(Chapter 12)

               [Kemeil's pov]

    
     My families safety came first and that also means, those who are loyal to me. Jamie never did anything by half so when he came to me, desiring us to move to another safer location, I complied, knowing he had already did his homework and double checked also.

     Someone has given my enemies my whereabouts, but I didn't know who it was. Jamie was trying to find out, I'm making sure every thing is fine before we leave in a few days back to Spain.

    I had dangerous business to settle and I didn't want it close to my families, especially my children, I have to do this I have to take down this evil syndicate that murdered my father and other hard working men like him.

     My eyes watered just has a memory flashed across my mind. I rubbed my forehead has I tried to alleviate the  pain I always feel when I remembered my father's cries has they stabbed him to death.

      He did not deserve it, none of them that were killed deserved it. My father worked labouring jobs and saved while caring and providing for us.

  He even allowed my mother to work when she desired to, all the efforts he put into starting that company, was paid off when his wine and champagne manufacturing company, begin to establish wider and attracted more business.

    My father employed close friends and people who helped to build is company and make it even more successful.

    But that day they took my father's life and everything from us just like that, if I hadn't taken my mother and smaller siblings to the stores that day we would all be dead.

     That day after collecting my first paycheck at my first job, I decided to treate my mom and siblings, so after taking my siblings back home, me and my mother went to wait on my dad with my surprised wrapped gift for him.

   When we got thier, there were four  expensive cars parked outside, me and my mom smiled at each other, my father had been getting more and more bisiness.

     The security wasn't at the main door and we thought it was odd, but went in because we knew the password.

   My father's cry rang out in the halls as the door opened stopping us in our tracks, the security's bloody body was directly in front of us and my dad's present fell from my hand.

    There was blood and dead bodies everywhere, two men held my dad on his knees while Rye's father stood over him with a bloody carving knife that he had been using to stab him.

    My father's distressed and dying face looked at us, he screamed at us to run, Rye's father started to stab him repeatedly as he cried from the pain each stab inflicted, the other three men that just stood by and watched, charged towards us and I grabbed my mother's hand and we ran back through the door locking and then ran away.

    We packed up a few of our belongings grabbed my father's important documents and the money he had saved to enlarge his business.

   Not knowing where to go, me being the bigger one hid my mother and siblings under a bridge taking Chrushnar with me, we went through the track we little kids use to get to my dad's business place unseen.

     There were flashes of light as the police were thier, people were held behind yellow tape lines and some were being called to identify bodies, there was crying everywhere.

    Me and my brother Chrushnar hid and watched from a distance, then I saw the chief of police Mariah's father off to the side with Rye's father Credo chatting and smiling together.

   I wanted to go and gut him with my pocket knife but Chrushnar held me back, I cried but a hand was clamped firmly over my mouth it was Jamie, with his eyes red from crying.

    A lot of families had to run away has they looked for us, saying they wanted to protect us and find out if we knew anything but we all knew they only wanted to murder us.

    My family along with several families had to run leave our houses and other possessions and lived in bushes, in dumps, under bridges any where they couldn't find us.

   We went to the remote part of Spain deep in the forests and thier we dwelt for twelve years, as I build up my business and provided for all who was with me.

   We worked together and watched each other's back, until we had to flee because of the war and our hiding place was discovered I took my families and the whole entourage with us.

     Okang went with his father in law, Chrushnar and some of the others, before us to here in Uruguay where our grandfather had lands which were left to my father.

    The business I had worked hard to establish for twelve years came along with us. It was at the last minute that I learned, Rye would be travelling on the cargo ship too.

If I had known, my mother and the others would have gone with Chrushnar and Okang in the first carrier, nevertheless I played along knowing he did not know who I was.

   I dated Mariah in Spain with a knife in my heart, after that bitch who I thought I was in love with, I didn't really cared much for relationships I knew that not all women were like that, but it took me a while to even consider dating.

    So I dated multiple women, getting my satisfaction without caring about them. I bought the most expensive bitches when I felt like it, but I wasn't satisfied I was always left unfulfilled.

