Killian's POV The words I heard from her were too surprising and it provoked a kind of anger within me. She knew I was looking for Esmeralda and Mikel may be the only person who knew where she was. Mikel had been brutally beaten up by Frederick and his men and he was injured and he may or may not survive it. Looking at it from a different perspective, I was actually doing him a favor, he was weak and injured and he might die but I took him and gave him treatment. There are two reasons why I couldn't let him go, one was that I wanted to extort information from him regarding Frederick, even the littlest thing he must know and the other was that he was too weak to be going up and down, he was too weak to be stressed. Hearing these words from Paula made me feel weird and very angry. She was already seeming suspicious from the things she had done, from helping Mikel delete those CCTV footage to actually letting him go free from my custody and now she waa doing the same thing. She waa
Killian's POVI frowned as those words flowed into my ears. I was irritated that Camille could have gotten to Esmeralda before I did. I didn't know if I had taken kongbin getting dressed or if it was because i had gone to pick Wesley up but somehow, Camille had gone there before me.Somehow, Camille had found out about Esmeralda's location which was only known to the both of us. I kept thinking of the day before, when I caught Paula talking to Camille on the phone. It wasn't enough to prove that Paula was the one that shared Esmeralda's location but if she really was the one, I wasn't sure that I would be that surprised.When I lifted my head, I saw different pairs of eyes staring back at me but my eyes were focused on one in particular.Wesley looked like he was very worried about me. Hell, I was worried about me because I was on the verge of bringing down hellfire on Camille and probably Paula.They were the ones who caused all this to happen. The only reason that I could think tha
Killian's POV. "I think I should go home," Wesley said from beside me. I was not expecting such a suggestion from him. For some reason, I thought he must've understood that I needed him there, that I needed his ability to keep me pinned to the ground because I was too angry, too outraged to be able to do that myself. I was scared that I was going to hurt Paula. I didn't want to hurt her, but I was so angry that I felt like I was going to do it. Several times she has given me so many reasons to actually hurt her but other than my tenets of never hitting a woman, she was pregnant too and with my child. However, she had done so many wrong things to me that sometimes those reasons begin to blur like they're doing right now. "What do you mean?" I asked him. He chuckled, "Killian, do you want me to spend the night over at your place? Aren't we moving too fast?" I looked at him. His brown eyes were dark in the night and his curly hair fell right over his eyebrows. The smile on his face
Killian's POV "I think that's a wrong thing to say, '' Susan said. She was glaring at Wesley but he looked like there was no way he could ever be able to care less of what Susan thought about his words. He was more into trying to calm me down and I saw it in his eyes. Meanwhile, Susan was hell bent on proving to Wesley and I that Paula wasn't as horrible as I explained her to be. "Miss Paula isn't like that. She only feels that way about Esmeralda because of how you feel for her. Miss Paula isn't a horrible person". I chuckled, before turning to Wesley, "do you know, she almost killed Esmeralda's brother". Wesley adjusted his stance, probably finding my words hard to believe. "What do you mean?" "Mr Killian is being silly. Miss Paula didn't try to kill Izan, she said she had been trying to help. Izan doesn't want to be a werewolf and Miss Paula thought that Esmeralda's blood was going to rid him of whatever was turning him into a werewolf". Susan argued. "But, didn't Esmerald
Esmeralda's POV Mikel's mother had kept me locked away in her attic for a while. Food had not been delivered to me and I was slowly starting to lose strength in my joints. Everything was aching me, from my head to my stomach and then to my legs. I had escaped from one kidnapper only to be met with another. I still didn't know what happened with Frederick if he survived the wound on his chest or not. I was still very concerned about Freya, I had no idea if she would hate me after what I did to her father or not. It was stupid to even expect that she wouldn't want to disembowel me seeing that I had almost killed her father if he did survive it. I was feeling very guilty for her. I couldn't help but remember the time I felt this hunger that almost stopped me from life. It had been Freya that came to my rescue and what I did as a payback was to almost kill her father. My conscience was gnawing at me and I couldn't even try to deny what I had done. I had woken up this morning from
Esmeralda's POV. There was something about him that I couldn't quite put my finger on. His obvious unusual closeness to Killian was a start and the fact that he didn't appear like he was happy to see me. If he really was just a good friend of Killian's then, he would've been happy for his friend that I was returned. Or maybe it was because he was a good friend of Killian's. That he knew that Killian did not even care about me. He knew that to Killian I was a simple responsibility and that was why he just didn't give a fuck about my arrival. "What happened to him?" Mikel's mother asked. Killian opened his mouth to answer but before he did, another voice came in, "he was badly beaten up by Frederick and his men ''. The voice was mine. Killian's eyes fell on me and so did everyone in the room. Including that friend of his. Killoam gave me a smile but it wasn't enough to get rid of the indignation I was feeling in my heart. "Camille," he called. Her name was Camille after all.
