"Oh my God!" the guests yelled as they stepped back, creating space and leaving the four of them in the middle.Karen immediately grabbed onto Kevin's arm and said, "Kevin,"He turned to her and said in rage, "You let him touch you inappropriately!""I...I didn't realize," responded Karen as she watched Selene help the bleeding Elliot up. It seemed that Kevin's punch had landed on his nose and broken it.Selene glared at Karen and yelled, "See what you've caused, you slut!"Furious, she charged towards her with her hands high up in the air.Karen shut her eyes, preparing for a hit across her face however nothing came. The guests gasping flipped Karen's eyes open and she stared at the scene before her.It appeared that Kevin stood in front of her and stopped Selene from hitting her. "What do you think you're doing, Kevin?!" yelled an even more furious Selene, "You dare to hold my hand because of that despicable-""Enough!" Kevin snapped, pushing her hand away causing the guests to yel

Karen was immediately taken aback,"Share..share my husband?? With..with Selene?" she repeated, obviously disgusted.Mr Kord walked lazily to the cupboard that held all types of wine on the wall. He slipped out a bottle and filled a glass nonchalantly and then stared back at Karen."What?" he smirked "You can't do it?"Karen responded bluntly, "I can't.""It's either that or you sign the divorce papers." he replied carelessly.Karen stiffened, "Why are you doing this? Kevin is your son as well!"He raised his eyes to meet hers, "Are you raising your voice at me?""I can't do any of what you want me to do," said Karen ignoring his question. "I might have deceived everyone so I could marry Kevin but if I hadn't, you would have rendered him and his mother penniless. How could you be so heartless?! Now you want me to sign the divorce papers??"Kevin forced his way in, "What divorce papers?""Who told you you could come in?!" roared Mr Kord, "Get out!""I'm leaving with my wife!" Kevin yel
A Paradise Called Us 66-Ian is the key
He couldn't help but feel bad even though he had hurt her on purpose."Hey," his ex girlfriend, Amelia brought him back from the world of thoughts "What are you thinking about? Are you not happy to see me again?"As the waiter left to bring their orders, Amelia held Ian's hands in hers. She was the woman who turned Ian from a thoughtful and loving person to a cold and heartless one. While he was deeply in love with her, she was seeing someone else and eventually got caught.She fled the country for grad school, leaving Ian with the explanation that he misunderstood the whole situation. The person he had seen her with was her ex who wanted her back and nothing more.She was now back two years later from her grad school and wanted to see Ian.

A Paradise Called Us 67- Throw her out
Kevin was restless.Since Karen told him that she would be staying with her best friend and would not come home tonight, he felt down.As he sat on his bed after dinner, he fidgeted with his phone looking for the courage to call her. However in the end, he finally tossed the phone aside.She had refused to disclose what his father discussed with her. Although Kevin did not know what that man said, it made Karen mad. He had never seen her to scared and unsure of herself.Her facial expression said it all. Now that he thought about it, did she decide to stay away because of that and not because Sam was sick?Kevin picked up his phone and called Ian."Hey," greeted his voice from the other end."Is your girlfriend sick?" Kevin immediately dropped the question."My girlfriend?"Impatient, Kevin explained "Karen's friend, the one I saw you with the other day!""Oh," Ian's voice was suddenly low, "I don't know. Plus, she's.. she's not my girlfriend anymore."Kevin couldn't believe his ears,
A Paradise Called Us 68- I missed you
It was then Amelia recognized Kevin. She walked over to him and threw her arms around him. Back then, Kevin was also cold and indifferent but she had a way of poking him."It's you, Kevin! Do you remember me?" she withdrew from the hug. "It's Amelia! Ian's girlfriend! I am back from my study abroad!"After seeing Karen's angry look, he pushed Amelia off him."This is a conference room, Amy," he said as he got up on his feet "Wait for us in my office.""No!" she disagreed and took the empty chair beside Ian "I will wait here."She wasn't about to leave Ian with that woman who had her eyes on her all this while."Then you must not cause any disturbance!" Kevin said "If you do, I'll have to throw you out!""Oh, Kevin.. you're still indifferent after all these years! But I promise not to cause any commotion."After she said this, Kevin settled down and the presentation began. Karen took the front of the room and with the aid of the projector which Sam controlled from her chair, she was abl
A Paradise Called Us 69- Sire an heir
Karen couldn't help but cry whenever she remembers her incoming death. It was just nine months left and soon she wouldn't get to see Kevin again.Unable to control her emotions, she wrapped her hands around him and hugged him. Kevin hugged her too."You're trembling, are you okay?" he said as he held her and stared at her face.Karen nodded."Let's take a walk," he said as he entwined their hands together, "It's snowing and you'll love it."Once they were outside, Kevin turned to her."You didn't wear a coat," "It's not that co-" Karen started to speak however Kevin had pulled off his coat and placed it on her. Nearing the garage, Sam waved at Karen and got into the car suggesting that she will be leaving without her. Kevin and Karen walked past the garage and began their walk.* * *Ian shut his office door with a thud as he let go off Amelia's wrist. She turned to him, hurt by his reaction."I can't believe you dragged me all the way from there, just because of that-""This is

"Kord!" Mrs Kord sprang up to her feet, red with rage "Why do you always create rifts?!"Mr Kord stared at her and said calmly, "Don't interrupt me."He turned to both his sons, "The first of you to give me a son will have a greater share in my will.""You're not sick! You're healthy and strong, why are you suddenly talking of death? Why do you want to create a will now?!" Mrs Kord whined but Mr Kord was not in the mood to argue.Having said his piece, he rose up on his feet and said before leaving, "Enjoy your dinner."Marie was not satisfied. She left the dinner table and followed Mr Kord up the stairs. At her departure, the dinner table suddenly turned quiet and no one was eating anymore.Karen would have given anything in the world to protect Kevin from his father's cruel ways however, this is impossible.She didn't think Kevin would want to have a baby with her. Besides, she was not sure if her condition will let her carry a baby successfully. Meanwhile, there was Selene. Just th

"Get your hands off me!" Elliot pushed Kevin off of him "We were here together! After dinner she went up the stairs, how could I have kidnapped her?"Mrs Kord added, "Don't act rash, Kevin. I don't think Elliot kidnapped her. The guards already showed us the footage. Since you walked into the mansion with Karen, no one has left the house.""The guards have searched everywhere for her, mom! She's not in the house!"Mrs Kord turned to the guards standing behind her, "Did you check the bathrooms??"They paused as if uncertain.Kevin snapped his head towards their direction. As if understanding their silence, he did not wait for their reply and immediately took to the stairs.Mrs Kord yelled after him, "Slow down, you'll miss your step!"However, Kevin was already out of sight. Selene thought aloud,"Since the footage showed she didn't leave the house then she must be in the bath and Kevin," she paused and continued "And Kevin just went up there."Her eyes widened realizing that he might
