2024-11-21 16:56:49Killian stared at Mayeli, trying his best to keep a neutral expression, but deep down, he was glad about how easily her body had reacted to his.
He moved away from her and went to sit at his table. The tension in the office was a bit too intense.
She continued her explanation, while he watched her. He had been mostly watching her from the beginning, but she had been too absorbed in the presentation to notice. And mostly, he was grateful for that.
He couldn't get his mind off the image of her, getting down from her Audi Q5, and walking towards the building. She looked breathtaking.
What was that you just said? How did he know? Of course, he had been watching her through his transparent glass wall.
To be honest, he had been waiting for her. He still remembered how his heart raced when he set his eyes on her. She just seemed to always look alluring, exquisite, resilient, and graceful.
Mayeli had a quality he never saw in any other woman, and it pulled him to her.
“She was making out with another man Killian”, his inner mind reminded him.
He cursed at the voice silently, flinching as he recalled the memory of Nixen's hands around her bare back.
“Do you have any questions?” She asked, drawing him out of his reverie.
Her plump pink lips were slightly parted, and her green eyes looked confidently at him, waiting for her reply.
He adjusted his composure. He had to sound professional, and unbothered. She was just a mere employee, and nothing more. She didn't matter to him.
Liar!
“The presentation wasn't bad, but I want you to rework on the third section. It's my company's reputation at stake here, I'd prefer it if you take your job seriously”.
Her brows knotted stubbornly.
“I acknowledge that my presentation did not meet your requirements, Killian, but I…”
“It's Mr Reon to you”.
She stared at him, shocked. He knew he had been a bit too harsh, but she had stared clearly that she didn't feel anything for him. What was the point of being so informal?
“I'm sorry, Mr Reon. I was just about to say that I'm not in any way taking my job for granted”. He could hear the hurt laced in her voice.
“I'm your boss, so I get to decide that”.
“Excuse you. You're not my boss!”
“How rude”.
“I'm sorry for not reciprocating your very polite behaviour”.
“You would not speak to me in that way!”
“I would speak to you in any fucken way that I want”.
She had turned red in anger, and her hands were balled in a tiny fist. They were literally screaming at each other right now.
“Language Mayeli!”
“It's Ms Wess to you”. She tried to place as much venom in those two words as possible, making him laugh out loud.
“Is something funny?” She asked, raising an angry brow. She looked extremely cute when she was angry.
“Nothing, Mayeli. I'm sorry for being rude to you”. He tried to make his voice as soft, and pacifying as possible. He felt guilty for making her so angry when he had barely seen her in two weeks. He hated to admit that he had missed her.
“It's Ms. Wess to you!” She said icly.
He was about to say something when the name she just mentioned registered in his brain.
Wess? Mayeli Wess? Where had he heard that name before? It seemed to be a name he had known a long time ago. Did he meet this angry, beautiful woman standing in front of him before that night, two years ago?
Just then, they heard a soft knock on the door, and his best friend, Truce sauntered inside.
Great! Killian mumbled under his breath.
He and Truce’s parents have known each other forever, but they had first met in Harvard during their freshman year. They had become inseparable since then.
Truce looked from him to Mayeli, and then back.
“Am I interrupting something?”
“What are you doing here?” Killian asked.
“I'm glad to see you too bro, thanks for asking?”
Killian threw his best friend a dagger stare which he returned with a heartwarming smile.
Mayeli started to pack her things. He wanted to stop her, but he didn't know what to say. Plus, with his idiot best friend here, he didn't want to look all emotional. Emotions weren't his thing.
“You're leaving already?” Truce asked.
“Yes, we're done with the meeting”, Mayeli replied in a small, polite voice. She looked very different from the woman who had been screaming at him a while ago.
“Too bad, we were just leaving for lunch, please come with us?” Truce asked.
“Lunch?” Killian asked, confused, earning a dagger stare from his friend.
“It's fine, I'll pass, thanks for inviting me though”, Mayeli said.
“I insist”.
“She said she's fine Truce, don't push it”.
“You're meant to be assisting me here, bro”, Truce replied. “Besides Tyse is waiting”.
“Fine”. Killian sighed. Way to go Truce!
He took a deep breath, turning to Mayeli.
“It would be lovely if you came with us”.
She stared at him, her green eyes glowing with surprise. He had surprised himself too, so he didn't blame her.
“Great, that settles everything then. Let me help you with this”, Truce said, taking her handbag, and walking out of the office.
Mayeli looked like she was about to say something, but she gave up and followed him. Truce can be quite exhausting.

