Zara's POVI felt an unexpected solace in the devil's arms. It was unlikely of him to hold me like this. Was I really wrong in assuming that Xander was a living devil? His warmth not just relieved me but also made me feel guilty about how I kept on despising my husband?While my head was pressed against his chest, my gaze was at the doors of the operating room.After one long hour, the doors opened and I immediately pulled myself away. Eagerly, I rushed toward the doctor, Xander coming behind me.I asked, “Doctor, did everything go well? My mom is alright, right?”The doctor nodded before he said calmly, “Yes, the operation went successful, and your mom is out of your danger.”This brought tears of joy to my eyes. I asked him, elated, “Can I get to see my mother?”The doctor shook his head and clarified, “Mrs. Creswell needs a very good rest. She will have to stay for a week in the ICU.”I nodded, and the doctor continued, “We will monitor her for one week. If everything goes well, sh
Zara's POVNervously, my eyes gaped into Xander's hot body that was slowly getting exposed when he unbuttoned his shirt more. But after three buttons, he stopped abruptly.“Do you want me to go all the way down?” His frosty words made me jittery and I immediately shot my head up, my eyes filled with awkwardness.His gaze was as cold as ice. Keeping the blazer on the couch, Xander said, “Let's have dinner.”Xander walked up to the table and so did I. Both of us took our seats, and I saw Xander silently picking up the lids, and filling the plate with some food.I did the same. Alertly, I was biting the food down. Again there was a wave of silence. So, was Xander really not going to do anything to me?We were done with our dinner and all this while my gaze was on Xander but he didn't look at me even for once. I was such a fool to think Xander wanted to do ‘something’ to me. How did I forget that he was the one to slap the divorce papers right in my face after our wedding night?I looked
Tania's POV“So what that nurse told me was absolutely right,” I thought to myself, my eyes shooting daggers at Zara and Xander.When Zara was on her way out of the private suite, I hid myself behind the door.My hands scrunched into tight fists when I saw what just happened between Xander and Zara.Just half an hour ago, I saw Xander's car outside the Lennon Hospital. I was happy as Larry assumed that Xander took the time out of his busy schedule to see me. Time passed by but Xander didn't come to see me.What was taking him so long?I went to the parking lot, and I was shocked to not see Xander's car on the spot where I had seen it. Since Xander was an infamous business tycoon, someone or the other would have known why Xander came to the hospital and when did he leave.When I was heading back to my office, I caught a nurse passing by and asked her, “Hey, did you see Xander Walters in the hospital?”The nurse nodded, “Yes, Madam.”“Is he still here?” I asked.“Madam, he left some 20-
Zara’s POVAfter a heated argument with Xander that I wasn't expecting to come up, especially after how he had been nice to me lately, pissed me off completely.After leaving the restaurant, I took the cab to the Lennon Hospital to check on my mother. I was feeling too low, and meeting my mother would help me kick this livid state out.I met the doctor who operated on my mother in his cabin, and asked him seriously, “How is my mother, doctor?”The doctor raised his head from the files and took off his reading glasses and said calmly, “She is doing good as of now…”Wow! That was great news, and I already had my lips curling into a smile until I got to hear the doctor’s next set of words.“But we will have to continue to monitor her health, Zara. She will have to be kept in the Intensive Care Unit for two more days.” He said gravely.My face got pale again. All I could do was pass a faint smile to the doctor as I mouthed, “Thank you,” before getting up from my seat and leaving his cabin
Zara's POV“You haven't answered me yet, Zara! Did you give another reason to Xander to get mad at you?” Benjamin asked me gravely.That was so unlikely of Benjamin. He had never sounded THIS strict!He sensed my silence as a yes and immediately said in a condemning tone, “Zara, why do you keep on doing this? Do you even realize who your husband is?”Xander's sudden missing was surely serious because I could see worry clouding all over Benjamin.I cleared my throat and said, “So what? You shouldn't poke your nose in our matter. Don't forget Xander and I are husband and wife.”When I returned my head to the plate of food and took a bite, Benjamin gaped at me incredulously.“Fine,” he said brusquely on realizing that I wasn't going to entertain him any further.Turning to Stacy, he said, “Once the Young Master is home, inform me, okay?”“Yes,” Stacy replied, worried.As I was munching on my food, I wondered where my husband could possibly go.Wait! Tania called me last night. Could it b
Xander's POVI was fucking tired of this chick who was clinging to my bicep right now. Like a bee, she had been pestering me to meet her, repeatedly inviting me to have dinner with her.I tried to avoid her but she wouldn't just concede. When I asked her the reason why she wanted to meet me at dinner, she told me it was just her way to express gratitude to me for granting Zara the same internship as hers.Tania definitely had something up her sleeve, and I decided to accept her invitation and walk up to this fancy restaurant, my senses alert enough to decode what this hypocritical woman had got in her mind.I was pissed off by Tania by now but what fucking pushed my buttons was the sight that laid in front of my eyes. MY wife was nestled in someone else's strappy arms. And that someone else was my friend, Andrew.My breaths went raggy and my wolf was running out of control. I fucking hated seeing my wife so happy in his arms. Her face was lit. When I would fucking trying to corner her
Zara's POV“Huh-” I got breathless and spat out the glass of water when Xander said the most unexpected thing in the world.Everyone on the table was shell-shocked except for my husband, Xander.I coughed incessantly and tried to regain my composure but my throat muscles tightened with uneasiness when Andrew questioned, “Zara, are you married?”I couldn't face Andrew who was seated next to me. Just a few moments back, I introduced him as my boyfriend in front of Xander and Tania and now Xander came up with this revelation.All I could do was pass a sharp-eyed glance at Xander.Smirking darkly, Xander had his eyes on mine, but his words directed toward Andrew.“Yes, she has a husband, and I wonder why she would cheat on him with multiple men.”If he wasn't enough, Tania butted in, “Eww, Zara! This is ridiculous. You are playing with two men or even more than that.”She wore a disgusting face but deep down, I noticed a hidden smirk. She was probably happy with how I was defamed.My gaze
Zara's POV“Xander, what are you doing?” I said, my breath stifling in the back of my throat.My eyes widened when a naked Xander was hovering above my petite body, his sturdy arms clasping my soft palms and thrusting them on the bed. He just had his towel covering his lower half but from the way he was growing rash, I was scared that it might fall off at any fucking second revealing the fleshy part that I had seen a couple of nights back when he came out of the shower all naked and excited to use me!The more Xander's smoky body with hot drops of water pouring down on my cleavage, got closer to me, the more my heartbeats spiked up messily.“Xander!” I cried out, trying my best to release my hands but he had me pinned on the bed as if I were his prey.Surely, I was. The way he had me caged by his hot body and fluffy bed underneath, I feared that he would be doing what he had awaited but missed out on our wedding night; sex!He spat right on my face, his hot breaths burning against my
