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

Naomi's POV" How are you feeling since you got back?" Antonio asks on Sunday evening as I lay my head on his lap while he runs his fingers through my hair. Killian and I arrived in New York yesterday. I asked him to drive me to my mother's because I didn't feel safe in my own apartment and because Killian hasn't said anything to me about what's really going on. I'm not supposed to be mad at him and maybe I should trust him to tell me when the time is right. But when will the time be right? Is it when I'm dead? Bianca is coming over to my mother's to check on me. I told her I was around this morning so she's coming over. If I'd told her I arrived in New York yesterday, Bianca would have booked an Uber and drove straight to my mother's just to make sure I was safe. She's crazy. Sometimes I wished she was my older sister because she's one of the best things that's ever happened to me. I can literally rely on her. She's more than my best friend. She's more like a sister to me. Bianc
Taming Mr. Black 58. Killian
Killian's POV" Killian, you need to calm down. Liam will be here soon to tell us what's really going on." Raymond says on Monday morning as I pace the floor of my office. Since I got back from Miami, I haven't heard a thing from Lily Sanders. Not even a letter or a message. Nothing. Something tells me she's plotting something dangerous and if I don't do something about it before she strikes again, I don't know what I'm gonna do if something happens to Naomi. Due to her nearly drowning a few weeks ago, I asked her to take a break from work and she shouldn't worry about HR breathing down her neck. She's always stubborn, so she refused. This morning when I saw her, she told me we needed to talk and it was important. She sounded paranoid and I knew sooner or later I had to tell her about Lily Sanders and her pregnancy rumor. I'm fucked, I know. " Nothing is going to happen to Naomi." Raymond says as if he just read my mind. " Are you fucking serious?" I sigh as I stop pacing around t
Taming Mr. Black 59. Killian
Killian's POVSix Years AgoFashion shows are boring. I've always hated them and I think they're heavily overrated. With my phone in my hand, I go through work emails as I reply to them. The only reason I'm sitting here pretending to enjoy myself is because the host, Terrance Clay, is a client I'm trying to persuade and do business with. He has money and his money is needed in my company. KB TECH just launched a new program and potential clients like Terrance Clay are what I needed to drive my company to the next level. And that is the only reason I'm sitting through this nightmare. When the show comes to an end, Terrance enters the stage to give a speech. I don't listen, I just zoned out on everything. When the show finally comes to an end with everyone preparing to leave, I stand up as quickly as I can as I scurry backstage to have a word with Terrance. I pace the room, already hating the rich fuck for delaying my precious time. I should be in the office sorting through business co

How on Earth did I live with what I did? This past years I was living my life like nothing happened six years ago. How I could I just assume Anna was gone from my life for good?

How was I supposed to know Anna was gonna keep the child. That was impossible. I made sure my driver took her to the hospital and get rid of it. When he got back, he told me that Anna had gotten rid of it. He lied?Why would Alvin lie about something like that? Alvin—fuck!" Hey, Goldie." I call the attention of my voice assistant.