Mayeli looked around as they walked into an Italian restaurant.Truce walked towards a table already occupied by a young man. Tyse, CEO of Octavia? Killian's crew seemed to consist solely of billionaires.Tyse looked stunning in a well-tailored white suit, with a white shirt inside. He wasn't wearing a tie, and the first three buttons of his shirt were undone, making him look even sexier. From the look of things, his jet-black hair was quite long, and seeing it packed in a bun brought out the structure of his handsome face. He had a high cheekbone, and thin pink lips, with warm brown eyes that were currently on her.Killian sat beside Tyse, while Truce sat opposite them, gesturing for her to sit beside him. Which meant, she sat exactly opposite Killian. Quite heartwarming.Truce leaned over asking her if she was comfortable, and she nodded.Just like Killian and Tyse, he was stunning. He had curly blonde hair, high cheekbones, grey eyes, and perfect full lips. She spotted a deep dimpl

“You came, Killian”, a little girl said, coming to hug him. She looked about eight years old.“I told you I was coming Kaeli”, he replied, hugging her tightly.“Shaila, look who came by,” she said to a girl who looked just a bit older than her—her sister.“It's been a long time Killian, where have you been?” Shaila asked.“I went to Italy with my mom and dad for a two-month vacation”.“That sounds so cool. Why didn't you take me?” Kaeli asked.“I wanted to Kaeli, but my mom said you couldn't come”.“I missed you so much Killian, don't you ever leave me again”.“I won't Kaeli, I promise”.“Why do you call her Kaeli? Her name is Mayeli”, Shaila said.“Her name is Kaeli too, and I prefer it to Mayeli”.“Just say Mayeli”, Sophia said, laughing.“It's time to go, Mr Killian, you're running late for your piano lesson”, a tall man, who looked like his bodyguard said.“I don't want to go, I want to stay with Kaeli”, little Killian protested.“I'm sorry young master, but we have to leave now”,
Last Updated : 2024-11-25The Chemistry A burning curiosity
Mayeli's thoughts were running wild. Why had he been calling her name in his sleep? Did he like her too, or perhaps did he remember her?After lunch yesterday with his friends, she had come to terms with the fact that she still loved Killian. She could never let go of him. But now here he was confusing her again. First, he was making out with another woman, in broad daylight in his office, and now he was calling her name in his sleep? Killian was one complex man, she had to admit.Who was she to judge him though? She was dating Nixen, and she had been doing things with him. Not in the sex department, but they had kissed and made out several times, to be honest almost every time. Still! She was so fucken jealous right now.The first time Nixen had kissed her, she had waited for the fire. That fire that burned through her veins when Killian touched her. He didn't even need to kiss her to light her up. With Nixen it was just sweet and ordinary, but with Killian…“It wasn't you”. Killian

“Bry, do you want more juice?” Mayeli asked her two-year-old daughter.They had spent the night in Nixen's mansion, and now they were having breakfast in his large dining room, overlooking the poolside. Nixen's mansion was breathtaking. It consisted of six large bedrooms, two large, spacious living rooms with high ceilings and lovely chandeliers hanging down, a game room, a rooftop pool, and a large. The walls were painted garden. The walls were painted a lovely shade of cream, giving the house a homey feel.“No”, she pouted.She was all dressed for school, and her curly black hair was packed in a ponytail. She looked super cute as always with her pouty face.“Can I know why baby, are you okay? Did mummy do something wrong?”She looked at Nixen for support.“What's wrong, my love?” Nixen asked. He always made an effort to be the perfect father figure Bryelle needed even if she hadn't told him who her biological father was, and Mayeli appreciated that fact.“Uncle Nixen won't bring Unc

“The case is hereby dismissed”, the judge said.“We won!” Kreed screamed doing a crazy dance. Mayeli gave him a “what a baby” look, gathering her things.She looked around for Killian for probably the hundredth time, but he was nowhere to be found. She sighed disappointed. So he hadn't even bothered to show up.“Since we won, I'm buying you lunch”, she said, walking away.“You must be in a perfect mood”, Kreed replied, when he had caught up with her.“I buy lunch all the time Kreed”.“Yeah like once in two months”.“Whatever”.A few minutes later, they were seated in one of her favourite restaurants.“How's Sonia doing?” Mayeli asked. Sonia was Kreed's girlfriend, a doctor at one the biggest hospitals in England.“Great. She misses you a lot. She would have today but had too many patients”. “I'd try coming around next weekend”.“Can I ask you something Mayeli?” Kreed’s tone sounded serious, making her worry a bit.“Sure.

