The indication was clear.

He will kill him.

There is no way out.

"His blood will be on me," he said, looking at me with a hard stare. "You are free to hate me afterwards, if it gives you peace."

So I could what? Stay at my false moral pedestal.

Killian Knight, you still think too highly of me. When it comes to desire of surviving I may disappoint you, how far I am willing to go.

I have read few fairytales myself, however, never I thought I would be part of them. The eternal love, the hope and promises they talk about were not just out of reach for me, they are mythical.

He leaned towards me, his eyes burning with intensity, that flooded fire in my veins and steeled my thoughts from me.

"However, if you would want to leave me, I am afraid it is impossible," I could see in the depth of his dark eyes his obsession burning to consume.

True love is not just loving someone in blind faith. True love is knowing someone inside out, and still wanting to love them no matter what.

    When we returned to our sleeping quarters, no one spoke. My heart pounded in my ears and cold sweat broke down to my neck and I shivered."I prepared a bath for you, it's been a stressful day,"His calm voice sliced through the silence, startling me and I jumped. I looked at him. I clutched my hand and swallowed, trying to compose myself.Killian's eyes met mine."Do not worry about it, as long as you are here no one can get to you,"He mistook my fear and gathered me in his arms again. I stilled in his embrace."He did everything to frame you but it's not enough,"I shuddered. He thinks Tommen left those marks to frame me, but no one knew of my smoking habit in Anderson Mansion. I tried to open my mouth to tell him that his guess is wrong but I couldn't—my lips glued together by fear.I clamped my mouth and eyes shut.------The news broke after two days in the morning: Mila Anderson is nowhere to be found, she likely fled. The news only strengthened my position as a prime suspect.A

    I looked in Killian’s eyes, searching for the sign of speculation that—this is just the theory—but the only thing I saw is a dark confidence."How… you," I try to find a word, "You are telling me, my father killed Adeline so he could what? Frame me for murder?""He doesn't need you in jail, he needs you out of my sight. As long as I am around you, he can't do anything."Tommen Anderson killed Adeline for this. I felt my soul jump out of my skin. This is a horrifying possibility that can be true. But if this is true, if he could do this, then what about all those years ago, Killian's parents...My hands and feet got cold. I looked at Killian.I was devastated the day after I found out my father wanted to kill me, but the possibility of this terrifies me."This cannot be, he loved her," it was a whisper with a sick feeling sinking in my stomach. This changes everything I know about my father. All lies, facades, and everything an act. I breathe in and out, compo

    Ice fisted around my heart, I didn't know which part to focus on that Adeline was dead or that I was now a prime suspect in her murder.".....fueling speculation and making the former heiress a prime suspect in what authorities are now calling a suspicious death," the anchor started to tell the history of the undercurrent battle of inheritance inside the Anderson Group.I am the prime suspect? This...This makes no sense?Everyone looked at me."Did Killian...?" Jina's words trailed."Of course not!" I said quickly and got up, my phone rang, it was on the table."I will go and check with my sources," Misha quickly dashed out."I will check if there are any reports they are not telling," Kevin said, taking the lead. Ian and Sky followed."Mila, we need..." Jina started, but I put my fingers on my lips to tell her to stay silent as I saw the number was Killian’s.I picked up."You alright?" Those were the first words that came out of his mouth.

    My heart pounded in my ears, and dread churned in the pit of my stomach.The picture of Killian's marks on his torso, sides, and arms, the scars I had kissed yesterday and felt the rough edges of on my hand. I looked down at my hands.A chill ran through me.This thought was unbearable, and I shoved the file back in the bag. What if…No, no, no, I am missing something. I don't even know who killed Killian's parents? What is the full story?The video of Tommen blackmailing Edmund came to the forefront of my mind.“Or would you like me to tell little Killian who’s really behind his beloved parents’ death?"Since the moment I saw the video of Tommen and Edmund putting terms on my mother's life, I knew Tommen must have had something to do with Killian's parents' death.Those two incidents are two years apart, but they are close enough to hold this over Edmund Knight, and now I am not sure if I want to know the truth.I curled up in my chair, wrapping

    Killian pulled away quickly and groaned, turning me and pinning me between him and the desk. He clutched my arms, his hot breath brushing against my cheeks as he breath heavily. He closed his eyes and his face twisted in conflict. "I created a perfect opportunity and I should leave," he whispered. I don't know who he was telling this to—him or me? I chuckled. I love it when he loses control. My heart pounded with anticipation but I pulled myself together. He was right. Time is of the essence. I hate to do this. I touched his chest and pushed him away gently. He opened his eyes. "You should go. I am right here anyway," I assured him. He kissed me again and stepped back, his eyes lingered as he went to change. I went back to my laptop and started it, rubbing the back of my neck. It still aches. What next? Where should I start from? Killian wants me to send Adeline’s video to the media. It is a perfect racket j
