Chapter 57."Caroline baby go with me". Xavier asked her for the tenth time to accompany him to his meetings in Africa. "Xav. I cannot. You know it's not easy for me to travel with kids. They need my attention. And it's only two days. Sum up the deal and come back soon". She folded his shirts neatly in his bag. He had to attend a conference regarding Diamond business that he wanted to invest and he was being paranoid. Caroline tried to make him understand that she was safe here with guards on duty and it was only two days. "I will be worried about you". He sighed backhugging her. He put his face in the crook of her neck, holding her tight. "Don't be upset Xav. I won't leave home. Will take care of my work from home. I will spend time with your babies and the boys will be around. It's okay". She patted his cheeks, moving to get his other shirts placed on the bed. Xavier sighed but went over to where Emelia and Noah were lying on the bed, suckling on their pacifiers. "Why don't yo
Chapter 58"Caroline. Are you free at 2pm today"? Xavier called Caroline in her office. "Hold on Xav". She shuffled through her appointments and saw she was free for two hours. "Yes I will be available from 2pm to 3:30pm". She informed him. "Okay. I want you to come here for a board meeting. We are launching a new plan for expanding the building and I need you on board while discussing the budget and finances". Xavier explained. Caroline nodded."Okay I will be there. But Emelia and Noah"? She questioned while looking at her playing kids. "Boys will look after them, don't worry". He ended up calling to make sure Caroline was on time. Caroline picked up the intercom to inform Chelsea about the meeting with Xavier so that she would take all calls while Caroline was not in the office. She had an hour and a half before her meeting with Xavier so she got back to her file that she was studying. She was planning to shift his firm to deal with the companies and organizations rather than
Chapter 59Enzo was standing by his car in the parking lot of Shanton Enterprises, hands in the pockets of his jeans and ankles crossed. He was wearing plain blue jeans and white button down with blue loafers. He checked his watch one more time and the elevator of the basement parking opened on time. Josh, who was shuffling through his emails on the phone, busily looked up and his gaze fell on Enzo. He rubbed his eyes like a little kid and then ran to Enzo, screaming in excitement. "Oh my godddd. I cannot believe you are here. Wait! Why didn't you tell me? What if I was late"? He grumbled as Enzo held his arm to stabilize him. Enzo chuckled at his excitement. "I called your PA. I know you will be on time. I, uh, I wanted to take you out for dinner. Are you free"? He racked his hair with his fingers with a little nervous tone. "Come on handsome. I can put everything off my schedule if it's you taking me to dinner". Josh smiled and Enzo knew he meant it. Enzo unlocked the car and
Chapter 60"Ma'am there is some Mr Izmir Isac for you". Chelsea entered the office and informed Caroline. "Izmir Isac? Do we know him"? She asked with a thoughtful gaze. "Not that I remember. Maybe some recommendations". She said to her. "Hmmm. Maybe. Send him in". Caroline closed the file she was working on before turning to face the door. "Selam". She stood up listening to the heavy accent. He was Italian. His thick accent proved it. Not to forget the sun tan skin, heavy built and those curly hairs. His light blue eyes were a total contrast to his dark skin."Hello Mr Isac. Please have a seat". She gestured towards the seat and he slid in with grace. "It's been a long distance. I wanted to come here for a long time, but my work didn't allow me. Anyway, how are you doing? I have heard a lot of positive reviews from my acquaintances and people from my circle, about you. And that brought me here". He spoke in clear, fluent English. "Why thank you. Would you like to have something
Chapter 61Rafe was about to turn on his car when he saw Chelsea bent over the engine if her car. He could see she had some troubles with starting the car as how she was messing up with different cables and plugs. "Let me see". She got startled by his deep voice. "God. You scared me. What are you doing here"? She asked in a slightly breathless tone. "Well, Boss Xavier took Boss with him and the guards were free for tonight. They had some meetups with the Alferds, so I was free tonight". He cleaned the plugs of the battery and asked her to start the car but it failed. "Seems like we have to leave her here. I don't have cable jumpers or I would have kick started it". He said putting his hands on his hips. Chelsea sighed coming back ut of the car with her bag and mobile. She locked it properly and turned to Rafe. "I guess a cab would do". She shrugged her shoulders to go out and ask the guard for a cab but her bag got caught by Rafe. "At your service, madame". He bowed down in pure
Chapter 62"Any news about Isac"? Marcus asked Xavier who shook his head. "Just that he went back. But I cannot get it this simple. He came here to hire Caroline? Why Caroline? And then he left just like that? He does not let things go easily. He holds grudges until the person is buried deep down. It doesn't look this simple". Xavier racked his hair with fingers. "That's exactly my point. Have you ever encountered him in the past or any men?" Marcus asked with a deep thought. "Marc, I met thousands of people. But yes I would admit, I never met him under any ideal situation if I would say. Like it was a mere nod. But what does it have to do with Carl"? He kept swirling the paperweight in his hand. "Anyway. I have increased the security around home and Carl. Also, I am bringing in Sasha. What do you say?"Xavier told Marcus. "Sasha? I would prefer you had brought in James. But your choice. Tell Caroline about the plan so that she would keep it in her mind. You know she gets freaked
Chapter 63Xavier was watching TV with Caroline in their lounge when he heard a knock before Enzo came inside. "Boss, Sasha is here". He informed and only then Caroline saw another guard behind him. She turned to Xavier with a questioning look. "Oh right. I forgot. Bring him in". Xavier sat up straight. "Caroline he is Sasha. A new addition to your guards. He was stationed in the club, but I thought it's better if he joined the security. Sasha. Your priority is to work with boys. Enzo, Ray, Rafe and Declan. Join them to protect Caroline and my twins. Any harm to them will never be forgiven. I trust you will not let me down but believe me, if I ever caught you disobeying me that led to any harm to my family, I will be the one to slice you. Got it"? Xavier said in a cold tone. Even Enzo gulped hard. "Roger Boss. I swear I will protect your family by giving my life". He raised his hand as the oath made Xavier nod. "Enzo, ask Ray to give him a tour. Show him the cars Caroline will u
Chapter 64Chelsea was watching her favorite series on Netflix when her phone rang. She saw the name and sat up straight. "Rafe?""Hi. Yes. I. Did I disturb you?" She heard his hesitant voice. "No, not at all. I was just surfing Netflix. Tell me." She was actually curious as it was the first time he called her. "It's just. Actually I am free. I thought if we could go out, if you have time". He spoke on the phone. "Yes I am free. But what's the occasion? No I don't have any objection but just asking to dress up". She asked, trying to sound casual but internally she was screaming in glee. "Nothing special. A pair of jeans and a shirt would do. Keep a jacket with you. How about I pick you up in like twenty minutes?" He asked her. "Perfect. I will wait." She ended the call and squealed at her seat like a teenager on her first date. A pair of blue denim, red shirt and blue jacket with boots. She tied her hair in a ponytail and completed her look with a bright red lipstick. She wink
