KEIA

In a trice, he was already standing beside me and without another word, he grabbed my arm gently albeit firmly before he pulled me away from the scene. I was so angry that if he had not restrained me, I would have dealt with her again. She could be disrespectful to anybody she wanted but saying those kinds of words to me to demean my worth was not something I was going to accept no matter what the consequences would be. I gave her a very hot glare as the guards quickly approached and surrounded her before walking her out of the room.

We were already surrounded by people but the crowd did not stand out to me as we both hurried out of the hall. The only thing that kept ringing in my mind was how she had insulted me and how I would have done more if Sawyer did not grab me. I was glad also that I had shown Artemis that I was not the person I used to be when I was with him.

Even with him walking seriously beside me, I could feel his anger as we escaped from the chaos that had alread

    KEIAStanding there in front of him, I did not know what to say at first even though I knew and felt I needed to say something. The words wouldn’t just come out and I did not want to force it because you would not take long before things got awkward. But I finally broke the silence when I came up with something. "Thank you. For being there. For everything." He looked up at me and his eyes softened and for a moment, the harsh person that he had always been to me disappeared and the man I had Always Known before I returned from prison resurfaced. In that moment, that was all I needed, some sort of reassurance that everything was going to be okay. The look on his face alone was enough to give that promise. "You don't need to thank me. I also have to thank you for what you did back there. All right now we must make sure that we are doing okay." I gave him a nod and swallowed before walking over to sit beside him on the couch. I was already feeling better. Not long after, my phone start

    KEIAHe let out a sigh before setting his phone down on the table in front of him. "Keia, you should understand that last night-" I raised a finger to interrupt and thankfully he took notice and stopped. "Don't, please don't don't it like it was nothing. Because it was something and no matter how hard you're trying to look, I know it meant something to you as well." When I was done talking, he hesitated for a moment and I saw something flicker in his eyes. I couldn't tell if it was regret, or something else maybe. However, it vanished before I was able to piece together what I'd seen and what it meant. Then he spoke. "What do you want from me, Keia." He asked. I made my way beside him and sat close. "I should be the one asking you that, Sawyer. Can you for a moment just let me know what you want." He shook his head subtly but I was able to see through the whole thing he was doing. "Nothing. I want nothing." He replied. I felt a pang of disappointment rip through me when he said

    KEIA My phone buzzed with a message later that day and I opened it to see a message from Sawyer. There was really no message but a link to some kind of website. I clicked the link and waited nervously as it redirected me to a website. When the video and headline came into view, I froze. Artemis was sitting in a plush chair, and he looked so calm but the words he said were anything but calm. "I'll tell everyone the same thing. I don't care how she looks. Keia is not who she seems to be. She is very manipulative, vindictive and is a snake in the grass. I wouldn't trust her with anything. Why do you think she's she's ex-convict?" My heart jumped when he said that, calling me an ex-convict. The interviewer seemed thrown off when he said that. She leaned forward with her eyes wide. "Are you saying that she's dangerous?" Artemis gave her a nod that was both slow and deliberate. "Absolutely. We are going to see what's going to happen soon. A year, six months maybe but I promise you Saw

    SAWYERThe moment we pulled up to the mansion, the sight of the report swarming the gates made me groan inwardly. That was one thing about these people. They were always breathing down your neck, trying to get the next information that would shatter the world, and in our case I didn't expect it to get this big. But considering that Artemis had gone online to call Keia names, it was like pouring fuel on fire. The cameras kept flashing like fireflies on steroids and from the car I could hear the muffled shouts of questions. "Are you kidding me?" I couldn't keep the words inside anymore as I gripped the steering wheel harder. I looked over to see a nervous-looking Keia. "I am sorry, I didn't think they would follow us all the way from the restaurant." "It's not your fault. And it's your first time. These people will do anything to get just a word from you." I replied sharply, even though my tone went soft the moment I saw the guilt in her eyes. "They are vultures, that's what they do

    KEIA"Oh, God." I said before setting my phone down on the bed, letting out a sharp exhale. I tend to see Keia who was already wide awake. I guessed she had heard the shout. "Was that your mom?" She asked, sounding hesitant but I didn't mind. I just didn't like the way things had turned out between us this morning. Maybe if she had been a bit respectful, none of this would have happened. I understood that the paparazzi did a very good job at making sure we were restless but blaming it on her and calling her names was the last thing I was going to accept. I wasn't going to let her disrespect Keia like that and get away with it. She deserved to be spoken to the way I did, so I did not have any atom of regret in what I did. She could be angry all she wanted but I knew we were surely going to talk it out when we met. So it wasn't a big problem anyways. I turned towards her and nodded subtly. "Yep." I said before leaning back against the headboard. She sat there for a moment seemingly t

