(Karis's pov)

Xander was busy cooking while I stared blankly at him, lost for words. "Are you cooking for me?" I rubbed my eyes and then asked, because this had to be a dream, why the hell was he cooking for me?

"Who else will I cook for aside from my wife? Well, unless we have a mini version of us, which is not a bad idea." Xander replied not taking his eyes off what he was doing. He switched off the cooker to drain the pasta. Then he started making the sauce. I had no idea he could cook, this was the first time.

"This won't make me hate you any less." I retorted at him. If he thought cheap tricks like this could win me over he better think again.

Xander glanced at me with a very dazzling smile that sparkled in his eyes and showed his dimples. "At least you didn't reject the idea of having children." He chimed, leaving me speechless.

I hopped off the counter to head back to my room. No matter what, I was still mad at him, so this little kind act was only infuria

    (Karis's pov) Xander snapped once again. I had successfully pushed him to the brink but he had no right to be angry when he was with Emma yesterday. "Karis," Xander said, stretching out his hand for me. His voice was calm, but I could sense a brewing storm. I nervously swallowed, refusing to take his hand; who knows what the hell he planned on doing? Skyler held my hand and pulled me behind to cover me from Xander's piercing gaze, which didn't go well with Xander. His eyes got darker with the room suffocating. "Stop scaring her Xander. It's not like she hasn't told you about the divorce before." Skyler sneered. Benjamin was stunned and looked equally angry, but his anger was not focused towards Skyler. "I was not talking to you but My wife." Xander's voice was seething with anger, prominent in every word sounding like Venom. I peeked my head from behind Skyler to look at Xander's expression. The angrier he looked, the happier he made me. Skyler held my hand pro

    (Karis's pov) I froze immediately Xander hugged me while he was on his knees. "Xander kneeling won't change a thing about how much you hurt me. Why did you cancel the charges on Emma? " I asked him. It hurts to know your husband was supporting someone that hurt you. Xander never stood up for me, it was Skyler who charged Emma to court in the first place. Xander didn't answer. He was kneeling down while he hugged me. It made me wonder if he was feeling guilty. "Tell me why you chose to help another woman instead of your wife. But it's fine I never expected much from you." I tried to pry away his hand from my waist but it only tightened. " If scandals about one of our investors were to surface to the public it would affect the shares negatively." Xander finally stated his reasons that were not justifiable. He was validating business over his wife. I was not move or let myself be swayed by his words. "I am done with your excuses. There is always one excuse after a

    (Karis's pov) Xander didn't return home that night. I didn't bother to wait for him, but I was too worried to sleep. By the time I woke up in the morning, I got the message that he was travelling for a short business trip. He didn't bother informing me because he was probably still mad because of what I did, but he had no right to. For the next couple of days, I hardly left home except when I visited Bertha and my father-in-law in the hospital, and they were both recovering well. Skyler and I kept in touch the entire period to keep a record of our collaboration progress. Despite several days passing by, there was not a single word from Xander. I knew I should not be bothered but it made me worried. The only good thing that happened was that there was no sign of Emma anymore. "The moment I get home I am going to pop a bottle of wine." Bertha chimed excitedly. Today was the day she was finally cleared to be discharged. Although she would return for check-ups, it was cle

  • Escaping my heartless billionaire husband    109 - Who was Zed

    (Xander's pov) After the last argument I had with Karis, I could not bring myself to return home and face her. I knew what I did was wrong considering how Emma treated Karis. I wanted Emma to pay, but when the decision was between business and Karis, with Mum also on my neck, it was hard to decide. There was something about Karis that I really could not point my finger at that made me drawn to her. I didn't love her but I still could not let go of her. It was a crazy obsession that was eating me. Remembering how I got on my knees to beg her earlier was too absurd even for me to imagine it. After everything I doubt she trusted me. The club music was blaring loudly; after leaving the house, I went back to the office to drown myself in work until it was late at night. Luckily, the boys were hanging out in one of our spots tonight, so I decided to join in. They were having the time of their lives and flirting with some girls who threw themselves at us. Immediat

    (Xander's pov) The busy party was winding down because it was already getting to the late hours of the night. Benjamin was trying to track Rico's car; I didn't have much hope of that though. By now they must have ditched the car or given Karis to another person. ‘ Why is it that whenever I take my eyes off my little red, she gets into trouble?’ I didn't bother going back to the party but just stayed in the security room relaying instructions to my men. I had already pulled off my jacket and tie, with my sleeves folded and my top buttons undone. Knowing the potential danger Karis was in made me restless. She could be getting raped now or being shipped to God knows where. The door was pushed open, and Ethan came in, but there was no Emma. My grey eyes stormed, and before I could question him on where I was Emma, he answered me. "Miss Reynolds mysteriously disappeared from the party." He informed me, and I slammed my hand on the table, making Ethan flinch back

