My 419 Nightmare

27. ... and The One Who Wouldn't Let Go

Kit's POV

He sends me back home and insisted to stay as I get change into my uniform. I let him. I promised myself that I will cherish all the time that I have left here with him so I let him.

I've cried before in the shower after he carried me there, as I can't move freely. I cried so hard, letting the warm shower drown my tears as my heart are tearing apart at the prospect of me leaving him.

If only...

What, Kitty? Are you now going to blame the baby for making you leave him?

No.... I would never do that. I love him. Them. I love both of them.

Then stay, Kitty.

You know I can't. We can't. Not without having the reassurance that my family will stay away. I can't let this baby live the same way like I did before, as a tool of an empire. Just another heir.

No, he will be the only heir. He won't have his freedom. I can't do that.

Then what about the one that's waiting outside, Kitty? When are you going to tell him about the baby? His baby.

I stuff some of my clothes and my spare uniform in a brown duffel bag before heading out. He, leisurely waiting for me at my living room, standing up in alarm when he sees me carrying the bag.

"What's that?"

I approach him with a smile, a smile that doesn't really hide the pain in my heart. I put the bag at his feet and close his body to me, wrapping my arms around his waist.

"Kit... are you okay? Are you going somewhere? Are you... leaving, my angel?"

He tightened his hold on me upon the last sentence. I hide my face at the crook of his neck, inhaling his scent, trying to stop myself from crying.

I don't want to go. Please... I don't want to...

Yours...

Ming's POV

Mine.

My angel insisted that we get ready to work. I carried him to the bathroom and was shooed away by my flushed angel when I want to shower with him. I sent him back to his apartment, as he need a change of uniform, and I insisted to wait for him there.

Fear crept in my heart when I saw him emerge from his room with a bag. I hug him tight as he holds on to me, unwilling to let go, thinking that he wants to leave.

No, my angel is mine. I won't let him go.

Never.

"Ming... can I stay with you?"

I'm stunned hearing his mumbled question. His face is still burrowed in the crook of my neck. I can feel his breath upon my skin as he snuggles to me.

"Ming... can I?"

I push him back, taking his head to face me. Glistening tear has start to mirror me in his eyes and some pinkish blush has already crept up his face from his neck. My angel has never look so deliciously tempting before.

"Your place is by my side, my angel."

I swoop down, pecking his lips.

"Always."

After the initial shock, the devil stubbornly insisted that he wants to stay with his angel throughout the day. He has already make some calls to his assistant, saying that he won't be coming to work.

The angel finally gives him the ultimatum, get to work soon or he will take back what he said before about living together. The devil finally relent, but he still wants to stay longer with his angel.

The angel brings him to the market, where he always gets his daily ingredients for his restaurant. They have brunch at one of the porridge stall over there, having a small sweet moment, shared between the two.

The devil left his angel at his restaurant and promised to come for dinner and pick him up tonight. After a quick peck on the stunned angel's lips, he finally let his angel go.

The angel is all smile, entering his restaurant and depositing all his purchase at the kitchen, before he enters his office. But once there, his smiling mask fall and he rush to the toilet, throwing out in the bowl.

The angel feels helpless, and sit, sprawling on the floor. Tears escape his eyes, rolling down his cheeks as he pulls out his phone and starts to dial a number.

"Beam... help me..."

Beam's POV

I rush to Kit's restaurant, bringing Phana with me after getting his call for help. He sounds so weak.

Does he get himself into trouble? But what trouble can he get in his restaurant?

"Thank God, you are on leave today, Beam and my shift is in the afternoon."

"I know. We are here, let's get in."

I park my car and rush in with Phana. Rachel greets us with alarm on her face.

"What are you guys doing here? Is... is... boss fall sick again? Inside?"

"No... no... we just come here for a little get together. He calls us here."

Phana speak first, trying to calm her down. We both try so hard to control our features, as to not alarm his staff and crew.

"How is he when he come today?" I ask.

"He seems okay. Happy even. Come in with smile and stuff. Oh yeah... somebody drop him to work today."

"Who?"

This come from both of us.

Rachel told us she's not too sure. The car is heavily tinted and she can't see who's inside. Phana and I shared a knowing look, probably thinking the same thing. We head to Kit's office at the back of his restaurant.

"Kitty..."

We knock on his door, before turning the knob after getting his approval to come in. We found him lying on his back at his couch with an arm on his face, as is shielding it from the light.

"Kitty... are you okay?"

He slowly turns to us, looking all pale. He smiles a bit before struggling to sit up. I help him and take a seat beside him. Phana took a seat at the single seat next to the door.

"I'm okay. I just feel... tired and stuff. This morning sickness sucks."

I bite my lower lips to stop me from laughing out loud upon seeing his face. He is pouting so adorably, whining away. I can see Phana is doing the same too at the corner of my eyes. But, compare to me, he is doing a lousy job at it.

"Don't you dare laugh at me, Phana."

Then... all hell break loose. Kit throw a cushion, and it squarely hit Phana on his face. Laughter break threw from my lips, upon seeing Phana's comically stunned looks and later all of us are gasping for air, from laughing too hard.

"Gosh, Kitty. Stop being so feisty, okay. Hah... It has been awhile since we get to laugh like this."

"Agreed, Phana. We have been too busy with our work, that we barely have time to have fun. Remember the last time all three of us got drunk and was almost got arrested?"

"Oooh... how can I forgot? This giant of a moron sang his heart away at the bar, disturbing others after thinking that Wayo cheat on him. That is the first time I look such rage in that kid eyes, smacking Phana's head after he found out what happen." Kit's regaled the past.

"What... Who tell his cousin to be so touchy- feely with my boyfriend?" Now, it's time for this big duffus to pout.

Laughter breaks again as we remember the past. Kit finally got some colours on his cheeks.

Enough chit- chat then.

"So, Kitty. Can you tell us now why you call us here?"
