- HAZEL - I can’t find my freaking laptop. Heck, I’m not even looking for it that much anymore but it’s still on my mind. Now I’m kind of worried I forgot it in the uber I took from his place yesterday and not at his place. A lump forms in my throat. Just the thought of it is very unsettling and
Killian hates cheese. Apparently, he thought crabs love them and got pinched. Okay this is hilarious. I fix my gaze on the boy in the photo. I’ve never imagined Killian being all cute before. In the photo, he’s just a boy. A very innocent, cute boy. Now there’s nothing innocent about him. Nothin
First winter with Asami. This lady won’t be the end of me. Oh. He wrote this one. There are small heart shaped drawings at the end of the sentence. I added the ‘heart’ since he’s too bland to do so, tch. My lips forms a line at the different handwriting already knowing whom it belongs to. I don’
- KILLIAN - The virtual meeting ended. Asami gets up from the seat beside me and walks to my side, resting her palm at the end of my desk. “Well, that was some intriguing meeting with a lot of orders and instructions to follow.” Asami says, her tone low and seductive. I’m not even looking at her.
“See you on Thursday, Ivanov.” Asami makes her way out. I take a deep breath the moment her presence leaves my room. These Thursday meetings are becoming a chore. I have to speak with S regarding it. Maybe we can make it two Thursdays a month. Would be better. I seriously can’t stand Asami. “Oh Kil
- HAZEL - I’m angry. Seeing her here all relaxed and comfortable with that smile I want to scrape off her face with a knife infuriates every bone in my body. Knowing she never told me her name and knew Killian this whole time irritates me to the bone. Him not mentioning a single word about her to
I feel so stupid. “And you were easy to mess with.” She adds. “Watch your mouth, Asami.” My eyelids flutter to stare at Killian. So now he speaks up for me? Tch. “What?” She chuckles. “It’s true. I’m just glad the cat’s out of the bag and I don’t have to pretend anymore. It was one thing tryin
- KILLIAN - “Well that was definitely a chore.” Asami laughs. My head is bowed to the ground as I stand still in place. She thinks this is funny? Hazel has been lurking around the house long enough to know we were in here and know something about Asami that I didn’t tell her. Plus her laptop wa
- 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
