XAVIER’S POV. I frowned as she gasped with a guilty look. How could she forget about Chelsea, I know what I passed through when she didn’t see her this morning or yesterday. Chelsea cried throughout the whole night and this morning, thinking her Nanny left her like her mother did. I haven’t seen my daughter cry over anything before, not even me, but she cried because she didn’t see Alyssa. I glared at her and said. “I will take your silence as a no.” I was upset, Chelsea refused to take her breakfast because she didn’t see her Nanny, but after coaxing and petting her she reluctantly ate her breakfast but refused to take her bath. She was waiting for her Nanny. The same Nanny who didn’t care to check up on her, I know we went to a party and came back late but couldn’t she call and talk to her. “I…I’m so sorry, sir, I …. I totally forgot, but I will go pick her from school.” I arched my brows, school, on a Saturday. What’s wrong with her today? “Miss Brown, do you realize i
TWO WEEKS LATER. BENJAMIN’S POV. “Hey man.” I slumped tiredly on the chair as he glared at me. Gosh! I was damn tired from those strenuous activities last night, winks, you know what I mean. “And What are you doing here Ben, aren’t you supposed to be at your company, working?” He asked, and I frowned. “Is hat how you welcome a friend you haven’t seen in, what, a week or weeks?” He rolled his eyes and looked at me unenthusiastic. “I’ll ask again, what are you doing here, Ben?” “I came to see you, Xavi.” I smirked as his dimmed. “Call me that one more time and I swear you’ll be leaving here toothless.” He snapped. I still don’t know why he hates the nickname. I cleaned my throat and abandoned that topic because I would rather not leave here toothless and asked. “So what’s up?” I picked a file I knew nothing about and went through it. “Nothing.” He replied monotonously. “Oh, please don’t tell me nothing is up. You can’t tell me the almighty Xavier Winthrop hasn’t found
XAVIER’S POV. I looked at him as he described Alyssa with so much passion, gosh why did I feel a tug in my heart if any man looks or compliments her. “And what if the nanny you’re referring to is ugly.” I arched my brows, waiting for his comeback. “Only her facial structure will be ugly, not her front or her back or even her mout....” I spanked the idiot, he always proves to be a man whore and I don’t know how I got a friend like him. “Sometimes I always forget that you’re a man whore.” I said, and he laughed “Yeah, Yeah And besides, I believe my little champ won’t take an ugly lady as her nanny, you know she has good taste like you huh.” He winked and I nodded. It’s true, Chelsea has always had good and exquisite taste in food, dresses, shoes, bags, nannies you name it. “Yeah, she really does have good taste.” I said and spaced out. I’m still angry at him, how could he describe my Alyssa like that, not the way you are thinking about it. She’s my Alyssa because she
❤️❤️ ALYSSA’S POV ❤️❤️ I rushed back to my office after receiving a shout from Mr Xavier, gosh, why didn’t I prepare his schedule for this week. I took my laptop and got to work, going through emails and messages to see who wanted to meet Mr Xavier, but I paused when I saw an email from the planning team, they requested Mr Xavier’s attention for the new product launching. What product were they launching? I scrolled through the message but couldn’t find a better explanation In case Mr Xavier asked me about the product. Maybe he knows something about the new product. I arranged the schedule according to the day and time before leaving for his office. I made to knock, but the door opened and Mr Benjamin and the human Barbie walked out. Huh, when did she come in? I asked myself. “Oh you’re back, I’m leaving now. Bye sweet cheeks.” Mr Benjamin said, waving at me as he dragged the human Barbie out. I shook my head before knocking and as he ushered me in, I opened and sauntered in
❤️ ALYSSA’S POV ❤️ “Nanny Lyssa!” Chelsea hugged me as I walked in. I hugged her back with a huge smile on my face, she was looking bright and refreshed this morning and did I add happy. “Hi baby, how was your night?” I pecked her cheeks. “It was fine.” She replied happily and I giggled. She was extremely happy this morning and I need to know the reason, is her mum back or did her dad get her, her dream toy or anything. “You are happy this morning baby, can you tell nanny the secret behind your smile.” I asked, and she giggled, twirling her strain hair with her finger. “Grandma will be coming over tomorrow, that’s why am happy” “Your grandma?” She nods “Daddy’s mother and I guess you will see my handsome daddy tomorrow.” I smiled. For the past two days, Chelsea has been going on and on how handsome and cute her dad was, and it made me curious if he was as handsome as the aloof CEO I know. “I will.” Today was a free day from the office, I decided to spend it wi
NEXT MORNING I woke up yawning hungrily, god, am so hungry this hungry. Why am I this hungry? ‘You didn’t eat dinner last night dummy’ my subconscious reminded me and I nod. Yeah right, I didn’t have the courage to ask Mr Xavier if I could eat again after that little dinner with Chelsea. I looked at the other side of the bed and saw Chelsea’s still sleeping soundly with a little pout on her lip, I chuckled and kissed her cheek. I got up and did some stretch before taking a bath, I walked out of the bathroom putting on a nude colored straight gown that showed my curves and stopped at my knee level. I don’t know how he was able to get a dress that fitted me so perfectly last night, but I’m grateful. I looked at myself in the mirror the last time then turned my attention to the bed to see if my little angel was awake yet and there she was lying on the bed wide awake. She smiled immediately she saw me. “Good morning, baby.” I walked closer and peck her cheeks. I just love doin
