The Chemistry Chapter Fifty-six: Why else do you think I care?
Mayeli followed Killian, wordless. She felt her heart beating wildly. Had she just confessed led to her feelings for Killian? That had never been the plan. How did she let those words slip? She was very embarrassed.When they entered his room, Killian shut the door behind him. Mayeli wondered why he had dragged her up here.He turned to her. “Mayeli I'm sorry you saw that message from Laura, and I'm sorry I was a dick about it instead of apologizing. Now I understand how you must have felt”.Was Killian apologizing to her? Mayeli was shocked. What did he mean by he understood how he had felt? “It doesn't matter”, Mayeli mumbled.“It does”.“It's fine”.Killian ran his hands through his hair and paced the room for a while like he had something bothering him.“Is something wrong?” Mayeli asked.“It's just, I—”.Mayeli cut him short. “Is it about what I said earlier about me liking you? You don't have to think about it. Of course you have to think of Nixen, and you once said you weren't

Mayeli dropped the bag she was holding and went to sit on Killian's bed. “Why?” She asked.She knew he had already told her didn't want her because of Nixen, but she still wanted to know why he didn't want a relationship. “I'm a very busy multi-billionaire. I don't have time for love or women, in fact, I see it as a waste of time”, Killian replied coldly.“But you date other women, Laura -”Killian cut her off. “Laura is not my girlfriend. And yes, I have mistresses to satisfy my needs, but it's all physical”.“Are you scared, Zed? Of love?”Killian ran his hands through his hair. “Maybe a little. I'm also scared it would end up like what I had with Emma. I don't want to hurt anyone else”.“So it's all about sex to you?” Mayeli asked. Had it been all about the sex to him? She was here loving him, while he only thought of her body.Killian took a step forward. “It was all about the sex, until I met you, Mayeli. With you everything changed, I felt this pull, this connection I've never

“You did what?” Nicole screamed excitedly, clapping her hands together.Mayeli glared at her best friend. “Can you keep it down?” Mayeli asked in a hushed tone.“Sorry”, Nicole mumbled, sipping her fruit juice.They were in Mayeli's office, and Mayeli was just telling Nicole about last night with Killian. Thankfully, Kreed was having lunch with the rest of the company lawyers so the conversation wasn't uncomfortable.“I confessed my feelings to him, and now I feel like an idiot. How can I face him again?” Mayeli lamented to her best friend.“What did he say?” Nicole asked, still sipping her juice.Nicole was dressed in a sleeveless cream jumpsuit that hugged her perfect curves and revealed a little too much cleavage. On her legs, which were currently placed on Mayeli's office desk was a pair of black Zara heels, and her black hair was tied back, showing off her cute face.“He said he doesn't want a relationship”.“Did he now?” Nicole asked, adjusting on Mayeli's office chair. The look

Killian stared at Nixen with a perplexed expression.They were in Killian's house having dinner. Tyse and Truce were away on a business trip, so they were alone.“Why did you do it, Nixen?” Killian repeated, studying Nixen.Nixen was silent for a while, his eyes concentrated on the glass of Chateau Margaux in his hands.“Nixen!” Killian called angrily.“Because I wanted her for myself and longed for her so much, but her heart was set on only you”, Nixen replied quietly.“What do you mean?”“You know what I mean, brother”.“We broke up, Zed, she broke up with me two weeks ago”. Nixen's eyes were still focused on the wine in his hands, but his voice was tear-filled.“How has your breakup got to do with me?”“Don't play me for a fool, Killian. What was Mayeli doing in your fucken bed?”Killian gulped. Mayeli had told Nixen? What was her plan? He had been wanting to tell his brother for a while now, but he had not dared to.“I'm sorry, Nixen, I, it's just, I met her two years ago at the M

