Fueled by urgency, Xavier retaliated, returning fire with fierce determination. He shot a quick glance at Alfonso and Lorenzo, who flanked him, urging them to cover his back as he sprinted after Igor. Time was of the essence, and there was no opportunity to wait for the elevator. Choosing speed over caution, Xavier dashed up the staircase, each step echoing his mounting desperation. Suddenly, a bullet whistled past his ear, prompting him to press himself against the wall for cover. He barely had a moment to catch his breath when he saw one of the masked assailants peeking out from his hiding spot, only to be met with a swift and merciless response from himâa bullet to the forehead that sent him crumpling to the ground. After a relentless exchange of gunfire with a few more men in black, Xavier finally made it to the roof, adrenaline pounding in his veins. But the door was locked tight from behind. Without hesitation, he unleashed a series of shots at the lock, the echoes ringing shar

Since Xavier left her alone in bed without a glance, she hasn't seen him again. And she was happy, very happy; she didn't even want to see him. Who wants to see that arrogant, handsome man around, right? Flashback: one week ago. After the fierce and breathtaking kiss, Xavier broke the kiss and asked Reina, who was panting beneath him. âSee how wet you are for me? Are you still going to deny the obvious? You kissed me! Why did you kiss me at the party?â He demanded as he moved his fingers up her clit and gave it a squeeze, causing Reina to moan loudly. âAhhh! Fuck!â Reina squirmed from the pleas
âI know you're awake, Micetta,â Xavier's deep, raspy voice whispered into Reina's ear, his lips nibbling her earlobe. âUooh,â Reina moaned as a chill went down her spine. She opened her eyes and was instantly locked in Xavier's green orbs, which were looking down at her with intensity. âGood morningâŠâ Xavier was saying when Reina angrily cut him off with, âWhat are you doing here?â He smirked, his hand moving to Reina's ass, and he began to caress it. Reina shut her eyes, biting her lips to hold in the moans that were threatening to escape them. âThe next time you interrupt me with that tiny mouth of yours, I will punish it,â he said as he squeezed one of her ass cheeks firmly. Reina shuddered from the sensation, her arousal soaking her inner thighs. She doesn't know why, but something about the way Xavier said he would punish her intrigued her. She wanted to know just how he intended to punish her mouth. Reina didn't know when she opened her mouth and asked, âWhat if I want
~~~ Two days ago ~~~ Colombia. The clock had just struck midnight when a phone resting on a polished desk inside a dimly lit office screen suddenly illuminated the darkened room with a harsh glow. Lucas, who was sitting in the shadows, felt his heart race with a mix of anticipation and anxiety as he glanced at the device. He leaned closer, anticipation tightening in his chest, only to feel a wave of disappointment wash over him once again. The caller wasn't the person he had been desperately yearning to hear from. âDude, why wonât you answer her? She must be worried since itâs late and youâre still not home.â Victor, who was seated in front of Lucas, suggested, but Lucas shot him a piercing glare at his words. Lucas exhaled deeply, lifted the glass tumbler from his desk, and drank the whiskey. The liquid lingered on his tongue for a brief moment before flowing down his throat, the fiery sensation teasing his throat. He reclined back in his chair and shut his eyes as memories of
âYes, those are my fucking terms; I would prefer my fortune go to charity than you cheating bastard!â Lucas' eyes widened; he thought he had managed to keep his relationship with Bianca a secret. âIt was a mistake; I won't want to repeat,â Lucas said, and Don Santiago chuckled. âOf course, that's why you couldn't keep your hands off her when you were banging her an hour ago in the restroom?! Today is your fucking wedding to my daughter, but you fuck another woman behind her back! You either sign it or I break this marriage today!â "Well, what about your daughter? What if she rather cheats on me? She's beautiful; all your men spot a hard-on in her presence. What if she asked me for a divorce because she fell in love? What if I want to divorce her because she cheated on me?â âMy daughter isn't like that; she's the purest woman I know!â âPeople change,â Lucas retorted. âIf my daughter cheats on you, you can have all my fortune.â âDon't bluff, you're just saying something yo
Reina sat at the dining table, the clinking of cutlery barely registering as the turmoil within her intensified. A storm of emotions raged inside her. âDid she really just agree to give Xavier a chance?â The thought echoed in her mind, a relentless whisper that gnawed at her conscience. What about her husband, the man who deserved her loyalty? Guilt washed over her like a tidal wave, threatening to pull her under. She had promised herself that she would prove to her husband that her fleeting moments with Xavier were nothing but a mistakeâyet here she was, entangled in an affair, repeatedly betraying the man she once vowed to love with someone she knew should be off-limits."Ahhh, damn it!" she screamed inwardly, her heart racing as heat rose to her cheeks. She shut her eyes tight, trying to hold back the hot tears that threatened to spill from their corners.The guilt was overwhelming, yet intertwined with an undeniable truth: her love for her husband, though deep and genuine, couldnâ