XAVIER. I watched the interaction between Alyssa and Chelsea, it was like that of a mother and daughter relationship and let me not talk about their matching gown and same hairstyle. Oh Charlotte, if only you were here to see how beautiful our daughter is, our princess. If only you could see her smile, laugh and cry, why did you leave us? You could have stayed and carried your daughter even for a minute. I felt a jabbed on my hand. “Daddy, grandma Lisa is here.” Chelsea yelled and dashed out of the room, I shook my head and followed her. She squealed happily as she ran down the stairs. “Chelse, what did I say about running up or down the stairs?” I asked with a frown. She paused and gave me a cute pout. “I’m sorry daddy, I was so excited to see grandma that it escaped me.” She apologized. “It’s fine, now go meet your gr.....” “Where is my little superstar?” My mum yelled as she walked in, and a smile graced her face, immediately her gaze landed on Chelsea. “Grand
❤️ ALYSSA ❤️ I got out of my house in a not too happy mood, getting to know Mr Xavier has a child has drained the little hope I had that we can be together. Don’t look at me, a girl can have dreams too. I can’t believe he made me an idiot by playing me, he knew I was working for him but didn’t say anything, he made me believe that Chelsea was just his god-daughter. What a big fool you are, Alyssa, a big fool. I begrudgingly entered the cab and told him the mansion’s address and when I got there I paid the cabby man, knocked and the guards opened the gate for me with a smile. I couldn’t help but smile back, it isn’t everyday you see giant, strong men with thick muscles smiling at you. I opened the door and came face to face with him, the one bothering my thoughts since, and immediately I set my eyes on him, the anger, betrayal, and hate left my body. All I could see was the guy or rather the man I like. I stared at him for some time before walking in fully and that’s when he took n
A Week Later. “Come on, Mrs. Winthrop, you can do it. I can see the head, you just have to push.” The doctor said trying to encourage me, but that’s what she has been saying for the past forty minutes. Gosh, this is so painful, I ain’t doing this again. I breath out loudly then took in a deep breath as I held Xavier’s hand tightly, pushing harder as I felt the head coming out, and suddenly, I felt free from the pain and the shrill cry of the baby was heard in the room. “The first one is out, it’s a boy.” The doctor announced and Xavier kissed my cheeks. “Two more to go, babe.” I nodded as I pushed again, but this time it didn’t take long before they came out. “Congrats, Mr. Winthrop.” I said weakly as I stared at a crying Xavier. “Thank you, darling.” He pecked the crown of my head, wiping my sweat off. I closed my eyes, turning the noise and everything down. ~~~~ XAVIER. I never thought I would ever witness this, the birth of my babies. It didn’t sit well with me to see
FOUR MONTHS LATER. ❤️❤️ ALYSSA ❤️❤️ I stared at myself as I rubbed the lipstick on my lips and couldn’t help but smile. I can’t believe this is me in the mirror, I look more beautiful and happy, and I love it. “Mummy!” I turned, and I saw my beautiful angel running towards me. She was putting on the same gown as me but with a different design, she looked so beautiful. “Hey baby, how are you?” I asked pecking her cheeks and she giggled doing the same to same and my huge tummy. Trust me, this tummy is so big that sometimes I fear it would burst. “How are my baby’s sisters doing?” Chelsea asked and I chuckled. She wanted them to be girls, and I just pray she gets her wish. “They are Fine.” I replied, and she smiled rubbing her hand on it. It has been great during these past four months, Lisa was so happy when she heard I was pregnant, although she scolded and smacked Xavier for hurting me. I remembered the first day I told Chelsea I was carrying her baby sister or b
❤️ ALYSSA ❤️ “I have my reasons, Alyssa.” He paused and took a deep breath. “I have my reasons for rejecting you.” I stared at him in anticipation. “Take a seat.” He tapped the space beside him and I sat down, waiting for his explanation. “There’s a reason why I don’t have any woman in my life now and before. Do you know before you came into my life, a lot of women has shown interest in me and even mum introduced some ladies to me, but I didn’t have it in me to take one in, not when they were going to leave me anyway. I remember the first day you walked into my office, looking like an angel and trust me, you got my attention without trying, I haven’t looked at any woman the way I stared at you. They were the same way I stared at my Charlotte.” I gasped. His Charlotte, Who was that? “Charlotte was my first love, my life, and everything, she was my late wife and Chelsea’s mum. You see, Alyssa, when she came into my life, I thought everything would work out for me, us, wel
