Chapter 43 Apologies

XANDER’S HOME, NEW YORK.

“I shouldn’t have come down here,” Nina mumbled as she parked in front of the house.

“Well, you are here now. You might as well go inside.” Tania interrupted her soliloquy.

“Why didn’t you just suggest that I call him instead? Coming here is a stretch. What if he has a house guest or doesn’t take visitors on his resting day? It's not working hours. Won’t I be accused of using my privilege of knowing him to take advantage?”

“Well, it wouldn’t make sense if you don’t use such an opportunity occasionally.” She joked.

Nina cut her a glare. Tania had insisted they visit Xander for her to explain herself to him and find the best solution to the situation at hand. Nina had resisted, but Tania knew how to be persistent. Her face paled at the thought of Xander getting angry at her for doing something as cruel as causing another person bodily harm.

Tania noticed her demeanor and sighed. “You look like you have just bumped into a ghost. Relax, N

I was just wondering why you had the phone on the lock to that extent. What are you hiding, huh?” Dawn wiggled her brows at him.He raised a suspicious brow. “Why are you interested in whatever I am hiding?”“Nothing. I just used to know your passcode to the house, and now you changed it.”“I didn’t change it because of you. I did this to keep Jace out of my house. But he knows it now anyway, and I hate that he keeps that much tab on me.”“I don’t think I would ever like your brother.”“He doesn’t like you either. So I bet that is just perfect. No one will get hurt.”“You do know he gets down with my sister, right?”Xander stared blankly at her. “Meaning? Isn’t your sister in a relationship?”Dawn mirrored his expression. “Does that make any sense? Since when do you give excuses for irrelevant behaviors?”

How did I miss your growing up this much?”Xander watched silently as the drama unfolded.The both of them stood up to hug each other. Only then did Jason notice the bump hiding behind Nina's sweater. He held her gaze with shock in his eyes.“Is it Xander’s?” He asked, looking towards his nephew with a distant emotion in them.Nina chuckled. “Not at all, sir. It's a long story.”“Well, this is your home now. You are welcome to say everything until whatever time.” Jason assured.“What happened?” Nina asked when she returned to her seat. “I waited for two years, constantly watching the door with the hope that you will walk in again. But you never did. I was transferred from one foster home to the other, which was tormenting, by the way, until I got a chance to live my life and forget everything.”Jas

Is she okay?” He asked.Jason held up a blank stare. “Are you asking me that?”“Of course, why can’t I? You hardly come by the office, and the day you finally choose to, I am the one you put a call through.”Without a word, his uncle placed a pill container before him, watching him sternly. Xander gulped when he realized what it was all about.“Xander, you are pushing me to have no choice but to rat you out. Why do you keep doing this to yourself?”He scratched the back of his neck, grinning sheepishly. “Is this about the other day at the cabin? I can assure you I was playing around. It's nothing serious.”Jason didn’t look any convinced. “The more you lie, the more angered I become. Aren’t you worried about how much your nonchalance will take from you? Do you not care at all?”“It makes me more focused.”“Hel

I need to make him see what he is missing.”She rolled her eyes. “You will be disappointed. Those Jackson brothers are nothing to write home about. Trust me.” She said, walking away.Dawn refused to be discouraged. Xander is nothing like his brother, Jace. The car horn outside made her heart jolt. She rushed off to stare at herself in the mirror. Satisfied with her look, she went to open the door for Xander to come in. “Wow! Are we expecting others?” Xander asked when he sighted the decoration.She flushed in embarrassment. “No, it is just for the two of us. Remember this is my invitation. You are not supposed to complain about whatever it is I do.”He raised both hands in surrender. “My bad. So what are

He had expected his parents to arrive at the due date, and they had to go all out to humiliate him by allowing the board members to come before them.“How long are we expected to wait for your parents, young man?” Jason asked sternly.“They—they would be here soon.” Asher stuttered in response.The door opened, letting in Darren and Leila. They looked chilled despite keeping others waiting.“We do not appreciate your disregard, Mr and Mrs Taylor.” One of the members said.Darren scoffed. “You all asked for it. Maybe I might respect you if you aren’t acting so shady. How dare any of you suggest selling my company after so many years? My family and I have worked tirelessly over the years. You can’t endure a bit of a challenging time. How shameful!” He hissed.“Why won’t you just trust my son to handle everything?” Leila questioned.Mr Anderso

