(Karis's pov)

Xander was leaning on his car with a relaxed deposition, he was casually smoking with the smoke dancing around him. He pinched the cigarette between his thumb and index finger, taking a long drag before exhaling slowly. His eyes narrowed at me with his shoulders relaxed, and for an instant, the word slowed to his pace.

He was relaxed, giving me a casual smile like what happened earlier in the car never happened. He was not even bothered by the fact Skyler hugged me in front of him.

The car park was quiet, and the gentle tapping sounds of my footsteps on the concrete floor stretched throughout the car park, worn out by tyre marks and footsteps. The scent of gasoline and oil stains waffled in the air reminding me of how dangerous Xander smoking here was.

I stopped a few steps away from him, my eyes were narrowed at him. "I was not expecting you to wait for me," I mentioned.

Xander's eyes were still on me; he was frighteningly calm, just like the calm

    (Karis's pov) Xander's audacity never fails to amaze me. The funniest part of everything was that he was not bragging it was the truth. "Because you can afford to buy whatever speeding tickets you get fined with doesn't mean you are free to drive like a maniac, this is not a freaking highway." I bashed back at him; the veins on my forehead were already twitching. "Karis stop nagging like an old granny and relax to enjoy the thrill." Xander chuckled as he overtook another car. The driver didn't like it and was screaming at him. ' God please help me. Why is this grown man behaving like a teenager?' I cried inwards. "I am not a granny but someone who values her life. Do you want me to die of a heart attack?" I barked at him, my chest was already heaving due to my unrestrained anger. "Don't worry about that; I am not a husband who will leave his wife to die on him." He chimed, his eyes were filled with excitement. I scoffed at him, he was the reason I di

    (Karis's pov) Luckily, Xander finally listened to me and stopped speeding out the rest way back home. By the time we got back home, the sky was already dark. John welcomed us back; Xander invited John to his study to discuss some matters unknown to me while I went back to the bedroom. I had a hunch they were talking about the fiasco Skyler caused this morning. Xander's meeting with John took longer than expected; I later found out his assistant was called over, and they were discussing something very important. I didn't bother myself to know about whatever they were talking about because it had nothing to do with me. For the first time in forever, I enjoyed a peaceful meal without Xander. After dinner, I went to get ready for the night and started to sketch down some jewellery designs inspirations I got from the Blue's Secret fashion show, but it was hard to concentrate because my mind kept on thinking about Bertha's condition. "Ahhhh," a groan left my lips as I pulled

    (Karis's pov) That night Xander didn't return to the room until I fell asleep. He worked the entire night. I was sleeping comfortably snuggling on a pillow. It was so comfortable but it was warm and not fuzzy. I snuggled closer into a tight cuddle to enjoy the warm feeling. It was one of the best sleep I had, but the faint rays of the sun had to interrupt this perfect sleep. ' Why does this pillow feel a bit hard?' I asked myself, confused while I was half asleep. Warm breath fanned across my face and my eyes immediately popped out to see the comfy pillow I was snuggling all night was a grown man. I jerked off from the bed falling with my butt on the floor. When did Xander get back to the room? How did I end up hugging him in my sleep? The loud sound of me falling off the bed woke Xander up, and he slowly sat up on the bed, resting his back on the bed headrest. "Why the hell do you have to be so loud in the morning?" He cussed rubbing his forehead. He looked

    (Karis's pov) "Ahhhhh," I yelped trying to scout away from Xander. To say I was embarrassed is an understatement. "Xander, for goodness sake, try to be loud when you walk." I made up an excuse for what happened. His hand was still in my hair. Xander bent down to my level with a smirk on his face. "There is no need to be shy trust me you will love the feeling of my dick in your mouth." He teased me. My jaw dropped at his unfiltered words; after recovering from the shock, I waved off his hand. "I will never want your dick in my mouth Xander." I scoffed at him. "We would see about that." He smiled at me before getting up, and then he headed to the walk-in closet. My eyes subconsciously followed him. If Xander had turned back he would have caught me drooling. Why was heaven unfair? Xander was the Pinnacle of perfection when it comes to looks and wealth. It was not hard to see why other girls fell effortlessly for him. Xander pulled off the towel exposing his butt from

