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
Chapter Twenty-NineDesiree“You are Sylvester gates!” I Exclaimed staring at this man in the car just smiling ear to ear at me.“Yes, I am” “Wow…I'm speechless,” I confessed.“No my bad actually I didn't introduce myself well enough” he adjusted in his seat and stretched out his hand for a handshake.“Hi , I'm Sylvester gates second son of Mr gates” I giggled and shook his hand softly.“Nice meeting you, I'm Desiree king ... .your neighbour??”We both laughed at my remark.“You definitely aren't going to allow your gorgeous looking self to go to waste like this. How about we go on a ride around town, please say yes!” His eyes twinkled and he pleaded with his hands.Just say Sylvester is cute, he has the best smile ever.“Okay a ride it is!”.“Yes!” He hollered for joy. Sylvester kicked the car to a start and there we were driving round town.“I will talk to my dad on your behalf, trust me!” “Thank you!” I appreciated.We rode around town for a while and we decided to branch at an
Chapter Thirty KillianIt was finally the day for the conference meeting and I just put on my signature dark green coat going monochrome with the look.I stepped out of my room with so much aura that I just wanted to take pictures of myself, but unfortunately I disliked taking pictures for myself.Alex had offered to accompany me on this trip to Hong Kong but I decided against it, I could handle it myself.The conference meeting was also held in the same hotel I was lodged in.The conference held was for the renovation and cooperation of other uprising companies.A way to help them evolve either by rebranding or just having corporate ownership with other companies.“I think having a corporate ownership with these companies is a selfish act” A feminine voice whispered into my ears while I just minded my business.This was quite expected.Anyone could tell I am Killian Donovan once my tattoo is out.The reason anyone would be able to see it is that I took my coat off.I turned back to
Chapter Thirty -OneDesiree“You kissed him?” Lois yelled over the phone.“No …he kissed me!” I clarified.“Girl what's the difference?” “Uhm the difference is, he initiated the kiss not me!”.There was a difference ... .like everyone should see that he kissed me First.“How does Killian feel about this?*.“I'm guessing he doesn't have to know!” Actually I was scared to death that if Killian found out he would just snap real bad.“This guy in question, do you feel anything for him whatsoever?” Sylvester is cute, charming and very articulate but I didn't feel anything for him whatsoever.“Honestly I don't, And besides I will be avoiding him for the rest of the week!”“I hate to say this but I stand for Killian and day!”“Lois, who are you in support of me or Killian!*..“Your future kids!”. She giggled.Her remark made my stomach turn a little bit.Killian made his ex wife abort her child, there wasn't any future for him.He was a monster..I got off the phone with Lois and just sta
Chapter Thirty-TwoKillian“Sir Miss Desiree has refused to accompany me to your house!” Alex voiced over the phone.Quite expected.“What does she want this time?” I asked “Alex speak to me!” I ordered “She said she will only accompany me to your place if Sylvester comes along!” “What?”...“Is Sylvester there with her?”.“No, I don't think so sir!”.I thought for a while on why I could do . I can't stand Sylvester and God knows there is no way he's around that I won't be fighting the urge to just beat him up.“Alex, tell her I will be coming over to her place, but I want you to stay outside the building to make sure nobody goes in or out of her apartment!”I ended the call with Alex. Just within the space of four days she was starting to trust Sylvester more than me.Doesn't she see that he is a hypocrite?!!“Do you need anything sir?” One of the hostess on the plane asked “Just a cup of water!” She disappeared off and came back in less than two minutes with a bottle of water an
Chapter Thirty-threeDesireeMy heart racing just with his touch, this man has an effect on me and it is unexplainable.I wanted to hug him at the sight of him but I remembered everything Sylvester had told me.I just wanted to ask but I wouldn't go down without a fight!!“What are you doing here?” I asked, walking myself to the couch.“You would at least tell me how you are feeling after downing a whole bottle of wine!”..Who does he think he is!!!I eyed the bottle from where I was seated.“I'm fine Killian!”...“Is this all part of the ‘I want you to hate me scheme’?” “What are you talking about?”..He just arrived here and he's asking me questions already.“Why were you with Sylvester yesterday?”...“It's private!” I lashed back.“You know you don't just go around talking to strangers and think it's all fun!” “Killian I hope you know you can't control me just because you are sleeping with me!”.“Stop saying that!!” He voiced.I rolled my eyes at his remark, like he cares!!!!He'
Chapter Thirty FourKillianIf there was one thing I knew about Desiree, it is when she lies, how she lies and why she lies.She necessarily does not lie because she's scared she lies because she's marinating the truth in a box of comeback weapons.“You are lying!” I blatantly countered.There was no way she would stay right in front of me and lie with her eyes telling me more than I needed to hear.“Tell me everything you heard!” I commanded in a soft tone.I mean why would anyone keep me in suspense because you wanted to ask why I came all the way from Hong Kong to Chicago.She knew so well that I care about her, so why that question, I am everything but dumb and insensitive.I just choose to ignore it.“What do you mean?” She stammered.I know that a goat called Sylvester told her a lot of things..How did she even know about Vanessa!???All of these had Sylvester's handwriting on it.“Someone told you something and you are hiding it from me, Desiree you know me, Don't lie to me!”
