“Ready?” I asked Kiara who was cleaning the mug of coffee she gave me earlier. She closed the water faucet and looked at me making me smile. I knew that she had told me that she was in the relationship for the money, and I would be lying if I said that I didn’t already know that. But I knew that there was a reason under it, she didn’t seem like the kind to care about excess money.
“Yes, just let me get my things…”
“Keep them in my office, I’ll lock it up. We’ll come back here after lunch” I said stopping her.
“Won’t that drag too much attention to us?”
“Not really, considering I’m going to fire the assistant and hire you instead of her. I don’t see where the issue would be there” I said casually making Kiara frown in confusion “what?”
“Why are you going to fire her? Come on, Thomas, the girl did nothing wrong

Kiara:“You didn’t!” Grace exclaimed when I told her what happened “then what happened?”“Nothing, he literally got up and refused to say another word. He didn’t even tell me why he said what he did, he just simply asked for the bill, got up. The two of us went back to work and he didn’t say a word to me the whole day” I said looking at my sister whose eyes widened upon hearing about what happened between Thomas and I. Just telling her that I went out for lunch with him caught her attention. The details that happened after that made her eyes widen to the point where I could have sworn that they would end up popping out of her head.“Well, at least he’ll hate you enough to leave you alone” Grace shrugged and I laughed. In all honesty, I didn’t like hurting him the way I did, nor did I like being as honest to tell him what happened. But I knew that I had no other option. The man wouldn&r

Thomas:Flashback:“I got married before I came to London. It was actually the reason why I came to London” Kiara said looking me in the eye. Her eyes held sadness as she spoke of the memory, I frowned as I felt an ache in my chest at hearing her words “mum knew of our relationship, but she didn’t approve of it. However, she did nothing about it. Well, that was until she found out about us getting married”“She knew where his family house was, which was where we were going to live at. She was furious, she hit me, said harsh words, and seeing my state. He filed a divorce” Kiara explained “mum wanted me to be with someone who had money, she didn’t want me to live like she has. I know that, but our relationship hit rock bottom since. So, when Grace and I came here, I looked at the bank account of whoever flirted with or ask me out. You were the perfect match to what mum wanted…&rdquo

Kiara:“Kiara, this has to stop” Grace snapped at me. It has been a month since Thomas decided to make my life hell, his mother had thankfully agreed to hire me a few times for extra income. But with two jobs, university, studies, and taking full shifts on both. I worked through the whole weekend at Mrs. Iris’s, and sometimes on Wednesdays if she had a gathering, university five days a week, and of course, full-time shifts at work.“Do I have another option, Grace? We need the bloody income! And it’s not like I can just quit my job at the company. They’re paying for my scholarship…”“Then drop it, drop the bloody scholarship…”“Excuse me?” I asked glaring at my sister who took a step back. She knew how much I wanted this, having stopped it for so many reasons. Did she really expect me to drop it now?“Kiara, that’s not what I meant…”&ldq

Thomas: “Fuck!” I hissed coming undone. My head laid on the girl’s chest as she softly ran her fingers through my hair. The two of us catching our breaths before I raised myself to look at her, me still being inside her. “Round two?” She asked raising an eyebrow and I smirked. I liked the way she thought, her green eyes met mine and she smiled pulling me down to kiss her lips as she clenched around me. Smirking into the kiss, I pulled out completely before bucking my hips forward and thrusting with a force that had her eyes widen, her mouth forming an O shape making me smirk. Kissing her jawline, I pulled out of her again and pushed back inside, this time in a more gentle manner. I wasn’t sure what the girl’s name was, but calling her baby girl seemed to satisfy her. Therefore, I stuck to it for the evening. Her eyes closed as she allowed pleasure to take over her body, smiling, I ran my fingers through her hair, gently removing a strand of her hair from her

Kiara:If I was annoyed before, then I was literally furious now.Not only has he made everything harder for me, he had made sure to make my life a living hell. The number of fights that I had with my sister for working too hard, the weight I’ve lost, my numerous breakdowns, and decreasing grades at school. The man had the audacity to kiss me, and in his mum’s house. The bloody woman who told me that she wanted me away from her son, and the coward rather than defending his relationship, rather than being honest, chose to call me a pawn he had for sex, he kissed me! The bloody damn…“Kiara?” Maria called snapping me out of my thoughts as I walked inside. She had prepared the tray of juices and wanted me to take them out, I took a deep breath and nodded at her. Taking the tray in my hand and putting up the best smile I could muster, though anyone with eyes would be able to see how forced it was. Thomas himself walked inside with a fr

