Naomi's POV

The rest of the evening went smoothly. After dinner, I clear the table with Grace and Rachel. I guess after mom realized Killian can understand Spanish, she fell in love with my man. They're literally best friends now. As I lean against the counter and drink water from a glass, I watch mom, Antonio, even my tía, converse with Killian as they talk and laugh. Killian looks free, with his guard already dropped.

I am happy as I watch them. At least they ended up in good spirits at the end. At first, I thought mom was going to give me one of her many speeches throughout dinner, while she talked about Killian in Spanish. I'm happy it turned out great, better than I imagined.

Rachel is washing dishes and I just watch my boyfriend with my family. Grace walks in with a glass of wine in her hand.

" How did you bag such a man, Naomi? Fuck, he's so hot." She ogles at Killian as she bites her bottom lip.

" Don't curse in front of Rachel, Grace." I say.

I hear Rachel scoff next to

    Killian's POVToday isn't going as expected. Today's my brother's bachelor's party and it is supposed to be a good day. Well, it started off as a good day. Naomi spent the night, all naked and warm in my bed. We didn't make love, I just pulled her close to me and held on to her, really tight and close like she was going to slip away.Then, she got ready this morning to leave for work and I kissed her when she wanted to take her bath. I didn't let her touch anything, nothing at all and I bathed her myself, while whispering countless I love you's to her. And I confessed to her how much I love her and how I didn't want to lose her. Naomi was taken aback by my confessions, but she didn't say anything. She just held me and whispered her own reassuring promises into my ear. Before we came to my house last night together after having dinner with her family, which strangely turned out great, we stopped by her apartment so that she could grab something to wear to work today. Naomi wanted to t

    Killian's POV Finally, we arrive in Australia and a Limousine is already waiting for us. Standing next to the car is Scott, an old acquaintance and a driver. " Holy shit. This is sexy." Preston says from behind me. Scott approaches me and shakes my hand. " It's nice to have you Mr. Black." " Thank you, Scott." " Welcome to Australia." Scott says and leads us to the limousine. The driver opens the door and I enter, followed by my brother and the rest of the guys. Scott joins us and the driver shuts the door. The next minute, we're in the move driving down the road and past the beautiful trees. " Why Australia, Kil?" Keith asks. " I guess it got what I was looking for. Plus, when was the last time you visited your home country? What the fuck am I saying? We all grew up in the US and you've never been to your home country, Keith. Including you Preston." I say, flicking my gaze between my brother and my cousin. " Wow. This is beautiful. And you may be right we've never bee

    " You cannot do that!" Andrew says, pointing his stupid fingers at me. The tour guides managed to get him out of the water before saltwater crocodiles could get him. That lucky fuck. " And you cannot talk about my woman like that." I point back. " Guys. Just fucking apologize to each other and let's continue our tour." Preston says. Torrent and Angela stand at a corner watching with interest. Raymond just stands aside and shakes his head at our behavior. I'm pissed. " Why should I apologize? He tossed me out the boat, remember?"" That's because you talked about his woman rudely, Andrew. You can't do that. You're married, take your eyes off of people's women. Killian's own to be precise."" And, one more crass comment about my girl and I'm gonna knock your teeth out." I glare at Andrew as I walk ahead of the others. This day is really going as planned. Keith catches up to me, making me slow my strides. " I'm sorry about Andrew."" No, I'm sorry Keith. I'm your brother and your

    Killian" Fuck, this shit hurts like a bitch." Andrew groans, with an ice pack in his hand as he presses it on his head. He's sitting on the single couch while leaning back on it. I stand by the transparent window as I stare out at the compound. We're in the hotel suite we booked for Keith's bachelor's party. " Stop whining like a child. It's just a little sting." Preston says. I smile and shake my head as I turn around to look at them. Preston is drinking a beer as Andrew glares at him. " I should stop whining like a child? Are you fucking kidding me? Can you even hear yourself? I got stung by a fucking bee!" Andrew is being overdramatic. He's always overdramatic." You got stung by a bee because you messed with its honey pot. Why would you do that?" Raymond says as he walks to stand beside me. " Well, fuck all of you. Where the hell is Keith? Is this night over?" Andrew asks, tossing his ice pack on the table. " He's taking a shower. Probably trying to get away from you." I

    Naomi's POV" So you don't want to tell me about this mystery guy that you're now dating right? And come to think of it, you didn't tell me why you and Lucky ended. I thought he was a great guy." I say to Bianca on Saturday morning as we do kitchen chores together while cooking.Bianca stalls time as she stands on the other side of the kitchen counter and wipes a napkin on the marble island in the middle of the kitchen. " Bia." I call, stretching my hand to the other side of the island to flick her nose. " Ouch." She whines as she finally looks at me. I chuckle and roll my eyes, happy that I finally got her attention." What are you ashamed of? He's a guy with a child, so what? I'm dating my boss, remember?" I dry the last plate and keep it in the rack as I turn around to look at Bianca." Lucky and weren't just feeling it. And you're right, he's a great guy, just not what I am looking for. And this new guy, there's not much to talk about. He's great, and we are still getting to k

