Katie's POV “I have no idea to be honest, but good news, you have me all to yourself” I waved my hands in the air cheerleading style with an enthusiasm that was too fake to be true. He waved his hands in the air , mirroring my action, “Yay!!”It made me pause, tilting my head to the side as I tried to figure out since when he became sassy.“You know what sass is?” I asked, putting my hand on my waist, really expecting an answer of some sort.“Nah. I made Melissa teach me since I was going to start dealing with you a lot in the future.” He said with a straight tone that now it was hard to tell if that was also a sarcastic comment too or I was just reading too much into everything.“you lot a lot…” I murmured behind him as he turned to the door.“I heard that. Go get your stuff and meet me outside, we don't have forever.” He said to me as he walked out. My eyes stayed shamelessly fixed on his proper round butt that looked good in his blue office pants. I have noticed it before but thi
Katie's POV They both stayed silent, then he lit up.“Yeah, I almost forgot. I got you this, fuck it must be cold by now.” He took out a white plastic bag and gave it to me. I opened it and the smell of lasagna hit me before I used my eyes to see it. My belly grumble and my mouth water severe that I was sure he heard the former.“I know your eating Condition and thought I could get you something to eat instead of the remains from the day everyday. Eventually you would get sick of it. And made it.”At first, I was not completely sure I wanted to accept food from a woman who saw a 17 years old girl as a competition to her husband but I was too hungry to give a fuck.Consequences later… I thought to myself, folding it neatly and putting it in my bag so that Joanna didn't see it and ask questions that could land me in trouble.“Thank you. Thank you so much.” He shrugged. “That is the least I can do for you.” My hand was already by the door, I was going to leave and bade him goodnight
Killian's POV I headed to the elevator and dragged myself all the way to my apartment only to find Stephen seated by my front door.“Stephen, what are you doing here??” His head popped up from his phone which he was staring down at. His folded legs loosened and he was on his feet in a split second. My brain was too tired to think of how he did it, I was more worried about why he was at my place at 10 PM.“Thank God you are back, where the hell has your—sorry, I mean where is your phone—”“Please, not you too man. I have spent all day trying to convince Katie that I'm a good guy, please don't do that. You can talk to me like a friend, THAT YOU ARE.” I emphasized. Those words I would admit took a lot more strength from me than dragging myself from the parking lot all the way to my apartment.“Okay…” he replied awkwardly, “Your phone?” He asked again.I touched my pockets, searching for it before an image of it on the pas
Killain's POV“Tell me more.”“They say the essence of the Lucina wolf still lingers on the body. It is not much to have its healing power because apparently the wolf was violently removed from the body in the messiest way. My source tells me that he has never seen a wolf so drained out yet so stubborn. There is still a lot that I haven't figured out yet and a lot to figure out but first, we need to find that body. We need to lay our hands on it before anyone else does.” Stephen said. “It was the worst kind of detachment huh…” I repeated, trying to digest the information. “Yeah, that means it was taken by force. It is extremely illegal, wait—is it?” The look on his face said it all. He was seriously hoping it was. It was in moments like this that I got to really see how humans saw us. Even if we looked like them, spoke like them, went to schools, and did all of the casual things they did, they still thought of us deep down as savages.To relieve him of his mind ache, I nodded.“Of
“You took so long.” Ava’s body curved along the door post like the curves of a water pool slide. She smelt nice and her intentions were clear and straightforward for the first time in a while but I didn't give in.I think the right word to use was I ‘couldn't’ give in. I didn't have the strength in me to start what I knew I couldn't finish.“For a good reason. Had to discuss some really important things that affected the trajectory of my work.” I gently pushed her offer aside along with the malicious body she brought it in and entered into the house. It was the end of hours of the night before the morning and I haven't found a way to sleep a wink. Something tickles the back of my head as I realize I never heard my door close. I turned around to still find her standing where I left her, her back wasn't even turned in the right direction.“Ana…what are you still doing by the door? Come inside.” I used a more commanding tone at the end from a lesson I learnt with her a week ago. She was
Katie's POV Mornings came with their own problems for me, for as long as I could remember.That's why I was always awake early to see what it had in store for me, preparing ahead of time. I need the time away from this but was Monaco any safer.As of now, I was standing in front of Donald in his study. To be honest I didn't think that it would be one of the things I would have this morning—at least, not like this.What was this interrogation session about?I was being warned seriously not to negatively influence their child, Jessica.“I promise I have seronegative plans about your daughter, she just felt bad for me for not having too many friends due to my terrible social skills and now wants me to try and at least make friends with her. Maybe I can pick you from there.” I finished with Joanna glaring subtly at me.Yes, she was also present. She always happened to be in the room at the time of my downfall, an observation I came to a full conclusion on after I was abused by the media
Katie's POV“Be weary of her, I don't like this…”Lucy said to me just a few steps away from the door. It made me stop in the step I was taking. I must either have been walking really slow or her room was just that wide. Honestly I think it's more to do with her room and less to do with the pace of my walking step because the journey to her closet and back to her bed was already ridiculous. Speak less of other points of the room away from the exit.“Is there any problem?” Jessica's voice snapped me back into reality, reminding me that I was still stalling in her room while having all of these thoughts running through my head at the same time.“I was just thinking…what happened between you and Ryan?” What?!Lucy was shocked. Even I surprised myself by spilling that of all the million thoughts I was having at the moment. I wouldn't lie that it wasn't something I thought about more often than not due to not seeing Ryan at
Katie's POV I walked out of her room with a reinforced backbone dedicated to not trusting Jessica. I don't know why I thought I was the only one getting all of her crazy side. Maybe Killian was right?Fuck, it hurt just thinking Killian could be right that I had learnt to spend so much time in my own head that I have learnt to become very passive with everything, and the things I didn't let go, turns out not to really matter all that much like I thought it all should. I ran my hands through my hair as the walls in my peripheral vision blurred and swooned in different directions until it came to a knowing that I had come in front of my door.Opening it, the bag I planned to pack still laid open on the bed and I felt helpless. Just staring at the bag, I realized my fate was so blurry even though the bag and I were within touching distance. I hated this.On instant, I picked up the phone and attempted dialing Shedrack's number first but something stopped me from going all the way with
