last update Last Updated: 2025-02-12 07:20:57

Killian stared at Mayeli's shocked expression, fighting the urge to laugh.

“Is this funny?” Mayeli asked, rolling her eyes.

Killian ran his hands through his hair. “I kind of remember, but not everything. I remember the first time we met. My Mom introduced us.”

Mayeli smiled, showing off her deep dimples and glowing green eyes. “You asked me out on that day,” she said.

“I always knew you'd be the one, now here we are”.

Mayeli narrowed her eyes. “What does that even mean, Zed?”

Killian kept quiet for a while. He had been doing a lot of thinking, and he had made his decision. Yes, things were bond to go wrong, but he was ready to give being happy with Mayeli a shot. Life was full of choices, after all, it all depended on which one we were willing to choose.

Killian stood up from his sea and came to stand behind Mayeli. He bent down and slipped the silver necklace around her neck.

“I mean we could give this relationship thing”, he mumbled, placing a kiss on Mayeli’s neck.

    Mayeli walked into the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, Glasgow, with a smile. She took a deep breath as she stared at the familiar environment. She had been there two years ago when she found out she was pregnant with Bryelle. At first, she had been disoriented and seeking an abortion, until she met Doctor Nathan, a young, extremely handsome gynaecologist who was only two years older than her.Nathan had kindly convinced her against an abortion and ran her through every step of her pregnancy. It had been obvious he had a crush on her back then, but he was with someone, so nothing went on between them.“Hey, Mayeli, good to see you after such a long time. How have you been?” Doctor Janet, Nathan’s assistant, screamed.She was standing at the reception table, probably talking to the receptionist, before Mayeli walked in.Janet was a tall, chubby woman with genuine warmth overflowing from her. She had treated Mayeli like a younger sister, rather than a client. Janet hadn't changed

    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

    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

    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

    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 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.

    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 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

    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

    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
