Once Upon A Christmas
...Xavien POV...
It was a cold rainy Christmas night; the Caruso Family returned home after an eventful evening full of laughter and smiles at their dear family friends, the Johnsons. It was relatively late, and my father did not feel confident to take the long way home, so I offered to drive instead. Now driving in the rain is not something that makes me feel at ease. Yet that is not an excuse for what happened only but five minutes after we pulled onto the icy roads.I was going at a fairly decent speed, taking my time and safely navigating my way through the pouring rain. The mood was joyful; we were making plans for the after Christmas party for the next day. It was Caruso Family tradition only to hand out presents the day after; my mom used to say that then it is more appreciated for giving a gift on Christmas day was more of a task than a pleasure.With only a few minutes into our trip, the car caught an ice patch on the road, the tires slipped sharply to the riRelated chapters
The Billionaire Contract A Mother's Pain
MEANWHILE IN THE HOSPITALCatalina just walked in with Grant and heard that Mekayla almost died. Her face turns as white as snow. She can not believe what she just heard Tina say. But Mekayla's mother will not let this go down so easily. She is ready to fight with someone. Not because of Mekayla's accidents but because her party has been ruined. So she walks with fury in her steps towards Catalina."What is she doing here?""Honey, you know that she needs to be here."Catalina does not hear one word that Mrs. Winters has to say. Her complete focus is on Tina. She put her hands on Tina's shoulders, and Tina looks at her hands. Then it is as if Catalina remembers who she is. For a moment, she forgot who she is and where her place is because Mekayla is the most important person in her life."I am sorry, Miss Winters. I did not mean to offend you, but can you please tell me why did you say that Mekayla almost died?"Tina looks into Catalina's eyes and reali
The Billionaire Contract Letters From Beyond
…Xavien POV…Sitting here in the darkness, there is a little piece of me that is slowly dying. I have never felt such a connection with a woman before; I cannot bear to be away from her for one second. Yes, I have had my share of women, but none of them comes close in comparison to Mekayla. As long as I hear that machine beep, I know that there is still hope for us. I know that when she opens her eyes, the first thing that I shall do is go down on my knees and beg her forgiveness. After that, I will open my heart and soul to her; I will express the love that I feel in my heart for her. I have only met her, but I feel a deep love in my heart for her.I know, there is that absolute certainty that she shall soon return from where she is. So I step out of my corner for a moment; I need to feel the warmth of her touch again. I take her soft hand into mine and gently squeezes her palm. There is a smile that grows at the corner of my lips; the comfort of her touch l
The Billionaire Contract Finding Your Way Back Home
…MEKAYLA'S HOSPITAL ROOM……Catalina POV…I cannot believe this is happening. I should have told Mekayla the truth a long time ago. Now I am sitting in this dreadful hospital room; it is torture beyond compare. Every moment that the clock ticks it is one more second that Mekayla is away from us. My heart feels ripped right open; not knowing what is happening is slicing every bit of me open.I lay my head against her chest to hear if I can listen to his heart beating. I know that as long as that machine is making a noise, then I know that she is alive as long as that machine breathes for her, that she will wake up. She is just sleeping; she is just tired.But just as then I hear that noise, a man clearing his throat. I turn my eyes to the corner and call out, "Is there someone here?"I wait for an answer, but my question goes unnoticed. Just as I am about to rise from my chair, I see a very handsome young man that steps out of the c
The Billionaire Contract Twinkle Of Joy
…BACK IN THE WAITING ROOM……Catalina POV…All chaos has broken loose in the Winters family.Mrs. Winters is making it clear that she does not want to be here. Regardless of Grant's constant request to say calm and to stop worrying about her damn nonsense, she clearly refuses to listen to him. Her actions are raising a few eyebrows from Tina. It is only but time, and the secrets are going to be out.As for Tina, she is completely devastated, something that I never thought I would see from her. All she does is watch this craziness in front of her unfold. I walk over to her, where she is sitting alone on the one side of the room, with her hands in her hair. I can hear her crying, but she is too scared to show her face, for she knows that Mrs. Knightly shall not approve of her showing tears to a sister that is not truly hers. Like Mrs. Winters used to say that Mekayla is the bastard child in the family.So I lay my hand gently on her
The Billionaire Contract A Betrayal That Cuts Deep
…Xavien POV…There is a man who has just entered Mekayla's hospital room, I have no idea who he is, but he seems somewhat irritated by my presence. I can only think that he is a family member that must have come from out of town. Not having to cause any problems, I politely get up to greet the man before I go."Hi, sorry I am intruding. I am Xavien," now I need to think of my next words very carefully. "I am a friend of Mekayla.""Well, it is good to see that she has some friends down here. I am Damian, Mekayla's fiancé."At the very mention of the word, I get knocked down to my knees as a suffocating grip takes hold of my heart. Mekayla never once mentioned that she had a fiancé. Why would she lie about such a thing? Do I even dare to ask? This is none of my business; I think I have once again overstepped a line that should not have been crossed.It is with a very heavy heart that I make my way out of the hospital room; not givin
The Billionaire Contract Saying My Goodbyes
…Xavien POV…As I stand here, every part of my heart that still has some sort of feeling left for Mekayla, screams do not do this. But then we come to that part that is just so tired of being hurt that this is saying that this is the only way that this shall be.So it is with a heavy and somewhat bruised heart that I find myself packing some of my belongings in a suitcase, the very suitcase that I came here with only but over a year ago. It feels sad to leave my life here behind like this, but I shall build a new life back in the city, back in the city where I belong.While I am packing, I am packing a part of me away. I cannot help but think of how this is going to affect Mekayla when she finally wakes up. Will she be just as devastated that I am gone as what I am in leaving? This is a thought that I will not entertain. They say that guilt is a bitter pill to swallow. The last thing I need now is to feel this.But what they also do say is that a ma
The Billionaire Contract The End Of A Playboy
…Xavien POV…Is this the call that we all have been waiting for? There is a coldness of pure dread that suffocates my heart. Even though every ounce is telling me, run away and don't look back. There is that tiny piece that lays locked up in the very deepest depths of my heart where I have placed my feelings for Mekayla. I do not want to scratch that layer open.But I just need to know; I shall not ever be able to live with myself if I do not hear the news on the other side of this call. As my voice tremble out of fear, but most of all hurt, I take a deep breath and pull my truck onto the side of the road."Catalina, what is wrong?""Mekayla, she is awake. She woke up twenty minutes ago. You must come.""What about Damian?""Xavien, I do not know what is going on between her and that man. But I know that she will be happy to see you."So I am left with this choice, do hope and love make me turn this truck around, or does pain and fail
The Billionaire Contract The Other Side Of The Winters
…Mekayla POV…Xavien refuses to speak to me; Damian just had to go and kiss me at the very moment that Xavien showed up. Yes, I never broke the engagement off; I thought if I just leave that he would get the message. But the man is obviously as thick as a doornail. I never really knew why we stayed together for so long; we were not even compatible, let alone did we have the same ambitions and desires in life. His biggest fault that he found in me was my compassion towards people that need the help, and that could not afford it. It still is my passion, and I am not willing to give it up for any man. If you cannot see my value in life and respect them, then there is no place for you in my life.And one such very person would be Xavien; he understands me, he believes in me, yet he does not know me that well. Now, because of the asshole that is sitting next to me, what Xavien and I have built up lays in tatters. But I have had enough of this."Damian, you ne
