CHAPTER 2

2501 Words
Killian King has arrived. After a round of pleasantries between her father and the assistant Miles, Liona, who had been sitting in the back watching silently, finally figured out what was going on. Why was her stone-faced father who never had a smile on his face is openly flattering this tall, handsome man so much? Was this a cooperation between two parties? And the target of her father was this man her father calls him Mr King? Who is he? Was he going to benefit her father's career? Maybe. He looks like he doesn't really belong to this world. He didn't even look at her father from beginning to the end. All the conversations continued with this assistant next to him. He seemed quite bored. Killian seemed to sense that someone was watching him, and his eyes accurately caught that gaze. Liona didn't expect that she would be discovered when she was peeking at him secretly, and after being stunned for a moment, she smiled embarrassedly. Killian raised his eyebrows. It seemed that this little girl was quite bold and not as reserved as those delicate girls, his grandma arranged for the blind dates. He was a bit intrigued by this girl. Does she not know what her one smile does to him? Doesn't she know the danger she can bring in her life by drawing his attention? She is playing with fire. Mr Milton watched as Mr Killian King, who had zero interest in everything but kept watching his daughter with smiling eyes? What is happening? "Come here, Liona, this is Mr King." Liona's father introduced her with a smile. Killian glanced at him. He had seen all kinds of people, and thought that he could hide the fear in their eyes by putting on a smiling face. It was hideous. "Stop smiling, it's a bit ugly..." "...." The face of Mr Milton suddenly changed, and Liona was so surprised because in her life she never saw anyone disrespect her father, let alone talk to him in that way. She wanted to laugh so hard. Mr Milton did not give up, "Mr King, you are now in your prime, do you have anyone on your mind?" Then he looked at her daughter, noticing that she didn't care about their conversation. If it was someone else, they would do their best to draw his attention. But this daughter of his was really useless. Mr Milton wanted to tell her to take advantage of this situation and get Mr King's attention, but Lionel completely ignored her father's glaring eyes and got up to go to the open balcony thinking she had offended her father and was disturbing their meeting. Killian watched everything with cold eyes. He wanted to laugh when the little girl ignored her father's excessive gestures and walked away completely clueless about everything. The look on Mr Milton's face was worth watching. This girl was fascinating. The more he watches her, the more he gets fascinated. He really wanted her. As if he was obsessed with it. He has seen all kinds of beautiful women, but this girl's pure innocent appearance, who has never seen the world, makes him want to ruin her even more. Break her to make her his completely. "Mr King, my daughter just turned 18, she doesn't really know how to connect with people, she doesn't meet on a daily basis, so please forgive her rudeness. If you want, I will bring her here to apologize to you." Mr Milton apologized with a smile. "No need to go to so much trouble," Killian interrupted directly, "I've said it before, it doesn't matter who I marry, the important thing is she will give birth to my future heir obediently." As soon as Killian finished speaking, even though Mr Milton had already known his plan, he was pleased to know Mr King was giving him face by agreeing with him for marriage. "Although Donna is my niece, I will treat her better than my own biological children." Killian looked at Mr Milton and said in a resounding voice, "Let's put it this way, if my future wife is not good to Donna, then I will not have my own child with her." "Haha..." Mr Milton's smile was a little forced this time. "Well, have you already decided who you chose to be your bride? She must be very qualified." He did not dare to mention his daughter, fearing he would offend this man by his daughter's careless behavior. Killian watched indifferently, lowered his head and said softly to Donna: "Do you remember what uncle said to you before he went upstairs? Look up." As Killian finished speaking, the room suddenly became quiet. Everyone was waiting for the little girl's answer, one minute, two minutes... Just when everyone was about to lose patience, Donna finally raised her head. Liona was stunned. Wasn't this the little girl she bumped into in the lobby? She was actually looking at the child beside Mr King all the time. The child seemed to realize something and glanced at Liona, and Liona gave the child a kind smile in return. The child seemed to be frightened. She quickly lowered her head and froze, clutching the toy in her hand. Killian looked at Liona strangely. Liona also looked puzzled. She thought that she should be quite popular among children and would not scare anyone. Little Donna suddenly leaned towards Killian and closed her eyes feeling tired. "Donna is sleepy. I'm going to take her back to take a nap." Killian stood up and was about to leave while holding Donna. "Mr King, the corporation not over yet?" Mr Milton said anxiously. "It depends on whether she is willing or not." Killian pointed at Liona. "I..." Liona pointed at herself stupidly, feeling like something was wrong. She got chosen for what? Everyone in the room looked puzzled. What does this have to do with Liona in the room? "Where is Mr King?" Mr Milton came back from a trance and finally realized what he meant by choosing his daughter. was the Killian King interested in his daughter? Unbelievable. "Mr King is gone," Miles said. "...." What about the future corporation? Was it a done deal or not? "Mr. Milton, I think we should stop talking here today. As for the cooperation, I will contact you after I go back to the company and discuss it with various departments." Miles suddenly stood up and said. "Oh, okay. I'll wait for your news then." When Mr Milton heard about cooperation, his expression suddenly became serious. Then Mr Milton even personally saw them off to the door. After making sure that they had left, he closed the door with a helpless look on his face. He was worried that Mr King is not going to do business with him. "And you...how did you get here?" Mr Milton turned to Liona and yelled. "Father, I didn't mean to do that. I didn't know you were here for an important meeting today." Liona said guiltily, "I just couldn't find you. I had no other choice. That's why I rushed in without hesitation when I saw you just now." "You should not have come here, Liona, not without my permission." He was so worried about his future he forgot that his daughter had been chosen by Killian King. "Father, I just wanted to talk to you, am I really that