Dangerous Desires Novel

64 Emergency And A Choice Luke.

TWO WEEKS LATER.

Tia and I spent a lot of time indoors. I had slowed down my activities, so I could be with her as often as possible. I did not want her going through her pregnancy alone. I wanted to be there every step of the way, so I had to be less busy. Because of that, I ended up helping her carry Kimberly for her check-ups. The two of them were bonding nicely, which was terrific, and every time I saw how close they had become, I was worried Tia would miss her when Kimberly leaves. I really hoped Caleb would make her change her mind. She was a great girl for him. Caleb was making efforts too. I guess he was beginning to see the errors of his ways, but from my observations, Kimberly had already made up her mind. It wasn’t in my place to tell my brother she was planning to leave for good but knowing that she still slept alone made me realise it might be for the best. I thought Caleb would put in some extra effort like he did when he tried to take Tia from me, but he wasn’t. It was almost as if he was taking her presence for granted. I hoped he would realise his errors before it was too late. Tia helped Kimberly, and there were days Kimberly would come by our house and spend the entire day there. Tia’s pregnancy was also a bit difficult for her to adjust to. She was nauseated most of the time and found it challenging to keep food down sometimes. Doctor Genevieve said it was normal and that people react to pregnancies differently. Kimberly claimed hers was worse, and the thought that she did it all alone was sad. I decided I would speak to Caleb about Kimberly after our meeting. Mike told me they had found out certain things about Luis’s network, but they had yet to figure out who he was and where he was. The frustrating part was that it seemed like the man was playing with us. He clearly knew we were looking for him, and he was leaving trails of breadcrumbs that led nowhere. I was worried about the other stuff that I would find out about my father that might be unpleasant, but as things were, It was best to prepare my mind for the worse because my father had hidden too much from me. There was no way he had no clue. what he stole. If he could try to pass my mother’s wealth as his own, I wouldn’t put anything past him there. My mother must have known the kind of person he was, which was why she named everything after me. All the issues and unanswered questions made me decide to dig into my mother’s death. I needed to know why she was poisoned and who did it. It might take a while, but right now, every piece of information we get is vital to propel us forward.

I left Tai in the morning and promised her I wouldn’t be long. We were meeting at the headquarters, and I needed to be there physically. Only a few high-ranking military officials were going to be there. I wished Tia could join us. Her quick thinking was critical, but she threw up most of the night, so I figured to let her sleep through the morning. I would have to run everything by her when I return. For now, we would make do. Kirk was also a good analyst. Their scores were neck to neck, but Tia beat him in almost everything except the physical examinations.

I arrived at the headquarters to find everyone there. Caleb, Mike and Kirk were already discussing the strategy before I came.
