Mayor's Addiction Chap-17*Back To The Mansion*
The walk seemed to be like a hundred miles as I brainstormed how to put it into words. What happened back in his office? The annoying part was that Derrell would not leave me alone until he heard about everything that went down in my meetup with Mr. Mayor. Everything was messed up here. All the bad vibes aside. Why the hell was my body still squirming, thinking his finger was over my skin? I felt hypnotized, and that disgusted my soul."Phoenix," I heard my name being called in a whisper, almost like somebody didn’t want anyone else to hear it but me. I scanned the area around me and found someone hiding behind a tree.Could this town be creepier? With my heart pounding in my chest, I grabbed all the courage I could find and called back, "Who’s that?"After a brief silence, a figure showed up in a red hoodie. She looked so petite and dull. If anybody saw her in the dark, they would think she was a zombie wandering around."Olivia, you scared me. What are you doing over there?" I tried

The silence filled the air, and I couldn’t help but wonder what he was thinking. Will he accept her or punish her?"Aren’t you glad?" She asked, as she too noticed how silent he had become the moment he heard her. "Mothers are horrible," he mumbled to himself, zoned out. I didn’t understand the meaning behind his words either. Why did he say mothers are horrible?"Xavier?" she called out his name in bewilderment. I bet she was so excited that she didn’t even hear it. But I did. "Yeah, sorry, what? Oh! I’m glad." It was a dead vocal, almost neutral tone. He blinked his eyes and turned his body away, probably rubbing his face in his hands."I knew you would be happy. You do not know how much I’ve missed you." Olivia quickly grabbed the courage and hugged him from behind. Something was odd. How could she not feel it?He didn’t move, instead slowly took her hands off of him and swirled to see her, but this time, he had a smile on his face."Let’s take you home. You need rest even more
Mayor's Addiction Chap-19*Riddle Wrapped Up In An Enigma*
It had been two days since that incident, and the thought of the Mayor seemed to be still stuck in my mind. Olivia’s parents took her home and decided to not talk about her pregnancy with anyone. I was told by them to not interfere in their matters, so I couldn’t step up and speak for justice. The feeling of not being able to do the right thing was killing me inside. Apart from everything going on with Olivia, Derrell didn’t stop questioning me about my little chat with Mr. Mayor. And I had no answer other than to walk away from him every time. I have made up my mind to not go near Mr. Mayor, no matter how much Derrell begs me to.I clumsily played with my food as I looked out my window. I didn’t join them for dinners or lunches ever since I found out that Mia was just feeding me well to prepare me for the lion. I had stopped believing in her fake sweetness. A stepmother can never love anyone more than her own child. How stupid of me to think otherwise. I looked at my food and the ima
Mayor's Addiction Chap-20*Rare Side*
I felt like throwing up. My hand flew to my stomach while I gagged a little."Don’t grab attention, stand still," Derrell whispered as he pinched my arm and made me scrunch my nose at him. The instant I lifted my face, my eyes connected with Mr. Mayor’s eyes. He was scanning me, and the instant I clenched my jaw in hatred and looked away from him, I heard him call for the guards."Don’t strip her,"His command caused others to whisper and me to look at him in confusion."She can get the punishment without getting stripped." The way he rolled his eyes seemed to me as if he was communicating with me through his gestures. Wow! What a generous Mr. Mayor to spare her.Oh, wait! He didn’t spare her. She was still going to get whipped. The guards left her alone after they had torn a little bit of her dress from her feet. Not too big, just a little tear. "I’ll whip her myself," Mr. Mayor decided, taking the whip in his hands and starting whipping her as a beast would. Before that, he took of
Mayor's Addiction Chap-21*She Must Stay*
Xavier Charming’s POV:I had only returned to my mansion when I found Jace standing outside my room with a look on his face that told me from the get-go what had irked him."You freed Derrell of that debt?" He followed me inside once I didn’t stop to have a conversation with him."Yes, I did," I answered, taking off my coat and walking over to the closet."That was our way of getting him. What are we going to do now?" Jace sounded more worried than I was. It was ironic because he looked pretty upset after I punished Olivia."Jace! Weren’t you the one who was against the idea of me punishing that girl?" I smiled to myself because every time I questioned him, he would lose energy trying to debate with me."You know why," he whispered."No, I don’t. There is no reason to feel bad for any of them. She lied to me about carrying my child when there was no child in her womb, to begin with. She thought she was still talking to that Xavier, who wouldn’t know right from wrong." I almost clenche
Mayor's Addiction Chap-22*I Cannot Escape*
Days went by and I applied for a job at a few places after Mr. Mayor sent me a permission letter. I even got a job, and it was unbelievable to me. I thought I would have to suffer looking for a job with no experience and no degree, but it turned out people wanted a useless person like me to work with them.‘’You have been appointed to work with Mr. Mayor,’’ I followed the old man in a grey suit. He was instructing all the selected candidates. With Mr. Mayor? I was never told what or who I would work for. I had no clue he was going to sign me up for himself. I chased the old man sluggishly, keeping my head down.‘’Welcome everyone,’’ I heard his voice emerging from a distance. He was facing the candidates. I joined them in the room and silently paid attention to his speech. I stole a jiff to glance around at the fellows: three girls, including me, and two boys.‘’Old age!" he sighed, "They might seem dependent on you all today, but they used to be just like you all once. So, treat the
Mayor's Addiction Chap-23*Ailing Wounds*
“Get inside. I am not going to stand here and wait for you the whole night,” he said, still not giving me a choice to leave.“I won’t bite,” He added but didn’t bother looking at me. I had no other option but to roll in. I managed to keep a distance between us, but since he was pretty busy on his cellphone, I felt like it wasn’t a bad idea to take a free ride home.He was breathing louder than the car engine, and I wondered what he was watching on his cellphone to make him breathe so loud. But that was none of my business. I found the awkward silence better than talking to him or arguing with him. He put the cell phone down, and that’s when I felt the heat rush to my cheeks. “Matt!” he spoke to the driver. “Stop the car.” As soon as he said that, my heart sank in my chest. My posture started shaking as I wanted to turn to him and see the details of his face, but I was too scared to do that. ‘’Change the tire,’’ he added, and my tensed-up muscles relaxed. It was queer how everyone l
Mayor's Addiction Chap-24 *It's Been A Hell Of A Ride*
His car was parked a short distance from my house. I broke away inaudibly, making certain I didn’t wake up the beast I had rambled with for no reason. As I walked to my house, a chilly breeze brushed a strand of hair from my face.I didn't even have time to knock on the door before I was glared at."Greetings, Miss Nix," Zoe muttered under her breath. She was the least valued person I had ever met. I knew her sarcasm was because of my arrival in the mayor’s car. She kept forcing me to stare, jamming my way inside. "Don’t think he did all this for some other reason. You know how he feels about me, and therefore he is being kind to us," she said, wriggling her brows and abhorring my view for a few seconds."Yeah, don’t you think the word's kind and Mayor don’t fit well together in the same sentence? I mean, like, come on, he is a monster and not even in disguise. From beating up an old man in front of his son to the character assassination of an innocent girl before the whole town, I ca
