“I don’t, I don’t get what you are saying” Heather scoffed angrily.
“You must be mistaken me for someone else Sir. I came for the design offer” Heather added, chuckled and sighed out imperceptibly. “I know this is really a lot to take in but trust me, I really searched for you”“Searched for me? Why-why would you search? Oh for the job right?” “When Helena told me about your pregnancy, I searched for you bt you were gone” “What are you saying Sir? I don’t think you know what you are saying” Heather tried to distract him from where he was getting to. “Heather Evans, we had an unprotected sex on the morning of the 16th day of October 2017. I gave you 150, 000 bucks for the sex. It was an accidental sex” Killian narrated and there was silence in the room for few seconds. They were both staring into each other’s eyes.“Look I really…“So that’s it huh!?“That’s exactly why you invited me here right? Because you found out about me on social media”“After five years of our accidental stuff and you still remember me, so what? Kudos to your smart brain?” Heather chuckled angrily.“Mind you, he’s not your son because I have had more sex and sex and sex after our accidental sex” she bawled.“I’m not after the boy or you, it’s just…“Oh really? And you want me to believe that?”“You didn’t invite me for the dress design did you? You only invited me so I can became your slave who you can easily have sex with any time you want and pay her off with some dollars? Well I’m rich now and my libido is dead” she bawled again.“I am rich too and trust me, you are not taking this boy away from me”“No! No! Yeah that’s it”“That’s what?”“I want us to start all over” he said and Heather chuckled. “No! I mean, the job is entirely yours but I want us to start all over”“Start all over? We never even had a thing. It was just a sex job I did. Helena should be the one that should have something to do with you” Heather blurted and the door opened. Sophia walked inside and saw Heather and Killian staring at each other, eye ball to eye ball.“Uhmm! Excuse me, is this supposed to be the interview? Is this how an interview works or am I missing something?” Sophia was startled. “Brother, are you begging her for something?” Sophia asked Killian, trying to understand what was really going on in the environment. Killian sighed heavily and sat well on the sofa, staring at Sophia.“Okay” Sophia breathed heavily too. “Umm! This is the coffee Miss Heather” Heather stood up from the sofa immediately and headed towards the door angrily.“Miss Heather?”“You shouldn’t have gone for that coffee. I never requested for a coffee” “At least take the stuffs I bought please, he will probably need them” Killian said but she ignored him and left with Harry. Sophia stared at the door and then to Killian.“What was that Killian?”“I bought her some chips, cereals and crisps”“Why would you buy her some chips, cereals and crisps?”“She has a kid” Killian shrugged.“Yeah and she’s rich. I’m sure she travels with her credit card” Sophia kept staring at him. “What is it Killian?”“She’s my wife” Killian said and Sophia laughed for a while and frowned.“Are you insane Killian?” “Yes I am Sophia”“Why would you be insane seeing her and why was she staring at you like you are already her husband? She probably has a husband in Russia”“No she doesn’t. I’m very sure she’s still a single mother”“Killian, what went on here while I was away?” She continued.“I have a past with Heather. It was five years ago and I’m sure I’m not supposed to be telling you this” “Shit!”“Yeah”“You own that boy?”“Accidentally? Yes I own that kid” “So this proves it all. This proves why she saw scared to meet you. I should have stopped her if I knew this earlier” “Thank God you don’t”“You are an asshole Killian” “So what do you think about it?”“Riley knows about this?”“Riley?”“You are currently dating Riley Chang. Did you forget again?”“Oh! yeah Riley” Killian recalled and Sophia sighed unbelievably.“Is she supposed to know about this? Is that really necessary at all?”“You just called Heather your wife seconds ago. What will happen to Riley and this company if that really happens?” “Remember that Riley and her Dad are the great source of this company and I wouldn’t mess that up if I were you” Sophia mentioned and took a sip of the coffee.“So what? I’ll just let them walk away after finally getting them in my arms. It’s been five years Sophia”“Accidental stuff or the biggest company in the whole of Beijing, choose wisely” Sophia said and he was speechless.“So this is actually why you wanted to make her your manager after the governor’s daughter’s wedding? Is this why you haven’t married Riley after engaging her for four years?”“I just can’t let her go. I know we made mistakes but we can still make amendments and things will be great again” “And then you’ll marry her right?” Sophia said and chuckled lightly.