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
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
