Chapter 65 Not who she is!

X&J EMPIRE, NEW YORK.

Xander exhaled when he tried Nina’s line again, but she didn’t call back. He didn’t need anyone to tell him she was trying to avoid him because of the kiss. A smile settled on his face at the reminder. It kept his heart jumping every time. It felt like he could die and be peaceful knowing he got a chance after such a long time to kiss Nina again. His entire body was practically floating when their lips met.

He wasn’t surprised that Nina called the kiss a mistake. Her denial hurts him, but he doesn’t care much. Mistake or not, Xander intends to make it happen again. A message notification popped up on his phone; he checked it and shook his head, grinning. Nina had sent a text saying she was busy and couldn’t speak to or see him as he requested.

The hiding game was too familiar to him. He would only give Nina until the end of the day before showing himself again. Feeling satisfied with his decision, he returned his attention to work. B

    Chapter 66 Suicidal ThoughtsNINA’S HOME, NEW YORK.Nina’s nose was basking in the perfume Xander had on before she snapped back to reality and pushed him away from her gently. She was still wearing her clothes and had just returned from work. Nina thought she was dreaming when she felt his comforting arms wrap around her. The same feeling she got when they dated in college still enveloped her. “What is going on?” She asked while looking back and forth between him and the bag in his hand. Xander pushed past her gently and shut the door before ushering himself into the couch. “Well, first things first. It would help if you welcomed me. I will be your new roommate starting from now.” Nina frowned at him. “What do you mean by that?” “It's the same thing it means in general, Nina. Now sit; we need to talk.” But she remained standing. “Nina, please.” He urged. She finally settled stiffly on the couch. “Why are you here?” Nina asked, avoiding his eyes. Xander inhaled deeply. “So, abou

She yawned loudly at the sight of Xander whistling a tune while flipping pancakes. “Wow, I didn’t realize you could cook. Good morning.” She mused, settling into a stool cautiously. Xander grinned, serving her a plate. “Majorly breakfast. As for the rest, I can only do the basics. Thankfully, I have enough money to order meals.”He said with a wink. She chuckled. “Thank you.”“You are welcome. And if you are craving for anything. Do not hesitate to let me know.” Nina smiled to herself, staring down at the whole plate. “I don’t know why you do all this for me, Xander. But thank you.” “How many times do you intend to keep thanking me? I am doing this because I want to. So let me stop thinking you owe me. I will get ready for work now. You can take your time.” He said while hanging the apron. “Why? You haven’t eaten anything.” “I am not much of a br

Xander made a face and got up to pick up his suit. “Where are you going?”“Thanks to you and uncle, I no longer have a private moment because you all keep meddling.” He replied with a frown.“We wouldn’t be doing that if it wasn’t for your good. Why do you enjoy making us out to be the villains?”“Maybe because you all are. I told you I am fine.”Jace huffed in exhaustion. He hates how they always go back and forth on the discussion. “Xander, you will regret it soon if you don’t take things seriously.”“I am taking the medications regularly. What else do you want from me?” Xander sounded frustrated.“It is beyond that, Xander. And you know it. You chug down alcohol at will. Your lifestyle is not helping.”“Probably, if you spend a day or two in my shoes, you will get to know if alcohol is a worthy compa

Tania was on the other end, cracking her up with her field trip memories.“I am glad you are having fun.” She mused, checking through the menu.Tania hummed in response. “How have you been?”“Good, I am getting closer to my delivery date. And I must admit, Xander has been of so much help within his short time here. I hardly do anything.”“That’s nice of him. I was about to think of him as some villain.”She giggled. “That makes the two of us.”“So what are you up to?”“I was craving a burger for lunch, so I came out to have some.”“Does Xander know you are out by yourself?” Tania inquired.Nina snickered. “Oh, please. I am not a child, you know. But he is aware of where I am. He had a meeting to round up and would join me soon. Like a mother hawk, he keeps a close eye on me. Can be annoying sometimes.” She admitted that she enjoy

That was supposed to be his chance to get her back and have Andrea return to whatever hellhole she came from. The man looked young, and he seemed protective of Nina. To cap it all, he had to call her baby. Could it be that they are married? Asher asked himself, even though he didn’t see a ring on her finger. He thought no man would be in sight when he found her. Nina has always been on track, making him doubt she would ever get over him, especially since it's not even been a year since they have been apart. He pulled at his hair, feeling genuinely frustrated. The company sank before him, and he couldn’t find a way out. Many staff have been laid off, and the shareholders are grumbling. Everyone appears ready to bolt if given the chance. Andrea walked into the room, humming to herself, just in time

He was sure the incident from the other night still angered her. They haven’t discussed it yet, and he is beginning to feel exhausted from the silence. “Nina, why are you doing this? I thought we were adults and more mature than all these complexities?” He queried. Nina stared down at her hands. She hasn’t been able to look at him because of her dark thoughts. The doctors said the desire to be touched isn’t strange. However, Nina knows deep within her that the urge is beyond just wanting to have sex. She wants Xander. The thought of him disrupts her nights, and it’s frustrating that she cannot masturbate with her fingers as she always does because of her big belly. Being close to him makes her heart race beyond average, and the hesitation to follow through with the burning need to jump at him and kiss him even now is due to her thin re

Xander is not a child; whatever he decides to do with himself is none of your business.”“He is my son, and I will determine what becomes of him. I am not going to have my son roaming around homeless.”Jace cackled. “You make me laugh. Why are you talking like he is a jobless man? He is full grown, mum. Learn to mind your business.” Without warning, Venus smacked him from behind his head. Jace whined in pain. “I really should call the cops on you, mum. What you just did is assault. You are being a threat to my life.”“I would like to see you try. I know this is your way of stalling for time. Someone has been calling you since we drove down here.

Xander leaned into the couch, staring at her in amusement.“Are you about to give another hormone excuse?” There was a trail of teasing in his words.She shut her eyes tightly, letting out a soft chuckle. “Can we not capitalize on it, please.”Xander raised both hands in surrender. “Alright, mama. Whatever you want. So what did you discuss with Carla?”She leaned further into the couch, stretching her legs out. “Nothing. I mainly asked her why I should go to dinner with your mum.”He laughed lightly. “You are so blunt. So what have you decided?”“Well, to not be rude, I will go to the dinner, and you will have to come with me to get a dress.”“I will gladly do that. Do you want to go now?”“Yes, please. And I would like something nice to eat. My baby wants some.” Nina mused, rubbing gently at her belly.“Okay then. Let me change quickly.”They

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

    Chapter 93 Two peas in a pudXANDER’S HOME, NEW YORK.Nina saw how nervous he was and felt bothered that she might have said something she shouldn’t. 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

    Chapter 91 Terrible FatherNINA’S HOME, NEW YORK. Gripping the phone tightly, Nina let out a long hiss. Xander does have a wrong side to him. 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
