- KILLIAN -Liam met me at the door. "You can't be serious, Killian, I told you to back out!" He said, rushing to me. I'm exhausted. My clothes, face and body are stained and dripping with blood. Some which are mine due to cuts and deep wounds, others which aren't. I tried not to stagger in front o
"I was protecting you!""I didn't ask to be protected! Not at the expense of your life. Think before you act, dumbass!""Liam, you're the only one I have, I would never-""And you're the only one I have too!" He blurted, interrupting me. "Before you do anything reckless, remember that. You're my onl
- KILLIAN -An excruciating groan slid out of Marino's mouth as I place the third bloody pair of teeth on a metal tray. He's not talking. I will soon make him. "Still not ready to utter a word?" I ask, holding his head up to look at me by grabbing his short hair in my hand and squeezing my fist. "
I threw my feet up and forced it on the chair he's sat on, between his legs, pressing my foot hard on his crotch. My hand gripped the back of his head, holding him in place as I land another punch from below his chin. This sudden movement takes a toll on my body but I won't stop. I'm not going to s
Marino managed a chuckle. "It's just so easy." With a clenched fist, I forced his head lower and hit his face with my knee. "Is that why you sent agents?" There's something he's not telling me. I also want to know how much he knows. How much his agents have gathered and if Asami knew about this, h
Yelling that only makes this funnier. My father was anything but a coward and Marino knows. "And look where that got you, oh smart one." I took a step forward. "Chained to a seat. Brilliant." I whisper, taking a step back. I pulled my gun from the strap and shot. I'm not going to let him die that
I can't say 'fuck it' and call his bluff. I care about Hazel but I've worked hard to get to this point. Now I wonder if he knows about the hard drive. With or without that school, I can get what I want. I won't let this man destroy Hazel.... or Kate, but... if it comes down to it, ..... my jaw tigh
I didn't touch his face or neck but I've done so much to his body that he may bleed on the way back. That is, if he'll have the strength to stand up when I'm done with him. "You will send my warm welcome to each and everyone. And when I let you walk out of here alive, you won't utter a word linking
- KILLIAN - “Your girlfriend? What the fuck, Liam?!” I rage, dragging him inside my bedroom. The women are downstairs, spending time together to bond. “What else did you expect me to do? Let your woman peel the hair off your other one?!” Liam asks, sounding just as distressed as I was. His outw
I gulp, lowering my eyes to the ground. I can’t even call her name. “I-“ I can barely hear my own voice. “Kate I’m sor-“ “I see you two have already met.” A deep voice words from behind causing the two of us to avert our piercing gazes from each other. It’s Liam. Trust me, I am just as confused as
- HAZEL - My wound has been treated. I’ve taken my antibiotics and had a decent light meal so right now, I’m in the shower, brushing my teeth. I’ve already had my bath, I just want to have a fresher breath when I meet with my parents. I turn the sink tap on and cup my hand underneath to form a
- HAZEL - Killian tucks a duvet over the bed. I’m sat on it, well fed and stuffed to the core, about to lay down and sleep. On his bed. After spending my time on a hospital bed, although comfortable, his bed is my new favourite place. Something about having him near me when I sleep makes me feel p
- KILLIAN - I love my brother, I genuinely do but even I can tell he’s trying to get on my nerves on purpose. His drive is the fact that I care about someone else who’s not family as much as I do and he’s going to do what he does best and torment me. Sometimes, all I feel for him is love but when
Killian chuckles. “For someone whose body burns with need, you sure seem to exhibit self control.” I don’t have self control when it comes to you, but you already know that, I say in my mind. I would’ve spoken that out loud if my voice wasn’t buckled away in the depths of my throat. To be honest,
- HAZEL - I don’t know when I dozed off. All I remember was the two of us getting sweaty and all over each other in the car. I remember Killian being gentle yet rough with me at the same time. Our heavy breathing in contrast with one another as he entered me. As he tainted every inch of my bare
- HAZEL - I am awake alright. More awake than ever. I can’t help but shake the feeling of nervous anticipation at meeting his brother. This is someone Killian always talked about. His only family. The one he raised. What if Liam doesn’t like me? What if, that happens, and he somehow manages to
- KILLIAN - The plane landed. I turn my head to the side to look at the lady next to me. Laid on the sofa and asleep in my private jet is Hazel. Does she always sleep during long journeys in planes or was she just extremely tired or is this her way of responding to her wound? I can’t tell, it’s my
