last update Last Updated: 2025-02-06 12:44:06

“Get that thing away from me”, Killian said through his teeth, glaring at Tyse and the small white Teddy in his hands.

Tyse gave him a pouty face. “You're hurting his feelings, Killian”, he said. By his feelings, Tyse meant the teddy's feelings. Trust Tyse to make everything a joke. He was a very jovial person.

But Killian wasn't feeling very jovial at the moment. They had interrupted his reunion with Mayeli when she had been fucken dressed that way. Sometimes he hated his friends.

Killian's eyes drifted to the edge of the bed, and they caught Mayeli's pink furry slippers. Just as he thought of standing up and reaching for it, Truce beat him to it, and picked them up.

“What are these doing here?” Truce asked, observing the slippers.

Truce had been setting out the food they had brought for him. How in the fucken world had the slippers suddenly caught his attention?

“They're Bryelle's, she was here a few minutes ago”, Killian lied feebly.

“Hmm”, Truce said, sharing a mischievous look wi

    Killian, meet Mayeli, and Mayeli, this Killian”, Raina, Killian's mother said to a six-year-old Killian and a three-year-old Mayeli.“Nice to meet you, Zed”, Mayeli said, adjusting her long, full blonde hair. She was very pretty, Killian noticed, but she was also shy, or so he thought since she barely looked at him.“Same here, Mayeli”, Killian said.“I'd leave you both now”, Raina said, walking away.“Is Mayeli your only name?” Killian asked.Mayeli shook her head. “My dad sometimes calls me Kaeli. It's my middle name”.“Kaeli”. Killian tested the name on his lips. “I love it, I'll call you Kaeli instead of Mayeli”.She looked at him with an amused smile that revealed her deep dimples. “Okay”.“I love your dimples. You're so pretty”.Mayeli's smile deepened, along with her dimples. “Thank you”.“Do you have a boyfriend?” Killian asked.Mayeli's green eyes twinkled. “No”.“Good”.“Have you found a boyfriend, Mayeli?” Shaila, Mayeli's elder sister said, running to meet them.Mayeli tur

    “You look lovely this morning. I can hardly tear my eyes away”, Tyse said dramatically, his eyes shot and his face dreamy.Truce laughed, parting Killian’s shoulders. “You were so cool back there”.Killian sighed. Trust it to his friends to drive drive him crazy.They were in Killian’s office. They had followed him there from Mayeli’s house, instead of going to their respective offices, and they had been taunting him throughout.“He kept staring at her throughout breakfast”, Tyse said, laughing. He was wearing a navy blue Brioni suit with a white shirt inside, and his long hair was left to fall down his shoulders.“Was it that obvious?” Killian asked wearily. His friends were driving him crazy, but Mayeli was driving him more crazy. He could barely understand himself when it came to her. She was breaking the walls he had taken so long to build without an effort.“Very, but I don’t think she minded”, Truce replied.“You should send her flowers”, Tyse suggested. “Flowers are the key”.F

    “I'm exhausted”, Mayeli mumbled. They were on their way back from seeing the house. They had spoken to a few interior decor specialists, gone through the hustle of signing all the paperwork, and they were finally done. Mayeli was both hungry and exhausted.“I'm sorry, let's grab a bite at one of my favourite spots around the area”, Kreed said, opening his Navy-blue Pagani Huayra door for her. Mayeli had long stopped wondering about Kreed's expensive clothes and luxury cars. According to him, he came from a family of old money, which was true.“You have a favourite spot already?” Mayeli asked, entering the car.“Yes, my best friend, Aaron lives in the area”. Kreed shut the door and went over to the driver's side.Aaron? Mayeli wondered. Where had she heard that name?“What's the name of the restaurant?”Kreed started the car. “ZR. It's both a hotel and an eat-out spot. The view there is lovely, so is their food. I'll make a reservation now”.“Sure”.Mayeli relaxed into a soft car sea

    Killian closed his eyes as Mayeli's lips brushed his, and then captured his lips hungrily. She wasn't wasting any minute, and he loved it. The urgency made him more excited.He pulled her dress up above her butt and captured her soft bum in his hands. She stripped off his shirt impatiently, and then let him strip off her gown. She was left with a black lingerie and her heels, and the sight made him crazy. Gosh, he could never get enough of her. She was his weakness, a living temptation.She sat on the restroom bench, biting on her bottom lips seductively. Killian smiled, joining her.He captured her lips and his hands explored her almost naked body, relishing in the sound of her moans. They heard a knock on the door, which they dutifully ignored.Their sex this time was urgent and exciting like they both sort to satisfy a hunger that they hadn't known existed.His lips explored her neck as he thrust inside her, her hips moving with his movement and her legs wrapped around his waist l

    Killian stared at the necklace in his hands. It was a simple, expensive silver necklace he had gotten for Mayeli. He had been passing a Jewelry store when it caught his attention. It would look perfect on her, he thought with a smile.Maybe Truce was right. He had to try with Mayeli, or he would never know whether or not they would work out.Perhaps it was time to give that relationship thing a try, he thought with a smile.Mayeli was the perfect woman for him in many ways. She was beautiful, intelligent, confident, and god damn sexy. He liked her or maybe even loved her. She drew him in ways no woman ever had. He still loved her, though he could hardly remember what their relationship had been like, but he was certain they were meant to be from the very beginning.Killian picked up his car keys. It was just 5 pm, but he was eager to leave the office, he was eager to see her.When he walked out of his office door, his secretary, Gina, turned to him in surprise.“Do you have a meetin

    Killian eased his Rolls-Royce through the gates of a stunning three-story penthouse.The dark chocolate and cream-painted house stood in the middle of the face area, surrounded by carefully trimmed trees and beautiful colourful flowers. Everything about the house spoke comfort.The house was not too big, but it seemed perfect for a family of ten. It was probably twice Mayeli’s four-bedroom apartment. The walls were mainly transparent, displaying the lovely view of the environment and the colourful flowers. From where Mayeli was, she could see a pool on the third floor.“You sure have good eyes for houses”, Mayeli said as Killian entwined his fingers with hers and led her towards the house.“Thank you”, Killian mumbled. “Do you like it?”“I love it!”“Good, 'cause it’s yours”.Mayeli froze. Was this the surprise he was talking about?”“I’m sorry, I can’t accept it”, Mayeli said, trying to hold back the anger building in her chest. Why would he buy her a house?Killian looked surprised

    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.She stood up

    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

    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
