Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 9

Kendra was beginning to smile again. Alex

had counted how many times she had

smiled before him and hr had made a

calculation of twenty in just three weeks.

That was a good start for someone who

hardly smiled at all. And her beauty was

returning to normal again. The beast was

still calling her and he knew that Kendra

hadn’t picked any of his calls. That Sunday

he came over to visit and met them about to

have dinner again. He had joined the family

to sit beside her at the dinning as he

watched her laughs at something his

mother said. She was becoming free with

him and with his family like they were hers.

After that dinner he had followed her to her

bedroom with his mothers eyes giving him

the warning look.

“I went to Church today with your mother

and Lisa.”.

She said to him when she stood at the

balcony of her bedroom with him leaning

against it, his arms folded on his chest. She

smiled up at him.

” It was wonderful. Did toy know that I

haven’t been to the church in three years?”

He heard her chuckle. “Funny because,

Connor never allowed me to go. In fact he

forbade me to go to the church. But I had a

wonderful time today.”

Her eyes were out in the dark if the night

and she stared out in space, smiling. He

studied her for a while.

“I’m glad you had a great time.” He said.

She smiled up at him again.

Number twenty one.

“Thank you,Alex. Thank you so much for

helping me.”

“Its nothing.”

“And I didn’t know that you are the owner

of that big hospital. See why I said that you

ate so full of surprises?”

He laughed out loud.

“Well, I’m not really the owner. It belongs to

my stepfather. He’s dead so I’m the owner

now.”

“I’m sorry.”

She said. He nodded, he was still studying

her. Then she looked up at him.

“Something tells me that you knew all along

that u was going through hell with Connor.

Why didn’t you say anything? How did you

know.”

He grinned. “Because I’m not stupid.”

He turned and leaned his hands against the

railing, facing the dark night. “I

knew,Kendra. I always knew something was

wrong with you. Odd, but I don’t know how

but I just knew. And I was sure if it because

I’ve been where you are. My mother

suffered the same thing with her first

husband. That’s why she took a liking to you

easily. Because you remind her of how she

was able to leave the bastard called my

father and meet my stepfather.”

Kendra looked down at her hands resting

on the railing. “Oh. It must have been hell for

her.”

“It was. She almost lost her life. Lisa.is my

stepsister. She was born after my mother

married my stepfather.”

Kendra smiled. “I’m glad that she was able

to pull through, Alex. Your mother is a nice

woman.”

He smiled. Her phone rang again and she

looked up at him. Connor.

He gave a wicked grin and snatched the

phone from her,She gasped and raised her

hands to get it back but he was much taller

than she is.

“Alex. Stop. You can’t pick the call.”

“I can give him something to dream about.”

He said grinning.

She laughed. “Don’t be ridiculous, Alex. Give

me the phone.”

She towered for it again and he held it away

from her reach as she raised herself trying

to match his height. The act for to him and

he bent and caught her lips with his. She

nearly fell backwards because she was

caught off guard just that his hands held

her waist pulling her body to his and kissing

her like never before. When he was sure

that she had calmed and he heard her

moan, he brought down the hand that held

the phone which had stopped and started

again, using that hand to wrap around her

completely. And they stood at the balcony

like two secret lovers, kissing while her

phone rand and rang and kept ringing…

*********

Aliyah stared at the unwanted visitor at her

door. Connor stood there like a drenched

puppy looking at her. Then she smiled at

him. Let him play the fool, she thought.

“Connor! Hello. How have you been?”. He

gave her that innocent smile that could

make a priest ask God for mercy.

“I’m good, how are you?”

“Never better.”

She stood looking at him and he looked

back at her not that she didn’t know what

to do next but she just wanted to make him

look like the fool for coming here.

“Oh, sorry. Come.on in.”

She said when she was satisfied that she

had made a fool of him. He nodded like an

idiot and stepped in with Aliyah staring at

his back as if she had seen a vision about

how he would die in her hands.

Her husband stood at the end of the living

room but he was the one who could hide

his feelings. Aliyah was trying so hard to but

she just couldn’t.Connor sat himself down

and both couple stared at him as if they

were expecting to see the mad man instead

of the saint….
