"You have two choices—an easy death, or you beg for it."

I stood transfixed, watching the scene unfold. In that moment, Killian's expression was so inhuman it sent a chill down my spine.

The man before him finally seemed to find his courage and scrambled to his feet. The blood had drained from his face, leaving him pale and drenched in sweat. He looked at Killian like he was staring at the Grim Reaper. Or perhaps, if Killian was the Grim Reaper, it would have been a mercy.

"Go sit over there," Killian ordered.

The man obeyed as quickly as if he had been struck, his movements sluggish, as though his feet were made of lead. He sat on one of the wooden chairs, the ropes still dangling from its arms. Killian followed, and the moment the man sat down, he struck him with the back of his gun. One single, brutal blow to the head knocked him out cold.

Though the man was stockier than Killian, with more muscle, his unconscious form looked lifeless—his pale face ghostly under the dim lighting. K

  • An Illicit Obsession    Chapter 70

    "You are you, Killian Knight."Killian turned to me, and his face turned to stone. He turned back without saying anything; there was a stillness about him.I stepped forward."Stop," he said, his voice devoid of all emotion."Why?" I asked."You don't want to be here," he paused. "Here with me," he said."And you know where I want to be?" I didn’t listen to him and stood beside him. He finally looked at me. He was shrouded in darkness, but he didn't look dangerous. He looked devastating, and my heart clenched in my chest."After knowing what we know now, I can't bring myself to...""So after all the chasing and tormenting me, breaking down every wall I ever had," my voice came out thick, "after making me fall in love with you, you can just decide whether I want to be with you or not?" I looked squarely into his eyes. His eyes hardened. There was no sign of light in them when he looked at me.I stepped forward again."What he did..." his jaw ti

    Everything changed in a few moments—he was gone. When I went outside to see, I saw no one there. The hallways were deserted. And his absence chilled me more than what had been revealed.What had I been fighting for all this time?I went back inside and sat on the seat, shutting off my laptop and putting it aside, feeling exhausted. Thinking about what had been revealed. It was now a fact—Tommen was a Shadow Knight, and his records had been removed from the organization by Edmund. Most likely because he wanted to hide the identity of the real murderer behind Killian’s parents’ death. Why did he want to hide it? And why did he lie to Killian?And the question I was most afraid of: what if my father had something to do with it?The cigarette marks on Killian's body—the image burned in my mind. Rage bubbled inside me, searing my heart. I clenched my hands into fists.I paced across the room, waiting. He had left his phone here as well. Then I dialed Eva, who must be

    Killian gave a sigh and rested his head on my shoulder."What terrible timing."I couldn’t do anything but pat his shoulder and try not to laugh at his reaction."I know you want to laugh," he raised his head and looked at me with narrowed eyes."You always get your way, baby."I rolled my eyes. "Ill-timing is the only thing that can stop you." I snorted and tried to free myself from his hold, but he held on tighter. I looked at him."This is serious, we need to see—""What did you just call me?" His eyes were sparkling. Was it just me, or were his eyes getting brighter by the day?"What?" I started to think back over my words. And then—yes, I had called him *baby*. The realization made me cringe. I cleared my throat, shook my head, and removed his hands from around me."We need to concentrate. Move," I said, and he let go of me with a low chuckle.I stood up, walked around him, and quickly exited the room.I sat in the chair and gave one

    The Knights' Headquarters was truly a world of its own.Last time I’d been here, I didn’t have the right mindset to take it all in. But now, as I walked past the training areas and medical bays, I noticed the physical data storage vault—an old-school mechanism, surprisingly well-maintained. Beyond that, a long hall opened up into what could only be described as the heart of the cyber division.The moment I stepped in, the sound hit me—the familiar staccato rhythm of keyboards, multiplied by the dozens. Some agents were murmuring into phones, others huddled around glowing monitors in pairs or small groups, their faces lit by shifting code and surveillance feeds.The second Killian and I entered, everything stopped.Silence spread like wildfire, and every head turned to us. But Killian didn’t flinch. With his hand gently pressing against the small of my back, he guided me toward a cabin tucked away in the far-left corner. He knocked once before pushing the door open.

    He didn’t stop there. It was as if madness had taken over us again. He took me against the ground in front of the fireplace. Again on the armchair, while I was on top of him, and again against the wall. By the time we finished our fifth round, I was swollen and aching, bone-tired, sprawled over him. He had laid a blanket beside the fireplace, and we lay down together. "I love you," he murmured against my hair, brushing his hand up and down my back in a soothing motion as I lay over him. "You have to stop saying it. Saying it once is enough." "Why do I get the feeling you don't believe me when I say it?" I lifted my chin to rest on his chest and looked at him. "I do," I said. But he didn’t look like he believed it. "I don't still understand why your feelings for me are so intense, but I know you're telling the truth. I just can’t..." I took a deep breath, "accept it. I heard it before from someone, and it did

    My father shouldn’t have done one thing—and that was threaten me directly, trying to plant discord in the name of Killian. He still thinks he’s dealing with the naive Mila, who only grew a backbone because of a man. He couldn’t be more wrong. His worst mistake was assuming that just because I am his flesh and blood, he knows anything about me. I could feel every eye on me as I agreed with Tommen Anderson. Killian’s dark, fiery gaze was ready to burn me as the call was cut. I got a vague idea of his location—he was near the Anderson Mansion. "Is he really this sloppy or just blind in desperation?" I wondered, stepping aside so the screen was visible to the six men who had come with Killian. Behind me, Eva and the others stood as well. "This is the location the call was traced to," Killian said, handing it to one of the men. "Go scout the place thoroughly." The men disappeared the moment he commanded, and I turned to see we were left
