Ghost Of A Man
…Mekayla POV…
Every day I see Xavien aimlessly wandering around the pool, he is trying, but he is not really there.
Today has been one of the particularly hard days. I did not see him the entire day. As the sunsets, he slowly makes his way back in and sits down at the table.
"Can I dish you something up to eat?"
"No, I am not hungry. I think I am going to head to bed."
I know it is only six in the afternoon, but I gently kiss him on the forehead, and he disappears again off to the room.
I decide to phone his brother, Brendan."
"Hey, Mekayla. How is he?"
"He spent most of the day by himself around the property. He has gone to bed now."
"Ask him to phone me. He probably won't, but I want him to know I am here for him."
"What has happened with Raymond?"
"They won't be pressing any charges. It was self-defense."
"Will he have to give a report or anything? I don't think he will survive

But that is a coyote.Now it should feel the same, but I can remember as if I am doing it right now.That feeling as you gently pull the trigger, a slight squeeze, the mere flick of a finger. That is the start that sets it in motion. Once you lay that index finger against that tiny pin, you have made a decision that you cannot take back.Next comes that feeling as you feel the bullet, now even if that is possible, but you f
The Billionaire Contract Laying A Ghost To Rest
…Xavien POV… It has been another week that has passed in misery. Being in my company is absolutely unbearable, not only for me but for Mekayla as well. I have really not been the best person to be around these days. I have for weeks now sat here and slowly losing my mind, but what I have failed to notice all this time is that I am losing Mekayla as well. She has grown distant from me; at first, I thought it is because she wanted to give me space. But when she stopped wanting to be around me to make sure that I am okay, then I started to notice that she is pushing herself away. This morning she came to me with tears in her eyes, begging me to please talk to her, but when I said that there is nothing to talk about, then she hit me with these very words. "I am moving out today.' Now, my first reaction was…nothing. I thought that she is running away from her problems like she always does. But then it came to me…I am her problem. She is running awa
