*{ three days later} {still kaiden POV}*
I stood in front of the mirror, finishing knotting the last piece of my tie. I had to attend a meeting today regarding one of my company's in the west.
I heard my phone ringing in the bed , I went out of my walk in closet to go pick the call.
" Hi Dad....how are you?" I said speaking to the other person which happens to be my dad on the phone.
" Hello son, am good, how is Kansas" he said over the phone.
_Seriously how is Kansas, what about me, my dad knows me too well that I'm never fine but he can't blame me, I blame my acient snow lion for his aggressive and evil mind speaking through me._
" Kansas is fine Dad....I would have asked too how your house or cars is doing over there but noo I decided to ask how you are doing" I said rolling my eyes.
" Hahahah...am just to classic aren't i? I called you regarding something we should have talked face to face but since you always avoid that topic with your mother almost all the time and now she is bothering me that you are taking too long to decided.."
I immediately knew what dad is gonna say next.
_Damn am not in the mood for hearing this right now!_
" Dad can we talk about this later or maybe anytime you come back so we can talk this face to face as you said" I said wanting to end this call quickly.
" Hmmmm....you know your smart right, trying to trick me, yeah but that won't work on me anymore" dad said feeling like I can't fool him. " Kaiden... it's about time you try and settle down, when I was about your age, I was eagared to settle down and start my own family even though I was still building up the company newly in which delayed me to settle down but you....you have no bunch of reasons why you have not found a suitable girl to marry yet, you know I and your mother are really worried about you reason you are the only child we have and the next successor to the business, it was only because you turned out to be a snow lion which made us to pause our dreams of having other children because of the specialist doctors who confirmed that Snow Lion should be hundred percent cared for if not it may lead to an untimely death and I and your mother didn't want that to happen to you because of how much you are special in our lives kaiden..... I and your mother wants you to attend mr and mrs desmond 22nd year anniversary of their marriage tommorow and I and your mother were invited but since we are not around, I need you to go instead and also get to talk with their First daughter Anaya.... wait....hello kaiden are you still there" .
Thank God, I came back in time to hear the last information my dad said, I was already getting hungry so I had to drop the phone and go to the mini fridge in my room to find a quick snack...I couldn't pick one quickly so I took my precious time and speedily Came back.
" Am listening dad....I would go if only you end this call and let my hears rest form the old fashioned advise, it's boring though because you have already told me this beforehand" I said while putting a piece of cake In my mouth.
" Are you kidding me right now....you know perfectly well that you wasted your mom's time picking a suitable bride for you only to find the main reason was to making the poor woman stop disturbing you about getting married" I could hear his annoyed voice over the line.
" But Dad....when mom picked those girls for me to marry....I wasn't the one who chased them away but it was your darling wife who wanted the most perfect to be my wife and to her, all of them were not perfect in her eyes so what am I gonna do about it? Mom broke so many innocent girls hearts who desired to marry me so much, so practically I did nothing" I said while chuckling.
" Don't stress me son...my advice is just get married and give us a heir on time, please also go and attend the ceremony tommorow, am pleading kaiden , this really means a lot to your mother since her and mrs desmond has been friends and your mother and I really want you and Anaya's wedding to work" .
" Okay dad....I have heard, have a nice day, bye" I said already feeling unhappy.
" Talk to you later son, take care" he said before I ended the call.
_':I don't want a linx as my wife...gross...I like the snow lion with the Dread instead':_
" Well...you ain't getting her...so feast your mind on something else" I said already stepping out of the room.
_:' why don't you talk to the girl, I need to see her, I like seeing her':_
I let nicole be since the last few days and we haven't seen nor spoken since the time of the mini garden.
" Nicole isn't still able to talk to me because she is still shy and anyways I have important work to do " I replied to my acient snow lion.
:' _Fine.... don't come asking of me because I won't answer you ':_ he said rudely and shut our communication Link.
" You will get over it, you crazy mind demon" I said
I was busy with office work through out the day and still my snow lion did not open back our communication Link. As much as I like turning into my acient Snow Lion form but not around people and not especially to Nicole, the dude is already loose and I don't want home doing anything stupid with her...I already told her we are friends and nothing more.
An idea popped up in my head, can't wait to get back to the mansion. When evening reached I decided to drop by the Mall to get a gift for Nicole which am sure she would like, I drove into the krex estate which proudly implement the estate belongs to my family.
When I got to the mansion, I went straight to Nicole's room and knocked on the door. Few seconds later the door was opened by the cute girl who is always shy.
" Hi Nicole" I said smiling at her. She looked at me with her cute Black eyes which looked surprised to see me.
" Uh... good evening Mr kaiden" she said with her low voice trying to be polite.
" No need to call me mr kaiden,. Just call me kaiden since we are friends, won't you let me in your room?" And with that she immediately made way for me to enter.
I took a seat on one of the sofa chair in the room and I signaled her too to do the same. I started by saying
"I thought about something and am sure you would need it, nicole don't you have even one person you miss back at new Jersey?" I asked her, it took a lil while for her to answer me.
" Yes , aunty selena" she said looking at me with hope to meet the woman again.
" Oh really... I'm happy at least you have one person that you still love, so, I decided to get this for you..." I said while bringing out a small package from my suit jacket.
I gave her the package for her to see what's in the gift bag. When she saw what was in the bag, I could see her cheeks lift up a bit indicating that she was actually smiling.
Actually I got her a brand new phone, so at least to communicate.
" Thank you" she whispered those sweet words which sound nothing less than heaven.
" My pleasure Nicole, as long as you are happy" I said, seeing her smile for the first time felt really amazing and accomplishing to me.
_:' hi, I'm back,did you Miss me?':_ my snow lion said reopening the link back in my mind.
' _not too much, but you did miss a lot today when our link was closed_ ' I said in my mind.
_:' really?':_ he asked.
' _yeah, I've been with nicole for the past three hours and we talked a lot without any of your biazzire interruptions_ ' I lied wanting to get a reaction.
_:' you did all that and forgot your close friend, and you couldn't come and apologize before hand so I would be part of the moment but no you wanted Nicole to be your so called friend':_ he said, I could feel the sacarism in his words
' _selfish little creature...you better quite your overrated sexual life and dirty mind set'_ I said immediately cutting the link between us.. now who is at the upper hand now!.
The maid came to serve Nicole her dinner but immediately she saw me, I sent her to get mine too, I really do like spending time with Nicole even though she's the kind of person with lesser words.
The full course dinner was set,when we started eating I couldn't help but steal glances at her. I notice her to be someone who doesn't eat much but me on the other hand, I was innocent before and picky with a lot of things but when the time my acient snow lion started to emerge, it took over me whole, and I became three times of my already bad character.
Nicole was in her pyjamas, a cute pink top and shorts which exposed her legs. I felt like I was studying a course by only looking at here. After we finished eating, I decide to teach her how to operate her new phone, she paid close attention to what I was saying and doing . Time flew fast with only just the both of us and now and then Nicole would asked me question or affirm with what I told her. I could see that she's getting free with me step by step. It was nearly mid night when we wish each other good night.

Authors notes: hi everyone, so I have been giving more of kaiden point of view , ... .... Kaiden is like the sub main character too.
The anticipation feeling of thinking how Nicole and kaiden would work out is bubbling, like would the universe Allow them to be just friends or something more?.
Nicole life is more like a beginning story for the snow lion legacy to reign again.
Enjoy your read 👍
