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
Chapter Eighty-SevenKillian.I couldn't sleep the previous night, I kept turning and turning, how could I sleep??When the woman I love is there in pain and only God knows what she was going through.Without brushing my teeth or checking myself out in the mirror I rushed out of my room once it was morning and sprinted off to Desiree's room.I hesitated to knock but I knocked anyway..“Desire!” I called out to her hoping that she was going to just show up to me, even if she wasn't going to say anything to me…I knocked again and again and there still was no response.“She's not responding?” Gwen walked up to me…“No, she just doesn't seem to want to talk to anyone!” I tried so hard to compose myself…I didn't know how long I could take it …I knew I was on the verge of breaking….“She needs some time to cool off!” Raphael appeared.“Well I'm just going to sit here till she comes out!” I concluded and sat at her door..Gwen sat next to me..“Come on, you both are really going to make me
Chapter Eighty - Eight DesireeI woke up to a soft knock on my door…my eyes felt heavy like I hadn't slept in a year, that was when I remembered that my world was half crumbled and I was trending for the wrong reasons. As the knock continued my phone started blowing up, I searched for it and turned it off immediately.It was my mother…I didn't even have the strength to say anything. I just wanted to be alone.. the knock still continued accompanied with his voice.I mean if my world was already half crumbled I might as well just step out for everyone to see me.I ignored Killian's knockings and got into the bathroom…“You are a mess,!” I whispered to myself in the mirror seeing how heavy the bags under my eyes were.I dashed water on my face and it stung from all the crying. I knew I was still going to do more crying but now that I didn't feel anything but emptiness I might as well just show myself to the world.I instantly remembered that Micheal was coming to pick me up. I walked b
Chapter Eighty-Nine DesireeI crash landed on my sofa, afterall it had been so long since I was at my own apartment…No one said anything to each other…I picked my bag up and disappeared into my room, while Micheal just sat in the living room…I rushed back to the kitchen as I watched Michael's eyes trail me to the kitchen…I yanked the freezer open and pulled out a bowl of homemade ice cream that Killian had made me a few weeks back..Honestly everything was doing me bad by reminding me of killian..I heard Micheal stand up from the couch and walk into the kitchen. Just when I happened to turn around to disappear back into my room, I ran into him.He gazed at me for the longest with his hands pocketed and just staring at me like I had grown beautiful times 10 overnight, he brought his hand up to my face slowly pushing the messy hair across my face backwards…My lips parted in an attempt to say something but the words weren't coming together.“I'm sorry for everything, you don't dese
Chapter Ninety Killian“I need you and Oliver here now!” I ordered and ended the call.I rushed down stairs to where Gwen and Raphael were in the kitchen trying to make something for us to eat…“I think they found where the webcam is from!” I voiced ..“I was about to come tell you the same thing, I texted them and we got an IP address!” Gwen voiced.I paced round waiting for Alex to show up, I could even go to work because of how destabilised I was…“What are you gonna do when to finally get the address?” Raphael asked payig close attention to my knuckles..I was trying so hard not to burst , I was the most overwhelmed I had ever been in my entire life, Desiree and now I have to track down a bastard fir trying to catch a sneak peak of her….like come on.“I …..I don't know, I just know whoever it is has to pay!” I voiced…my knuckles clenching and unclenching.“Gwen where's Desiree?” Raphael asked her…“Well I have been texting her but she's not replying to my messages and I tried cal
