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.

    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 and Diora walked through the noisy crowd. They had come to chill out after the day's work. 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

    PhoneMayeli pulled her hands away from Killian’s hold. “Let go of me!”She yelled, drawing a little stare their way.He ignored her and continued walking until he reached his black Rolls-Royce Phantom. 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. He gave Mayeli a last glare before he t

    Truce typed in the door code, and the huge, glass door slipped open. Mayeli was still marvelled at how huge and lovely Killian and his friend’s house was, though it was her fourth time being there.“Come in”, Killian said, pulling her with him. He was holding her hands, wow.He had taken off his suit jacket and his tie, leaving only his white shirt. The first four buttons of his shirt were left undone, showing off his well-built chest, and hairy chest.Mayeli kept reminding herself that she was here on a mission, and she could not fall for Killian’s very tempting body, though she gladly would.They stepped into the large, breathtaking living room. The interior decoration had been redone, Mayeli noticed. The walls were now painted a deep shade of charcoal green and cream. White sofas with green pillows were carefully arranged, and cream curtains hung on the windows. The house looked heavenly.“Hey Mayeli”, Tyse said, rising from one of the sofas with a surprised smile on his handsome f

    Mayeli silently followed Killian to the kitchen. When they reached, he opened the door and headed straight for the cupboard, he was ignoring her. From how precisely his hands moved, putting out pans and all, she was sure he cooked often, which was quite surprising.Her gaze strayed to the kitchen island where he had kept his phone, and she thought of how to get to the phone without him noticing.His kitchen was spacious and lovely. The walls were painted sparkling white, and three small, golden chandeliers hung from the ceiling. In the middle of the kitchen was a large cabinet with its top painted white, and the body painted a dark shade of green, and three white chairs were arranged around it. All other shelves in the kitchen were also painted dark green, matching the rest of the house. A part of the kitchen wall, overlooking the garden, was transparent, giving a breathtaking view.“What do you want to eat?” Killian asked, finally breaking the silence.“I don't have anything in min

Just last night. She was going crazy right now.She tried to tell herself she had no right to be jealous, but it didn't make her feel any better.Mayeli had been going through Killian's phone, looking for clues that would point to the fact that Killian was the man behind the blackmailing text messages, but she had found none. She had told herself he was probably good at covering his tracks, and was about to drop his phone when Laura 's message popped up.“What are

    Mayeli increased the volume of Built To Be Bad by Grace Gachot and Alex playing in Truce’s white Bugatti Centodieci. At the moment, she resonated well with the song.“Who was that we saw on our way out?” Mayeli asked Truce. A professional-looking middle-aged man had walked past them when they were leaving the house.“His therapist”, Truce replied simply. Killian had a therapist?Truce threw Mayeli a side glance which she gladly ignored. After a while, he let out a sigh, and turned off the music.“What?” Mayeli mumbled, feeling exhausted.“Can I ask why you both are hell bent on denying the intense feeling you have for each other?” Truce asked.Mayeli looked away. “What feelings?”“Mayeli”.“He might not like me. I might like him so much, but he doesn’t feel the same way about”, Mayeli said, letting out a doubt she had long been holding on to.Truce gave her a look that said “Have you gone crazy?” “Mayeli, I have never seen Zed look at any woman the way he looks at you.

    Three daysKillian stared at the glass of water in front of him as he contemplated on his therapist, doctor Ron’s question.“What happened, Killian?” Doctor Ron repeated.Killian sipped his water, before looking up at Doctor Ron. “We had a fight”.“And why does that bother you so much to the point of making you throw a tantrum and have nightmares?”“Fuck, I don't know”.“Do you have feelings for this woman, Mayeli? Only that would explain why you're so hurt about fighting with her”.Killian stared at the huge, golden Rolex wall clock in his study. At the moment, he was willing to accept that what he felt for Mayeli was more than just mere sexual attraction. He liked her, and as much as he hated to admit, he liked her a lot. “I like her”, he replied simply. “But she's with Nixen, and I don't want to hurt him”.Doctor Ron took off his glasses, revealing a pair of dreamy amber eyes. For a man of fifty-one, he had a very strong and athletic body. “I see that makes everything complicated”

