Chapter Eight
Kai
It’s a long while later before I’m able to call Sienna back safely. Sam sent a package today and bribed the guards to pass it through inspection without checking it. Inside was a burner phone, cash, and a note. I flushed the note and hid the cash while I made a quick call to Sienna.
I’d felt utter rage when she said someone was there as a potential husband. That’s not fucking happening. Nobody but me is going to have her, and I don’t care how crazy that makes me. Our fate was sealed in the stars before we ever met. She is my destiny, that’s clear now, and I’m going to do whatever it takes to get to her.
“Tupuola,” someone says as my cell door opens.
It’s almost lights out, so I’m surprised there’s someone coming in here. After a moment, Leo steps through, and I notice he’s alone. Standing up, I brace myself for whatever’s coming next.
“I heard you had a visitor.” He gives nothing away as he makes this statement.
I nod, keeping my cards close to my chest. I should have known he would find out, but I was blinded by Sienna, and all rational thoughts were gone.
“She’s not meant for you,” he says, and I see his fists clench at his sides. “You saved her, and I owe you for that, but I’ve worked hard to keep her from this life.”
He’s not before me right now as the king, but as her father. What would I do if the roles were reversed? Clearly he doesn’t know what happened or I’d be dead already.
“What if I want the same thing?” I ask, and his eyes narrow. “You don’t know me, but I know you, and what I do know is that you don’t belong here. At least not for the crime you were found guilty of.”
“Yeah? Tell that to the judge.” He lets out a humorless laugh, and his hands relax.
“Nah, no judge, no jury.” I shake my head. “When the time comes, I’ll make sure the scales of justice are balanced.”
“Why are you doing this? Why are you really here?” There’s earnestness in his voice, and maybe even a little hope.
I look out of the cell, and for a moment I think only of Sienna. “I’m here to do what’s right,” I say before looking back at him. When our eyes meet, I tell him the absolute truth. “She’s special to me, and even though you might not understand it yet, I’ll prove to you I’m worthy of protecting her. I know that I’ll never be good enough for Sienna, but I’ll lay my life down to keep her safe.”
“There are already enough men around her to do that at this very moment.” He looks like he’s won, but I shake my head again.
“You of all people should know better than to trust those around you just because they’re the closest.”
“What are you saying?” He takes a step toward me. “What do you know?”
“I know that the sooner we’re out of here, the safer she is.”
The buzz sounds for lights out, and we both look out the open cell door. When it begins to close, Leo slips out. Before he walks away, he looks back at me, his eyes pleading.
“Do whatever it takes to save my little girl.”
I nod before he walks away and out of sight.
Once the cells are locked and lights are out, I lie down on my cot and pull out the burner phone again. I dial the number, and it doesn’t ring all the way before I hear her voice on the other end of the line.
“Kai,” she says softly, and it makes my cock hard.
“You’ll come see me tomorrow,” I order, and she answers quickly.
“Yes, first thing,” she agrees.
“I want you in a skirt this time, no panties.”
“Yes,” she says again just as quickly.
“And something with buttons on the shirt.”
“Okay.”