    (Karis's pov) My throat went dry, aroused by his words alone. Yes, there was this desire in me craving for his touch I should loathe, but to say I needed him was something I didn't know. My face flushed again, how did he know I was thinking about him in the shower? My face gave me away because Xander's smile widened. Damn, his smile made my legs weak. I could not even deny the claims. "So I was right, so what exactly were you thinking about me? Were you fantasizing about all the things you wished we could do, but you are too stubborn to admit?" Xander continued teasing me without giving me a break. "I was not fantasizing about you. Stop having silly ideas in your head." I argued back but my blushing cheeks gave me out. I was a bad liar and my treacherous body was not helping things. "Then why are your cheeks so red, Karis? You were never a good liar. I can sense your arousal from here." Xander arched his brows at me. It was hard to believe his words because he

    (Karis's pov) I nervously bit my lips not expecting to be caught by Xander. He narrowed his eyes at me and then scoffed as he walked past. A breath of relief left my lips seeing he was not going to say anything about me eavesdropping. "Are you going to sit there all night? We have a flight to catch." Xander mentioned glancing over his shoulders. He didn't even bother to give me a helping hand. I got on my feet and dusted the invincible speck of dust on my butts. "Next time you want to eavesdrop don't stay close to the door." I heard him say before he left through the door. The car was already waiting for us outside; I wondered how long Sam had waited for us to get ready because he had been on standby the entire time. He was already looking tired but he gave me a polite smile when I arrived. Sam opened the door for me to get into the back seat. Xander was already inside, leaning against the headrest. It seems whatever he spoke about with Emma really got on his nerves.

    (Karis's pov) I was left speechless after the kiss. My eyes caught sight of the hostess, who was stunned by Xander's actions. "If you don't know how to dress properly don't bother showing in front of me. It seems you don't love your job." Xander said out loud for the hostess to hear. He didn't even bother to glance at her like she was not worth his gaze. The hostess's face went pale. "I am sorry about that." She quickly apologized and then adjusted her clothes immediately. Xander's face was still close to mine. I placed my palm in front of his face to shove him away. He grabbed my hand and it before linking his fingers with mine. "Get your face away from my face," I grunted, not liking how close he was. His warm breath was fanning across my face, leaving a tingling feeling. Xander grinned, then brought my hand to his lips before leaving a kiss on it. "You don't like me looking at other women, so I am giving you all my attention, dear wifey. I am all yours." Xand

    (Karis's pov) I was expecting we would be staying at a five-star hotel or something of that sort. It was beyond my expectations Xander planned on staying in a luxurious modern Villa. To maintain one of these must cost around £200000. It couldn't be a rental, considering how proud Xander was. "It's fine since it is my wife," Xander replied then stepped out of the car. He buttoned some of his loose suit buttons before offering his hand to me. I accepted it. There was no need to reject it since we called a truce after he accepted the open marriage agreement. My eyes sparkled seeing the villa I would describe as elegant in Chelsea since it was located in the Chelsea neighbourhood. The average cost of a villa here was around £2.8 million. "Welcome Sir and Madam." A middle-aged woman with a British accent in the London dialect welcomes us. "Hi, Mercy. How have you been?" Xander surprisingly replied to the housekeeper. Mercy smiled at Xander and then replied. "I

    (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) 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) I stayed in my room the entire evening avoiding anything that would make me see Emma. It was better to avoid useless fights. I spent my time looking into some of my Father's businesses and particularly mum's investment. It didn't come as a surprise that most of my mother's shops were managed by Emma and Miranda. How was I able to look past this fact in my past life? There was a knocking sound on the door. "Good evening ma'am. May I come in?" It was Deborah. I allowed her to enter the room. Soon the brunette dressed in a maid outfit entered the room. Her hands were clammy, she was nervous for an unknown reason. "Are you alright?" I asked her purely out of concern. She quickly straightened up and then cleared her throat. "Sorry if my behaviour was off. I am here to invite you for dinner. Mr De Marco is expecting you since you have been indoors all day." So he missed his little wife he loves bullying. I scoffed. "Is Emma still around?" I asked strai

    (Karis's pov) I thought the madness ended that unfortunate night but I had no idea what was waiting for me online. The next morning the entire X was flooded with images of Skyler and me together. There was this particular one that seemed like we were kissing. Who had taken these pictures I wondered? It kept me on my toes the entire day. Xander was pissed, that was one thing for sure. I didn't even catch a glimpse of him when I got out of bed this morning which was great. It would only remind me of my shamelessness. As he had promised, I was indeed prohibited from leaving the estate without protection, he said, but it seemed more like he was caging me. My hands clenched to the side when I saw Xander's car drive into the estate. I was peeking through the window of my bedroom. Xander got out of the car, and his eyes were drawn to my direction as if he sensed my gaze. I was unsure if he saw me or if he was just glancing at the prison cell where he kept his wife. Xander averte

