An Illicit Obsession (Mila and Killian) novel Chapter 19

Chapter 19

Tell me, was it on purpose? Jina asked as she aimed a punch at my face. I dodged it.

“Careful with my face–I won’t be able to hide the bruise,” I said, blocking her next attack from hitting my shoulder. She was collected and focused, while I was already panting after twenty minutes. I didn’t get as much time as I should have to train. Yet, she always managed to drag me onto the mat whenever she got the chance.

“You were very adept at hiding the marks after that night at the beach house.”

“Can’t we just let it go?” I attacked, but she blocked it head–on and didn’t let go, twisting my y wrist. I didn’t make a sound at the pain, only gritted my

teeth.

You slept with the boss of the Shadow Knights, and he’s married,

That did it. I flushed at the reminder of my very complicated situation and freed myself from her hold.

“Technically, he’s not married” I kicked, but she was waiting for me to get impulsive. She grabbed my leg, turned swiftly, and struck me with her elbow on my shoulder. The movement was so quick I staggered back but managed to stay on my feet. It would have been too embarrassing if I had

See! Just the mention of him makes you impulsive,” she said, raising an eyebrow to make her point

We circled each other. My focus was entirely on her, trying to predict her next move. I didn’t react

“Now tell me, was it on purpose?” She kicked. I blocked. She punched. I bent over, letting her punch miss me, then struck her shoulder and her side as she moved. Her movements were too swift to give me a real opening. When I still didnt–answer, she used brute force–grabbing me by my thighs, throwing me down knocking the breath out of me, flipping me, and twisting my wrist. My cheek was planted against the mat while my whole body ached.

“You’re good at defending yourself. Why don’t you attack first?”

“Worried about… ruining your pretty face?” I said between pants

She twisted my wrist harder.

Wh! Ah! Ah! Stop!” 1 groaned.

Answer me first.”“”

“About what!”

“Cullenging Killian K

Knight Was it so he would try to find the location of Pabonus, or was in just an impulsive reaction?”

“Why does it matter? It’s going to work in our favor.”

I need to know!!

“Alright! Alright! Let go of me first, and I’ll tell your

She did, and I blew out a breath. “Hourstly, why can’t you just let it go?” I flipped onto my back and took her extended hand as she pulled me up. was impulsive. But now, it’s working in our favor. With Killian Knight on her trail, she’ll make a mistake. And now that Mr. Anderson has her and Killian’s CCTV footage, she’ll be too busy to take careful steps.

“Why don’t you just adm

“What?” I couldn’t look at her. I walked over to a bench set against the wall, picked up my water bottle, took two gulps, and wipesh my mouth.

You’re reckles because of him”

“You’re affected by lum”

1 looked at her, then shook my head–unable to deny her claim, unable to accept my feelings. Killian Knight was haunting my streams, and now, even here.

“You’re on a dangerous road”

I sat down and pulled out my silver cigarette case and a lighter Jina frowned as I took out a cigarette, lit it, and pressed it between my lips

“Really?” She sat beside me with a tired huff, taking a towel to wipe the sweat from her neck and face.

“You’re going to ignore me?” she asked, putting the towel down.

“I don’t know what to say I exhaled the smoke, feeling the tension leave my muscles. “I’d rather you not keep reminding me. I already know all the facts. And besides his visit to Adeline, I haven’t seen him in a week. Right now, I need to focus on what’s more important? I took another long puff

“But besides our efforts with Project l’atronus, you’ve now involved the Heir of Slytherin.

I looked at her, shocked “Did you just reference Harry Potter!”

“Don’t look at me like that. Kevin keeps calling him that‘

“He’s not Voldemort,”

“That’s why Kevin calls him the “Heir of Slytherin–the handsome version, she shrugged.

“Oh, please don’t laughed.

“He is a Slytherin,” Jins insisted,

Internally, I could only agree with the handsome part. A silence fell between us as I smoked.

“I know I must sound like your mother or something, but after last time…

Last time, I emphasized, stopping her before she went any further. “I was sixteen and foolish. Let’s not talk about that.”

“That’s enough. We have more important things to do. Where’s Revin? “Revin!” I stood and walked out of the training room, exhaling another puff

When I got to my room. I shrugged off my coat and stepped into the clull air at the door of my balcony, shivering at the temperature change. I took a swig of wine, then another. The thick, bitter sour taste slid down my throat, spreading warmth through me. I smacked my lips.
