Chapter 81

I am not used to be scared. The feeling is new and strange. It tightens around my heart like a poisonous vine.Life being in danger is not scary. What if I lost what I barely have? After all the patience and grinding myself to this day?This fear was the same reason I wished to quit KJM. Kevin is older, Jina is now not stuck anywhere and they have so many intelligent people with them. They don't need me.These fears, my insecurities and a lot of unpleasant emotions--I bundled all of it together and put it somewhere in a box in the back of my mind. Those were the emotions I hate feeling. Those were the feelings that were never supposed to surface.I leaned my head back to the edge of the bathtub, tired, heaving a deep sigh emotionally drained. The warm water soaked my body, relaxed my muscles but it did nothing for the chill in the pit of my stomach.Thoughts ran through my head making the vine tighten around my heart.I agreed to go back to KJMTommen is

Chapter 83

"Christen Meng, he has escaped."The room stilled as Sebastian broke the news. For all the things happened recently, Mengs found their way inside the SNO.Killian looked at him with a glare that can turn anyone into stone. I repressed a shudder, what will happen to Sebastian?"What is the status?" he asked.My fears for him were unfound. Sebastian, in his all-black suit, stood there straight without a hint of a frown. I can see why he was Killian’s right-hand man."We covered everything in a hundred miles radius from the HQ," he said. "There is no sign of him. As for the HQ, it has been searched thrice.""Who have recently engaged with him in his cell?" Killian asked.Though both parties seemed calm as they conversed in polite professional voices, the temperature in the room was dropping as the silent fury stormed in Killian’s eyes."It was Nova and Ivy who went in to interrogate him again, and then it was Juno who gave him lunch. But in the CCTV we s

Chapter 82

He held me all night in his arms as we fell asleep. I blink open my eyes in the morning and moved, his body was pressed against mine- my back to his front and his arms were around me with an iron-strong grip. I couldn't move. Even though he was gentle last night, my neck and arm still hurt.I sniffled a flinch as I managed to turn in his arm, to see his eyes closed and peacefully oblivious. For once I think he was really sleeping.I saw a side of him yesterday, vulnerable, honest and with fear in his eyes. This man who probably can control everything, he is afraid of losing me. I raised my hands to his face, tracing his smooth jawline. The thought humble and nothing terrifies me more now than the idea of losing him.One thing was right, I have to become stronger and so we can fight together. For helping me see it, his methods are extreme.He looks completely relaxed and harmless right now, like a weight has lifted from him as well. His striking face looked more

Chapter 84

Killian pulled away quickly and groaned, turning me and pinning me between him and the desk. He clutched my arms, his hot breath brushing against my cheeks as he breath heavily. He closed his eyes and his face twisted in conflict. "I created a perfect opportunity and I should leave," he whispered. I don't know who he was telling this to—him or me? I chuckled. I love it when he loses control. My heart pounded with anticipation but I pulled myself together. He was right. Time is of the essence. I hate to do this. I touched his chest and pushed him away gently. He opened his eyes. "You should go. I am right here anyway," I assured him. He kissed me again and stepped back, his eyes lingered as he went to change. I went back to my laptop and started it, rubbing the back of my neck. It still aches. What next? Where should I start from? Killian wants me to send Adeline’s video to the media. It is a perfect racket j

Chapter 85

My heart pounded in my ears, and dread churned in the pit of my stomach.The picture of Killian's marks on his torso, sides, and arms, the scars I had kissed yesterday and felt the rough edges of on my hand. I looked down at my hands.A chill ran through me.This thought was unbearable, and I shoved the file back in the bag. What if…No, no, no, I am missing something. I don't even know who killed Killian's parents? What is the full story?The video of Tommen blackmailing Edmund came to the forefront of my mind.“Or would you like me to tell little Killian who’s really behind his beloved parents’ death?"Since the moment I saw the video of Tommen and Edmund putting terms on my mother's life, I knew Tommen must have had something to do with Killian's parents' death.Those two incidents are two years apart, but they are close enough to hold this over Edmund Knight, and now I am not sure if I want to know the truth.I curled up in my chair, wrapping

