Chapter 703 Due

Several months later…

Kai and Kelly had arrived at the hospital as soon as they had received the news that Abi was already in the hospital as she was due at any moment now. The baby is going to be finally here!

The couple had just come from an important event of Qinn Corporation. In fact, Kelly and Kai are now hailed as the new and reigning King and Queen of the business world. The couple even graced famous magazines together and with their stunning and exotic looks, the both of them had long since been labelled as the hottest young tycoon couple.

And because of that, they have been extremely busy. So much so, that they could not take time off and have their private escapades as they had used to do earlier on in their relationship. It would be a lucky thing if they could even have the weekend uninterrupted together. However, despite the couple's busy schedules, a message from Alex was all it took for the two busiest young tycoons to come flying over to wait in on a birthing.

As Kelly held both of Abi's hands in her own, stroking them with small comforting strokes as the two best friends laughed and chatted up a storm and caught up with each other on every topic under the sun – as only women could – Alex and Kai stepped out of the room, knowing that their presences were not needed there for the moment with the two women going on as they were.

"You know that Abi's case is normal, right?" Kai started, seeing that the almighty Alexander looked incredibly jumpy already when Abi was even yet to give birth. He wondered how the man would even pass his minutes and hours in waiting once Abi finally entered into the active birthing phase. He could only internally give a light chuckle looking at the currently frowning soon-to-be father.

"Her due is supposed to be the other day, yet the baby's not coming out yet." Alex replied tensely, unable to hide his intense worry any longer in front of his friend. He had held it all in and tried to be as calm and collected as he could when he was with Abi so that he would not affect her and stress her out in turn. However, now that she was with Kelly and he could get away to chat with Kai, this was the time for him to release his pent-up worries.

"Sometimes that happens to many women, Alex. I believe the doctor would have told you not to worry too much already, right?"

Alex did not respond. He instead glared at the glass window for a while before looking at Kai again. "Where is that devil brother of yours? I have not seen his face for a long time now."

"Well, he had found himself a new job to keep him busy right now. He'd killed the boss of the infamous Blood Mafia months ago during one of their hunts in Europe and took over the boss' position after he found out that the former boss was a noble vampire."

"Tch… so after he's bored of playing at being a CEO, he now runs off to become a mafia boss? That guy's going to run out of a job to keep himself busy pretty much very soon." Alex shook his head.

"But knowing him, he must have another hidden agenda on why he took over that organization. It's an organization the whole world is notoriously watching and chasing after right now."

"Of course. We already know that whenever he does something, it only means he is up to something. But that's not my concern right now," Alex's brows creased and then his gaze became extremely serious. "I don't care if he's a mafia boss or whatever, just get him on the phone and tell him to come. Now!" Alex growled irritably as he scrunched both his hands into his hair, making them stand up comically.

"You want Zeke to be here?!" Kai was surprised.

Alex looked away again. He looked like he hated the idea, but it was obvious that his worry for his beloved wife overruled everything else. "Just in case. I only need him here to be on standby. So, go give him a call. And if by any chance he's not here by tonight…" his eyes gleamed dangerously, "I'll force him to come… one way or another."

While Kai was speechless, Abi's father approached them, and Alex's dangerous and fierce expression immediately smoothened out before settling into one that was extremely docile. Kai was flabbergasted as he saw the sudden transformation of Alex before his very eyes. He smirked as he looked at Alex, thinking that how hen-pecked he was now that Abi had fully tamed this powerful immortal. Alex caught the smirk and only gave a quick narrowing of his eyes as a warning before reverting to that docile façade as his father-in-law was only a few steps away from them. He knew what Kai was thinking. However, he laughed within himself as he thought, 'Wait till your turn comes. Then let's see how you behave then, brat!'

After patting Kai's shoulder heavily and giving him a meaningful gaze, Alex led his father-in-law towards Abi's room.

A deep and long sigh escaped from Kai's lips, and he looked over at his secretary who was with his wife's bodyguards not far away from them. The secretary immediately approached him with one glance from himself. He was Ezekiel's secretary before he had left, and he was an intelligent vampire who loved dealing with business intricacies and was a top-notch hacker as well.

"Connect me with Zeke now." Kai ordered and the man nodded briskly. His manner was professional and no-nonsense which Kai appreciated. He could not stand those bootlickers who could talk more than they could get things done.

It took a while longer before the secretary managed to connect to Ezekiel's phone. However, no one was answering the call.

"They're not answering." The secretary reported.

Kai sighed as he looked at his wristwatch wearily. "Leave him a text. Tell him Alex is cooking up some kind of trouble." Kai said and as soon as the secretary sent the message off, he tried calling one last time. This time, someone finally received the call.