    KEIAI was standing outside the towering glass doors of the company building two days later after hiding from the press. It had been hectic having it done, but I was glad we were able to get away from them without having to deal with being caught up in the midst of those vultures, as Sawyer put it. My hands were wrapped around his tightly as we made our way inside. It felt strange to walk in like this, because everyone was surely going to be staring at us when we walked in. But he didn't seem to care about it at all because he looked so indifferent like he always did in the face of tribulations, like on that night the paparazzi had besieged his home and were waiting outside. For some reason, I knew I had to learn from him and this was probably because keeping a calm head even when he was in the face of problems gave him the time and ability to come up with good decisions. He squeezed my hand reassuringly but gently before looking down to give me a small smile. God, he looked so hot.

    ARTEMIS I have always loved Keia no matter what people might say about us, especially my brother whose hatred for me was already deeply rooted. My love for her was only because Sawyer loved her. Back in college, Keia had always always been the bright one. She was the firecracker and the storm wrapped in sunshine. She was studying Mass Communication and was always surrounded by people not just because of how stunning she was but also because of how intelligent and outgoing she was. She was the type of person who commanded attention in any room she walked into without saying anything. Her presence always did the talking for her and Sawyer on the other hand was the complete opposite, especially in the part of being outgoing and being an extrovert. He was an introvert, was always quiet and buried in his books. It was as if he had the weight of the world on his shoulders and had a lot of things he needed to achieve, which was maybe why he was so focused on his books. He was always that

    ARTEMIS"What are you talking about?" He asked. I growled at him nearer sitting up from the desk, staring right at him, hoping it was going to scare him out of this but that didn't seem like it was going to work. He leaned back on his seat, relaxed like nothing was happening."You have to stop whatever this thing is with Keia. You know what I am talking about, you have to stop it." I snapped.He didn't tear his eyes off mine as he replied. "Keia and I are none of your concern.""Shut up! She has always been my concern and you have no right whatsoever to dictate who is my concern or not. I will not warn you again, you have to stay away from her. What exactly are you thinking? That I am going to let you come in and swoop her herald play the hero who saved her from the big bad wolf. You are not fooling anybody, Sawyer. Least of all me."The look on his face darkened. "None of this is about you, Artemis. It never was about you.""And that's exactly where you are wrong." I thundered back i

    KEIAIt was Impossible getting what she had said to me off my head. It stayed with me all night and kept replaying and coming back to me like some broken record."You'll wake up one day and realise that you deserved better... and you will send me away like I never existed." If that's what she thought about me even after everything that we had been through this whole time, then I had no idea where this was getting to. I used to think that maybe things would fall in line, but from what I had heard her say, it was clear that I was very wrong.Nothing was falling in line. Nothing. Keia really thought that I didn't care about her and that I was going to throw her away whenever I was done with her. Did she take me for Artemis? The thought that she could think of me like that was the reason I was angry. Why the hell would she have that opinion of me despite all that I have done to make her know that I loved her. She thought she was just a temporary fix and some sort of convenience.What did

    KEIAI couldn't believe my ears when he said that. I stared at him for a long while, before looking back at my laptop, realising that I had been up all morning, stressing over nothing."Wait, you did what?" I asked as my brows came together in surprise.That was the last thing I expected to hear, especially with how lazy he had been acting since I tried waking him up. I thought last night had been too exerting, and he was just tired. He smirked before leaning casually against the headrest."I canceled everything for today. Called the company, cleared the schedule, and officially declared a holiday for us. Do you want to hear it again?" He asked, still smiling at me like there was something funny written on my face. I was no doubt surprised as I stared at him, then I folded my arms and asked."And why would you do that? Lemme guess- you're too late to go to work because you had a lot of wine last night. You remember telling me that this work never stops. That we have to get up each day

    KEIAThe first thing that struck me the moment my eyes opened was the feeling of warmth beside me. It was comforting and familiar as well, so much that it made me smile even before I rolled over to see who it was. When I finally did, I realised that I was lying next to Sawyer.Another smile ripped out of my lips as I stared at him. His heart was draped over the pillow and his face was so relaxed and peaceful. It was very hard trying to look away from him. His features were just mesmerising. I'd seen him that way this whole time but last night was special, and it had created a different kind of bond between us, one that I prayed would last for a very long time.Last night was all I could have asked for, a moment of respite from all the madness that was going on around us. And he didn't shy away or reject my advances. He'd taken me passionately, and I wasn't going to forget any moment of it. It was simply magical."How did I end up with someone this good-looking?" I asked myself in a wh

