"Here's the man" He showed Disha.
"What!" Disha exclaimed in shock.
"What?" Killian asked, startled.
"Do you know him?" He asked, dropping his phone gently.
"I..i" Disha stammered.
She never knew the hate Aiden have for Killian is this much to the extent of hurting those around him.
She recognized that man as one of Aiden's bodyguards the day she had went to see Madam Pinky.
But she can't tell Killian, can she?
"No, i don't know him. I'm just so shocked a responsible looking man can be that callous" Disha lied.
She's just so confused right now.
"Ohh..but he doesn't look responsible to me. He looks cruel" Killian shrugged glancing at the picture all over again.
"Well..i hope the FBI agents promised to find him" Disha said.
"Of course, only that they didn't get his face clearly enough to be scanned"
"Ouch!" Disha shook her head.
"But I'll be having another meeting with them tomorrow, I'll get back to you when you resume on Monday" Killian said.
"Okay, Mr Killian" Disha said.
"Why does that 'Mr' sound odd to my ears?" Killian raised a brow.
"Huh?" Disha asked.
"Yeah, you should stop adding 'mr' to it."
"What? No, i can't do that" Disha swallowed, wondering what Killian is up to.
"Why not?" He asked, smiling like it's no big deal.
"Other workers call you..."
"You're not other workers and it doesn't sound right to my ears when you call me that. I don't just know why but I'm not comfortable with it" Killian said.
"It'll be disrespectful of me to call you...Killian" Disha said.
"Good! That sounds better"
"I can't call you that" Disha said.
"That's what i want you to call me" Killian insisted.
"You're talking like it's no big deal" Disha said.
"It's not" Killian said.
"Well..i don't think I'll ever get used to calling you that " Disha said.
"You will,the way you got used to calling me Mr Killian" Killian said air quoting the Mr.
"I...i can't, please Mr Killian.."
"C'mon! " Killian interrupted her.
"This is gonna be hard" Disha said, wondering what other workers would think.
She won't deny she loved how the name Killian flowed smoothly out of her mouth but she should consider her work state.
Calling her boss by his name isn't right, what would people think?
Though she's not someone who cares about what others think but...
"I'm your boss, i employed you. You should do what i want regardless of what others think" Killian said and Disha gave a deep sigh.
"Is it that difficult to do?" He asked.
"Yes" Disha said. "Who would believe nothing is going on.... between...us if i just start calling you by your name "
Killian laughed "Don't you want something to go on between us?"
"Huh?" Disha asked,her cheeks going red and her heart beating fast.
"Just joking" Killian said even though he really meant it.
"Ohh" Disha said deeply embarrassed.
It was a joke and her whole body had responded to it.
She's such a fool and a weak ass, she falls easily and her heart ends up getting broken all the time.
She had made up her mind and promised herself not to fall for anyone again after Chris broke her heart and she had kept to that promise until...
Until now.
"What's wrong?" Killian asked.
"Uh? Nothing really" Disha said.
"So, do we now agree that you should call me by my name?" Killian asked.
"Yeah" She answered knowing how to go about it.
She'll try not to even call his name in the presence of others but is that possible?
What if she wants to talk to him?
Would she refer to him as flower or grass?
Arrrhh!
"Ohh great!" Killian smiled. " I wanna hear you call Killian now"
"Huh?" Disha asked.
"Didn't we just agreed that you'll call me by my name?"
"Ohh..yes Killian" She said.
"Wow. Again" Killian grinned.
"Killian" Disha called.
"Again"
"Killian"
"Again"
"Killian"
"Again"
"Killian"
They both bursted out laughing..
"Shuu.. we're gonna wake others" Disha said, still laughing.
**
"We should go to bed now" Killian said when he heard Disha yawn .
They were reading in the library in front of the already lit fireplace.
"Yeah" Disha said closing her novel.
They both stood up and put their novels in their respective places...
"You're leaving tomorrow morning right?" Killian asked as they stepped out of the library.
"Yes" Disha said, closing the library door.
"My regards to your family, i might have gone to work before you leave tomorrow" Killian said.
"Why do you still work so hard even when you already have everything,if you don't even work at all, you still have lots of money that'll last you for a lifetime" Disha said and Killian smiled.
They were walking to their room.
"You're not the first person to tell me that but i think I'm used to work, i can't do without working. It's part of me already all thanks to.. Gloria" Killian paused sadly.
"Gloria?" Disha thought,she shrugged thinking it's one of his ex's.
" I can't rely on the fact that i have enough money to last me for a lifetime and then stop working. It takes just seconds for things to change. Anything can happen." Killian said.
"Thats true but how do you cope? You have so many companies. Don't you have a personal assistant or something?" Disha asked.