    Killian's POVIt's Sunday, and me and the guys came back from Australia this morning. I haven't had time to see Naomi. The minute I returned to the country, I made sure to call Liam, the private detective I hired to find information about this strange woman so that we could check her address. I needed to see her even though I wasn't sure how I was going to react. I just needed to see who was threatening to harm Naomi.As we stand on the quiet street of a downtown neighborhood, I ask myself if this is real? She can't be that dumb to write down her real address when mailing those letters. No one's that dumb. The neighborhood is far from the neighborhood I live in. This neighborhood is poorly managed, with cheap houses and even the street lights obviously don't work. Raymond's with me. He decided to tag along and I let him." Her name is Lily Sanders. I mean according to the name she's been using when sending you those letters. Do you know any Lily Sanders."" I don't." I answer absentmi

    Naomi's POV" Which one of these dresses says, I'm decent, just a little flirt, and I would really like to get on with my man tonight?" I ask Bianca as I raise two dresses up. These dresses are from top brands and labels that I've only seen on TV and celebrities and I never thought I would wear any of these. Killian had gotten me a personal shopper and she bought me all of these dresses, shoes, bags, and even jewelries. I complained about him spending too much money on me, but Killian held my face and whispered I deserved every inch of it. Each time I open my closet, I still can't believe I own any of these clothes. The shoes and bags were mostly from Chanel and one other brand in Paris. Now when I walk through the elevators of KB TECH in new designer clothes every other day, I notice the women now stare at me with respect, like I actually belong and not just some gold digging whore. " Hmm…" Bianca examines both dresses. " I'll go with the lemon. It's slutty and decent enough. You'

    Naomi's POV" Oh, my God, mom." I mutter under my breath the minute I step into the hospital ward with three other patients lying on their separate hospital beds. I spot Antonio at once, and sitting next to him is Grace. Antonio sees me and stands up at once with tired eyes and a sympathetic smile. His eyes shift from my form to the intimidating man striding behind me. " Hey." Antonio greets me as he hugs me. I stare at my mom lying still on the hospital bed behind Antonio and sigh. We pull apart and he addresses Killian with a greeting." Hey, man."" Hey."" It seems I interrupted something." Antonio gestures to our outfit. " Just dinner." Killian simply states." Is she doing okay?"" Hopefully." Antonio mutters with a sigh. " Hi, Naomi." Grace greets me. I totally forgot she was sitting right there all along. I sidestep Antonio and give her a gentle smile. " Hi, Grace."I take a seat on mom's hospital bed as I stare at her sleeping form." What happened to her?" I ask with a

    EpilogueNaomi's POVIt's been two years since I lost my best friend. My best friend who turned out to be Gianna Haines, Killian Black's ex-girlfriend and baby mother. This last year, every night that I go to bed, I dream of that night. I dream of Bianca falling off that window and I can't get the look in her eyes out of my head. That look of fear as she tumbled off that window. I lived with guilt for months. Telling myself that maybe I should have done better. Maybe I should have talked to her about what's really bothering her before all of that happened. I visited her grave twice every week this past year. I just sit there and stare at her headstone. Sometimes I weep, I cry and constantly wish things were different. I wished things didn't have to be like this. I wished she didn't have to die. She might want me dead and she might have hated me for so long, she was still my best friend. Bianca was always there for me when I needed her the most. And whenever I'm in a shitty place, as

    Killian's POVI am driving like a maniac, not caring if I break any traffic rule. I just needed to get to her. To Naomi. I needed to be sure she wasn't harmed and she's safe. My head is in a daze. I can't think. I'm afraid I'm gonna lose her because of what I did. I got this text when I was in the office. It was from Naomi's cell but it wasn't Naomi who sent me a message. It was someone else, Lily Sanders or Bianca, Naomi's supposed friend and she was threatening to put a bullet in Naomi's head if I didn't get my ass there as soon as possible. Why would Bianca want to hurt Naomi? That was the first question I asked myself as I rushed out of my office and straight for my car. Since Alvin was still in suspension and I hadn't bothered to call in any of my other drivers, I've been driving myself.I reach for my phone on my passenger's seat, one hand steering the wheel while speeding down the road like I'm in a race or something. I stare at the message for the third time since I got it.

