Killian didn’t reply. He only turned his gaze toward the open sea. The endless horizon shimmered, vast, uncontainable. Like everything he couldn’t admit.Martin leaned back, tone softening.“You don’t have to say it. But whoever that woman is, she’s gotten under your skin.”Killian’s throat worked, but he kept his tone neutral.“She’s just… my sons’ nanny.”“Uh-huh,” Martin said with a smirk. “And I’m the Pope.”Killian shot him a glare, but Martin only laughed.“Relax. I’m not going to tease you too much. But let me say this. Don’t run from what makes you human, Killian. You’ve built an empire, sure. But even kings get lonely.”Silence stretched between them, the faint hum of the ocean filling the space. Killian closed the file and leaned back.“I’ll review the proposal.” He said quietly, sliding the file back on the table. “Take your time. Enjoy the trip. Who knows, maybe by the end of it, you’ll have more than just a business deal to think about.”Martin stood, giving Killian a fr

The rhythmic sound of waves brushing against the hull echoed faintly through the suite. Sunlight spilled in through the curtains, scattering golden rays across the room.Daniela blinked her eyes open. For a second, she forgot where she was, until she spotted the figure sitting across the room.Killian sat on the couch, his laptop balanced on his lap, a cup of coffee beside him. His shirt was unbuttoned at the chest, his fingers tapping quietly against the keyboard.Daniela propped herself up on one elbow, watching him in silence. The sunlight softened his features, the sternness of his usual expression replaced by something almost… peaceful.She smiled faintly. “When did you return.” Killian’s fingers paused on the keyboard. He looked up, his expression softening. “You're up already?” She nodded, sitting up and leaning on the pillow behind her. “How're you feeling? Do you still feel pain?” He asked.“More better than before. Thanks.” Daniela felt a little embarrassed hearing it co

They stood side by side, their heads slightly bowed. Alessio turned a little, blinking his puppy eyes at Daniela.“I'm not falling for that, Alessio.”He quickly faced the wall again.After two minutes of silence, Rocco slowly raised his tab over his head.CAN WE AT LEAST HUM?Daniela exhaled. “No humming.”Another minute passed. Matteo’s arms started flapping like a bird.“Hands down, Matteo.”He froze.From the couch, Killian was now leaning back, openly amused. He glanced at Daniela. She was staring at her phone and her expression didn't look happy. Was it because of the news? At the wall, Alessio slowly raised his tab again.ARE WE GROUNDED FROM ICE CREAM TOO?“Yes.”Four shoulders dropped in disbelief. Leo dramatically leaned his head against the wall, as if his world had ended.THAT’S TOO HARSH. WE WERE JUST SPREADING LOVE.Rocco typed furiously.WE MADE YOU BOTH FAMOUS. EVERYONE LOVES YOU NOW.Daniela sighed. “You’re lucky you’re cute.”Killian chuckled. He leaned forward, re

The night air upstairs was colder than she expected. The ocean stretched endlessly in front of her, moonlight painting silver streaks across the water.She found him near the railing, standing alone, his hands braced on the metal, head bowed slightly. The breeze tugged at his hair.“Killian.” She called softly.He didn’t move.“Danim didn’t mean that.” She tried again, stepping closer.“Didn’t he?” His voice was low, steady. “Because it sounded like he’s been waiting to say it.”She sighed. “He just wanted to provoke you.”He turned then, slowly, his expression unreadable. “Why do you keep defending him?”“I’m not,” she whispered.“Yes, you are.” His tone wasn’t angry; it was tired. “He insulted me. And you still make excuses for him.”Daniela crossed her arms, feeling a slight chill from the night wind. “Because I knew If I had let it go on, you’d have done something you'd regret.”Killian gave a small, humorless laugh. “And what about me, Daniela? What about what I regret already?”

The next morning came too fast.Daniela woke to the soft light of dawn spilling through the curtains. For a second, she couldn’t remember how she’d fallen asleep, then the memory hit her.Killian’s head resting against her shoulder.His voice, slurred but raw.The kiss.Her heart skipped. She turned her head slowly, and saw him.He was sitting at the edge of the bed, already dressed in a crisp white shirt, sleeves rolled to his elbows. His tie hung loose around his neck, his eyes fixed on the floor.He must’ve woken up early.“Good morning, Mr. Grafton.” she whispered.He looked up briefly, and for a flicker of a moment, his gaze softened, then it was gone. “Morning,” he said simply, his tone polite, distant, almost businesslike.Daniela swallowed hard. He stood abruptly, but didn’t look back as he said, “The boys are already awake. We’ll be leaving in one hour time.”And just like that, he walked out.The door clicked shut behind him, leaving her in the silence.She pressed her hand
