Chapter 27

Levi went silent on the other side of the phone. She was okay with Zane? He thought she hated him

not too long ago?

“Are... are you sure?" He questioned with furrowed eyebrows. Was Zane holding her at gunpoint?

"Yes, I'll be back soon so don't worry. If I need Heather to come get me, I'll call her” She didn't know

how much that sentence hurt him. He was the one offering to come get her, not Heather.

He heard Zane's slight chuckle in the background and he wanted nothing more than to reach into

the phone and strangle him to death.

"Okay then" Before she could even reply or tell him goodbye, Levi hung up and she frowned.

“I think you hurt his feelings there" Zane uttered with a chuckle and she glared at him

“Let's get one thing straight. I only said I'm okay with you because I'm already here and I don't feel

like going back yet. I've never been to Paris before and I don't know if I'll ever get the chance again”

Zane nodded slowly.

“I already told you. All you have to do is push your hatred for me far away, I know it's hard to do but

once you do that, we'll both have the best time of our lives here" She scoffed then turned towards

the window but He suddenly grabbed her face and turned it back to him carefully.

“Don't scoff at me. For the next seven days, you and I will be together alone and I'm giving you the

chance to rekindle what we had in the past. After those seven days, we can both go back to our

normal lives and pretend like the other doesn't exist. Don't you want that?" She pursed her lips.

“I don't like you" He chuckled lightly then moved his head so close to hers that their noses were

touching.

“I know but can't you pretend to like me for seven days? Let's have a no-strings attached

relationship for these seven days, are you up for it?" She bit her lower lip to stop herself from

whimpering. His husky low voice tainted with lust was doing so many horrible things to her body at

that point.

“I'll... I'll think about it" She murmured and he smiled slightly.

“Can I kiss you?" Both their eyes fell on each other's lips as soon as he asked that question. It was

obvious they both longing to taste each other's lips but Zane could see that Kiara was holding back.

Shouldn't he be the one holding back? Why was she being so difficult?

Before she could reply, her phone rang and she immediately moved away from Zane, hitting her

back on the car door.

She groaned slightly as she placed her phone on her ear while Zane groaned as he massaged his

temples. This sexual tension between both of them was messing with his head.

"Hello, Heather?" Kiara muttered into the phone.

“Kiara! I've been trying to call you! Are you okay? I just got off the phone with Levi and he said you

said you wanted to stay in Paris with Zane?" Kiara sighed.

“I only said that because Zane won't leave me alone but I actually meant I would like to stay here for

a while for my Vacation. This might be the only time I get to be in Paris so why go back home when

I'm already here?" She heard Heather sigh.

“But you're there with Zane. Remember what he did to you? Are you really sure you'll be okay with

him? He might trigger some of your memories and..."

“I'm okay" Kiara immediately interjected because she knew Zane was listening in on their

conversation and she didn't want him to know what she went through for the past two years.

“I'm really okay. I'll be back after seven days so just wait up for me. If anything happens, I'll call you

right away so you'll come take me away, okay?" Heather sighed again.

“I'm still not comfortable leaving you there alone. What if he sees you with a guy and thinks you're

cheating again then leaves you all alone in Paris?" Kiara furrowed her eyebrows at such a scenario

while Zane rolled his eyes and pressed the loudspeaker.

“You do know I can hear everything you're saying, right?"

“You do know I don't give a fuck, right?" Heather retorted and Kiara let out a snort as she giggled

slightly when she saw the pissed off look on Zane's face.

“I'll call you later, bye" Kiara hurriedly said into the phone then hung up when Zane reach out for

the phone. She knew he was about to go all Alpha on Heather.

"She won't have ever been able to talk to me like that if it wasn't for you" He grumbled with a frown

and she rolled her eyes.

"Heather and I are a package deal so deal with it" Zane sighed at the same time the driver pulled up

in front of a ginormous hotel. It was so grand that Kiara could only wince at the thought of how

expensive a night at the hotel would be

"Are we going to stay there?" She questioned and Zane turned to her with a tilt of his head.

“What, you thought I was going to come to Paris and not stay in the most expensive hotel here? You

should know me better than that, Love" He smirked then climbed out of the car while she still sat

there staring at the hotel. She was used to riches because her parents hadn't been poor and Zane

always showered with everything expensive when they were mates but in the past two years, she

had learnt that money didn't really grow on trees.

The door beside her opened and Zane's face appeared.

“If you don't get your butt out of this car, I'm going to carry you over my shoulders" Her eyes

widened and she immediately jumped out of the car.

He smiled then without her permission, he grabbed her hand and led her into the hotel and Kiara's

mouth laid agape all through as she glanced around. This hotel had to be the most beautiful hotel

she has stepped her feet into.

The receptionist, the staff and the manager immediately came running towards Zane and bowed

their heads at him which surprised Kiara. She had forgotten just how powerful and wealthy Zane

was in the human world as well.

“Mr Black, you're here. Your Penthouse is ready and every other thing you asked for has been done”

Zane nodded then was about to drag Kiara away when she yanked her hand out of his grip.

“Where am I going to stay then?" He furrowed his eyebrows at her.

“In the penthouse, with me" Her eyes widened slightly.

"Oh... and how many rooms are in the penthouse?" Zane smirked.

"About three but only one room is available because I had the other rooms closed down

temporarily. You're welcome" She almost choked on her spit. So she was going to have to sleep in

the same room with him?!...
