Three days later, Nicole had forgotten all about him, she was going to stay in her home for a few weeks or even more month, she couldn't bear to see his face squeezed in anger, or his grim look which reminded her she was his possession.She grasped the bottle of water, letting the content touch her lips, it parted apart slightly. "Thank you for coming, Nicholas." She gazed at her twin brother, her eyes trailing around his body.Nicholas casted her a cheeky smile, his blue eyes shimmering in the light, and his inky brown hair scattered around his collarbones, yet, strands peeked out, making him look like a bad rockstar, but Nicholas Hart was no rockstar, he was New York most respected CEO, the heir of the Hart enterprise. "It's nothing," His head tilted over to her, the resemblance in their face popping a little. "It's been three years I was away, what changed?" He adjusted in her office chair, examining her office, still the same."How's Emily?" Nicholas asked, his fingers drumming a
Nicole inhaled a quiet sigh as soon as their eyes met, should she look away? should she walk forward? or just stare back at him. Her heart fluttered in fear, not fear of him, but fear of what he would do to her.She clutched the hemline of her dress firmly, inhaling slowly, yet tiredly.You can do this, Nicole. He's just a man. Her legs finally made movement and she walked over to his seat, before she pulled a chair and positioned her self on it.Xander's hands fiddled with the plate as he stared at her, her hair was tied into a bun, and her collarbones shined than normal, probably because of the dress she wore exposed every part of her collarbone, and that sinister glare etched around her face.Her face was hard, probably giving him goosebumps and her stare, so rough. Her brows knitted in confusion, telling him to carry on with his words."Nicole," He began, with a low cough.She tilted her head, her brows clinking upward, before she grasped the cup of water and gulped down a little
As Xander trailed outside, with his shades on and his legs hurriedly trampling the floor, Lucas walked behind him, with the same level of pace, and far behind them, Zane walked, his hands across his chest, probably, he was in a deep thought, as numerous sighs escaped his chapped lips."What do you wanted to talk about that was a problem?" Xander said, not even daring to reduce his footsteps.Lucas clutched the tab, as he bit his lower lips. "Your were house was attacked last night.""What?!" Xander stopped, turning back, his jaw chiseling in anger.Lucas stopped in his tracks, "I don't know the full details, but it was attacked and the supplies was stolen last night, I was just informed." He lowered his head.Xander's hand flew across his jaw, who had dared to attack his were house? if he found that person, damn, he would peel the person's chin by himself."Which were house?" He asked, this time, he resumed his walking over to his car."The one in Italy," Lucas twitched his lips. "A w
Internally, she shivered when his hands made for the crook of her neck, his hot minty breath flattering on her bare skin. "You came." His voice came out rough, rowdy, and she didn't even knew she was already pushed to the corner of the wall, his head buried deeply in between her neck.She nodded gently, a sigh escaping her lips, what in the heck was he trying to do? was he trying to take advantage of her? She whimpered, her hair flipping over to a corner of her face.Her blood boiled in rage, and she pushed him aside rather harshly, shivering in disgust, she gazed up at him, looking in his lobes, something sparkled there, it made her wince, he was looking at her intently, his eyes piercing to her very soul.She felt something dark in his presence, his hands flew over to her chin, and his lips twitched rather upward, a dark chuckle escaping his lips.She was scared, for the first time, Nicole Hart was scared.Something sparked in his eyes, something dangerous, she was being drawn, she
Everyone turned to look at her, their deep sweaty like eyes probing into hers, soon enough, murmurings broke out, and everyone was soon consumed in their own thoughts about the mafia's wife.Zane cornered her with his huge body, his hands crossing across her face. "Hehe. There are women working out too, so no need to be scared."Nicole inhaled angrily, "Why would I be scared?" If there was one thing they didn't know was that, Nicole Hart had never gotten scared.Her hands blocked his body away, pushing him aside. "I work out too."He widened her eyes in surprise, his eyes scanning her delicate and thin body. "You don't look like one who actually works out." He let out a gentle laugh.Nicole ignored him, her eyes gazing over to the men who sprawled on the floor lifting the dumbbell, their muscles clenching together, some performed pushups, their hands across their back, as they lifted their face, struggling with the blood vessels that popped up in their veins.Nicole stared in pure hor
Her words set the whole place ablaze, and everyone paused, tilting their head to gaze at the woman who had dared to oppose the almighty Xander Castillo.Xander froze, his body limbing to the floor, his hands frozen in the air, taking gentle strides, Nicole walked over to him, gazing at him before she raised her hand up swiftly in the air.Slap!The noise erupted throughout the whole room, and all his men froze in still air, their body trembling in fear. Someone had dared to slap their Mafia boss?A figure charged towards her, grabbing her by the hand harshly. "How dare you, Huh?"Nicole inhaled nothing in particular, calm as usual, heck, she was calm, he posture was calm, and her presence ranged danger."Leave her." Xander's cold voice made everyone jaw drop apart, they all stared in awe.Who was Xander Castillo turning to?His lips twitched up, he didn't seemed angry, he was calm, and his presence was fresh, emitting warmth, he gazed at her like an enemy almost attacking his bait, hi
Silently, Nicole mumbled a quiet prayer in her heart, as she stepped into Xander's manor, the dark feeling enveloping her soul as the cool night breeze scattered across her hair.She gazed out the crook window, and the curtains that blew with a mighty wind, her heart still beating, slowly, she placed a hand in her chest, trampling the dark tiles on the floor. Why was she feeling scared? Was it normal for her when Xander said she was in trouble? What could he do to her, she didn't want to think much, hence, she breathed in slowly before her head tilted over to Zane."It's already night, you should go to bed." Her lips twitched upward, her voice trembled slightly.He raised a brow at her, feeling feverish, "Alright." He turned back, walking along the quiet hall, but then, he turned back, his voice growing soft. "Goodnight."Her heart warmed, and then, she noticed the door that linked to a room, twisting the door knob, she walked into the room, her hands crossed together.The door chime
Xander propped the cigar, the stench of smoke filling the whole room, as he watched Lucas discuss about Nightwalker.And, slowly, he dropped the cigar on the table, making a quiet noise, he gazed out the twinkling of the night sky, his lips perking up a bit, he turned to Lucas. "It's night, go to bed."Lucas glanced up at him, his daring black hair falling in between the crook of his neck, and his golden blonde eyes shimmering. "Yes. Xander." He walked to the door, before he excited the room, the door creaking closeXander sighed, still on his bed, his hands made way to the crook of his jaw, before he massaged it slowly, lately, loads of things had been going on in his life. First, he had to figure out who this night walker was and why she kept on constantly attacking his were house, and then, he has to get rid of her, in the most painful way he had imangined.Getting a gun close to her lips, and striking her dead, definitely what he had imagined, making her fell hell before she taste