     Now this woman have came into my life and make me feel more than I wanted to. I thought it would be ok to just have sex and let her bare my children, but now I can't do anything without thinking about her.

     Then Mariah have to send that stupid video, the bitch telling me that she was pregnant, it seems the condom break when we were having sex, all excited that she was going to have my child.

    I slapped her lying face so hard, it's not like I care if she was fucking Tom, Dick and Harry. I looked her dead in the eyes and told her I never ejaculated, her crying stopped immediately then I added that I was rendered infertile years ago.

  That really had her babbling about maybe she wasn't pregnant then, I had Sleven took her straight back to the airport and put her on the next available flight out of the country.

  Filling her with a bunch of bullcrap that I was moving to Argentina, that I I'm sure will hold her for now, Kaheim's number has been changed and he has been warned.

    He didn't even knew they were related until five years ago, he would be surprised to know she had her dirty hands in his parents death. Bile rose in my throat, when I remembered how I had to get high to lie with her.

    I must be a terrible person, the things I've done in the name of survival. The lives I had to take in order to save mines and the people that looked up to me.

   I am unlovable it's the reason why Itrisha hadn't wanted my lame apologies.

   What we shared means so much to me, I at least thought she would have felt the same way, but maybe she was just pretending like the rest of them.

    I know I don't live a normal life, having to move with an entourage at short notice if danger threatens. Me and my families will probably never have a normal life. We have to always be looking over our shoulders and being on our guard.

   Tonight would be my night to guard on the front line, but I really wanted to just be with Itrisha and the children. I don't know how I will make it up to her, but I will.

    Petran came to take up my post while I go and grab some sleep, I thought has he walked up to me. Then I will catch up on my work, I haven't from yesterday and I have more than fifty mouths to feed.

     On getting to the house I saw Itrisha preparing lunch, I hadn't eaten anything from morning my stomach reminded me.

     "Hello, good afternoon," I said after letting myself in. The aroma smelt really good and my stomach rumbled again.

    "Hey Annette how have you been settling in?" I made conversation. "Very well, thank you for asking sir. "I'm glad we are all settling nicely and this place is more secured." I replied.

     "Itrisha are you making lunch? Have you prepared enough that I could have some please?" I asked calmly, "Yes, sure." She replied and got out some plates.



      I grabbed a breadroll buttered it and went with my plate to the dining table to eat.

     Jamie came to wake me up half an hour to the time I should go on guard duty. I hadn't meant to sleep that long guess I was really tired. After filling me in on the days events he left, so I could get ready.
    

     When I went to the bedroom to get ready, Itrisha was thier getting the babies ready for bed, Lori was assisting her, she was such a lovable child.

    "Hey Lori, were your brother and sister good behaving today?" I smiled and asked her, knowing how she adored them. "Oh yes," she replied with a bright smile. "And how was school?" I asked her, "It was fun." She replied, "that's good to hear." I told her.

    By the time I bathed and got ready it was already nine , Lori had been sent to bed she had school in the morning, she was a brilliant child, smart and intelligent.

    After checking that the house was locked up for the night, I went to say goodnight to Itrisha and to tell her I would be on guard duty.

   She was sitting on the small sofa in our room rocking Lamond on her lap, whilst breast feeding Lameilia, thier bottles, formula and kettle was already in place for the night, I love how she always tries to be well organized.

  "I'll be on guard duty tonight, do you need anything before I leave?" I asked her. "No thanks." She replied, it's then I remembered we had not have the talk.

   I sat down on the sofa beside her, "We have to hide for a while, but I'm not a criminal, it's just there are these men that murdered my father and they want to kill us because me and my mother saw thier faces." I told her though that was hard to voice.

    "Aren't you already late for your shift?" She asked surprising me, I thought she would be throwing a tantrum or panicking because that was how most women were, but she didn't.

   "Ahh, yes I am," I replied a little astounded, "please put Lamond on the bed for me," she requested and I complied, she shook Lameilia gently on her shoulder and she burped. She stood up rocking her and I stood thier looking at her.

     She put Lameilia on the bed, now that they were both sleeping. "Where is your gun?" I asked her, "It's close," she replied, "Ok goodnight," I said but stood same place, "goodnight", she responded.

