MiaImmediately Killian parked in the garage, and I opened the car and got out without waiting to see if he was following. I need to sleep. Tomorrow hopefully these feelings will vanish. He can go and kiss all the women in the world, I don't care. But you do care— a tiny voice said in my head.“Mia.” He called out from behind me but I didn’t stop, I punched in the code and entered the foyer, Getting rid of my heels. My feet ache so much. I headed towards the stairs.“Mia!” He called out again, and I heard his heavy footsteps marching towards me before he grabbed me, spun me around to face him. “Fucking answer me when I call you.” he said, a little out of breath.“After you embarrassed me at the club tonight, I will choose how to talk to you. It shouldn't bother you” I said trying to shrug off his hand but his grip tightened.“I told you, we are just friends. Even if I fuck them. It is none of your business.” He bit out coldly. Okay then. “When I see my male friends out, I will kiss t

Mia“I feel so bad to run out on him,” I whined into the phone. I couldn’t help but feel sad. When I got home that day, I didn’t even acknowledge Killian who was sitting in the living room, and ran upstairs. I tossed and turned throughout the night. My mind couldn’t stop reeling.“Fabian really likes you, you know.” Sandra said, her soft voice filling my ear. “I thought you decided to give it a shot?”“Yes, I’m trying but..”“But what? What is the problem because I'm confused.” “What will he do when the tummy starts perturbing? How are we going to do things when I stay with Killian all the fucking time?” I asked as I waved my hands around as if trying to show the obviousness of the situation.“But you don’t like Killian, don’t you?” She asked in her tone that carried an irritated undertone. I don’t like Killian, I can’t stand his condescending ass. I just don’t know what's holding me back. Maybe the guilt of shuffling between two men, what would my child think of me? But Fabian want

Killian“You have a Zoom board meeting with the China branch at 10:00 and a lunch meeting with Mr Logan….” My assistant blabbered on but I zoned out in my head. I feel so weak, maybe it’s because I stayed up late—thinking.I rubbed my temples and leaned into my seat, “That will be all, get me coffee.” I said cutting her off. “Sir, I have gotten you your coffee.” “And I want another one, do you have a problem with that?” I asked staring hard at her. She lowered her head, “No sir, I will get right to it.”She left. Silence settled in the room once again. I really need to get to work and I want some coffee. My phone blasted loudly interrupting my thoughts. I looked at my screen. Fuck! Mum.“Killian baby,” her soft voice filtered into my ear. “How are you doing?”“Mom, I’m good. Sorry, I have not been picking up or returning your calls. I have been busy.” I said as I loosened my tie. “Too busy to see your own family or even call. It's been a long time since we saw you.” I said, sadn

Killian“Our focus point is the center, so when we acquire the land. The project kicks off immediately.” Mr Jones, one of my strategists said as he pointed at the PowerPoint slide. “Here we will place the main here.” We sat in the boardroom having a meeting. These people stress me the fuck out. “ I don’t think that will work out, the land price is over the budget.” Another person counters. “We have other projects at hand, we can't put all our money in one.”“Mr Killian, this land is in the central area, where everyone can walk by. It is a good and profitable place.” Every head turned to my direction, watching me expectantly. “The meeting was adjourned. I will look into it properly and ask my questions in the next meeting.” I said as I stood up and buttoned my suit jacket. “Forward all the raw copies to me through my PA.“Yes sir,” they echoed simultaneously. I strode out of the boardroom and headed into my office. “Here are the copies of the raw prints you asked for.” My pa said

MiaHis smirk widened, “I’m a friend of Killian.” He said as he looked around. “What are you doing here!?”A friend of Killian. Killlian has a friend. The information is shocking. I ran my eyes all over the man. He looks like a playful type. How does he even cope with Killian? And there is this fact—Killian talks about me to his friends. That might be something, right? Your friend dumped me here. I wanted to say it out loud but let me focus on getting out of here. “I got lost.” “Okay get in. I will drive you home.” He said and leaned sideways to open the other door for me.I rounded the car and got in. He revised and headed the other route instead of the one he was heading towards.“Thank you so much but if it is too much hassle, just drop me at any station I will find my way.” I said as I looked at him.“Come on mia, it's nothing much.” He said, looking at me briefly before turning back to the road. “Besides, I’m the boss and no one dares to question me.” He joked lightly, making m
