Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSomething about that guy gives her chills, neither bad nor good, it's just the feeling she had when she was with him that night, something about his aura.

It's been over a decade and he hasn't found her. Is he even looking? He isn't, he has eyes only for her. Throughout the years he has been solid with her and she knows that he loves her even if he is holding back. She just wants to be happy with a man that loves her unconditionally and she wants to love him the sway, she knows they can have something beautiful if they try.
She takes one last, long, deep breath and pushes the door open.
"Took you long enough, I thought you were never going to cin," Kelvin says, not moving his eyes away from the document he's reading.
He has repurposed his living room into an office and there are files and papers scattered everywhere on the floor and Leila drops her bag on the couch, ignoring his words to start picking them up.
"Leave it, Jade will clear it up later," Kelvin says, shifting his gaze from the paper and he drops it.
"Your coffee sir," a beautiful young omega with green doe eyes and silver hair catwalks out of the kitchen, "Luna," she bows to Leila and drops the coffee on Kelvin's table and Leila doesn't miss the way she is eye fucking him. "Would you need anything else sir?" Jade asks with a tender smile but to Leila it is highly seductive.
"Not right now dear, go get the things I asked you to and take your time, I'll be busy for a few hours," Kelvin replies and Jade nods, slowly walking away.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLeila rolls her eyes as Jade and she walks away and Kelvin scoffs. "I've never seen you jealous of anyone before." "Who says I am?" Leila replies, realising things are not as awkward between them as she thought, it was probably only her worried over nothing, probably because she initiated the kiss.
Kelvin walks towards her with a cocky smile on his face.
"I'd be shocked if you were, now have a seat and let's get these bastards, show them a little phoenix power," he pokes her sides and she chuckles, jerking away from his tickling touch. en "Get out," she replies, smiling back at him, before she glances at the papers littered everywhere again. "So tellthere is a method to this madness I can see around me," Leila says, walking over to his desk. Kelvin doesn't reply but he pulls out a marker board from under his couch and puts it on a stand. "Right now, we need to counter the three things they'll use against us. Motive, evidence and witness." He draws two lines to separate the board into three halves, labelling the first column as motive,da evidence and the third as He taps on motive and points to Leila with the marker.
"Mom had no motive to kill dad, she loved him more than she even loved me." Kelvin makes a face at her.
"What? It's the truth, she says it herself," Leila shrugs with a small smile. "It's no different for dad as well."
Growing up, she always hoped to have the kind of love her parents ove her shared but she chose the wrong man to love like that. "No motive," Kelvin strikes it out.
"There wouldn't be any evidence either since mom wasn't even there when he actually died, she didn't see it happen." "No....evi...dence," Kelvin drawls as he strikes it out. "That leaves us with witnesses, any?" "Yes, Trent. The bastard was there." "Bingo!" Kelvin snaps his finger at
her. "That's our move. We have to prove he was there and get him on the stand so I can work him. He'll fold No. Pll make sure that motherfucker folds."
