“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 screamed, jumping around.
“Is Nixen coming?” Her Mom asked. Her mom has been very nice to Nixen, but Mayeli is certain she can spot a glint of disapproval each time she talks about Nixen.
Thankfully, she was twenty-five and old enough to make decisions without any opposition, so no one's opinion mattered. Plus, Nixen is too caught up with work to leave the office for some days.
“No, it's an all-girls trip. I invited Shaila too, and she agreed to meet us in Croatia”, Mayeli replied.
“Perfect”, her Mom beams, tossing her hair playfully. At Fifty-Four she was still extremely beautiful. “It's so long since I last saw my grandkids and Bryelle would love the company”.
Shaila, Mayeli's elder sister, was married with two kids. She and her husband lived in Italy but occasionally visited.
Her sister and her kids were full of joy, and Mayeli couldn't wait to see them.
Bryelle gave her a toothless smile. “Can we leave now Mom?” She asked.
“I see you're already excited. We'll leave first thing tomorrow morning, my love”, Mayeli replied.
“Thanks, Mom”, Bryelle said with a smile that reminded Mayeli of Killian. The little girl was growing up to look very much like her father, and it scared Mayeli.
Mayeli struggled off her anxious thoughts before her mother could notice. “It would be the best birthday my love”, Mayeli said to Bryelle, tinkling her small frame.

Killian walked into Fortuna feeling a bit lighter. It was the first time he had visited Hvar since his mother's death. It pained him that he couldn't remember anything about their time here together when he was twelve.
He had loved his mother deeply, just as she had loved him. It pained him deeply that he couldn't remember who she was behind the photos.
“What's your reservation, sir?” The pretty dark-haired receptionist asked with a blush. Her eyes looked dreamy.
“Room 278, fifth floor”, Killian answered, nonchalantly.
“Give me a second”.
She peered into her system for a while and then turned to him with utter admiration sparkling in her light green eyes. Her eyes reminded him of Mayeli, though Mayeli's were greener.
“Are you Mr Killian Rylas?” She asked.
“Yes”.
“It's an honour to meet you. The hotel will do our very best to provide everything you need”.
“It's just a few days vacation, that won't be necessary, thank you”, Killian replied.
The receptionist blushed deeper. “How humble of you sir we'll take it upon ourselves to go the extra mile for your convenience”.
Killian was about to protest, but he was interrupted.
“We would very much appreciate you going the extra mile ma'am, please give us your very best”, Tyse said as he and Truce walked up to the sign-in desk to meet Killian.
As usual, his friends had begged to tag along, more like forced their way into his short vacation.
The receptionist looked at Tyse, then at Truce, and finally at Killian. Her face looked like she had just seen an apparition.
Killian politely pulled his room card from her hands and excused himself. He wasn't in the mood to hear what Tyse had to say to the pretty receptionist. It would probably end up with her waking up naked in his bed the next morning.
He entered the elevator and pressed the fifth floor. When the elevator door opened, he walked down the hallway to his room. Tyse and Truce were occupying the VIP room opposite him.
The hotel manager had informed him that the three rooms beside him had been booked. He wondered who was staying there. It wasn't a holiday season yet, and the city was empty.
He unlocked his door and was just about to enter when the room door beside him suddenly opened.
A shock of familiar curly, blonde hair appeared in the doorway before the owner retracted. The hair reminded him of Mayeli. He had been thinking of her too often these days and it bothered him.
He waited a while to see if the lady would come out of the room, again, but she didn't.
Sighing, he entered his room, chuckling about how he was stupidly waiting for someone he didn't know.
What was wrong with him?
He heard a soft knock on the door, and before he could respond, Tyse and Truce sauntered in.
“I saw a lady from afar that looked a lot like Mayeli. Is she here too?” Truce asked Killian.
Killian's head snapped up from the newspaper he had been scrutinizing.
“Mayeli? Why would she be here”, he asked.
He could hear his heart beating wildly. Just the mention of her name made his heart race. What was Mayeli doing to him?
“Probably false alarm. I didn't get to see her face so I won't know if it's her or not. Don't get all worked up”, Truce replied. He adjusted his white Denim shorts and sat down on the king-size bed in the room. “I'd love a glass of wine to recuperate from all the stress”.
After kicking off his white Nike sneakers, he started to dial room service.
“You just mentioned his heartthrob and you expect him not to get worked up. What is he, Budda?” Tyse asked, laughing. He was wearing light blue pants with a matching shirt. His hair was left to fall across his shoulders. On his feet was a pair of black Herm straps and H slippers.
“Whose heart throb?” Killian asked coldly.
“When are you going to admit you like her?” Tyse asked, tossing Killian a pillow.
“I don't like her”, Killian lied. As much as he wanted the words he just spoke to be utterly true, he just couldn't stop liking Mayeli.
The doorbell rang, and Truce gestured for Killian to get it since he was closest to the door.
“Liar”, Tyse mumbled, chuckling.
Killian rolled his eyes at his friend, before turning towards the door.
When he opened the door. He saw a young, smiling Waiter with a tray full of food. Truce's handwork.
He stepped out of the room to let the man pass. He was just about to enter his room when he noticed the door beside him closing. He caught a shock of blonde hair before she shut the door.
He felt his heart beat racing What was wrong with him? He didn't even know the lady.
“She's the one”, his inner voice whispered.
Who?

Mayeli smiled as he followed her to the hotel room they had just booked. It had been easier than she thought.It hurt her slightly that he didn't remember her, but it made things easier, so it wasn't a problem.She had heard from her sources that he had an accident that cost his memory, years ago, but a bit of her had still hoped he would know her when he met her.She unlocked the door of the room, entered inside, and tossed her red channel purse on the table. She listened for his movement behind her as the door clicked shut, and the locks turned.His arms came to wrap around her waist from behind, pulling her into an embrace, while his lips teased the skin on her neck.

For age she was a smart, precarious child, always asking questions that left Mayeli stunned. She probably got that trait from both of her parents.“No baby, you've had too much already, let's get you to school”, Mayeli replied, standing up to grab her brown Louis Vuitton handbag.She was wearing a dark brown Everlane suit, with matching brown Steve Madden heels to complete the look.

Killian stared through Nixen's glass office walls at the beautiful lady with long blonde hair as she walked to her black 2023 Audi Q5, with a pretty little girl that looked almost exactly like her. He was certain she was the woman he had met at the Opera two years ago.He looked the way her Olive green suit complimented her glowing, pale skin. Her lovely blonde hair was packed in a neat ponytail, highlighting her heart-shaped face. His mind went to a night two years ago when he had held her body naked in his arms. He could still remember her exotic scent.He had only feigned ignorance earlier because she seemed very uncomfortable with his presence, and Nixen seemed to have something for her. He didn't want to cause any problems. But he wasn't sure he could keep to that when it came to her.How could he forget her? He had thought about her frequently in the past two years.

“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 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

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.

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?
