Naomi's POVWednesday morning, mom's discharged from the hospital. Eve's wedding is this Saturday and Killian has prepared his personal shopper, a woman, to accompany me to go shop for a dress for Eve's big day. As I sit on my desk and work that morning, that strange message is the only thing I think about. It's been two days since I got that message and I don't know what to think of it. At first, I thought it was just a sick joke. Some sick person is trying to threaten me by sending me bullshit messages and photos of Killian and I. But as I went to bed last night, I started to wonder if this strange person was joking or not. If they really want to destroy me or if it's just a joke. I haven't told anyone, not even Bianca, or Killian. I couldn't tell Killian. I don't want him panicking for no damn reason. If there's a sick bitch out there threatening me or trying to sabotage or blackmail me because of my relationship with Killian, then, I want to be able to deal with this situation m

Naomi's POV" Ooh, here comes Mr. Asshole." Bianca mutters, lifting up her glass of water to mask her smirk. I roll my eyes at her words, but smile. I turn to look at George who's close to our table. He doesn't look bad or even different. He's wearing his work clothes, so I guess he's just out to get something to eat. George stops by our table.He's uncomfortable as he stares at me with a small smile. " Hi, Naomi." He greets. Hands in his pockets to keep his nervousness in check. " Hey. George." George looks at Bianca. With a curt nod, he says. " Bianca."" George."" You don't look bad." George tells Bianca." Oh, I know. I hear that a lot." Bianca flashes George one of her goofy smiles. " Can you please excuse us? I would like to talk to Naomi in private." George says, shifting his gaze to me for confirmation, before looking back at Bianca." You sure?" Bianca asks me. " Yeah." I say.Bianca looks at George as she stands up. She grabs her purse and turns to look at me again.

Killian's POVOne hour earlierThe guys decide to gather at Keith's place just to hangout before everyone leaves for Miami tomorrow. Eve's not around, she's hanging out with my mom doing what women do. A hip-hop song plays in a low volume in Keith's apartment as the guys chug beers, talk, and laugh amongst themselves. I stand at a corner with my left hand in my pocket and my right hand holding a glass of water. At least one of us needs to be sober enough to deal with these men. They can be children when they're drunk. " Hey." I turn around to see Keith.He doesn't look like he's been drinking since we all got here. He looks stressed and worked out. I give Keith a curt nod as he stands next to me. " You good?" I ask Keith.He sighs as he sways on his feet." I don't know, man. Maybe I'm a little nervous. I mean, in less than 48hrs I'll be married." He chuckles nervously." Are you drunk?"Keith turns to look at me before looking away." I only had two drinks. You and I know it's not

Naomi's POV" Hey, calm down, alright? Are you ready to talk about it now?"" God, I can't believe him. How can he treat me like that?"After I left Killian's office, with both my ears bringing out smoke and Killian not even chasing after me or calling me back, I made Alvin drop me off at home. Bianca's already at home making dinner for the both of us. She tried to talk to me and she even asked me what was wrong, I didn't answer her. I just stormed to my room, changed out of my clothes and took a cold shower.Killian had already given me ten missed calls. I turned my phone off in anger and just went to bed. Bianca came to knock on my door, forcing me to come out and talk to her. I did listen to her. She made me hot chocolate as we sat on our favorite couch in silence with Regular Show playing on TV. " Calm down, Dorothy. What happened? You said you were going to drop some files at the office but you came home all pissed."" Killian. He…" I sigh. " Take it easy. One word at a time."
Taming Mr. Black 53. Naomi
Naomi's POVI've never been to Miami before, but it has always been on my wishlist. I've always wanted to plan a trip with Bianca one of these days if either of us make it big one day. Bianca and I are similar in that sense. We sometimes love the quiet, the sun, and the sand, with the two of us in nothing but bikinis sunbathing every day. I sit next to Killian in his limo as he talks to a guy about the beach house for Keith and Eve's wedding. With a glass of wine in my hand, I stare at the passing trees, houses, and cars that pass by Killian's tinted windows. Miami is nothing like New York. New York is known for its companies and busy streets because New York never sleeps, but Miami is just amazing. The trees and people. I guess if you wanna get away from the wildlife of New York to sunbathe and live on beaches, then Miami should be on your to-do list. " Enjoying the view?" I hear Killian's voice next to me. I turn around, locking eyes with his silver-like eyes. Every single day, t
Taming Mr. Black 54. Killian
Killian's POV" What do you mean there's a scandal about my company and myself?" I ask my company's executives on the other side of my laptop. Lila Hawkins turns to look at her counterpart, Lance Daniels. They're both my trusted executives and I trust them enough to handle my company like it's their own without fearing any harm will be on the company. Lila and Lance have been working with KB TECH for nearly eight years, and they've never failed me or my company. Also, Lila is head of human resources. She's strict, 40 years old, and she's like a second mother to me and she doesn't take shit from anyone. Lance is CFO and he is in his early forties. He's the opposite version of Lila. I believe if Lance isn't married and Lila isn't divorced and obviously isn't ready to get married again after her marriage of 15 years came to a sad end, the two would have been married or even dating. I remember thinking something was going on between them a few years ago, but Lila turned down the rumor.
Taming Mr. Black 55. Naomi
Naomi's POVKillian's hiding something. I can feel it and I'm sure of it. And I have this gut feeling that's telling me this has something to do with this strange person that's sending me messages and incriminating photos of me and Killian. I'm worried. I know he keeps telling me that he's going to tell me what's going on and maybe put an end to what's really going on, I feel like he's actually hiding the truth from me. Something is happening with him and lately I feel like whatever this is that's bothering him might threaten our relationship or maybe worse. I need to talk to someone. Someone who's close to him and may have an idea of what's really going on. Raymond. Before Killian and I came to Miami for Keith's wedding, Raymond was always dropping by my table, asking me if I was okay. At first I thought nothing of it, but I had a feeling Killian put him up to it. And I guess he's the right person to question if I want answers. And it can't be during Eve's wedding since he's a groo
Taming Mr. Black 56. Naomi
Naomi's POVI can't move. I can't even open my eyes. I can only hear background noises and a beeping sound from a heart monitor not too far from where I'm lying. I try to breathe, slowly drawing in air down my lungs. Oh man, it hurts. It hurts to breathe. My lungs frickin' hurt. Slowly, everything starts to come back. Me walking away from Celine because she was being a bitch like always, and then I grabbed two glasses of wine from a server. I remember gulping everything and going down to the lower deck. I remember feeling strange like I was poisoned, and that strange woman who appeared out of nowhere and pushed me. How am I still alive? How did I get out alive? I could swim. I am a good swimmer. But being poisoned while trying to fight for your life inside water can be hard. And who would poison me? Celine? I know she hates me and I think she would do anything to erase me from this Earth because of Killian, but that's just low for anyone. Why would anyone kill someone because of a
