What he doesn't know.

KIERAN'S POV. I paced back and forth at the hospital, biting my fingers anxiously. I won't be able to forgive myself if Michelle dies. Silver sat with her crying mother, their faces etched with fear. Her mother suddenly stood up and walked over to me. “Aren't you Michelle's fiancé?! How didn't you know that she's allergic to peanuts?!” She snapped. I felt speechless. I had taken my time to know everything about the woman I shared the same bed with, only to miss information that could kill her. I knew she loved Mac and cheese, and hated squid, clamps — anything slimy. But never did I ever think she had a food that could literally kill her. The door opened and the doctor walked out. I rushed to him. “How's she?”He sighed. “We were able to stabilize her condition. She'll come around soon.”“Thank you,” I muttered, breathing a sigh of relief. The man nodded and walked away. Silver mother stepped forward. “It's my fault she's in this condition.”“It's not your fault,” I said. “S

A kiss in Montmartre.

MICHELLE’S POV. I marked the third day of my calendar with a bright smile on my lips. It has been three awkward days with Kieran. Every time he talked, I couldn't help but imagine how he tasted when we kissed. Call me stupid, but half of me was angry I didn't remember every detail about having sex with Kieran Castellan. Who in the world has sex with Kieran Castellan and then forgets it?“Pull yourself together, Michelle,” I whispered, rubbing the back of my neck. “It was just a random hook-up to him.”I decided to paint to distract myself, but I ended up drawing Kieran's face. I quickly threw the paper into the trashcan. That was enough drawing for me. Since I had nothing else to do. I decided to take a walk around. Paris in the daytime felt soft, calm… it was like a fairytale. My mother has always wanted to visit Paris since she was a child, and I guess I loved the city of love from her. Soon, I got bored and decided to visit a bookstore. Nothing beat that feeling of reading

Just a dumb kiss.

MICHELE'S POV. Kieran didn't let go even after the cameraman told us that he had taken the shot. And as stupid as I was, I deepened the kiss. Part of me wanted to let go, but my mouth was just curious. I wanted this so bad. Finally, he lets go, and regret crashes over me instantly. I quickly look away, wiping the sweat from my forehead.I took in deep breaths to steady my racing heart beat. But nothing worked. I slowly turned to Kieran, who was now talking to the photographer, his face calm like nothing awkward just happened. Finally the photographer left, and Kieran turned to me. “He will send all the photos to my email.”I nodded, then swallowed the lump forming in my throat. “Are you okay?” He asked. Am I okay? Of course, I'm not. You used me.“Me?” I said, my voice unsteady. “I'm fine. Why do you ask?”“You look like your face lost its color,” he explained. “Wait, are you still thinking about the kiss?” Aren't you?”“It's just a dumb kiss,” he laughed. “I'm sorry for jumpin

When walls falls.

KIERAN'S POV. I took Michelle back to our hotel room — more like carrying her to the room. Her steps were slow and unsteady and I just wanted to get back to my bed quickly. After a quick shower, I stood by the mirror replaying everything that happened today in my head. The last vacation I had was with my mother and that was more like a business meeting. My grandfather insisted that she takes me along to meet some important business people. But my mother turned it into a vacation for me. And that was the last time I had a vacation. But today reminded me that I was only human, and sometimes humans need to rest. I even forgot about my mission, something even God would consider impossible for me. “Fuck,” Michelle groaned, as she walked out of the bathroom. I quickly turned to her. Water droplets clung to her flushed skin, tracing paths down her curves as she adjusted the white towel snugly around her chest. The towel sat high on her thighs, showing her smooth, strong legs that sho

The devil's playbook.

AUTHOR'S POV.Paul sat down on the bench, quietly waiting for the guards to bring his wife. The door suddenly opened and the guards walked out, behind them was Tami in cuffs. “Tami,” Paul called, placing his hands on the cold table. “You look well.”Tami ignored him and sat down. She didn't say anything until the guards were far away. “I would have killed you immediately if I didn't have this on my hands,” she lifted her hands up, showing him the cuffs. “I'm sorry, Tami,” Paul apologized. “You actually had the nerve to come here? After everything you did? You abandoned me for fuck sake!”Paul raised his hands slightly, giving her a calm look. “Tami, I'm sorry. But you have to understand. The whole world hates you. No one should know that I came to see you.”“So what are you doing here?” She frowned. Paul swallowed hard, his lips pressing into a thin line. “I had to. I needed to talk to you.”Tami scoffed, leaning back in her chair with her arms crossed. “So that’s it? You sneak i

Seventy–six.