    Jayden’s POVI picked up the book on her reading desk “Passions of Emma”, as I waited for her to change. I smiled. I didn't know she was the book type. Jovita and I were more alike than I thought.When she finally stepped out, my eyes scanned her body, while she blushed. Fuck, I could never get enough of her.“Let's go”, she said, leading the way.I laughed, grabbing her slim waist and pulling her to me. I scooped her into my arms, surprising both her and myself. I could barely think straight when it came to her. I couldn't remember ever loving anyone this way.She kept protesting, but I ignored her, and only put her down when we reached the kitchen.“So what are you making?” I asked, already missing the feel of her soft body on my arms.“Patience Jayden, you can have her all night”, I chastised myself.“Chicken stir fry and meatloaf. It's quite late so I'm not making much”, she replied, taking out a pan. I still couldn't believe she could cook and I was kinda looking forward to tast

    Mayeli rolled her eyes before she picked up her sister's call. Shaila had been calling her nonstop. Who gave a person six calls at just 6 am?“Hello?” Mayeli said into the mouthpiece, carefully rolling out of her bed to avoid waking Bryelle up. She walked to her bedroom balcony. The gush of wind that hit her instantly took away any ounce of sleep she still felt.“Have you seen the headlines?” Shaila screamed. Mayeli's eyes narrowed. Her sister was mostly always dramatic, but this was quite extreme.“What is in the headlines?” Mayeli asked, strolling to the bedside table to pick up her laptop.She drew aside her curtains, letting warm sun-ray bath her room through the floor-to-ceiling windows.“I don't think it's something I can tell you over the phone”. It was Shaila's way. Make her curious, then leave her hanging.With a sigh, Mayeli opened her MacBook Pro. She went to her browser, and typed the words “Killian Reon”.Before she clicked on the enter button, she decided to make a cup

    Mayeli sat behind after Tyse had left her, chatting with some of her colleagues at work who had been invited to the party. She had been surprised to see them, but she was glad. They had helped her get her mind off Killian.“Can I talk to you for a second?” A familiar voice asked Mayeli. Nixen.Mayeli was a bit surprised. She hadn't seen Nixen in a while. She didn't know he was invited to the party. Of course, he would have been invited. He was Killian's brother after all.Mayeli managed a smile, before she excused herself from her group, and followed Nixen.They stopped by a less crowded spot.“It's been a while, Nixen”, Mayeli said.Mayeli ran his hands through his now curly hair, and the curls fell back on his forehead. He was dressed in a black Brioni suit with a white shirt inside. The first three buttons of his shirt were left open, revealing his well-built hairy chest. Mayeli took in Nixen’s new hairstyle with a smile. He was trying to look like Killian.“Mayeli, I have missed

    Mayeli's heartbeat was racing heartbeats she watched Killian lower his lips to hers. Their lips were an inch apart when the twisting of the bathroom door handle interrupted them.Mayeli quickly pushed Killian away and adjusted her hair. She turned to see Killian standing with a confused expression.“He shouldn't be here, it's the ladies' room. How would you explain when the headline carries it tomorrow? He's Killian Reon after all”, Mayeli's inner voice whispered. For once, she agreed perfectly with that voice.Quickly, she pulled Killian and shoved him into one of the restrooms. Then she took out her phone, and leaned on the restroom door, pretending to be busy chatting.“Hi”, the middle-aged woman who walked in said with a smile. She was plus-sized, and her black V-neck gown could barely contain her shape.“Hey”, Mayeli replied, managing a smile.“Are you waiting for someone?” The lady inquired.“No”, Mayeli answered curtly, hoping she'd do her thing and go away quickly.

