CHAPTER 61

TAYLOR

The air felt awkward between us as we stood side by side in the airport and waited for someone I'd never met before.

Minutes passed and the crowd started to lessen with time. I was already starting to wonder if this so called cousin even got on the plane when I heard a voice yelling out Michael's name and I looked toward the direction to see a petite lady waving dramatically at us.

“Come on, let's go. She's here” Michael told me, his voice carrying a hint of exhaustion and I nodded before following him while I gave his cousin a curious look.

Compared to his hard exterior, she looked fun and easy going. Her wide smile and beaming eyes were enough to give that away but what she wore caught my interest too.

I expected to see someone sophisticated. Probably dressed in a skirt and blazer like she was heading for a meeting but instead, she wore a blue jean jumper, her hair was held up in a braided ponytail and her nails dazzled with different colors of nail polish.

    CHAPTER 92MICHAELThankfully, we arrived at the venue before the ceremony began. So we had time to exchange pleasantries with the guests, and I made sure to keep Taylor by my side as I met them all one by one.They were all mafia lords, so protecting my woman was a priority for me. Secondly, the plan was to talk to the father privately once the wedding ceremony was over. He had to know about Carlos’s secret deals before the end of the day, or else, I didn't think there would be a perfect time to tell him.The ceremony soon began, so Taylor and I made our way to our seats, and Carlos showed up to walk up the aisle where he waited for Blair.The orchestra soon began to play a song, signalling the arrival of the bride, and I watched Taylor turn toward the door to watch Blair walk in and the crowd swooned when they saw her dress. I had to admit that she did look good but not as good as Taylor did to me.Soon, she reached the aisle and I watched her and Carlos grin at each other as they s

    CHAPTER 91MICHAEL I walked out of the bathroom once I was done taking a shower and I paused when my eyes fell on Taylor who was dressed and struggling to hold her hair up in a bun.“Umm… Michael, can you help me here?” She asked, oblivious to how struck I was by her look and I made a sound that I couldn't even make out as I kept on staring at her.“What? Is it the dress, do you think it's bad?” She asked while looking down at herself and I quickly walked toward her to get that thought out of her head.I caught her chin and raised her head to look at me. Then I ran my thumb over her lips and smiled at her when her eyes widened. “I asked for you to hold my hair up in a bun… not render me speechless” she drawled and I grinned.“You're the one who left me feeling speechless when I walked out of the bathroom to see you in this dress. Were you planning to keep me occupied with your visuals for the night?” I returned and I watched a red shade creep up her neck as a smile slowly spread ov

    CHAPTER 90MICHAEL Morning came faster than I anticipated and immediately the alarm on my phone started to ring, I quickly turned it off and turned back to watch Taylor sleep while we both laid in bed.She looked adorable. Never in my thirty years of living had I ever been so enamored with a person like I was with her and knowing that what I felt with Blair was nothing compared to this, made me realize just how much I loved Taylor.I knew for sure that I wouldn't be able to do without her if she ever left me.Soon, she groaned and stretched. Then she slowly opened her eyes and seeing I was watching her, her face turned crimson before she slapped her palms over her face.“Don't look at me while I'm asleep!” she shrieked and I chuckled. Then I inched closer to her and kissed the back of both hands and they both fell as she looked at me with an even redder face.“Why shouldn't I look at you? You were a sight to behold” I told her after her hands fell and she threw her head back for a mo

    CHAPTER 89TAYLORFriday came and together with Michael, we left for Hague. Arriving at the airport, the guard stationed there was already waiting and he led us to the car which drove us off to the hotel.Arriving at the hotel, the staff led us to our room and handed over our key card before excusing himself. Then we both walked into the room and Michael seemed very quiet.I watched him take his seat on one of the couches before I joined him on the chair beside him and he looked at me.“You've got something to ask, haven't you?” He asked and I nodded while smiling. He knew me too well.“Yeah… you've been sulking. Why?” I asked and he smirked.“I don't sulk” he denied and I raised a brow.“But you were,” I insisted and he chuckled.“Are you worried about what Carlos would do once your father knows what he's been up to?” I asked him and he looked at me, clearly surprised to know that I knew what he was thinking and my smile grew wider.“You aren't the only one who knows me too well, Mi

