SydneyI looked around the room assigned to me in the staff quarters. It wasn’t as luxurious as the one in the tent, but I would manage. At least I wouldn’t impose on Killian all the time. His mood swings, his obsession, and his temper tantrums confused me. I couldn’t understand what he wanted from me. Heck! I couldn’t even know if he liked me. One minute, he took me out on a date; the other, he showered hateful threats on me. What could I make of it? “Are you comfortable, Ms. Sydney?” asked Mr. Lewis, the housekeeping in-charge. “Yes, thank you.” Although I felt far from comfortable, I was complaining. “We haven’t been able to sanitize the place after the last occupant left. I hope you understand.” I felt like throwing up. The room wasn’t as clean as Killian’s tent, but I wasn’t complaining. “That’s okay. Maybe tomorrow you can send someone to clean it.” He gave me a disinterested look. “The cleaners will be busy with the guest tents, miss. We’ll see when they’ll be available.

Sydney I waited for Killian to return and update me about the phone call. It had been five minutes since he had gone out. What was taking him so long? Unable to control the feeling of dread, I sat up and scrolled through my phone. The door opened, and Killian returned with a scowl on his face.“What happened? Why did the SAPS team call you? Have they found me?” I waited anxiously for his reply.He stormed into the closet instead of answering me. “We’re leaving in five minutes. Hurry.” Panic clutched at my heart, and I sprang from the bed and rushed over to the closet. Thankfully, my stuff was all packed up since I hadn’t unpacked after returning from the staff quarters. “I’ll just change. Do you need help?” I picked up a fresh set of clothes to change into. “No.” He stuffed his belongings into his trolley case haphazardly. It made me panic more. What could have happened? Why was he rushing?In a few minutes, I was ready and, strangely, so was Killian. “Let’s go.” He led me to his

KillianHer direct attack made me fumble. Did she realize I was her dad’s worst enemy alive? Did she recognize me? How could she be oblivious to her father’s enemies? Even a teenager was well aware of such threats these days. “I am your future, Princess. Surely you know that by now.” I watched her roll her eyes. “As for your parents, everyone knows about them. The celebrity magazines, newspapers, and gossip columns were abuzz with the news. Then your father sued a leading daily for defamation, and everything died down overnight.”She released a staggering sigh and nodded, accepting my explanation. I released a breath of relief at my narrow escape. It taught me to control such slips in the future. I had to be more careful about what I said. I couldn’t let Sydney know my motive. It would wreck my plan of revenge. No, I couldn’t afford that when the game had just begun, and I was already in control. With Philippe Bardot hunting for me all over, I knew he would find me easily if I visit

Sydney I watched him pour a peg of Jack Daniels for himself. “What are you thinking of? Come here.” He patted the seat beside him. “I’m not drinking tonight. I have a low alcohol tolerance.” Yet I eyed his drink. What difference would a few sips make? I needed it so badly after what I had been through.“It doesn’t matter if you get a hangover. I’m there to take care of you.” He watched me hesitate. “What’s going on in your head now?” “Just one sip.” I wondered why he was forcing me. Did he have any ulterior motive? What could it be?He grinned and poured a little into another peg for me. “Relax. Here you go.” I sipped slowly, savoring the taste. “This is the first time I’m drinking with someone other than Emilia. I’m not allowed to touch it at home. While my brothers do whatever they please, my dad has a distinct set of rules chalked out for me. I sometimes wonder if I’m his daughter.” Killian gave me a blank look. “Of course, you’re his daughter.” He gulped his drink and poured h

Sydney I smiled watching my fiancé play with Knox’s children, Zane and Angel, on the volcanic black sand of Kamari Beach in Santorini. It had been a sudden plan to visit Santorini before heading to Zion’s beach villa on the Athenian Riviera for their wedding. “Have you come here before?” asked Danielle, sitting beside me with her drink. “No, how about you?” I was afraid to open up much in case she found out about me. I was still hiding from my dad. Killian informed me about my dad’s visit to his headquarters in LA. How did he know so much about Killian? Did they know one another? “No. This is my first visit here.” I liked Danielle. She was totally the opposite of what Knox was. Yet they were so much in love with one another. I wanted that type of love in my life. Why couldn’t Killian love me? Why was our relationship so complicated? He called me his fiancée and kissed me passionately every day whenever he found a chance. But he never went a step further. It frustrated me a lot t
