Kieran heard Remy’s voice on the phone and knew something was wrong with Freya.
He called Freya to have dinner with her, but now he was not in the mood to eat. He just wanted to make sure Freya was okay.
Fearing Remy might hurt Freya, Kieran quickly dialed the phone back after Remy hung up.
No one answered the phone, and the mechanical sound of the phone was like a talon that gripped Kieran’s heart.
Remy was now at the end of his rope. He said he could wait to collect Freya’s body, and he might actually kill her!
Kieran didn’t regret telling Bradley to take down Byrnesons Corp. He just regretted not protecting Freya well.
He underestimated Remy’s madness!
Without delay, Kieran picked up his cell phone to call Bradley.
Hardly had the phone been pressed when his cell phone rang.
He thought it was Remy, so he picked it up without even looking at the caller id.
It wasn’t Remy on the phone, it was his mother Patricia.
Patricia’s voice was marked with joy, “Kie, Regina is back. Why don’t you come back for dinner tonight?”
“I’m busy tonight.” Kieran said flatly, “Mom, if there’s nothing else, I have to go.”
“Ok, Kie, come home for dinner when you have time, and take good care of yourself, don’t be too tired.”
Patricia knew her son had a lot of work to do, and she didn’t have to force him to do it. Regina Wells was going to live here for a long time, and it would be quite easy for her to give them a chance to get along.
Patricia knew that the old Mr. Fitzgerald had let Kieran get married with a woman before he died. But Kieran already signed divorce papers with that woman, and that marriage didn’t count.
Neither the woman appointed by the old Mr. Fitzgerald nor Alisha, in Patricia’s opinion, was good enough for her precious son. There was only Regina Wells in the world who was good enough for his Kie.
Kieran had just hung up the phone when Fabian burst open the door and walked in, “Kieran, I heard miss Wells is back. Have you heard from her?”
“Kieran, I have to say, you’re getting lucky. You’ve got Mrs. Fitzgerald, you’ve got Alisha hanging around you, and now your mother’s favorite daughter-in-law, Miss Wells, is back, you’re going to have a lot of fun.”
“By the way, Kieran, I heard miss Wells is back here to get engaged to you. Your mother even fixed the date of your engagement and wedding! If your mother forced you to marry Miss Wells, you wouldn’t really abandon Mrs. Fitzgerald, would you?”
“I have to say, Miss Wells is a very good woman, which no man can resist. My poor Mrs. Fitzgerald, Kieran is about to fall in love with somebody else!”
Kieran glanced coolly at Fabian, “Since you think Regina Wells is so good, you might as well marry her!”
“Fuck! Kieran, are you human or not?! Regina Wells is someone we grew up with, and you’re giving her away?!”
“Kieran, tell me, do you actually have a thing for Regina Wells? I remember playing games when we were kids, and you were married to her! I always thought you two would be together when we grow up!”
“I was married to you, too.”
Fabian was momentarily silenced by Kieran’s icy words. Indeed, as teenagers, he and Kieran couldn’t tell the difference between being sworn brothers and being married, which they had been.
And they had to be together…