  "I'm sorry to drag you into all this, but I'll do everything in my power to make you and the children comfortable and safe." I said looking at her, she still had on baby fat, but it suited her she looked lovely, sexy and voluptuous.

     The next day after getting some sleep, I took Itrisha to the back of our home, that was home to many other families, the vines we had replanted hid most of the houses,

    I showed her everything and told her my sad story, she nodded without asking questions. "We all have our journey and our trials to overcome." she said distantly, "you and everyone here have been through a lot, yet you all stick together that I would say is a great achievement." I nodded feeling overwhelmed by her little speech.

  I felt exposed after showing Itrisha  everything, well everything except the main source of our income, which was our pride as my father would say.

   She seemed very reserved to me but opened to the children and others, good Lord, what will it take for her to show me some affection, I thought miserably.

            [Itrisha's pov]

     Kemeil showing me what was hidden behind the three story barns that blocked the view from the houses we live in, was mind blowing, there was almost a whole community thier.

   There were children, adults, teenagers and elders, old and young. They live like one big happy family, they all worked like this was a well organized business.

    I was surprised and intrigued but at the same time still cautious. There were a lot of beautiful small houses, but no one came out of some of them.

   Has Kemeil was in his study packing out some files in a large filing cabinet and putting books upon the shelves, that were thier, I went in because I had two burning questions.

    I didn't bother beating around the bush, I went straight to the point upon entering. "Where are some of the people?" I asked.

  He looked at me, "some of them are at work and some are away." He replied, but I still wasn't satisfied.

    "Where do they work?" I asked again. "On the wharfs, airports, at the stores, pharmacies, restaurants anywhere I set up businesses or where their are job vacancies available, he responded.

  "What is underground under the huge factory looking building close to the hillside?" I asked, noting the surprise on his face, and it was at that moment Lamelia started to cry from her cot in the living room.

    He walked passed me into the living room, taking up our daughter and gently rocking her, she quietened a bit but I knew she wanted her food.

  I quickly made her formula and handed him the bottle, I made another one for Lamond, as if on cue he awakes too, these two it's like they work with each other.

    I sat down on the same sofa as Kemeil after taking up Lamond and began feeding him.

  The place was quiet and it seemed like Kemeil was in deep thoughts rubbing our daughter's back until she burped, I did the same to Lamond when he finished drinking a few minutes later.

     Turning my head around I saw him looking intently at me, he shifted closer to me on the sofa and I looked at him.

  His head leaned towards me and I froze, his lips descended upon mine with a passionate kiss, I was taken by surprised upon realizing I was responding, I broke the kiss and held my head down in shame.

   I felt so confused, what did this man want from me? I asked myself and why was I allowing him to take advantage of me? Just then I remembered that he hadn't answered my question about the huge building which was practically hidden my this particular vined plant.

    Come to think of it, those vines were every where. They were even growing around the houses here and everywhere, I stood up and walked to the window looking out.

     Laying Lamond on my shoulders I then walked out of the house looking around, then I looked up has my eyes focused on where the vines were growing in a formation upwards, and that's when I saw the fine wires that the vines were growing on.

    Why in the world I wondered would they do that, the vines will grow to cocoon us in. I stood in deep thought for a while, my baby making cute little sounds in my ears.

     The vines would grow to be a covering over the whole place, it would be almost like the covered dirt road we drove on to get here. I always wondered about it when we went down to the farms it grew everywhere.

   "It caused my husband a very painful death, one he did not deserved, the vines grow every where, it was just knowing how to use it and you could be a multimillionaire."

I did not turn around, Kemeil's mother was speaking from behind me.

    "He just add other fruits and particular ingredients and he got gold." She continued to speak, gold, I wondered what she was talking about, add fruits, and then it hit me.

   The champagne bottle, I wondered about that for weeks but couldn't find any answers, I had thought it was unusual to name a champagne Kamsgold.

     I have never seen it before and just thought it was because I wasn't used to such niceties, I had not asked him about it but drunk the rest because it had tasted so good.