“Won’t you want me to marry her? She’s one of the best in making wedding dresses” Killian sat up from the couch and headed towards the door.“Killian where do you think you are going right now?”“I wanna know where she’s gonna stay in Beijing”“What do you mean, w-we booked an apartment for her stay here in Beijing”“I don’t think she’s gonna stay there”“Then you can just call her and ask her that”“She’s not gonna answer the phone call either” he replied and his phone on the glass table began to read. Sophia peeped at the screen and sighed.“It’s Riley”“Just tell her that I’m not here. Say it politely please” he snubbed and left. Heather met Ben at the clothing mall and smiled lightly to him.“Hi!” a white pretty and slim lady spoke behind her and she turned immediately. The lady was wearing a pink track trouser and a baggy shirt.“Hi, nice to meet ya”“You look confused and new. Are you new here?” she stared at Heather and scoffed.“I’m Riley”“Hi Riley, I just dropped few minutes ago. I came for a special offer”“Are you Miss Heather from Russia?”“Oh my God!”“Yeah you are the only special designer we are expecting for a special and quite expensive job” Riley said to Heather and chuckled broadly. “Have you met the proprietor yet?” I heard he’s not at his office” “Yeah, No! I haven’t met him yet” Heather lied, staring at her. Suddenly, a little girl about Harry’s age, came closer to Harry and grabbed his wrist.“Hey!” Heather stared at the little girl and the girl stared at Heather with a smile on her innocent round face.“I wanna play with him” the little girl said to Heather and Riley chuckled.“Come on Molly, you play too much with almost kid that comes to this mall” “That’s cool though” Heather smiled to her.“Killian and I love her so much. She’s our daughter” Riley smiled.“Daughter?”“Yeah! Killian and I are engaged. We will get married soon” Riley added.Killian rushed out from his office, down the stairs and met Riley and Heather standing opposite each other at the clothing mall. Riley smiled the moment she saw him while Heather forced a smile on her angry face.“Sophia said you are not here” she continued smiling and grabbed his left arm. Killian stared at Heather but he looked away. “Yeah I was with Ben at the stores. We were checking on the delivered materials” “Oh my Killian, you don’t have to be involving and stressing yourself on such things. You have people who can definitely do that for you”“You are the boss here” Riley added“I just needed to do something. I didn’t touch anything though, I was only walking and talking” he faked a smile to her.“So how was it?”“It was stress free and the materials are all good”“I ummm, I gotta go, I’m sorry for interrupting” Heather interrupted and they both looked at her.“You are going?”“Where are you gonna go? I thought you are gonna stay at the apartment the company booked for y
Jane caught Heather on her right hand and she turned immediately. Jane left her arm and stood at akimbo, staring at Heather.“Hi!”“Who are you?”“I’m Jane”“Okay Jane, why are you stopping me?”“You have to come back please”“Wha-what are you saying?”“You have to come back to Strings. They sent me to fetch you back before you board the Aero plane” Jane said loudly, chuckling and staring at Harry.“Mom said we are gonna be back. Right Mom?” Harry looked at Heather.“Yeah we were gonna be back. I only came to grab some stuffs”“This is an airport, not a supermarket.“Yeah! Really?”“Yeah” “Who sent you to fetch us back? Killian?”“My Mom”“Your Mom?”“Sophia!” Jane mentioned and Heather was surprised.“Oh! cool” “Yeah!” Jane sighed.“I don’t actually think that I’m going back with you. Am really sorry but the situation is kind of out my league and I don’t wanna hurt myself any longer”“I hope you understand what I’m saying?”“No!” Jane exhaled and got Heather staring at her.“I
Thirty minutes later, a cab dropped Heather and Sophia at an apartment.“Your bags are inside already” Sophia said on their way in. “Thank you for that”“So what do you think?” “Think about what?” Heather wore off the white gown she was wearing.“About what Killian told you” Sophia said and unlocked the door. Heather and Harry walked in first before Sophia. “I think he’s lying to me about all the shit he said”“What?” Sophia scoffed unbelievably.“If you thought he was lying, why the hell did you come back?”“Killian lied to me and I wanna know why he did that. I wanna know what really happened to him”“Really?” Sophia scoffed again and dropped the contained bags on the table in the dinning. “Or do you wanna tell me instead?” Heather looked at Sophia, hanging her dress on the hanger behind the door.“Are you teasing me Miss Heather?”“No I’m just concerned about your brother who might become my husband one day, that’s all”“Are you sure? Or are planning on how to fix yourself