Mayeli sat on one of the benches scattered around the children's park, watching Bryelle play with the other kids.Her mind was on Killian. For a moment, she had thought he had forgotten her, and it had pained her deeply. Now she knew he didn't forget her, she didn't know how to feel. One part of her was happy and the other was scared. What if he found out about Bryelle? She had promised her mother that she would tell him about Bryelle when it was time, but today, he had thrown that question at her, and she had outrightly denied his claims.Why? She didn't know. What would she say to her baby when she was old enough to ask questions? Would she shield her child from her father?Her relationship with Killian was already a very complicated one. She didn't think it was necessary to add more complications to it. What was she thinking two years ago?She tucked her curly blonde hair behind her ear. She was Mayeli, the stunning, gorgeous lady.

He knew he should be staying away from her, but he couldn't.His jaws had almost dropped when he saw her in the dress she was wearing now. It showed off every perfection of her gorgeous body, and he couldn't stop staring.When she had gone to find the mirror, he gave her friend and the attendant his best charming smile, muttering a vague reason for wanting to see her.

“Mummy, meet Uncle Killian”, Bryelle said to Mayeli, pulling her to where Killian was standing, still and perfect as ever.She could see amusement in their eyes as he watched Bryelle, but as he turned to her, his gaze went cold.“I've met him, baby, he's kinda my boss at the office”.Killian gave her a quizzical look, and she almost laughed remembering the last time they had argued about him not being her boss.“Great. I invited him to lunch, and he agreed. You have to join us”, Bryelle said, giving her a serious little face.“Bryelle…I”.“You shouldn't disappoint your little girl”, Killian said, cutting her off. He looked somewhat angry. Sexy and angry!What the fuck was wrong. He had just complimented her lovingly a few minutes ago. Was this dude bipolar or something?“Fine”, she grumbled. Diora gave her a knowing look.Diora had gushed over Killian a few minutes ago. She kept describing his looks, his voice, his hair, and probably everywhere else she could see. “Did you hear his vo

Mayeli sat by the pool of her hotel with her elder sister, Shaila, enjoying the warmth of the sun. Shaila was wearing an orange H&M bikini, while Mayeli was wearing a black one. They had both packed their long hair into a high messy bun.The children were with their grandmother so they had little free time on their hands.Shaila was tall and beautiful just like Mayeli, but with long, straight black hair instead. She had taken my father's hair colour, while Mayeli had taken my mom's.She had an oval-shaped face with high cheekbones, a pointed nose, and dreamy grey eyes just like my mom’s. She exuded a jovial and charismatic aura that drew people to her, and as a renowned model and fashion designer, it helped her career a great deal. Mayeli loved her sister dearly, but their busy schedules and distance prevented them from hanging out often. They cherished the few occasions they could be together like this.Shaila was married to an Italian, handsome actor, Petro, and they had two kids.

