XANDER’S POThe sun was setting, casting a warm, golden glow over the beach. I was sitting by the water, feeling the cool breeze on my face. The waves crashed softly against the shore, a soothing sound that made me feel at peace. I was lost in my thoughts, thinking about everything and nothing at the same time.Suddenly, I heard my name. "Xander!" a familiar voice called out. I turned around and saw Adeline walking towards me. She was wearing a bikini, her smile bright and warm. She looked like an angel, with the sunlight making her hair shine like gold."Adeline!" I called back, standing up quickly. My heart was racing. I couldn't believe it was really her. She looked so beautiful, even more than I remembered.She reached me and without a word, we hugged tightly. It felt like we hadn't seen each other in years, even though it had only been a few months. Her body was warm against mine, and I could feel her heartbeat matching mine. We held each other for a long time, not wanting to

ADELINE’S POVI was sitting on my bed, scrolling through my phone when it happened. My fingers slipped, and my phone fell with a thud onto the floor. I squealed, my heart racing. I picked it up quickly, fearing the worst, but it was still intact. As I breathed a sigh of relief, I saw a new message notification.It was from Xander. My pulse quickened again as I opened the message. He texted to remind me of the dinner and if I still remembered. I stared at the screen, reading and re-reading the words. Was this real? Was Xander really asking me out? I felt a rush of excitement mixed with nerves. I screamed internally, "I freaking said yes!"I quickly typed my response, my fingers trembling slightly. "Yes, I would love to," I replied, hitting send before I could overthink it. It was still early in the day, but I knew I had to get ready. This was dinner with Xander.I jumped off my bed and dashed to my wardrobe.I flung open the doors and started pulling out clothes, tossing them onto m

ADELINE’S POV"This doesn't look good. Let's go to my place instead." Xander said.I nodded, feeling a knot in my stomach. Her turned the car around and headed towards his mansion. The drive was quiet, and I kept glancing at my phone, but there were no new messages since I had no signal on my phone. What could this be about? Was I in trouble or did something happen. We arrived at Xander's mansion. The gates slowly opened, and he drove in. The driveway was long and lined with trees. It felt very calm."This is my private mansion, no one will find you here.” He said and I nod. Let's get inside," he continued, I followed him into the house. It was grand and beautifully decorated, but I couldn't focus on anything. My mind was racing. Once inside, I finally checked my phone. There was a message from Clarissa: "Check the news now.""Xander, turn on the TV," I said, my voice shaking. He did as I asked, and we both stared at the screen.There I was, on the news, but not in a way I ever

XANDER’S POVI stared at the TV screen in horror. The videos and pictures flashing before my eyes seemed unreal.Adeline, dancing seductively in her underwear, her naked pictures in hotels. It was a nightmare."CEO of AD Jewelry, Adeline, exposed as a fraud," one headline screamed. "Her real source of income: sugar daddies," another blared. I felt like I couldn't breathe.Beside me, Adeline crumpled to the floor in shock. She didn't cry or scream. She just stared at the screen quietly, as if the life had been sucked out of her."Adeline," I said softly, kneeling beside her. "Come on, get up."She didn't respond. Her eyes were fixed on the TV, unblinking. I switched off the television and gently took her hand and helped her to her feet. She was like a zombie, moving without really seeing or feeling anything."Stay here tonight," I said. "We'll handle this tomorrow."She nodded slowly, still not looking at me. I led her to the guest room and sat her on the bed. She just stared at the f

ADELINE’S POVI wake up early in Xander's guest room, feeling disoriented. The events of last night replayed in my mind like a nightmare. Xander had been so kind, offering me a room in his house. But now, I need to face reality. I get out of bed and peek out the window.The house was empty and I hoped reporters didn’t know I was hiding in here. There's no way I can go back home right now since they we’re still in my house.I grab my phone and dial Clarissa's number. She picks up immediately, her voice frantic. "Adeline, where are you?" she asked. "I'm at Xander's place. I can't go home with all those reporters outside," I explained quickly.She sighs with relief. "Thank goodness you're safe. I've been trying to reach you all night. Are you okay?""I'm okay, just overwhelmed," I admit, my voice trembling slightly."I'll bring you some clothes and anything else you need. Give me half an hour," Clarissa said. True to her word, she arrived promptly. She rushes inside with a bag filled

XANDER’S POVI walked into the house, feeling tired and anxious. The day had been long, and I was hoping to see Adeline and make sure she was okay. But as soon as I stepped inside, I knew she was not home. The house was quiet, too quiet."Adeline?" I called out, but there was no answer. I checked the living room, the kitchen, and even the guest room where she had stayed last night. She wasn’t there.I pulled out my phone and called her. The phone rang, but she didn’t pick up. I tried again, and still no answer. I sent her a text: "Adeline, where are you? Please call me." I waited, but there was no reply.Panic started to creep in. I tried to think of where she could be. Maybe she went out for some air, I thought. But she would have told me. She wouldn’t just leave without saying anything.I called her again and left a voicemail. "Adeline, it’s Xander. I’m worried about you. Please call me back."I sat down on the couch, trying to stay calm. But the silence in the house was unbearable

Today, finally, they seemed to have dispersed, and I felt a strong urge to go back home.Xander had been kind enough to offer his place, reassuring me every day that it was safer here, away from the prying eyes and questions. I was tired of hiding, it was time to finally do something about it.I found Xander in the kitchen, brewing coffee. He turned to me with concerned expression as I entered."You sure about this, Adeline?" He asked, handing me a steaming mug. "Maybe you should wait a bit longer, just to be safe."I took a sip of the coffee, feeling its warmth spread through me. "I can't hide forever, Xander," I replied softly."I appreciate everything you've done for me, but I need to go home. I need to know what's waiting for me there."He sighed, his expression conflicted. "Alright," he
