THE NEXT DAY Xalia smiled happily as she ate her breakfast, she kept smiling as she recalled how sweet Draven was to her last night.Allison kept staring at her and wondered what was making her smile so widely.“Okay! That's it. Spill it. You have been smiling all morning since you came back from Draven’s room. Tell me everything now!” Allison said, turning to her.“Draven and I went to the Stone Mountain last night and kissed me.” She giggled and Allison looked at her confused.“Wait, he hasn't kissed you before then?” She asked and Xalia shook her head.“But you guys had sex and also kissed on your wedding day.”“He didn't kiss me that day, it was just a peck on the side of the lips.” “Woah. So what happened next?” Allison asked excitedly.“Well, because of my injury, we couldn't have sex so he went down on me instead.”“Oh my God.” Allison giggled and they both laughed. Xalia’s phone rang and she looked at the caller. It was Draven, she giggled happily before picking up the call.
Draven breathed out as he stood in front of Xalia’s suite, he lifted his hand and pressed the doorbell. “Come in, it's open!” He heard Allison yell and slowly walked in, he walked fully into the suite and paused when he saw her on the bed munching on a bag of chips. He looked around wondering where Xalia was.“What?” Allison asked.“Where is Xalia?” He asked and she frowned.“She has been in your suite all day so much she is supposed to be with you.” “No, she left like an hour ago, she is supposed to be here.”“She didn't come here.” “What?” Draven asked and Allison got off the bed.“I haven't seen her in hours.” “Shit.” He muttered and hurriedly brought out his phone from his pants pocket, he dialled her number but the call wasn't connecting.“Fuck.” “Is something wrong?” Allison asked as her heart started to race. “You really don't have to be worried. She grew up in Atlanta, she knows her way around.” Allison said but Draven didn't give her a response. He rushed out of the su
THE NEXT DAY“I am going to miss you so much.” Allison whined as she hugged Xalia tightly.“I know, I will miss you too.” “Too?”“So much.” She added and Allison smiled.“Much better.” She muttered and Xalia chuckled.“You know you guys are seeing this weekend, right? She will be coming to New Jersey this weekend.” Darven said walking to them and they sighed.“I know, but I have to pay all my bills till Friday.” She whined and Xalia laughed.“Oh, you can just say you will miss my credit card.” Draven scoffed and she chuckled.“Aren't you going to say goodbye to Henry?”“Nah, I will see him this weekend. What's the point?” She shrugged and Draven shook his head as he stared at them.“It's a fucking hard to understand girls.” He muttered.“Bye, baby.” Allison said and hugged Xalia again, Draven rolled his eyes and pulled Xalia away from her. Xalia laughed and waved at Allison as Draven pulled her towards the plane.“Oh, they are finally done.” Henry said and glanced at Allison, she sm
Xalia sat on the bed and watched the doctor as he checked her wound, it was a lot better and the pain already reduced drastically. She already took the shot. “You are good to go.” He said and she nodded with a fake smile, she got off the bed and walked out of the room to see Draven waiting. Without them saying a word to each other, he walked ahead of her and she trailed behind him. Being lost in thought, Xalia suddenly bumped into a guy and was about to fall, he hurriedly held her hand to stop her from falling.“Oh my God, I am so sorry. I didn't mean to… ““It's fine.” He cut her off and smiled at her, Xalia smiled back and they both stared at each other. Draven suddenly stood next to her and gave the guy a questioning look. “Wade.” The guy called and Xalia rolled her eyes. Of course, everybody knows him. “Beck.” Draven called back.“I see you are a friend of Wade.” The guy chuckled. “She is my wife.” He replied and he looked at Xalia surprised.“You got married to Wade?” He ask
Xalia sighed and stared at him, he looked bothered and lost in thought.“Is something wrong?” She found herself asking and he glanced at her. He didn't say anything and she sighed.‘Isn't he going to do anything? Is he just going to tie her down without doing anything?’ She thought.“Is there a reason I am being tied up like this?” She asked and he stood up, he untied her and walked out of the red room. Xalia sighed and wondered what was wrong with him.He seemed colder than usual.“Is he mad about what happened in the hospital?” She mumbled to herself and shook her head.“Nah, it can't be that.” She said and stood up, she put on her clothes and took a look at the room before walking out.*********AT NIGHT Xalia stood in front of Draven’s room and thought about knocking on the door. She couldn't help but worry about him, she deserved to be mad at him but she found it so hard.Since he left the red room, he has been in his room all day. She had lunch and dinner alone. Things were sta
“Draven.” Xalia whispered in fear. He kept staring at the man waiting for him to make the next move.“Really Henry? Cut the crap already.”Draven scoffed and rolled his eyes, he folded his arms and Xalia became confused.‘Henry?’ She thought. “What the fuck man?” The stranger groaned and took off his face cap and face mask, he withdrew the gun from Xalia’s head and she turned to him.“Henry? What the fuck?” She yelled and hit his chest, Henry laughed and Draven walked towards them.“That wasn't funny.” She said and he chuckled.“I know, I am sorry. I just wanted to pull a prank on Draven.”“And how did that work out?” Draven asked.“You knew it was him all along?” Xalia asked, turning to Draven.“Not until I told him to pull the trigger.” “What? What if he wasn't the one?” She asked and he shrugged.“That would have been bad.” He replied and Xalia scoffed.“You both are crazy.” She said angrily and it walked away from them, Henry watched her storm away before turning to Draven.“You
