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
Chapter Eighty-oneDesiree“Vanessa Holland!” His voice went low. I prepped myself enough for this moment.“I met her at a function, she was pretty and all and what really made me pulled to her was her great passion for the littlest things, We got into a relationship which I was glad about, I didn't rush her, we took our time and dated for two years which after then we planned for marriage!” ..He digged up another hole and poured some seeds into it and closed it up.“We did get intimate throughout our dating years which was fully consented by us both, which I will never ever do again till i'm sure of who to marry and we get married, she eventually got pregnant and we got to know a month before the wedding. I was happy…I mean there was nothing stopping me from getting married and having kids in the beginning of the marriage, I will still love my kids and her the same even more!”.I noticed as he clenched and unclenched his jaw.“I noticed alot of changes some months before the weddin
Chapter Eighty- TwoKillian“Her eyes isn't brown, she loves to ice skate and she is allergic to eggs!” I smiled knowing that question was easy.“Is there something Killian doesn't know ?” Gwen cried out..I mean there might be some things I don't know about her, like her deepest thoughts.Now it was my turn to play the game.“I love to paint, my favourite season is autumn, I'm in love with D…I was cut off when Desiree's phone rang up.“Oh I'm so sorry it's a friend I have to pick this call!” She excused herself and went out of sight.I happened to see who was calling, and it was Micheal.I really was about to tell her how I felt….What was this Micheal guy looking for ???She came back after a few minutes….“Im so sorry , you know just checking up on me, so where were we Mr Killian!” She jumped back to her position beside me “Oh yeah …uhm…I love to paint….My favourite season is winter and ….. I'm in love with D…dragon fruit!”.I just couldn't say it….Gwen looked back at Raphael s
Chapter Eighty-three Desiree“You seem really distracted?” Gwen noticed as we gathered the sauces for the barbecue from the kitchen.*Me, oh no I just….a lot has happened lately…and im trying to get a hang of it!” I lied.Oh definitely yes that was part of it but the call I received from Micheal made me think about a lot of things.Micheal seemed more affectionate…More loving, which was very disturbing.He called to remind me of the outing I told him I was going to think about which I had totally forgotten about.Of course I couldn't tell him why I was not going to be there…And I also thought of telling him my mom was not feeling too well so I went to see her but that would mean I was also at Dallas, so I eventually told him…“I'm under the weather, and I really need rest Micheal maybe some other day?”.“Oh I'm Sorry for being insensitive, yeah another time is fine, can I come to see you?” He proposed..But hell no…Ther was sno way I was giving him my address, not like I was didn'
Chapter Eighty-FourKillianI rode like a crazy man on the streets as I made my way home. My mind was wondering how many things whoever planted that camera in her living could have seen.“Why didn't I even check the bedroom?” I muttered underneath my breath.I made up my mind not to tell Desiree anything…not when she was just recovering from the whole Sylvester thing .I hit the 80 speed mark on the highway….I drove the car inside the compound and just a few feets away I was able to spot Gwen Raphael and Desiree. I made sure to soften my expression as I saw her Desiree smile making her way to the car.“Someone miss me already?” I teased locking the car door.She smiled at me and I handed over the things I bought and brought for her.“Are you okay?” She asked tilting her head to look at me “Yeah I'm just tired!” I said ..On reaching the barbecue stand Raphael asked the same thing..And I replied with the same answer.“I will join you guys shortly, I just need to get into the shower
Chapter Eighty-FiveKillian.I immediately shut the laptop and stared at her..“Nothing, are you done with the barbecue? it smells nice!” I tried to keep myself calm. She looked at me with her eyes widened.“Killian…“Hey , we are done you both let's head out!” Raphael came in just in time to save me.I walked past her with the laptop in my hand and headed for my room.“I will be with you in a minute!” Desiree just stood there.“Geez that was close!” I whispered to myself.I dropped the laptop on my table and headed back to the barbecue stand outside.I returned to the living room and as expected Desiree wasn't in the living room. I didn't even know what to expect from her as her reaction.“Hey sorry I couldn't join you guys, work calls!” “No problem here, take a few barbecues!” Raphael passed me a plate.“I never knew Oliver here is into the tech world, how does it feel to be a hacker?” Gwen directed to Oliver.Gwen herself belongs to the tech space….come on!!!“Well…it's a bitter
Chapter Eighty- SixDesireeA part of me wanted to believe him, but how could I? He was the only one who knew about this.For the period of over ten years that I have been in Chicago, no one ever confronted me to ask me about what happened neither did anyone ask me why I murdered someone.I screamed my lungs out cause I was tired, tired of running, tired if hiding, tired of myself.How could Killian do this to me??My tears weren't stopping neither was the pain in my heart that felt like I was about to breathe my last but every breath I took felt like I was about to slip into coma.I picked my phone and stared at the message again. Though none of it said that Killian was the one that gave that news but he had been acting pretty suspicious, that time I saw him in the living room and how awkward he acted..Could that be what he was doing??Why would he????“Desiree please open the door I didn't do any of it!” He pleaded and it seemes like he was tearing up but it's only my tears I'm se
