Chapter 5 The Warmth in her eyes

• Kade
• News... My family always made it to the news at least once every month. I sometimes hear things about myself that even I am not aware of on the news and I today wasn't any different.
• " It is a known fact that the Harold family are one of the most popular families because of their extreme wealth gotten from their billion dollar worth automobile company.
• They have made a name for themselves in the automobile industry, making millions of dollars for every new model of Klade cars - known for its speed, precision and polished looks The golden sons Kade and Klyde who like their father and his father before him are now head of the company have been known to be the third most googled people in the world and they're always trending on Twitter for even the slightest actions in public.
• Just few hours ago, the Harold twins became a subject of gossip when a mysterious lady believed to be the mother of the enchanting triplets who sang at an Easter service was revealed to the public as Viola Walden.
• However when her identity was revealed, she was instantly mobbed at her private apartment in Dallas by angry fans of the Harold twins and paparazzi who wanted to catch a better glimpse of the lady in question.
• She was however rescued from the situation by bodyguards believed to be from the Harold family and taken away from the mob scene with many men and women yelling insults at her for abandoning the children after absconding with the Harold's money and also trying to live a different live.
• But the main question on the minds of netizens is," which of the Harold twins is the father of the -" "
• " Turn it off," I said and Pedro turned off the TV. I was lucky to have Pedro around, God knows I didn't want to hear the last part of that news report. I closed the file on my table while Pedro studied me carefully.
• " Should I find out who is responsible for this?" He asked in his slightly Spanish accent and I looked at him. He was my finest bodyguard, capable of heartlessly ending anyone who he sensed might be a threat to me in a manner that made him seem he didn't have a heart, yet he cared about me the most - it was as if he would give his life for me if need be.
• Hard to find such bodyguards these days.
• " Kade..." He said and I smiled, he was the only one allowed to call me by my name. I made it so everyone else would know that he wasn't just an ordinary bodyguard to me.
• " I'm fine, besides even the most stupid of us Harolds knows that this is the work of none other Emelia." I said and he grunted. She was off limits for him and I could tell how frustrated he felt.
• " But...is it true what they're saying?" He asked hesitantly and I scoffed.
• " It has to, Viola is cold hearted. She would definitely do something like that." I eventually said as I stood up and he held out my suit for me to put on.
• " Are the children yours?" He asked and then looked at the floor when I looked at him, I must've glared at him for him to react that way.
• " I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked" he apologized.
• " It's okay, this is just a very sensitive topic for me. "
• It was so sensitive that sometimes when I think about it I'd have nosebleeds. I hated that what Viola and Klyde did seven years ago still got to me but I've never loved any woman the way I loved Viola.
• " No, the children aren't mine. We dated but I never slept with her, now let's go." I said as I walked towards the door. He went ahead of me to open the door and two other bodyguards stationed outside my office greeted me as I stepped out of the office.
• " Where's the swine?" I asked Gerald one of the two bodyguards, but he didn't say anything and I smirked. He wouldn't answer my question because that would mean that he acknowledges that Klyde is a swine and that could cost him his job since he sometimes guards Klyde.
• " Gerald?" I asked and he gulped.
• " He umm...left already." He whispered and I patted him on the shoulder.
• " Fear nothing, if he sacks you I'll make you one of my personal bodyguards. Don't you think it's a bit unfair that you can't even call him a swine after what he did with your wife?" I said, my hand was still on his shoulder and I could feel him tense when I mentioned his wife.
• Klyde had seduced the woman after she came to the office in search of Gerald a month ago but Gerald couldn't do anything about it, honestly I would've shot Klyde if I were him - losing a beautiful woman like that to Klyde could make a good man turn evil.
• " He's my boss too" Gerald said.
• " Well he's also fucking your wife." I said and walked away, Gerald and the other bodyguard as well as Pedro followed me as I did.
• " What are you doing?" I asked and Gerald stared at me as if I had asked something odd. Maybe my question was odd since he was supposed to be my bodyguard today but I still stared at him pointedly expecting an answer.
• " I'm working sir" he said and I shook my head.
• " No, I'm good. Don't need a coward guarding me, thanks." I said icily and he just stood there watching me as I walked away.
• " Sir...are you sacking me?" He asked and I groaned in frustration.
• " You know what?!" I exploded and some of the workers in the lobby lost composure - one lady even slipped and fell with her files in hand.
• " I wasn't going to fucking sack you but maybe I should. I'm sure Klyde would retain you as his personal bodyguard, oh wait - he would never do that!" I said with a scowl on my face and stormed out of the office building.
• " Good evening Mr Kade" Kenneth, my driver greeted me as he opened the door but I glared at him and he looked away in fright.
• I sat in the passenger's seat with Pedro while the other guy sat in front with Kennedy.
• " Uhh, sir where are we going?" Kenneth asked and I wished I had something to hit him with - what kind of dumb question is that?
• " Where do you think?" The bodyguard in the front asked and I looked at him. He was new but he knew exactly what I was going to ask Kenneth - only I wouldn't have used words.
• Kenneth turned around and looked at me as if seeking validation.
• " You're this close to me sacking you." I said joining my thumb and index finger together and he widened his eyes in surprise.
• " But sir there's literally no space between both your fingers!" He panicked and I smirked.
• " Yes there is,it's just as tiny as a thread that you can't see through those bottle-thick glasses of yours" I said and he gulped, started the car and drove.
• In a few minutes, we arrived home and as Kenneth packed the car, I noticed a black Klade - Inferno one of my most recent models of our company car and wondered who drove that here.
• With a deep sigh, I got down from the car and stared at our " magnificent mansion" before I scoffed and entered inside. As always, I ignored the greetings of everyone I met on the way to my room until I saw the last face I'd expect to see at our house - Viola.
• I froze when I saw her come out of Klyde's room. She was being led out by Victoria - my mother's maid and Viola's long mane of hair was ebony black unlike it's former platinum blond color and it reached her butt - just seeing her hair that way was enticing.
• Her dangerous curves didn't help in that red dress, she'd gotten so womanly. God she was beautiful, those Amber eyes...and her lips.
• She looked away from Victoria and her eyes instantly locked with mine , I got lost for a moment in them and in the way her full, pink lips moved when she said my name but the thought of her coming out of my brother's room was too enraging for me. Who knows what they did before I got back? No wonder the bastard quickly closed early from work just so he could -
• " Kade, Hi.." she said, pulling me out of my thoughts but I gave her one look and the warmth in her eyes turned to fear and like everyone else who I gave that look, she looked away.
• " Victoria I'll have my dinner in my room" I said before I entered my room and slammed the door shut.
