Chapter: Chapter NineMia“You left without saying goodbye.” The text says, the simple text was filled with sadness and loss. It was Fabian. I haven’t spoken to him since like forever and I have ignored his texts— again.Well, I liked Fabian there is no denying that and I have been a bad friend. Shoot! I have to call Sandra too to fill her in on the situation. So much has changed, since she left me in wellsbury and I hadn’t gotten the chance to talk to her. “I will call you as soon as I can.” I typed in quickly before putting my phone away. I am so exhausted and a bit hungry since I couldn't have a nice dinner—thanks to Killian.The driver was long, sat in awkward silence throughout.“We are here.” Killian's voice jolted me awake as he shook my shoulder lightly. I looked around, my brain still foggy but I got out of the car gently.We stood in front of a big modern mansion. A grand water fountain—an elaborate figure sculpted in white stone stood proud. Crystal white water cascades from the top. The wa

Chapter: Chapter Eight“Don’t mind my son, he can be hard-headed sometimes.” Mom said to Killian as he straightened his suit before sitting down. That was something else. What has come over Scott? Why is he so pissed at Killian than I am? I didn’t sit around to know why he was saying to Mom before I ran after Scott. I walk the short passage that leads to Scott's room.I peeked into the room to see Scott sitting on the edge of the bed, rapidly tapping his feet on the floor— he does that whenever he is pissed.“Can I come in?” I asked, grabbing his attention. I didn’t wait for his reply, I walked up to his bed and sat beside him.“Why does it have to be Killian, is it because he has money?” His question took me aback. What!“Scott, this is between Killian and me,” I said flatly as I stared at him. “You have no right to discuss whether it is good for me or not.” “And you think he likes you, huh?” He scoffs, averting his gaze to his shelf filled with his sports and science trophies.“Well, I can’t deny a chi

Chapter: Chapter 6Chapter 7Killian MaxwellI drove slowly into the narrow street. The sidewalk was filled with junkies and hookers, some bird-calling as we drove deeper into the street. God! I have a lot of work to do but instead I am stuck with a crazy emotional woman that I have to take care of. She cannot be trusted to take care of herself. I sighed deeply as I glanced to my right side to see Mia fidgeting in her seat. “Stop doing that.” I bit out as I looked back on the road. I felt her gaze, as she looked at me intensely—- if only eyes could kill.“What am I doing?” “You are shaking and it is distracting.” “We could go another time. I don’t want to deal with this, at least not now.” She pleaded quietly as she batted her eyelashes— unintentionally I think. She leaned further into the seat as if to make herself tinier. Fuck!“We have a lot to do tomorrow.” It was the only answer I could muster at that time.Silence settled around us as I turned to park in front of Mia’s childhood home.The fron

Chapter: Chapter 6Mia“Scott! What did you do?”“What?” He asked. He sounded genuinely confused.“Why did you do this to me? I wanted to start a life here but no. You want me to stay there so you will keep playing the almighty big brother.” I said not caring that my tone was harsh.He deserved it after what he put me through.“I am not coming back. Get that into your thick skull.”“I genuinely have no idea what you are talking about.” He replied.“You made my boss fire me from my place of work. Right? You made the landlord kick me out..”I started to say but he cut me short. “Whoa! Stop right there. What do you mean?”“So you didn’t do it?” I asked instead of answering his questions.That bastard Killian. I can’t wait to get my hands on him.Don’t blame me for thinking it was my brother. He had friends that are well connected. I mean he once wanted to do business with a rich guy before everything fell apart.“I don’t know what you are talking about. Mom is really worried about you.” “I…I can’t co..” I

Chapter: Chapter FiveMia His smirk widens as he leans more into the couch.“Nothing yet. But if you defy me then you will force my hands.” He said.“How dare you try to use my mom and brother to threaten me?” I asked as I feel anger burn in the pit of my belly.“It is a win-win situation if you ask me. You get to take money at the end of the deal. Your mom and brother also benefit from it.” “How can you stoop this low?” He chuckled darkly. “You have no idea how low I can go, Mia. And you don’t wanna find out.” He said in a low tone making his voice deeper.“ You are a monster, Killian. I hate you.”“I don’t care about your feelings.” He said coldly.He stood up and adjusted his suit jacket as he looked down at me intently. “And I will take custody of the baby when it’s born.”What!“What the hell do you mean? Once our deal is over, I will take my baby.” “Well then. Hope you have the best lawyers because I will slam you with lawsuits”Freaking Devil.“You can’t be serious about this, are you?” I aske

Chapter: Chapter FourMia The tall huge figure rushed past me and ran into the dark of the night. I rushed back inside and secured the locks before I went to bed.The incident ran through my mind as I wiped down the diner tables. I didn’t tell Sandra about it as she prepared to go. She would worry for my safety.The front doorbell chimes disrupting my thoughts.“We are not yet open.” I said as I swirled around to see Fabian smiling. He was wearing sweatshirts and pants and his skin was covered with a sheen of heat.“Hey, beautiful.”“Fabian!”“I thought I could see you before this place starts buzzing.”I smiled lightly. “Fabian, what are you doing here?” I asked him.“You have not been replying to any of my texts. I thought I could find out why.” He said, still smiling at me.“Fabian. Whatever this is. It is not going to work.” “What?” He asked, looking confused. “I just want to get to know you better, maybe it could lead to something more than friendship.”“I can’t offer you more than casual friendship
