In His Arms

Chapter 19: After All These Times.. (Kendra's POV)

All these flashy lights took me by surprise. I didn't expect it to be this many. There were allot of people and it's kinda flattering. I never felt this special just because of a business venture. As a business woman, I'm actually happy that I finally made it this big. I read the files and contract carefully before I signed them. Actually, I already sealed the deal yesterday, this is just basically for publicity. Me and the CEO shook each other's hands and I thought that was the end of the event. But no, the night went on. The CEO introduced me to the eother investors and I met some models and other Korean A-listers. It kinda exhausted me. "I'm sorry, will you please excuse me for a bit? I need to go to the comfort room." I bowed at my current company and they bowed at me, too.

I'm not really familiar with this place so I asked some of the ushers where the comfort room is and they pointed at this direction. Just when I'm about to enter the comfort room, a hand grabbed my wrist and started pulling with him. To my surprise, it was Baekhyun. What is he doing here? He dragged me along with him and it kinda hurt me. "Baekhyun, let go. You're hurting me." I pleaded but he doesn't seem to hear me. He insisted and we took the stairs. The sound of my heels annoyed me but I couldn't help it from making this noise. Baekhyun is walking to fast and I would fall if I didn't match his speed. He pushed he door and we made it to the rooftop.

I shoved his hand away. "What the hell is your problem?" I whined. "Where were you yesterday?" He asked. Why is he suddenly asking me? "What is it to you anyway?" I asked. "It means allot to me. So answer my question." A little offended with the way he laughed, I just walked away. "I don't have any time for this thing." I said and exited the rooftop. As expected, he followed me. But I was just too determined to ignore him. He managed to stop me again. "Where do you think you're going?" He asked. "What do you think are you doing?" I matched him with another question. "Kendra, we're not done yet. Don't leave." He sounded quite sincere. But still, I hate him. "Oh we are Beakhyun, we're done." I said as she shoved my hand away. He managed to stop me from leaving once again by holding both of my wrists. "What the hell do you want?" I scoffed. "Look, I just want to talk." He sighed. "There's nothing left for us to talk about." I looked away.

He let go one of my wrists as he took something out of from his pocket. "This. Is this enough for a proof where you were last night?" My eyes widened when he showed me the ring. "Why were you there yesterday? What were you doing there, huh?" He asked. His face came closer to mine and it made me nervous. I honestly didn't know what to say so I just kept my mouth shut. "Look, Kendra, I'm not stupid. You're not someone who'll go there without a reason at all." He said. "Look at me." I refused to follow his order and kept my sight in a different direction. His hand held my chin and forced me to look at him. "Are you keeping something from me? Is there something you're not telling me?" His husky yet sexy voice sent shivers all over my body. And not just that. The fact that he already is aware that I'm hiding something from him makes me quite nervous. Is this about Beatrice?

I kept my cool and calmed myself a little. He must not know. He doesn't need to know. He has Taeyeon and he can't have me and Tris. He can't have both. I kept my cold stare as I let the hurtful event last night haunt me. I remember the words he spoke last night and it made me hate him even more. "What is there to hide from you?" I asked coldly, not making my secret obvious. His lips came closer to my ear. "Don't play me." He whispered sexily. In my mind, a battle between 'should I hate him more' or 'should I get turned on' formed. He just sounded irrisistable. He went lower that I could already feel his hot breath in my neck. "If you still love me, you can always tell me." I bit my lip to what I heard. Wait. Is he seducing me? And he isn't talking about Beatrice? "Don't be delusional." I managed to keep my cold act going on. But honestly, my thighs are starting to feel weak. And it became weaker when he smirked on my skin. "I told you Kendra, I'm not stupid. You're not the type of person to keep a wedding ring after being divorced. Seven years? Don't tell me you kept it for nothing because obviously there's a better reason." His lips planted soft kissed on my shoulder. God, he's slowly getting lower and it's alarming.
