Xavier scans the room for any cameras and he finds one in the corner of the room, one in the corner on the ceiling of the bathroom, one in the shower, and one in the closet. "He had the whole room bugged." Xavier says, sighing and plopping down on the bed, running both his hands through his hair with his head down. "I should've known." Xavier says, closing his eyes with regret lacing them.

"You couldn't have." I say, putting Christine down and walking over to sit on the bed and rub the back of his neck with my thumb.

"But I could've, Dionne." he says, shaking his head. "The moment you said you were uncomfortable with him, I should've taken every precaution I could to keep you safe, and comfortable. But I made things spiral. I'm sorry."

"Xavier you have nothing to apologize for. You can't carry all that unnecessary weight on your shoulders, it's only gonna stress you. This was never your fault, do you understand me?" I say, rubbing his back with my eyebrow arched up at him.

    Xavier's POV: We arrive at the ball and I carry Christine on my arm as I pocket my keys, me and Dionne walking in, cameras flashing and paparazzi asking questions. When we enter the ballroom, Dionne smiles and lets go of my arm, running into the crowd. "Dionne?" I say, confused, a small sense of urgency in my tone. I follow her in and she hugs her brother, squealing in excitement. "Anthony!" she says, kicking her feet excitedly. "It hasn't been that long, Dionne." he says, smiling. "Still! I miss you guys every time you leave." she says, getting down and fixing her dress. "Patrick, you look nice. Real handsome." "For the first time ever." Anthony snickers, him and Dionne picking at him. "Yeah, yeah. This look took me two hours, so this is the best Patrick you're gonna get." he says, chuckling. "Xavier." Anthony says, shaking my hand. "Anthony. How's ruling going for you?" "Man, it's a struggle, I don't see how you make it out alive every day." he says, rubbing the back of his

    We walk to the bathroom and we quietly enter, careful not to let anyone hear us. We listen in on the conversation that starts. "Kendall? Why are you here?" Dionne asks, standing at the mirror, checking her makeup and washing her hands. "Same as everyone here. I'm a part of this mafia too. You forgot?" "No. I just don't care." Damnit. Dionne and that smart mouth *internally slaps forehead *. Kendall pushes the knife to her side and my eyes dart to the hand she's holding it with. "Xavier loved me first, y'know." Kendall says. Dionne sighs and turns around. "Kendall, it doesn't matter. He's moved on. He's happy now. You should try and do the same. I don't care, okay? We're not gonna talk about this because as I've mentioned sixty times already, I really don't care. Now if you'll excuse me, my husband and daughter are waiting." she says, walking by her. In a fit of rage, Kendall swings the knife at Dionne, sending my mind into fight or flight mode. I pounce out and I kick Kendall in

    Dionne's POV: He knows what he's doing to me. Ask me what's wrong with that grin thingy that he does, knowing I'm half naked and easily turned on. But I can't complain now. I'm already horny. I try my best to distract myself from the feeling, but when I'm done wrapping his shoulder, he grabs my waists with a firm grip and starts to kiss and lick my neck, giving me a hickey there. I bite my lip and I pant out little moans, my knees going weak as I get lightheaded and dizzy, holding on to his neck to try and maintain my balance. "Xavier ... " I moan, winded and breathless. "What's the matter?" he asks, smiling against my skin, biting at it. He grabs my thigh and pulls it up to his hip, making me sit down on his lap as he kisses the breath out of me. The top of his shirt is unbuttoned, so as I grind on him, I slide my hands in his shirt, rubbing his chest as his strong hands rub my ass, his fingers brushing against my lips as they reach for an opening. He slides his fingers inside me,