Mayeli tossed a couple of Snickers chocolate bars into her shopping cart. Her eyes strayed to the pregnancy test strip on the shelf ahead of her, and she quickly looked away, trying her best to steady her racing heartbeat.It had been almost two weeks since she had laid with Killian, two weeks since she had broken up with Nixen, and a week since she realized her flow was late.She had been pushing away the dreadful thought that she was with a child. It scared the hell out of her. He had spilt inside her the last time they made love, and she had been so careless to forget to take a pill afterwards. What had she been thinking?She was certain Killian was the father of her child since she had never slept with Nixen and Killian was the only man she had been intimate with in years.Mayeli bit on her perfectly manicured nails as she considered whether or not to pick up a pregnancy test strip. She had been putting off that decision for a while now, out of fear of the unknown. What if it came

Mayeli ignored Killian and ran back to the bathroom, loud sobs escaping from their chest as locked the door. She ignored the loud banging on the door, her head throbbing.“Mayeli please can we talk?” Killian's deep, velvet voice asked.“Go away!” Mayeli cried.“How can I?” Killian's voice was soft, and pleading.Mayeli sighed. He was doing it again–pulling at her heart strings. Now he cared about her. He had ignored her and barely talked to her for the past two weeks, now he was acting like he cared.He had barged into her house not because he missed her, or he cared about her, but because he was angry. “Mayeli, please come out, let's talk about this”. Killian knocked on the door again.“There's nothing to talk about”.“Mayeli, baby please”.Mayeli ran her hands through her blonde hair. Killian made her feel crazy. She had never met anyone like him. He was honest, kind, and humble, and it was obvious he cared about her.It was obvious he cared about he since he tried to make her hap

Resolved?Mayeli rushed to Killian's side, screaming for her maid, Nina.Nina came rushing in. They helped Killian to the bed, and Mayeli quickly called her doctor while Nina went to fetch a bowl of water, since his body was blazing hot. From the look of things, he had a fever.Mayeli bit on her lips feeling very guilty. Had he been sick when he rushed to her house asking about the past? Perhaps, she should have told him the truth. He deserved to know, and it made no sense that she had kept it away from him. She had kept so many things from Killian, and it wasn't fair.It was better if she came clean with him. Whatever Nixen had told him must have made him very angry and she had to clarify things.Nina opened the door and came running in with the water and towel. Mayeli took it from her and proceeded to remove Killian's shirt.She pushed his shirt slowly over his belly and froze when her hands grazed his hot skin, and her eyes came in contact with his six packs.“Why did he have to b

Mayeli glanced over at her bed again, and let out an angry sigh. She stared at her Rolex wall clock, it was 8 pm, and Killian was still talking to Bryelle instead of being on his way home. They had been talking for almost an hour about whatever it was. Mayeli couldn't understand.She was slightly jealous and angry that she had been left out. She dabbed her head with her hands. It was probably the pregnancy that was making her emotional. The dump pregnancy!She glared at Killian as he whispered in their daughter's ear, making her laugh. Mayeli wondered how they had grown so close without trying. Bryelle and Killian. Perhaps blood was indeed thicker than water.“You should get going, it's getting quite late”, Mayeli said to Killian.Killian threw Mayeli a glance, his expression showing irritation like she had interrupted something very important.“I'm still talking with my little friend over here. Maybe I might stay, and see the doctor, and catch a little rest too. I feel exhausted”, Ki