She is probably in a meeting or something. Didn’t you say your goodbyes early this morning?”“I just want to let her know I am leaving.”“You can always call her when you get to your destination. Stop dropping calls like you might be joining your forefathers soon. And please call your driver to drop you off at the airport. Whenever you travel, it’s stressful for me, and I have to do the drop-off.”“Are you admitting that you will miss me?”“Oh, please don’t get ahead of yourself.” Jace snorted, pulling his face away as he hurried to the car.Xander chuckled. “Hey, you don’t have to walk me to the car.” He said, turning to Dawn, who had

She remembered she should have called Xander to ask how his trip went. Only to take her phone from the bag and realize the battery was down. She plugged in the phone and got rid of her clothes quickly.Hunger got the best of her, and Carla's pasta and grilled chicken had her nose twitching. She hurried out in excitement.“I was just about to come get you,” Carla said, stretching her phone to Nina. “Xander just called. He says he has been trying to reach you, but your line is off.”Nina smacked her lips. “I didn’t know it was off; I am charging it now. Thanks.” She mumbled, taking the phone from her and redialing the contact. “Hey.”“Nina!” Xander sounded very relieved when the line connected. “It's so nice to hear from you. I was about to lose my mind. How are you?”“I am fine. Sorry, I just got home t

Why would they do this?”Carlos managed to find somewhere to sit. “I was just as shocked as you.” “Did you know they were going to do this, Nina?” Matilda asked.Nina blinked back into the present. Her eyes couldn’t leave the screen. The company split its department budget in half, which is very severe because they are on the verge of making more products, as prompted by market demands.“I—I have no idea. The Finance Team told us we would never have to worry about funds.” She stuttered in response.“They lied.” Dani hissed.Joshua shook his head. “This is probably a mistake.

Nina rolled my eyes, hiding her smile. “Oh, not today,” she tried to escape, but Xander quickly grabbed her. “Don’t you dare!” He laughed, tickling her that she laughed so hard. His hand reached for her bare thighs. And before she knew it, Xander grabbed her and pushed her down on the couch. It was fast! He pulled her legs apart and gave her breasts a rough squeeze. He positioned Nina just like he wanted. He yanked off his belt and tied her hand above her head. “Nasty, isn’t it?” Nina giggled.“Wait till I’m in full mood!” Xander removed her pants and sh

She had come in to change after Winter doused the other dress with candy juice as they were due to take pictures. Tania huffed tiredly. “How else do you want the dress to look on you, Nina? You look beautiful enough. Come on now, Winter would be waiting, wondering what her dearest mama is still doing hidden away.” Venus peeked into the room. “We are waiting for you. Nina, Winter is eager to cut her cake.” She called out. “Yes, Mum, I am coming.” She replied. Nina’s face fell as she stared at herself intensely. Tania walked up to her and rubbed her back slowly. “I wish he was here.” “You know he would have loved to be here. It would help if you stayed strong for you two. I believe better days are closer than expected.” Tania comforted. Nina smiled, glancing at Tania’s bulging belly. “Jace looks elated these days.” She laughed l

The section she is heading to must be the reason why. However, Nina has decided, knowing she is doing what suits a great cause, that she doesn’t mind whatever she has to do. “Hello.” She greeted the receptionist. “Hi, ma’am. Welcome. Who would you like to see?” “Uncle J.R. Oh, pardon me, I mean Dr Jason. Is he in? He is expecting me.” “You must be Miss Nina Ruiz?” “Yes, please.” “Alright, please come with me.” Jason was on a call when they walked into the office. At the sight of Nina, he smiled heartily. “Let me call you back, Dr Smith. My daughter just walked in.” He mumbled and hung up. Nina blushed at his referral. “Hello, Uncle J.R.” “How are you, my darling? Feels like ages.” He laughed, embracing her. “I am good. How are you, too?” “Great. Please sit.” He motioned towards the couch. “Thank you. So, I am yo