Thomas:I paced around my apartment as Kiara’s words played in my mind. The fact that I had hurt her enough to have such an outburst broke me a lot more than I could think of admitting. The way she looked at me, the way her eyes met mine as if she felt like everything she’s dreamed about was broken by me. It hurt me a lot that I was the reason of her feeling this much pain. Even more knowing that I had done it purposely. Having kissed her didn’t make things any better either. Especially since this was technically our first kiss.Running my fingers through my hair, I dialed her number to try and call her. However, I was instantly directed to voicemail. She got in the bus almost an hour ago, she should’ve reached her house by now, the time of night is what worried me about her getting on the bus. She would have reached her house a while past midnight, and I didn’t even know where she lived as to know whether or not it was secure, and there w

Kiara:“You promise you won’t kill the lad?” I asked my sister who had her arms crossed over her chest as I got ready. Let me say that she was not very pleased with my decision, and I honestly feared that she would end up hitting the man on sight.“I make no promises”“Grace!”“What? You can’t expect me to be all loving and gentle after everything he made you face. No, the bastard is getting it from me” Grace said and I laughed shaking my head at my little sister who walked toward me. Her hands cupping my cheeks as she made me look at her “Kiara, don’t just hurt yourself for him. There are thousands of men who would die at your feet, you know that”I smiled at my younger sister, removing her hands from my cheeks before cupping hers and softly kissing her forehead “bless you beautiful, gentle heart”“You forgot lethal”“Don&rsquo

Thomas:“What is this place?” Kiara asked and I smiled opening the door for her. I had rented a small place at one of the gardens for the two of us to have lunch together in private, knowing that mum had done her best to separate us the first time she found out about us being together. I didn’t want her finding out about it just yet. Not at least until Kiara trusted being seen with me again and trusted me to begin with.“Well, knowing you, you’re still angry with me. You know about mum being the reason the two of us couldn’t be together, not to mention that you’re angry with me not fighting for you. Therefore, anything I’ll be doing now would be to make it up to you” I said not answering her question just yet.“You doing this won’t change anything, Thomas. You not fighting for me against your mum is something. However. That’s not what is upsetting me” Kiara said looking at me. I frowne

She smiled as he wrapped his arms around her from behind, hugging her tightly. Kissing her cheek from the back, his scruff scratching her cheek as she placed her palm on his cheek, gently pulling on his beard.It has been seven years since Kiara and Thomas got married, and both were expecting their second baby soon. Their first daughter was now five years old and was both jealous and excited to see her new baby sibling.“Heading to work?” Kiara asked her husband, turning around to face him. He pecked her lips, cupping her cheeks as he did.“Yes, mum is coming over later, she wants to see Elena” Thomas said looking his wife in the eye. Two years into their marriage, a while before Kiara gave birth to her daughter, Iris softened to the couple, and despite having her conflicts with Kiara; knowing that her and Thomas were happy only made her want them being together. As for Thomas’s uncle, the man loved Kiara and would come to spend hours with her, helping her when he knew that Iris would

Thomas:I laid on the couch with Kiara in my arms.“Thomas, you know that this isn’t going to be ending well” she said sadly. I knew what she was referring to. She was afraid of how her family and mine would react when they found out about us, but I couldn’t care less anymore. The two of us have struggled enough away from one another for me to care.“I cared about what they said before, and that only led me to making the biggest mistake of my life. I won’t be repeating that again, Kia” I said looking down at her. I kissed her temple and tightened my arms around her. She didn’t know how much I missed her, or how much it hurt me being away from her.“Yeah, but the things that are in stake this time are far worse than those that would be now. You have your company, I have my position, and I can’t deny how much Chris has done for me…”“Do you want this, Kiara?” I asked looking down at her. She frowned in confusion, looking up at me as to process my words “would you be willing to go all in

Kiara:“I did as you told me” I said walking inside the house to find Christopher, Grace, and mum setting the table.The pain I felt in my chest about the fact that I had hurt him the way I did, and intentionally did so, broke me. I didn’t even understand why it hurt me so much after what he and his family did, but seeing him as broken as he was broke my heart. The picture he sent me a long time ago, the picture was one that brought back memories to the time when we kissed. The time when he had hovered my body only to stop because he knew that I wasn’t ready yet.“Good, now he knows not to mess with you” Christopher said putting the plates on the table.“I just don’t want this to keep going, Christopher. I am here to work, not prove a point to a man who no longer means anything to me. With what I’m doing, it would seem like I care about his attention, and that is not something that I want to do”

