KEIRA My whole body froze, unable to move watching my mother after all these years, I couldn't say anything, I couldn't move. Time seemed to stop for a while..I was struggling so hard to keep it together. Why was she here? So my instincts were right, it was her that day. But why? Why after all these years? My body quivered and tears began forming around my eyes. My hands went over to clutch my skirts tightly. I was staring at her after all these years, abandoning me to look after myself after I turned Eleven. The scars, the trauma I went through because of her, they all came haunting me. I didn't want to cry or seem weak in front of her. I didn't want to show her how much this affected me, but it is getting harder keeping it together. I can't say for sure why she was here and what she was doing with George but her eyes lacked warmth, it lacked remorse. Her eyes were rather cold and glaring. She fluttered her eyes up and down like I was a piece of trash to be disposed. Everywhere w
GEORGE. I found out my first love, Isabel, was the mother who abandoned Keira fifteen years back after the humiliation she got from Liam's mistress at the coffee shop, which explains why I found her so attractive and sexy. Isabel was the only woman I promised myself I would love, she left me because she couldn't take my flaws and accept me for who I was. But I felt a different thrill with Keira, it wasn't something I could control until I found out it was all because of Isabel, she was the younger version of Isabel. I was going to stop this whole thing with Keira because I felt guilty. I was going to send her away but couldn't bring myself to stop. I tried so hard but was rather getting so comfortable and attached to her. I was going to tell her when the time was right, how on earth was I supposed to know that Isabel would show up out of the blue. I suddenly received a call that she was at my penthouse. I rushed as fast as I could, hoping Keira wouldn't be home. She went on and o
KEIRA. I couldn't say where Sebastian appeared out of the blue but I had no choice right now but to enter his SUV.Everywhere seemed quiet with me leaning my head over to the window, thoughts overwhelming me. How did I end up to be miserable? Why does good things never last when they come to me. I'm trying to hold my tears In place, I shouldn't be crying because of the pain my mother or George put me through, I should be crying because I was the stupid one to have accepted that he fell for me same way I did. Sebestian drove in silence as if he knew I wanted to say nothing.“Are you okay?” He asked after a while as if he couldn't keep it in anymore. I hesitated after a long time before giving a flat answer. “Yes..” “What about your feet? You don't seem okay to me. Get down, I will help you with first aid.” He demanded and quickly pulled over at a clinic. “No….you don't…” I couldn't finish my words because he was already out of the car and heading to my car door side. He opened the
KEIRA. After that incident, Sebestian drove me to his estate. Wasn't sure why I trusted him to drive me to his estate. Perhaps because he consoled me, was I being too emotional and gullible again? I had no destination to go to either. Elena is staying with her parents and besides she knows nothing about my predicament. All my belongings are still George's penthouse, perphaps on a day I'm ready, I would go over and take my things whilst leaving every designer dresses and shoes, jewelleries and anything he got me.Sebestian was different from George, he had workers, tons of securities, maidens and chefs who get things done. But George was being like that he had trauma for trust. Thinking about it makes me so mad. “Feel comfortable until you are ready to face him. I know you wouldn't want to go back to the penthouse for today or the meantime. You can stay here, you are welcomed” Sebestian said to me after we came into his building. “No… it's fine.. I will stay for few minutes and le
KEIRA. Sebestian and I were eating even though I was forcing myself to eat but on a second thought, I should eat, why do I have to be so gloomy because some man didn't put much value on me.“Thank you” I broke the silence at the dinning, genuinety in my tone. I was really grateful he showed up, I didn't want to go back to the penthouse. I can't bring myself to face George. “It's fine. I was helping a wounded person. Think of it as humanity.” He replied, cutting out some chicken with his cutlery. “Wounded person. My foot. I wasn't just okay for some time. If you say it like that, it would seem I want to remain like that forever.” I protested and he let out a bit of chuckle. “If you are really grateful, you should treat me to a good lunch next time. Isn't that what people use to repay or prove they were grateful.” He raised his shoulders and continued eating. “You should have told me you didn't really want to help. I didn't force you….” I retorted with a joking voice and he laughe
KEIRA. “I'm sorry! I was just joking around!” Elena apologised instantly and I inhaled a deep breath. I later switched on my cell phone, George had called me over twenty times.“I don't care…” He muttered,cutting her off as he turned to me. “Keira, we need to talk.” He said, his voice squirming in urgency..“I don't want to. I have nothing to talk to you about.” I declined. “I'm not ready to face you and I will be happy if you can stay away from me..” I added with a cold tone. “That request wouldn't be possible. I can't stay away from you. That's never happening.. I think you should let me explain. I know you are mad about what happened but hear me out” He stated firmly. “I don't want to. Please go. I want to end the relationship as well” I declared. The few people in the coffee shop began mumbling words..“She is dating the CEO of Castillo's Industries, she must have seduced him!” A voice claimed, it was supposed to be a whisper but her voice was loud to one's hearing. “Isn't s
KEIRA. “Here…” He handed me a glass of Juice and I rolled my eyes before taking it. I can't help but continue being rebellious.He snorted out a laugh, “You are really good at sulking.” “Don't talk to me….” I countered and he sat beside me on the couch. “I'm really sorry. I'm really really sorry. I have no excuse.” He made an apology. “ But you are different from Isabel and I really didn't mean to make you a substitute.” He paused and breathed out a sigh before grabbing my hands. “You weren't a substitute. You captured me from that night, I couldn't help it no matter how hard I tried. I wanted to stop after realizing the mother who hurt you was my first love and you had a striking resemblance to her. I thought maybe that was why I was into you at first but it's really not.”“It's a different thrill with you each time Keira.” He said, brushing my wrist softly with his thumbs. I didn't know what to say, I just held onto the glass of Juice he offered me, my spare hand fidgeting with
KEIRA. I can't believe I eventually slept over at the penthouse after saying I didn't want to come for a while. I opened my eyes and George was next to me, we cuddled and did all sorts of stuff last night in his room till we slept off. Next time I woke up, it was already morning and I didn't have a night shower before sleeping. I heaved a sigh, watching George sleep peacefully. I didn't even know if I had a choice or not, remembering the words he affirmed about us not being over till he said brought a smile to my lips. I didn't know if I should think about that in a good or negative way. I stood up in my stark naked body while contemplating if I should shower in his bathroom or not. After reckoning that it wasn't a big deal to shower in his bathroom, I decided to. I would probably finish up before he wakes up. I gently walked towards the bathroom and the thought of being married to George came flooding but a bit of sadness washed over my face, I had never thought of that. Wouldn't