bad? Why don't you care about my feelings? Why am I not allowed to live like an normal person? I have every right to continue my studies further. I want to have my own career. They won't let me apply until you give them the nod." "..." Mr Milton thought for a moment, then turned around and said to Liona, "I ignored you because your face, your eyes reminds me of your dead mother. Talking about rights, you should feel lucky to still live a luxurious life. And I achieved this position by working hard. You had better pray that you did not offend Mr King in any way, or else I will be Ruined!" After saying that, Mr Milton avoided Liona and walked out of the room. Liona wanted to chase after him again, but the door slammed shut. She leaned against it and didn't chase out again. However, she couldn't stop her tears from streaming down her cheeks. "No, I won't give up, I will fight for my own rights to the end." . . . Paradise is a villa complex in the suburbs of the city. Because it was built earlier, it is not very far from the city center. But at the same time, because of the location, most of the people who live here are either rich or noble person. The King family was one of the earliest residents here. The white three-story villa has a European architectural style, and the garden is full of flowers, trees, fountains and sculptures. At first glance, it looks like a purely Western style. Killian's Grandmother looked at her only heir of the King family, her grandson playing with his gun in the yard from the balcony on the second floor, frowning deeply. "Mom, what's wrong?" Killian's father saw his mother standing on the balcony for a long time and her face became worse and worse and he couldn't help asking. "It's your son." Grandma sighed and went back to the living room. Killian's father followed the direction his mother had just gone, glanced at his son who was practicing his shooting in the huge yard, then turned around and followed his mother to the living room. "What's wrong? You have a gloomy face all day long." He saw his mother coming down from upstairs with a gloomy face again, so he put down the half-read newspaper and asked. "You don't worry at all." Grandma rolled her eyes at her son. "Who has offended you again?" He asked. "It's still your son, Killian..." Grandma said worriedly. "Killian? Isn't Killian doing well?" He asked, puzzled. "You just work all day long. Have you ever cared about your son's affairs?" "Why don't I care? I was also very worried about him. He is fine, even though he has his own interests, he is still a very powerful top business person in the business world. My son is the best. You are worrying for no reason" said his father. "Do you think I am worried about his career?" Grandma said, "Killian is already 30 years old but in his entire life he never showed any interest in women. What will happen to the next generation? Will it come or not? Will I be able to die peacefully after seeing my great-grandson? What kind of father are you? You don't even care about this? I wish there would be someone who would teach him about humanity..." Killian's father had no expression on his face, because he truly didn't understand what the heir of the King's Empire would do with sentiments and emotions. The moment Killian sat on the Mafia throne, he cannot go back to being a human being. He also left all of his sanity behind. But he did not dare to argue with his mother because it wouldn't end well. He doesn't want to get beaten up by her because last time she hurt herself while beating him. "Killian's temperament is getting worse and worse. Sometimes I feel afraid to even think if my only grandson loses his sanity, what will happen to the future heir." "Killian is different, he doesn't listen to anyone. He had responsibility at a very young age. It's normal for him to have a bit of temper." said his father. "I won't argue with you." Grandma refused to discuss with her son. "Anyway, I just remember the Doctor told me that the best way is to use family-style care to slowly smooth out his temper. We have to let him get married, or I won't be at peace." "Killian knows what he wants from his life better than us, no one can force him into it. Don't think about it too much." "Do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand? I said that Killian should get married and have his own family and children soon." "So you have been arranging blind dates for Killian these days," Killian's father asked. "That's right!" Grandma was a bit excited. "What's the result?" "It's not particularly ideal," Grandma said, a little unnaturally. "It's more than unsatisfactory. It's even spread to me. You've approached all the daughters of well-matched families. When they heard you were looking for a wife for Killian King, half of them wanted to marry him on the spot, and the other half kept asking for his address, wanting to know him closely. But what's the use? But Killian refused access. How could just anyone meet him without Killian permission." His father said angrily, "Aren't you kidding me? If you keep going like this, you'll affect the relationship between the family." "Why am I being so silly? I'm doing this for your son." Grandma immediately became unhappy because she herself knows that if Killian doesn't want to, no one on this earth can change his mind. "I know you are worried that when Killian gets married in the future, you should leave this matter to him, but you can't force him in reality." Killian stood at the corner of the stairs and listened for a long time. He probably knew what his grandma was worried about. His cousin sister died, leaving Donna all to their care. When he was just 16, because of his father's bad health conditions, he took over the Mafia Empire directly. He has always been a closed-off person, not even his own mother could warm his stone heart. It's just in his nature, his cruelty defines his power; he excludes over everyone. It's not good for him to lose focus because of a woman, so he never went down that line. He was always a self-controlled person. No woman with fake plastic and a fake smile could make him melt. He just doesn't feel anything, let alone think about marrying them. Killian also wants to experience what it feels to be human again. He wants to feel alive. But who is so capable as to letting him feel that excitement, the interest he never felt before? Killian suddenly thought about that girl, Liona Milton, only 18, but her braveness was really said to be praised for. She did not fear him, no matter how many women who dared to flatter him deep down, he knew that they were equally terrified of him. But he doesn't like cowards. He himself is a King. He wanted his fearless Queen. Who would make eye contact with him and tell him exactly what she wanted from him without any fear. "Grandma... let's get married." Killian suddenly said. Everyone in the room was shocked! . . .