Thomas:“Just why?” I asked Christopher. I couldn’t help but call the man after the meeting was over and I was sure that Kiara left the building. My eyes were fixed on the window as I watched her walk inside her company’s car.“Why what exactly?” Christopher asked, his tone menacing. The man knew exactly what I was talking about, and yet, he was questioning me about this. I had begged him to show me where she was, I tried to apologize to her, to see her for just one second. But no matter what I said, he and her sister denied me that; I couldn’t even blame them for it after what happened.“Of all people that you brought to face me. You sent the one woman you…”“You of all people aren’t one to discuss who I send to represent me. If I sent Kiara, it is because she is my representative, and she would always be from now on. Whether it is to face you, or to face my other business partners;

Kiara:My heart raced against my ribcage as I looked at Thomas as he spoke.The way he stood confidently as if he ruled the world broke me more than I could describe.Why?Because I felt like a lost kitten in front of him.Memories of what we went through played in my mind throughout the whole meeting, and I found it both harder to breath, or focus. However, I kept my eyes on him as he spoke, writing whatever he said, his voice making my heart race despite me not wanting to react to it.It was two hours later when he was finally done with the meeting and everyone in the room was dismissing themselves. I stood up to fix my things only for a hand on top of mine to stop me making me flinch “wait”I quickly removed my hand from under his. My blue eyes meeting his chocolate brown ones. The brown eyes which I’ve grown to force myself to forget. But it seemed like looking at them returned me back to memory lane. The urge to

Thomas:“Thomas, love, is everything alright? You’re late for work” mum said walking inside the house. Her eyes met mine before she scanned the house for any woman here or there, I playfully rolled my eyes at her behavior and wrapped an arm around her, hugging her tightly.“I am fine, mum, and no, I am not late for work. If you’re checking for a woman here or there, there isn’t one. Don’t worry” I said glaring at her and Uncle Xavier. They have been at this since Kiara left London, and if I said that it didn’t start annoying me; then I would be lying.“Thomas, when are you going to stop treating us as if we were your enemies? We are your family, and if we’re doing something; it is to keep you safe” mum said looking me in the eye.“By safe you mean lying to me, and plotting a scam with dad, right? Well, good job doing so. Now, if you two don’t have anything else to tell me,

Kiara:I sat on the floor hugging my knees as I cried.My weight couldn’t even carry me further away from the door, therefore, I leaned toward the door as I sobbed my eyeballs out.How could he have believed that I would be thinking of such a thing?“Kiara?” Grace’s voice forced me to pull my head up. Especially when she ran toward me and sat on her knees beside me, cupping my cheeks as she forced me to look at her “love, what happened?”“Grace, try helping her up, I’ll make her something warm to drink” I heard her boyfriend’s, aka boss’s, voice.“Come on, love, you heard Christopher, let’s get you to the living room” she said softly pulling me up to stand on my feet which were barely lifting me. She helped me walk to the living room, my vision blurry from the tears that fell from my eyes.We sat down on the couch before Grace wrapped her arm around me

Thomas:My vision blurred as I processed what Kiara had said.Mum who was in front of me froze as she took in my angered expression.“Kiara, love, where are you?” I asked trying to calm my voice, she was already as nervous as she was, I didn’t need to add to the burden. I waited until she responded, my eyes fixed on the wall in front of as I avoided mum’s eyes.“Still in front of the building, they’re bringing out my things…” she broke down again and I hummed in response.“Love, stay where you are, I am coming to get you. I will not take no for an answer right now” I said nodding at mum to follow me. She didn’t question me and the two of us walked toward the elevator, though her eyes remained fixed on me as she waited for me to hang up for her to understand what was happening.“Okay, I’ll be here”“It’s going to be fine, baby, I just want

Kiara:“Good morning, Mr. Adrian” I said entering the office. The man smiled as he looked up at me from the stack of papers he was reading. Having hired his old secretary back, I knew that he was doing this to make Thomas think that his stay here was a mistake. Everyone that’s been fired has been returned to his or her position, and it was suddenly like Mr. Adrian never even left.It was something that I didn’t appreciate the father doing to his son, especially after everyone had started prospering in their new positions. The company had gained more than it has lost, and this time everyone here knew that it was simply because the father was acting as if he was challenging his son. Grace had told me to be careful, this time Mr. Adrian could do anything to break his son. If he had started with his workers, he could do something to me if he knew that there was anything between his son and I.To say that we were trying to protect his relation