    (Karis's pov) There was this indescribable pain in my head. My eyes fluttered open but I found out my environs were dark. The ache in my skull would not stop. I tried to sit up but realized my entire body was limp with no sensation in my limbs, and I was lying on what seemed to be in a car booth. There was incoherent chatter from the back seat. It took a while before I got to remember everything that had happened to me. My heart started beating fast as panic watched over me. I was kidnapped. The body aches all over my body made it hard to concentrate on what they were saying but I could get snippets of the conversation. "Skyler has already been drugged so there is no way he will be able to hold himself back. This is what he gets for trying to send me to prison." I heard a voice very similar to Emma's. There was no way I could mistake her voice for another. "I didn't plan on taking drastic measures like this but Xander changed. If I am not careful he might e

    (Karis's pov) Xander went stiff when my hot lips met with his. He was not expecting me to make such a move, and neither was I, but the heat I felt inside was driving me insane. The car was extremely hot despite the air conditioning. He protested, trying to fight my lips, but I didn't let him. I bit his lower lips until they bled to allow my hot tongue to explore his mouth. Just like more aphrodisiac was injected to me the heat increased tremendously as soon as I tasted his mouth. I moaned into his mouth, I didn't care if the driver was being affected or if he could see me through the rear mirror. He better not catch a glimpse because Xander was going to rip his eyes off. Xander exercised every power in him not to return the kiss; I didn't care, though all that mattered was drowning myself in the moment as I ravaged his lips like a starving beast. He forced our lips to part. "We can't be doing this Karis. You are not yourself." He said in between groans that rev

  • Escaping my heartless billionaire husband    113 - Sweet Torture

    (Karis's pov) I continued torturing Xander the same way he has been torturing me. It was sweet torture and he was growing impatient. His member was too large for me to take in completely, and I was almost gagging my throat. I sucked, bit and twirled my tongue around like I was enjoying a lollipop making sure my actions were slow. Xander groaned and kept on cussing inaudibly for me to hear but it was working. I was driving him to the brink. I pulled away when I felt his member pulsate in my mouth and licked my lips grinning mischievous at me. "Bloody hell." I heard him curse under his breath, and then he grabbed my waist, straddling me around his waist. I had to bend my head for the car to accommodate us. Although it was a large Range Rover there was not much space for us. His hand pulled up my dress and yanked off my panties tearing it to shred. He didn't give me any warning probably lost in the moment and desperate for a release like me. Damn, my body was fuckin

    (Karis's pov) My water just broke and my stomach felt like a war was about to break out.I was leaning against the kitchen counter, one hand pressed against my lower back, the other gripping the edge of the sink. The ache in my belly was sudden and I really could not believe my water just broke. Valeria was not meant to come until 2 weeks later.Was I stressed out by seeing Xander that my water broke earlier than expected? It's been 3 days since I accidentally ran into him but it bothered me greatly. The fear of him bursting into my life and why I was unprepared was always on my mind. I was scared he would snatch away the little happiness life has given me.The clock on the wall reads 2:12 a.m., and the house is eerily quiet. I came down for a glass of water to distract myself, to move around and shake off the restlessness, but the tension in my body didn't go away. Another wave of pain grips me, stealing my breath. I double over slightly, one hand instinctively cradling my

    (Karis's pov) Someone was crying but I didn't know who it was. The halls were dark and eerie; I knew immediately this was not the mansion in Germany I was residing in but the Reynolds family House. How did I get here? I wondered as my legs walked down the silent hallway towards the source of the cries. My eyes darted around, and I could spot some old pictures of Mum and me, exactly how I remembered it to be before Miranda moved in with Emma. My legs stopped at the door the cries were coming from. It was my parent's room; I slowly pushed the door and let out a loud creaking sound that made the person crying to stop. My head peeked in and I caught sight of the Auburn head woman. "Mummy," I called out, my voice sounding like a little girl's own.Mum's auburn hair was very beautiful, and when I was little, I wished that my hair was her colour instead of Dad's chestnut hair. Her hair was reddish brown with a gold undertone. She had fragile beautiful features with a

  • Escaping my heartless billionaire husband    147 - Unexpected Encounter

    (Karis's pov) The baby store was a bit busier by the time Kyle suddenly showed up so it was easy for me to leave without him finding me. Fortunately, it was a large shop. By the time I made my way out of the store, it felt like a weight was lifted from my shoulders. A scarf was wrapped around my head and my face was covered by deep dark shades. I was making my way towards the elevator when the doors to a nearby store opened, and a large entourage came out. It was a bunch of paparazzi flashing cameras at someone in the middle of the chaos. The floor was rowdy and I could get snippets of what they were talking about. Since the exit was blocked, I had no way of leaving thanks to the large crowd. "What is going on here?" I wondered, I glanced backwards at the baby store and the doors opened. My head whipped away immediately. I noticed it was Kyle. He was already out of the shop. What was going on? Since leaving had become a bit difficult, I opted to hide among

