First, he dedicated his time in preparing a proper funeral for his deceased assistant, which took place three days after his death.Although Kevin wasn't married, he still had his parents. Kilan paid his condolences to them, promising that he would always be at their disposal.After this, Kilan had to come in front of the council to explain things to them. Although the council ended up concluding that it was a mugging as they earlier suspected, Kilan still didn't believe that. "Kilan, you should try to talk to Mackenzie and see what he says." Said Kamillah. They were in his main office in the council. The chattering outside of the room made him cranky, so he slammed the door shut locked it and pulled the curtains."You seem restless, what's wrong?" She asked, walking towards his desk. He gave a frustrated sigh."Everything Kamillah. Kevin died and no one is working on the case, we don't even have any le

Two weeks later;Laura strolled down the steps at a calculated pace. Moving elegantly, she looks nothing less to that of a princess. She is dressed in a beautiful wedding dress. The dress which flowed freely onto the ground, had its train sweeping the floor. Instead of the classic long sleeve, it was sewn to be short sleeved instead. Her hair was styled in a bun and in her hands was a bouquet of flowers."You look beautiful darling." Says her mother. Laura only gives her a smile. She looks towards her father to see a warm smile on his face. "Are you ready?" Her father asks. Without any delay, they were out of their house and heading into their carriage. Mrs Parson continuously stares at her daughter. It was like she was in awe. To see her only daughter getting married made her emotional.When they arrived at the church, she stared at the qqqatall building. Flowers were arranged at the entrance and petals were sprinkled on the ground. It all looked very beautiful. She links her arms w

Ciara, who noticed this, looked to where Laura's attention was.She then saw that Laura was staring at Councilman Duran who arrived with Kamillah Saline."Laura, are you ok?""Yes, I am." Laura had a grimace on her face. And here she was worried about him and he was here, holding hands with some woman. "That's Councilman Kilan Duran, he's part of the council." Ciara informed her."I know." Laura said with a forced smile."And she is Kamillah Saline. As far as I know, she's the advisor to Sir Mackenzie, the head of the council."Laura stared at the woman that had a contagious smile on her face. She looked at her from top to bottom. She had a pretty face, that's for sure, and her shoulder length hair bounced perfectly. The dress she wore fit her perfectly."I know." Ciara gives her friend a dumb look. "So why are you staring at them like that?" "I

I hope we have many more of these, Cheers!“ Quoted Sir Philips as he raised his champagne filled glass in the air.A synonymous cheer filled the air, soon enough the guests started to dive into another conversation with each other.“Did you come alone Ronald? I haven't seen you talking to anyone yet."“No, I am here alone. Why do you ask?""Nothing, I just haven't seen you speak to anyone yet."“There's no one in particular I'd like to talk to. Everyone here has their own group to merge with, excluding me and you of course."“Yes, as always.“ She said with a pleasant smile.

Laura was seated in a carriage sent by Kilan. Since he was the one who invited her and she had no idea where the council's club was, he sent a carriage to pick her up. Laura was a little bit excited, yet she was nervous. She was happy that she was going to spend the entire afternoon with him, but it was going to be at the council's club. A place where all of the council members will be. A place where every eye that laid on her would scrutinise her in one way or another.'Was this dumb? She accepting to meet him at the club. They could have met anywhere else other than there, but of course she had to say yes.”Wow, lady Laura." The rider announced. She nodded even when she knew that he wouldn't be able to see her. She peeped out of the window to see a very beautiful two storey mansion. Of course, it was just like her own club, only with a dash of elderly touch.'You can do this Laura. You've been through worse things than this.' She said to herself and finally alighted from the carria

I haven't had this much fun at the club. And it's all thanks to you."”You're welcome Kilan." She replied.

Seriously, I am going to start hatching activities we can have together.””Now that would be too much. But I'm also looking forward to spending more time with you.” She then climbed into her carriage."Goodbye Laura.”"Goodbye Kilan." He then shut the door of the carriage.