Chapter 86

Ice fisted around my heart, I didn't know which part to focus on that Adeline was dead or that I was now a prime suspect in her murder.".....fueling speculation and making the former heiress a prime suspect in what authorities are now calling a suspicious death," the anchor started to tell the history of the undercurrent battle of inheritance inside the Anderson Group.I am the prime suspect? This...This makes no sense?Everyone looked at me."Did Killian...?" Jina's words trailed."Of course not!" I said quickly and got up, my phone rang, it was on the table."I will go and check with my sources," Misha quickly dashed out."I will check if there are any reports they are not telling," Kevin said, taking the lead. Ian and Sky followed."Mila, we need..." Jina started, but I put my fingers on my lips to tell her to stay silent as I saw the number was Killian’s.I picked up."You alright?" Those were the first words that came out of his mouth.

Chapter 87

I looked in Killian’s eyes, searching for the sign of speculation that—this is just the theory—but the only thing I saw is a dark confidence."How… you," I try to find a word, "You are telling me, my father killed Adeline so he could what? Frame me for murder?""He doesn't need you in jail, he needs you out of my sight. As long as I am around you, he can't do anything."Tommen Anderson killed Adeline for this. I felt my soul jump out of my skin. This is a horrifying possibility that can be true. But if this is true, if he could do this, then what about all those years ago, Killian's parents...My hands and feet got cold. I looked at Killian.I was devastated the day after I found out my father wanted to kill me, but the possibility of this terrifies me."This cannot be, he loved her," it was a whisper with a sick feeling sinking in my stomach. This changes everything I know about my father. All lies, facades, and everything an act. I breathe in and out, compo

The indication was clear.He will kill him.There is no way out."His blood will be on me," he said, looking at me with a hard stare. "You are free to hate me afterwards, if it gives you peace."So I could what? Stay at my false moral pedestal. Killian Knight, you still think too highly of me. When it comes to desire of surviving I may disappoint you, how far I am willing to go.I have read few fairytales myself, however, never I thought I would be part of them. The eternal love, the hope and promises they talk about were not just out of reach for me, they are mythical.He leaned towards me, his eyes burning with intensity, that flooded fire in my veins and steeled my thoughts from me."However, if you would want to leave me, I am afraid it is impossible," I could see in the depth of his dark eyes his obsession burning to consume.True love is not just loving someone in blind faith. True love is knowing someone inside out, and still wanting to love them no matter what.I have reache

Chapter 89

When we returned to our sleeping quarters, no one spoke. My heart pounded in my ears and cold sweat broke down to my neck and I shivered."I prepared a bath for you, it's been a stressful day,"His calm voice sliced through the silence, startling me and I jumped. I looked at him. I clutched my hand and swallowed, trying to compose myself.Killian's eyes met mine."Do not worry about it, as long as you are here no one can get to you,"He mistook my fear and gathered me in his arms again. I stilled in his embrace."He did everything to frame you but it's not enough,"I shuddered. He thinks Tommen left those marks to frame me, but no one knew of my smoking habit in Anderson Mansion. I tried to open my mouth to tell him that his guess is wrong but I couldn't—my lips glued together by fear.I clamped my mouth and eyes shut.------The news broke after two days in the morning: Mila Anderson is nowhere to be found, she likely fled. The news only strengthened my position as a prime suspect.A

Chapter 90

Kate was walking behind Jina when they entered the office. Killian said a quiet, "Come in." "What are you doing here?" I asked, looking at Jina and then first at Kate. Kate and I don't have many interactions besides the fact Killian trusts her enough to have a fake marriage with her and she is into women. I don't know much about her and if I'm being honest, I don't care. The fact she is walking with my best friend. It was alarming. "I thought Killian was filling you in on our plan," Jina said nonchalantly, plopping herself on the cream-colored couch, like she already was filled in about the said plan. I gritted my teeth. Kate leaned on the wall behind the couch without saying anything, a neutral expression on her face. "You mean..." I looked at Killian and then her, "You want to go undercover in SNO?" I asked, still not believing this ridiculous idea. "No one knows her and you have to admit, she can handle herself, and she might be the only one we can trust," Kate said, her voice
