Playing “Let Me Down Slowly by Alec Benjamin” in the background.Mayeli pulled away from Nathan’s embrace feeling very guilty. She thought of following Killian but decided against it. They were broken up, whoever it was she was with was no longer his business.“Mayeli”, Sophie called, walking towards them. “I just saw him”. Mayeli had forbidden Killian’s name from being mentioned to her. Every time it was mentioned, it deepened the hole in her chest and knocked her out of her breath.“Him?” Diora asked, looking surprised.“I saw him too”, Mayeli said to her sister, fighting back tears.“Come with me, Tyse has planned something nice for you. A small lunch to congratulate you on your win’, Sophie said, puling Mayeli with her. “Hi Nathan, it has been forever”.“Hi Sophie”, Diora said, probably surprised that Sophie didn’t acknowledge her presence. Mayeli was surprised too.“Diora, darling, it's good to see you”, Sophie said with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes.“Is something wrong?”

Mayeli heard footsteps behind her, and she turned to see Tyse and then Truce.“Looks like I dragged out the whole house”, Mayeli mumbled, going ahead to book a ride. She had come in Sophie's car, so she had no choice.“Mayeli, I'm sorry, I didn't know you'd be this upset to see Killian”, Castie said, running his hands through his hair.“It was my idea, Mayeli, so please don't be mad at Zed and Cas”, Truce said.“I'm not mad at anyone. I just want to get out of here”.“Mayeli, do you hate him so much?” Truce asked, looking slightly angry.“I don't hate him”.“Then why are you doing this? Killian is crumbling within. He is a ghost of himself, and it's just too painful to watch. Killian has never loved any woman the way he loves you, Mayeli, you mean the world to him. Won't you give him another chance?” Tyse asked, his voice sounding broken.“You shouldn't bore her with stories like that”, Killian’s cold voice said, startling them.“I think I should leave now”, Mayeli mumbled.“Stay, it

Good morning Miss Mayeli”, Killian’s maid, Justina, greeted Mayeli as she entered the dining room.As you might have guessed, it's the weekend already, and they were on the first day of their Staycation.Mayeli looked around Killian’s vacation house for the eighteenth time. It was more than gorgeous.The house was a huge three-story building, mostly made of transparent glass and painted sparkling white. Its environment was serene, surrounded by colourful flowers and lush green grass. There was also a pool on the first and second floors.“Good morning, where are the others?” Mayeli replied, taking a seat. The large table was filled with delicious-looking cuisine.“They're still in their rooms”, Justina replied.“Alright”, Mayeli said, grabbing a plate. She started to put a piece of cheesecake on the plate when she heard footsteps. She turned to see Killian.He froze just like her, when he noticed her presence.“I didn't know you were going to be here. I came in late last night, and Ty

Mayeli sat under the Canopy watching the others swim. She was feeling weird and slightly irritated. Not angry, just mostly empty.She watched Killian saying something to Truce and Tyse, and then laughing loudly. It had been so long since she saw him that way. She couldn't take her eyes off him. KillianHe turned to her, and their gaze locked. She quickly looked away, ignoring the sudden acceleration of her heartbeat.Why was he staring?“You should come into the water, Mayeli, it's so cool”, Tyse screamed, laughing.“I'm good”, Mayeli said, tapping on her phone, and pretending to be busy. Killian was still staring, though the smile was no longer on his face.Killian walked out of the pool, and went to seat on one of the benches. Mayeli saw Justina running to give him a towel. She was a beautiful, thick woman, probably Mayeli's age. Justina attempted to dab Killian's body with the towel, but he snatched it from her. Mayeli couldn't hear what she was saying to Killian, but looked like

There was a pin-drop silence in the meeting room as though there was no one present, though fifteen people were seated in a circle, a large table in their middle.Killian sat at the head of the table listening to the speech of his chief operating officer, a man in his late forties. He squeezed the pen in his hands, his irritation growing with each passing second.There was a two-foot gap between Killian and the others in the room, like he was infected with some transmittable infection, but that was simply how he liked it. He was a lonely person, and he mostly never thought about it or needed anyone but his friends, until he met Mayeli. And now she had tossed him away, and left him to wallow in regret without even seeing it fit to tell him her reason.Although Killian exuded a fearful aura, the females in the boardroom kept stealing glances. He was wearing a sky blue shirt rolled up at the sleeves. The first two buttons of his shirt were left undone, revealing the tattoo on his chest.