    I had really wanted another bottle, "peach" I thought aloud I loved peach and I thought it would have tasted great with peach, I turned upon hearing a small gasp.

    Okang and Ms Eloise were staring at me, "you all should make a peach flavour it would be really good." I told them, of course I had looked up the brand on the internet, I knew they didn't have that flavour.

  I didn't know it was being produced right under my nose, or by the man I had been sleeping with, a wave of embarrassment passed through me.

    Nothing traced back to them the owners were said to come from Argentina, I guess that's because they are hiding, it must takes a lot to hide.

    My head ached from all the thinking I was doing. "My father died before he had finished doing the testing to add the peach flavour, we are always up and down so we hadn't time to finished the testing process." Okang said quietly.

  "Kemeil will organized it has soon has our head chemist is back from Spain." Okang spoke again, "It will be a good thing I hope we will settle safely here, I'm getting too old for the moving up and down." Ms Eloise said.

    Just then I looked towards the house and saw Kemeil standing at the window looking through at us with his arms folded.

    My arm was getting tired from holding my sleeping prince. I wished them a good day and headed back into the house, as I put Lamond down to sleep beside his sister, I felt Kemeil behind me.

    He was bracing up on my ass with a hard on, I was afraid to turn around but his hand slipping beneath my skirt got me spinning around so fast.

   "I am burning, p-l-e-ase, how can you not have feelings for me?" he asked breathing hard down on my neck. "So I should feel the same way whenever you feel like it?" I asked him angrily trying not to wake the twins back up.

    He was standing so close to me, I tilted my head back to get a better look up at his face, he smirked and kissed my forehead.

   "Move," I said pushing him away, he placed his hand on his heart feigning hurt, I hissed my teeth and turned away heading upstairs. I had work to do before my babies woke up again and need my attention.

    He followed behind me but I headed straight to where I kept my gun, shocked on not seeing it thier I turned slightly panicked to see him grinning. I grabbed one of the pillows off the bed and flung it at him.

    He caught it and hurled it back at me, I caught it and started hitting him as he came up to me, what is he playing at, I thought as I was gently thrown on the bed, he tried to straddle me but I already caught his gist, and hoisted my two knees up.

    I felt a pinch on my exposed ass and rolled over trying to get away from him, "I'm not playing with you." I told him trying to get off the bed, but he pressed me back down using his body.

    I could feel his hardened dick and I felt afraid, "we are not in a relationship." I whisper yelled, "says who?" He questioned pinning me under him. "Fuck yourself and get off me, go and look for Mariah." I spat.

    The memory was still very raw. "Really? Jeez! You had to bring that up?" He whisper yelled getting off me, great I thought getting up.

     He flicked my ears painfully and I turned around ready to fight him. "Don't call her name to me again or you'll regret it," he said angrily.

   This motherfucker didn't, I was so angry, raising my hand to slap him across his face, but he caught my hand and pinned it in a vice grip behind me, I tried with my other hand but he also held it.

  We were both breathing hard as my my eyes stung with angry tears. He eased his hold upon my hands and kissed me hard on my lips, I was struggling and writhing against him trying hard not to cry.

     He kissed me again then leaned his forehead against mine, I couldn't move as I was pinned against the wall, when he tried to kiss me again I bit him.

   Staring at each other angrily for a moment, he then released my hands and hugged me. "I'm sorry," he whispered, "hold me," he whispered again pulling me to him, at first I was like what the hell, then I wrapped my arms around his neck, feeling him relax a few seconds after, my body trembled against his and I knew he felt it.

   We stayed like that for a while until he said, "I'm sorry about lieing to you, about Mariah, the whole thing is just too much sometimes." at the mention of Mariah, I took my arms from around his neck.

    He held me still. "Her father and a few others planned and murdered my father, along with his many workers," he said mournfully. "I don't want to talk about it now, but I just want you to know that it wasn't because I wanted her, or I was ever in love with her, why I slept with her." he said.

  "That didn't stop you from being all up in her pussy though," I said trying to step away, but he held unto me, looking down at my dark lips, while I looked up at his pink ones.
