The Devil's Sweetheart

Chapter 345 - Earthquake

With an immediate impact, Kyle snatched the laptop and began reading the content inside. Her shock turned dread and then into utter speechlessness. Leius pharma lab is the most reputable industry for its quality, and she can't believe that they are mixing the drugs like Xanan that are dangerous in the long run when consumed. 

''How did the drugs pass the criteria of the quality management system?'' Kyle addressed Kurt. ''The quantity is minor, but it has serious potential which cannot be ignored. It can harm patients. Did any of the other companies raise this threat?''

''No. Unfortunately, the Leius Pharma lab CEO is also the medical advisor for many of the Pharma companies. The loyalty of the others obviously lies with him.'' Kurt defined gaze didnot miss the evident jarr in Kyle's face. It's not only Landon, but someone from the Government also has a hand behind it, making it a cakewalk for their illegal business.

Kyle doesn't want to believe Kurt, but she has no reason to deny also. The evidence clearly points to Leius Pharma labs. Is this the reason he changes the subject when she talks about his company matters? 

Kyle put down the laptop on the bed and glanced at Kurt. ''I am going home. Take rest.''

Kurt nodded, and as Kyle was close to open the door, he called her. ''Kyle.''

Kyle turned back and looked at him with a slightly curious gaze. Kurt wished to tell her to stay away from that criminal, but rather, he kept the thought to himself. ''Good night.'' He said.

''Good night.'' She replied and left with a smile. She reached home and immediately called Landon. As she expected, he didnot pick, and Kyle presumed he is in a meeting. Late in the night, she received a call from him. Kyle would have ignored him if it were some other day, but she is searching for the answers from him. Sliding the green button, Kyle lifted the mobile to her ear and greeted him. ''Hi, Were you busy when I called?''

''Hell lot of meetings, babe,'' Landon said with a tired sigh. ''Are you still awake? It's half-past twelve.''

''I was waiting to talk with you.'' Kyle bent her words that would please him. ''We were supposed to go on a date, but it got canceled at the late minute. How about we go this coming Sunday?''

''You seem to be ready, babe.'' He teased, and his intimate way of calling her made her disgusted, but she endured it. ''I will take you to my private island_''

''Why private island? Take me to the place you live.'' Kyle suggested.

''Alright, babe.'' He said with a smile. Does she want to do it in my home? It is said done. A little later, Kyle gave an excuse and ended the call.

Kurt, on the other hand, pulled out the headphones. He felt like a stalker creeping up on the affairs of a couple. Glad he didnot hear any vulgar talks. ''Smart girl! She is making a move already.'' He said and glanced at the giant sleeping like a pig with an opened mouth on the guest bed. ''Weird fellow.'' He muttered and switched off the light, anticipating for the Sunday.

....

Three days passed in a blink, and finally, Sunday has arrived. The first rays of sunlight lit up the room. The chorus of melodic birds drifted into Devin's ears, causing him to stir. Feeling something heavy on his head, he opened his eyes. Like every other day, he lifted the tiny legs from his face and placed them on the pillow. Her head is down to the south on Leena's thigh. Along with the cold shoulder, his insomnia also started with Cutie's relentless tossing and turning at nights. ''Wilbur has quite nerves to go for another.''

Devin got up and went to Leena's side. ''The first thing I think of when I wake up is you.'' He kissed her forehead and went for a workout.

Three hours later, freshly showered, Cutie was looking radiant in a short-sleeved black dress. She finished her breakfast and started playing with the kitchen set, waiting for Leena to get ready. Leena asked if she wanted to go to the amusement park two days back, and Cutie readily agreed. 

When Leena didnot turn up for a long time, Devin went to reprimand and drag her here, but all he did was stare at the gorgeous beauty with an open mouth. A standout loose asymmetric shirt style dress with particolored on each side, gray to the right, and white to the left. A robe loosely tied to the side was accentuating her waist. An enthralling beauty with angelic purity. She was just breathtaking.

