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

    “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

    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.

    “Are you following me?” Mayeli asked when Killian returned to where they were sitting. Shaila threw her a surprised glance.“I didn't follow you”, Killian replied dryly. His attention was still on little Bryelle in his arms.Mayeli scoffed angrily. “So how do you explain meeting me in Croatia, in this particular hotel, at this particular time?” Killian ignored her for a few minutes talking to Bryelle, and explaining to her why he needed to go, like her permission was very important. When he was done talking with Bryelle, he turned to Mayeli. “Coincidence”, he mumbled in a dry voice, like he was speaking to an annoying child he would rather avoid.Mayeli felt anger surging to her. He sure has a way of getting over his nerves.“And I'm to believe that coincidence is what brought us here together at the same time?” “You don't have to believe”. His words made her angrier.He turned to Shaila, ignoring Mayeli again. “It was nice to meet you. “I have to take my leave now”. With that, he

Besides, you've met him only thrice, how can you dislike him already?” Mayeli fumed, glaring at her sister.They were at the hotel’s open bar relaxing and waiting for Nixen's arrival. He was only a few minutes away from the hotel.“Once is enough to dislike a person, Mayeli”.Mayeli ignored her sister. She wasn't in the mood for an unnecessary argument right now. She had woken up in a foul mood, though she didn't know why.“Why would he fly from London just to stay for two hours? Is he trying to flaunt his riches?” Shaila continued.Mayeli ignored her sister and quietly sipped her pineapple juice.Nixen had called to inform her that he had an important meeting he could not skip, but he would fly over to see her first, before going for his meeting.She smiled gratefully as she saw Nixen walking towards

She and Nixen.Nixen had locked gaze with him, a smile playing on his face before he turned and pulled Mayeli into a kiss. He didn't understand if it had been meant to make him jealous, but it worked as hell.He needed to get Mayeli out of his head, he was falling for her more than he should.But, here she was in his room, cleaning the wound he had sustained because of her.Christ, had she been crying because he said no to her cleaning his wound?

He could feel his heartbeat palpating. How could someone draw you in so easily, without even trying? He wondered.She looked up to stare at him, her green eyes glowing brightly under

    Mayeli smiled as she buttoned up his black shirt. It still had his scent, so she guessed he had worn it recently.She couldn't believe he asked her to stay. Killian was one confusing fellow. One moment, he was happy, and the next, he was angry. She just couldn't get it.At least he was being sweet tonight, maybe she could hold on to that fact.She sprayed on a little of his Pur Oud Louis Vuitton perfume, wondering how his perfume could cost more than a thousand dollars. Just how rich was Killian?When she stepped into the room, he was arranging pillows on the couch. He had changed from the blue jean and black LV T-shirt he had been wearing earlier, to black shorts and a black sleeveless polo. He always looked smoking-hot in all black.Mayeli bit on her lower lips as she watched the movement of his flexing muscles as he arranged the pillows, oblivious of her presence.Gosh, he was so beautiful. Her eyes trailed his tall frame, and his well-built legs. He had a dragon tattoo on one, whi

When they reached, he let go of her hands, and turned to her, anger written on his face.“What do you think you're doing?” He asked angrily.“I should be asking you” that!” Mayeli retorted, equally angry. What the hell did he think he was doing when he dragged her out here?“You shouldn't be going around giving random guys your number when you have a boyfriend”.Mayeli rolled her eyes, surprised. Why did Killian care about who or not gotten her number?“It's none of your business”, Mayeli mumbled. “It's my business when it involves my brother!”“What are you trying to be now, your brother's keeper?Killian’s perfect features twisted into a frown, and he looked like he was about to give her an angry rebuff when his ringing phone interrupted him.

It was finally the weekend, and at least, they could get a little break.They were in Mayeli's favourite bar to grab a drink, and most importantly, she wanted to her best friend Bryelle's father. She didn't want to joke about the unknown or Killian’s threat.They managed to find a seat in front of the young, handsome bartender who kept staring at Mayeli.“What can I offer the two beautiful women in front of me?” The young man asked with a smile.Diora ordered a glass of Brandy, while Mayeli ordered a whiskey. She needed all the courage she could get tonight.When the drinks came, Diora took a sip of her Brandy and turned to Mayeli. “What exactly did you want to tell me, Bess?”Mayeli took a deep and looked around the bar. It was filled with young blood, drinking, dancing, watching naked strippers on the dance floor, and having more fun.“I want to tell you who Bryelle’s father is”, Mayeli