Esmeralda's POV. I didn't know what Wesley whispered to him but after he said whatever he said, Killian smiled and I could see some color in his cheeks. Meanwhile, Wesley lifted his head and gave Killian a smug smirk. I pulled on Killian's arm in order to grab his attention and he immediately turned to me. He looked at me with soft eyes and my brain suddenly remembered a few minutes ago when his lips were on mine. "You made a new friend," I said to him. Killian nodded his head and chuckled, "yea, Wesley is a detective. We met when he was investigating something that Mikel did. He has been a great help to me while we were searching for you". I smiled, suddenly my notion about him was taking a new turn. "He did?" I looked at him and I caught his eyes staring at me. He didn't look for long and in less than two seconds, he started his eyes away from me like he was shy. "Thank you, Wesley". I said, smiling at him. He brought his brown eyes back to me and smiled but the smile seemed
Esmeralda's POV My heart skipped a beat as those words flowed into my ears. I was a bit unsettled and I kind of wanted to run away but he was still holding my hand. His grip was strong and he held me like he was the only meaningful thing in his life. Wesley walked over to where we were standing, Killian gave him his full attention but he still held my hand. "I'm leaving," he said hurriedly. Killian slightly frowned, "why so suddenly?" Wesley chuckled and placed a hand on Killian's shoulder, "do you have any use of me, friend? Your woman is here now, shouldn't show her just how much you missed her or you want me to watch?" My cheeks warmed up. My breath was caught in my throat and somehow I knew Killian felt the same way. His smile disappeared as he stared at Wesley but he couldn't say anything. The words Wesley had said were a bit too much for Killian and I. The only thing we had ever done was make out. Having someone watch us while making out didn't seem like much but whatever
Esmeralda's POV.I had told Killian that I wanted to ride in a convertible and the man went ahead and got the deal done.About twenty minutes after I told him what I wanted, I saw myself in a red convertible, sitting in the passenger seat. The hood of the car was tucked in the back and my hair was caught in the wind and I was laughing hard.After what happened in the hotel room, we both got dressed up. Well, I got dressed up while he watched and when I finished, we went to a boutique to get him some clothes and that was when I told him that I wanted to ride in a convertible.I was caught off guard when we walked out of the boutique and a red convertible was waiting for us and not just that, there were four wrapped up weeds waiting for us in the glove box.He offered them to me along with a lighter.When he gave them to me, I was surprised. He really was listening to me and he really had the contacts for everything and everyone.The minute I took them, I laughed so hard because I found
Camille's POVI had been worried sick ever since Killian brought home my son. He was not healing but he was alive and what was more excruciating for me was that he was in pain.I had never known a time in my life that I had been through such a thing before. I had never seen someone else undergoing this ordeal. It was all too sudden and new to me that I didn't know how to feel, nor what to do.The only emotion I could recognize when I thought things through was worry. I was undeniably worried about my son. I was so worried that I started to doubt if it was a good idea to bring him back. Killian had claimed that he was treating him and from how confident he sounded, he seemed like he knew exactly what he was doing and what was going on.I didn't. The person who even talked me into doing this was nowhere to be seen. I couldn't guess what Paula got from this game of hers. Paula had called me one evening and told me about where Mikel was and how he was fairing. I couldn't have guessed t
Killian's POVI laughed as I watched her laugh. Esmeralda had such a beautiful laugh.Coming to Berlin was impromptu, I was just in a hurry to show her that she was wrong to think life was so simple, that with me, this was the least of things that she would enjoy.Everything was perfect. The night was perfect, when I walked out of the bathroom, when I saw her naked on the bed, she was perfect.On her knees, doing a bad job at sucking me off, she was perfect.Everything felt like a dream, that for once, I get to be happy, I get to accept Esmeralda.What I couldn't stop thinking about was when she said those words to me.When she told me that she loved me. I had been busy staring through the window, looking at the city and how amazing it looked. I was happy that I brought her with me. Berlin was a beautiful place and it was one of my favorite cities and being here with her was perfect.I could've taken her to Paris but I wanted to go to my favorite places with her. I wanted to leave a
