Chasing the Sun Chapter 39
Chapter 39Xavier was working on a file in his office when he heard his phone blaring. He fished out the phone from his pocket and his forehead creased to see Rafe calling him. “What is it”? He almost barked on the phone because usually it would be Enzo to call him if anything happens.“Boss its…” Xavier heard some distant voices behind him as if someone was shouting or instructing someone.“Rafe, what the fuck is going on”? He stood up taking his keys and wallet because his instincts were telling him something was wrong at Caroline’s office. “We are taking boss to the hospital since she fainted out of the blue. Enzo is holding her upright to go to the parking that’s why he asked me to call you”. Rafe explained and Xavier felt everything stopped for a moment. Caroline fainted? Why? How? He ran out to the stairs, not waiting for the lift to come up and down the parking.The employees saw him running down and everyone parted ways for him. He reached the parking and quickly unlocked his
Chasing the Sun Chapter 40
Chapter 40Caroline was nervously biting on her nails, as they were sitting in the doctor's clinic waiting for the test results. Xavier pulled her thumb out of her mouth and held her hand in his warm one. "Calm down Carl". He kissed the back of her hand who looked at him with helpless eyes as if telling that she cannot. "I am sorry it took me a bit time to collect the reports and arrange for your ultrasound". Just then the doctor came inside with a smiling face that put Xavier at ease. "What does it say"? Caroline pointed a the envelope in her hand. "Okay. It says you need to take care of yourself now since you are pregnant. Yes, it is a confirmed pregnancy. Apparently everything is normal but I would prescribe a few vitamins to take. Though it would be more healthy if you take fresh juices and fruits.Reduce caffeine and alcohol. And it's for you too Mr. Xavier. Smoking or drinking near your pregnant fiance can be harmful for her. So we will conduct an ultrasound now to see how
Chasing the Sun Chapter 41
Chapter 41Caroline had resumed her office after 3 days of rest. So far it was all good. They had informed Chelsea about her pregnancy but she promised she would not tell a soul. It was to make sure Caroline doesn't overwork and rest properly. The doctor had told Caroline to eat and drink anything she wanted but she had also informed her that she would be suffering from morning sickness so she should be prepared for that. But they failed to expect Xavier's reaction. He lost his shit when he didn't find Caroline in the bed one morning and found her doubled over the toilet. Caroline didn't know either to laugh at him, all panicked and shouting at everyone or feel pity for his misery. It took time for her to comfort him and make him understand that it would be the routine from now onwards. At Least for the first three months. The staff had cowardly gotten away due to his anger and finally they breathed in relief when Caroline signaled Rosa, their chef, to make lunch for her. The gua
Chasing the Sun Chapter 42
Chapter 42Caroline was exhausted and tired physically. She was mainly on liquids with just a tidbit of semi solids that she could keep for a while. Not that she felt hungry anyway. But it was mostly the lack of sleep. The morning sickness was no more a morning thing. She would feel nauseated all day long. Even at night.Xavier sighed, holding her hair up as she dry heaved in the toilet. "Baby nothing is going to come out. You already spilled out your stomach". Xavier held her toothbrush and a cup of water. She tiredly did the routine, leaning at him. "It's tiring Xav. I feel everything coming up in my throat". She took a deep breath letting Xavier take her to the bed. "I wish I could do something for you baby. Here, try to sleep now as much as you can". He gently wiped her face and spooned her and she took a deep breath closing her eyes, feeling his big hand sprawled on her stomach. She didn't know how longer she slept but she stirred, listening to Xavier talking to someone on th
Chasing the Sun Chapter 43
Chapter 43"Caroline. What is it? What happened"? This time he asked in a tight tone. Something was not right. Nothing could break Caroline easily. "You tell me Xavier. What happened"? She said in a sarcastic tone."I don't get you Caroline. Tell me. How can I understand and rectify if you won't tell me". He came forward to hold her close but she took equal steps backwards to stop him. "Don't touch me. You want to know what happened. Here. Check these and then tell me what happened"? She threw the envelope to his chest and they fell down with a thud. Xavier didn't pick them up. He was looking at her with a dark gaze. He never forgave disrespect and Caroline was stepping on every line he disliked. In the beginning he took it lightly as if something had disturbed her or upset her, but now he could see that it wasn't the woman he loved standing in front of her. "Pick up the damn envelope and look inside. And then we'll talk". She held her throbbing head in her hands. Xavier could se
Chasing the Sun Chapter 44
Chapter 44Caroline was laying down on the bed when she heard the door of the bedroom opening and then closing softly. The footsteps were swallowed by the thick carpet on the floor. She didnt removed the arm on her eyes, not wanting to see whoever it was. "Caroline. Eat something". She removed her arm to see Angie sitting on the bed with her. "I don't want". She turned her back to Angie facing the other side of the room. "It's not for you Carl. You know it's for the babies. You need to eat three times your regular meal since you have two babies living and growing inside you. You cannot stay hungry Carl. The babies with suffer and we don't want this. Right. Come on. Let's go. No body has eaten anything. They all are waiting for you". She gently held her hands to help her sit. With twins growing inside, she was starting to show a bump.She sighed letting her pull to stand. "Where is Xavier"? She asked. "In the dining. He is waiting for you too". She said. For once Caroline wanted
Chasing the Sun Chapter 45
Chapter 45."I hope my men didn't mistreat you. They are not well mannered as in your department. They only know how to speak with their hands and feet and all the weapons in between". Xavier entered the basement and saw Sean sitting on a chair. Although all he wanted was to hang him upside down like a pig and slaughter his throat. "I can see how sorry you are. And just cut the shit Xavier. I know you are upset because Caroline finally saw the real you and left you. But let me tell you, holding me down here won't do any good because I have nothing to lose. I had resigned from my job already. No family. Had a sister only to be murdered by you. So no, I don't care if you let me live or die. But I would suggest you hire a lawyer since Caroline won't deal with your case, and fight for your freedom. Because I will make sure you rot in jail forever". Sean said in a calm tone making Xavier chuckle. He dragged a chair in front of him and sat down leisurely. Though it hurt a lot to know Car
Chasing the Sun Chapter 46
Chapter 46.Xavier POVCaroline should have listened to me. She should have trusted me, believed in me rather than running off. So what if I killed a few rats to climb up the throne I have. I have never hurt her. Everyone needs power and they fight for it. I loved her and she said she loved me too so where did the love go when she couldn't stand one hardship with me. I told her the whole truth and still she chose to leave me and took my babies away too. I looked at Shelly. She was standing in front of me. Wearing a jumpsuit with a plunging V. Her brown hairs splayed in curls. And she was wearing my favorite shade of pink lipstick. Even after years, she still wears small earrings and those bracelets. I remember those were the ones I had gifted her. I met her chocolate eyes and she smiled instantly. She never wears lenses. It irritates her, besides, her eye color is so warm and attractive. She is a beautiful girl and stuck with me through thick and thin. This office has been our saf
