Page 82 of Killian De Luca

I press my dad’s contact name and hold the phone to my ear. “Killian,” my dad says.

I stay quiet for a few seconds, preparing myself for the fucking headache that’s about to come.

“Yea,” I mumble.

“I’m going to fucking throw you in the nearest pit of fire I can find and then bring you back to life just so I can do it all over again.”

So, before I left, I decided to trash his office.

I burned a hole in his floor.

So now he has a fire stain in the middle of his office.

Think of it as a big fuck you to him for trying to tell me what to do.

“Let’s see if you can try and find me. It’ll be a fun little game,” I deadpan.

“You’re not a goddamn child, Killian. Stop running away and come home. You’re stressing your mom out and she doesn’t need this.”

My jaw clenches. “Don’t fucking talk about her.”

“She’s my wife, last time I checked. If you’re fucking stressing her out, I’ll do everything in my power to make it stop. I can’t lose your mom and you know that, so come home.”

I already talked to my mom before I left.

I had to see her once because I didn’t know how long I’d be gone for.

I told her I was going to be gone for a while, but I’ll come back.

She asked me if it was about a girl, specifically the girl I was watching over during the mission.

I didn’t answer.

I just left that question hanging in the air because she knows.

She told me, a mom always knows.

She let me leave and told me to stay safe and not to be stupid.

I promised I would call her while I was away.

I know I have to be back home in about a month or so because there is the gala, so I have no choice but to be present for that.

“I’m not coming home. I’ll be back before the gala but don’t expect me anytime soon.”

“Killian, why are you doing this? It’s just a girl. Malcolm's daughter out of all people. You could find so many other women. Why waste your time on her? You don’t have much time-”

“Because I want to. Insult her again and I’ll burn your office to the ground. I’ll personally make sure to become boss and I’ll fucking burn everything to the ground. Your entire empire, everything. Don’t test me and don’t ever fucking disrespect her like that again.”

“This isn’t how you do things.”

“What did you do when you fell in love with the enemy?” I ask him.

He stays silent before sighing and saying, “I didn’t care.”

“Exactly. Ask me if I fucking care,” I say before hanging up and throwing the phone on the table. A door opens making my attention shift. Reign comes out of the room with the blanket around her shoulders, covering her all the way up to her chin. My eyes darken, realizing that she’s completely bare underneath the blanket. I don’t want to risk anyone seeing her like that. Only one allowed to see her like that is me. I stand up making Reign stop in her tracks. “Turn around and go back in the room.”

She furrows her eyebrows at me innocently.