Tyse eased his brilliant black Rolls-Royce inside the parking lot of Killian's vacation house. Soft music could be heard coming from inside the house.“I guess your party has started without you”, Killian said to Tyse dryly.Tyse smirked. “You're coming, right?”“Count me out on this one”. Killian opened the car door, and stepped out. He was in no mood for a party. His anger had dissipated, but he wanted to be alone, locked and secured from all the chaos going on in his mind at the moment.He walked past the crowded sitting room filled with people he barely cared about, and headed for the stairs. He was on the sixth stairs when he perceived her fragrance before he saw her.Mayeli. She was dressed in a long, white, body-hugged, strapless gown that did nothing to hide her alluring curves. Her blonde hair was parted in the middle and left to fall down her waist, and the slit of her gown stopped way above her thighs. It was too revealing for his liking. On her feet was a pair of silver he

Mayeli made her way up the stairs, her heels making click clack sounds on the polished floor, and her hips swaying gracefully with each step.She hadn't been to his room since they came to the vacation house, two days ago, and she was curious to see what it looked like.It was on the third floor, away from every other person's room, since they had all taken the second floor, only Killian lived on the third floor. Back at his normal house, he was the only one who lived on the third floor too, perhaps he loved being alone.Mayeli climbed the stairs leading to the third floor, and she was stunned. It was as though the third floor was a different house entirely. In contrast to the bright white color of the first two floors, the third floor was monochrome, black and white. Several lovely paintings hung on the wall, and Mayeli paused each time to run her hands over them. She didn't know Killian loved art. There was a lot she didn't know about him yet.His hall was so quiet that she heard t

Playing Fire on Fire by Sam Smith in the background.Killian stared down at Mayeli's delicate frame, not knowing what to do. She wanted sex now from him because she was drunk, but he was certain she would hate him afterwards. He had no intention of taking advantage of her.“Mayeli, please you should sleep”, Killian mumbled through his teeth. Her body was already such an appealing site, that he wasn't sure if he could restrain himself if she kept up with the act. Gosh, she was so damn irresponsible.Mayeli's face crumbled into a pout. “You don't want me? Am I unattractive now? You've lost interest in me?” Killian shut his eyes, trying his best not to let her words get to his head. “Mayeli, everything about you is turning me on right now, but I don't think this is right”.“Fine, I shouldn't have come in the first place”, Mayeli said, standing up from the bed. She was almost at the door when his strong hands gripped her waist. He spun her to face him.“Where are you going?” He asked him

Kreed laughed and stood up. He picked up the baseball bat he had been holding and threw it to Tyse.“Beat Killian to death with it, and I’d let you live. You did nothing to offend me, did you?”Mayeli’s eyes widened.“What?” Tyse asked.“You know it’s either you or him, right? Or mostly both. So why don’t you save yourself?”Mayeli thought of what to do to buy time. Of course, no one was coming to save them, since Kreed said he had taken care of the police, but she had no other option. She couldn’t watch what was about to happen. She’d rather die first.“Kreed, when did you become this evil? There’s still a way out of this, you don’t have to commit more murders.”Kreed laughed for a long time, and when he stopped, he faced Mayeli. “The day your father burnt down my family, he created an unrepentant monster. I only trained the monster. First I worked with the CIA, then with the FBI, then as a special intelligence security agent, and when I was convinced I had learnt everything I wanted

Mayeli and Killian turned to see Kreed standing a few feet from them. He was wearing the same outfit he had been wearing this morning before she had left him. Black turtle-neck top, black trousers, black boots and a dark brown long coat.But this time there was something different. He was wearing black gloves. But that wasn’t it. What was he doing here? How did he know she was here? She told no one.Kreed took a step forward, and Killian immediately reached for his pocket.Kreed was faster. “Let me borrow your words. I won’t dare if I were in your shoes because I’ll shoot you down without hesitation. Now rid yourself of your weapons and don’t try to play smart.”Killian did as he was told.Mayeli couldn’t believe her ears. This was Kreed, right? Or did he have a twin? Or perhaps was this a replica of him? Or cloning? She didn’t understand. Why was Kreed pointing a gun at them?“Kreed. What’s happening? I don’t understand.” But Mayeli was beginning to understand. She recognized the loo

“You should drive faster!” Killian barked at Tyse.“At this rate, we’d probably die in an accident before we get to her,” Truce screamed.Killian turned to him. “Do you deserve to live?”Truce shook his head. “No. Tyse, drive faster!”He was still mad at his friends for abandoning Mayeli when he was away for the stupid reasons they gave. He had trusted them to take care of her while he was away, but they had done just the opposite. They had begged and apologized severally, but he wasn’t forgiving them yet. He’d make them work for their forgiveness, and so far, they’ve been doing just that.“Maybe you should take the wheel!” Tyse barked at Truce. “I’ll drive faster, Killian,” he replied, Killian with a smile.“If that bitch, Shaila so much as touch my woman, I won’t hesitate to strangle her with my hands”, Killian said through his teeth.How could he have missed the signs?He had known Shaila wasn’t the sister she pretended to be, and he had known she was still obsessed, but he didn’t