“What are you doing here?” He asked with a smile.“I just came to get a coffee, my friend is waiting outside.” She replied, glancing at the car. Cody glanced at the car and chuckled.“That is Draven’s car.” He chuckled and Xalia smiled.“Yeah, but my friend is the one driving.” “Oh. Well, see you around Mrs. Wade.” He said and smiled at her before walking fully into the restaurant. Xalia bit her lip to stop herself from smiling widely, she walked out and walked to the car.She entered and Allison gave her a questioning look.“What?” Xalia asked.“Don't ask me what. I saw that, I fucking saw that.” “Saw what?” “That smile. You suddenly beamed around him. Who is he?” She asked and Xalia chuckled. “Someone Draven knows.” “Is there something you are not telling me?” “No.” Xalia shrugged and gulped out of her coffee.“Is there more to you and Draven’s fight?” Allison asked worriedly.“It's nothing, Allison.” She smiled and Allison sighed before nodding. She ignited the car and drove
Allison rolled her eyes at Xalia and she giggled.“What?” Xalia asked with a smile.“I don't get it. What is so special about Cody?” Allison asked.“I don't know. I just feel so different around him.”“Your husband is a million times better than him.” “Yeah, whatever.” Xalia shrugged and looked away, she wasn't feeling comfortable having that conversation with Allison.“May I have your attention please?” A man called as he walked to the little stage, everyone paid attention to him. “Let's start the activities of today.” He announced and a few people clapped, he called on a group of strippers to the stage and the men cheered. Xalia sighed and drank a little out of her drink, she thought about Draven and she looked around for him. ‘Isn't he coming?’ She thought.*******A WHILE LATER “When are they going to get on with the announcement?” Allison groaned as she glanced at the time on her phone.“Hey, have you seen Draven around?” Xalia asked.“No, I haven't seen Henry either.” She r
“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.” Malia mumbled and rolled her eyes.“Is that going to be too hard?” Xalia asked. Draven suddenly leaned closer to her and whispered into her ear, they all watched both of them with anger fuming in them.Draven pulled away from her and she smiled and turned to them.“Where do I need to sign to approve it?” He asked and Xalia’s father smiled. Draven signed the contract and agreed to give them the loan, the meeting was over and Xalia stood up with Draven. She wanted to leave the room so badly, that their faces sickened her. They all sold her out and left her for the worst to happen to her, she didn't deserve any of that.“Can we leave now?” She asked Draven and he nodded, she kept ignoring her mother’s look. She walked out of the room with Draven and met Kyle in the hallway, his eyes were on her as she walked past him and entered the elevator with Draven. As the elevator door closed, Xalia exhaled loudly and ran her hands through her hair. That wa
THE NEXT DAY“You mean Xalia drew out this plan?” Henry asked as he stared at the prints on the table and Draven nodded in response.“What the fuck?” He mumbled.“As she planned a heist before?”“How am I supposed to know that? She just said she has been to the Noble building before.“Damn, your wife is amazing.” Henry chuckled as he kept staring at the blueprints. They were both in the living room.“Hey guys.” Xalia suddenly called and they looked up to see her, she smiled at them and walked to Draven, she sat next to him and smiled at him. “Draven told me you drew out this plan. That is nice.” “Thanks.” She replied and her phone beeped.“Who is that?” Draven asked, seeing how she beamed when she read the text.“It's Allison.” She replied and Draven turned back to Henry.“So, when are we doing this?” Henry asked.“In two days, we are leaving for Atlanta tomorrow.” “Yay, I can't wait.” Xalia giggled and Draven turned to her.“By we, I mean, me and Henry.” He said and her smile slow
Xalia walked down the stairs and paused when she saw Draven and some men, including Henry sitting in the living room. She recognised her father’s personal assistant. They turned to her and she ignored their stares, she walked towards the hallway and Draven stared at her. She got to the hallway and headed to Draven’s study. “That will be all for today.” Draven said out of the blue and the men turned to him surprised.“What? Why?” A man asked.“Cause I said so.” Draven replied and they all exchanged looks, they mumbled words to each other before standing up and walking out of the house.Xalia’s father's personal assistant and Henry stood while others walked out.Draven gave him a questioning look and he bowed slightly.“I have a message from McCall.” He said.“And what is it?”“It is about his daughter. He would like to know how she is doing.” He replied and Draven scoffed.“How do you think she is doing?” Draven replied and he bowed.“My apologies sir. Have a nice day.” He said and w
Xalia pressed the code and the door opened, she stepped in and it was empty. He wasn't there yet. She sighed and sat on the bed and waited for him, the door opened a few minutes later and he walked in. He was shirtless but he put on ripped jeans. Xalia became confused because that was the first time seeing him dressed in it.As she thought of the reason he was in ripped jeans, she recalled a part in the book she read about the dominant dressed in ripped jeans and she gulped."What is Draven up to today?” She thought. “When I ask you to wait for me in the red room, I need you to take off your clothes, kneel and place your hands on your thighs.” He said without turning to her, he was at his shelf picking equipment.Without saying a word, Xalia stood up and took off her clothes, she was naked in a few seconds and she knelt down. She placed her hands on her thighs.” Draven picked up a remote and increased the temperature in the room, Xalia shivered because of how cold it was. She stare