They were close to her door.
"I had several PA's in the past but they all ended up betraying me. I hate betrayals" Killian said with so much emotion that Disha glanced up to look at him.
He looked hurt, like he had been betrayed several times.
Her heart softened and she found herself holding his hands.
"I don't know why I'm saying this but... I'll never betray you" Disha said and Killian could see the sincerity in her eyes. His feelings for her doubled up and he had to resist himself from pulling her into a tight hug.
"Thank you" He said.
She nodded and slowly pulled her hands from his.
"Goodnight" She said opening her door.
"Killian" She added with a smile before closing the door.
He was full of smiles as he walked to his room.
He doesn't know how he's feeling,but he knows the feeling is definitely a good one and he doesn't want it to stop.
"Disha!" Lucien screamed happily as she walked into the living room..
She had deliberately decided not to knock.
She laughed as her brother pulled her into a tight hug.
He kissed her face over and over again while she just giggled.
Damn!
She really missed him.
"Lucien" She finally said, grinning.
"I missed you" Lucien pouted, he only get to act like a baby whenever he's around his sister or Mum.
"Me too" Disha smiled.
"I hope you haven't been disturbing Mum" she asked dragging his cheeks playfully.
"No, i've been the best Lucien so far. " He boasted. "You can ask mum" He smiled.
"Where's she? In her room?" Disha asked.
"Of course"
"I need to go check on her, i really miss her" Disha said pulling off her shoes, she dropped her handbag too.
"We have a lot to talk about" Lucien said and Disha thought he was joking until she glanced up at him.
He looked serious!
He had actually told her he had something to tell her over the phone.
"Okay, go wait for me in my room, I'll be quick with mum" she said.
"Okay sis" Lucien said picking her bag and shoes.
"Why didn't you tell me about Aiden's offer? Have we started hiding things from each other?" Lucien asked.
They were sitting on her bed after Disha was fully settled.
"H..how did you found out?" Disha asked .
"You haven't answered my question Disha" Lucien said, he was so pissed Disha had hidden that from him but then he knew she can't keep telling him everything going on in her life.
"Well...Aiden did made that offer but i felt there was no need to tell you since i didn't agree to it" Disha said.
"Ohh"
"Yeah, how did you found out? Madam Pinky told you?" Disha asked.
"No, she didn't. Aiden summoned me" Lucien said.
"What!" Disha exclaimed, dropping the pack of cookies she was holding.
"Chill sis" Lucien said, he picked the pack of cookies and placed it on her bedside table.
"What? How? When?" Disha asked.
"There you go with your questions. Now,sit let me explain it all" Lucien said and it took a while before Disha sat back on the bed.
She knew Aiden was a dangerous man!
Why had he summoned her brother!
**
"What the hell!" Disha swore, getting to her feet once more.
Lucien just finished narrating the ordeal to her and she could swear she was afraid.
Everything is starting to get clear to her.
They want her out of Killian's life so he could be sad!
And they had probably scared her with that gunshot so she could leave.
What the hell!
"We need to report him to the police" Disha said and Lucien laughed.
"Police? He have them all wrapped around his fingers" Lucien said and Disha sighed.
She's yet to tell him about the incidence, she doesn't even want to.
Lucien would want her to stop the job cause he'll think her life is being threatened and if she leaves! Aiden's plan will be accomplished.
"Why does he hate Killian Mikaelson that much?" Lucien asked.
"I don't know too, why does he want to hurt his fellow being" Disha said in wonderment.
"What do we do?" Lucien asked.
"Do? Well..i think we should make sure i don't leave Killian's building cause that's obviously what they want"
"Exactly but what about the threat. I don't want anyone hurting you" Lucien said worriedly.
"C'mon, it's just a mere threat. The security in Killian's house is damn tight. Do not worry Lucien, I'll be fine okay?" Disha said and Lucien nodded.
"So how was your stay in the Mikaelson's building? I hope you weren't treated badly?" Lucien asked.
"No. My stay in that Mansion was great! I never expected everyone to treat me that nicely. I learnt not all billionaires are the same. The thing is i can't wait to go back " Disha said, smiling happily.
"I'm glad" Lucien said.
"There are still more to tell but that'll be later" Disha grinned.
"Can't wait" Lucien said.
"Guess what" Disha said.
"What?" Lucien asked.
"Summer and Killian asked of you and they told me to say hi"
"Wow!" Lucien screamed.
"Killian Mikaelson knows about me?" He asked to be sure.
"Yes, he even asked me to say hi" Disha said.
"Yaaaaay!" Lucien jumped on the bed excitedly.
"Stop jumping on my bed" Disha laughed..
