“You don't like the food?” Nixen's soft voice asked, breaking Mayeli from her deep thoughts.

He was looking as stunning as always in a simple, expensive-looking, Navy-blue straight trousers and white shirt. His straight black hair was left to fall slightly on his face making him look more handsome. Three of his buttons were left undone, exposing his well-built tanned chest. He looked ravishingly hot!

“I love it”, she replied, throwing him a quizzical look. Why had he asked?

Her thoughts had been on the event of last night, and she had probably phased out without knowing. Tears burned her eyelids as she recalled the memory. Killian and she had made love so passionately, relishing each other's comfort, and for a moment, she thought they could probably work out. But he left without a note or a goodbye. He left her like a cheap whore.

And still, she had stared at her iPhone 14 pro almost a thousand times today, waiting for a text from him. How pathetic of her to think he was still her Ki

    Mayeli stared at her reflection for probably the tenth time this morning. She was having her first official meeting with Killian as his company's legal representative.As much as she tried avoiding him, she couldn't. He just always had a way of getting under her skin. She was starting to miss him though. She hadn't seen for almost two weeks now, and strangely, it bothered her.She checked her reflection out again, wondering if she had overdressed. She was wearing a long, corporate, long-sleeved, body hug gown that stopped well past her knees. The front part, along with one of the sleeves was white, while the other was black. On her feet was a pair of white Jimmy Choo heels, while her hands held a matching white purse. She let her long, blonde hair fall in wavy curls down her waist, and applied light makeup. She looked perfect.She did a little crazy dance, satisfied with her look before going to the kitchen to get breakfast ready.She finished breakfast, dropped Bryelle off at schoo

    Killian 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

  • The Chemistry   A chance?

    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”,

  • The 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.

    “This looks nice,” Mayeli said, pointing at a white three-step cake that looked beautiful.Killian gave her a bored look that said, “Do whatever you want.” She had dragged him against his will to do the cake buying with her. Beautiful thing, he couldn’t say no to her.Mayeli turned to the receptionist, a young woman in her early twenties. “Can we taste this?”“Of course, Sir… Ma.” She had atransfiguredd smile on her face as she stared at Killian.Mayeli felt the urge to wipe off the smile from her face. Killian chuckled at her reaction. He was enjoying the situation?Mayeli glared at Killian, but in return he gifted her one of his charming smiles. He took the cake from the receptionist, cut a bit of it and gave it to Mayeli.She smiled and ate the cake. It tasted lovely.“How’s it?” Killian asked.“It’s good.”Killian tastes the cake himself and nods. “Seems like something I can easily beat.”“You bake?” The receptionist asks Killian, still smiling, this time seductively.I turn to

    Mayeli stared at her full-length mirror with a smile. She was wearing a floral blue dress and she had packed her hair into a neat low bun. On her feet was a pair of silver wedges and she held a matching Zara purse.She had put in the effort to look pretty.It had been three weeks since Bryelle’s recovery, and everyone was running around to plan her and Killian’s wedding.Shaila was talking to the event planner inside her and Killian’s new apartment.

    The tension in the air was thick enough for even the sharpest knives. Mayeli followed Killian to the doctor's office, their arms firmly clasped together.Killian drew out a seat for her, and she sat down. He drew another one for himself and sat down beside her.Killian’s Doctor stared at them for a few minutes, not saying anything.“Speak,” Killian commanded, his voice cold and impatient. Mayeli sent a look, and he had the grace to look sorry for just a few seconds before his cold mask returned in place. She almost laughed, despite her tears and anxiety. It had been a while since she saw this cold and commanding side of Killian.Doctor Gail cleared his throat. “I've run several tests since the last surgery we just performed, and I think I should perhaps run more before I break this news to you.”Mayeli felt her hands trembling and when she looked, she saw it was actually Killian’s clasped over her's. He was nervous.Killian looked away, and his free hands moved to his eyes.Mayeli’s

    “It’s going to be okay,” Killian’s deep, husky voice said to Mayeli for probably the hundredth time. He was hugging her tightly in an attempt to keep her from falling apart.Mayeli wept like a baby. What was going to happen to Bryelle? Seeing her all covered in blood and looking lifeless on the floor, almost took the life out of her.“Maybe you should take her out for some fresh air?” Tyse said. “She’d do better with it.”“I’m not going anywhere. Not when my daughter is on the surgical table,” Mayeli snapped between hiccups.Mayeli knew Tyse was just trying to be helpful, but she was feeling very crappy at moment and she couldn’t help it. Plus, his suggestion may not be as helpful as he had thought.“Should I get you water or something?” Diora asked. Her voice sounded worried and scared.“Yes, please,” Killian replied. He was surprisingly calm, or was he just trying to be calm for her sake? Bryelle was precious to both of them, especially him, since he had only chest met her fully. Th

