to hear their whimpers and screams of agitation and anguish.

He let those two jerks be handled by his men.

“Yes, love...” his voice turned gentler and the murderous aura that surrounded him instantly dissipated, as if he was just a normal human being, though he was a far cry from any human.

Knox was silent for a moment, listening to whatever the caller said, as a soft smile tugged on the corners of his lips. It went without saying that he loved to hear her voice.

“I am afraid I can’t go,” he said tenderly and listened to the whining voices from the other end of the call. “But, I will try. I will be there as soon as possible.”

Knox listened to her chatter, she was throwing a tantrum now, and there was nothing he wanted to do but to go to her right away, yet he couldn’t do that, there were matters at hand that he needed to handle.

.....

Because once he had her in his arms, the only thing that he wanted was to bend her body over and make love to her until only his name that she could remember, or just sit silently, watching some romantic drama that she loved with her head on his shoulder, as she teased him that he should learn some romantic acts.

“I will go to you as soon as possible.” Knox raised his hand when one of his men approached him, signaling him to keep quiet and stay where he was. “I need to go love, I will call you soon.”

He heard her grumble, but then she relented, and after a few coaxing words, Knox cut the phone call.

“What is the matter?” Knox asked the man, who handed him another phone.

“There is someone from Orioch international school,” he said. “The principal wants to talk to you, sir.”

Orioch international school was the famous and the most reputed school in this country, which was located in Fokosa city. The city where they were living.

“Orioch International school?” Knox frowned. “What do they want?” However, before he could hear the answer, Knox remembered what Gael had done. “That bastard,” he hissed under his breath and snatched the phone from the man, then waved his hand at him, so he could leave.

Knox just remembered what Gael had done. He had put that annoying little girl under his name and made her his daughter. Bastard! He would gladly skin him alive.

“Yes?” Knox answered the phone call grumpily.

He listened to the boring introduction and the explanation why this phone call was made. Apparently, Blue had fought with some random kid and the school wanted to take some action in this regard, since this was not the first time Blue was found fighting other students.

“Did the kid die?”

Knox could hear a sharp intake of breath from the other side of the call, but after that he heard the principal answer him. “No.”

“Was he sent to the hospital?”

“No, but the problem is; this is not the first time Blue McKeltar attacked her friends.” He took a deep breath, before he reasoned with him. “Mr, McKeltar, I know you are busy,” the principal spoke softly to him, as he knew very well the surname McKeltar was not of some random family that could be taken lightly, but it was necessary for the father to know about their daughter’s behavior at school.

“I am busy.” Knox cut him off immediately. The last thing he wanted to do now was to tend to the child’s problems. However, before he could cut the call, he heard Blue’s voice, screaming at the top of her lungs, saying something like; ‘I smell the coffee scent. You must come here. Hurry!’

Knox had heard from Chaos that the girl apparently was able to smell the shattered pieces of his soul.

“Yes, I know you are a very busy person Mr. McKeltar, but I am afraid...”

And Knox cut him off for the second time.

“I will be there.”

==================

“Lise, are you there?” That was a stupid question to ask, since she knew that her stepsister was inside her room. “I will come in, okay?”

Trisha entered the room, after she used the spare key to open it. Because, just like what she had predicted, Lise had locked her door, but fortunately, she pulled out the key.

She entered the room and heard soft sobs. All the curtains inside the room were drawn and the lamps were not put on, thus it was slightly dark here.

“Lise?” Trisha called her when she approached the bed and saw the blanket trembling. She sat down on the edge of the bed and pulled the cover. “What happened?”

Lise covered her face with both her palms, as she curled into a fetal position.

“Lise?” Trisha tugged her hand gently and caressed her head. “Did Mr. McKeltar hurt you again?”

Her sobs turned into a messy cry now. She was trembling violently and Trisha bent down to hug her.

“I am sorry that you have to go through this,” she said. She could do nothing to make her feel better and there was no amount of words that could make Lise stop crying in a short time.

Therefore, the only thing that Trisha could do was to make sure that Lise didn’t feel alone right now, as she hugged her tightly.

The room was filled with Lise’s sobs and Trisa occasional comforting murmurs like; It’s okay. It will be fine.

Only after Lise’s cries had subsided, that she spoke about the reason why she came to replace her.

“Sol is downstairs, mother didn’t allow him to enter the house, but he insists on meeting you,” Trisha told her. “Do you want to see him?”