    Killian stared at the chubby smiling man dressed in a black, expensive-looking Channel suit that was a bit too tight due to his protruding belly. Killian thought he could probably see his reflection in the man's black Firenze Atelier shoes that were published to a fault.“What are you doing here?” Killian asked, irritated.He and Mayeli were meant to be having their weekly meetings, but he was seeing someone else in her place.“I'm James a senior partner at JCK law firm. I will be replacing Mayeli as your company's legal representative”, the chubby man fumbled, with a nervous smile.“Why?” Killian asked, returning his eyes to the document in front of him. Did Mayeli quit her job without informing him?He had looked forward to this particular day of the week when she came to discourse business with him. He missed her melodious laughter and the way her green eyes gleamed when she was being serious. Why would she quit? He couldn't let her.“Mr Nixen said he would speak to you about that”

    Mayeli kicked her legs back and forth in the pool, enjoying the feel of the cold water on her bare legs.“Do you mind sharing your story then?” She asked Killian.He remained silent for a moment, and she thought he wouldn't reply.“Do you really want to hear my story, it's quite boring”, Killian replied, running his hands through his rough, curly hair. His eyes were focused on the distance in front of them.“I want to hear it”.“Her name was Emma. We dated for three years, and we broke up two years ago. Emma was everything I wanted in a woman, physically and emotionally, and sometimes I wondered why she was with me. She was too good for me”.Mayeli tried to hide the burning feeling in her chest. Killian had a girlfriend after her? One he considered too good for him. She was jealous.“Then what happened?” Mayeli asked in a strained voice.“We loved each other very much, but I always felt something was missing. I felt like there was something I had left behind that I was meant to find.

    “What?” Mayeli shrieked.The receptionist politely repeated what she had just said, though she shot Mayeli a death glare, and threw Killian a coquettish smile. Mayeli didn't the young woman. Killian had that effect on many people, including males. The man was a breathing temptation.“I said we are filled to our capacity, and there are no space rooms”, the receptionist repeated.“Okay, that's fine, she'd stay in my room. Give me the keys to room 306, I made a reservation”, Killian said to the receptionist.The receptionist blushed. “I'm coming, I have to check the records, give me a moment”.Mayeli shot her a glare. The woman had the nerve to flirt with Killian in front of her.“Of course, she has every right to flirt with him. He is not yours or is he?” Her inner voice whispered.Oh, the damn voice! It always told her the truth. Truths she wasn't willing to accept.“Here you go”, the receptionist said, handing Killian the key to his room. Killian tried to collect the keys, but the wo

    “Shoot!” Mayeli muttered, stepping out of her car.An accident had occurred, and the road was blocked. There was no other route leading to her house except this one. Accidents like this happened a lot during the winter. And tonight, it was snowing heavily.She checked her silver Edox wristwatch. It was 8 p.m. When she left school, Mayeli had taken Bryelle to her mother's house. Bryelle refused to talk to her, so she had to visit her Mom.After a long talk with Bryelle and a thorough scolding from her mom about telling Killian about Bryelle's real father, Mayeli was allowed to leave her mom's house. Now here she was, stuck!She looked around for who she could talk to, but everyone seemed busy. Finally, a middle-aged, male police officer walked past her, and she quickly stopped the woman.“What's the progress on clearing, Ma'am?” Mayeli asked. The woman gave her a compassionate look. “I'm sorry, the road not be cleared anytime soon, and even if it cleared, it would be very dangerous t

    Mayeli walked into the head teacher's office to see her little daughter clutching to a tall well-built figure. Even though she was staring at his back, she knew it was Killian. She felt her heart twist painfully as she remembered her conversation with Nixen a few minutes ago. What the fuck was Killian doing here? And holding her little girl? He had the nerves!“He barely needs the nerve to hold his child”, Mayeli's inner voice chastised, but she ignored the voice.For a second, she panicked. What if Killian had discovered he was Mayeli's father? Otherwise, what was he doing here?“Are you Bryelle's Mom?” A tall, slim, and shockingly pretty lady, whom Mayeli had not noticed earlier asked. The woman had a slightly deep voice and an athletic body that fitted her beautiful round face. She was dressed in a black, Channel suit-skirt. She was clutching to a cute, chubby young girl of about Bryelle's age, whom Mayeli believed to be the woman's daughter.Christ, the little girl was probably t

    “You look gorgeous, May”, Kreed said, placing a cup of coffee on Mayeli's large office table.She gave him a weak smile. “Thank you”.Okay, so what's with the sour mood? She just returned from her trip yesterday, but had insisted on coming to work amidst Nixen's protest.She couldn't bear to stay idle, it would kill her. She was thinking too much about Killian, and she was trying her best to stay away from Nixen, which was impossible since she basically saw him everyday and mostly every time. Her conscience was killing her.“Mayeli, I just completed your dress, and no thank you?” Kreed frowned.“I said thank you for”. She rolled her eyes at him. How she looked was the least of her worries. She was wearing a peach coloured Chanel suit and a white Jimmy Choo heels. Her hair was styled to fall down her back and she had a light makeup on her face.“I didn't hear you”, Kreed mumbled. Mayeli knew he was just trying to get her to talk, his best attempt at trying to cheer her up. “Just let m