    Mayeli stared at the rolls of cars parked in front of Killian's house as Nathan eased his black Phantom into one of the very few parking spaces available. The parking area was filled with several expensive-looking cars. From the look of things, there was a high turnout for Tyse's party.Mayeli wasn't surprised. Tyse was a young, renowned, and very handsome multi-billionaire. He'd have a lot of friends. Besides, he was Killian Reon’s best friend. That added to the popularity.When Nathan killed the engine, Mayeli hurriedly opened her car door and stepped out, walking towards the entrance of Killian's house without waiting for her two companions. She wearing the dress Killian had bought her and she was about to walk into his house. She didn't want to walk in with Nathan by her side or worse, holding hands with him. Killian was already angry at her, she didn't want to add to it.“Don't an in such, Mayeli. I know you can't wait to see Killian, but you don't have to leave us behind”, Nico

    Killian clasped his Samsung Galaxy Z Fold tightly, resisting the urge to call her. He had been doing that for a while now. Mayeli was messing with his head. First she liked him, now he liked her, she wasn't interested in him. It didn't make sense. And now they were other guys? Huff, what was he going to do?“You said you wouldn't contact her first”, Tyse said, lying on Killian's bed. “I love your room, Zed”.Killian ran his hands through his hair, letting out a frustrated sigh. “I don't know what to do, Cas”.“I'm sorry you got rejected, but I think you should let her be”.“She said she needed time to think. I didn't get rejected”.Tyse chuckled, sitting up. “That's also a way of saying I'm not interested”.Killian’s already depressed mood dampened more. Why would Mayeli reject him? They spent quality time together, and she had been happy, so what was her reason?“Perhaps she likes the Nathan dude. Didn't you say they were so close?” Tyse asked.Killian’s head throbbed at the memory.

    Mayeli stared at the glass of cocktail in front of her. It was Friday, and she and Nicole were hanging out at their favourite garden spot. She had been badly craving a cocktail, so Nicole allowed her just a glass and nothing more.“You should eat your food, Mayeli, it's delicious. Especially the crabs”, Nicole said with a chuckle.“I just want another glass of cocktail”, Mayeli mumbled, giving Nicole a pout.Nicole rolled her eyes. “You can keep staring at the food then”.“As you wish”.“Mayeli, you should eat your food right now!"“Fine. Why are you so scared?” Mayeli grumbled, taking a bite of her sandwich.They were silent for a while, and Nicole tapped consistently on her screen, laughing silently. “Who's that?” Mayeli asked.“Nobody”.Mayeli adjusted the loose strands of hair that were flapping over her face. The day was quite windy. “You should stop laughing aloud then, you're only making me curious”.“Whatever”, Nicole mumbled absent-mindedly.Mayeli’s phone beeped, and she pi

    Mayeli wiped away the tears falling down her cheeks, they just wouldn't stop coming. “Mayeli, what's wrong?” Killian asked for the umpteenth time. He looked like a mother hen unsure of how to take care of its chicks. He was driving her to her house.Mayeli looked away, wondering whether to tell him. He would be so angry. He would yell, and he'd probably not want to see her face ever again.Killian pulled into her driveway, killed the engine, and came over to open her door for her.“Hey come, let's get you inside”, he mumbled, taking her hands.He led her to the kitchen, sat her on a stool and proceeded to the fridge. He took a bottle of water and poured her a glass, giving it to her. His face still had the anxious look, and it was funny because she had never seen Killian anxious.He cupped her cheeks in his hands. “Are you feeling better?” He asked.Mayeli nodded, staring at the glass of water, and building the courage to open up to him.“Good”, Killian mumbled, then dipped his head

    Nathan rubbed Mayeli's belly gently, watching the scan.“How do you feel?” He asked Mayeli.“It's a bit cold, but I feel fine”, Mayeli replied.Killian took Mayeli's hands. “I didn't know doctors were this interactive with their patients”, he mumbled.What was wrong with him? Mayeli thought with a chuckle.“You've been complaining nonstop Mr Reon, I think you might as well take over my role”, Nathan fired back.The two men had been arguing consistently for a while now. “Well, I guess you're better at the job”, Killian replied, looking away.“At least you know that”, Nathan grumbled.“What have we got? Is it a boy or a girl?” Mayeli asked, interrupting the argument.Nathan turned to her with a teasing smile that showed off his dimple. “What do you think?” He asked, rubbing her hair lightly.“Now you would make me guess?” Mayeli asked laughing. It had been so long since she saw Nathan, and she had forgotten how playful he was. He always seemed to make a situation lighter no matter how
