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.
Killian's POV" What is it about me that you find so intriguing? " She asked with a small blush on her face." ... Everything " I replied and she looked down as her blush went all the way up to her ears and she bit her lip. Again I had to look away because that lip bite did strange things to me. After a few moments I was about to say something but she spoke." I'm 21 years old, I live alone with Delilah, I work two jobs and ...I don't have any more contact with my family. "" Why? "She shrugged " I guess they just had better things to do than to worry about me " I decided not to push the subject any further and changed it." Any hobbies? "" I read and dance.. Pretty obvious by my jobs " She laughed and I smirked. Her laugh was like a melody that she was just singing along to. There was something about her essence that just made me want to be closer. I realized I was staring too long when she moved her hair behind her ear and blushed again as she looked down. I cleared my throat and
Brielle's POVI finished putting the last book on the self and the clock hit 2:50. I walked over to the kids section and smiled as Delilah was reading her book in her favorite corner. She looked up at me and smiled brightly." Ready for practice baby? " She hopped up and nodded her head." Alright, come on then " I held my hand out for her and she grabbed it. We walked towards my table and I grabbed my things and put them in my bag. She grabbed the dance bag and we walked to the door. Mr. Burkley came out of his office and turned off the light." My car is out back. Come on " I turned to him and huffed." Mr. Burkley we can take the bus. You don't have to take us " He rolled his eyes and grabbed the bag from Delilah's hand. I groaned as he walked us out." You can't just leave the library unattended " He turned back to me." Brielle.. Take a good look around sweetheart. No one's here..I think we'll be just fine " He locked the doors and we walked to the back. We go into his car and he
