"If I didn't, I wouldn't be Natalie." The lady says. Killian sits back down on the sofa. "Well then, do your job." Killian says. "She'll brief you in on what she wants." Natalie folds her hand fan with a flick of her hand to the side and walks to me. Her eyes adorn my body and she words her mea
- KILLIAN - Being away from her when she is just in my reach is one of the hardest thing yet. I groan. I can't even speak to her and haven't for hours. The wait is killing me!! I stare at my phone situated between both of my hands which rests on my thighs. I feel like flinging this object. I
"As much as I want to know why you called, I need the company. So let's talk." "When you crave me like this, it makes me want to leave. Unless you're willing to... let me see, plea further?" My jaw hardens. "Don't push it." A laugh echoes in my ears. "Was worth a shot." I'm at the sectio
"Certain information is easier to derive than others. Patience Killian. We have so much to do and finding out who S is has been put on pause." "Do you at least have a gender?" "That's not for you to know, brother." He does and he's keeping it a secret. Fabulous. "Well, I guess I should th
- HAZEL - I never knew there were more to designs till today. Seeing this woman and these people work their ass off while putting things on me for me really amuses me. Knowing whatever outfit I decide on will be made today on such short notice really has me stunned. I can't even imagine how str
Natalie turns to face me. "Feisty. Quite the character." She says, unbothered by what I just said. I roll my eyes. "If you do your job quietly, this customer will be gladder." I say turning around. I don't want to see her anymore so I focus my gaze on my body. A hand lands on my shoulder. "With
- KILLIAN - The door leading to an enclosed, grand office closes. The lights are off and the curtains are shut close yet it's well ventilated and I can make view of the objects in this room. These walls are also sound proof so I'm sure Natalie wants to talk about something dire. Natalie stop
Natalie sighs. "I'll leave if you want me to. Thank you for offering to do Hazel's fit on quick notice." I murmur. "Wait, come here, son." Natalie calls, walking to me. She pulls me in for a hug. I needed to bend my head to rest on her shoulder but the moment my head touches her shoulder, Nata
- HAZEL - I am awake alright. More awake than ever. I can’t help but shake the feeling of nervous anticipation at meeting his brother. This is someone Killian always talked about. His only family. The one he raised. What if Liam doesn’t like me? What if, that happens, and he somehow manages to
- KILLIAN - The plane landed. I turn my head to the side to look at the lady next to me. Laid on the sofa and asleep in my private jet is Hazel. Does she always sleep during long journeys in planes or was she just extremely tired or is this her way of responding to her wound? I can’t tell, it’s my
“I’m not innocent.” I murmur. He stands up and walks to me. Killian’s arms are on the ends of my bed, supporting his form as he leans towards me. His face is just inches apart from mine, forcing me to gaze at him. “To me, you are.” His lips locks with mine, devouring my mouth in a short kiss. When
- HAZEL - I hate being in a hospital. I hate waking up to body aches and I hate not being able to move without the supervision of a health professional. I hate being connected to drips and taking several medications daily. I hate perceiving the air here. I just hate being ill. There’s nothing fun
- KATE - I’m itching to figure something out but I can’t decipher what it is. That lady has not gotten back to me yet. I have no way to reach her and I have no clue on anything but I can’t help but replay the incident that unfolded between us on Monday versus what happened on Wednesday in my min
- KILLIAN - After so long, I finally am faced with the opportunity to meet and put an end to my parents’ murderer and I cannot say I am thrilled. Not that I feel any less rage, quite the opposite, I am burning with fury at this person but I hate the situation that led to this point. I was ready
I scoff. Did this human go through my phone? “Did you respond to anyone?” “Nope.” My eyes widens at that answer and I shoot my back off the bed. They would be so worried, my goodness! “But I did talk with a parent over the phone.” He adds. Tch. Why not say this sooner? I rest my back back on
- HAZEL - I hear the thud of solid shoe soles echo in my ears. This makes my brows crease. Even a sound so faint makes its way to my ears and actually bleeds the heck out of it. I let out a breath through my mouth. For some reason, it feels as though my mouth is in some sort of confinement b
- KILLIAN - So many times, I always thought the ones who would cause me pain and problems were my enemies. Those who I’ve brought down and those who want The Iva Empire. I never thought It would be someone I was once acquainted with deeply. I never imagined it to be Asami. And it’s funny becaus