7:45, Heather arrived the lobby and was welcomed by Ben. She was wearing a thick red gown and a black hill shoe. Ben was surprised when he saw her. He was carrying two glasses of wine. “Oh mamacita, you look just like Anna” Ben stood beside her and stared at her head to toe. “You look good too Ben” Heather smiled to him.“I’m glad you came” he handed one glass of wine to Heather.“There are many people in here already?”“Nobody wanna wanna miss Strings festival in Beijing. Beijing worships us and that’s a secret”“Festival? Sophia said it’s only cloth showcasing”“Cloth showcasing festival” he scoffed and Heather chuckled.“Are you okay Miss Heather?” Ben asked after a short pause.“This place is really beautiful. The lights, stage and everything” Heather said, looking around the lobby and Ben scoffed imperceptibly.“Yeah, the stage is for the models. Some of them are already testing their designs”“That’s awesome”“I can’t wait to see you as a model, walking down the stage, smi
“Okay I’m gonna ask you another question but after that, promise me that you are gonna sleep” Jane said and Harry nodded off.“You can’t sleep?” she asked and Harry nodded in.“It’s fine but I’m gonna ask you the question”“What if you wake up one day and found out that you are the only person in the world, what will you do?”“I will steal a PS5 and GTA from a game shop”“Are you kidding me? Games?” Jane chuckled and Harry smiled.“I like games”“Yeah every boy likes games. What’s your favorite color Harry?”“Green”“Green? Why? I thought normal likes blue or yellow while freaks and weird ones likes red and black”“I’m not in the parts you classified” Harry responded.“So tell me, why do you like the green color?”“My favorite superhero is Green Lantern. I hate Superman but I love the fact that green light hurts him” “Okay you are a villain right now” Jane peeped at him and he giggled.“What about Iron Man? Every kid loves Iron Man”“My Mom likes Iron Man”“So your Mom is a kid? Is t
8am, Killian met Sophia at her home. Sophia was arranging breakfast at the dining table when Killian arrived.“Killian? What are you doing here this early?” Sophia was startled when she saw him holding his black suit on his left arm.“Good morning to you too” Killian scoffed and dropped the suit on the arm of the iron chair in front of the table. “I checked you up last night but you were nowhere to be found. Where did you go last night Killian?”Sophia asked and headed to the fridge.“Where’s Jane?” he asked slowly and sat on the chair he dropped his suit on. “In her room, dressing up for school. Why do you ask?” she brought a container of milk to the table.“Someone is threatening Heather. They are trying to blackmail her” Killian whispered and Sophia paused.“And you think it’s Jane?”“She’s smart”“So you were at Heather’s apartment last night huh?” Sophia asked and chuckled.“What were you guys doing? Having sex?” “The stalker is stalking her and the kid. She’s uncomfortable
7:10am, Jane’s home. “Jane you gotta be fast, the luxury bus is about to leave” Sophia said loudly. “I’m coming I’m coming” She ran out from her room hastily. She arrived the dining and grabbed a doughnut.“Bye mum, Hi Killian”“Hi Jane”“Kisses baby. Take care and don’t bully anyone” Sophia added and Jane ran out of the house and ran straight into the bus. She sighed heavily immediately she hopped into the bus. With her beautiful blue eyes, she searched for an empty chair in the bus while some students were staring. Her eyes caught the last empty seat at the last row and she hurried to it and sat down. Smiling, she brought out her face through the window and the cool and sweet morning wind kept blowing her face and hair. As she was enjoying the beautiful view and morning wind, some old memories of her and her late dad started to flow in her mind.“That is risky” a male voice brought her attention back to the bus.A sweet voice. She turned immediately and had an eye contact with t
9:32am, Heather and Helena were still gazing at each other. Ben peeped at their faces slightly and cleared his throat.“Wait! You know each other?” Ben asked and Helena turned to the guards with her.“Wait outside, I’m fine” she mumbled to them and they strutted out of the mall. Helena returned her eyes back Heather, glaring at her.“I’m gonna give you guys some space to talk about the cloth” Ben mumbled and flitted out after a short imperceptible sigh. “What are you doing here Heather? Do you know the trouble you are in?”“Turns out that I am the special designer for your special wedding Your Highness” Heather grumbled.“This is insane”“What is insane? That I am now a successful lady?”“Lady? Did you just call yourself a lady?” “Oh spare me that harassment”“You shouldn’t have come back to Beijing Heather. This is very wrong and risky for you”“Risky? For me or for you?” Heather muttered.“This is not a joke Heather, this is not a dainty. This is full of pains and regret and it is