    Naomi's POVI can't feel my body.I feel numb. My mind is foggy and my head hurts. I try to reach for my head but I can't. Something is restricting my hand movement. Slowly, I open my eyes, blinking my lashes as I take in my environment. I don't know where I am. I have never been to this place before because I don't recognize this place. I look down at myself and I'm still dressed in my work clothes, but they're dirty and stained with blood. My hands are shackled to the chair I'm sitting on and there's no means of escape. I try to jostle my hands out of their bondage but it's tight as hell. " You can't break out of that, sweetheart." A voice says. I turn my head to the source of the voice and I'm surprised to see Bianca. She's dressed in all black attire. Black pants, black boots, black top. Bianca takes slow strides to my bonded form as she bends a little so we're eye to eye. " Well, you don't look bad being strapped to a chair."" Bianca, what are you doing?"" Why don't you tel

    Bianca doesn't work at Colton Corp. The more I think about it, the more it's hard for me to take that in. We've been friends for years, close friends, to be exact. Why would she lie about working? Why would she do something like that? Is this something more or is this just a coincidence? I don't know what to believe anymore. The house is quiet and since Bianca left for "work" this morning, she still hasn't returned. I look around the house, asking myself if I really wanted to do this. Going through her stuff or her room isn't nice. Nobody likes their privacy to be violated. I hate it when people go through my stuff without my permission, I'm not about to do that to her because I'm having suspicions. I have a feeling she's hiding something from me. But what? What would that be? The door opens as Bianca walks in, wearing her work clothes and holding a handbag."Hey, sugar." Bianca calls for me. I give her a small smile as a response. Bianca drops her bag on the floor and sits close

    Naomi's POV" I can't believe him. How could he do this to me?" I muttered to myself the minute I got home. I'm dressed in lazy clothing. Pajamas bottom and Killian's t-shirt that I stole as I sit on my favorite couch opposite the TV, weeping into my palms. I can't get it out of my head. He had an ex who was dead. She took her own life because she lost the second best thing in the world. I can't really understand what she must have gone through, but I knew she felt alone, sad, and betrayed. The man whom she thought loved her, never actually loved her. I can't imagine getting pregnant, even if it's by accident, and then forced to get rid of it. That child might have meant a lot to her even if the father walked out on them. I don't blame Killian, maybe he wasn't ready to be a father and he was thrown off guard the minute Gianna gave him the news. He wasn't ready. The least he could do was support her and be there for her. And the most painful part about this story is the fact that Gian

How on Earth did I live with what I did? This past years I was living my life like nothing happened six years ago. How I could I just assume Anna was gone from my life for good? She did nothing to me. She cared and loved me. She cherished me, but all I did was break her heart, left and abandoned her. And I couldn't stop thinking about what Liam told me. How was I supposed to know Anna was gonna keep the child. That was impossible. I made sure my driver took her to the hospital and get rid of it. When he got back, he told me that Anna had gotten rid of it. He lied?Why would Alvin lie about something like that? Alvin—fuck!" Hey, Goldie." I call the attention of my voice assistant.

    Killian's POVSix Years AgoFashion shows are boring. I've always hated them and I think they're heavily overrated. With my phone in my hand, I go through work emails as I reply to them. The only reason I'm sitting here pretending to enjoy myself is because the host, Terrance Clay, is a client I'm trying to persuade and do business with. He has money and his money is needed in my company. KB TECH just launched a new program and potential clients like Terrance Clay are what I needed to drive my company to the next level. And that is the only reason I'm sitting through this nightmare. When the show comes to an end, Terrance enters the stage to give a speech. I don't listen, I just zoned out on everything. When the show finally comes to an end with everyone preparing to leave, I stand up as quickly as I can as I scurry backstage to have a word with Terrance. I pace the room, already hating the rich fuck for delaying my precious time. I should be in the office sorting through business co

    Killian's POV" Killian, you need to calm down. Liam will be here soon to tell us what's really going on." Raymond says on Monday morning as I pace the floor of my office. Since I got back from Miami, I haven't heard a thing from Lily Sanders. Not even a letter or a message. Nothing. Something tells me she's plotting something dangerous and if I don't do something about it before she strikes again, I don't know what I'm gonna do if something happens to Naomi. Due to her nearly drowning a few weeks ago, I asked her to take a break from work and she shouldn't worry about HR breathing down her neck. She's always stubborn, so she refused. This morning when I saw her, she told me we needed to talk and it was important. She sounded paranoid and I knew sooner or later I had to tell her about Lily Sanders and her pregnancy rumor. I'm fucked, I know. " Nothing is going to happen to Naomi." Raymond says as if he just read my mind. " Are you fucking serious?" I sigh as I stop pacing around t

    Naomi's POV" How are you feeling since you got back?" Antonio asks on Sunday evening as I lay my head on his lap while he runs his fingers through my hair. Killian and I arrived in New York yesterday. I asked him to drive me to my mother's because I didn't feel safe in my own apartment and because Killian hasn't said anything to me about what's really going on. I'm not supposed to be mad at him and maybe I should trust him to tell me when the time is right. But when will the time be right? Is it when I'm dead? Bianca is coming over to my mother's to check on me. I told her I was around this morning so she's coming over. If I'd told her I arrived in New York yesterday, Bianca would have booked an Uber and drove straight to my mother's just to make sure I was safe. She's crazy. Sometimes I wished she was my older sister because she's one of the best things that's ever happened to me. I can literally rely on her. She's more than my best friend. She's more like a sister to me. Bianc
