Killian.

I stared at the food in my plate, hesitant to eat. It's not physically appealing but I don't condemn it, it might actually taste better.

I look at Chloe who's smiling at me. “Go ahead and have a bite,” her smile spreads, her eyes darting between me and the food.

She had dismissed Lucille, my chef, wanting to cook the food herself.

I nod, picking up the fork and taking a small morsel into my mouth but then I almost spite it out.

I pulled the tissue paper and quickly spite the food back out. It must've been the excess salt– or pepper, I can't tell, it just…wasn't edible, at all.

“I'm so sorry– I just wanted to make something nice for us,” she breathed out, visibly tensed.

I gulp down the content in my glass, poured myself more water and emptied it, after then did I offer a small smile. “It's fine, don't apologize,” I tell her, she must've put a lot of efforts into making this.

She still wasn't relaxed, so I quickly added. “It's fine, really.” I smiled some more. “I will just ord

  • Divorce? Never Letting Go!   Chapter 58 I'm not usually that messy

    Killian.I hear Tamara's footsteps hit the stairs fast but then it slows.Even I paused for a second.The silence that follows is heavy. I can feel the tension buzzing in the walls, crawling across the back of my neck.I tilt my head, peeking at Tamara. Her hand is perched against the banister, stopping mid-step.But then I move. Trying to smoothen things before Chloe says more.I inch closer to her. “Chloe, can we at least talk first?” I say, trying to keep my voice as steady as possible. “Please?”Those words are barely out when I hear shuffling in the stairs and then footsteps fades.She's gone.I look to be sure. She truly is.I turned to face Chloe again, my features more relaxed.Another step closer. “You told my mom I called this off?” I ask, eyes on her.But Chloe shifts on her feet, clutching her handbag tighter under her arm. Her chin lifts off the stairs, just enough to meet my eyes.For a second— just a second— I think she might just laugh this off. Maybe tell me she was j

  • Divorce? Never Letting Go!   Chapter 57 Silent spree

    Tamara.Killian pulls himself into my path, close enough that I can feel the heat off his skin.My breath stumbles.I can even barely breathe.I stare at him and I almost want to side step him and walk away but I don't.My eyes lingered, half furious, half intrigued, if that makes sense.It stayed there, dropping to his slightly unbottoned shirt.God.I shouldn't be thinking about how close we are, how good it'd feel to touch his abs, or how warm his mouth will be if I bridge the gap. I should be thinking about the fact that he's blocking my path, refusing to move.I blink away, cursing inwardly and then I regained myself and snap my eyes back at him.He's still in my way.“Step aside, Killian.” I hissed, eyeing him.He doesn't move, not even an inch.“I can't do that, Tamara.” He says, eyes on me. “I can't keep up with this unsettling silence.”I roll my eyes and cross my arms. “Why?” I ask. “As long as I can remember we haven't been talking, so why can't you keep up with it now?”Si

  • Divorce? Never Letting Go!   Chapter 56 Risking it

    Killian.Tamara has been doing a clean job avoiding me, her timing is the most perfect I'd ever witnessed, she's always out or in her room whenever I'm around.It's almost like she's invincible, except that most times I hear her converse with people on the phone, and her screeching tires whenever she's driving out.I so much want to put an end to this no talking–spree but I can't.It's hard but I have to live off it.Seb says to give her time.Damon thinks she's shielding herself. But from what exactly?I don't even bite.But my friends clearly thinks otherwise.When I told them what went down, they just went dead still.“Well, aren't you both going to say something?” I had asked, my eyes scanning them.Damon sets his glass down. “What do you expect us to say, Killian?” He mused. “It was bound to happen, you live in a house with a beautiful woman who you're very much into, all that argument will be settled on a bed,”“Fuck you, Damon,”Sebastian laughs, the kind that has no filter. “G

  • Divorce? Never Letting Go!   Chapter 55 Half lie, half truth

    Tamara.By some miracle, I make it to the weekend without locking horns with Killian.The weird part is, I haven't seen Chloe all week.It's so unlike her to not want to be in my face, trying to stake her claim.And not just that— it's been one hell of a silent week, agonizing silence, both at home and at work.Alex is mercifully avoiding me, that day after I left his house, he called all through, dead set at blowing up my phone.I didn't answer a single one.Somehow he realized I wasn't going to pick up and stopped calling.It's — it's not like I don't want to talk to him but I was just having a hard time processing everything.I start to understand the looks I got at work, the murmurs, the not-so discreet whispers, even my position in the company being vacant all these years.It starts to make much sense.I know I'm good at what I do but I find myself questioning the reason why Alex gave me my job back in the first place. Was it because I truly deserved it by hardwork or…?God, my t

  • Divorce? Never Letting Go!   Chapter 54 Doesn't change a damn thing

    Tamara.I don't even have the mental bandwidth to process that fully.Alex and I — we've been friends for like, five years? Maybe more.I met him once, and again at an interview in his company.He offered me this fancy– ass job, said it surprises him that I was still job hunting with my perfect degree.We started off there, he made me laugh a lot, he— he was always there, through my loud time, my quiet time.And that day at a meeting, when he stood up for me against a board member, who said I'm unfit for my promotion because I'm a woman and can't handle certain tasks.Alex shut him down without blinking an eyelid.That very moment— I knew I had found a brother, one nature didn't give me.I— I never knew he liked me more than a friend until now.It starts to make sense, the times he'd fight and break up with Delilah over little things. The day he casually asked what I wanted in a man and I told him.He dressed up like one the next day, I teased him about it, laughed it off. I never rea

  • Divorce? Never Letting Go!   Chapter 53 One moment of wreck

    Tamara.Technically, I'm avoiding Killian, my husband, who I happen to live under the same roof with — which is the most logical thing to do right now.He wanted us to talk about it, I don't. Of what use is it anyway?We're adults, shit happens, and that's it.I tell myself this, but deep down I know it'd be one hell of a hectic job avoiding Killian.But I threatened him— I just had to, if I didn't, he wouldn't leave it be, I know him.I hope that keeps him grounded.I dialed Alex's number for the third time, it rings, no answer.This makes me worry. I can't remember a single time Alex missed a call, if it does happen, he calls right back.Last night Killian had punched him hard– could he be hurt?I try to shake off that disturbing thought, stepping out of my car and heading into the main building.I made a quick stop at his office but he isn't in yet.Again, I push that nagging thought aside and carried on with work.After noon, he still didn't come in. And he's still not answering m
