Killian's POVI walked into the bedroom and took a seat on the chair in front of my desk. It was about 9 in the morning and even after all the meetings we had to sit through yesterday, I still had work to catch up on. Opening the file drawer to my left, I picked up the first few and sat them on the desk. I started up the computer and I folded my hands under my chin as thought back to yesterday.Everything was fine... dandy, you can even say the fucking word peachy.. until Calvin decided to ruin my entire trip with just one message. It got to the point where I was considering the hitman option once again. I was so angry and then... Brielle. God is she something. I don't think I've ever calmed down faster than I did with her ever in my life. Sure.. my anger can get sometimes 'out of hand' as Blaine, my parents and many others like to put it but other than the occasional fits, I'd say I'm perfectly fine.I was brought out of my thoughts and my eyes darted over to my phone that was ringin
Killian's POVWalking into the apartment, I watched as Brielle and Delilah went upstairs to go to sleep as it was only 5 in the morning. Benjamin walked over to the elevator and nodded his head at me." Good morning sir. "" It sure is one Benjamin... What are you doing up so early? " I said and he shrugged." I have a parcel being delivered in a few minutes so I wanted to make sure I was on time. " He said and I rolled my eyes." Of course you do "" Brielle informed me about Thanksgiving.. " I sighed." And what next? Another family get together for Christmas? " Benjamin opened his mouth to say something but closed it quickly." Oh don't tell me she's spoken to you about Christmas as well? "" It was just a brief conversation on the subject, she only gave me her thoughts and opinions on what we should do. "" You agreed with her didn't you. "" Well it would be rude of me not to. " I sighed as I ignored him and made my way to my room.⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯Brielle walked into my office with the doc
Killian's POV" Well... it's about time you found me. "He leaned back on the desk and I folded my arms." Why do you say that? "" Simple. I want to keep you and your friend out of my life so, what better way than to do so then to bring you to me. "" You think I'm just here to do a little Q&A to learn about you and what your favorite thing to do in the summer is? " I asked sarcastically and he chuckled." No but I do know that you're trying to get involved with my and Brielle's life and I want you to stay out of it. "" You mean just like how you've stayed out of her life for the past few years? "" I have my reasons.. now I'm going to ask you politely to leave and act like none of this ever happened. "" What reasons exactly do you have for leaving your little sister in the dark for almost a year and not bothering to make an effort to visit in the last 5? " I asked ignoring the last part of his sentence." Get out "" I'm afraid I can't do that until I've gotten what I need. " He w
Brielle's POVI finished putting away my things as all the men walked out of the room except for Nathan, who sat in the corner angrily. The meeting went very successful and I didn't have to give anymore time outs. As I looked through my notes, I heard Nathan speak for the first time today." Ms. Newman? "I hummed softly as I continued what I was doing. " Hmm? "" .... Am I allowed to get up now? " I nodded and looked over my shoulder to him." Yes you are. " He stood up quickly and glared at the chair as he walked away. I giggled at him and heard my phone ring. Picking it up, I saw it was Madam A." Hi Madam A, how are you? "" I'm doing great sweetheart, how are you? " She said and I could tell she was overly happy for some reason. I smiled." I'm doing wonderful, it's been a while since we've spoken. "" Almost a day to be exact, but that's not important. I wanted to know if you wanted me to go grocery shopping with you for Thanksgiving "" Yes! Oh my god, I've been meaning to call
Brielle's POVPutting the casorole on the top of the stove, I wiped my forehead and went over to the sink to wash the dishes. It was around 8 and Killian wasn't back from the office yet. After what Madam A said to me this afternoon, every time I think about the man, my head starts swimming and my heart beats out of my chest. I had to distract myself because the mere thought of him had me feeling overwhelmed. It was like something in my head was blocking this feeling and once I heard those words come out of her mouth, that barrier came crashing down and I was putty in his hands.We came back just about two hours ago and I decided to cook so I could occupy my mind but it wasn't working and I almost overdid it. Benjamin took Delilah upstairs to get her unready and I could tell he noticed something was off about me. I scrubbed the pan with all of my force as I tried to deny what my conscience was telling me.I'm not in love with him.I continued repeating the same words in my head and sta
Killian's POVLooking back to Delilah, I could see the reflection of her face on the wall and she stood there watching them emotionless. And to put the icing on the cake, the little heart she was holding fell out of her hands and hit the ground as if it was her own.Realizing I couldn't take it anymore, I walked over to her and I crouched down beside her." Delilah?.. " I said and she jumped and I noticed she was going back to her happy state that I could see looked a bit fake as of right now." O-oh sorry da- I-I mean Killy " She picked up the heart she dropped and I frowned as she was covering up what she was feeling." Sweetheart what's wr- " She shook her head, cutting me off." Nothings wrong. Let's go finish the bears. " She said and I stood up cautiously and watched as she walked back over to the stuffing station as if that little scene never happened.⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯We walked out of the third store of the day and I could tell Delilah was drained. Picking her up, she laid her head on my
Killian's POV" William.. I am only going to say this once so listen the fuck up " I sneered into the phone as I walked down New York City's busy street." O-ok sir " I heard him gulp and I rolled my eyes." You are responsible for not bringing the documents to my office when I asked you last week. You are responsible for my stocks going up and down for no reason at all. I need you put the fucking files in my office like yesterday fucking fast. And if this company has any more faults because of your carelessness I will ruin you. "Before he was able to respond I ended the call. I've been meaning to fire him sooner or later but second chances keep trying to invade my brain. Being 24 and owner of the largest and most successful enterprise in the country, there is no room for mistakes. I only hire the best of the best. If you go behind my back once I'll make sure you never work in this country again.KR Inc. is my company and I've worked on it for 5 years. Getting my Bachelor's degree wh
Brielle's POVI looked back to the shelves as the blush refused to leave my face. I walked back to the cart and started to push to the next book aisle I had to fill. I entered the horror section and I took a sip from the latte Delilah got me. It's not her fault for buying this. She doesn't know I'm struggling to get money or anything.If I had some kind of help from my family I feel as though I wouldn't be stressing as much. My parents were always a bit distant during my childhood and just the fact that they left me in the house one day when I was 17 with just $1,000 and a note, broke my heart. I had to get a job and learn how to pay bills because my sister decided I would be fine on my own and also left me.It was when she called me to come see her in the hospital that I actually got to see her after 7 months. When I arrived at the hospital and went to her room she was gone. I found Delilah in a incubator since she was premature and I didn't leave the hospital until she was able to.
