Will they eventually accept each other, or will they keep drifting away from the feelings they share? And what connection did they share?
View MoreMayeli carefully dried her hair as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. She'd have to hurry if she wanted to meet up with the court case.Killian came to the closet and gave her a peck on the check. He had a towel tied around his waist, while the rest of his body was barely. They had just bathed to get, having a little fun while they were at it. This was the fifth day they had spent together in Mayeli's house and to Mayeli, it was the best she had in years.“You look sexy with your hair wet”, he said, emphasizing on the wet.Mayeli chuckled and pretended not to notice the way her body reacted to his words.“Thank you”, she whispered.“I'll drop Bryelle off at school if that's okay with you”, Killian offered tentatively.“That would be great. I was just thinking about asking Nina to help”.“Alright. I love your dress”. Killian smacked her ass before walking to the end of the closet to get his clothes.Mayeli finished her dressing in silence, kissed Killian and headed for the off
Tyse and Truce sat up, watching Killian with anxious expressions.“How is Dad doing now?”Killian rubbed the back his neck. “He’s better now, though he was badly affected. I don’t know how long he would remain with us”, Killian replied.“Oh my God”, Truce said, standing up.Killian was scared as it was. His father meant the world to him, and he wasn’t sure what his death would do to him. His father was mostly the only family he had left since he and Nixen were not on talking terms anymore.“He’ll be fine, Zed”, Tyse said.Killian sucked in a deep breath, a sad wave washing through him. “The old man wants me married before he dies. He wants four grandchildren”.A flicker of emotion crossed Tyse’s face, one that Killian understood all too well. “Have you proposed yet?” Tyse asked.Killian shook his head. “Not yet, I’m a bit hesitant”.Truce walked Killian’s front. “What are you waiting for, man?”“We just got back together and we’re still working things out. I don’t know if marriage wo
Killian cut up with Mayeli, but she wouldn’t look at him. She just kept walking ahead like he was invisible. Killian cut her hand and spun her to face him. “Talk to me, will you? Are you angry about what I did in the past?”Mayeli glared at him. “I don’t care about whatever that woman said. I care about what you said! How could you speak about a woman so casually? How could you objectify a woman that way?”Killian was stunned. He had thought Mayeli would be angry at him because of the hint Ruby dropped about his dark past, but she was worrying about the woman instead. “You care about Ruby?” Killian asked.“I would care about any woman in her shoes”.“I’m sorry you had to hear that, Mayeli, but that was who I was in the past”.“Don’t apologize to me, apologize to her”.Killian’s eyes widened. “You want me to apologize to Ruby?” “Yes”.“Why would I do that?”“Because you used her”.“We used each other, she was paid handsomely for her services”.Mayeli flinched, and Killian immediatel
Killian watched Mayeli’s face, feeling confused. She looked so scared of what he was about to say that her face was white. Was she suddenly asking him about secrets? Did she have any she had kept from him? Was this really about his invisible friend? Or perhaps was she dropping a hint about his best friends? Had they done something he didn’t know about?Killian looked long and hard at Mayeli’s pale waiting face. “Let’s talk about this some other time, sweetheart”.Killian wasn’t sure what his answer would and he also didn’t want to hurt Mayeli. He didn’t know what his answer would do to her, and he didn’t want to find out.He took her hands, but she retreated. “Please, answer me, Zed”.“What is this really about, Mayeli?” He wanted her to come clean with him, rather than going around in circles. He was sure if he said the wrong thing, she would hold back the truth, but he didn’t want to lie either.“I don’t know”, Killian said, honestly.Mayeli sighed, and ran her hands through her blo
Mayeli watched Killian for a moment as she tried to catch her breath. “You didn't call for days but you missed me?” She asked angrily.Killian's face went serious. It looked like he finally understood his crime.“I'm sorry, I had a lot to do and I was so worried, I forgot about my phone”, Killian said, giving Mayeli an apologetic smile.“You forgot me too”, she mumbled, looking away.“What was that?” “Nothing”.He held her hands and pulled her into his arms. “Of course, I didn’t forget. I thought about you every single free moment I had. “I’m sorry I didn’t reach out, my father’s condition was quite serious and I couldn’t leave his side”.Mayeli looked at him with apprehension. “How is he now”. She had been so angry at him, forgetting the reason he had gone to Paris in the first place. She was just being plane selfish.“He’s good now, don’t worry”.“Thank goodness”. Mayeli let out a sigh of relief.Killian hugged her tighter, placing a soft kiss on her forehead. “I missed you so much
