(Karis's pov)

My jaw dropped. I had never expected Xander to be such a narcissist. It was beyond my expectations.

"I can't stand your level of narcissism anymore. " I shook my head, this was too much to handle. If not for his similar touch, I would have been more than convinced that my husband had a secret twin, who I had no idea of and had swapped places with.

This was different from my rigid indifferent husband I adored like a good man.

"But you can't deny the fact that I am good-looking," Xander said, grinning at me.

I later found out from Xander that Benjamin's name was Benjamin Meadows; he was of both British nobility and old money. They both met at the university. Oxford University to be precise. After the Meadows siblings left I managed to finish my breakfast.

I was not in the mood to talk but Xander was in a suspiciously good mood. After breakfast, I insisted on heading back to the villa, not in the mood for sightseeing anymore.

    (Karis's pov)My head jerked behind me to see Xander behind me. His eyes were cold; it was hard to know if he was mad because I picked up his call or the fact Emma was calling him. Then it hit me he had already unblocked her number but what did I expect? Of course, he did; he can't be away from his lover for too long. He placed the call on loudspeaker, then handed over the bottle of water to me. "Karis, why are you with Xander's phone?" Emma asked over the phone. Her cheesy voice sounded surprised, "How many times do I have to warn you not to call me outside work hours unless it is important?" Xander cold voice cuts her. "Xander?" Emma gasped, surprised, "Why did you let Karis pick up your call?" She questioned him. My eyes narrowed at Xander, his lover was probably surprised I picked up his phone call. "What do you expect when you are calling a married man by this time of the day?!" Xander shot at her and she went silent. "I wanted.." she tried to defend herself,

    (Karis's pov) His gaze could see right through my clothes despite the fact I wore an oversized T-shirt. " I don't want to learn how to kiss from you," I argued back, shooting a glare at him. "Are you sure about that little red? Your face is so red, I am sure your slutty mind has envisioned this a million times." Xander jeered at me, it was hard to look at his hungry eyes because it was also turning me on as I slowly craved for him. Little Red, of all the nicknames he has given me, this was the most annoying one ever. I averted my eyes, trying to look sideways, and then my eyes went wide like saucers. My face and ears were so red there was no way I could hide it from Xander. His eyes followed my line of sight, and a dirty smirk got on his face, seeing the reason why I was so embarrassed. The TV was still on, and there was a fierce make-out scene playing. Why did it have to get to this part of the movie now of all times? Xander nibbled on my neck, he had dev

    (Karis's pov) I didn't want to go to the party Benjamin had mentioned earlier, but after some consideration, my curiosity won because I was curious about what kind of parties Xander was into. The sky was already dark by the time we wanted to set out; Xander was dressed in all-black attire, from his black sneakers to his black leather jacket combined with his raven black hair. I wore dark blue jeans with a red crop top I covered with a large bomber, jacket. I didn't want to match with Xander in any way. He left me in the bedroom to bring out our ride from the garage. The loud roaring sounds of the engine made me wonder what car he was taking out. After I was done with my outfit, and the final look was satisfactory, I took a picture and posted it on my IG story. Grabbing my purse, I made my way to the front entrance, and my jaw instantly dropped. Xander was sitting on a 2022 Honda Fireblade power bike, wearing a black helmet. I didn't know it was a biker party we

    (Karis's pov) Benita gritted her teeth at Xander's degrading statement. I am sure she wanted to show off to Xander but she never expected he would not even glance at her. "Xander," she called out and his eyes darkened as he glanced in her direction. "Did you see my race?" She asked him immediately she got his attention. "It was nothing special after all these years your racing skills are passable." Xander deadpanned. He grabbed my hand, ignoring Benita, who was hurt by his harsh words. "Do you want to get closer to the water?" He asked me. My eyes glanced towards Benita and I felt sorry for her. All she wanted was to catch the attention of her crush; it reminded me of the time I used to chase after Xander. "Since you are a better racer, why don't you hit the tracks yourself." Benita challenged Xander, but he ignored him, dragging me towards the water until a familiar baritone voice stopped him. The sand sunk under my feet giving me a secret urge to run bare foot

    (Karis's pov) The bikes speed off, racing down the road until they disappear from my sight. So far it was a strong tie. After Xander was gone, I was a bit lonely since I didn't know anyone there except Benita, who ignored my existence. My eyes darted around the crowd, seeing how everyone was having a good time until it fell on a bar arranged at the side of the beach. I made my way there to get a drink. I sat on the bar stool, and the bartender greeted me. "Hi darling what do you want me to get for you?" The bartender flashed me a smile. He was a looker, although not up to Xander's level, he was still a refreshing see with his ash-blonde hair and greenish-grey eyes. He was wearing a floral vintage shirt he left the buttons undone from what I could see from in front of the counter. "I don't know, surprise me," I replied, flashing him a smile. "Alright there I know something you will love." He chimed back at me. He went straight into mixing the drinks. My eyes went