Esmeralda's POV I was suddenly overtaken by a sense of panic. I feared what it meant. I had never given it much thought before, I had never wondered what would become of my life since I developed these feelings for Killian. I had never worried much about anything. But now, the thought has succeeded in creeping into me, making my hands shake and my whole body spasm. I was standing in the middle of the room, Killian had excused himself, he wanted to make a call, probably had to do with the surprise that he was planning for the evening. I was left alone with my thoughts. I had never hated being alone, I had never hated being the one left in a whole. I didn't care about the loneliness, I didn't fear my thoughts because I always felt that they were just thoughts and there was nothing more to it. But here I was, overpowered by my thoughts. I kept thinking of what would happen to our lives, I kept thinking about how the trajectory of our lives have been altered. Killian has never men
Esmeralda's POVI bit my lip and realized that those words were dominating and as such, I was expected to be submissive.Killian was punishing me for whatever I might have done. He did mention that he was going to punish me but my brain has forgotten what I could've done because I was more focused on his finger that is buried inside me turning in circles, thrusting in and out in a slow motion.He dropped my leg that he had been holding, then he removed his finger from inside of me. I was disappointed because it wasn't what I wanted but then he took my hands and pulled it thereby lifting my upper body from the bed."You're not a pillow princess so don't act like one". He scolded."What do you want me to do?" I asked him.He guided my hand and placed it on his very hard and big erection. "Work for this".I bit my lip again. My finger grazed over the cap and the precum was waiting for me to feel its thickness.He pulled me closer to himself from my waist and buried his head into my ches
Esmeralda's POVI considered myself already kind of used to the kind of words Killian said and how he acted when he said those words but there was something different at the moment, maybe it was because we weren't in the same country anymore or because he and I had somehow become a couple.When he said those words I started to anticipate the second when we would go back to the hotel and he would take the dress off me. It became what I was ready for. Whatever he had planned for me even though I didn't know what it was at the moment, I lost interest in it. All I wanted for us to do was make our way into our hotel room and he would be pulling the dress off me.I looked around and found out that during the time I was spending standing in a spot trying to fathom just how weirdly those words affected me, Killian was already in the bathroom taking his bath so there was no one but me left to open the door for the person who was knocking.I was skeptical at first because I didn't want to open
Esmeralda's POVI ran my hand over my chest, giving him the sluttiest eyes I could muster."Oh Daddy"Killian almost lost it. He laughed so hard that he suddenly began to cough and meanwhile, k was wheezing beside him, about to lose my mind.We must've been such a pain in the ass of the driver because the second he stopped the car, he was outside holding the door open for me.I alighted the car with a warmth in my heart. I was happy. It was already nightfall and the wind was cold and the lights illuminated the city. It was wonderful. It looked wonderful.Suddenly, some fingers interlocked with mine accompanied by the smell of apples. It was perfect.He was perfect."We should get dinner"."Okay, but I'm still gonna smoke some weed or try molly"."Esmeralda, I don't have the contacts of people that sell".I frowned, "I thought you have the contacts of everyone?"He looked utterly confused, he took his hands back from mine and crossed them as he stared at me."Esmeralda, what could've
Esmeralda's POVStepping on the private jet, I had thought I would surely be so excited that I wouldn't sleep or even try to zone out.I wanted to see through the windows and guess alphabetically where we were going since Killian refused to let me know. Even though he didn't say the exact words, I knew he wanted it to be a surprise. I had a hunch that it would be Paris and if it really was Paris I certainly would be a bit disappointed.Paris was a beautiful city and known as the city of love but it was cliché. Every woman wanted to go to Paris, people went to Paris for honeymoons and all that and it was the spot for romance. I didn't want that. Sure I would love to see Paris one day but not because of a special event or maybe I was invited for a wedding there. If it wasn't the case, the case then I don't think I'd ever want to go there.It just didn't feel magical for me.Killian had no idea about all this. He was busy sipping wine and working on his laptop leaving me to myself. I wa
Esmeralda's POV.The last class of the day was literature. It wasn't a boring class. I loved the fiction and we were about indulging in the magic that Sylvia Path was.We were going to read one of her books and so we woukd be able to read the pieces of herself she left in the world.I had talked to the counselor about the major that was on my mind, she thought psychology was good for me since I had a passion to understand humans and the way they acted.The only issue became the college of my choice. She showed me a list of really good colleges in the country but I tokd her that I already knew where I wanted to go.She didn't seem disappointed to hear that I wanted to go the the states college. She thought it was a good choice and I was going to get accepted.Lucky me, it wasn't a long drive from Killian's house and so it was perfect. I get to continue living with Killian while I go to college.I had no desire to experience this or that, to meet new people or to have the full college e
