Courageous(Can i love again?)

Chapter 27

King's POV

"Whoaa! What was that?" I frown when I saw him.

"What are you still doing here?" I immediately asked him and I stood up to get some wine in my mini bar here in the office, he followed me and patted me then spoke. "Don't you want to see me?"  He asked in his childish voice. I just shook my head so he laughed, really mad.

"Just leave already Nicholas!" I said teasing him because I know he doesn't want to call him Nicholas.

"It's Nick bro!" He said then he groaned out of annoyance so I laughed at him.  We sat on the sofa while we both held a glass of wine.

"By the way, I saw a hot girl storming out with a frown face. What did you do?" He asked seriously with a frown. I smirk at him and then I lean.

"I just put her in her place and get rid of her" I said. He sigh.

"Bro, you're already married. Stop messing around. Tsk." He said annoyed. We're maybe a playboy but we're also serious about a real relationship, but he didn't know that my marriage is just for the convenience of my company.

"I'm not" I just answered and drank.

"Better be. I think I'm gonna settle down soon too" He said with a big smile so I laughed a little.

"You? Getting married? Like a serious one?" I asked immediately. He frown and said "Yah, why not. And I think I found a girl for me" He said with a big grin, so I just shook my head.

"And who's the unlucky girl?" I ask while raising both of my eyebrows. Then he became excited to tell me.

"Remember the girl you introduced to me at the wedding? The maid of honor?" I frown but he was still smiling.

"She's the one" He said with so much happiness. I shrug and nod my head. I don't think Keira would interfere with her best friends love life.

"Just be careful Nick" I said. He drank his drink before he answered me.

"What do you mean?" He asks with a frown.

"That's Keira's best friend. She's not the girl you want to mess with." I said but he suddenly smiled foolishly before speaking.

"Whoa! I can't believe you found your match! I wonder what she did to make you like that King. I can't see a playboy King now. Wow!" He said that it seemed really amazing. I just looked at him but he just laughed at me. I smirk at him but he's busy laughing his heart out like I said a very funny joke. He annoys me.

I stood up in annoyance and left him there still laughing.

Eventually, he calmed down and wiped away his tears because of his craziness.

"Are you done?" I ask irritated. He still laughing a bit.

"Yeah, yeah I'm done. Whoooo" He said then he stood up.

"Thanks, that makes my day bro" He said again and started mocking me again.

"Then you can leave" I said and started to do my work. He sigh.

"Okay okay, I'll leave you still have a short temper bro"  He said and turned around but turned again and spoke.

"Oh I almost forgot to tell you, I'm thinking to stay here and I'm just gonna supervise the other company abroad." He said.

"Whatever. Do what you want. Just make sure there will be no problem when you stay here" I said to him seriously.

"Of course just leave it to me" He said proudly. I smirk at him and he just laughs then turns around and walks away.

"See you around. And guess what I have a date tonight! Wohooo!" He shouted before he got out of my office. I just shakes my head, then I started thinking about her.

I looked at the time and it was already 4 pm, so I decided to go home. I wonder what she's been doing all afternoon in my house. I smiled at the thought of it.

What did she do to me?

Keira's POV

When he left the house I started unpacking my things out, but Manang Sabel force me to eat breakfast first so I just agreed because I actually lost my appetite because of what happened this morning.

I picked one of the guest rooms away from his room. My room is on the west wing and his is on the east, so you see this house is really big too, but my parent's house is much bigger than here.  Because that's where you can feel like you're in a castle, that's really the design that my mom made there.

I put some of my things in his room and to my surprise, it was very clean and organized everything in his room and the size as well. His walk-in closet seems to be as big as a normal house. Well, somehow I was really impressed here at his house.

"Manang, you really did great to keep his room clean and organized ha" I said while looking around the room. It has a big glass window that when you open the curtains you can see the very nice garden and a swimming pool.

"Oh ma'am, I'm not the one who cleans this room. He's the one who fixes everything here in his room so it's always clean and tidy" She said so I immediately looked at her and couldn't believe what I heard. Really?

"Really?" I ask with a confused look. She nods while smiling at me.

"Wow. Impressive, I didn't think that man knew how to clean" I said laughing a bit.  She laughs too then sigh. We sat on the end of the bed and she spoke.

"Sir isn't as bad as the news about him. I can say this because I already know him even though he hasn't come out of his mommy's womb yet, I've been serving their family for such a long time." My mouth forms an 'O' because of what she said, I mean wow I really am. She is already old and she is already part of their family during her time here. Her loyalty is priceless.

"Wow. That's amazing Manang Sabel. You became a part of their family, they are so lucky to have you." I said with a smile and spoke.

"But Manang, if you don't mind me asking but did you have a husband? Or do you have a child?" I asked a little embarrassed, she didn't answer right away and just looked at me while smiling so I was feeling like I might have offended her so I spoke.

"Hmm, you don't need to answer that Manang if that makes you uncomfortable. I'm sorry." I said with a shy smile. She holds my hand then spoke.

"It's okay ma'am" She said. She looked away before she spoke.

"I didn't get married because.. I couldn't afford to have a child, so that's the reason why I don't have a child." She said, I suddenly feel bad for her. I know it hurts for a woman to know that she can't conceive a child of her own.

I'm afraid of that too.