Mayeli packed her black Phantom in front of the tall hotel building. The huge inscription ZR shone brightly in the setting sun.It was 4 pm and instead of going home, she had picked Bryelle up from school, dropped her at her mother’s house, and now she was infront of Killian’s hotel. She couldn’t understand how she found herself there. It was as though her hands had developed a different mind of their own.Mayeli stepped out of her car and tossed her keys to a Valet. She turned and noticed Killian’s black Bugatti Veyron packed in front of the hotel. Men in black suits surrounded the car his bodyguards waiting for him.Mayeli bit her lips, embarrassed. He had said he would come to pick her up, but she had been too impatient and had found her way to his hotel instead. What does he think of her as cheap?She sighed and started to walk to the entrance of the hotel. If she had been too impatient to see him, she better find his room before he came out. That would be less embarrassing.Mayel
Mayeli noticed Killian staring at her for most of the meal, and she tried to act calm and collected, but she could barely keep up.She could taste the food, but she couldn't pass it down her throat. Mayeli was tghankful when he turned his attention to Bryelle and the chatted through out. She ignored Shaila’s constant glance in her direction.When the meal was over, she invited Killian over to a small parlour so they could talk. He watched her closely as she poured him a glass of wine, his face expressionless. It was like he was reading her.“Is something bothering you?” He asked when she sat down.Mayeli sat silent for a while, staring out through the floor to ceiling window at the darkness outside. She had been thinking about it all through dinner and she decided it was time. She wanted to tell Killian the truth. She knew he would be very angry and he might never talk to her again and worst he could want custody over their child, but she didn’t care. It time she faced her sin.“Yes”
Hey”.Killian looked up from the file he had been going through to a guilty-looking Tyse staring at him. He was standing in front of Killian’s office desk.“What do you want?” Killian asked, focusing his attention back on what he was doing.Tyse shifted uncomfortably. “Umm, I wanted to apologize for the other day”.Killian’s grip tightened on the small pen in his hand. He wasn’t angry at Tyse for having feelings for Mayeli, but he wasn’t interested in letting him have his way either.“What are you apologizing for, Cas”, Killian asked.Tyse ran his hands through his hair, his brown eyes remorseful. “Look, I’m not sorry for having feelings for her, okay, and I don’t regret it in any way. I shouldn’t have acted the way I did. I was just frustrated to see her cry so often because of you”.“I’m not happy that she cries because of me either, and I want to minimize that as much as possible. I just hope you won’t meddle in the future”.Tyse sighed. “Fine, I’m sorry. Are we cool now?”“Sure”,
Mayeli felt her heart slamming against her chest as Shaila walked to the door to let Killian in.“I'd leave you alone to talk”, Shaila said when she had let Killian in. Alone!Alone wasn't what Mayeli wanted with Killian at the moment. She couldn't trust herself when she was alone with him.“Hey”, Killian mumbled with a weak smile. He was wearing a well-tailored black Brioni suit, and his black, curly hair was styled to fall slightly down his forehead. He looked so beautiful.“Good morning, Killian”, Mayeli mumbled, staring at her hands. She was feeling very embarrassed as memories of last night flooded her making her cheeks reddened.“You're leaving already?” Killian’s eyes were focused on the packed suitcase on her bed.“Yes”.His Adam apple bulged a little. “Mayeli, I'm sorry about last night. I didn't mean to hurt you. It's just, you were looking so breathtaking in that dress and I was so mad with jealousy and need. I just couldn't stop myself. I know it's not right to make excus
“Fuck!” Mayeli Wess cursed as the hot coffee spilt over her hands, ruining the hand of her black, wool skirt Chanel suit.“Sorry girl”, her best friend, Diora Waters, said, handing her a handkerchief. “Where was your mind?”Diora was a Twenty-Six-year-old, short, chubby, and charming lady. She had been by Mayeli’s side since she relocated to England.Mayeli had fled England when she was just sixteen, after her father's death. Her father had been one the richest and dirtiest politicians in London, and after his death, her mom, elder sister, and she had to flee due to his numerous enemies.Mayeli had only moved back two years ago, a hungry twenty-three-year-old woman who had been prepared to stay.She had worked her ass off, climbing up the corporate ladder until she was one with the elite family—the best of the best.She was now a wonderful, renowned, and influential twenty-five-year-old hot-shot lawyer who could proudly say she had won.Her mind was on the screen of the firm’s coffee ...
