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

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
Chasing the Sun Chapter 47
Chapter 47“Do you want this”? Xavier moved the glass in his face; he let him inhale the intoxicating smell of one of the finest whiskey in the world. He saw how his eyes lit with hunger.“Isn’t it sad that I have only one glass and we both are thirsty? Let’s make it easy right. Since you know I am a fair player, I will give you equal chances to win over this ice cold glass. Give me one answer for every one question and I will give you one sip. And if you failed, I will take one sip. Let’s see who gets to finish this glass to quench his thirst. Right”?Xavier placed the glass on a table near him and turned to Sean.“I…” Sean tried to say anything but his parched lips didn’t let him. Xavier flickered his fingers in the air and Enzo left the room again to come back shortly with a glass of water and a cotton swab. He soaked the swab with water and rubbed it on Sean’s lips. Sean greedily lapped the little to none wetness and glared at Enzo who took the swab back.“Why are you targeting me
Chasing the Sun Chapter 48
Chapter 48She rubbed her eyes and then looked again. No. It can’t be. She would blame it on her pregnancy hormones, but she was getting crybaby. Over emotional at everything. She held the door firmly not to fall down but her knees buckled up underneath her and she would have fallen down if Xavier had not held her.She looked at his handsome face, his eyes that lost the shine. He had not trimmed his beard; he had not followed the skin care routine Caroline introduced him to. He might have lost a few pounds too; still he was the most handsome man on earth. She raised her fingers to touch his face but days worth exhaustion finally took over.“Carl. Baby”. Xavier panicked when Caroline fainted in his arms. He quickly lifted him in his arms and took her to the couch.“Caroline. Love. Open your eyes. Please look at me.” Xavier was rubbing her hands and feet when Tisha brought a glass of juice.“Here”. Xavier took the glass from her and leaned Caroline to his chest to make her take a few si
Chasing the Sun Chapter 49
Chapter 49Xavier had just packed her luggage with the help of Tisha as per Caroline's instructions. With him telling and explaining everything that happened with Sean in the past, Caroline felt so sorry for the fifteen years old bod who spent all his life planning revenge. Brock had explained how Xavier worked way different than his grandfather used to do. Although Caroline believed whatever Xavier told her the previous day, a word from his best friend helped her a lot. They spent two days together in Italy and then as Xavier had planned, Caroline agreed to go back home. She was tired of staying away from him. With all her pregnancy hormones and her weight gaining, she was feeling helpless in doing some of the chores. And not to mention the mouth watering and soul shattering massages Xavier gave to her feet. Her hands and her lower back. She was a goner. She felt herself floating over the candy clouds all day long. And that improved her sleep routine too. Xavier checked the imagi