  • Escaping my heartless billionaire husband    146 - A visit to the mall

    (Karis's pov) My mind was spaced as I glanced out the window; the car was driving the streets of Frankfurt, which was known as the financial hub of Germany. It was 8:45 am so traffic was a bit hectic since it was rush hour. Skyler also has some business here, and not so shockingly, Xander, but the chances of us running into each other were very low since this was a sizable city and the second most populous metropolitan German city. There were a lot of things going through my head. The fashion line I did with Skyler and Blue Secret was a hit, and the question was what next. I didn't want to rely on Skyler forever, and the money I transferred out of Xander's account would not sustain me forever. A baby was coming and I had to make sure she was well provided for. "We are here." I heard the driver say. My eyes were drawn from the window to Skyler who was busy on his phone. Recently, he has been super busy with business, which has been growing rapidly. He and Xander have been go

    (Karis's pov) These past few months have been a breeze so fleeting that I couldn't believe that I would be meeting her soon. Rubbing my swollen belly a soft smile was etched on my face. My tummy was so big that Skyler and I thought they were twins or triplets but it was just a fat baby girl. I have been eating so much that my baby was already very chubby even in my stomach. I could not wait to hold her in my arms and kiss her cheeks. I wondered if she would look like me or a feminine version of the devil. It was early spring, the snow had melted, and green plants were showing up. I will be having my baby in March. My pregnancy has been a bit challenging but he was by my side all the way. At times, when I think of how supportive Skyler has been, I don't have any idea how to repay him. He was always travelling to and fro to be able to keep up with his business and assist me throughout my pregnancy. Skyler never missed a check-up where the father was meant to be.

    (Xander's Pov) Life felt meaningless; Skyler was right; I killed her. After that day, I confronted him, I had investigated what happened the eve of Karis birthday between Emma and I. There were video footages from the hotel showing everything that happened in the hallway. Due to privacy issues there were no cameras in the room but from what I saw from the hallway my life was over. I had willingly followed Emma to the room, but I couldn't understand why I did something so stupid. I had ruined my marriage with my hands and my jealousy was to be blamed. If I hadn't been enraged by jealousy and stayed in the house waiting for Karis to return none of this would have happened. Karis had been at the hotel that morning with Bertha and most likely saw me in with Emma. That was what made her lose it completely. It turned out a friend of Bertha saw Emma and I leaving the club and secretly trailed behind us, that was why everything got revealed. But none of that matter

  • Escaping my heartless billionaire husband    143 - He was calling me

    (Karis's pov)Loud alarm sounds started to ring in my ears. My whole body was in pain, and I kept hearing incoherent voices like they were panicking. "The patient's condition is not stable, her heartbeat is dropping.." someone seemed to have screamed. Is this another dream? They were speaking a strange language which I recognized but was still finding it a bit difficult to translate because my head was killing me My eyes fluttered open, and I could see faces; they had face masks on, and I was being pushed somewhere. My eyes were still blurry, but this sharp pain in my head made it hard to keep it open. A lady who was wearing a different colour of scrubs grabbed my hands, she spoke English to me because she wanted to communicate with me. She probably realized I was awake. "Relax, ma'am, you are going to be fine." She assured me. I wanted to stay awake, but it was hard to stay awake; I wanted to relax like my body was tired. The dream, yes, it was Mother. Maybe if I di

    (Karis's pov) Summer, I always loved it not because of the warmth or its beauty but because of my birthday. "Karis, what are you waiting for? Your mother is waiting for you in the garden." I heard someone say and my eyes fluttered open. I was hiding behind the stairs, but what was I doing here? My eyes looked up to see a middle-aged woman dressed in former attire. I immediately recognized her “ Madam Deborah." I altered. "Yes, dear, we can't keep your mum waiting longer." Deborah stretched out her hand for me which I accepted. Deborah was my governess who retired after mum's death what was she doing here? No, rather, what was I doing here? My eyes darted around the room and immediately went wide as I recognized where this was. It was the Reynolds mansion when Mum was still alive; my eyes could spot an old picture of her hanging on the wall. "Dear child, what were you doing there?" I didn't know what I was doing there. My brain could not remember but my lips see

  • Escaping my heartless billionaire husband    141 - I Killed her

    (Xander's Pov) She was dead; no, that was not possible. I watched her sleep last night and she snuggled up to me in her sleep. I could still remember the sheepish smile I had on my face seeing her subconscious actions. The A 587 flight had crashed a few hours after take-off near the coast of Europe. The authorities were still finding the crash site, but it was bleak. The chances of surviving a plane crash were very low, and my mind could not stop wondering what had happened that made Karis so desperate to leave me that she might be dead... That entire day, I didn't get any sleep as I exhausted every resource I had to investigate the plane crash. If not for the fact mum stopped me from travelling, I would have gone myself. She was traumatized by the news of Karis probably dying and had a breakdown worse than mine. Hours ticked by and all I could do was grip her wedding rings as I started to trace everything Karis did this past week.. Benji was already looking in