MICHELLE’S POV.The moment we got to the concert hall, I felt like my heart was going to burst.The lights outside were bright and colorful. People were screaming even before we stepped inside. I grabbed Kieran’s hand and pulled him along with me, laughing like a child.“This is a dream come true!” I screamed and jumped on him without thinking.He held me so I wouldn’t fall. “Calm down,” he laughed. “You haven’t even seen them yet.”“I don’t care!” I said, almost breathless. “I’m finally here. I can’t believe this is real.”Inside, the place was huge. The stage was wide and glowing with blue and purple lights. Music was already playing softly in the background. People were taking pictures and shouting.Our seats were right at the front. Right at the front.I turned to Kieran slowly. “Oh my goodness. We get a seat close to the band.”“Isn't that the purpose of a thousand dollar ticket?” He frowned. I screamed again and hugged him. “This is so awesome!”He just shook his head and we sa

The truth waiting in the dark.

MICHELLE’S POV.After the concert, I picked my bag and left the stadium like a thief hiding from the cops. Damien's presence was more insulting and annoying than Kieran's departure.Who the hell does he think he is? And what the hell was he doing in Paris?“Michelle,” Damien called behind me. “Wait up.”I kept walking.He caught up with me and grabbed my arm gently. “Stop. Please.”I pulled my arm away. “What are you doing here?”“What do you mean?” He laughed. “This is a concert. It's not exactly a private one.”“What are you doing in Paris?” I growled, my fists clenched tightly. He looked at me for a second. “What do you mean? I came to Paris for the concert. They are also my favourite band.”I curse the day I made him fall in love with the band.I continued walking. He followed. I suddenly stopped and turned to him. “Did you buy that couple ticket intentionally?” “I bought the tickets for you,” he said. “I didn’t want you to be alone.”I stared at him in disbelief. “Don't tell

While I was gone.

KIERAN'S POV. “Say Eiffel Tower.”Snap. I turned to Michelle who was barely holding up that smile. My brows furrowed in curiosity, but before I could ask her what was wrong with her, she walked away. “Thank you so much,” she said, taking the pictures from the photographer. “You're welcome.” He handed her a business card. “Just give me a call when you come back to Paris.”She nodded. “I sure will.”The man left. “That's all on your to-do list,” I said, tucking my hands into my pocket as I walked closer to her. “It must be a dream come through.”“Yeah,” she replied flatly. I studied her for a while. The annoying spark of joy she always carried was gone. In its place was something cold. Empty.I wanted to look away but I felt guilty — and I didn't even do anything. Curse whatever was making me feel bad. “Is there something you want to tell me?” I asked. She turned to me with a bright smile — obviously a fake smile. “What are you talking about?”“It looks like you are still mad a

One invitation, one death.

MICHELLE’S POV.I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at the wall like it had personally offended me.“Stupid,” I muttered to myself. “So stupid.”Why did I even care?It wasn’t like he was mine. It wasn't like we were in a real relationship. So why did it feel like he chose her over me? He chose to spend time with his ex. I squeezed my pillow tightly and groaned into it. “She’s his ex,” I whispered. “Not even his present.”But that was the problem, wasn’t it?You don’t leave someone in the middle of a concert — a couple’s concert — unless something important pulls you away. Or someone important.I swallowed hard, regretting how I acted like a fool yesterday. “It’s not like he likes you,” I told myself again. “You’re just… convenient.”I stood up quickly before I could cry. I refused to cry over a man who won't even look at me twice. I went to shower, letting the cold water clear my head. II swallowed my pride, picked out a simple but sharp outfit, and headed to the office.When I

Saturday in chaos

MICHELLE'S POV. Tami was buried after a week of her death. After the authorities ruled it as a suicide. Although Kieran suspected foul play. Why can't he just see a moment for what it really was, rather than looking for things that weren't there. I hated Tami but her death shook me.The guilt and shame must have weighed her down… maybe that’s why she ended her life.And Damien? He wasn't handling the death of his mother very well. I've never seen him this broken in my life. He always comes home drunk, blames himself for almost everything… It was just too sad to watch.Kieran, on the other hand, was as indifferent as a Panda chewing on a bamboo stick. He couldn't care less about the chaos around. And he had his ex around. He was always busy. Sneaking in and out of the house like a thief in the night. Honestly I didn't care. I was going to be out of this house with a billion dollars in three months. What more could I ask for?Today was a beautiful Saturday. The sun hung high in the