The Chemistry Chapter Eighty-Two
Jayden’s POVI picked up the book on her reading desk “Passions of Emma”, as I waited for her to change. I smiled. I didn't know she was the book type. Jovita and I were more alike than I thought.When she finally stepped out, my eyes scanned her body, while she blushed. Fuck, I could never get enough of her.“Let's go”, she said, leading the way.I laughed, grabbing her slim waist and pulling her to me. I scooped her into my arms, surprising both her and myself. I could barely think straight when it came to her. I couldn't remember ever loving anyone this way.She kept protesting, but I ignored her, and only put her down when we reached the kitchen.“So what are you making?” I asked, already missing the feel of her soft body on my arms.“Patience Jayden, you can have her all night”, I chastised myself.“Chicken stir fry and meatloaf. It's quite late so I'm not making much”, she replied, taking out a pan. I still couldn't believe she could cook and I was kinda looking forward to tast
The Chemistry Chapter Eighty-One: Reality?
Mayeli rolled her eyes before she picked up her sister's call. Shaila had been calling her nonstop. Who gave a person six calls at just 6 am?“Hello?” Mayeli said into the mouthpiece, carefully rolling out of her bed to avoid waking Bryelle up. She walked to her bedroom balcony. The gush of wind that hit her instantly took away any ounce of sleep she still felt.“Have you seen the headlines?” Shaila screamed. Mayeli's eyes narrowed. Her sister was mostly always dramatic, but this was quite extreme.“What is in the headlines?” Mayeli asked, strolling to the bedside table to pick up her laptop.She drew aside her curtains, letting warm sun-ray bath her room through the floor-to-ceiling windows.“I don't think it's something I can tell you over the phone”. It was Shaila's way. Make her curious, then leave her hanging.With a sigh, Mayeli opened her MacBook Pro. She went to her browser, and typed the words “Killian Reon”.Before she clicked on the enter button, she decided to make a cup
The Chemistry Chapter Eighty: Are you sure Killian?
Mayeli sat behind after Tyse had left her, chatting with some of her colleagues at work who had been invited to the party. She had been surprised to see them, but she was glad. They had helped her get her mind off Killian.“Can I talk to you for a second?” A familiar voice asked Mayeli. Nixen.Mayeli was a bit surprised. She hadn't seen Nixen in a while. She didn't know he was invited to the party. Of course, he would have been invited. He was Killian's brother after all.Mayeli managed a smile, before she excused herself from her group, and followed Nixen.They stopped by a less crowded spot.“It's been a while, Nixen”, Mayeli said.Mayeli ran his hands through his now curly hair, and the curls fell back on his forehead. He was dressed in a black Brioni suit with a white shirt inside. The first three buttons of his shirt were left open, revealing his well-built hairy chest. Mayeli took in Nixen’s new hairstyle with a smile. He was trying to look like Killian.“Mayeli, I have missed
The Chemistry Chapter Seventy-Nine: The party
Mayeli's heartbeat was racing heartbeats she watched Killian lower his lips to hers. Their lips were an inch apart when the twisting of the bathroom door handle interrupted them.Mayeli quickly pushed Killian away and adjusted her hair. She turned to see Killian standing with a confused expression.“He shouldn't be here, it's the ladies' room. How would you explain when the headline carries it tomorrow? He's Killian Reon after all”, Mayeli's inner voice whispered. For once, she agreed perfectly with that voice.Quickly, she pulled Killian and shoved him into one of the restrooms. Then she took out her phone, and leaned on the restroom door, pretending to be busy chatting.“Hi”, the middle-aged woman who walked in said with a smile. She was plus-sized, and her black V-neck gown could barely contain her shape.“Hey”, Mayeli replied, managing a smile.“Are you waiting for someone?” The lady inquired.“No”, Mayeli answered curtly, hoping she'd do her thing and go away quickly. Mayeli hear
The Chemistry Chapter Seventy-Eight
Mayeli stared at the rolls of cars parked in front of Killian's house as Nathan eased his black Phantom into one of the very few parking spaces available. The parking area was filled with several expensive-looking cars. From the look of things, there was a high turnout for Tyse's party.Mayeli wasn't surprised. Tyse was a young, renowned, and very handsome multi-billionaire. He'd have a lot of friends. Besides, he was Killian Reon’s best friend. That added to the popularity.When Nathan killed the engine, Mayeli hurriedly opened her car door and stepped out, walking towards the entrance of Killian's house without waiting for her two companions. She wearing the dress Killian had bought her and she was about to walk into his house. She didn't want to walk in with Nathan by her side or worse, holding hands with him. Killian was already angry at her, she didn't want to add to it.“Don't an in such, Mayeli. I know you can't wait to see Killian, but you don't have to leave us behind”, Nico

