Daddy

Chapter eleven The next morning arrived far too quickly.I barely slept.Everytime I tried to sleep I heard Killian's voice reminding me that I was meeting his mother jerked me up. Killian had said it so calmly, as if introducing a stranger to his family was an everyday occurrence.For him, maybe it was.For me, it felt like walking straight into an examination I hadn’t studied for.The black car waiting outside my apartment the moment I woke up didn’t help calm my nerves either.Killian's driver stepped out as soon as I approached.“Miss Moretti,” he greeted politely, opening the back door.I slid into the seat, smoothing my hands over my coat as the door shut behind me.The car moved smoothly to what seemed like the airport. How did I forget we had to leave the state? I definitely did not prepare to be taking a flight, not today at least. My reflection stared back at me faintly from the window.I had chosen my outfit carefully that morning: simple, elegant, nothing too flashy. K

Questions

Chapter twelve Aurelia’s smile was bright enough to light the entire room.For a moment, no one spoke.Then Mrs. Montclair cleared her throat.“Aurelia,” she said calmly, “running into rooms without knocking is not proper behavior.”The little girl glanced toward her grandmother but didn’t seem particularly bothered by the warning.Instead, she looked back at me with curious eyes.“How come I’ve never seen you before?” she asked.I glanced briefly at Killian before answering.“That’s because I only met your father recently.”Aurelia tilted her head slightly.“But Grandma said Daddy is getting married” Mrs. Montclair ’s gaze shifted to me again, watching closely.Clearly, this was some kind of test.I crouched slightly so I was closer to Aurelia’s height.“That’s true,” I said gently.Her eyes widened.“You’re the one daddy is going to marry?” She asked again “Yes.”She studied me carefully, as if trying to solve a puzzle.Then she nodded seriously.“Okay.”That was it? I expected

Sleep over

Chapter thirteen By the time dinner ended, I felt like I had just finished an interview and never agreed to attend.Mrs. Montclair had a way of asking questions that sounded polite but somehow peeled through every layer of a person. The woman’s voice never rose, her expression never changed, yet I had the unsettling feeling that she had been waiting for me to do something wrong since the moment I stepped into the house. Even now, as the staff quietly cleared the dishes from the long dining table, I could still feel her intense sharp eyes resting on me.Aurelia, on the other hand, was completely unaware of the tension hovering over the room.The little girl sat beside me, happily swinging her legs while stacking peas into a tiny pyramid on her plate.I leaned slightly toward her.“Are you building something?” I asked, getting a fraction of her attention. Aurelia nodded very seriously. “A tower.”“That’s a very good tower.” I told her, smiling. She turned to me, replicating the lo

Test

Chapter fourteen I woke up before the sun, forgetting where I was for a moment. The room was quiet except for the quiet hum of the air conditioning. The bed didn't feel like mine, it was way too comfortable, the silk sheets pulling me back to sleep.Then I felt the small warm weight pressed against my arm.Aurelia.Memory rushed back all at once.The dinner. Mrs. Montclair ’s sharp eyes. The forced sleepover. The oversized shirt I was currently wearing definitely didn’t belong to me.And Killian My gaze shifted slowly across the bed, he was still asleep.That alone surprised me.Every time I had seen Killian Montclair so far, he had looked perfectly controlled, perfectly put together like someone who had mastered every room he stepped into. Seeing him asleep was… different, his expression was softer somehow, the tension that usually sat in his jaw had disappeared, and the faint lines between his brows had smoothed out.For the first time since meeting him, he looked almost… human

Just an Act

Chapter fifteen Breakfast ended much calmer than I expected.Which, considering the fact that I was sitting at a table with Killian Montclair ’s mother in a house that looked like it belonged in a luxury magazine, was already strange enough.Aurelia had finished her strawberries and was now happily swinging her legs beneath the table while humming to herself.Mrs. Montclair placed her cup of coffee down with quiet precision.“Now that breakfast is finished,” she said calmly, “we should discuss something important.”I had a feeling I wasn’t going to like whatever came next.Her gaze moved between Killian and me.“The wedding preparations cannot be delayed any longer.”I blinked.Right.The wedding.It still felt surreal hearing it said out loud.“Killian may prefer efficiency in business matters but weddings require planning.”Killian looked completely unbothered.“Do what you think is necessary,” he replied. Mrs. Montclair nodded slightly, as if she had expected that answer.“I al