Thirty minutes later, Xavier and Reina emerged from the glass doors of the elevator, stepping into the dimly lit underground parking lot, with Xavier's warm hand resting against Reina's lower back as he guided her with a protective ease toward their car. On reaching the car, Xavier opened the door for Reina, who flashed him a bright, appreciative smile before elegantly getting into the plush interior. He joined her as the car pulled out of the parking lot. However, the car had reached the hotel entrance when suddenly, a figure stepping out of the car ahead caught Xavierâs attention; his heart skipped. It was the one person he didn't wish to encounter, not now. Instinctively, he turned to Reina, grasping her face with a firm but gentle hold, and pressed his lips against hers with a fierce intensity, his kiss a declaration of possession amidst the unexpected turmoil. Reina was taken by surprise when Xavier leaned in and pressed his lips against hers, a rush of warmth flooding her
After an hour of driving along the winding, lush landscape, Reina, who was comfortably nestled in Xavier's arms, lifted her gaze to look at his face. The moment the car changed direction into a wooded area. The atmosphere shifted; the tall trees, standing like silent watchers, cast shadows across the vehicle. Xavier, whose brow was slightly furrowed, looked at her puzzled expression, and he responded with a reassuring smile, his eyes sparkling with mystery. Just as Reina opened her mouth to voice her confusion, the car transitioned onto a well-paved road that cut through the forest. She watched in silent awe as the landscape flitted by, vibrant greens blurred against the clear blue sky, as they glided along the secluded path for another ten minutes. Suddenly, they arrived at a grandiose gate, its imposing stature more formidable than the one she had seen at the lavish party a week ago. A group of guards stood vigilant, their postures stiff and watchful, clearly prepared for any intr
The car Xavier was riding in came to a halt after passing the threshold of his iron gates. Xavier stepped out of the car, his eyes bloodshot as his trembling hands were pulled into fists as he tried his best to control the whirlwind of rage swirling inside. He approached Reina, who was seated with her back toward him. The slight trembling of her shoulders hinted she was crying. âAmore mio,â Xavier whispered, stopping in front of her, but her head remained lowered as she nervously played with her fingers. Xavier knelt in front of her, taking her trembling hands, as he coaxed softly, âI'm sorry, please look at me.â Reina finally looked up with a wet face and murmured, âXavier, IâŠâ She couldn't speak as more tears continued to fall down her face. âI don't understand; did I do something wrong?â She finally asked. âNo, tesoro, blame me. I gave him the courage for him to act this reckless without thinking twice. But it ends today. Please don't cry, you're breaking my heart,â Xavi
Two months later. Xavier had finished serving Reina the food he had prepared for her. He was serving himself when he saw Reina take a spoonful to her mouth. However, the next thing he saw was Reina hurriedly pulling out some tissue papers before spitting out the food. Xavier stopped what he was doing and reached for her hand on the table and demanded, his voice steady and calm, betraying none of the tension within him. âWhat's wrong?â He asked, âDo you not like the meal?â He added, his brow furrowed with concern. Reina took the tissue away from her lips before turning to Xavier but remained silent, her gaze fixed on her untouched food. âDid I miss an ingredient?âXavier asked again, and this time Reina shook her head before saying. âXavier, I love your cooking, but for days now, I don'tâŠâ âEnjoy it?â Xavier completed her sentence. âI'm sorry, Amore mio, I've been forcing myself and eating what you cook for me, but I end up throwing everything out. I'm sorry, IâŠâ Reina tried

Reina obeyed, leaning over him and wrapping her arms around his neck, her fingers going up to his hair as she gently brushed her fingers up his nape and intertwined them in Xavier's hair. Xavier closed his eyes, overwhelmed by the intense sensations jolting through him at Reina's fingers caressing his skin. He grabbed Reina by the hips as he began guiding her, back and forth so her pussy was sliding up and down his dick, his balls hitting her asshole. âOh my goodnessâŠâ Reina cried out; she was so sensitive and shivery as Xavier continued to grind her pussy over his erection. Reina brushed her lips against Xavier's, leani

He unclasped her bra and pulled down her panties so she stood naked before him. His eyes raked her perfect body, her heart-shaped ass, and he began to circle her, stopping in front of her. Feeling exposed, Reina tried covering herself with her hands, but Xavier grabbed them, stopping her as he watched her intensely. He cupped her cheek, his thumb alluringly brushing her lips for a few torturous seconds before he began to move down her neck, her breasts, and playing with her nipples before he pinched them. âAhhhh!â Reina cried, feeling a heat pool in her legs; it was more intense than what she felt whenever Xavier kissed her. Xavier continued his escapade on her body, and Reina sucked