Killian clasped his Samsung Galaxy Z Fold tightly, resisting the urge to call her. He had been doing that for a while now. Mayeli was messing with his head. First she liked him, now he liked her, she wasn't interested in him. It didn't make sense. And now they were other guys? Huff, what was he going to do?“You said you wouldn't contact her first”, Tyse said, lying on Killian's bed. “I love your room, Zed”.Killian ran his hands through his hair, letting out a frustrated sigh. “I don't know what to do, Cas”.“I'm sorry you got rejected, but I think you should let her be”.“She said she needed time to think. I didn't get rejected”.Tyse chuckled, sitting up. “That's also a way of saying I'm not interested”.Killian’s already depressed mood dampened more. Why would Mayeli reject him? They spent quality time together, and she had been happy, so what was her reason?“Perhaps she likes the Nathan dude. Didn't you say they were so close?” Tyse asked.Killian’s head throbbed at the memory.

Mayeli stared at the glass of cocktail in front of her. It was Friday, and she and Nicole were hanging out at their favourite garden spot. She had been badly craving a cocktail, so Nicole allowed her just a glass and nothing more.“You should eat your food, Mayeli, it's delicious. Especially the crabs”, Nicole said with a chuckle.“I just want another glass of cocktail”, Mayeli mumbled, giving Nicole a pout.Nicole rolled her eyes. “You can keep staring at the food then”.“As you wish”.“Mayeli, you should eat your food right now!"“Fine. Why are you so scared?” Mayeli grumbled, taking a bite of her sandwich.They were silent for a while, and Nicole tapped consistently on her screen, laughing silently. “Who's that?” Mayeli asked.“Nobody”.Mayeli adjusted the loose strands of hair that were flapping over her face. The day was quite windy. “You should stop laughing aloud then, you're only making me curious”.“Whatever”, Nicole mumbled absent-mindedly.Mayeli’s phone beeped, and she pi

Mayeli wiped away the tears falling down her cheeks, they just wouldn't stop coming. “Mayeli, what's wrong?” Killian asked for the umpteenth time. He looked like a mother hen unsure of how to take care of its chicks. He was driving her to her house.Mayeli looked away, wondering whether to tell him. He would be so angry. He would yell, and he'd probably not want to see her face ever again.Killian pulled into her driveway, killed the engine, and came over to open her door for her.“Hey come, let's get you inside”, he mumbled, taking her hands.He led her to the kitchen, sat her on a stool and proceeded to the fridge. He took a bottle of water and poured her a glass, giving it to her. His face still had the anxious look, and it was funny because she had never seen Killian anxious.He cupped her cheeks in his hands. “Are you feeling better?” He asked.Mayeli nodded, staring at the glass of water, and building the courage to open up to him.“Good”, Killian mumbled, then dipped his head

Nathan rubbed Mayeli's belly gently, watching the scan.“How do you feel?” He asked Mayeli.“It's a bit cold, but I feel fine”, Mayeli replied.Killian took Mayeli's hands. “I didn't know doctors were this interactive with their patients”, he mumbled.What was wrong with him? Mayeli thought with a chuckle.“You've been complaining nonstop Mr Reon, I think you might as well take over my role”, Nathan fired back.The two men had been arguing consistently for a while now. “Well, I guess you're better at the job”, Killian replied, looking away.“At least you know that”, Nathan grumbled.“What have we got? Is it a boy or a girl?” Mayeli asked, interrupting the argument.Nathan turned to her with a teasing smile that showed off his dimple. “What do you think?” He asked, rubbing her hair lightly.“Now you would make me guess?” Mayeli asked laughing. It had been so long since she saw Nathan, and she had forgotten how playful he was. He always seemed to make a situation lighter no matter how
