CHAPTER 102: A DATE WITH THE DEVIL
Kali looked up at the house. If she could even call it that. Something about this family made them hungry for prime real estate. From the marble fountains to the immaculate shrubs and garden, the manor looked like it could have been owned by an Earl or a Duke. Kali wouldn't be surprised if she was told the building used to belong to one.
"Mrs. Madden?" Kali turned to the maid. "Are you looking for someone?"
She stuttered, finding herself as she got out of the car. "Yes. I am looking for Mr. Devon."
"Alright. Please come in." She began to walk Kali towards the house. "He hasn't been in the best health these past few weeks. I'll tell him you are here to see him, but I can't promise he would agree to sit with you. He hasn't had visitors in weeks."
"That's alright. If he won't see me, I'll leave a message."
She had come prepared for any event. She'd prefer to say all she had to to his face. If he refused, she had typed and printed a detailed letter exp

When Samuel arrived in the evening, he was surprised by Kali at the door. She jumped out of the shadows, scaring him before throwing herself in his arms. He caught her, bellowing with laughter as they kissed."I would assume your day went well?""I believe it did, but that's not why I am happy. I am happy to have you home."Samuel set her back on her feet and noticed the scarf she held in her hands."Are you cold?""No. It's for you.""Me?""Yes. For your eyes, darling."He complied, closing his eyes and allowing her to wrap the scarf around his head, sealing him in darkness. He followed her cautiously as she led him up the stairs and into their room. He scolded her lightheartedly when the door smacked into his chest."Hey!""Sorry." She stressed and led him still. "Sorry. We are here."She took the scarf off and stepped back. He kept his eyes closed, opening them carefully so he wasn't dazzled by the light
DANGEROUS GAMES CHAPTER 104: LOVING THE PAST THAT FORGOT YOU
Flora looked up at the house, trembling with anxiety and incredibly confused. The man who drove her to the home was as silent as a graveyard with a hard and unassuming stare. He didn’t even say a word when she turned her panicked eyes on him. He only indicated that she continued up the stairs.She had asked before what Claudius wanted to meet her, but the man had only grumbled, so she decided to follow his lead and walk into the house. He handed her over to a maid, who took her purse and jacket. She took Flora to a brightly lit room.“Mr. Devon?” The maid called, closing the door softly.He coughed, struggling to get comfortable on the bed. She rushed to help him. She adjusted his pillows and made him as comfortable as possible.“Please sit.” He wheezed, pointing to a chair in front of the bed.Flora carefully sat down, looking at the mass of machines connected to him. “Thank you. I am sorry. I had no idea you we
DANGEROUS GAMES CHAPTER 105: THE ONES WE LIED TO PROTECT
Samuel looked down at Kali as she slept, stretched out underneath the duvet. She had slept through the night and barely flinched when he got her out of the pool and to their room. She was exhausted, and he understood why. He decided to end the façade once and for all, so while he faced his family, he wanted her to rest.Samuel kissed her cheek softly before he left the house and headed for his parents. Luckily for him, everyone was present when he arrived. They were still slow from waking up, but they gathered around the table.“Is something wrong?” His father spoke first, taking a generous gulp from his cup of coffee.“Not anymore.”“What do you want to talk about then.”Samuel had not taken his eyes off his mother since she joined them. When he saw that she was slowly figuring out what he was there to do, he gave her a little smile before turning to a drowsy Giovanna.“Gio, you were right ab

“Have you spoken to your dad?”“Yes.”“Are you better?”“No.” Samuel shook his head, and Kali solemnly pressed against him. “He is not only angry with my silence but also with my mother. He doesn’t want the quarrel to overshadow my grandfather’s passing. He won’t address things now.”
DANGEROUS GAMES CHAPTER 107: THE ENDING, OF SORTS
Samuel looked at the restaurant as he stood against his car. It had been a month since his grandfather passed, and things in his family were still not back to normal. His father had forgiven him for his part in the lie, and he also forgave Kali because he believed they were pushed against the wall. But whatever quarrel he had with their mother was still going on. He had tried to talk himself out of tonight with the excuse of waiting for things to cool down. But, he decided against it.He looked back when he heard another car approaching. Sure enough, Mathew was driving to park beside him with Kali in the passenger seat. She waved at him, and he winked in reply.He called earlier to ask her to prepare."Hello." She greeted as she stepped out of the car. "I was surprised to get your call.""I thought you would be." He took her hand and kissed her. "You look lovely.""Thank you. I wore something stunning, as you asked.""Thank you, Mathew
DANGEROUS GAMES CHAPTER 1: THE BEGINNING, OF SORTS
The roar of the aeroplane tearing through the clouds made Samuel turn his head to the sky. There was an airport close to the town area. Most flights that took off flew so low that the vibrations could be felt when they passed. He couldn't help but think of his older sister, Ember, as he watched the aeroplane disappear into a cloud. She had left the family ten years ago when he was eighteen. She had been his closest friend in those early years. His greatest confidant. And she still was. Even when she lived an entire continent away from home. He understood why she had to leave. Hell, if he had more courage, he might have done the same when he finished high school. Instead, he stayed. Still, things had gone well for him the past ten years. Despite his rocky relationship with his mother, he was happy. He had a girlfriend, a flourishing business, his father and his older brother, Peter. Ember was content with her life in Germany, and they kept in touch. In fact, he was just about ready t
DANGEROUS GAMES CHAPTER 2: NEW PAWNS ON THE BOARD
Kali sat by the dresser, preparing for the day while Richard, her boyfriend, slept on the large king-sized bed. She watched him from the mirror while she dressed, trying to be quiet. She didn’t want to wake him. They had spent most of the week together, enjoying the summer heat and visiting some places in the city.It was marvellous, but sadly it was over. There was a lot to do. She could not slink around in bed or stay any longer than eight.As quietly as possible, she grabbed a pair of heels from the walk-in closet and put them on.While she hustled with the buckle, a sound at the door caught her attention. She glanced up to find Richard looking down at her. His hair was hysterical, one side flattened against his head and the other side frizzy as if a bolt of current had shot through him. Sleep made his eyes red and puffy, and there were a few marks on his arm from the sheets.She and Richard had started dating nine months ago. He travelled a lot, and as she worked from home, he was
DANGEROUS GAMES CHAPTER 3: SOMETHING LOST, NOTHING GAINED
Samuel sat on the window seat, reading a new book to pass the time. He was spending some time in his parent's home because he didn't have a lot of things to do. A sharp knock on his door broke his attention, and he set the book down. “Yeah?”Giovanna walked into the room, dressed in her usual home fit made up of shorts and a crop top. “Mom wants to see you. She is in her office?”“Sure.”She closed the door, and he groaned, shuffling into his slides and walking out of the room towards his mother’s office. The room was first for his father, and he worked there often. His father liked to carve and paint. He wasn't one to brag about his skills and would always shake off most compliments and praise. In Samuel's eyes, his artworks were phenomenal; one of his paintings of Samuel's first car hung in his apartment.After his mother gifted his father a small cabin at the back of the house for him to work in, she reconstructed the study for herself. That gift was probably one of the nicest thi
