I put my phone down after that alarming phone call. It might be true something is going on but the information given freely this way is more dangerous than the culprit. They aim at something and the only way to find out is to do the exact opposite of what they expect.My mind is constantly thinking of what happened and who my enemies are. The death of Alexandria and my parents is something still waiting to be solved.I become restless, so I decide to walk to my office and see what documents I can go over to use as a distraction before I resume work tomorrow.My house is a huge mansion with so many rooms, it is beautifully decorated and spacious. It was made of Rocks as if to symbolize my cold personality. Its windows were as shy eyes, large to welcome any ray of sun. The solid rock walls stood firm as if sending a message to show that it rightfully belonged right where it was as if perchance it had grown up right from that hallowed ground. It was as though it had been called into exi
Leah's POV The same girl who slapped me the day before my wedding stands before me as I am about to reach ecstasy. The anger I feel cannot be explained in words. So they know each other? and she has the key card? otherwise how did she get in? Questions are running through my head and seeing her so comfortable makes me so mad.Xavier puts my pants in place and I look up at him pleading silently for him not to pick her over me. He looks sorry for a second and in a flash his mask is back again."Go to your room" he whispers coldly and that breaks my heart into a thousand pieces. I had hoped we could be something for a few minutes I trusted him with my heart though I knew he would break it over and over again.I excuse myself not glancing back again and walk to my room but suddenly I stop in my tracks. Why should I be the one to leave? Am the wife and she is the intruder, right?I fight the temptation of eavesdropping but I decide the better of it and walk to my room. I lay down on my co
Xavier's POV She agreed to go with me to the goddamn gala and I had a feeling it was a trap but looking at her might make the night bearable for me. She looks gorgeous and I can't seem to have control over my lust for her, I slowly walk behind her against my will and press my front to her back, my cock twitches and I fight the edge to rip this dress off and fuck her right now.I thought it would be nice to do something good for her after what she has been through lately, so I bought her a neckless with a tracker so I can find her anywhere in the world. It has a special feature and can only be removed with my hands because of the recognition. But of course, I don't tell her that. I slowly place it around her neck. Before I do anything stupid I move backward and motion for her to walk to the main door. Dave has the Limo ready and security on alert."I don't want anything stupid to happen tonight! Protect my wife with your life!" I instruct. I said I would never love her but I promis
Leah's POV I look at this bitch and if looks could kill she would be long gone. She dug my past for what? All those things she is trying to resurface are things that bring me pain and torture. I remember her and from her actions, I can tell she has been in love with Xavier but his so clueless and that eats me alive.I watch in horror as the man who is part of the reason why I lost all I had walk in like he is the hero and I am the villain in my own story. He tricked and played me and I fell for it like a fool. The only problem is, he is not only a crook but a very dangerous man too. I wonder if Kendra knows that once you give him your soul you can't take it back the worst part is you can't satisfy him either. He starts slowly, crawling his way up everything you own until he becomes like a cancer cell, for you to remove him you must cut a part of you. For a moment I even feel sorry for what she is about to go through. But my sympathy only lasts a second."Honey, come up please," she
Xavier's POV The first thought that runs through my mind is calling Dave hoping he has tabs on her. I can't lose her again. "Good morning …" before he can even finish I cut him off."Leah is missing!" I drop the bomb. But to my surprise, he doesn't panic. Well, he has been trained to stay calm in such situations and think with a clear head but this is different. He doesn't jump up to instruct my security team."Do I need to repeat myself?" I ask threateningly "Oh no, Sir. That is not it, I was just waiting for you to finish speaking so I could tell you that I saw Mrs. Kings on her way to you a few minutes ago" he explains.Oh.I sigh in relief, still surprised by my behavior lately. I don't dwell much on the thought because as I sit my body feels very tired and worn out. Am doing this for my stocks I say to myself as I think of sleeping for a few hours then I realize that I can't just yet because, I have a board meeting to attend, and am sure those fuckers will exhaust me. I rem
Xavier's POV I am on the verge of entering her sweet opening when I realize that I am fucking late for my meeting. As much as I would rather be inside her than anywhere else, I need to be present today. So I push my desire away and move away from her.Walking into the shower, I shut the door behind me probably leaving her very frustrated because I sure am. I turn on the cold shower and let the water run down my naked body while I think of how to deal with the damages I am expecting today.After a quick shower, I make sure I pick one of my best suits so I can look the part as I bring out the billionaire bastard in me. "Get the car ready," I tell Dave over the phone as I walk out of my room to the main door."All the best today Xavier" I hear Leah's soft voice behind me. But I don't turn to acknowledge her. One look at her will drive me nuts because just hearing her voice has already made my member twitch inside me. How does she have this effect on me?"Good morning Sir" Dave greets
Xavier's POV Getting out of the office is something else. Trying to distract me from going home with William, they follow me behind asking all sorts of unnecessary questions. "Sir, are you sure about this?" One of them asks. "Of course, people want to turn this company into a circus. If you did not steal or misuse your authority you shouldn't worry." I respond not bothering to even look back. "Don't you think this will anger the board and they will find it disrespectful?" Another one asks. Are they serious? "Respect? And why would the board be angry when my actions will ensure that all the funds are used accordingly, shouldn't they raise my salary instead?" I ask, now stopping and turning around. Enough of this game. "Thank you so much, everyone, I respect you all no matter your position in this company. This action is not meant to harm anyone but to protect your hard-earned investments. So please excuse me, the rest of the questions can be reserved for the next board mee
Leah's POV: Standing in front of my door are people that I never expected to ever see again in this lifetime. Not after what happened. Do they even have the nerve to come here? How did they even discover this place, to begin with?Of course. That bitch Kendra."Well well, if it isn't our very own Leah, will you just stand there staring or will you open the door?" my stepmother says clearly she still doesn't have any boundaries. No matter what I say they will try to ruin my life again. So I just need to find a way to get rid of them. Next time I will be very prepared. All the pain they put me through instantly flashes in my mind like someone just pressed play on a memory I have desperately tried not to face. "I don't think there is any reason for that, you are not welcome here!" I almost scream with tears threatening to drop any second. I can't let them see me like this.Oh Lord, I hope Xavier is close. "Oh wow, looks like our princess has now grown wings, she even talks back." Ann