Relaxing her shoulder, she sat on the couch and faced him. Xander held up a weak smile. “Why don’t you tell me what you must say first?” He urged. She exhaled slowly and took his hand in hers. “We are not kids, Xander. Neither are we immature. Even though my first marriage was a wreck, I believe life continues. Being heartbroken does not mean one's life has to come to an end. Ever since you came into my life, I have been able to see things differently. I am learning to love and embrace life as it should. One thing I promised myself after being betrayed by Asher and Andrea was never to trust anyone. Also, I vowed off men, telling myself all I needed to do was work hard and get back on top. What mattered was getting back at the people who made my life a living hell.” Nina chuckled, still caressing his hand, “But I was wrong. I couldn’t

He turned to her, stopping halfway with his shirt button. “Why not?” “Because it's been two days. I need to get to work.” “Do it from home. Also, Tania would be coming today. Aren’t you excited to see her?” “I am, but…” She pouted, exiting the bed and wrapping her arm around him seductively. “Come on now, what happened last time will never happen again. I will defend myself no matter what.” “That right there is the problem. I don’t want you defending yourself no matter what. I have it covered. Please stay put here until Asher signs the court order, Nina.” Nina huffed in resolve, knowing there was no way out anymore. “Fine, I will just stay back.” She yawned loudly and sat at the edge of the bed, staring at his broad back. For the past few days, she has laid in Xander’s bed. He works until late at night, and she finds his arm wrapped around her wh

Despite his promise to meet with her two days back to celebrate her unexpected promotion, he didn’t show up and gave an excuse for being busy. She thought he would reach out afterward, but he still hasn’t called. Her hand trailed Winter’s sleepy face absentmindedly. She brought her to the office to take her around the place like the little one would understand what was happening. Regarding Xander, her inability to get angry at him is the most annoying thing for her. Instead, she is worried that something might be wrong; at the same time, her ego prevents her from calling him. Her eyes roamed her new office space, and it felt surreal. They made the immediate move of X&J Foods into the M&M building. Nina occupied the same office Asher had sat in as the CEO but with a significant redesign. She was more than happy to see Asher and Andrea beneath

In his distorted state, Asher noticed Andrea rushing out to her car. He let out a hiss, wondering what spa she had an appointment with again. He still can’t get over the fact that Nina holds the rein of a company he had dreamt of for years. She walked in without doing anything to reap where she didn’t sow. He let out a wince at the ache that struck his head. Suddenly, the door opened, letting in an angry-looking Leila. “Have you seen what your stupidness has caused?” She hollered. He held his aching head down. “What is it this time?” Leila screamed into her palm. “I told you to control yourself and not do anything stupid. But I don't remember you listening. Now everyone knows we have been humiliated by Nina. Everything that happened was written in the tabloids, every bloody thing.” Asher let out a slight cough. “Ca

So, M&M Foods is all yours now?” Jace asked for the umpteenth time.Xander laughed amidst the celebration going on in the lobby. “Yes, Jace. X&J foods will only get bigger and better from here on.”“Nina must be so happy.”“I am sure she is.” He mused while staring at her sweetly among the crowd. “That reminds me, Dawn should be here to celebrate with us. Where is she?”Jace shifted on his legs; Xander hadn’t checked his mail. “She must have informed someone of her absence.”“That is strange,” Xander said, checking his phone for any message she must have dropped.“Why not check your mail?”“Mail? Dawn hardly uses her mail unless it is for work. But then, let me check.” His brows furrowed when he indeed found a message from Dawn. It happened to be a resignation letter. “Take a look, Jace. She resigned. How am I just getting to know about this now? We still spoke a while back, and she didn’t mention an

    Chapter 88 The Naive OneM&M FOODS, NEW YORK.Nina stared anxiously at the building and suddenly felt an intense pressure in her bowel. She thought about what might be going through Xander’s head for the rest of the weekend. He had constantly evaded any means of them getting intimate beyond foreplay, and Nina was beginning to think he might not have as much interest in her as she did. Either that, or she is pushing too fast.Thinking about that alone had her on the edge, now returning to the same place where she had experienced so much humiliation it made her feel suffocated.Inhaling sharply, she gripped Xander by the arm. He turned to see her pale face.“Hey baby, are you okay?” He asked in a worried tone.Nina managed to put up a smile. “Yes, I am. I need to get to the restroom. I will join you soon.”“I will wait for you then.”“No, don’t do that. I know my way around here, remember?”Xander looked skeptical, but he chose to respect her privacy. “Alright, just call me if you need
