The Man Behind The Façade
…Xavien POV…
There are some things in your life you wish you never had to think of. Some things that you wish you can sweep underneath the rug and hope that is where they will stay. Now I have had my fair share of bad luck, if not by my own hands, then by the one of another. Now, if you think you can keep them right where they belong, then you are sorely mistaken. They will find a way to pop their head up when you least expect it.Now there is a story that I do not often tell; in fact, not even Mr. Sinclair and Billy know of it. There was a girl that I met through a good friend of mine; I truly did fall head over heels in love with her. We spend almost every waking moment together, so it was only natural that I asked for her hand in marriage. So as all things got with couples at this stage of a relationship, I trusted her with everything. But I never expected her to show me what her true colors were. How she waited patiently for a year is beyond my understandRelated chapters
The Billionaire Contract Butterfly Kisses
…Xavien POV…Leaving my father's old offices does remind me of so many things. The thing is that it is not just my father's office, but it is mine. I am supposed to sit up in that big old office and order people around. That…that is just not me. I do not wish to spend my life living with material things that shall bring you joy for only a few minutes. I believe in building meaningful relationships with people; live a simple life with simple things. I doubt that I shall ever come to take my rightful place here.Pushing this to the back of my mind, I leave the city; I leave the Xavien that I do not wish to be behind. It has been a rather eventful week so far. But not all of it was bad; I have come closer to Mekayla every time I see her; we are building that bond, that relationship. We are creating the very thing that I desire the most, but I am yet too scared to look for it. Women will always emphasize their broken hearts, but they fail to notice that me
The Billionaire Contract A Family Affair
…Mekayla POV…With the kiss between Xavien and me still very much alive in my thoughts, I climb the wall to get into my window, but I stop halfway as the thought of his lips on mine captivated me completely for a moment, and I experience it all over again. I get back through my window and who do I find waiting for me in my room. My mother."Hello, mother.""Hello, mother? Is that all you can say? I have been waiting for you for over an hour, and then I had to make some lousy excuse as to why you did not come back from freshening up?""I told you that I do not like Raymond and that he is only after your money.""And I have told you that you are wrong about him. I have seen what kind of a person he is, and he will be a good husband for you like your father is to me."Well, that is an understatement of the year. As I recall throughout my childhood that my dad did a little more than just talk to my mother, and she was more than once away on "h
The Billionaire Contract What A Jolly Morning
…Mekayla POV…I am standing in the middle of a field, and a storm starts to form around me. I feel scared and alone; then, suddenly, I feel someone putting their hands around my waist from behind me. At first, I struggle to get out of his grip, but then I smell his softwood lace with spice filling my senses, and I know that this is not a man that is going to hurt me, but he is here to protect me. I put my hands on top of his, and he entwines my fingers with his. He puts his head on my shoulder, and I feel his breathing against my neck.Everything stands still at that moment, and I know that I am safe. I know that nothing can harm me and that no storm can touch me. I feel his lips softly kissing me on my neck, and then I see thunder coming down from heaven, and it is coming right at me, with one loud bang…I wake up. My eyes are wide open, and I know this was all just a dream. I slow my breathing down and fall back on my pillow.The morning of the C
The Billionaire Contract Heartbreak For Christmas
…Mekayla POV…I take a deep breath to face the rest of the night with Raymond. The only thing that keeps me going is the thought of seeing Xavien later tonight. I just need to be here for a few hours, and then I will start faking a sickness. I hope my plan works because I really need to see Xavien tonight, even if it is just for a moment."You look so beautiful tonight, Mekayla."I look at my mother standing there waiting with anticipating to hear my response to his all so charming words."Thank you, Raymond."I walk downstairs, and he holds out an arm for me to hook my hand into. That is the last thing I want to do. I want to turn and get out of this hell hole. But the only thing that gets me through the night is the thought of seeing quite possibly the love of my life. My mother then turns around and starts to attend to the rest of her guests."What do you think is going to happen between us? Do you really think this is going to go somew
The Billionaire Contract Will Love Survive?
...AT THE WINTERS MANSION...Raymond starts to look for Mekayla. He is getting frustrated because he needs her to introduce him to the cream of the crop, and without her by his side, he is but nothing to them. He quickly walks towards the bathroom he thinks she was in and knocks on the door, but nobody answers. He then proceeds to look in every bathroom but does not find her. Mekayla's mother sees he is looking frantically for something and then approaches him."Raymond, darling. Is everything okay?""Ah, Mrs. Winters. No, I am actually looking for Mekayla; she said that she is not feeling well and then-"Mrs. Winters lifts a hand in the air toward him to stop talking."Oh, no, that girl did it again. Follow me"She turns around impatiently and walks upstairs to Mekayla's room. She knocks on the door and then open it. Then she stares at the window. She knows that when that window is open on an icy cold night like tonight, it only means one thing."
The Billionaire Contract Tears And Regrets
…Xavien POV…I was unaware of how a single friendly gesture might have seemed if there is a bit more to what the eyes were seeing. Of course, I know what my relationship with Sammy is, but did Mekayla know? Somehow I don't think so, for that hurt in her face showed me that I have just made a far bigger mistake than I realized.It only took me but a few steps, and I was right at the door, but she was far faster than what I was. The moment I saw her speeding off in her car, I knew by the way the car was swerving that she was far more upset than it seemed she was.But then it happened, it happened so fast. She must have lost control, for her car started to spin on the icy road, round and round, in circles she goes. I watch as her body is flung from one side of the car to the other. Then it lifts off the road and tumbles, moving inches closer and closer to a large old tree on the side of the road. Then she comes crashing to a horrific stop as her car slams s

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 ri
