Xander's POV“The new strategy should be implemented by the end of this quarter, and there should be no delay.” I said to my team seated around the oval table in the conference room.Everyone nodded and I concluded, “All of you did a good job. The share price of our company is rising and I want this trend to continue. You all can start working on it now.”Everyone nodded at me and once the lights of the conference room were switched on, everyone got up from their seats and bowed to me before leaving the conference room.Once I was all alone, I closed my eyes for a second and sighed over the mind-link, “What is it, Benjamin? I told you I would be in an important meeting. Why do you keep on bothering me over the mind-link so much?”Benjamin's urgent voice came from the other end, “I am sorry, My Alpha. Actually, I made a mistake.”My eyes narrowed down. I didn't like words like mistake at all.“What mistake?” I asked curtly.Benjamin was hesitant and he stammered, “Umm… actually, can we
Zara's POV“If you want me to rethink then please me. Make me happy, Zara.”Those words wrapped in my contracted husband's raspy voice throbbed my heart and rang in my ears incessantly. I looked deeply into Xander's eyes. As always he was sure of his words. He wanted what he just said.My mind instantly went to think what would really make my husband happy? What did he actually want?The first thought that crossed my heart was divorce but I wasn't going to divorce him. What else could I give him?My mind took me back to the past few days. My jaw dropped and I was running breathless when my mind bombarded me with the images of Xander trying to get close to him.I thought to myself, “Xander was angry when I was missing from his bed on our wedding night. He wanted to fuck me after he brought me from the clubhouse. Last night, he was standing naked and he bit me hard. He was in a good mood to fuck me. This means he wants to have sex with me.”I could feel my cheeks flushing as blood rushe
Zara's POVHis last words were still fresh as daisy for me. They kept on swirling in my head, and I thought hard what would Xander do to me tonight? Though I was relieved to know that there was still a bright chance to save my career, I was worried about going back to Xander's room after the last encounter that happened in the bedroom where Xander once stayed as a child.Once the cab pulled over at the entrance of the mansion, I got down and walked up the stairs. My feet were very slow and numb and so was my mind. Last night was a hectic one, and I needed some solace; in the form of a good sleep.I was greeted by the maid who offered me a glass of water. I drank half a glass and she asked me courteously, “Madam, what would you like to have?”To be honest I was too tired to eat and I sat on the couch with a thud.I said, tired, “I don't feel like eating anything.”My body was aching terribly, and I couldn't help but lay flat on the couch.This worried the maid and she asked, “Madam, ar
Xander's POV“Aha…” Zara let out a moan that was so fucking alluring. I was about to grab her in arms and that was when she held my hand tightly.I thought she was awake but she was still in her deep sleep. Heatness built in my body and my heart raced as the grip of her fingers tightened around my wrist. First, she moaned and second, she grabbed my hand. Was she having a wet dream?My assumption made Hector dance his heart out in my head unless I saw a frown descending on Zara's face.“I am sorry for making you wait for so long,” she blabbered in her sleep.This made me more restless. So, just like me Zara was also tempted to do ‘it’ with me.Suddenly, a smile etched on her lips as she said, “But no more waiting. I will make you well soon and we will get away from this toxic world, mom.”My heart sank when I heard her. So, all that she spoke was for her ailing mother. So, whatever she did to me in the office was out of force and not willingness!This annoyed me, and I instantly releas
Zara's POVWe made it to the party location. The party was organized in ‘Della Glaze’, one of the most exquisite hotels of London. The rear door of the car was held open by Benjamin again. Xander and I stepped out of it.I still couldn't believe that Xander, who wanted to divorce me the very next day of our wedding, brought me to a public event. Why would he bring the contracted wife he despised at the business party? Was it really to test me and give a chance to claim my doctor licence back or some other purpose? I should be on alert.Both of us were welcomed warmly with a bouquet of flowers at the entrance. I was too startled by the entrance that was cladded with rich daffodil flowers, rendering their sweet scent in the atmosphere, and not to forget the lights that decorated them. If the entrance was this ethereal, how stunning would the actual party place make me?This was a business gathering of unparalleled luxury. The venue was adorned with intricate floral arrangements and tast
Zara's POVLuckily the door was slightly ajar. I grabbed the chance to tiptoe to the corner that was very close to room number 308. Not just could I hear what was going on inside but also get a glimpse of it as well.I saw Tania seated on the bed, her face was clouded with worry. The moment the man came into the room, and walked a few steps inside toward the bed, her eyes twinkled and she immediately rose from the bed.“So, here you are finally!” She exclaimed.“Oh gosh, Tania! Why would you message something that harsh to me, huh?” The man said sharply.Message? What message was he talking about?The man sounded incensed, “Do you mean those words?”Tania trembled a little before she said timidly, “Ye… yes.”The man wore a grave face before he threw his head back and let out a loud laughter.“Hahaha!”Not just me but Tania was shaken by his reaction. She grabbed the man's arm and said, “Charlie, why are you laughing?”Charlie flashed a big smile and said, “My baby is pranking me, I kn
Zara's POV“X… Xander?!” Tania stuttered, her face flushed with fear and paleness.I bet she was thinking whether Xander saw her boyfriend, Charlie rushing out of the hotel room. Not just that, she might also be wondering what if Xander would have heard the heated conversation between them.I shot a glance at Xander's face. It was stiff, his jaw tightly clenched and his face had a shade of deep red conquering its fairness showing his rage.Tania messed with the devil himself. Now in no way it would be possible for her to get out of Xander's hell that she would be pulled into.Xander asked coldly, “Why? Can't I come here?”Tania was breaking out in cold sweat. She nervously grinned, “Of course, you can be anywhere and everywhere. It's just that I wasn't expecting you to show up over here.”She took a pause before asking awkwardly, “How did you know I am here?”Xander drew in a sharp breath, and said, “I was looking for you all around, babe.”What the fuck?! After seeing and listening t
Zara's POV8 Missed Calls.Benjamin's awkwardness to tell me what Xander was calling me for.Calling me at a VVIP Suite desperately at night.All these things were hinting at only one thing. All these clues brought only one thing in my mind.SEX!That was what a husband and a wife would do in a hotel room, right?I was shuddering from outside while I felt heat building up in my body when my imagination ran wild. Xander had always been pinning me to bed. He would do the same thing with me and within a few seconds, we would be naked, our clothes heaping on the floor and then his manhood…Before my mind could continue to travel on this new chapter of sex drive, Benjamin drove me out.“Zara, Zara, are you even hearing me?” Benjamin said, his hand waving at my face.“Ye… yes,” I said, gulping down nervously.“Just take this,” he insisted. I followed his eyes that fell on the key card to my husband's room.Wait! Xander was my contracted husband. Yes, the living devil that I had always wante
