Killian

I glared at my wife, not having expected her to retaliate. “Expect nothing from me.” Although I knew she wasn’t wrong, I would never admit that to her.

“I don’t. Please don’t malign my character.” She walked away with drooping shoulders while I watched her go. All the fight left my body at her defeated stance. It didn’t look like she had slept with anyone. She looked tired. Then why did she roam around shopping malls without buying a thing? She amazed me every time with her gentleness. Despite my reckless behavior, Sydney never misbehaved with me. She might be eight years younger, but she showed more maturity than I did.

I wished she weren’t Philippe Bardot’s daughter!

My phone buzzed with a call from Tony. I walked out of the suite and accepted it immediately.

“Yes, Tony. What’s the scene now? Is it safe for us to return tomorrow?”

“We need you here, but there’s utter chaos all around. Today, we’ve delisted the Bardot Group from the stock exchange. A massive integration w

  • Taming A Reckless Heart   Chapter Fifty-Seven – Reconnecting 

    Sydney I rested my head against his shoulder, my heart pounding with need. My head still reeled from his heated confession. He loved me! Killian loved me! It was all I could think about. “I’ve waited so long for this. I can’t believe you’re mine again.” His voice was a mix of gravel and velvet, the sound setting a flutter in my stomach. It had been so long since he had made love to me. Did he love me then? Was that the actual reason for marrying me? “I was always yours, Killian. Even when I was away from you, not once did I stop loving you.” It was the absolute truth, although I was in denial for a year. I was too hurt to acknowledge it, pushing myself to achieve the impossible.I had achieved more than I had set out to find. Yet the loneliness and the heartbreak gripped me all the time. I couldn’t escape the pain. The only solace was the nursery and my babies. Yet I felt hollow, craving something that I would never get. Now I knew what had been missing from my life until now. It

  • Taming A Reckless Heart   Chapter Fifty-Six – Killian’s Confession

    Sydney The twins fell asleep after a feed, and I carried them upstairs with me. Strangely, there was no sign of Killian in my bedroom. Had he left without informing me? I settled the twins in the nursery and went into my room to check. He wasn’t in the room or the washroom. Had he moved out of my bedroom? I felt a little disappointed that he gave in without a fight. Didn’t he want to fight for our marriage? I had every right to hold a grudge against him after the way he had treated me. Would he give up on me so easily? I walked out of the bedroom to go in search of Killian. He wasn’t in any of the other bedrooms. I returned to mine to check his belongings. Relief washed over me to find his belongings still there.Then where was he? Did he go out onto the terrace? I went towards the leafy terrace attached to this level. It was my green patch, a favorite place to unwind. At the door, I stopped watching Killian standing with his back towards me. With his phone glued to his ear, he

  • Taming A Reckless Heart   Chapter Fifty-Five – Can’t Forgive

    Sydney “It’s my bedroom, not yours, Killian. You can’t stay here with us. Go back to LA.” I felt agitated even thinking about the life I had left behind. No, I had no wish to go into that again. “You have Escapades to spend your nights in. Seriously, you don’t need us.” He walked out of the nursery and went looking for my bedroom. “I’ve stopped spending my nights at the Escapades. I’m staying here with you, and that’s my final decision.” I ran after him, trying to negotiate. “There’s no need for that. If you want visitation rights to the twins, I’ll grant that to you.” He stopped and whirled around to face me. “Do you think this is only about the twins? I don’t need visitation rights. We aren’t separated. I’m still married to you, and I intend to stay that way. So, is the bedroom upstairs?”I sighed, giving up. Maybe he would get bored and leave in the morning. “You can use the guest bedroom. All the bedrooms are upstairs. There’s a permanent nursery too. The one on this level is

  • Taming A Reckless Heart   Chapter Fifty-Four – With My Family

    KillianI had no idea where I would look for my wife and children. As the cab sped towards the hotel, tears of helplessness stung my eyes. How did I lose her again? It was because of my foolishness. I had my chance to patch things up with her. If she couldn’t leave Paris, it was fine. I would move my business here. I would do anything to be with her. If only she would forgive me and accept me in her life!But I had lost the only chance I got. My friends would mock me if they knew. How would they react if they knew I had twin boys?I was shocked to hear it from a stranger. Why didn’t Sydney inform me? It hurt me immensely to know she didn’t trust me at all. But it wasn’t her fault. I didn’t give her any reason to trust me. From the day I had met her, I had been in denial, letting my sense of revenge cloud my rational thinking. I should have treated her better and shown her the love I felt for her. She would have stayed with me. I felt frustrated with myself. My stubbornness was the

  • Taming A Reckless Heart   Chapter Fifty-Three – Confronting Estelle Marini

    KillianI stood at the large bay window of L’Étoile waiting for Sydney to arrive. It gave me a bird's-eye view of the main gates, and I would surely see her coming in. But there was no sign of Sydney yet. I didn’t know what I was doing at a fashion house when this wasn’t my forte. It wasn’t a planned move at all. When Maddox’s sister, Camille, informed me about seeing Sydney at a fashion show in Paris, I didn’t believe her. I had been in Paris to look for her. The embassy had declined her presence in the city. But Camille knew better, being a renowned fashion designer, globetrotting for the last ten years. She had used her sources and traced Sydney to L’Étoile and the Paris Fashion Week. My friends booked a ticket for me, and Camille arranged a VIP pass to the PFW for me. I wasted no time and arrived here only to be shocked by Sydney’s transformation and achievements. I had to get near her, and the only way was to make friends with Tristan Marini, the owner of L’Étoile. My plan wor

  • Taming A Reckless Heart   Chapter Fifty-Two – Estelle’s Desperation

    Sydney Killian didn’t follow me to my room. It upset me a lot. If he regretted his behavior, he should have put in more effort to convince me. Yet Estelle threw a tantrum upon learning about his connection to me. It diverted everyone’s attention, and I escaped from the place. I had no idea why everyone tolerated her tantrums. As I closed the door, I heard Estelle console him. “She doesn’t need you in her life, Killian. She’s a famous designer now after her stint at the PFW. Maybe the fame and money have blinded her. Some people can’t appreciate feelings. But I’m not like her. I’ll lay down my life for true love! Will you divorce Sydney?” I shut the door and leaned against it, not waiting to hear Killian’s reply. Closing my eyes, I tried to get a grip on myself. No, I wouldn’t react at all. Tristan and Charlotte have done a lot for me. I couldn’t hurt them. Yet my heart ached for the unrequited feelings I kept hidden deep within me. How could Killian be blind to them? Maybe because