    Mayeli blinked awake and took a few seconds to get familiar with her surroundings, then she remembered the afternoon with Killian and her cheeks burned.She turned around to his side of the bed was empty. There was a note lying beside her that was marked Mayeli. She smiled as she recognized Killian’s perfect handwriting.What is this man up to? Mayeli thought. Her heart was already racing. Her face threatened to split from ear-to-ear grin as she opened the piece of paper.Meet me on the balcony, the note read.Zuri flung her cream duvet away from her body and got out of bed. She felt both fear and the abandoned enthusiasm of a six-year-old child on Christmas morning. Was he about to do what she was thinking?She grabbed her purple robe, wore it and headed for the balcony. A table covered with at least five kinds of dinner options was in the middle of the balcony. Two chairs, a fancy tablecloth, and a bucket with a bottle of champagne on the side and the most gorgeous view of London. I

    Mayeli carefully placed the dishes in the sink filled with soapy water. She put on hand gloves and set to work.Bryelle was with her Mom, while Killian had gone outside the house to take a business call.Mayeli sighed. She had a lot on her mind. First, there was Bryelle, who was getting better, thankfully, but the Doctor said she had little chance of surviving the next two months. And then there was Killian and Shaila hating each other for some reason, which she had no idea about.A hand slipped around her waist, and she jumped, her back colliding with Killian’s broad chest. His sweet smell engulfed her, reminding her of musk and mist.“I didn’t hear you come in,” Mayeli said, smiling. His warmth spread over her body and along with it, hunger for him. Gosh, he still had his effect on her.Killian pecked her on the cheeks before releasing her. “I missed you.” His eyes slowly left her eyes and moved slowly to her exposed cleavage, making it burn suddenly.“Stop,” Mayeli laughed, hitti

She could see his eyes were bleary with unshed tears.“You said she might not make it?”Mayeli felt her heart slamming against her chest. What were they saying? That her baby won’t survive. No, nothing was going to happen to her baby, nothing was going to happen to Bryelle.“You said she had a 70% chance of healing. You said she could make it!” Mayeli screamed hysterically. Killian’s grip tightened around her.“Yes, I did say that, but the chances are slim at the moment. We’ve tried chemotherapy, but the tumours seem to be spreading rather than decreasing. At this point, she might be in serious pain soon, and if we continue treatment, it would only increase her pain”, the Doctor said, his face anxious and worried.“Are you asking us to give up?” Killian’s deep voice asked, betraying no emot

    Mayeli fumbled to the kitchen, falling multiple times before she reached it. She could barely think, her brain was numb, and her vision was blurry. She could hear her heart slamming against her chest as Killian’s words replayed in her head.“Bryelle was just diagnosed with Neuroblastoma.”How could that happen to her baby? How was it even possible? It was her fault; she had made her daughter’s life so traumatic, and now she had brain cancer. What was she going to do without her child? The thought of losing another child sent waves of shock pulsing through her. How could life be so cruel?“Mayeli?” Her mother asked in alarm when she saw her. She rushed to Mayeli’s side. “What’s wrong?”Mayeli sniffed, trying to stop the tears from pouring, but they just won’t stop. “Bryelle…Bryelle…she has cancer, Mom. It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault, Mom….”Her mom wrapped around her tightly. “It would be fine, my dear. It would be fine. We can get through this.”Mayeli held onto her mother as sh

    Killian froze as he stared at his doctor, his vision blurred by the tears that were pooling around his eyes. “She has what?”His doctor sighed. “Neuroblastoma, Mr Reon. I’m sorry”.Killian gulped. He was still trying to process the information his doctor had just revealed.Bryelle had cancer. This was something Killian saw in movies or heard about people, not something that was happening to his child.“Tha…that sounds bad…” His voice trailed off. Neuroblastoma it was a Cancer that originates from immature nerve cells. How long had Bryelle had it? What was going to happen? Why was this happening now when he had just got to know her?"This can't be happening to my child," Killian mumbled over and over again. “Maybe we should run more tests again, maybe it was a mistake”. His voice trembled as he spoke.“I ran the tests twice, Killian. However, if you want us to, I can run the tests again”.Doctor Gail’s office suddenly became too dark.