''Like what you see?'' The angelic voice brought him out of his fantasy image of his lovely wife.

''I don't always trust what I see. Even salt looks like sugar.'' Devin's mood elevated at Leena's sudden shift of emotions, from rage and then a grimacing shot at him. Did Devin think Leena wouldn't give him back?

''Ants reject the salt and carry away only sugar. Let me see who is going to come and make my life sweeter.''

''Obviously, it's me.'' He shamelessly added and hugged her from behind. With his chin on top of her shoulder, he addressed the lovely girl in the mirror. ''I have sucked salt for half n hour to get the taste of sugar out of my mouth. So, I am the one who can make your life sweeter.'' 

''You are indeed a sweet talker, Devin.'' Turning around, Leena jumped onto him, and with the fleet reflexes, Devin caught her and placed a firm hold on her lower back. ''If you keep doing this, there is no amusement park.'' His whispering words had soothing, almost seductiveness in them. ''I will have to confine you to the bed.''

''As much as I want to, we can't postpone.'' With the closeness, Leena uttered her honeyed words, he was already turning rock hard. Leena could feel the heat, and if it were any other person, she would have ignored and dragged Devin to the bed, but bratty Cutie will kill her with the cries.

Along with Cutie and Carrot, Nick and Aunt Jalapeon also prepared to come to the Amusement park, and they were off to the park. At the amusement park, everywhere they went, eyes were on the couple. Unfortunately, the first thing Cutie dragged Leena and Aunt Jalapeno was a black hole with four-story enclosed slides. 

Leena being a scared cat, shivered as she stepped high up the rail. ''I am scared, Devin.''

 ''This is nothing, Sweetheart. Don't get scared of darkness. Remember what I said.'' Devin reassured and went down to receive when Leena arrives, sliding from the hole.

The moment Leena slid into a four-story encloser, she screamed as it splashed her into total darkness. By the time she reached the inner tube and finally fell into the water through the hole, she felt like her soul left the body. As if nothing happened, Cutie and Aunt Jalapeno were playing.

''Where is he?'' Leena looked around when she didnot find the man anywhere around. ''I should have dragged him into that hole.'' 

A little while later, Cutie wanted to pee, and Leena took her to the bathroom. She called Nick, and Devin, but both didnot pick up. ''Where did these two leave?''

Unfortunately, while searching for the bathrooms in the vast wonderland, Leena accidentally crashed into a person, and a purse of hers fell on the ground. ''I am sorry.'' Leena picked the purse, and as she looked up to hand it over, she was surprised to see a familiar blonde woman. ''Morvena! What a surprise to see you here?''

''Hi, Leena.'' Morvena pretended to be surprised, which she didnot. ''I am here with a friend,'' she replied and looked at the little girl who was holding Leena's hand tightly. ''She is..''

''My brother's daughter.'' Replied Leena, and she nudged Cutie to say hello to the auntie, but Cutie threw tantrums holding onto Leena's thigh like a scared cat. When Cutie doesn't like anyone, even if you drag, she will not consider looking at those people, and right now, she didnot like the blonde woman.

 ''Don't mind. My neice is a little shy.'' Leena awkwardly looked at Morvena and has to change the subject to not let the Doctor misunderstand. ''How are you? When did you come to...''

''Eeena..Dein.'' Cutie cut off Leena's words and pointed the finger at Devin holding Carrot's leash. When she found an escape, Cutie dashed towards Devin.

Morven's eyes sparkled hearing Devin's name. She didnot care if Leena would find her behavior strange, Morvena turned around, and with utmost Devotion, she looked vacantly at Devin, at Devin alone.

''He is my husba_''

''He hates dogs, but he changed.'' Without tearing her eyes away from Devin, Morvena uttered. ''Never have I seen him tending to a dog.''

And then Leena's world crashed like an earthquake.
