Chapter 96Xavier emerged from the water, racking his hair with fingers. The kids were swimming and playing around him in their house pool, wearing their swimming suits and tubes. He looked at the chaizy and saw Caroline sleeping with a book over her face. Her bikini clad body was shining in the early spring sun. The weather wasn't hot to say, and it was her favorite pastime these days to lay down in the sun and absorb as much Vitamin D. Her body was a shade of tan and that would always make Xavier horny. The stone on her navel was sparkling in the sun and so was her ring. He kept looking at her for a while before he stepped out of the pool. The guards were off today, as Xavier had planned a family day. He took a towel and dried his hair and then wiped his body before going to sit with Caroline. Trying not to wake her up, he kissed her belly gently and smiled when he felt his twins moving inside. It was the 35th week and she was due anytime. According to her, the twins were hypera
Chapter 97Enzo Josh SpecialEnzo had finished installing the new software for the security system of the orphanage he was working in. The building was under Marcus' organization, solely built to help and raise the stray kids, abused, molested and even raped. They provided the best counselors for the betterment and rehab of children with PTSD and emotional breakdown. They would hold little activities to keep the children busy and take their mind off the chaos in their life. Marcus had hired Enzo's services to install the latest updated security system to protect this place. He named it 'Serenity'. A peaceful place to live and it lived up to its name. It's been ten years since he had started with hai security softwares and he was growing in the market. His prior work, guarding the Russell's was still his first love and first preference, but with kids grown up a bit, and the increasing number of guards in the premises, they were able to rotate their time to spare some for their fami
Chapter 98Fifteen Years Later. "Caroline .. carolineeeeee". Caroline walked out of the kitchen as she heard Xavier screaming for her. She inhaled deeply, preparing herself for his possible reaction. Not that she digested the news easily, but talking about Xavier, she knew he would exaggerate it before listening and understanding. "Caroline… where…. There you are". She entered the lounge with the sweetest smile she could mutter, as she walked up to him and greeted him."Welcome home, Love". She leaned in to kiss his lips. He did allow a brief touch. "Don't. Don't welcome home, love me". He growled. "Where is Xiana?" He looked around to look for his elder daughter. "She is in her room. Preparing for her exams". Caroline tried to sound calm, internally she was freaking out. "What happened Xavier? Come. Have a seat first. Do you want a drink?" She innocently asked him, pulling his hand to take him to the couch. "Carl…". This time Xavier spoke in his ultimate dominant tone making he
Chapter 99Ray had told Xavier he was ready to suffer any punishment or penalty but he didn't expect that it would hurt so bad. He couldn't say a word when Declan asked for the keys, stating that Xiana asked him to drop her to the university. He knew she was right and she should have done the same because honestly no one can spend time with those who reject your feelings. Still …Declan looked at him with sympathetic eyes and patted his shoulder before going to open the door for her. And she slid in the car without looking around or to look at him. He was still staring in no where when Caroline stood beside him. "Oh. Boss. Ready? What's the schedule today?" He quickly schooled his expressions back to the stoic, cold bodyguard. He didn't want to show how much it effected him. "To Coslov's office. Then I have to go to the mall". Caroline said with a little smile. She patted her arm, stating that she knew everything he wassl trying to hard but she didn't say anything about it. He
Chapter 100"Won't you share what's bothering you? I thought we were best friends". Declan said in a rather disappointed tone. Enzo and Rafe clucked their tongues too. Ray was sitting with the bedhead and tasting out of the window from his hospital room. "Look, you know we won't judge you. Hell we never judge each other no matter what. Though I was afraid when I confessed about Josh. So what is it, Ray?" Enzo tried again and this time they all managed to catch a glimpse of a feeling, an emotion, in his eyes before he schooled his features back into stoic. "Ray….". "Guys. Can we drop it?" He said in a tired tone though he knew the answer."No". They all said in unison. "And we have only half an hour left for visiting you, so better spill it out". Declan said in a no compromising tone making Ray sigh in defeat. "I". Uh… it wasn't easy to confess. "I like someone". He managed to say it. "Oh really? And here I thought the world had come to an end". Declan said in a sarcastic tone. "I
Chapter 101Ray spent two days at the hospital and then he asked Xavier for a few days off to stay back. Xavier could see his miserable state and he was aware that Xiana had met him. He could see the love in his eyes but he couldn't do anything when Ray didn't want to fight for his love. He let Ray take a much needed break and went to Caroline to talk about how to plan it further. "Hi Love. What are you making?" He found her in the kitchen getting a tray out of the oven, filled with muffins. "Hi. I was just making muffins". She smiled at him pouting her lips for a quick kiss. "I need to talk to you Carl". Xavier said, rubbing his forehead. "I know. Give me ten minutes``. Of course she knew him better than anyone. It was the time she needed to put another lot in the oven and turned to him with a basket of freshly baked muffins. "I am worried about Ray and Xiana. He is stubborn and stupid and doesn't want to fight for her. I had a word with Enzo who told me about their conversatio
Chapter 102. "So you are going out with Mika. Micheal Hendrix?" Emelia said sprawling on her bed. Xiana folded the tee shirt she was packing and placed it in her luggage. "I won't go if it was me". Willow said, adjusting her glasses on her nose. "And keeping in mind that he is a player". Mari said from her corner. "Guys, I asked you to help me pack, not to lecture me". She pursed her lips. "Pack for what? You have already packed your new booty long skirt. Your string bikinis, that I was begging you to give me. Those fuck me heels. And every makeup item to make you look sultry. What else do you want to impress the great Micheal Hendrix". Emelia said in a tone too sweet for her. Xiana cringed internally but kept her features cool. "Ana, I know you have not moved from Raynold, why are you doing it?" Mari asked in a serious tone. "I don't know who the hell is he". Xiana said, throwing her toiletries in the bag. "Come on Ana. You cannot cheat us". Willow huffed. Xiana let out a
Chapter 103."Here is your room princess". Micheal opened the second door in the hallway. Next to his bedroom. "There will be over twenty people. And there is more than enough accomodation for all of them. Some might share, but not you. It's exclusively yours". He smiled warmly at her. "Mika!". She sighed. "you didn't have to do it". She said in a defeated tone. "No. But you deserve the best. I don't want anyone to disturb you and annoy you. Besides, most of the time we will be outside. Keep this room locked when you are inside or outside. And if you are scared at night. I am just at the next door". Micheal winked, making her chuckle. "Meanie". She scrunched her nose cutely. "Let's go in the kitchen and have breakfast". He held her hand and took her downstairs. He was a nice person. A good friend. So what if he wasn't loyal? So what if he wasn't into a monogamous relationship? Her mind signaled her that there was only one person in the world who would be loyal and loving at the s
