Killian

I couldn’t lose my focus. This was the only opportunity I would get to avenge my parents’ deaths. I stared hard at Sydney, focusing on her undesirable traits more. I must hate her. How could I forget she was Philippe Bardot’s daughter? Had he ever thought about me and my family? No. Then why would I?

“Sydney, what are you doing here?” I growled at her, making her jump. Foolish woman! She shouldn’t have fled her father’s home and ended up with a stranger. How could she trust a stranger blindly?

She stood up nervously. “Oh, I was just looking after the little ones. Their parents are in the activity room.”

“I’m sure there are other staff to take over from you.” I looked around to find no one. “Where are the others?”

“The only staff here is on leave. The cleaning staff were looking after the children when I took over. Please, Killian. This will only take about an hour.”

“Fine. I’m heading over to the tent. Come over and we’ll have dinner.” I walked out of the place and updated

  • Taming A Reckless Heart   Chapter Nineteen – Losing Control 

    KillianI drove Sydney back to my site, watching her transformed mood. I wasn’t aware of what Megan told her, but she was happier when I returned after calling my manager. She didn’t know I had thrown out her new admirer, Kenneth Pine. Would she overreact when she found out? Well, I didn’t care.She could think anything about me. The truth was, I was obsessed with her, and it worried me extremely. I knew I had no reason to feel that way about her. Yet I did. Was I losing my focus? I didn’t want to. “So, did you enjoy the date?” It sounded like a cliché question I had never expected myself to ask anyone. I never took a woman out on a date. It wasn’t my thing. Yet, here I was, doing what I hated with the enemy’s daughter. What was wrong with me?How could I enjoy myself when I had a pressing mission to accomplish? How could I forget she was my pawn? “Oh! Was it a date? I’ve never been on one. Yes, I loved it,” she chirped, and my d*ck throbbed with excitement. How could that be pos

  • Taming A Reckless Heart   Chapter Eighteen  - His Obsession 

    Sydney I sat at my desk in his office, facing another enormous workload, but thankfully, it was manageable this time. Despite being busy, I couldn’t get my mind off his threat. It echoed in my mind since the moment he uttered it. “You will stay here with me, Sydney. The minute you leave, I’ll call your father and give you away.” Would he really do such a thing? I was too shocked to answer him and followed him to his car. We reached the office, and he disappeared somewhere while I tried to focus on the work he had assigned via email. Why did he insist on my staying with him? What did he want from me? It was getting more and more confusing. If he wanted a physical relationship, he could have approached me last night. No, I was sure he wanted something else. Why did I feel there was more to the guy than met the eye?He had disappeared all morning, as if to avoid me. The door opened, and Jenny peered inside. “It’s our lunch break, Sydney. Will you join us?”I glanced at the clock and

  • Taming A Reckless Heart   Chapter Seventeen – The Wrong Idea

    Sydney I snuggled closer to the warm thing behind me. When did the cushion turn so cozy? The daze still hadn’t cleared, and I wanted to sleep more. But a warm caress on my cheek startled me, and I woke up to a start. What was that? Opening my eyes, I focused on my surroundings. Thank God I was still in the bed where I slept last night. After dreaming all night of Killian rescuing me from Jacques Le Roux, I was confused. The dream seemed so real; I had trouble adjusting my senses. But why did I feel so warm? I tried to wake up and draw the curtains aside, but something heavy around my waist clamped me down. Looking down, I froze. It was Killian’s bare arm, tightly wound around me, clamping me to what seemed like his hard bare chest. I couldn’t turn to look at him. Was he awake and waiting for me to turn? Would he kiss me when I did?My breath hitched at the thought. Yet there was no movement behind me. Should I look? Slowly turning around, gasped to find myself on his side of the

  • Taming A Reckless Heart   Chapter Sixteen – Does He Really Care? 

    SydneyAfter the bombshell I threw at him, I expected him to strangle me. But he simply shuttered his emotions and gave me a disgusted look instead. “Are you out of your mind? There’s a most wanted drug peddler in the vicinity, Jacques le Roux. Two SAPS Special Unit officers were here to warn us. You won’t step out off the site. Is that clear?” I shook my head in defiance. “Don’t act like you care.” He looked away, but I could sense his hatred for me in everything he did. It wasn’t new to me. At home, my family was no different. They hated me, too. “If I didn’t care, you wouldn’t have been here with me.” He rose and ordered dinner for us. I watched him move around the tent silently like a panther on the prowl, anger emanating from every pore of his body. He tried to hide it, but I could sense it clearly, even from a distance. I felt too drained to fight him. Maybe once I gained some strength, I would escape him forever. He returned to the bedroom and stood glaring at me. “I’ve s

    KillianI fumed as I mounted my motorcycle and headed towards the activity center. The tour was so exhausting, I couldn’t walk another step. The wish to see Sydney surrender had backfired. Why wasn’t she breaking? I hadn’t expected her to hold on much longer. Yet she was the most resilient woman I had ever seen.I was so wrong about her. I had expected a pretentious bit*h who I could hate easily, but Sydney was a total opposite. Although she was a billionaire’s only daughter, she was humble and down-to-earth. Who in their right senses would decline so much easy money? She baffled me every time. Now I was at my wits’ end to make her surrender to me. What else could I do? It seemed the only way to break her would be to win her love. It was a sure shot means of breaking her father. With only a month at hand, it looked like a distant dream.‘Take it slow, Kill!’ prompted my inner mind. Although patience was never my strength, I couldn’t afford to lose my shit. I would have to take this