    I wake up the next morning and Xavier's not next to me. I get up and I put on some panties and sweatpants and I head downstairs to hear the boys talking amongst themselves. When I walk into the room, everyone goes quiet and Xavier turns around and looks at me. I can tell something's wrong. "Good morning." he says as the whole room looks off, not saying anything. I walk over to him and he grabs my hip and pulls me onto the couch with him, kissing my head and holding me tight. "What's wrong? Why's everyone so quiet?" I ask, awkwardly laughing and looking around. Amber sits with her hands in her lap and Riley has her face in her hands, crying. Camara hugs Z, sobbing quietly on his shoulder with his hand under her shirt, rubbing her back, consoling her. "Xavier? What's going on?" I ask, now worried. He turns me around to face him and he holds my hands in his as he looks me up and down, trying hard to fight back tears. "Why are you about to cry? Can you just tell me what's wrong? You're

    8 months later I walk around the room as chains rattle, gloves hitting punching bags, arrows being shot, and a thousand other things go on around me. Christine crawls around in front of me, blabbering as she sits in front of me, reaching up for me to hold her. I pick her up and I sit her on my lap, smiling and bouncing her around as I play with her cheeks, making her laugh. "You ready to see daddy?" I say, smiling at her. "Dada!" she says back, putting her hands in the air. "Yeah!" I say back. I start to play peek-a-boo with her and she laughs, making me laugh. She lies on my stomach and taps it. "Bee-beeee!" she says, smiling. "Yeah, your brother and sister are in there!" I say, sounding shocked.Suddenly, I hear laughing and talking and I smile. Amber and Riley walk in, as they hold their arms open to hug me. "Dionne! You're about to pop!" Amber says. "The twins are getting bigger by the hour, seems like." I say, laughing as she hugs me. They don't see me as much since they m

    I wake up with a contraction, breathing heavily and humming in pain. King, sleeping in the floor, immediately sits up and turns his attention to me as I rub my stomach. "Are you alright? Is there anything you need?" "Water. Please?" I say, still breathing heavily. He leaves for two minutes and comes back with water and gives it to me, kneeling next to me to make sure I'm okay. As I drink the water, I check the time. "4 A.M. I'm sorry King." I say, closing my water bottle. "It's alright. What was that, by the way?" he asks, rubbing his eyes. "What was what?" I say, putting my water bottle on the nightstand next to me. "This whole thing." I freeze and then nod my head, understanding what he means. "Contractions. My doctor said they'd probably be worse my second pregnancy since I've already been pregnant before." "Oh. Good to know." he says, lying back down on the floor. "King?" I say, looking down at him. "Yeah?" he says, staying still. "Just go and sleep in another room. I'll

Be good for mama okay?" "Dada .. " she calls out to him, poking out her lip, starting to cry. "I know, baby, I know. Daddy loves you. I'll see you soon." he says, leaving a long kiss on her head, smiling as he runs his thumb across the side of her head, feeling on her hair. I put Christine in her stroller and she cries so hard, her face starts to turn red. She gets like this every time we have to go. He stands up, putting his hands behind his back, letting the guards cuff him. "King, take care of her for me." he says, looking at King. "Gotcha boss." he says, nodding to Xavier as they take him away. When the doors shut, and the buzzers buzz, we turn around and head to the exit, Christine crying for her dad as we walk away. We get in the car and Christine's still crying and it makes me emotiona

    Xavier's POV: We're right back where we were almost a year ago. I'm holding her hands as she prepares for the first push, rocking back and forth and breathing hard, looking me in my eyes. Camara, Z, and King stand in the doorway and When Mia says to push, she closes her eyes tight and holds her breath as she pushes hard, her hands squeezing mine .... superhumanly tight. She exhales and puts her hands in the water to balance herself, and takes a couple deep breaths preparing for the second push. On three, she pushes and holds it for ten seconds, then lets it go, taking her hands out of the water and putting them on my arms for some support. I pick up the towel next to me and I wipe the sweat from her head as she breathes in and out. "You doing okay?" I say, moving her hair back off her face. "I just want these babies out of me." she replies, lying her head on my shoulder. "Baby A is coming fast. Baby's crowning, give me a big push, okay?" Mia says. She nods her head and wraps her