“I don’t understand,” Mayeli said, carefully. Shaila was getting drunk, and Mayeli feared what she would do to her. At the moment, she wasn’t the woman Mayeli had known all her life, she was a wounded animal seeking blood.“I met Killian in our second grade. He was two levels higher than me, so we never really talked. Everyone loved him, everyone wanted him, and I wanted him more than any of them. And one day, I went home after school and he was with his parents in our house. Father had introduced them as his friends and ours, and had told us they were going to have dinner with us.I still remembered how overjoyed I had been that day. I had asked my maid, Nisha, to make me the prettiest little girl ever, and during dinner, I did everything to get Killian’s attention, but he didn’t care. He didn’t even notice my hair or dress or anything, but I didn’t give up. After dinner, he talked to me, he told me my dress was pretty and he liked my tiara. I was so overjoyed that I couldn’t sleep t

Mayeli typed Killian’s office floor number on the elevator keypad, 67.She could hardly wait as the box took her upwards. She hadn't met Killian since that day at the mall and she couldn't wait to see him. Her heart was racing already, and she could feel a hunger in her lower belly, a hunger he had awakened.The elevator stopped and the doors slid open. Mayeli stepped out eagerly, heading for the last building on the floor. When she reached, she rang Killian’s office doorbell. No one answered. She rang it again, but nothing. Thankfully, she knew the key pass.“I'm coming in,” she said, and pushed the door open. Surprisingly, the office was empty.The office was just the way Mayeli remembered, the same. White high walls, one glass wall showing off the breathtaking view of the City of London, a large oak table and a chair behind it and two in front. A mini-parlour of four black cushions and a white table, and lastly a glass shelf holding Killian's books, magazines, trophies, and aw

Mayeli braided the last strand of her sister’s hair slowly, listening to Bryelle’s tale of her latest BTS crush, Jungkook, and laughing. Her daughter was crushing on celebrities already.“I have a shoot with V soon, he might not be your favourite, but you should come,” Shaila said.Bryelle shook her head. “I want just him, no one else.”Shaila laughed. “Suit yourself.” She turned to Mayeli. “Be fast would braids, babe, I need to be somewhere soon.”Shaila had been going out more frequently recently, and she never said where she was going, no matter how many times Mayeli asked. Mayeli decided to let her be. She would come around when she wanted to.The doorbell rang, and Bryelle went to get it. She returned a few minutes later.“Mom, it’s Kreed.” She walked past them into her room. Shaila turned to Mayeli with a stupid smile on her face. “Your husband is calling.”Mayeli frowned, tossing her hair behind her. “His not my husband, stop with the joke.”Shaila laughed. “I have somewhere t

Killian covers the distance between him and Mayeli. She looked so flawless, so beauty more than he had remembered. Just a glimpse of her took his breath away, just a glimpse of her rose his hunger so intense that he hardly had control over it.He covered her slim waist with his arms and took in a breath of her.“Killian?” She called, her voice shocked. “Is this real? Am I hallucinating? How’s this even possible?”She started to check his body. “Are you real? Are you hurt or burnt?” Tears were already flowing down her pale cheeks again. “How’s this possible. Am I losing it?”Killian knew she had too many questions, but he couldn’t explain, not yet. He was here to warn her and he didn’t have much time.He turned her to face him and almost regretted it when his eyes fell on her fleshy, exposed, full and ready for him. He shook his head; just being near her drove him crazy, and it had been so long. He had watched from a distance and longed for her, but it wasn’t yet time. He had to think

“You should be careful,” Kreed said, helping Mayeli out of the car.Mayeli chuckled. “I’m careful as I am. You’re the unnecessarily worried one.”He had been fusing over her for months now since she got out of bed. She was fine now, but he won’t leave her. He was always by her side, and sometimes she wondered when he had time for himself.Bryelle came to Mayeli’s side. She pecked her. “I’ll see you later Mom, my friends are waiting.” She ran off before Mayeli could say a word.They were meant to eat dinner together after shopping for clothes, but she had come up with excuses that she had to meet up with her friends.“She’s growing up so fast,” Kreed said, laughing.Mayeli turned to him. Today was his girlfriend’s birthday, but he had been with her all day. “Aren’t you going to meet Sonia?”The smile faded from Kreed’s handsome face. “We met before I came by this morning.”Mayeli sighed. She knew Kreed had feelings for her, but she had no way to confront them. She wasn’t interested in

Mayeli slowly opened her heavy eyelids and tried to understand her environment. The smell of anthesptic filled her nostrils and her lungs burned. Her throbbed and her body felt as stiff as a log of wood.She tried turning, but her body had a mind of its own. The bright light streaming from the windows blinded her weak vision. She recognized the room after a while, it was her room, but why was she strapped to a bed, and why were there several equipment attached to her body?She couldn’t move or think; her whole body throbbed.The door opened and a familiar face walked in. She looked older, though. Mayeli tried to remember and slowly, her memory returned.Bryelle, her daughter.She tried to call her name, but her voice came out as a low whisper; even that effort was painful. Bryelle rushed to her side. She was wearing a short black skirt and a pink jacket. Her was packed in a high bun. She looked different, dazzling, and all grown up, not the little girl Mayeli had known.“Mom, you’re
