KAI'S POV

I'm getting ready for the dinner date with Denise and her father.  I hope I could control myself from stabbing him and bleeding him out. But no, I'm avenging my parents in a different way. I breathe deeply several times and put on my coat.

It's already 6pm and Aya is waiting for me downstairs. I went down to see her. She's aware that I'll be dining with Denise tonight.

Kai: Won't be joining you tonight. I know you despise me but please don't burn the mansion down.

Aya: Okay I won't, just your room.

Kai: Ano- don't do that too! Well I ah I'm leaving.

I walked away and already on the front door but my feet suddenly choose to stop. I looked at her for the last time and she's eating peacefully didn't even bid me goodbye. My body don't wanna leave, it wants to sit there with her and to secretly enjoy watching her beam like a child in every food she chooses to eat. No, get a grip of yourself Kai! Finally got the courage to move and I left the mansion.

~Time skip~


Denise: Hi dad! I missed you so much!

Steve: Oh baby girl I missed you too! Jesus you look stunning.

They hugged each other while I'm controlling myself not to choke him right here and now.

Denise: By the way dad, this is Kai Lacroft a new friend of mine.

She introduced me and his breathing stopped with the mention of my surname.

Steve: La-lacroft? Is there any chance you're  related to Alexander Lacroft?

Kai: Ah yes he's my beloved father.

I said and I saw him tensed so he cleared his throat and went close to me giving me a hug.

What the- was taken aback by his movement.

Steve: I've heard what happened. I'm sorry child that you lost both your parents. I hope you're now doing well.

Ang plastic. I'm clenching my fist so hard.

Denise: Wait dad you know her parents? and Kai is that true? Omg I'm sorry for your lost.

Steve: Well his dad and me are old acquaintance. He was a good man. Come on let's sit already. Please order whatever you want children.

He smiled and motioned for us to sit.

The conversations we had are more of them catching up with each other. I kept on drinking my wine to calm my nerves.

Steve: Hey Kai, nice meeting you and please if you need help you can reach out to me okay?

Kai: Thanks for your generosity sir. Nice meeting you too.

Denise: Omg dad likes you! You know this the first time he's not rude with my date.

Baka kasi binabagabag siya ng konsenya niya while seeing me.

We ended our dinner and I'm escorting Denise to her dad's car.

Denise: Hey Kai thanks for coming, hoping for more dinner with you.. or we can just chill at my house next time.