“Mom, can Uncle Killian come with us?” Bryelle asked, giving Mayeli a baby face.“What?” “Can Uncle Killian come with us?” She repeated.Mayeli shared a look with her mom, speechless. She didn't know how to tell her baby that her request was impossible to grant.Mayeli, Bryelle, and her Mom are seated on her king-sized bed, laid with cream sheets, in her spacious peach-coloured bedroom. Everything about the room is painted cream and peach, giving it a homey feel.Bryelle is turning three in a week, so Mayeli decided to go on a two-week vacation to Croatia with her mom and Bryelle. She just announced the news to both of them.“He can't my, love, he has a lot of work to do”, Mayeli's Mom replies to Bryelle.Mayeli gave her mom a grateful smile, but got a stern smile that said “How long would you keep this a secret?” She sighed, and looked away, not in the mood for one of mothers constant rebukes.“When are we leaving?” Her mom asked.“Tomorrow”, Mayeli replied brightly.“Yey!” Bryelle
The Chemistry Threats
“Hey Tyse”, Nixen said casually, shaking hands with him.Mayeli stared at them, shocked. Tyse is a renowned multi-billionaire. Yeah, Nixen is, rich, but not up to Tyse, Truce, and Killian's level.“How're you doing bro”, Tyse beamed. There's a bright, genuine smile on his face, but Nixen's smile looks forced. Mayeli wondered why.“I'm good. It's a pleasant surprise to see you here”.“I brought Mayeli, but I'm on my way now”.Mayeli noticed Nixen's hands tighten around the bags he was holding. His smile evaporated.“Oh, I see”, Nixen mumbled, glancing at Mayeli.“I better get going”, Tyse said. He had probably noticed the change of expression.“I'll walk you to your car”, Mayeli said, following Tyse.“I think walking me to my car was a bad idea. Nixen didn't look happy about the fact that I brought you”, Tyse said, running his hands through his hair. Gosh, he was so handsome. After Killian, he was the finest man Mayeli had ever seen.“It's fine. You only helped”, She reassured him. So
The Chemistry Hurting again
Mayeli stared at Killian. How could he? How could he do that to Diora, while making out with her?He kept a nonchalant expression, showing no signs of guilt. “What did you do to her?”He looked at her with something close to anger and irritation. “I didn't do anything, Mayeli”.Truce looked at both of them.“Am I missing something here?” Truce asked.“I don't know, ask her?” Killian yelled.Truce turned to Mayeli. “What's wrong, Mayeli?”“Ask your friend”, she screamed, walking away.She saw Truce throw her a quizzical look, and then swiftly ask Killian what was happening. She waited for Killian to reply, but she heard nothing other than a banged door. She hissed and entered the elevator. So, he had made good his threats.She thought of reporting him to the authorities, but she had no proof yet, plus she didn't want the circumstances surrounding Mayeli's birth to go public. Of Course, surely it would if she reported the matter to the authorities. It involved two prominent figures a

Killian stared at Mayeli’s stubborn expression, not knowing what to do. She looked a bit scared by his words, but she maintained a defiant look. She had a face that reminded him of Becky G.She bit on her full, lower lips, and pouted stubbornly. “I hardly deserve a beating for using your toilet”, she pointed out.“Against my will”.“It's just a toilet”. She folded her arms and sat on his bed. “You look gorgeous in white and black though”.His eyes bulged at the socket. What did she just say?She stood up from the bed and walked to where he stood, planting her small frame in front of him. She had a coquettish smile on her face. Gosh! She was tempting him.“Maybe I can handle your anger, so bring it on”. He stared at her slightly apart, pulp, pink lips, and a sensation ran through him.He was certain it was the alcohol talking, but it didn't stop him from feeling the day he was feeling. He turned away from her and walked towards his balcony. He wasn't sure he could resist her when she w
The Chemistry His Room
Mayeli edged through the crowd in search of Killian.She had been asking herself several times why she was looking for him, but she couldn't find an answer. When she couldn't see him anywhere, she gave up. She stood in the shadows silently watching the party and sipping wine. She was starting to feel lightheaded from all the wine she had consumed.She felt the urge to pee and headed to find the restroom. For fuck sake, where would she find one in this large house, she wondered.She took the elevator and pressed the third floor, though she wasn't sure where that lead. Build least, she could escape from the noise of the party for a while.When the elevator door opened, she walked down the hallway stretched in front of her, looking for anything that looked like a restroom.Her feet felt wobbly, and she quickly gripped the nearest door handle for support. The door gave way, and she stumbled into a large room.The walls were painted a lovely shade of charcoal green. A large king-size bed w

Mayeli felt apprehensive as she packed her Audi in front of the party venue. Gosh, just how big was this house? She wondered. Whoever owned the place must be swimming in six figures, she reckoned.The building was painted white. It had huge, finely crafted pillars in front of it and a large fountain at the centre. Everything about the house spoke affluence from the interior design to the fleet of cars packed in the garage.Mayeli checked her Rolex. She was thirty minutes late, and from the sound of voices and music emanating from the mansion, she was certain the party had started.She did this often, except when it was an important case in the courtroom. She always arrived at work or events thirty minutes late. It was her own way of taking control, making them wait.She felt a bit nervous though. Nixen was going to introduce her to his friends.

Mayeli stared at him like he had gone knots. “You came for me? After sending that message. You have the nerve to show yourself to me?” she yelled. People were turning towards that direction, but she didn't care.“I didn't send the message,” he said, raising his brow slightly. His blue eyes looked angry.“Are you going to keep denying it?”“Why are you so certain it's me?” He ran his hands through his lovely hair, letting out a frustrated sigh.“Because only you and me fucken know about two years ago”.“You said your baby was not the product of the affair, so why does it bother you so much?
