Amelia walked to Xavier’s office, she wanted to ask for a favour. Again. She hated that she depended on Xavier, she hated that even after she was humiliated by him, she had to run back like a puppy for each and every of her need, this time it wasn’t a financial need. This was a different type of favour. She could not say how shocked she was when she had fully offered herself to Xavier and he turned her down, the shocked had faded and shame replaced it. She had thought she knew what Xavier wanted and his rejection had taken all hope Amelia ever had of a ‘happily ever after’. There was something else. Why she believed what Xavier had done was wrong, she wasn’t sure she was right. Maybe he had abstained so as to not have sex with her on such desperate conditions, he didn’t take advantage of the situation. Well shame didn't always permit reasoning , she wondered how it would be like if Xavier took her there, on a couch. She was a virgin and she expected a better first time than that, so

Xavier walked to the Santiago Club he owned, Blake came with him while Shawn stayed at Neon Fashion Trends handling some business that had nothing to do with Fashion Designing.The air at the club smelt of bear, sweat and sex. Strippers- male and female, entertained the guests, dancing on poles, some walked around the bar, while the rest stood at the bar entries waiting for customers - all of them scantly dressed.The crowd parted as he walked in, he went straight for the VIP section.Mick Gatto was already seated, one of the whores on his laps, giving him a lap dance, Mick Gatto was the Head Leader of the Russian Mafia, though he was an Australian by birth and he was here for business alone. Xavier took a seat, right in front of him.Scantly dressed waiters supplied them some strong drinks. Mick pushed the whore off his lap and she staggered away."Hope you came with a glorious offer to appease me, otherwise this would be a waste of precious time" Mick said, he had always been the bra

She was mad as hell, how could he do that but there she sat on his laps. All reddened because she was stupid enough to think she was in the car alone.“Why did you come” she questioned him, “You don’t have to pretend you feel something for me, at this point, she totally understood, you don’t love me and you don’t care… and how the hell did you know I was here?”Xavier wasn’t smiling, well when was he ever smiling. “There’s going to be one rule Amelia, as long as you live in my house as my wife, you would go no where, you would stay in the house…”For the first time since she arrived here, she was too angry to care, she cut Xavier off “Bullshit” – the same words Xavier had said to her, he quirked his brow in false amusement – yeah, she was a quick learner. “You can go around with whosever and I can’t, that’s rubbish, if you want to see my as your wife then you would have to stop crash landing between other girls legs, you maggot” He was furious now – the truth stings like a bitch, Sha

A loud sound woke her up, there was darkness all around but she was sure of it, it wasn’t a dream she was sure of what she heard.It was a gun shot.Amelia rolled off the bed, she hadn’t realized when she had fallen asleep, she remembered promising herself to stay awake.“Xavier” she called out, her voice filled with fear, surely he could have heard a noise so loud. “Xavier” she called again as she tapped at the space in his bed where he was supposed to be only to find it completely empty. The dread kicked in.She walked around the room, blindly trying to find where the switch to the lights were, only to come out empty, this wasn’t her room and she hadn’t taken time to study the place when she got in.The sound came again, this time it wasn’t even one gunshot, they were multiple shots, fear consumed her, her legs shook as she walked around in the darkness, feeling tears slip down her eyes.What the hell was happening in the house?Many thoughts crossed her mind, maybe there were kidn

"So where you planning on ignoring me all day?"It was Kelvin, who was right behind her, how could she not have noticed."I wasn't ignoring you""We need to talk" he said.Finally the moment had arrived, the moment she had prepared for, for but all she had practiced was slipping away from her memory."Let's talk outside""No. You have to tell me what the hell is going on between you and the boss, Mr. Xavier""He's my ex boyfriend"What?""Yeah, he is possessive and all, I just don't understand why he wouldn't get out of my life already, he still believes there's something between us... But there's nothing""If there is nothing going on between you guys then why were you at his house and don't give me that crap that Shawn is your classmate, or you were busy with office work, office work ends in the office"And Amelia did the stupidest thing possible, she stood on her tip toe and tried kissing him, she moved too fast and only ended up smashing her face against his lips.She had told Dia
