"I am sorry you had to talk with my sister" Arabella apologized. "She is like a social butterfly" "It's fine, I would have had to speak with them anyways, it's good that I have gotten this out of the way" "Are you going to talk to all my family members?" "If I have to, I am ready to" Kieran said with a smug expression on his face."All of them? I have a really large family back at home" Arabella teased. "I can talk to them all" Kieran sounded confident. Arabella laughed because she knew what a turmoil her entire family was. Her grandmother would be elated to hear that she had a boyfriend, the problem was her aunties and cousins, they would be having a field day teasing and giving them a hard time. "I am not sure you want that," Arabella said dismissively. "It's not about what I want is it?" he asked like he was seeking some kind of validation. "It's about what I have to do," he said.She nodded her head to give him the satisfaction he seemed to want at that time. "Anything that

"Hello there," Kimberly said again. Her voice was flirty anyone could hear it from a mile away.Her presence forced a swarm of memories into his brain. He shook a bit by the impact that she had on him. Arabella looked her up and down. She was a bit shaken to see who her supposed competition was. She had heard a bit about Kimberly from Everly. Seeing her in person was quite different from hearing bout her.She was gorgeous and her hair looked like she was straight from the salon. Arabella was almost tempted to compliment her and fan over her beauty. She was quickly reminded that this woman was her competition. Her beauty was the kind that did not need anything extra to enhance it. Arabella could not deny it she was breathtaking. She pushed ahead but was stopped by Kieran's hand."Where are you going?" his eyes searched her gently. She could see and feel the warmth of it and she was glad for it. She was sure he was shaken up to see her because even as a girl she was shaken up by her

Kimberly followed Kieran and Arabella in. She ran to stand in front of them to block the path she stretched her hand sideways to stop them."But I came to see you" she said planting a bit. Arabella thought about how gorgeous she still looked as she bit the corners of her lips."Why would you come to see me?" Kieran asked."Because I missed you" she said batting her eyelashes as if she was trying to invite him in."Missed me?" Kieran scoffed as she let out a hiss."Yes" she said leaning into him so her cleavage could show a little. "I have no business with you and I don't even want to talk to you even if it's casually" he said with so much spite in his voice. His eyes darted to the smirking Aurora in the corner. How did she even think this far, if he went back to Kimberly she still did not have a chance with him so why did she desperately want to ruin his relationship with Arabella?Kieran tried to go over her arm but she clung onto him like she was a parasite. He wiggled his hands t

Everyone gasped as they heard what Aurora said out loud. She realised what she had done, the words she intended to say to herself had found their way out of her mouth. She let out a flustered grunt as she took a step back, her body hitting the wall behind her."What?" Kimberly was forced to let out. Her mind finally began to understand what was going on and why she was dragged there. Aurora had told her about the relationship between Kieran and a coworker but had assured her that Kieran always only thought about her and was in the relationship to forget her. She could not believe she was pulled into such a mess. Her mind ran wild as she thought of how shameless she had been in the past few minutes. "Kieran," she said gently taking a step towards him."Was this your plan? To humiliate yourself in front of all these people?" Kieran asked with a smirk as he gestured to the room full of staff."I swear I did not know all that," Kimberly said.As much as she still felt a spark for him, she

"Everything was going so great until this tramp came along" Aurora screamed standing in front of Arabella. She wanted to lay her hands on her but decided against it in case anything went wrong. She was not interested in spending her day and night at the police station."Going great?" Kieran scoffed as he held Arabella's hand tightly to his side. "There has never been anything between us," he said bitterly. "The only reason we are here standing eye to eye is because of Ryder" Kieran added pointing to the direction Ryder was standing. "We would have lost contact a long time ago" Aurora took a step back. "Sounds like you hate me" "I have never hated you but you seem to be giving me a reason to do so" "You just had to date her didn't you?" Aurora asked pointing to Arabella. Arabella did not like the situation, she wished there was a way to escape from the place but between the firm grip on her wrist and the stares from her co-workers, she knew it was practically impossible. They all

"I thought we were friends how can you keep such a secret away from me" Chole said as she took the cup of beer in front of her to her mouth.She had successfully been able to take Arabella out of the office before Kieran got the chance to do so. They both saw how messy everything unfolded and how unpretty their relationship announcement was to the entire office. Arabella knew that she would need to discuss with Kieran soon, she was not even aware of what the details of the discussion were going to be but she knew it was important for them."It's been only three days" she said swirling her soda in hand. "Today is the third day" she added with a smile on her face. "What's that?" Chole gagged as she held her chest."I thought you found Kieran hot?" Arabella asked when she saw her reaction. There was no doubt about his appearance. He had an advantage in that aspect. It was always as though he stepped out of a movie or book. "Yes but who thought you would go ahead and snag the handsome

Chole pushed Arabella towards the car. "Aren't you going to come with us? He can drop you off" Arabella offered. Even though she offered she hoped that Chole would decline, she had not had a chance to be alone with him all day and all she hoped for at that moment was some time with just him."You are inviting me but I can hear the unspoken words. I'll pass" she said nudging her a bit more to the car. "It's no big, we can drop you off" Arabella continued urging. She turned to Kieran. "It's okay if we drop her off at home right?" "Of course," Kieran said. It won't take long to take her home so it was not that much of a big deal for him. "And sit with you both act like lovers and remind me of my single life? No thanks," she said taking a step back and crossing her hands across her chest."You had a drink, it might not be safe for you to be alone" Arabella wanted to be alone with him but she did not want to leave her friend all alone out at night after a drink. "It's fine, I'm barely
A Step Closer to Love CLXXXIII
Aurora paced up and down her living room in annoyance, she could not tell if it was the day that made her so mad or if it was because she was rejected by Kieran once again. With each step she took her annoyance rose and she only thought of what she could do to feel better. She hated that the thoughts that came to mind were violent but she loved the way they put her heart at ease. They way they left a smile across her face. She felt pushed more to get those things done.Arabella had offended her so it would not be wrong if she offended her as well. "An eye for an eye" she murmured to herself as she nodded her head."A little kidnapping and threatening should work" she added and felt an evil smile climb her face and the urge to cackle out loud strong within her.At that very moment, she knew that she could not be alone, there was no way she could get to pull off such a thing on her own. She did not know how or what to do so she got her brother a call. He would know better about those t
