Chapter Seventy-ThreeKillian“What do you mean by let's go, the team wants to see you!” She was breathing irrevocably faster than normal.“Please let's go!” She pleaded.“Desiree what's wrong?” Raphael asked, looking at her.Desiree started tearing up irrevocably.I pulled her into my arms trying to calm her down“We have to go!” She repeated.“Let's go!” I orderedWe didn't wait any longer and started moving .Desiree's phone started ringing on repeat.I handed her purse to her and she stopped to check who the caller was.She looked after looking at who the caller was..She picked It up.She looked frantic on the call like she was about to pass out..She dropped the call and ran as fast as she could out of the field.“What's going on with her?” Raphael questioned We ran after her regardless.It was already night and the place was dark, but there was light around.We stopped running when we noticed Desiree standing staring into the distance.What was she looking at , we walked clos
Chapter Seventy-FourDesireeKillian please!” I pleaded as he was about to land the third punch on Sylvester.Raphael immediately pulled him away from Sylvester on the ground.“That's enough!” Raphael ordered.My tears blinded me from seeing Killian's face but I was so glad I couldn't see the look on his face.Gwen pulled me into her embrace and I just sobbed so hard, the guilt I felt from not listening to killian it was so heavy on my chest that it felt like I was about to explode.I bet he would be looking so disgusted.Sylvester was the monster, I wish I had listened to him, I bet Killian would be telling himself he told me so.“You think I didn't know she came in as an escort!” I rubbed my tears off my eyes again as it trickled down.How did he even know that???The ride in the car was very uncomfortable.Raphael and Killian had suggested that I wasn't going to be safe going back home to my apartment so I was going with them to Killian's place “I just want peace!” I whispered..
Chapter Seventy -FiveKillianI stepped into the garage and I looked around maybe that was why I was getting a feeling of being watched, I didn't know if Sylvester would have been the one to plant that tracker on my car, but Regardless desiree wasn't going to be going back to her apartment at all. Not when Sylvester is still out there.After an hour we arrived at my place.Gwen ushered Desiree out of the car, and Desiree didn't even dare look up at me and I could tell her eyes were filled with tears and It broke my heart that she didn't let me help her.She went straight into her room, no words, not even food. I guess no one was hungry cause we had a lot of takeouts to eat.I wanted to talk to her but I decided to go against it because she needed to be alone. Gwen had tried talking to her but she wasn't responding.I slumped into the couch and I just drained myself there.“That escalated pretty fast!” Raphael walked into my room and sat on the couch.“I don't even know what to say!”
Chapter Seventy -SixDesireeI laid back in my bed staring at what killian gave me..Why would he think I needed this??I remembered the last time I saw the bible it was at my apartment and literally I was drawn to it but I couldn't remember why I didn't open It up.I took in a deep breath and opened it to the first page.My mom always has one with her, she always uses it to tell me really huge stories that when you think about it they don't be sounding real..And my mom would always say;“That's the point, there is little to nothing that humans can do on their own!”.I never really understood that statement!!!I opened it up and started reading.MorningWhich was better waking up to the nice aroma from the kitchen or waking up to feeling lighter?It was both and I couldn't choose both, the weather was cold and that meant only one thing.Wintere was just weeks away.I jumped out of my bed I looked around the room and that was when I noticed how beautiful the room was.Whatever mood
Chapter Seventy-Seven DesireeI thought about Gwen's story for a while and I wondered over so many things that she said…I wondered if Raphael never felt that same way that she felt? How was he able to overcome all of that??It was time for me to take my bath, I got off bed and headed to the shower which I hadn't even bothered to see since the past 12 hours that I arrived.I unboxed my luggage and placed some of my clothes in the wardrobe.I noticed that killian hadn't showered up to my room ever since the time he showed up last...I quickly hopped into the shower...The design of the shower made me want to make the shower my home, the walls the design of the shower too??!!!!!!The bathtub was amazing!!! I ran myself a warm shower and just relaxed!!!Maybe it's for the best that Sylvester tried to threaten me or kill me I will say…Maybe I just needed redirection…but to where???I couldn't possibly live with killian, which was not a good idea at all, I felt dizzy for a moment in the
Chapter Seventy -EightKillian“You are awake so early?” Raphael walked down the stairs looking fresh as ever ..How does he do it…Whenever I wake up in the morning I always look like a raccoon that spent the night in the dumpster.Well I guess that's what I think Iam, Desiree tells me otherwise…“Desiree needs to eat something!” I pointed out, I was trying to make her some soup to keep her warm and also to jack her mood and appetite.“Aren't you supposed to go over to see the office work, since you haven't been there fora week no?” He pointed out..Yes that was true but leaving Desiree in that state would be wickedness.“I'm going to go but I can be pretty late!”He walked up to me and stopped me from chopping the onions I was chopping..“We can take care of her and look, your jaw is clenched.Are you angry at yourself?”..I took a deep breath and dropped the knife…“I am, it's all my fault she's in this mess, and she wouldn't even let me help her which I understand, if I were her
Chapter Seventy- NineKillianI drove home feeling so happy, indeed there are still happy people in this world . I carefully placed the flower on the seat where Desiree always sat,which was beside me.As I approached the house I gained more confidence in having to talk to desiree..but if she wasn't ready I wasn't going to force her.I finally reached the house and headed inside taking the flower with me with a few chocolates that I bought.The living room was empty, no one was in and I immediately approached Desiree's room.I stood in front of her door and took In a deep breath, and knocked.I knocked the first time, the second and the third but no answer.So I decided to open the door. It turned out that she was not in her room, which meant she was lighter already.I was glad she was not stuck in her room.I carefully dropped the flower on her bed and the box of chocolates and I headed out…I didn't know where she was in the house but I could try finding her.But first I had to pac
Chapter EightyDesiree.He ushered me to the mirror and we stood in front of it.. I was confused, what did he want to do? I have been really confused by his reaction so far, even when I told him that Sylvester told me about Vanessa and how she aborted his child, he didn't even flinch. He still held me tight close to his chest, calming me down while I cried my heart out.His gestures heal a wound I never thought was there.“Look in the mirror, please Desiree!” his words rolled out softly, pleasing to my ears.I did look up in the mirror and I saw nothing but my messed up face and my hair all over my Face.I looked ugly when I cried, at least that was what Harry said that night.“You look ugly when you cry like that!” Harry whispered..I have never felt more ashamed of my tears, more ashamed of being weak, like I'm not human???“What do you see?” Killian voiced his tone firm and certain that he knew what he was doing.“Me!” I simply replied.He placed his hand on my shoulder and began
