HAZEL POV

The basement was silent except for my footsteps. I hugged my economics notes to my chest and kept walking, my heart pounding.

Killian was already there.

He sat low, his long legs stretched out under the table, ankles crossed. He wore a dark grey t-shirt that clung to the hard lines of his chest. Between his fingers, he casually flipped open his silver lighter. Click. Flash. Click. Flash. The brief bursts of amber light illuminated his pitch-black eyes and the sharp angle of his ja

    HAZEL POVWinter had barely touched her breakfast.She sat on the couch with her phone in her hand, scrolling through the same messages over and over again. Every few seconds, she would lock the screen, only to pick it up again.Mila sat beside her, watching her with concern. “Winter, you need to eat something.”“I'm not hungry.”“You haven't eaten since yesterday.”Winter dropped her phone onto the couch. “Can you stop, please?”Mila pressed her lips together and leaned back on the couch.I watched them from the kitchen entrance, a plate of toast in my hand. Winter hadn't been herself since the incident with Conner. She barely slept last night, and whenever her phone lit up, she grabbed it so quickly that I knew exactly who she was hoping to hear from.Conner had called several times, but Winter refused to answer.I carried the plate over and placed it in front of her. “Eat something, Winter.”She looked up at me. “You're starting to sound like Mila.”“Then maybe you should listen to

    KILLIAN POVI watched Hazel walk away until she disappeared from my sight.I wanted to go after her, but I knew she needed space. No matter how badly I wanted her back, I couldn't keep forcing myself into her life and expect her to forgive me.She had given me enough reasons to hate myself already. I ran a hand through my hair and let out a frustrated breath. How the hell was I supposed to fix things between us when every time I tried, I only made them worse?I loved her. That much had never changed.But loving Hazel wasn't enough. I needed to become someone she could trust, someone who wouldn't make her question whether being with me was worth the pain.And I had a lot of work to do.I shoved my hands into my pockets and started walking home. I needed to clear my head before I did something stupid, like going after her again when she'd made it clear she wanted nothing to do with me.By the time I reached my apartment, I was exhausted. I dropped my keys on the table, took off my jacke

    HAZEL POVThis shouldn't be my problem, but it bothered me a lot more than I cared to admit. No matter how much I didn't want to admit it, Killian had gotten deep under my skin.I nodded when he didn't say a word. I licked my lips and breathed out slowly. “You know what? I don't know what the hell is going on, but I have a future to worry about. If I keep involving myself in all this, I'm going to get hurt all over again.”“Hazel,” he said in a low voice, “I'm not marrying that girl.”I scoffed and shook my head, a low chuckle slipping out. “I don't care who you decide to date or marry. It's not like it's my problem.”God, I hated bullshitting myself.Killian pulled his hands from his pockets and cupped my face, standing far too close for my liking.“I said I'm not marrying her. You're the only one I want to be with. Despite everything that happened, my family, all of it, I'm not giving you up.”His forehead dropped to mine as he brushed a strand of hair away from my eyes. A shiver ra

    KILLIAN POVWhat the fuck!I grabbed her shoulder and pushed her away. She didn't look angry. If anything, she looked excited.“What the fuck was that? And when did you come back?” I quickly wiped my lips.“It’s been a week since I came back, so I thought I could come see you.” She tugged on my hand.I looked at Hazel, who had her arms folded and was staring at both of us. I couldn't tell if she was jealous or angry from the way her eyes were fixed on me.“Come on, Killian. We need to celebrate my return.” She linked her arm with mine, but I immediately pulled away.“I don't care if you're back. Don't bother me, and I'm in the middle of a conversation.” I stepped back and turned my attention to Hazel.From the corner of my eye, I caught a flash of pain in her eyes, but I didn't care. It wasn't like I was in love with her or anything. We were just fuck buddies.“What were you saying?” I asked Hazel.She looked between Lena and me, curiosity written all over her face.“If you need to ta

    HAZEL POVI stood beside the fountain near the east wing of the school, checking my phone for the umpteenth time. Where the hell was he? I shoved my phone into my pocket and crossed my arms, tapping my foot impatiently against the ground. I wasn't here because I missed him or wanted to see his face. I just needed answers, and Killian was the only person who could give them to me. I was about to pull out my phone again when someone called my name. “Hazel?” I turned around and found Conner walking toward me. Great. Just what I needed. “What are you doing here?” I asked, turning away from him. “Can we talk?” “No.” I started walking away, but he quickly caught up with me. “Hazel, please. Just give me a minute.” I stopped and faced him. “What part of no don't you understand, Conner?” He ran a hand through his hair, looking frustrated. “Look, I know you're angry with me, but this isn't what you think.” I let out a dry laugh. “Oh, really? Then what is it? Because from what Winter

  • Falling for my greatest Nemesis, Killian Blackwood   Chapter seventy three

    HAZEL POV“What the hell is going on here?”I stopped in my tracks when I walked into the living room and found Mila standing in front of Winter, who had her arms folded across her chest.“Ask her!” Mila snapped, pointing at Winter. “I've been asking her what happened, but she keeps telling me she's fine. Does she think I'm stupid?”Winter rolled her eyes. “Can you stop shouting? I'm fine, Mila.”“Really? Because you look like someone who hasn't slept all night. Your eyes are swollen, and you've been crying. So don't tell me you're fine!”I sighed and walked over to them. “Okay, can we all calm down? Winter, why don't you just tell her what happened?”Winter turned to me, her eyes widening. “You promised you wouldn't tell her!”“I didn't tell her anything! She figured out something was wrong on her own.”Mila looked between us, her eyes narrowing. “Wait. You know what happened?”I pressed my lips together.“Hazel!”“Fine!” I threw my hands up. “Conner cheated on her. Happy now?”Mila'
