All Chapters of After He Let Me Fall : Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

NYLA “Say it again.” Kael’s voice scraped raw against my ear and sent a fresh rush of heat straight. “I love you,” I breathed out, the words fogging the pane beside my cheek. “Louder.” “I love you, Kael.” He groaned, a deep, shattered sound, and his mouth crashed down on mine. I surged forward and kissed him back, pouring every ounce of the days we had waited into it. “God, I missed this,” I whispered against his lips between breaths. “Missed the way you taste, the way you hold me like you’ll never let go.” His arms wrapped around me, pulling me flush against him. “You have no idea how much I needed to hear that from you tonight,” he said, voice thick. “Say it one more time while I kiss you senseless.” “I love you, Kael,” I repeated, and our kiss turned sweet and desperate all at once, a release of everything we had held back. His lips stayed soft, moving over mine like he wanted to memorize every second. “Don’t stop,” I begged between kisses. “I want to feel you everywhere.”

NYLAI woke up with Kael's warmth pressed into my back and an arm draped over my waist, I didn’t move. I just stayed like that, eyes still closed, breathing him in.“Don’t even think about getting up,” Kael’s voice came from behind me, rough with sleep.I smiled without turning. “I have work.”“No, you don’t.”“You know I do, Kael.”His arm tightened slightly, pulling me closer. “You’re the CEO now. You can literally decide you don’t have work.”I let out a small laugh. “That’s not how it works.”“That’s exactly how it works,” he said. “You own the place. Take a day off.”“I can’t. I have too much to do, Kael.”He shifted behind me, propping himself up on one elbow. I felt his gaze before I turned to face him. His hair was slightly messy, his expression still heavy with sleep, but his eyes were already focused on me like I was the only thing that mattered. Just like he said.“You’re doing too much,” he said. “I don’t like it.”I raised a brow. “You don’t like me working?”“I don’t li

KAELI looked at the two men standing beside our table and I didn't move."You're interrupting my meal," I said.He glanced at his colleague. "Sir, the matter is important.""I heard you the first time." I picked up my glass. "I said you're interrupting my meal."The two of them exchanged, they have no escalation plan for this specific scenario. They'd been sent because Grimes expected the name alone to move people. It usually did.The only problem was I wasn't most people."Kael, listen to them. Please." Nyla's voice came across the table, quiet. I looked at her. I held her gaze for a second. Then I set my glass down."Talk," I said to the men.The one on the right leaned forward slightly. "Grimes says it concerns a matter that affects you directly. He says you'll want to hear it in person before it goes any further."I looked at them both for a moment longer than was comfortable for either of them. Then I stood, buttoned my jacket, and looked at Nyla. "We're leaving."She didn't a

MIA "Daddy, I can explain." Grimes stood exactly where he'd been standing when Kael dismissed. He looked at the closed door for a moment and then he turned back to me. "So, this is the kind of embarrassment I deserve from you?" he said. "It's his, Dad." I said. "Kael is lying." "Mia." "I'm telling you it's his child. He can deny it all he wants but the timeline doesn't lie and when the baby is born the truth will speak for itself." I held his gaze because looking away right now was not an option. "He's protecting whatever he has going on with Nyla Leclair. That's all this is. He doesn't want to deal with the fallout so he's denying it and expecting me to fold." Grimes studied me with particular attention. I had grown up under that attention. I knew every variation of it. I kept my face exactly where it needed to be. "He said to question you," Grimes said carefully. "He said that because he's cornered and deflecting. Ask me whatever you want to ask me. I have not

NYLA My hands shot out and caught her before she hit the floor, which was pure instinct because my brain was still three seconds behind everything happening. She was heavier than she looked, dead weight against my arms, and I went down with her, both of us hitting the hallway floor in an ungraceful heap. "Hey." I grabbed her face with both hands. "Hey, wake up. Please, open your eyes." She didn't respond. "No, no, no—" I looked up and down the empty hallway and made a decision fast. I could not have this woman lying unconscious outside Kael's penthouse door where anyone stepping out could see her. I didn't know who had followed her here or how she had even found this address and until I knew those things, it had to stay contained. I got my arms under hers and pulled. She was a small woman but I wasn't built for this. I moved her through the doorway and got her inside and kicked the door shut behind us and then I lowered her as carefully as I could onto the floor and pressed
