Bedmates Soulmates
CHAPTER 356

In the living room, Glana glared at the other intruder. "What are you doing here?"

Kai cleared his throat, offering a sheepish smile. 'Miss Mills, we've met before. I drove you home from The Analogue last time, remember? I'm Mr McCarthy's assistant. My name is -

"I didn't ask who you are. Glana cut him off. 'Of course I remember you. I asked what you're doing here in my house!!

"Uh, Boss is here to pick up Young Madam, so...!

'Does he always barge into other people's houses to pick up his wife?" Giana pointed at her bedro room! This is trespassing! "But Young Madam ran away. You helped her. Which is aiding and abetting."

Giana was speechless.

'I'm sorry for the way we came, but it couldn't be helped,' Kal said. 'Boss is just worried about her."

Giana headed for her bedroom.

'I wouldn't do that if I were you,

Miss M

Mills. Kai shifted his body and blocked her path.

"Why not? It's my house, and it's my room!"

"They might be, uh, getting busy in there. I don't think they want to be interrupted."

When Giana caught on to what he was saying, she blushed. 'But it's my house! He can't...Get out of my way!"

'I'm sorry, Miss Mills." Kai didn't budge.

Giana gnashed her teeth.

Kira breathed in the man's familiar minty scent.

She tried to back away from him, but he had

It cushioned the impact when she was pushed against the wall, but it also cut off her exit

She was trapped in his arms.

'Why did you run?"

Standing this close to him, Kira could feel the vibration in his chest as he spoke.

"What are you doing here?"

She didn't answer his question.

Not did she ask how he managed to track her down.

She knew how resourceful the man could be.

'Tasked you first.' Austyn pulled her in.

'Ow!!

"What's wrong?' He immediately released his grip on her wrist.

'My arm hurts:'

It didn't, but she just wanted to get out of this position, with him towering over her and his scent enveloping her.

'I'll call a doctor over. Austyn reached for his phone.

'Don't. I'm fine. It doesn't hurt now."

Kira moved sideways out of his embrace.

'So, back to the question.' Austyn fastened his gaze on her face. "Why did you run?"

Kira looked away. "I wasn't running. I was coming back to the room to get my coat. It's chilly."

"You know that's not what I meant. I asked you, why did you run from the hospital?"

Kira took a step to the left.

Austyn mirrored her move.

He was still standing right in front of her, close enough for her to feel the heat emanating from his body. 'The doctor told me it was just a bruise. I didn't need to stay at the hospital. I could go wherever I wanted." "Why didn't you tell me?"

'Tell you what?" Kira sneered. 'Would an inmate tell the jailer about her plan to break out? I'm not that stupid."

Austyn lifted her chin with a finger and stared straight into her eyes. "You think I was keeping you a prisoner?"

Kira swatted his hand away.

"You have food served to you, a team of doctors and nurses at your beck and call, guards and an assistant for you to boss around. You call this imprisonment? Kira Hewitt, do you even know what a real prison looks like?" His cold voice matched the frigid look on his face.

Kira raised her head, glaring at him defiantly. "I'm not a criminal. I don't need to know what a real prison looks like. All I know is when you hold someone against their will, it's imprisonment!!

Her clothes and bag were taken from her.

No visitors were allowed in her room.

She had to steal her phone back from Kai's briefcase to call Giana.

If she didn't, who knew how much longer she would remain locked up?

Get Your Story Straight

o intent to charge me with the crime, I might as well make it

Austyn unbuttoned his cufflinks and rolled up his sleeves. 'Since you are so

count.'

"What are you doing?' Kira inched away from him.

'Aah!' She yelped.

The man bent his knees, threw both arms around her waist and hoisted her over his shoulders.

He carried her upside down like she was a sandbag.

Kira's face collided with the man's stomach. "Put me down!"

Austyn ignored her, pulled the door open and came out of the bedroom

Glana dashed for the bedroom when she heard Kira's scream, but Kal blocked her.

'Move asidel'

She was about to give the man a low roundhouse kick when the door opened.

'As you can see," Kai said, clearing his throat, 'Young Madam is fine. Don't worry, Miss Mills. Boss will never hurt her."

'You call that tine?" Glana wanted to help her friend, but she didn't know where to start

Kira's buttocks were resting on Austyn's shoulder.

ller face was buried in the man's shirt.

Her voice came out muffled. 'Giana, help!'

'Mr McCarthy.'Glana planted herself in front of Austyn. 'Please put her down."

'Miss Mills, this is a family matter. Please get out of my way."

'Put her down first!!

Kira felt blood rushing to her face. 'Help!"

She pelted Austyn's chest with her fists, but the man had thick muscles and barely felt the impact.

She groped blindly and felt she'd grabbed something.

His arm.

Kira sank her teeth into his biceps.

She couldn't even penetrate the darned fabric.

All it earned her was a slap on her buttocks.

'ow!'

'If you won't get out of the way... Austyn said to Giana, running a hand suggestively over Kira's backside. 'I may be forced to borrow your bedroom. The bed is small, but I think it'll do.' Giana was blushing furiously, 'I don't...it's not... What do you...

'I'm her husband. She's my wife. Austyn's hand didn't stop. "What do you think we'll do in the bedroom?

Kira felt her cheeks burning up.

She didn't dare move

The more she struggled, the more shameless the man got.

Kai looked away.

Giana took a step to the side.

She gave Kira a helpless look.

She tried, but the enemy was too strong.

Your Story Sight

Austyn, triumphant, moved past her.

'Glana!" Kira tried to raise her head when she realised Austyn was moving. 'Help!!

'Sorry.'Giana shrugged and spread out her hands.

I'm getting kidnapped!"

'You're just going home, Giana said. 'Your husband's right, this is a family matter. My hands are tied.'

She chased after Austyn. 'Mr McCarthy, will you promise not to hurt Kira?"

'Don't worry, Miss Mills, Kai said. 'Boss will never lay a finger on a woman, let alone his wife."

'But 1- Kira's plea for help was cut off as the door shut behind her.

Austyn strode towards the lift.

Kira hoped a neighbour could see them and come to her rescue, but the man walked too fast.

'Bastard! Put me down this instant!'

Kai jogged ahead to summon the lift.

'Help! Somebody! Call the police! I'm getting kidnapped!'

Austyn patted her buttocks. 'Be quiet.'

'This is domestic violence! I'm going

to sue you!!

Kira's voice was hoarse from all the shouting