Everyone moved out and settled in their own homes, so now it's just me, Xavier, and the kids. "Mommy, when's Daddy coming home?" Christine asks, looking up at me. "He'll be home soon, baby. He's on the way here now." I say, smiling at her as I get to my knees. "You think Daddy's gonna like what you made him?" I say, my eyes lighting up. "I think he will. Kai and Harley said he wouldn't like it though." she says, frowning. "Kai! Harley! Get down here!" I say. They come down with their heads down, letting me know that they already know they're in trouble. "What did you say to your sister?" I say, looking at the both of them. "Mommy, I said sorry." Kai says. "You can't say mean things like that to your sister. You too, Harley. Daddy already told you not to be mean to your sisters. How do you think he would feel if he knew you we

    "Dionne, what's wrong?" I say, gripping her hands in mine. She looks down with her hand over her stomach, blood seeping through her fingers. "Baby, talk to me." I say, panicking. She falls to the floor and I catch her in my arms as she tries her hardest to breathe. Tears prick at my eyes as I watch the life drain out of her. I hear three gunshots ring out and I hear a body drop to the floor, but I never take my eyes off of my wife. I sit there, crying like a baby as I hold her in my arms, hugging her body against mine as I rock with her. She puts her bloody hands on my face as tears flow from her eyes. "Baby, look at me. Look at me." she says, trying to smile through her tears. But I can't. I just can't. "You're gonna be alright, I promise." I say, crying. "Baby, I'm not gonna make it. I can .. I'm bleeding out too quickly, I .. I don't have a lot of time .. " she says, rubbing my cheek with her thumb, wiping away my tears. "Take .. care of our babies, okay? Tell them .. tell the

    Xavier's POV: As I stand at the altar, my mind races. All I can think about is seeing her. Feeling her, touching her, kissing her. My nerves are on fire as I think about finally seeing her and being able to hold her in my arms again. The scenery is beautiful. It's huge. I stand at the altar, waiting for her and all of a sudden, music starts to play and the side doors open, the grooms coming from the left and the bridesmaids coming from the right, meeting in the middle to lock arms and walk down the aisle and go their separate ways. Five minutes pass by and Camara's little sisters come down the aisle, dropping flowers as they walk down the aisle. Then those big white doors open to reveal my wife in a huge white dress. She looks gorgeous. She walks down the aisle with a veil over her face, her brother on her arm as she walks with a bouquet of red flowers. I smile as I look at her walking up to me, her brother kissing her cheek before he lets her go, letting her come to me. She gives h

    Dionne's POV: I wake up to Amber calling my name. Everyone else stands back as she sits on the bed, wrapping me in a hug as I wake up. "Hey hun." she says, smiling as she pulls away. She hands me an iced coffee and it doesn't taste like a regular iced coffee. "What's in this?" I say, looking at the cup. "Tequila." Riley says, sitting on the bed with me and Amber. I nearly choke, laughing. "Tequila?" I say, laughing. "We want you to wake up feeling like the best bride in the world. So we gave you coffee-tequila." Amber says. "Where's Mara?" I say, looking around. "She's coming. She just called and said Xavier was awake. Just got up, she said." Amber says. I smile and I pick up my phone, dialing Xavier's number. As I talk to him, my heart flutters in my chest, knowing that this is the man I'm marrying. "Anyway, I'll see you soon. I love you so much." he says. I can hear him smiling as he talks. "I love you more, Mr. Foster." I say, hanging up. When I hang up we look at each ot

    2 days later Xavier's POV After a night of earth shattering sex and mind-blowing orgasms, I had to leave Dionne. She says it's bad luck to see your bride before the wedding. So here I am. Up at 9 A.M, in the biggest master bedroom Zeno's mansion had to offer, processing what's happening today as I lie in bed. I get up and I put on my slippers, brush my teeth, wash my face, then I go downstairs with sweatpants and a navy blue short-sleeve shirt on. I go downstairs to the island in the kitchen and Z's making coffee for the both of us and Camara. "Thanks for letting me crash here last night." I say, as he slides my coffee across the table to me. "Don't thank me. It's the least I could do for the groom-to-be." he says, winking at me as he stirs his coffee and leans onto the island. Camara comes down with Bentley and she gasps in shock for the sake of the baby. "Who's that?" Camara says, looking down at Bentley. "That's uncle Xavier! Say hi, baby!" she says as I smile at Bentley. She

