Chapter 122

Killian took the deal, it was either that or Kaitana would have shown up either ways to create a scene and ruin his chances of landing the job, however, he was more concerned about the fact that she'll also be exposing herself in the process of playing his pretend fiancee, putting herself in danger of getting discovered and subsequently attacked but she didn't seem to mind it, she simply said "if you think you have the liberty to risk your life for this mission, so do I and nothing you say would change my mind!" and that was final. Against his will, she drove him to NOVA in her car, canceling all of her early morning appointments just to create time and space for her new pretend role, the plan is simple, act the part of sweet, smittened and supportive partner, and make sure Lucy Rose sees and get the message clear... That he's taken and unavailable, perhaps, that will help to put boundaries between them if he ends up getting the job. She had made him swear to her that he'll keep up the charade no matter what and keep his relationship and interactions with her as professional as possible, she said "No dillydandying or I'd really ruin this whole thing for you', it wasn't a threat, it was a promise and he knows better than to test her patience

'Do you really have to do all these?' he asked as she parks her car in the allotted space and began to touch up on her makeup, this time around, she didn't go for the bold and daring look that intimidates, she went with light shades of combination that highlighted her feminine and "pretty" facial features, it gave her the homely look that gives the impression of a woman who is truly and deeply in love, and just like him, she also substituted her office wear for a strapless mini flay beige gown and platform heels before they took off. Kaitana refused to give the satisfaction of a reply, next she reached into her bag, pulls out a small velvet box and opens it to reveal and expensive diamond studded ring, sitting pretty in it, Killian, caught by surprise at her preparedness and the meticulousness of her plan, gasps loudly. 'Kaitana! What the hell? Don't you think you're going a little overboard?' he queries, begining to feel the uneasiness from the plan, mounting on him, he didn't like it one bit, didn't like that he's been forced to lie, expecially to Lucy Rose, he can't even bear to imagine how betrayed she will feel with the news, she'll think he purposely hide it from her while playing nice, it makes would him seem like someone without regards for others feelings, and Lilith, he had boldly told her he wasn't in a relationship, and now he's about to be proven as a pathetic liar. 'And why on earth do you have a ring ready in hand, oh please don't tell me you were planning to propose to me before now...' he started to tease.

'Oh please! I'd sooner hang from my toes and bleed out from my ears than propose to you! Boy that's literally incest and though I can be very freaky, I'm still yet toobe that way bro' she says, patting him fondly on the head like a beloved pet while they both laughed. 'One of my boy toys got it so bad, I really warned him but the bugger must have viewed me as a challenge he can overcome and win so easily, he took me out to this fancy ass restaurant for dinner a couple of days ago, I was gladly tearing into my steak, it was supposed to be my comfort meal after a terribly long day at work, when the idiot started to pull is crazy stunt, got on his kneels and brought out the ring and proceeded to ask me to "spend the rest of my life with him because he can't bear to live without me and he wants me to be the mother of his kids" can you imagine the audacity?! as if that wasn't enough embarrassment for one night , everyone around started clapping and chanting "Say yes! Say yes!" ' she recounts, shuddering at the bad memory that left her traumatized for days, it would have been less embarrassing if it wasn't already a public spectacle, which then made her out to be the bad guy at the end of it all.

'Oh my God! Someone was actually foolish enough to have proposed to you, what was he thinking?' Killian couldn't stop laughing, so much that tears started running down his eyes while his stomach rumbles with pleasurable pain. 'So what was your answer? Please tell me you said yes, I really can't wait to walk you down the aisle, it would be the best day of my life...' Kaitana smacks him over the head for joking at her expense.

'Say yes my foot, I declined, told him even if I ever considered getting married and having kids, it won't be to a bald headed ignoramus like him, I only agreed to go out with him because he's generous with his gifts and gestures, the sex was mid in case you were wondering...' she adds unabashed, leaving Killian mortified, wondering why he would never need to know about it. '...he got mad and heartbroken, ran off without the ring or even offsetting the bills, I paid them anyways and took the ring as compensation, I was supposed to pawn it off and get back my money but thank God I didn't, it sure does come in handy now' she picks the ring off the inside of the box and gave it to Killian his collects it reluctantly, looking it over like it's a poisonous item. 'Now be a good boy and slip it on my finger' she says with an exaggerated accent, wiggling her fingers are him while he stares back, speechless and unable to comprehend.

'And why should I do that?' he cluelessly asks
