Killer Dress

“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. What is it?”

“Do you like Nixen?”

Mayeli choked on her pineapple juice, sending him a surprised look.

Why are you asking me that?” 

“Just answer the question”.

“That's none of your business Kreed”.

“I'm guessing it's a no then”, he mumbled, focusing on his food.

She was about to say something when she saw Truce walking towards them.

The air around him screamed hot and sexy! And she saw many female heads and a few male heads, turn in his direction.

He was wearing a well-tailored black suit with h white shirt inside. His hair was styled away from his face, highlighting his lovely features. He looked breathtaking.

“Mayeli!” He exclaimed when he reached them.

“Hey Truce, good to see you”, Mayeli replied.

He placed a kiss on her cheeks and shook hands with Kreed.

“I was at your hearing earlier with Killian. You killed it girl, I'm so blown away”, Truce said.

“You were there? Killian came too?” How was that even possible? She had searched for Killian throughout the hearing.

“Yes. We came quite late, and we sat at the back. Killian left early though, he said he had an important friend he had to meet up with, and he didn't want to disappoint her”.

“Oh”, was all she could manage. A she? An important friend? Was she pretty? What was her name? 

“None of your business”, her inner voice teased.

“He was impressed with your performance though, he wanted me to tell you that, but I got distracted after the hearing, and you suddenly vanished”, Truce said.

“I'm really happy to hear that”.

“Okay, I have to go now, I came with a few friends. It was nice meeting you Kreed”, Truce said, walking away.

“I like him”, Kreed said, when Truce had gone.

“I'll let him know”.

A message from Diora flashed on her phone screen.

Meet me at C&K stores, girl. We have an overdue shopping to do. Great job on winning the case. Let's celebrate.

Mayeli rolled her eyes, sighing. Diora lived for shopping.

She and Kreed talked for a while, then she dropped him off at his house and headed for the store. She was already exhausted.

“Hey, girl!” Diora screamed, hugging her.

“I'm exhausted, Dee”.

“Whatever, don't be a party pooper. I saw some gorgeous dresses online, and I want to check them out!”

A few minutes later Mayeli was sitting on a comfortable cushion with a magazine in her hands, sipping orange juice, and watching Diora change into different dresses.

“You should try this on ma'am, it would suit you perfectly”, one of the store attendants said, handing her a black, very revealing dress.

“I'm not wearing that!” Mayeli replied.

“Of course you are”, Diora said, taking the dress from the attendant, and tossing it on Mayeli. “Go and change”. Her tone left no room for argument.

“Fine”.

Minutes later, Mayeli stood in front of Diora and her attendant, feeling very awkward.

“You look so beautiful ma'am”, the attendant gasped, a look of sincere admiration spread on her face.

“Thanks”.

“Mayeli baby, I know you're always gorgeous, but you look amazing right now”, Diora said. She had a stupid dreamy expression on her face.

“Whatever, where is the mirror?” Mayeli asked.

The attendant pointed her in the direction.

She smiled when she saw her reflection in the mirror. She didn't look that bad.

The dress was a long, flat, transparent, low-cut, sleeveless gown that formed a small pool around her. It had a long slit that stopped just above her upper thigh, and several tiny diamonds scattered on it. It was lovely, but too revealing though. Her cleavages and her thighs were very exposed.

She raised her hair above her head, deciding whether or not to buy the dress. She could wear it for the party this weekend.

“You look dazzling”, a deep, familiar voice said.

Killian! 

She turned to face him. Gosh! He was always so smoking hot.

She felt her heartbeat increase its rhythm as his blue eyes raked her body. 

Killian was wearing well-tailored blue trousers and a white shirt. His first three buttons had been left undone, and his curly hair was left to fall over his face.

He had a warm smile on his handsome face, and his thin pink lips were slightly parted.

“What are you…how did you get in here?” She stammered.

“Being a billionaire affords you special privileges”.

He took a step forward, and she froze.

She couldn't believe Killian was standing right in front of her now, staring at her. In this dress!

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.

    The next morning, when Mayeli woke, she had a bad headache. She had barely slept last night. Her mind was on the text message she received.Was it Killian? Was he trying to black mail her about the fact that he had found out Bryelle was his? He was the only one who knew about two years ago.How could he? She thought angrily. She thought she could at least trust him, but he had disappointed her. He had stooped too low, and she wasn't going to let it slide.Today was the fourth day of the week, and she was already exhausted. She badly wanted it to come to an end, though she didn't look forward to the party this weekend. She was not a lover of social gatherings.

    “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

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.

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