    Xavier's POV: As I sit in my office smoking a cigarette, stressed from the phone call I've just received, Dionne walks in, with a smile, immediately brightening my mood a little. "Oh no. What's stressing you?" she says, her smile fading into frustration as she walks in and sits on my desk, crossing her arms. "Nothing." I say, not wanting to burden her. "Xavier, you only smoke when something's stressing you. It's never random." she says, arching her eyebrow, knowing I'm lying. I grab her hips and I pull her onto my lap, letting her straddle me and look into my eyes. I put out my cigarette and I sit back in my chair, looking up into her eyes. "What's wrong? Talk to me." I say, changing the subject. Ignoring the fact that I changed the subject, she shrugs and answers. "Mom wants to keep the kids for tonight, tomorrow and the next day so we can have some time alone before and after our wedding day." she says. "And you're asking me if that's okay?" I say, my eyebrow shooting up. "Ye

    The next day, I wake up and the thrill of my wedding day coming so soon fills me to the brim, making me smile. I turn over to see the love of my life sleeping peacefully, something I'm not used to seeing. I place soft kisses on his lips throwing my leg over his stomach as I sit up to hover over him as I kiss him. I feel his body move beneath mine as he grunts, then I feel his hands travel to my ass to squeeze it, making me hum to myself. "Good morning." he says, his voice deep, yet soft. "Good morning." I say, smiling. "So, I have to go out again today." I say, moving his hair from his eyes as I look into them. "Okay. Do what you need to do. Just-" "Be safe. I will. I love you." I say, cutting him off and kissing him. I get up and I take a shower, then I brush my teeth, then do my skincare routine and after I'm finished, I put on some black leggings, sweatpants, a long sleeve shirt, and a puffer coat with mittens and a warm, fluffy hat and ear muffs. "You look very warm." Xavier

    4 months later ---- "Oh my god, babe, guess what!" I say, squealing and shaking with excitement. "What is it, love? Did your dress come in?" Xavier guesses. "No, that's tomorrow. Guess again." I say, climbing onto his lap in anticipation. "I dunno. Tell me." he says locking his fingers together behind my back, holding me in place as he grins at me. "They're finally finished with the venue and setting up the wedding! Can you believe it?" I say, kissing him in excitement. "No way." he says between kisses. "Yes way. This is actually happening!" I say, rolling over and curling into a ball of happiness. "I know. I actually can't believe it. We're getting married." he says, placing soft kisses on my lips. "Yep. Three more days." I say, smiling hard, pulling his lips to mine as he climbs on top of me and in between my legs, laughing. Suddenly there's a knock on the door, pulling us apart. "I'm going to the grocery store for the kids, you guys don't mind them coming, do you?" Kinsle

    Dionne's POV: Xavier slowly goes to the door and he takes a deep breath before opening it and pointing it at whoever's at the door. "Xavier! Hi!" A woman with silver hair and green eyes, red cheeks, and braces comes in and throws herself onto Xavier, hugging him. Now jealous and angry, I back away from Xavier and I clear my throat loud enough for everyone to hear. As the girl giggles, Xavier putting her down, she looks over to me and gasps. "Oh .. my gosh! You're his fiance!" "Yeah, and who are you?" I ask. "Dionne, meet my cousin's girlfriend, Star. Star, meet Dionne. You already know what she is to me, obviously. She's really friendly, but she's a beast on the inside. Only when she has to be of course." Xavier says, introducing us. I flush red at my mistake. "I'm sorry for pouncing on him like that. It's just been years since I've seen him. Rome come in, it's cold outside!" she says, waving some guy over. He has a white streak in his jet black hair, and he has tattoos all over
