Xavier's Surrogate CHILDISH FIGHTS
The second Halle stepped in, it felt like she was stepping into a fairytale picture, one that she had only seen in books or movies. The scene she was met by was breathtaking! The hall—no, the ballroom was spacious, so wide that it contained at least five hundred guests with still enough space left for the decorations, the performers, the tables and chairs, the servers, the buffet tables that stretched from one side of the room to another. Above her head hung crystal chandeliers, at least ten of them hovered over their heads, glowing red, a light blue, and a very bright golden color. The lights foregrounded the deco which was a blend of plain and bright colors coming together to make a magnificent view. The tables were covered in black and some white tablecloths, the chairs were all black, and in the middle of the tables rested different varieties of colorful flowers that didn’t take up much space but were still enough to beautify the table and make Halle just want to get a closer
Xavier's Surrogate IMPENDING DOOM
“My name is Greg Satoshi and I would like to welcome you to Stone Corporation’s 50th Anniversary, it is a pleasure to see you all,” Woah. 50th Anniversary. There was a round of applause and a little excited chatter, everyone was obviously excited about the event while the rest at Halle’s table looked like they’d witnessed it a hundred times. Which they probably had. “I’ll like to welcome Miss Martha Stone, our director to give us a few welcoming words,” The applause became louder as Martha was called. Martha blew out a breath and in a split second, a wide smile replaced her frown and she stood up and strode gracefully to the podium. There seemed to be a few screams in the crowd like she was some sort of rock star coming to perform. “Our employees worship Martha like she’s some kind of God,” Xavier scoffed like it was annoying. “Well that’s probably because she’s a much better boss than some others…” Victoria giggled and wiggled her brows in Xavier’s direction. Halle caught t
Xavier's Surrogate HIS WOMAN
"Why thank you,” Halle replied with a bow making the woman seated next to her burst into laughter again.“I honestly thought I would end up snapping at someone if I heard one more praise or compliment,” Victoria let out, she set her glass down on the side table and ran her hands up and down her silk dress.It looked so soft, Halle’s hand itched to touch it as well.“This is really a lot...” Halle sighed as she looked into the crowd, she noticed that a few steps away, Martha had Xavier by her side and they were talking to a couple whose eyes were widened in shock and their lips stretched with smiles that looked uncomfortable as they spoke to Xavier.Not everyone knew who he was.“I wonder how you guys do it...”“It isn’t easy...” Said Victoria still looking down at her fingers seemingly lost in thought.“That much I can tell you,” She sighed, “My brothers are men with a lot of power but they don’t really have to deal with the shit Xavier, Martha and I deal with, so they don’t u
Xavier's Surrogate RAW EMOTIONS
Halle breathed through her nose in an attempt to calm herself, she was being squished by both men with their heavy weights. They pinned her to the wall like she was about to become mashed potatoes.A gun.It was pressed against her rib, digging deeper past her dress and into her skin.“Start walking…” The green-eyed man said from behind her as he moved his feet and in turn moved Halle forward as well.“Don’t make a fucking sound or I’ll shoot you, then I’ll take you against your will,”OhGodohGodohGod!Why did this always happen to her?Halle sucked in a deep breath and began to walk slowly, following the men’s instructions even as her panic grew the closer they got to the darker part of the building.“Where are you taking me?” “Somewhere your man will give anything to find!” The other man snarled in her ears as he held her other hand and dragged her forward like she was a rag doll that didn’t feel any pain.Halle hissed as she felt the man’s nails dig into her skin, anger
Xavier's Surrogate THE MAFIA
It was quiet.The only thing that could be heard was their silent breathing, his eyes bored deep into hers and at that moment, Halle felt like her heart had come to a standstill.At that moment, nothing else mattered but she and the man whose fists were covered in the blood of another who hurt her, whose dark and seemingly empty eyes still burned with anger because of her, whose lips quivered slightly, and then his legs finally left that of the probably dead man on the floor.Xavier stood to his full height, making Halle’s hand slip from his shoulder, he caught it just in time and placed it on his chest, Halle could feel the hard and fast thumps of his heart beating against her palms.Her eyes widened slightly when she looked at their hands, the stark contrast his bloody hands and her now stained hand created.What had she just witnessed?She breathed out slowly, willing her feet to stay planted on the floor and not run for the hills like her reflexes told her to.Something tol
Xavier's Surrogate A YEAR
“That part of your life?”She knew what he meant but she wanted to hear it from him, maybe deep down she wanted to be wrong despite what the facts were pointing at.Maybe she wanted to hear him deny those notions that had begun forming in her head.But then again, the universe was a shady little bitch that always stopped at nothing to turn her life upside down no matter how many times he tries to get back up.Xavier’s lips pursed and his eyes left hers, he stared down at his knees but Halle kept looking at him.Was it that bad?“Ahem!” He cleared his throat and then shrugged his shoulders like he had just mentally said the words ‘fuck it!’“In the past thirty-two years of my life, no one has made me question everything as much as you have flower,” Xavier said, just dropping those heavy words and making Halle’s mind go into a spiral.“Our family has been around for a hundred years, we spent the last fifty climbing up every ladder that there is so we can come out on top, that a
Xavier's Surrogate NDA
Halle stared long and hard at the door after it closed behind Xavier.She sat there, rooted deeply in shock and not sure she would be able to snap herself out of it anytime soon.The conversation they’d just had was far from what she expected, far from what she imagined he would say to her when he finally decided to give her an explanation as to why she was chosen.He still didn’t give her an answer she understood but he said something else that made all of her questions feel like they were not worth asking.Halle let out a shaky breath and clenched the sheets beneath her fingers, her cold fingers that managed to pale in comparison to the coldness of his own body.He was dying.He is—Halle sucked in a sharp breath she struggled hard to process the information, never in a million years did she imagine that a man as infuriating yet as strong as he was would be weakened by such a thing.This just proved that he was more human than any other man she’s been close to, he’s experien
Xavier's Surrogate FULL-TIME
“How long ago do you think they’ve been following her?” Asked Xavier as he looked down at the pictures Monty had taken off Halle’s attackers and their phones. There were pictures of Halle walking to school, getting into cabs, and even some from her class and the bar she used to work at. Most of the pictures dated back to months if not a year, her hair was shorter…Why have they been following her? “At least two years up until the last time she went to write an exam,” Monty replied grimly, no doubt the same thought running through both their minds. How did the Delgados know about Halle’s connections with Xavier enough to even keep a constant tail on her? Xavier looked down at the pictures again, he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists at the sides. He remembered just how cautious Halle had been in front of those cameras at the party, it was obvious she hated having her photographs taken without her consent. In all of the pictures, she looked lost in her thoughts, unaware of wh