    CHAPTER 88TAYLORI was finally getting discharged after being held back at the hospital for two more days after the big confession incident between me and Michael. After that day, he still stayed by my side in the ward, and it suddenly felt like everything was electrified every time we touched or brushed against each other.I could tell that he felt it too because his eyes said it all. It was obvious that the only reason why he was holding back was because I was admitted to the hospital, and it made me wonder… what exactly was going to happen once I was discharged and we both left?“And… you're set to leave, Mrs Rover,” the doctor said, and I smiled as I got off the bed and wore the coat that Michael handed over to me.“Thanks doctor. I appreciate your care for the last few days,” I told him, and he shook his head.“Just doing my job, ma’am,” he replied, and Michael took my hand, so I looked at him.“Come on. Let's go home,” he said, and I stared at him longer as I tried to get used

    CHAPTER 87TAYLOR “You were scared you'd lose me? Why?” I asked as I pulled away from the hug and he paused for a moment as realization filled his eyes. I figured he didn't mean to say that and I killed all hopes in my heart before distancing myself and lying back in bed.“I'd like to go back to sleep please. Can I be alone?” I asked while looking him dead in the eyes. So he would understand that I didn't want him around and his lips parted.He looked like he wanted to say something but at the same time, he was holding back and I rolled my eyes before turning to face the wall.“I'm going to sleep now, Michael. Goodbye” I dismissed him and he grabbed my arm. I turned my head to look at him and he turned me around completely to face him which was another surprising event for the night.“What? You want to tell me you didn't mean that either?” I asked him and he shook his head before breaking eye contact with me and I frowned because that was a first. “I meant what I said, Taylor. I was

    CHAPTER 86TAYLOR My eyes twitched as I caught the smell of medicine. Then I opened them to see where I was and the first thing I saw was a white ceiling.I was too weak to move or speak. So I just helplessly stared at nothing while remembering the accident, the dead driver and the sound of the ambulance before I passed out.Then I heard footsteps and when I looked, it was Michael.“Michael?” I called for him, my voice weak and low and he rushed toward me, his eyes filled with relief before he took my hand and kissed the back without a warning. “You're awake” he said, his voice also sounding relieved but I was too surprised to give a response. He'd never done that before so I was shocked because it was so random and unexpected. He stared back at me too, his eyes still filled with relief and suddenly, I remembered how he kissed me before I walked out of the penthouse that evening. So I looked away to avoid making eye contact again.“What happened? Where am I?” I asked him and I hear

    CHAPTER 85TAYLOR I walked through the rain nonstop. My clothes got soaked immediately but I didn't care. I didn't even seem to notice because my mind was elsewhere.Michael killed Malcolm. He claimed he did it to protect me but he took a man's life and I didn't know how to feel about it.Or maybe I could say that I felt guilty to know that a part of me was relieved to know he was gone for good.Because Michael was right. Malcolm was going to hurt me again. He was going to come back and do something worse to me if I didn't get him any money but apart from that… the son of a bitch was the reason why I got sold off to Michael in the first place. He betrayed me so a part of me believed he deserved it… but that part was hard to accept. Because I didn't want to live like Michael. I didn't want to think that killing people was a normal thing.At that thought, I saw I had reached an intersection and I stopped as the lights turned green. Then I looked up to watch the cars speed by and I won

    CHAPTER 84TAYLORI arrived at the penthouse, and immediately I walked into the house, I rushed toward Michael’s room and knocked on his door as hard as I could. He pulled it open to face me and we both stared at each other. “I just found out Malcolm's dead” I started and he folded his hands across his chest.“And?” He asked and I took a step closer to him.“Do you have something to do with it?” I asked and he tilted his head to the side before he gave me a once over like he was trying to read me.“Why do you care about his death, Taylor?” He asked and I paused for a moment. He didn't look a bit surprised to hear that Malcolm was dead. It seemed… almost like he expected it.“You had him killed, didn't you?” I asked him as I narrowed my eyes and held my breath while waiting for his response and he eyed me.“He killed your cat” was his defense and quickly, I took two steps back to stay away from him.“How could you?... How could you just… Why?” I screamed as horror ran through my blood
