Resisting My Ex-Bully A Long Flight
KILLIANTo say that the last twenty-four hours had been exhausting would have been a huge understatement. Preparing for the sudden trip chained me to the desk in my study for several hours, and the last-minute meetings my father sent me to were an unbelievable pain in the ass. The meetings turned out to be rather pointless, and, by the end of the third one, I had become certain they were meant to keep me occupied and away from other important issues… like the matter of the thief who had tried to steal Josie's purse.My restlessness grew by the heartbeat, and I was seconds away from calling her using my standard phone. I knew that sooner or later, I was bound to do something reckless, and today I was sliding on the verge. I was going to risk making that call. All I needed was a moment of privacy—a place without Estelle or her minions. The problem was that they were hell-bent on guarding me throughout the day, to the ridiculous extent that I couldn't even go to the men's room without se
Resisting My Ex-Bully Welcome to Hong Kong
JOSIEI watched Killian as he returned to his spot, a smirk crossing his lips. Beside me, Kaiden rested with his eyes closed, and Estelle was still sleeping soundly in her seat, which now resembled a comfortable, single bed. Still, I couldn't be certain that this plane was free of Estelle's spies. I was a little bit reckless, but I finally met Killian's gaze, and his smile rose.He twisted in his seat to face me and whispered, “Ryder found the original picture. The one Estelle gave me was edited. We have proof.”I covered my mouth with my hand to contain a chuckle. At least there was one good piece of information in all this mess. I felt as if we dodged Estelle's bullet. She wouldn't be able to use this made-up story against me.I wished I could leap off my seat and hug him. I would love to wrap my arms around him. Instead, I curled my fingers around the armrests, stopping myself from doing something utterly stupid like rushing to the opposite side and kissing the man who was supposed
Resisting My Ex-Bully First Night
I surveyed my surroundings as if something as big as a second mattress might have been hard to notice within this spacious bedroom. Restlessness clenched my chest. I ran out of the bedroom and glanced around. There had to be something I could use instead of a bed. A large chair, perhaps?I spotted a settee upholstered in deep purple velvet. It seemed to be an antique, or it had been made to resemble one. I stepped closer and winced at the hard wooden frame and uncomfortable curve that would force my neck to be craned at an awkward angle throughout the night. A hard pass.Two armchairs could have worked. I scanned the furniture carefully and realized that if I moved them together—“The bed is large. You won't even notice me sleeping next to you,” Kaiden's voice sounded behind me.I turned around, giving him a wry smile. He was leaning one shoulder against the doorframe, arms crossed. “I… I can sleep on the floor,” I stated.“No.” He walked over and grabbed my hand before leading me bac
Resisting My Ex-Bully A Partner in Crime
My neck hurt like hell. I even thought it would stay twisted to one side as I lifted myself from the insanely uncomfortable settee. Still, it was better than risking finding myself in an utterly humiliating situation.Kaiden greeted me with a tossed good morning before locking himself in the bathroom and taking a long shower. I slightly sighed in relief, seeing his casual behavior. Perhaps he didn't know I had splayed myself on top of him at some point. God, I certainly wished he had been dead asleep then.I did a few stretching exercises—mainly to relieve the pain in my neck and back—just as Kaiden finally exited the bathroom. I slipped inside as soon as he walked out of it, quickly showering and putting on light makeup. When I finished, the servants knocked on our doors to deliver breakfast.They suggested having breakfast on the terrace. We agreed, and a moment later, a table set for two was placed just outside our spacious salon.“Today, you are welcome to rest and eat within the
Resisting My Ex-Bully Time to Act
It took me more than fifteen minutes to calm down after Kaiden had left the room. God… he remembered. He knew what had happened. A part of me wished to know who initiated it, hoping it wasn't me—the rest of me would rather never find out.I clasped my cheeks and blew out a breath, summoning my composure. Then I pulled out my phone and laptop. It was time to come up with a plan. I was in the perfect place to get the evidence I needed. I wasn't allowed to waste such an opportunity.Suddenly, my eyes fixed on the door—my locked door. A bitter smile appeared. I was closer to Killian than I had been since I had moved out of the penthouse, yet I still couldn't even talk to him. My chest tightened as I wondered what his night with Estelle was like. The acidic taste of jealousy flooded my insides. I didn't want Estelle anywhere around Killian. It sickened me that she believed he would soon belong to her, as if he were some object she could possess.I exhaled slowly, disarming my coiling anger
Resisting My Ex-Bully Getting Evidence
I stared at the dark passage through the crack-open door. A shiver coursed through me. Now that I knew that the plans I'd found were correct, I debated whether or not I should push my luck. I probably shouldn't. But what if this was the only way I could get any kind of information?Not even for a second did I doubt that Killian would get a chance to snoop around. All eyes were on him. Yan Hao needed him to cooperate. They wouldn't let him learn about anything that could have shattered their efforts.They must have been wary of Kaiden, too. He was cunning and calculative, and even if he had cooperated with Estelle before, they knew that now he was likely to become their enemy. That was why they needed to observe him as well.The only person they hadn't marked as a potential threat was me. Of course, they might have found me bothersome since I was romantically involved with Killian, but I had no doubt that in their minds, I was rather easily disposable.Another shudder rushed through my
Resisting My Ex-Bully Play Dumb
I stumbled back, keeping my eyes on the man before me. In the dimly lit corridor, he resembled a feral beast—a predator, a second from devouring its prey. I closed my eyes and opened them again, forcing myself to shove the fear away. The tall Asian in front of me resembled one of those main leads in Chinese romance dramas. His black suit alluringly complimented his well-built body. His short, black hair was ideally styled, and every angle of his face seemed perfect. And if he hadn't been so insanely intimidating, I would have called him stunning.“Who are you? How did you get here?” His full lips formed a faint, nearly pleasant smile. His tone was soft, coaxing, but I didn't miss the deadly, sharp edge an inch beneath the surface.I sucked in a ragged breath and painted a nervous smile. Play dumb, my instincts told me. I listened. “I-I am Mr. Yan's guest. I didn't know I wasn't allowed here. I still suffer from jetlag. I couldn't sleep, so I walked out of the room and just walked and
Resisting My Ex-Bully Losing Patience
KILLIANI stood in front of one of the floor-to-ceiling windows in mine and Estelle's chambers. I kept my jaw clenched so tightly I was half-surprised my teeth hadn't cracked. The light behind me flashed and faded as Estelle walked out of the bathroom. Her silhouette appeared in the window's reflection as she walked toward me. A white silk nightgown. I'd scoffed at seeing her in it yesterday. She didn't get the message or perhaps believed that if I saw her half-naked a few more times, I would want to fuck her.Estelle was an attractive woman. I was certain that, just like the old me in high school, many men desired her. Some men would sell their souls just to see her glide toward them in a seductive dance. She had put on this seductress's act the night before, and now the tactic didn't change much. I wished she realized it wasn't going to work. My brain and my dick both had the same opinion on that matter.She stopped behind me and slid her arms around my waist. “Thank you for being s