Dresses

Chapter sixteen I woke up tired, extremely tired. Not the kind of tiredness that sleep could fix, but the deep exhaustion that came from too many conversations and too many decisions.The night before had been long.After dinner, the discussions about the wedding had continued for hours. Mrs. Montclair had insisted there was no time to waste, and Killian's cousins had joined in with an alarming amount of enthusiasm.Apparently, planning a billionaire’s wedding in one week required the energy of an entire army. Energy I didn't possess. Only two people had been spared from the chaos.Killian and Aurelia.The two of them had disappeared early while the rest of us stayed behind debating flowers, venues, guest lists, and things I didn’t even realize were important for weddings.By the time I finally made it to bed, my head felt like it was a venue for a rock concert. Now the sunlight was already creeping through the curtains.I groaned softly. I barely had any sleep. I was late. Very l

invite

Chapter seventeen The room was quiet when I woke up the next morning.For a moment I lay still, staring at the ceiling as the events of the previous day slowly returned to me.The designers.The dresses.The endless fittings.And Killian laughing.That part still felt strange.Killian Montclair didn’t seem like the kind of man who laughed easily.Yet yesterday he had, with me.I pushed the thought away and sat up.The wedding is in six days now and every time I thought about it, my stomach twisted slightly.A wedding I never imagined having with a husband I barely understood and a future that had changed direction so suddenly it still didn’t feel real.After getting dressed, I noticed Killian in the balcony on a call. I decided against disturbing him and headed downstairs.The moment I stepped into the hallway I heard voices again.Of course.Nothing about this house had been quiet since the wedding plans started.When I reached the dining room, Camille and Caleb were already there.

Rest

Chapter eighteen Killian ’s POVI have never liked chaos.In my world, things function best when they follow a plan.Contracts are negotiated.Deals are structured.Problems are solved efficiently.Which is why the past week has been deeply….. inconvenient.My phone vibrated on the desk just as I finished reviewing the final report in front of me.Camille.I already knew this wasn’t going to be a pleasant conversation.I answered anyway.“What is it?”Her voice came through immediately.“Where are you?”“At work.”“Well, that’s unfortunate because we need you.”“For what?”“For your pre-wedding shoot, obviously.”I leaned back slightly in my chair.“That’s today?” I asked running a hand through my hair. “Yes, Killian, Weddings involve photographs. Who knew?”I rubbed my temple.“I’ll be there in thirty minutes.”“Make it twenty.”The call ended before I could reply.I stared at my phone for a moment.Pre-wedding shoot.Apparently the wedding industry had invented an entire category

Photoshoot

Chapter nineteen I woke up the next morning feeling lighter than I had in days. The memory of the spa made me smile. I rolled on my side relishing in it. Killian had practically kidnapped me from the chaos of wedding planning and forced me to rest.My lips curved slightly.If someone had told me a week ago that Killian Montclair would be the one dragging me to a spa for my own good, I would have laughed, yet somehow that was exactly what had happened.And I slept like a rock afterward.A knock came on the door before I could get out of bed.“Come in,” I called.Camille pushed the door open immediately.She looked dramatically relieved when she saw me sitting up.“Oh good,” she said. “You’re alive.”I blinked at her.“Was there doubt?”“You looked like you were going to collapse yesterday.”I sighed.“Your cousin canceled the shoot.”“Yes,” she said knowingly.“And you weren’t happy about it.” I added. “Of course I wasn’t happy about it,” Camille said. “But even I could see you we

Complicated

Chapter twenty Killian ’s POVThe house was finally quiet.For the first time in days, the wedding planners, designers, photographers, and relatives had all disappeared for the night.Silence settled over the halls. It felt unusual,that said a lot because this house was always quiet even while growing up. I was used to the silence. I was used to the help tip towing around the house so as to not anger my mother with noise. I stood in my study, reviewing documents on my laptop, but my attention wasn’t entirely on the screen, it kept drifting.An annoying habit.Across the room, Aurelia sat on the rug with a collection of colored pencils scattered around her.She was drawing with so much concentration one would think she was about creating a better painting than the Mona Lisa. Every few minutes she would hum to herself. It was one of the small sounds that had slowly returned to the house over the past week.Before Jade arrived, Aurelia had spent more time in quiet corners, painting,
