Kylan I thought that after the events of last night that I would loathe Lisa the moment I laid eyes on her. My company's success was possibly hanging in the balance, my life was potentially at the verge of ruin, and it was all because she had refused to marry me. However, standing before her, I felt no hatred. If anything, seeing her smile calmed me more than I had expected. Her smile was energetic and healing, and each time life came to those exhausted eyes of hers, I felt the need to kiss and bed her until she could walk no more."What's going on with you today? You don't look so well, is everything okay?" Lisa asked the moment she realized I was spacing out, and wasn't smiling like I always did on a regular basis. I couldn't tell her about what had happened, there was absolutely no need for her to know about it, she couldn't help in any way after all.Mustering up a smile, I decided to go with the most cliche lie I could think up on the spot. "I had a hectic night, work took mos
KatarinaI wanted to chase after Jerome, but I decided against that. I could tell something was bothering him, and it wasn't just work.I couldn't really tell what it was, and only then did I realize that I have not really been involved in Jerome's life as much as I thought. The only thing I knew about him at the moment was his name and job, I had no idea how he worked and the other things. He was basically still a mystery to me, and I had no idea how to feel about that. Unlike me Jerome knew almost everything about me. The only thing he didn't know was my real name, and the fact that I was on the run from kylan Anderson. Aside from that, I was basically an open book to him. I rose from where I sat, my appetite already lost. I wanted to know more about him, I wanted to be more involved in his life. If what we had was real, then it was an absolute necessity. I called for the waiter, and settled the bill before leaving the cafe. I was no longer in the mood for anything, the only thin
Kylan The first person I met at the door of my office was Christopher, and like always I could tell he was up to no good. "What are you doing here?" I inquired as I pushed past him and entered my office. I could tell he had arrived minutes ago, and without doubt, he had clearly come to see me. "I heard your company got robbed, came to share my sympathies with you." Christopher replied before settling down on the couch without my permission. He was definitely bold for someone who knew I didn't like him very much. He was pushing his luck consistently, and one of these days I planned on breaking his jaw. "Your sympathy isn't needed here, so you're free to leave." I answered with my finger pointed towards the door. However, Christopher didn't budge, even anything he made himself more comfortable on the leather couch, a maniacal smile playing at the end of his lips. "Let's not get things confused here, Kylan. You may be in charge of this company, but you don't own it, so stop trying t
KatarinaEverything seemed slow, even the hours were crawling, and I couldn't fully concentrate no matter how hard I tried. The fact that I basically knew nothing about Jerome was driving me insane, and there was nothing that I could do about it. I couldn't exactly confront him about it, especially not when I was not even being truthful about myself. "What's on your mind Lisa? Is Mr handsome not coming today?" Ella whispered in my ear, jolting me back to reality. It was impossible to have a moment to myself while she was still around. It was annoying, but I loved it that way. Ella knew how to distract me from the thoughts that threatened to consume me.Looking at her now, I felt that it was probably best to have her opinion on what I should do next. I didn't like making my matters public, but this once I'd make an exception for Ella. "I don't think he's coming today." I answered before mustering up a little sad smile. "That's sad, I haven't seen him in a while, you two have really
KylanI left the office after completing the day's task. I was exhausted, hungry, and above all, angry. Everything was going downhill and I just couldn't get a grasp of anything at the moment. I wasn't in control of my own life at the moment, and it was slowly driving me insane. "You're leaving so soon? Won't you wait for the police to arrive with today's report." Cole asked, and my frustration only grew at the sound of his questions. "No, I'll leave you to handle that." I replied with a dismissive wave. I was already getting a migraine from thinking about everything that was happening. The last thing I wanted now was to wait an hour only to receive news that nothing had been done to apprehend the culprits. Hearing another bad news would definitely drive me off the edge, and I had no plans of losing myself in public. "Are you okay man? You don't look so good." Cole asked, his voice laced with concern and curiosity. I managed a smile before replying. "I'm fine, just stressed from t
KatarinaHis blade stopped millimeters away from my face, and it was all thanks to the call that came on his phone. Even though I had already accepted my fate, having a blade tear through my skin would still hurt as hell, and I was genuinely happy that he had been interrupted. Unlike before, the man before me had softened the very second he picked up the call. Although I couldn't make out a word that was being said, I was certain that he was being scolded. Thanks to the thousands of times I'd been slapped, my hearing was almost gone. My ear drums were at the verge of being torn apart, so I couldn't even eavesdrop on the conversation even if I wanted to.Five minutes later, he returned to face me, his face even more threatening than ever. He seemed even angrier than before, but for some reason he was untying me. Forcefully, he pushed me out of the chair that had been tied to, and immediately tossed a couple of dollar notes on my numb body. "Get up and get lost bitch." He screamed bef
KylanI returned to the hospital only to see Lisa awake, and Ella hugging her a little bit tighter than usual. She had been unconscious for two straight days, and seeing her awake brought some relief to my worrisome mind. I walked in slowly to not interrupt the two ladies before me, but Lisa was sharp and had caught me sneaking in without even trying. "Jerome!" She called out in excitement. Her eyes watered at the sight of me, and before long, tears were strolling down her cheeks. She wasn't sad or in pain, she was happy, and seeing her smile with tears in my eyes made my heart tingle in a manner I couldn't exactly describe."Thank you for everything, thank you so much.." Lisa cried as I walked closer to her side. With a sad smile, I took her soft hands into mine and gave it a gentle squeeze."There's no need to cry and thank me, Lisa, I'll always do my best to protect you." I whispered to her softly while my hands caressed hers for comfort. "How are you feeling?" I asked after she
Lisa It had been on my mind ever since the very second Jerome's car appeared on the road. How had he found me? Was he some sort of psychic? My curiosity was above the roof, and I needed answers to quench it. He was always around somewhere to save me, it was becoming scary, and while I was grateful for him, I still wanted answers. "I was driving back to the city, we met by complete coincidence." He answered sharply. "There's not exactly anything special this time around, and stop thinking I'm a hero already." I smiled at his last words, he had read my mind, and once again I had turned red like a cherry. I needed to learn how to control my emotions around Jerome. My feelings were always all over the place when he was around, and it was embarrassing to say the least. "Thank you for everything, Jerome." I said for the umpteenth time. I could tell Jerome was already tired of hearing me say thank you every two minutes, but I just couldn't help myself. He was a good man, and I just