❤️ ALYSSA ❤️ I opened my eyes and found myself in an unfamiliar room and similarly to when Timothy abducted me, the thing I was in was moving. I gulped and got up slowly, where am I now? I tried recollecting all that happened, and then I remembered, Xavier, he came to save me. I thought he wouldn’t care or leave me to rot in there, but he saved me, maybe he did it to save his child and not me. I chuckled bitterly at my pathetic self, even after rejecting for twice I’m still rooting for him to love me, pathetic. “You are awake.” I turned to the doorway and saw him, the intruder on my mind. He was clad in a sweat shirt and pants, and he looked deliciously handsome that all I wanted to do was rip the shirt off and jumped on his bone. I blushed and smacked myself. “Are you okay?” I suddenly felt his presence next to me. “I’m fine, thanks for saving me, Mr. Xavier.” I said. I was grateful he took me out of that hellhole, I didn’t know what Timothy would have done to me if he d
❤️ ALYSSA ❤️ I continued moving backwards as he walked slowly to my side and I gasped when I got to the wall. He snickered and said. “Nowhere to run too now, huh.” I looked at the door behind him and made a move to run for it, but he grabbed my hand like he was expecting that. “Let go of me, Timothy.” I commanded, trying to take his hard grip off. “You are hurting me, Timothy.” I cried in pain and, like a person under a spell, he snapped out of it l. He released my hand, which was already red from his tight grip. “I’m sorry Aly.” He apologized and picked my bruised hand up, but I took it away quickly. “Don’t touch me.” I yelled, and he stopped. “I apologize for hurting you Aly, it wasn’t my intention, but you’re the one making me to hurt you.” I scoffed. “You can’t get what you want from me, Timothy, please let me go, please.” He heaves. “I can’t Aly. This is your rightful place, right here next to me.” He leaned closer, and I turned my head. “You look
XAVIER. “Is everything ready?” I asked Ben as we took our seat on my private jet. “Yes, no need to worry. I called him, and I’ve set up a meeting with him.” He explained and I nodded. That’s a good start, we were on our way to Dubai to get Alyssa back, and with all of this going on, what surprised me most was when Benjamin said he knows someone in the mafia. I was beyond astonished, but it came to our favor because he was ready to hear us out. I sighed, rubbing my temples, the past three days haven’t been easy for Chelsea, Alyssa’s family and funny as it may sound, me. Everyone was on tenterhooks praying for Alyssa’s safety, and I’ve promised to bring her back home safely. “What are you thinking about?” Ben nudged my arms and I opened my eyes. “I don’t know, is this going to work?” I asked. I was skeptical about this plan, but I need to make this work ‘cause it’s the only way Alyssa can come home. Whatever I need to forfeit, I will do it as long as the woman I’ve come to
XAVIER TWO DAYS LATER It has been two days since I’ve been coming to Alyssa’s place and couldn’t find her. I have been going back and forth, knocking on her door or ringing the bell but no answer from her. The first thought that came to my mind the first day I couldn’t find her was that she ran away with my child, I mean I did a lot of nasty things to her and I would accept if she ran away but after getting some meaningful message from Chelsea, I could tell she didn’t leave on her own. With the financial influence I had, I made the cops search the whole town but still, there wasn’t any report about her, so my thought was that maybe she was abducted to another town. I alighted from my car and sighed, I closed the door then took quick strides into the building. “Good morning, Mr. Winthrop.” Caleb greeted. Caleb was the guy in charge of the security footage in Alyssa’s area, so here I am trying to see if I could find any clue in searching for her. “Morning, is the results ou
❤️❤️ ALYSSA ❤️❤️ I woke up with a headache and found myself in an unfamiliar room, I sat up groggily looking around to see if I can have an idea of where I was. The last thing I remembered was going to meet Tim in a café and having a chat while drinking my juice, then I suddenly felt dizzy and weak. What happened after that? A picture of Timothy walking towards me with a smirk played in my head and I shook my head, no, Timothy wouldn’t do this to me. He’s my friend, and he wouldn’t hurt me right, I sighed and rubbed my tummy, where am I and why did I feel whatever this was moving. “I can see that you are awake.” I snapped my head to the doorway and saw him resting his body on the door frame with a smile. “Where am I Tim?” I asked and he chuckled, walking closer to me. I shifted backwards but stopped when I hit the bed stand. “Oh my dear Alyssa, you are safe with me. So don’t bother your little brain about where we are or going.” He brought his hand to my face, but I swat
XAVIER. After Alyssa and Chelsea left, Alyssa’s Mum stayed behind and the glare she was giving to me was too much. I cleared my throat to lessen the awkwardness, she has been staring at me for quite some time now, and it’s becoming uncomfortable. I attempted to leave, but she pulled me back. “Can I have a word with you?” She asked, and I paused. A word, with me. Did she want to speak to me about Alyssa and I? “Ma’am, is there anything wrong?” I asked, wiping my sweaty hands on my trousers. I’m nervous and I don’t know why? “Yes. Everything is wrong, my daughter living You is so wrong and all of this bullshit, everything is so wrong.” She yelled angrily and I sighed. I guessed right, this is all about Alyssa. “Ma’am, can you please tell me what’s wrong about it?” “You know you’re the first guy my Aly has loved, the day she confessed her feelings to you, and you rejected her, my Aly who was bubbling with life always cheerful and happy became sad. I noticed her behavior t
