Semua Bab His Don His Damnation : Bab 81 - Bab 90

"They're not done, not by a long shot." His words are ringing in her ears until she squeezes her eyes tightly shut. They are. They are done. There is nothing of what they could have been left."Miss?"She opens her eyes and finds the cab has come to a stop. "Right. Sorry." She digs into her purse and pays him.She steps outside into the cold, pushing her small suitcase in front of her. The outlet mall is still crowded with people and still crawling with shoppers. She breathes deeply, pulling her coat in a little tighter.She picks a shop at random to browse in. She moves around both floors and looks at some beautiful crockery, then moves outside the shop and tries to decide which one to go into next. The crowd of people are wandering around, Browse, sipping coffees, and conversing quietly. She should be at ease.But she isn't.There's this. sensation on the back of her neck.A strange sensation as if she is being watched.She glances over her shoulder quickly. A man a few stores away.

"Hello?""PELLA,""ISAAC? What's the time?""Where is KYOLINE?""What?""Where. Is. KYOLINE?""Look, she left the kids here. They were supposed to stay with her for two weeks anyway and were looking forward to it. She has gone off to the Bahamas on her own. She needs the break.".When she tells him all she knows, he hangs up and calls the airline to confirm. But she never boarded the plane. Shit. Where the devil is she?He rings PELLA again. "She never boarded the flight. What else did she say?""That's all she told him.""Her best friend," he grinds out, trying not to put irritability in his voice. Because screaming at her and demanding something isn't going to get him what he wants. "Will you let me know if you find out anything?""What are you going to do, ISAAC?""Just ask about him.""ISAAC, he thinks?"Once he knows more, he'll let her know." He gets up on her before she's got any chance of finishing talking. Another staccato breath ripples past his lips as he walks towards the

His heart tightens. "He'll practice more today and tonight, so hopefully by tomorrow, he'll be a little better." And speaking the words, he makes up his mind to master these damn French braids no matter how long he has to practice it to get it down.After washing DAMON'S hair in the bathroom sink, when he finally drops off the children at school, they're late. And he knows that he's doing a rotten job with them so far, but he's going to get it together. He's going to show KY that he can be the man she wants him to be and that he's one hundred percent on board with her, the children, and the baby.The following day, after seven failed attempts and three more online tutorials, he finally succeeds in L'OREAL'S hair nearly braided when they have to leave for school.As he tightens the hairband properly and hands it to her, she gives him a beaming smile. Not perfect, but hell a whole lot better than yesterday's debacle.The small girl leans forward to peck at his cheek, and he stands there

He hangs up before he can continue. Of all the things he's thought could possibly happen in his head a million times, KYOLINE getting herself goddamn arrested wasn't one of them. He leans back into his chair, letting the weight of the past week wear off a bit as he sits, his head against the headrest. A bitter incredulous laugh rips out of his throat. "Only you, KYOLINE.". Only you." Shakes his head as he dials VINCENT DANZA'S number."ISAAC. What is it?""Nothing. He found her. Call PELLA and NIKKI.""Where?""It doesn't matter. She's safe.""Thank God. PELLA and NIKKI have lost their minds.""Yeah, he can sympathize." That's the understatement of the century. He's gone out of his goddamn mind in the last few days, each worse than the last one."ISAAC, are you going to do something he needs to know about?""Nope.""Not talking reassuringly, I assume," he bites back."Whenever has he ever done anything for a good reason?""ISAAC—""He just called to inform you that he'll be out of tou

"She wasn't stealing this time, though. The owner remembered her from a previous time when she stole something. She wasn't thinking and it was stupid of her to return to the same location.""Well, now the charges have been dropped, KYOLINE."She cannot believe that he spent an entire boutique. Her mouth comes open, and she cannot think of words to protest it all. But the expression she sees on his dark eyes makes her dry off at the mouth before even words can form.His hand cups her face, his thumb rubbing the apple of her cheek. "You, the baby, your brothers and sister. You're his family. And he'll do anything to keep them safe. There isn't a goddamn thing in this world he wouldn't do to prove to you he's not lying. He's not good at this stuff. But he's trying here, KY."Her heart is lodged in her throat."KY, say something…please.""Why not just let the bail out?""It can't be taken to court if the charges are dropped.""Oh.""Oh? That's all you've got to say?""She's thinking.proce
