Mayor's Addiction Chap-42*Own Mistakes*
I was shaking when I watched him come closer. My mouth was beginning to turn dry at the sight of a snake. There was no way he could have figured out my fear of reptiles. Could it be the files he talked about when he said he had found all the information on me? With Zoe crying, and him holding what I feared the most, I was slowly losing my posture. My plan of not showing anyone my weakness was slowly wearing off."Phoenix," he came to a halt right in front of me, just so he could hunch over and look me in the eye."Let her go," I said, keeping a straight face, but the tears forming in my eyes showed how scared I was. I hugged myself, sticking my stare into the space to avoid stealing a glance at that snake."But she would never help you out. Why do you want to save her and not yourself?" he murmured with his eyes on the snake as he slowly took it out of the cage. My muscles were cramped at the sight of it."Sometimes we need to get out of our mean self-dilemmas and just do what’s right
Mayor's Addiction Chap-43*Sleeping Beauty*
Xavier Charming’s POV:I watched her for a moment before I stepped away from her. What she said about not using my past to hurt others stuck with me. Her words left me speechless. Why is she so convincing? Everything she says always makes sense. I was so lost that I didn’t even notice she had run out of the room. My body shuddered when I heard a painful shriek coming from outside. Exiting my room in a panic, I ran toward the source of the screams. My heart stopped for the first time.I’ve never cared for anyone, not in a very long time. For me, life and death, pain and relief, were the stages of life. But just the thought of her in pain frightened me. I didn’t think twice before running like a maniac. I quickly searched the hallway. The voice must have come from downstairs. Even though I could hear my mother tell me to leave Phoenix in pain, just the thought of it was making my heart restless. Upon reaching the top of the stairs, my entire world came crashing before my eyes when I sa
Mayor's Addiction Chap-44*Cold Father*
Phoenix’s POV:I couldn’t believe this man did this to me. He slept with me when he found me unconscious."You are so cruel," I muttered in my mouth, trying to get up and force myself to regain my posture but failing miserably. I saw him leaning over a bit and breathing out a breath full of exhaustion. "I gave you shelter, and this is how you are gonna repay me?" His eyes had a hint of anger in them. He didn’t care if the person in front of him died; he just wanted to feel like he was the in-charge of everyone’s life.He sucked his lips after the completion of his words and postured his back straight, shrugging his shoulders.‘’And you raped me,’’ I yelled with my eyes closed. Even the thought of him touching me made my skin crawl. I scanned his face in hatred, but there was nothing there: a blank.“I did?” He raised a brow and for the first time, "I --- wow! what made you---," he closed his eyes and then laughed, making me feel disgusted with him. Like what the hell was seriously wr
Mayor's Addiction Chap-45*Mood Swings*
"Zoe, don’t do that," I yelled, my lungs beginning to bleed from behind the closed door. I wondered if they could even listen to me. But there were a lot of noises coming from downstairs. It was as if he was beating up Zoe's or Mia. I was now able to recall how rough he used to be to my mom when she was alive. I was only a child when I would find him throwing water in her face or even coffee whenever he didn’t like something she said. He was always abusive, but this has gone too far."Zoe?" I called out to her again to stop her from making that mistake, but she never responded to me. I sat down on the cold floor again, my back against the wall, and began sobbing. If Mayor comes here, Derrell and he will make sure they make my life miserable.I don’t know when I dozed off on the floor, but when I woke up, I realized there were more noises coming from the ground floor this time.I forced myself up and reached the window. Seeing cars and recognizing them made my body shudder. He was here

"Please leave." I turned my face to the other side and demanded he leaves. At least now I knew Derrell would not dare touch me since he was so afraid of the mayor. But that didn’t mean I would forgive Mayor for all the times he mistreated me."He is my father. I will deal with him from here," I yelled, pushing him away. It was the anger from all the times he made me feel shitty. He thought he could win my heart by hitting my dad. Not so long ago, he was ready to conquer the world for Olivia. I would have been glad if someone who really cared enough had helped me. But he never did anything for others. His personal benefit was always there."Does that mean he owns you?" he shouted in my face. My body reacted in self-defense. I stepped back instantly when he turned into a fireball."Yes," my lips quavered as I spoke in a soft whisper. I sort of figured I was pissing him off, so my answer was just to annoy him. Looking into his eyes, I felt a wave of hope taking place. There has to be som
Mayor's Addiction Chap-47*Limitless*
I looked at my image in the mirror, and the bruises made me realize Derrell had never looked at me like a father looks at his daughter. My heart ached at the thought of living the life of an orphan. There was something bothering me deep inside. Xavier reacting to the bruises on my face and then publicly threatening my father and showing concern baffled my mind.He might have made many promises to Felicity and Olivia in private, which I am to this day not aware of, but to me, he fought in front of everyone. I bit my lip before I hissed at the pain that struck my body when I remembered the bruise on my lip."I must not think of him. It is fine to fall for someone else. I can give Jace a chance and even let him know that we should start by being friends," I told myself as I refused to keep thinking about the mayor’s actions.I switched my cellphone on and stared at the blank screen for a few minutes; there were no calls or text messages from Jace.Me: Hey!I couldn’t deny the fact that t
Mayor's Addiction Chap-48*Hand In Hand*
I thought he was going to punch me, but when I opened my eyes again, I found a hole in the wall. His hand was bleeding, but his fist was still pressed against the wall."If it was someone else, it would have been their face, not this wall," he muttered in a grumpy voice. Tears of anger had appeared in his eyes this time."You are a monster," I muttered at his face, not really afraid of him anymore. So what if he punches me? It’s not like I am not getting punched with their verbal abuse."You say that again---" he tapped his fist on the wall and stepped closer, making my back press hard against the wall behind me. However, I didn’t break the eye contact with him. "And you will humiliate me in front of the town with false accusations like you did to Felicity?" I didn’t let my voice shake this time. We have been going back and forth for months. It was time he heard it from me."I did not punish her for nothing," he retorted as he closed his eyes in anger."You punished her because she
Mayor's Addiction Chap-49*Nasty Mayor*
"See! I don’t like it when you make everything sexual." I complained, and the grin faded from his lips."OK, I won't do it again," he said quickly, lowering his head. I could feel the confusion in his body language. Was this the real him? Was he a gentle giant before his angry outburst?"Now, where is the first aid kit?" I asked, eyeing him to sit silently on the couch and point me in the right direction. He did as I asked him.I took the kit from the shelf and sat near him. For a moment, this guy didn’t seem like someone with whom I had grown into a love-hate relationship. He seemed broken, like me.I wanted to ask him about his mother to learn about his past. But I didn't know where to start."Mr. Mayor," I said, clearing my throat and slowly taking his wounded hand in mine. His touch always gave me goosebumps. I felt his muscles stiffen when his hand rested in mine."Xavier," he corrected me in an utterance. His body was swirling in my direction with his head down and his eyes rais
