Mayeli increased the volume of Built To Be Bad by Grace Gachot and Alex playing in Truce’s white Bugatti Centodieci. At the moment, she resonated well with the song.

“Who was that we saw on our way out?” Mayeli asked Truce. A professional-looking middle-aged man had walked past them when they were leaving the house.

“His therapist”, Truce replied simply. Killian had a therapist?

Truce threw Mayeli a side glance which she gladly ignored. After a while, he let out a sigh, and turned off the music.

“What?” Mayeli mumbled, feeling exhausted.

“Can I ask why you both are hell bent on denying the intense feeling you have for each other?” Truce asked.

Mayeli looked away. “What feelings?”

“Mayeli”.

“He might not like me. I might like him so much, but he doesn’t feel the same way about”, Mayeli said, letting out a doubt she had long been holding on to.

Truce gave her a look that said “Have you gone crazy?”

“Mayeli, I have never seen Zed look at any woman the way he looks at you. I once thought

    Three daysKillian stared at the glass of water in front of him as he contemplated on his therapist, doctor Ron’s question.“What happened, Killian?” Doctor Ron repeated.Killian sipped his water, before looking up at Doctor Ron. “We had a fight”.“And why does that bother you so much to the point of making you throw a tantrum and have nightmares?”“Fuck, I don't know”.“Do you have feelings for this woman, Mayeli? Only that would explain why you're so hurt about fighting with her”.Killian stared at the huge, golden Rolex wall clock in his study. At the moment, he was willing to accept that what he felt for Mayeli was more than just mere sexual attraction. He liked her, and as much as he hated to admit, he liked her a lot. “I like her”, he replied simply. “But she's with Nixen, and I don't want to hurt him”.Doctor Ron took off his glasses, revealing a pair of dreamy amber eyes. For a man of fifty-one, he had a very strong and athletic body. “I see that makes everything complicated”

What were you saying Bryelle?”“I asked if we could invite Uncle Killian to dinner tonight?” Bryelle repeated.Mayeli choked on the orange juice she had just been about to swallow. “What did you say?”“She asked if Killian could eat dinner with us tonight”, Mayeli's Mom, Elle repeated, scolding Mayeli with her gaze.Mayeli dutifully looked away from her mom. “He can't come for dinner, baby”, Mayeli said to Bryelle.“But he's lonely, Mom”, Bryelle said with a pout.Mayeli gasped in shock. “How do you even know that?”“He told me”, Bryelle replied.She needed to have a conversation with Killian. Why would he go around telling a three-year-old that he was lonely? Besides he had friends so why was he even lonely?“When did you both have this conversation?” Mayeli asked, fuming. She could hear her mother snickering beside her. M

    Mayeli stares at Tyse and gives her an encouraging nod. “Go”.She adjusts her hair and walks through the open door shutting it after her. She was wearing a short green floral skirt, a white sweater, a white Zara purse, and white boots. Her long blonde hair was left to fall back in curly waves and light makeup was applied oh her face.When she entered the room, Killian was nowhere to be found, but the sound of running water in the bathroom informed her that he was in the bathroom.After a few minutes, Killian came out of the bathroom, naked!Okay, he wasn't entirely naked, he was wearing black, baggy Nike joggers, while his smoking-hot upper body was left bare. All these muscles, lovely tattoos, and that dripping wet albs in full view. Mayeli felt like she was going to lose her breath.“Tell me when you're done checking me out”, Killian said, wearing a white shirt over his head.Mayeli cleared her throat, feeling very embarrassed. “I'm not checking you out. I was just staring at somet

    Is this a horror movie or something? When the hard guy finally falls for the girl, and then the villain comes for a strike. But in this case, what would the villain be? A vampire? A monster? Or maybe a Halloween character. Or the villain is unknown.Unknown? The blackmailer? Mayeli let out a small scream. It's been a day since the blackmailer’s deadline, but why would he attack Killian? Oh no! He came for her this time. What?“Oh my gawd”, Mayeli cried. She wasn't even sure of what was going on yet, but she could hear a group of footsteps approaching where she and Killian were standing, in front of his blue Maserati.“Could you please shut up so I can concentrate!” Killian asked, sounding very irritated.“Sure”.The group of thug-like men surrounded them in no time. They all looked like they were out seeking blood.“What do you want?” Killian asked the huge, tattooed man who seemed to be the leader of the park.“Apparently, I want a taste of your blood”, the man said, laughing loudly.

    Killian stared at Mayeli. She barely noticed his stares, her mind seemed to be on something else. His mind displayed pictures of how happy she had been earlier. She had begged him to go on a rollercoaster with her and laughed heartily when he had said he was scared. “What a baby”, she had said, laughing loudly. He had screamed his lungs out throughout the ride though.He had been lost in her beauty, the sound of her voice, her deep-dimpled smile, and god damnit, her amazing body. Those smoking-hot legs and amazing complexion, shown so perfectly, oh gosh—being a gentleman was a herculean task. He felt his groin harden at the thought of her body, and he quickly chastised himself. How could he be having such thoughts when they had just been attacked?She had been nagging him about sending blackmailing text messages, and he had ignored it, simply thinking it was a way to get his attention, but today he knew her story was not all made up.Whoever that blackmailer was, he had almost hurt

    When Mayeli woke up, Killian was sitting on the cream couch in his bed, watching her. He had changed from the clothes he had worn earlier to a white sweater and dark brown shorts. His black curly hair was left to fall on his face. He looked beautiful with his face set into a concentrated mask, and his eyes burning into her's.“Hey”, Mayeli mumbled. She was feeling a bit weak, though she couldn't understand why.Killian stood up from the couch, and came to sit beside her on his bed. He took her hands in his. “How are you feeling?”Mayeli felt her heart palpitate. What was with him being so nice and caring? She was used to his cold and rude nature, but now he was being all soft on her. How could she not fall more for him when he was perfectly pulling at her strings? Mayeli thought, biting her lower lips.“I feel quite weak”, Mayeli replied, still biting on her lips.She saw Killian's pupils dilate. His hold on her hands intensified. “Don't do that”, he warned in a husky voice.“Do wha

    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

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

    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

    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

    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 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
