35| back together

Austin had decided to come in to grab something and saw Kane trying to find something.

Kane at first thought he was busted but seeing the way he acted, he appeared to be slightly high. Perfect, he thought to himself.

Helping him to the couch to rest, he then resumed the search.

It was a chore trying to find that one piece of paper that would dictate his life.

Where was Jessica you might ask? She was out shopping with her friends and he knew that she would take hours before she would return back.

Quietly and stealthily, he searched through the office but he could not find it.

He was racing against time, with Austin able to wake up at any given moment.

Bingo! He thought. Smiling to himself, he took the contract. With speed, he quickly left the office and went to the police as evidence but not forgetting to make a copy of it.

Then, he also redid the contract that was supposedly to benefit Austin to benefit Kane instead and forged Austin's signature.

Hopefully Austin was not that observant.

It was planned that the police were coming to arrest them all in a simultaneous raid tomorrow. Weeks of fake planning was just for this one moment.

On the other hand, Leah had received lots of media attention as she had supposedly cheated on him.

As such, she didn't leave the house much to prevent reporters from bombarding her about how much of a bitch she was.

Even if she did leave, it was just to get some fresh air.  But she wasn't complaining. It was pretty much an introvert's dream.

Leah just hoped Kane was well and everything was coming into place.

•••

After sorting the papers out, he went back and placed the fake contract back, luckily with ease. Austin was still lying in the same position and he stealthily placed it back. Kane had made sure he was actually asleep before placing it back.

Knowing how cunning he is, Kane had to make sure he was not playing any tricks on him. If not, things will get out of hand.

They were supposed to meet Austin tomorrow to sign the contract.

Jessica assumed Kane was still upset from Leah cheating on him and she thought that Kane would trust her now.

She could not wait for to see how proud her father will be. With the completion of this task, she would be able to do more jobs assigned by her father.

It was a close shave as he heard the door open, which he assumed were the girls who came back from their shopping spree. It was time to act the part of a broken hearted man.

He came down to the door and hugged Jessica with a smile. Bianca, Hannah and their new addition Olivia were with her, as expected.

The three of them looked at each other in disbelief, surprised at how well the plan worked out. They were part of the planning to break up the couple.

At least now they didn't have to worry about being pressured to come up with ideas on how to get the couple to break up.

Leaving the new couple on their own, the three of them decided to binge watch movies for the rest of the day, going back to Hannah's place for a change.

Jessica pecked Kane on the cheek which Kane hated. They headed to her room where they watched a movie.

Jessica was getting anxious. Tomorrow Kane will be signing the contract but she wasn't sure if she was trusted.

As such, Jessica was trying to seduce Kane and get him to sleep with her, than hopefully gain his trust fully.

Kane knew exactly what Jessica was doing, observing the way he acted. It was pretty obvious with the way she was acting, trying to undo a button of her shirt, pulling up her already very short skirt.

Rejecting, Jessica was surprised and a little angry. No one rejects her. No one. But she just kept quiet, and hoped for the best.

•••

Time passed by really fast and it was already the next day. Kane was excited and she could not wait to meet Leah after being apart for so long.

Kane still had a slight feeling of anxiousness, afraid that the plan would fail. He was to be constantly in contact with the police to update them.

The police would strike when Jessica and Austin were in the office. Kane stayed over in Jessica's room, so he went back home to get ready, wanting to look presentable in front of his future 'father-in-law', as Jessica thought.

In reality, he just found himself feeling dirty and wanted a shower to feel cleaner and fresher.

Jessica was already awake when he woke up and wanted to tag along but Kane refused, wanting some alone time.

But of course, he didn't actually say that. Instead, he made up an excuse, saying that he wanted to give her a surprise.

Though that wasn't completely false, he knew it wasn't one she would like. However she just assumed it would be a good one.

With the way Kane acted, it made Jessica feel as though she had completed her mission. Her mission on gaining the trust of Kane.

Smiling to herself, Jessica called her father to tell him the great news.

Hearing it, Austin couldn't be more proud of his daughter. Knowing how well she did in her first mission, it was time to give her more tasks.

On the other hand, Kane was still in contact with the police, specifically the officer in charge, Officer Jones.

He went back home to shower and pretended to grab a bag which was actually for Leah.

Kane had purchased a necklace awhile back and he had wanted to give it to her on her opening day.

But with everything currently going on, he wasn't able to give. At least he could give it to her later when they met.

As discussed, Leah will be following them to meet them.

When Kane was about to leave, he shot Officer Jones a text before driving off.

Upon Officer Jones receiving the text, he got his men ready and drove to the location.

When he reached, Kane was greeted by Jessica with a kiss on the cheek. As much as Kane hated it, he was glad it was going to be over very soon.

Bringing him to Austin's office, Jessica smirked internally. Opening the door, the father and daughter made a signal to one another.

Once they had settled down, Austin offered him, "Have a drink Kane"

Rejecting politely, he pretended to be interested to sign the contract. "What is it that you need me to sign?"

"Let's not go into business right away. Have the drink" Austin pushed. At this point, Kane knew that the drink probably had something and did everything in order to avoid it.

Kane was still trying to push for the contract and hoping the police was coming anytime.

As if his prayers had been heard, he heard a loud noise and a "Stop!"

As the police came barging in, Kane saw Leah along with their families.

Kane was a little surprised with the appearance with their families, but he wasn't complaining at all.

Leah immediately came forward and hugged Kane, having not met for weeks. It was even worse than a long distance relationship- they could not even call.

Their families were of course confused by their sudden interaction. The news of her cheating though they had a feeling was false, they assumed Kane believed it.

After their reunion, they explained to everyone the plan they did without their knowledge.

Though they were chiding them for not telling them, scaring them, they were just glad everything was over.

While everyone saw Austin and Jessica being placed in the police cars, Leah muttered:

"It's over. It's finally over"