    **** Trigger notice dark scenes ahead**** (Karis's pov) The mansion was dark because it was probably very late in the night; flashes of lights showed around whenever lightning struck the sky. It was very eerie, and I was being trapped by a devil, but yet I felt excited about a very strange reason. Yes, I had lost my nuts at that point. My plans during this second chance were to push Xander to the edge, but seeing how he reacted concerning Skyler, struck terror in me. "This is absurd. You can't force me to stay with you, Xander. Why are you so adamant about tormenting yourself with my presence when you can have Emma or even Benita?" My voice came out sharply at first but broke into a cry. My emotions were a mess as a mixture of terror and excitement ran through my veins. "As much as I love hearing your voice, dear wifey, I love it better when you don't talk. You just love pushing my buttons. Don't you?" He said, wiping my tears away with his thumb; he then reached out to kiss

    *** Trigger notice, dark scenes ahead****(Karis's pov) I was shaken to the core; in front of his large frame in the middle of nowhere, I felt so vulnerable. I hated this feeling more than anything in the world, but in front of him, I felt powerless. I was not weak by any means, but I was never given the chance to grow. My second chance was for me to grow and get back at them, but his very existence was my curse that made all my efforts seem useless. Xander was just too powerful, and the worst thing was that my body was drawn to him. I should hate him, but there was a part of me that couldn't hate him. Xander's hand was still on my mouth, stopping me from talking further. He crooked his face on my hair. My hands pressed against his chest to push him away, but he was an immovable wall. The sky rumbled, followed by the bright lighting flash that made Xander look more intimidating. I was trying my best not to fall on my knee. " Why do you keep on lying to yours

    ****Trigger warning, you can skip this chapter. The scenes might seem dark to some readers****(Karis's pov) Xander became creative with his punishments, but I had no idea why I was being punished. The pit pattern sound of raindrops on the soil echoed throughout the woods. It was dark, and I was lost in the woods. This was an acre of land that had been passed down for generations. I was always scared of this area, so I had never ventured into the woods. Chills and shivers crept up my skin; my entire body was soaked with my clothes clinging to my body. I could not run any deeper into the woods because I had no idea what might be hiding in the eerie place. My heart was beating fast, thudding in my chest with my breath haggard. A twig snapped close to me, and my eyes shot out. He was close. I pressed my body close to the tree trunk hoping he would walk by because running would expose my location. Xander's movements were nibbled and cautious. He was like a

    (Karis's pov) The entire ride back home I had this feeling something was off. My mind was plagued by a lot of thought at the moment, making it hard to figure out what the problem was. I packed my car in front of the house and gave the keys to Sam to pack it properly. Immediately, I alighted from the car; a piercing gaze was locked on me, which gave me goosebumps. My eyes glanced up in a particular direction and it caught the sight of a tall figure blended in the darkness dressed in all black. I recognized it to be Xander immediately; he was standing on the balcony that led to our room smoking. The lit cigarette was between his lips while his hand held a glass containing alcohol.' was he waiting for me?' I swallowed hard because fear twisted my stomach for a strange reason it seemed Xander was mad at me. This was the second time, I had seen Xander smoke, he was not a chain smoker and I had a gut feeling he only smokes when he is pissed off. His eyes briefly lo

    (Xander's pov) This week has been hectic, all thanks to an annoying fly who I have been trying my best not to snap his neck. Skyler has been trying to poach my partners and future deals. I didn't take him seriously at first because most of those deals didn't affect me much, and I didn't feel the need to fight after a couple of irrelevant people that don't understand the meaning of loyalty. Whenever he poaches one, there is always a replacement ready, but his games have started to get more annoying. I was also occupied with figuring out how the hell my father got poisoned amidst all this chaos. It was hard to pin the blame on anyone because the De Marco name has its fair share of enemies. The board room was in chaos. Most of the shareholders and top managers were quite disturbed about the threat of the Crest conglomerate, but I wasn't bothered. No matter how they fuzz about it, I controlled over 80 per cent of the shares, holding the absolute deciding power, so in the end, e
