Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 549

Chapter 549

The floor of the room was a mess.

Natasha was using one hand to support herself on the table. Judging by her expression, she seemed to be in great pain.

“Nat!” The look in Kenneth's eyes changed. He instantly went over to support her. “What happened, Nat?”

The woman did not say a word. With her eyes shut and brows furrowed, it looked as though she was trying to endure something.

“Nat!” Kenneth's eyes were completely focused on her. At that moment, he noticed the phone on the table and reached out to grab it. Just as he was about to make a call, Natasha put her hand on his.

At that, he looked over and saw her shaking her head at him. “I'm fine.”

“You don't look fine,” he protested sternly.

The pain subsided. It went as fast as it had come. Right then, Natasha seemed to be completely okay. “I'm fine, really. I merely had a headache just now. I'm all right now,” she reassured, flashing him a smile.

Kenneth frowned. There was still worry in his eyes as he looked at her.

“I promise I'm fine. Maybe I just haven't been resting well lately. I'll be fine once I get some sleep later,” she added.

His deep eyes bored into hers. A while later, he picked her up bridal style and walked toward the bed.

After laying her down gently, he eyed her and said, “It's my fault for being too rough with you yesterday. You should have a good rest.”

Natasha gave him a smile. “You didn't sleep well last night either, did you?”

He once again stared at her with an unfathomable look in his eyes. After a long time, he murmured in a hoarse voice, “I didn't. I spent half of the night taking a cold shower.”

Even though it sounded like a joke, his expression was much more somber than his words.

“Why don't you sleep for a bit, too?” she offered.

The concern on his face was impossible to deny. “If you say that, I'm going to misunderstand and think that you're inviting me to bed with you.”

“You're not misunderstanding. It is an invitation,” she affirmed.

Kenneth felt his heart skipping a beat.

Natasha did not say anything more. She simply continued looking at him.

A second later, Kenneth got up and turned around to leave.

While she observed him, her brows furrowed gradually.

What's going on?

When Kenneth got to the door, however, he shut it and locked it.

He swiveled his head around to glance at Natasha. There was indescribable darkness in his gaze.

Then, he returned to the bed and lay down right next to her.

Once they were covered by the quilt, his hand began wandering around her body. Images of the night before flashed across her mind.

“Kenneth... I'm still not...” Natasha did not finish her sentence. Instead, she stared at him, for she assumed that he knew what she was talking about.

Kenneth lowered his eyes which carried profound feelings. “I know.”

“Then, you—”

“Don't worry. I'm not that much of a savage. I just want to hug you.” As he spoke, he pulled Natasha into his tight embrace. His chin rested on the top of her head, and he gently rubbed it against her hair. It was like he wanted to absorb her into his body.

Natasha could sense his intense feelings. Leaning against his chest, she muttered, “Why did you lock the door, then?”

“I don't want them to disturb your sleep,” Kenneth murmured.

The joy on the corner of her lips spread to her whole face. She adjusted into a comfortable position in his arms before closing her eyes.

Natasha had always loved to sleep. It was no exaggeration to say that it was the most important thing to her. Because of that, she fell asleep in no time.

When Kenneth heard her steady breathing, his eyes shot open.

Tilting his head to look at her, he pursed his thin lips. Complicated emotions surfaced in his typically indifferent eyes.

Once Denise woke up, she went looking for Natasha.

When she got to the door, it was locked. Even after she knocked on it, there was no response.

It was then that Anthony and Benjamin emerged from their rooms. Upon seeing Denise, they made their way over to her.

“What's going on?”

“Nat's door is locked. I can't go in,” she complained.

Benjamin stepped forward and tried to open the door. Unsurprisingly, he, too, failed. “It really is locked. I can't open it,” he said, looking at his siblings.

Anthony observed them and narrowed his eyes as he pondered. “Daddy's probably—”

Before he could finish his sentence, Denise's phone rang.

She took it out and saw that it was a text from Kenneth.

It read: Your Nat is asleep. Keep it down.

Denise immediately showed the text to Anthony and Benjamin after seeing it.

The three of them stared at the door once they read the text.

“They're sleeping...”

“With the door locked...”

“In the middle of the day?”

The three of them spoke one after another, then looked at each other.

“Let's go,” Anthony said.

The three of them had no choice but to leave.

As they were walking, Denise asked, “The fact that Daddy's also inside there can only mean one thing, right?”

Anthony nodded. “Exactly.”

She frowned and clicked her tongue. “Why is Daddy so unrestrained?”

“Did you not expect this to happen?” Benjamin questioned.

“Of course I did,” Denise stated. “They might as well get married while they're at it.”

At the mention of that, Anthony recalled the conversation from earlier that day. The corners of his mouth quirked up. “Don't worry. It'll happen soon.”

Benjamin and Denise were stunned to hear that. They quickly caught up with their sibling and stared right at him. “What do you mean?”

“Is there something you know, Tony?” Denise asked.

Anthony swept his gaze over them but did not say anything. Instead, he went downstairs right away.

“Hey! What exactly do you mean?” Denise was getting incredibly impatient.

When they got to the dining room, Anthony gave his sister some food before looking at both her and Benjamin. “I'm about to tell you two something now.”

His expression was grave, which prompted the other two to ask in chorus, “What is it?”

Anthony pulled out his phone and started playing a video for them to see.

Benjamin and Denise watched the video. A few seconds later, they both frowned.

“Is this... Nat?” Benjamin asked.

Denise took a closer look and affirmed, “It is Nat!”

They both glanced up at Anthony with solemn looks on their faces. “When was this?”

Anthony kept his phone nonchalantly. “Probably when Nat went to Vermillion Base alone.”

There was a flash of hostility in Benjamin's eyes. He clenched his fist. “Those d*mned jerks!”

Although Denise remained quiet, her red-rimmed eyes betrayed her emotions.

It was then that Anthony looked at them and said, “Even though Nat is the highlight of this video, it's also very dangerous. Even though she didn't suffer, it doesn't mean this matter is over just like that.”

The other two stared at him.

“I've already talked to Daddy about it. We have to get revenge for this,” Anthony enunciated.

“What do we do?” Benjamin asked.

“Daddy doesn't have a plan yet, but his target is Boss. I have something a little different in mind, though. I want the entirety of Vermillion Base to go down in flames!” Anthony declared.

Benjamin narrowed his eyes subtly. “Letting an organization like Vermillion Base go on would do harm to a lot of people. Getting rid of them would solve the problem once and for all.”

“You think so, too?” Anthony questioned.

“Of course!” Benjamin exclaimed. He never forgot the people who had been displaced at the hands of Vermillion Base.

“Good. I'll explain the plan,” Anthony voiced.