This chapter is rated +18; please skip it if you are uncomfortable. ~~~ Thousands of questions spiraled in Reina's mind as Xavier headed in the direction of his study. 'Why was he heading that way? She understands he told her he had prepared a surprise honeymoon. But why is he going to his study? Is the surprise perhaps there?' Reina's thoughts raced, but she couldn't voice her curiosity. She remained quiet as Xavier stepped into his study; she watched in confusion when he walked toward his desk and pressed a finger on the polished surface. Reina couldn't keep her mouth shut anymore and inquired, âWhat are you doing?â Xavier smirked; he had seen the curiosity in Reina's eyes, yet she didn't speak. Seems she got impatient. He spun around just as the secret door opened. âA secret passage?â Reina asked with surprise etched on her face. âYes, Micetta.â âSince when has it been there?â âYears, but where I'm taking you to is a surprise I prepared just for you a few weeks ago
Alfonso informed all the staff in Xavier's mansion about Reina, how they should address her, and keep their mouths shut. ~ It was afternoon when Xavier and Reina arrived at the mansion. She remained seated after Xavier exited the car. She was suddenly nervous. She didn't remember anything, and if she was right, what she remembered was their first encounter, but why does she feel something is amiss whenever she looks into Xavier's eyes? âWas he hiding something from her? Is it about the accident she had? What about her parents? Why hasn't Xavier said anything about them?â At the thought, Reina's heart skipped a beat as tears began to pool in her eyes. âWas she with her parents during the accident? Did theyâŠ?â âAre you alright, amore mio?â Xavier asked after opening Reina's side of the door and found her at the brink of tears. âWhere are my parents? Were they with me during the accident?â Reina asked, tears falling down her face. Xavier let out a shaky sigh before stretching ou
âMotherâŠ!â Reina exclaimed, sitting up, her heart beating wildly at the dream she had just had. She was about to place a hand on her racing heart to calm down when the door opened. She looked over, and her mouth hung open in shock at the handsome man who stood in the doorway. âYouâŠâ Reina breathed just as a happy smile started to form on her lips, and her cheeks turned crimson. She slyly, but quickly, tucked her hair behind her ears, an attempt to look presentable to the man at the door. She also wiped her lips with the back of her hand in case she had drooled. Just then another man in a white coat appeared behind him. That's when Reinaâs gaze scrutinized the place, her face twisting into confusion on realizing she was in a hospital ward. âWhy am I here?â Reina asked as she tried to recall how she ended up in a hospital. However, she was hit with a sudden severe headache and couldn't remember anything. Just the memory of her walking into Xavier at a coffee shop, which seemed to l
One week ago, Bianca and Lucas went to the club together. There she overheard some ladies' conversation regarding a sex trafficker named Nikolai. And after some investigation, Bianca spoke with the manager, who, after Bianca revealed her purpose, agreed to help her. But he also explained he couldn't just take the girl Bianca wanted him to take, but they had to go through the necessary paperwork and process, and also how the said person would be auctioned for the highest bidder to buy her. So the man gave Bianca the contact information of Nikolai but told Bianca to never tell him he gave her the information. Two days later, after deciding how to speak with Nikolai, Bianca called him. ~~~ Inside Nikolai's office, Nikolai and Xavier were in the middle of a discussion when his phone began to ring. He answered it on a loudspeaker, and a small woman's voice came through. âHello, am I speaking to Don Nikolai?â Nikolai shared a perplexed look with Xavier before answering. âYes, h
~ Seven and a half years ago ~ Reina's eyes flew open at the sound of her alarm, a broad smile appearing on her lips as she realized today was her nineteenth birthday. She got off the bed just as there was a knock at her door. âWho is it?â Reina asked, stretching out as her door opened to reveal her parents, with her dad holding in his hands a cake. âHappy birthday, mi hija,â Reina's mother said as she pulled her into a tight hug. âThank you, Mom,â Reina replied with a happy smile. Her father hugged her, and after making a wish, they left her to get ready. Reina had walked out of the bathroom when she heard the sound of her phone ringing. She approached it and saw it was Bianca. Smiling, she answered the call and took it to her ear. âHappy birthday, bestie,â Bianca's cheerful voice sounded from the phone, and Reina's smile widened. âThank you, Bianca. HowâŠâ Reina began, but Bianca interrupted her with, âUm, you know Lucas? The guy I introduced to you?â she asked, âOh yeah, Luc
