Chapter Twenty -one Desiree“What did you then do to him?” I giggled while I listened to the story of the guys who were chasing me back at the club a month ago. Killian had decided to take matters into his own hands, how wonderful.“I just made sure he got beaten up a little, trust me just a little”..I couldn't believe I was in the arms of the man I hated so much that night that I decided to go to the club that day. There I was resting in his arms after another night of passion.Yes, I and Killian had been seeing each other for more than a month and honestly it was going way deeper than expected.“I Want you to move!!” He stated.Huh??“What do you mean?” I asked, looking up at him, meeting with his precious eyes.“I just want you to move away to somewhere very secure, I feel like you might have eyes on you”...“No, I'm comfortable where I am, I don't need to move!” I refused.Although I had also thought of moving some weeks back, I had a rethink and decided to stay.He adjusted h
Chapter Twenty-twoKillianNot only did she get me rethinking my whole life decision she also walked out on me..Me!!!!“Do you have a girlfriend?” ….Like what!????If I had a girlfriend was I going to be with her? But her question struck something else In me, more like reality dawning on me that she wasn't my girlfriend, she was just……I watched as this young lady flagged down an Uber and the Uber just sped off.What is wrong with her???No, the real question was; what is wrong with me????I kicked my car to a start and just started heading home.She even let her hair down, just to what??To impress other men?!!!Does she know all men aren't all good??Am I even all that??My head was spinning with a thousand thoughts, questions I could answer and questions I couldn't answer.One. Definite question I could answer was; was Ii starting to run mad? Yes.But the main question I couldn't answer was; why did her question hit a different nerve than it should have???“She's a masterpiece an
Chapter Twenty-threeDesiree…“I will love to know what happened this time Desiree, don't keep me hanging” Lois pleaded, while preparing myself some fruit juice.Lois had relocated to her own apartment ever since she landed an HR job at her dream company.“Nothing, I just left!” I sipped on my fruit juice.“Look he had been dropping you off for over a month now and you just left?” I sighed knowing I couldn't keep up with the lie for so long.“He's just so arrogant, I can't even receive compliments again!” I ranted “What happened?” Lois calmly asked I spent over an hour explaining everything to her. Honestly I missed Lois and I just wished she could just hug me physically, and she just lives 45 minutes away .“Seems like you both are in love!” Lois teased.“What no, never, He will tire of me soon and once he's done I will relocate fully, never to see him again”..“I don't believe you mean that, do you?”.I didn't believe myself.“It's been taking way too long with the both of us, I
Chapter Twenty-Four Desiree I woke up roughly to the sound of my alarm, which I had set to 9:00 am, instead of the typical 5:00 am timing. The sunlight directly landed on my eyes, and for that reason the moment I opened my eyes I almost got blinded. I traced my phone with my hands with my eyes closed to turn the alarm off. It was yet another weekend. I struggled out of bed, to get my first morning routine, take away the morning breath, I disappeared into the bathroom. Also to replace my eye contact. I had eye defect.fruht form birth and I wasn't comfortable enough to go around with glasses. Minutes later I was back and ready for the day, suddenly I heard a knock on my door. My heart skipped a bit, knowing fully well that I wasn't expecting anyone. I took a pocket knife in my hand and headed for the living room. Taking in another deep breath I yanked the door open. Not again!!!!! Why was this guy always the one I always plan to kill unknowingly? “Alex!” I yelled . “Oh” h
Chapter Twenty-FiveKillianI walked out right through the door to her apartment. My heart was twisted.Why would she actually want me to hate her!!It just felt like her emotions were all over the place. Earlier that day she tried to kiss me, which in all honesty I was craving a lot, but I just felt that wasn't what she needed at that point.She really wasn't observant of what was happening around her. I had been tracking Harry's movements for the past few weeks and he has been roaming her street once she was done from work, which resulted in me always dropping her off every time..And I just wanted to protect her, she had more security here because it's an estate you don't get to enter anyhow you want, you have to have access to whoever you wish to see.The more I walked farther away from the apartment the more twisted my chest felt.I used the elevator and couldn't wait to get out into the car, because if I.stayed any longer than that, I would change my.mind and just run back to
Chapter Twenty-SixDesireeJust when you think you are done with life, life brings more offers to you, brings more to your doorstep giving you an option to either give up or live.I looked around in the luxurious apartment that Killian put me in.From the massive living room to the gorgeous bath, the kitchen countertop that sparked in my eyes. It was more than I had thought, which led me to one conclusion, why did he do it??No one who just wants someone for pleasure would go as far as trying to make life any better for that person.I wanted to hate him, I wanted him to hate me so much, but he wasn't even bulging.It felt like every inch of hate I threw at him, he knew the tactics and handled them with so much grace and composure.I made my way to the kitchen to prepare myself something to eat.I didn't have to pay for housing.I had him paying my bills even when we weren't together.And there he was giving me space to chill out??Where was Killian Donovan, cold and heartless that I
Chapter Twenty-seven Killian I walked down to the VIP lounge to wait till my plane started boarding. I had my luggage in one hand and my coat in the other. The airport has always been a place of inspiration for me. I took my spot in the lounge and decided to rest. My sleep was hindered throughout the previous night either by random thoughts or just uneasiness. “Good day sir, is there anything we could provide you with sir?” “Just a cup of coffee, thank you!” I simply ordered. My love for coffee can be traced back to when I was in 11th grade. I wanted to feel like the adults that would wake up, get dressed and the next thing they set out to get is a cup of coffee. It felt that it was normal and meant to be routine. The first time I tried it, it had a very weird taste but I learnt you could either grow out of it or make some personal modifications to your own cup of coffee. I would prefer the statement; "your own cup of coffee" rather than “your own cup of tea”! For me….I s
Chapter Twenty-Eight DesireeIt was finally here the day of my interview!!! I had set my alarm to wake up by 4:00 am. The joy I felt was over the moon.I ironed my dress more than a thousand times, wanting it to be perfect.I hummed along to the music I was playing while I had my bath.I can't even remember the last time I played music till that day.My analysis was simple, get dressed and get there before 9:00 am. I got done in the shower at about 5:30 am , I couldn't wait to get dressed.Before I got to put on my clothes , I sprayed my perfume on it overnight, and in turn, I was going to be giving off a bomb scent!!I put on random house clothes and decided to make something for myself.Cooking has always been a part of me, I won the cooking competition when I was in high school and I always somehow know what to eat in the right mood.I popped some leftover chicken wings out for the freezer, seasoned them and proceeded to make pasta.If there was some food that would be regarded a
