Esmeralda's POV. Mikel was still holding the phone that had a picture of Rogers, there was no way I coikd just walk away without finding out the connection Mikel had with Rogers and i needed to know. "Who is he?" I pointed to his phone. He turned the phone so he coukd see the screen, but his face didn't change, he didn't look like he recognized the picture staring back at him or maybe he was jisy too good at hiding it. Mikel was a lying piece of shit and it wouldn't be a surprise if he denied knowing anything about Rogers. "I have no idea who he is, Esmeralda, stop worrying anout issues that are nonesical and drop the gun". I shook my head, my finger playing dangerously iver the trigger, he saw thjs and his face hardened, shftinh farther from me. "You're lying Mikel, who is he?" He looked to be very frustrated, like I was demanding for something he couldn't give. It seemed like he really had no idea who the person was but with time spent with Mikel, ive come to realize that the
Killian's POV. I woke up with the sunlight on my face, it was hot and uncomfortable. I turned in my sheets to keep the sunlight out but the room was hot and I was very uncomfortable. I needed some air and I needed to be at work. There was no way I could sleep in at home and ignore work. Angry, I sat up on my bed and yawned. I rose to my feet and headed to the bathroom to sort myself out. I was so hot and uncomfortable I couldn't stand the hot water so I decided to have a cold shower. The floor of the bathroom reminded me of when Esmeralda and I had fallen down together with me in top of her. It was a memory my body reacted to and despite the cold shower, I could feel the heat rush in my body straight to my member. I groaned looking at the erection. It was not the morning for this. After much ordeal, I got dressed and decided to check on the culprit who was giving me a hard time. I knocked on her door but there was no response from her. It could be that she was still asleep and c
Esmeralda's POVI got home and shut my doors against anybody that would wish to come inside, my heart was aching so bad and I hated the feeling. It was always like this with me, there was always an ache in my heart. I walked to the balcony and the moon was up in the sky in her glory, I could hardly think of anything other than the pain in my heart. The moon was beautiful and its lights was caressing me, I longed for the peace I knew dwelled in it. Tears dripped down my eyes and the ache in me solidified like a stone and remained there unmoving. It was too much for me to bear and I fell to my knees, crying my heart out.I woke up the next day and though I didn't want to remember but I couldn't not remember, I had had this date saved in my head for a long time because I tjought it was going to be the most beautiful night for me. It was homecoming.I walked over to the closet and opened it. The dress i had wanted to wear for thw dance was staring back at me in it's box. I pulled out t
I came back home and wanted to go straight to my room but on my way there, I saw Paula in her room, trying on her wedding dress. She had her back to me and so she couldn't see me standing there like a weirdo staring at her with a heavy heart. She suddenly looked over her shoulders and I almost jumped, I felt like a child who had been caught stealing, but this, yearning for something that belonged to another. "Oh, esmy, can you come help me. I need to zip it up but I can't reach it". I saw that that was what was going on but I hadn't want to help her, I didn't want her to try on the dress, I wanted desperately for that dress to be too big for her or too tight, I just wanted it to not fit. She beckoned me over with her hands. "I was too stunned by the beauty I couldn't move" i lied through my teeth. The only thing that was true was that the dress was actually beautiful. It hugged her curves and bad a fishtail from the back that spread over to the front, the sleeves were transpare
Killian's POV. Fowler was sttaring at me like he had been expecting what I said to him. I had told him about Mikel denying the truth about the bullets. I couldn't blame him for looking at me like that, even I, I also wasn't expecting that he would tell me the truth, if anything, I jad thought he would be rub it in my face and called me stupid. However, he down right denies it and I knew he was lying. "It doesn't matter anyway," i sat back into my chair "he won't be hiding for long now". Fowler leaned in, curious "what do you have planned?" I smiled at him, I knew Fowler would reakky like what I was about to tell him, just like me, he too hated Mikel and was fed up with the fact that I had always been putting up with Mikel's bullshit. "I want you to put someone on his tail". I told him. Fowler's lips curved up into a wicked smile, I saw a pleased look in his eyes. "finally you want to take things into your hands?" "I know ive always tolerated his crap but yhat was only becau
Killian's POV "What!" I yelled into the ohone startling the person in the room with me. I looked away from him and paid focus on the call I waa making with Fowler. The detective hired to tail Gonzalez was in the hospital. It didn't seem like much of a coincidence of course Gonzalez must've realized that we had someone following him and so he had him hurt. I couldn't help but assume the worst. "Of course this isn't a coincidence," i said to Fowler, "he must've realized everything, he is a smart man after all but making a move like this, sending somene yo the hospital, Gonzales is a vry brutal man". I coukd practically hear Fowler nodding into the ohone because that was what he would've done if we were together. "I thought the same thing" he said to me. "I'll check on him in the hospital and get back to you about yhe situation". "Thank you Fowler, everything at the factory is normal, I'll leqve now, please be safe". And with that the phone call ended. I dropped my man back wher
Esmeralda's POV After I said those words out without thinking, Killian also did something I never expected him to do. He had slammed his lips against mine. His soft lips against mine was hard to process, my face was in his hands and my heart was beating like battle drums against my chest. I was holding the tray so tightly to maybe stable my joints, the tray was the only thing that felt real at the moment because the thought of Killian sucking on lips, holding me in his hand was too unreal for me but it was doing things to my body. I felt weak in my legs, in my hands in every part of my body because he was kissing me like he wanted to fill himself with my essence. The tray fell from my hand. Him and i were both startled at the sound of the tray hitting the cold floor, he broke the kiss and took a few steps away from me. I fekt robbed because he had taken his tongue from me. Tje whole scene became instantly chaotic, the glass of juice broke apart and the liquild was spilled on the
Killian's POV Fowler walked into my office without knocking, not that I really had an issue with it. I was just in my thoughts, letting them drift towards when Esmeralda had kissed me first. I had not expected it. I didn't know why most things between us happened but they did. There was no explanation for her behavior nor was there for mine. With the way she sounded, even yelling back at me, I knew that seeing Paula and I together made her angry. She was so angry that she yelled back at me and even employed sarcasm. It was totally unrealistic, it was a side to her that I had never seen before. And when she kissed me, I felt her need, I felt her anger and she felt my reaction to her body. This was a girl that had no idea about some major things in life, she was annoying and downright naive but she ignited a fire within me, a flame I didn't know ever existed. I had been angry as well, hell, I was jealous at the realization that she was going to be marked by Mikel. I couldn't choose