    SAWYERThe moment I started driving, my hands instinctively gripped the steering wheel a little tighter than usual as I glanced at her from the corner of my eyes. She wasn't saying anything and it gave me quite the fright. She was sitting stiffly in the passenger seat when her arms crossed and her eyes focused out the window. What I had done was very wrong. I should not have spoken to her like that. What was I thinking?"Keia," I started, hoping that our conversation was going to solve the problem. "My driver had to step out to handle something. That is the reason I am driving tonight."That was complete bullshit. My driver was perfectly available but I didn't want him here because I needed to be alone with her this time. I had a lot of talking to do, and her reaction with everything that I had said this whole time just confirmed it.The silence inside the car was just so unbearable. And I couldn't admit it even to myself but I didn't like how distant she seemed. I had done a terrible

    KEIAThe moment he was gone, I slammed my hands down on the desk, and slammed my door shut. What the hell was he thinking and why the hell did he keep doing this to me? One moment he was acting like someone who truly cares and the next moment he was acting like he hated every bit of me and that I disgusted him. I couldn't just figure out why he was being so rude to me.The bossy and cold behaviour he had just let out made me want to punch him in the face or hit my head against a wall because I had done nothing to deserve any of it. I thought we were on good terms. No, I knew we were. Last night, we had worked together like the perfect team and I saw that if we continued that way it wouldn't be long before we cracked down on the one that we have always wanted, but then he had suddenly changed all of a sudden and was acting so strange. He had even kissed me last night.As it felt so real and full of emotions I was still trying so hard to come to terms with. But with everything that was

    SAWYERThe next few days were very good because it felt like life was finally starting to make some sense after this whole whole thing. Everything was finally falling into place and there was no better feeling than that. She was here in my house doing this with me and as much as I didn't want to admit it to her, it was one of the things that I had dreaded about for years. At some point I blame myself for the times when I didn't make the move when I was supposed to. I should have approached her during our school days, maybe none of this would be happening in the first place.She wasn't just my long-time crush- she was also one of the very few people that made me feel alive when the world seemed to have gone mad. I always thought that I was never going to be able to gather the courage to approach her and tell her about the way I felt about her, but with everything that was going on now, I felt so happy and fulfilled.We were now sharing our deepest secrets and doing almost everything to

    KEIAWhen we were done with dinner, I dropped the glass down on the table and glanced at her. The past few days had undoubtedly been looking good on her. And I didn't know if that was because I rarely saw her since she was busy getting everything together- the evidence and the people she needed to make this dream come true. I could only hope that it all came out perfectly in the end. I hesitated for a moment and decided that it was finally time to let it out to her."Keia," I called her, focusing my attention on her and on nothing else. She raised her face and her face brightened even further."Yeah?" She replied. "I was wondering if you could meet me in the study after this dinner and I want you to bring a notepad along. I have something important to tell you about." I said.She blinked at me and looked clearly confused. "What do you need a notepad for, and what's the important thing you want us to talk about?" She asked.I gave her a nod and replied. "You're going to see." I replied

    KEIAI leaned in and kept my voice low as I spoke to her. "I am going to need your connections. I'll be using them for some things and I hope you're not going to mind. I have been able to bring some private investigators into it, but I need somebody that you and I can trust. Doesn't mean I completely trust the people I hired. I do trust them, but I need someone that I can share everything with. Someone that won't hesitate to reach out to us if they find anything. Your boyfriend works as a private investigator, right?" I asked, making myself comfortable on the seat. She glanced around a second time before turning to meet my eyes, then she nodded. "Yes, he does. And he is good also. Is there anything you need him for since you have hired other investigators to handle it?" "I want him to look into Artemis separately. I have already got Sawyer with me detectives looking into it but this is a kind of back up plan should anything happen, you understand where I am heading, right?" I asked

    KEIAThe days after that passed quickly but not the anger inside me. In fact the anger inside me only seemed to get stronger and all I wanted was to make sure this was all done and taken care of as soon as possible. Artemis had gotten away with too much for a very long time. I was pretty sure that I was not the only person he'd dealt a card since this whole thing began, I was pretty sure there were other people, other innocent and unsuspecting victims that had faced even a worse fate than me for something that they knew nothing about. I loved him, yes, but my biggest mistake was thinking he loved me back when he just wanted to use me and cast me off. Right now I hated him more than anything or any person and all I wanted to see him fall, crash and burn. I sat down with Sawyer as soon as we were back from the beach that night and laid out my plan to him. It was risky, yes, but we had to make sure that we took our chance. At least we had and we could get people to be on our side so we
