Chapter 91: Never!

MIA

My heart pounded as I stared at Big Kai standing close to the balcony with his two hands in his pockets, staring at me, and in front of him was a table set for two.

The table has candles lights and rose petals on the table and the floor.

I looked at Caleb.

He looked at me.

"What is this?" I asked.

"Please go ahead." he urged.

"But....you said it was Coco's birthday. Where is she? Why is he here instead?"

"Coco will join us shortly. We are all celebrating her birthday. Just go have  a seat, please." He urged, gesturing towards the table.

I looked at the table and then Big Kai.

He is staring at me.

Why is he here?

He is the boss. Does he celebrate the birthdays of his staff with his staff? I don't get it.

Where is Coco?

She'd better show up.

I nervously walked towards the table and.....

I froze the minute Big Kai approached me.

He moved towards the seat and took it out for me.

What is he doing?

What has gotten into him?

I looked behind me.

Caleb is not where he stood.

"Please sit," Big Kai said, making my heart pick up.

I sat down and he walked towards the other seat and sat on it.

I stared at my fingers on my lap as I thought about Coco.

She told me tonight is her birthday party. She was so excited about finally having a party in a long time.

We went shopping, got our hair and everything.

I also got this beautiful dress. She said it was going to be a small party because she is just a maid and wouldn't want to disturb the boss.

But look at me here. In front of the boss!

Where is she?!

"You look stunning, Mia."

God, he called me by my name.

Again!

My name has never sounded weird before.

It is because he called it. He never calls me by my name till this morning.

Then he got me gifts and a lily.

I scoffed internally.

I knew he was not going to let me be. I am back and he wants to get back to where he stopped.

What does he want to do now?

Tell me I am his, force me to marry him, and tell me he is going to.....

Seriously, Coco, I hope you didn't lie to me.

"The dress is gorgeous."

I looked at him.

He is looking at me.

"Well, thanks to you. You are fucking beautiful," he said, making my heart race.

I looked away, fiddling with my fingers as I looked at the entrance for Coco.

Why is she....

"I'll pour us a drink," he said, taking up the bottle.

"I don't want to drink," I said without looking at him.

"Why? It is a sweet drink. Non alcoholic."

Okay, why is he being like this?

"Don't worry, Mia. You gonna love it."

"Why are you calling me by my name?" I asked as my heart pounded.

He raised his brows.

"Isn't that your name?" he asked calmly.

Ugh, where is the violent monster? I know he is in there somewhere.

"You never call me by my name."

He shrugged. "I'm calling you now. Don't you like it?"

I scoffed. "What is going on? Why am I here?"

He didn't respond but popped the bottle, making me flinch.

He raised his brows.

I scowled at him.

"Oops. Sorry."

"Tell me why I am here."

"This is a date, Mia."

I furrowed my brows. "What?"

"This is a romantic date, girl. Can't you tell?"

I let out a scoff, looking around me.

The candle lights, rose petals, and two glasses.

And then there is him.

Coco really lied to me.

I looked at Big Kai.

He stared at me while placing my filled glass in front of me.

"I am not having a date with you," I said, getting on my feet and taking a few steps away but the sound of a gun cocking stopped me in my tracks.

I swallowed.

"Get your ass back here, girl."

I shut my eyes and opened them.

"Now," he ordered.

I inhaled and exhaled before walking back to the seat.

His gun is on the table close to him and he is sipping his drink.

Slowly, I sat on the seat.

His eyes moved to me.

They are not as cheerful as a few seconds ago.

"All these were set for you, shawty."

My heart reacted to the usual nickname.

"It is a lovely date prepared for you and you wanna leave?"

"I didn't ask for it."

"Of course you didn't but I did. All you should do is appreciate it."

I scoffed, looking away.

I sensed him tilting his head.

"Did you just scoff at me, girl?"

I looked at him.

He is looking at me.

"What the fuck is your problem?" he snarled.

"I don't want to be here with you,"

"What the fuck am I? A fucking plague?"

I shook my head. "Worse. A killer. A monster, that's what you are, Big Kai."

He gritted his teeth while staring at me.

I looked away.

"Tell me, what makes me a monster?" he asked.

I didn't respond or look at him.

"Is it about your lil sister?"

I looked at him.

"She is back to you. Jay Jay as well. Tell me what makes me a fucking monster, girl."

"You killed my mother!" I yelled as a tear rolled down my face.

He stared at me.

"You killed my mother in cold blood. Stop asking me stupid questions when you know the freaking answer!" I let out a breath as more tears flowed while I recalled the night he killed my mom.

He scoffed. "Is that it?"

I furrowed my brows slightly.

"The bitch?"

I clenched my knuckles.

"I will kill that bitch over and over again if I had the chance."

My heart tightened as I stared at him.

"I'mma record it like a fucking song in the studio back in Bricktown and give it to you to listen to every fucking day so it will fucking sink. Your mother was a worthless bitch who cared less about your sorry ass, girl. She took sides with her pedophile pussy ass husband. She almost gave you to 'em fucking traffickers, stupid."

More tears flowed as I stared at him.

"I fucking saved your life, shawty. I saved you twice and you call me a monster?"

I kept staring at him as I felt tiny guilt within me.

"I would kill any motherfucker who tries as much as to touch a tendril of your fucking hair. Be it family or a fucking stranger, girl. I don't give a shit, you hear me?"

I looked away.

"As long as I fucking breathe, no one is ever going to harm you. You wanna know why? That's how much I fucking care about your ass."

I kept staring away.

"I fucking love you, shawty."

I froze.

Slowly, I looked at him.

His eyes are on me.

What?

"At first, I wanted a fun fuck but it grew into something more than that. Something beyond me. Something I can't fucking control. I lose my shit by just thinking about you with someone else. I become the monster you call me if someone tries to fucking harm you. Hell, I'mma bring this fucking planet down for you if you want me to. Every fucking thing is you, girl. So that's it, shawty. I love you."

My heart can't race more than it already is.

"All you have to do.......is open your heart for me. And let me in," he said calmly, moving his hand on the table towards me.

He opened his hand, revealing the familiar diamond ring he gave me.

More like forced on me.

"It's you and me against the fucking world, baby," he said, making me look at him.

"Come on, girl."

No.

Don't fall for this, Mia.

Don't forget what he did.

He killed your mother.

And he is not even remorseful. He wishes to do it again.

Don't give in to him.

I shook my head slightly. "I don't care if you kill me right now, Big Kai."

His face twitched.

"But you are sick in the head to think I will accept to be with my mother's murderer."

He kept staring at me.

"I hate you, Big Kai. I don't care how many times you saved me. It doesn't erase what you did. I hate you with everything in me. So stop trying because I will never give in to you. Never." I snarled, pushing my seat back and stormed out.

I wiped my tears as I took the same way I took up here with Caleb.

Not long later, I got to the familiar hallway. I wiped my tears as I headed for my room.

Coco approached, still dressed in her maid attire.

"Mia?"

I didn't respond but headed towards my door.

She hurried towards me.

"Mia, what happened? Why are you crying?"

I didn't respond but grabbed my doorknob, opened it, and walked in.

"Mia, wait...."
