It had been a week since the incident. Killian did call off the attack but he didn't return to her. She didn't see him, not even a glimpse. She did feel a little guilty. Perhaps, this time she was at the fault.Ara was in her bed, staring but not looking at Angela and Ruby. Angela was playing with Ruby, the duo had gotten along really well. "Did you see their interview?" Jenna broke her from her thoughts. She looked at Jenna wondering when did she come?   "The interview?" Jenna repeated. "What interview?" Ara asked confused. "The interview of asshole Serrano and that Elena bitch," Jenna hated both of them with all her

Ara released the breath she was holding once he stepped out of the room. The function went uneventfully after that. She came back home with Killian and El. During the whole ride, Killian's eyes remained on the road. He didn't look her way for once. He also didn't utter a single word. He had completely shut himself off. He was colder than usual. Ara had suspected why was he like this. But she had to lie. What if he had asked her to tell him the same? If he had told her to, then she would have. She was still not brave enough to speak against him. The last time she tried, she was on the verge of dying. She didn't want to lie because she didn't love him. Her rejection had pierced through his soul. He had declared his love for her in

1 Hour Later        Jenna looked for her in the entire mansion but she was nowhere. She had told her that she would come to her room in five but she didn't come. And so Jenna decided to check on her. Her room was empty and her phone was on the table. Worried, she searched the entire mansion but couldn't find her. She was starting to get anxious now. It was too late for her to be out and the weather was only getting worse. Robert was also not here. In that moment, she could think of only one person to go to. Killian was in his study, sipping on his wine when the door swung open. He looked up to find Jenan at the door. She looked distressed. But he didn't care. Her audacity had annoyed him.  

After Jenna left, she went into the shower to take a relaxing bath. She closed her eyes and leaned back in the bathtub. Tonight's incident was replaying in her mind over and over again. It was disturbing. She didn't even have her dinner. The incident was a stark reminder of where exactly she was. In the house of the Mafia king. She wondered how he feels after killing people.She took the shower and came out only to find him sitting on the edge of the bed. He rose to his feet as soon as he saw her coming out of the bathroom. Ara stopped in her track as he surveyed him. He had changed into a sweatshirt and pants.He reached her in two quick strides and engulfed her in his arms. Ara stood still as he brought his lips to her bruised cheek and peppered soft kisses on it. It was difficult to not feel anything when he was being so gentle. Instinctively, she closed her eyes and savored the delicate bumps of his hot lips against her skin."Just a few days more, Mi Cielo,

"The attacker is caught, He has confessed to the murder. The cops are on their way to Rossi," Santiago briefed with an amused smirk. Killian swirled his drink. The news of Matias' death had spread like wildfire. The man was considered the most charismatic politician of the era and the potential PM candidate for the upcoming election. All in all his death was a big loss. His followers were on the streets, protesting for justice which prompted the authorities to expedite the investigation process. Killian was well aware of Matias' popularity and so had planned everything beforehand. The killer was told to take Rossi's name. Someone had to be caught.  Killian had already made it easier for the authorities to suspect Rossi. It was not li