    (Xander's POV) I didn't want to race with Skyler or even be here in the same place; it all reminded me of a past I wanted to forget. Karis was as clueless as ever; she didn't even realize she was being used when she went along with Skyler. It increased my urge to take her far away and hide her from all these people who wanted to use her naivety. It had been a while since I raced, so it took sometime before I had a kick of it. By then, Skyler was already in the lead, second to Benjamin. Using all the skills I gathered over the years, I was able to make a last-minute break with a grand entrance. After getting to the finish line the first thing my eyes did was to search for Karis in this crowd. . My eyes were drawn to her chestnut hair, and a smile graced my lips, which I was sure she didn't see because of the helmet that was still on my head. Karis sluggishly made her way to the front, and then it came to my observation that her cheeks were flushed. It seeme

    (Xander's pov) My clothes were ruined by Karis's vomit; she was completely drunk. "Ewww, it's disgusting." Her face grimaced. We were both covered in her vomit. Karis started pulling off her clothes without any warning until she was done with the last piece. My throat went dry as I watched her, my eyes could not look away even for a single second. Damn, she was hot. She was carelessly shedding her clothes, not having any idea what her actions were doing to me. Lately, her little actions have been tempting me as the lust I feel for her becomes deeper every single second. A frustrated groan left my lips as the temptation to slam her on the bed and ravage her body was getting more unbearable with every passing second. I had to leave now. If not, I might not be able to hold it. My hands raked through my hair; I turned to leave the room but stopped in my tracks when I felt someone tug my jacket. My eyes darted to behind me to see Karis pouting her lips, and her doe eyes

    (Xander's pov) Karis brazenly instructed me to bathe her; I was sure her naive drunk mind didn't know what that meant. My eyes scanned her seductive body with every inch perfectly created and curved. Karis had everything to make any straight man lose his mind, I thought that what made me drawn to her was the urge to domesticate her when she acts feisty, but even when she was like a clueless bunny, I was still fucking drawn to her. "Are you sure about that ?" I asked her and she nodded fervently. "I helped you clean up your body it is the least you should do." She bravely demanded biting her lips. Her doe eyes were teary seeming like she would cry if I refused. "Since that is what my dear wife wants." I chimed at her. Karis loves using soft sponges to bathe instead of her bare hands. It was a piece of information she told me long ago during the time she used to pester me. I grabbed the shampoo first to wash her hair. Despite all the sly thoughts in my head, I pushed

    CHAPTER FOUR - THE ROMANOV BROTHERSADELINA'S POV I was completely blown out of my mind when I heard him. Mikhail Romanov was a mystery to me. A seasoned businessman who suddenly popped out of nowhere and stormed the entire business world. There was very little about him online but there were rumours of how ruthless he was when taking out his competition and how much underground connection he has. When I said I was ready to do anything in my mind, the most degrading thing that crossed my mind was to be his servant at his mercy, but it never crossed my mind he would tell me to strip in a public event. I bit my lower lip in between my teeth, not only because of how nervous I felt in his presence but also thanks to the Bullet wound in my arm. "You must be joking, that can't be a request." I blurted. Thinking he would laugh out, saying it was a joke, but he didn't budge one bit. He stood tall with his hand in his pocket and his eyes keenly observing me. His lips p

Twirling the wine glass in between my fingers, my eyes glanced around the hall, looking for anything that could pique my interest. "What do you think about the corporation? Mr Romanov." An annoying voice chattered in my ears. I glanced at the middle-aged man who had been trying his best to strike a deal with me, but it was not a profitable venture. "I will think about it." I politely declined, even though we both knew I was not going to give him a second thought. How boring? A sigh left my lips for the hundredth time today. I was bored out of my mind. Maybe I should have attended the wedding even though my beloved brother didn't invite me. It would be fun to see the unfortunate human he tricked into marrying him. The unfortunate soul I would have t

Sitting in a white pool lace of my long princess wedding dress, my face was pale, and I froze. "Papa," I said again but it came out like a whimper this time around. The flower bouquet in my hand was on the floor. I grabbed my face with both hands, shaking my head over and over again, thinking it was a nightmare, but it was real. All that was on my mind was to reach my father's side, but Viktor had other plans. He firmly held my arm. "Where are you going, Mrs Romanov ?" He asked me. I did not care about that title. All I wanted was to run to my father's side. Why did Viktor shoot Dad? We were his allies. No matter how I think of it, my head could not think of a reason why. "This is a wedding present from me to you." He grinned at me. Everyone was in shock because of the sudden gunfire. Soon, it sank into my father's men's heads that thei

I had never felt this genuinely happy in my life before, despite all the resistance of us being from rival mobs. Finally, I was getting married to Viktor, the Mafia boss of a rival Russian mob today. Although my marriage was not purely based on love, the main goal was to join two of the biggest Mafia underground associations. My fiance, Viktor, owned one of the richest and most dangerous Russian mobs; my father agreed to this marriage to seek his protection as our group, despite its large size, is nothing compared to Viktor's association.

    (Xander's pov) The soft sound of running water echoed from the bathroom; I pushed the door open entering the bathroom filled with steam with a thick scent of Lavender oils. It smelled like heaven, my little heaven. I got rid of the towel wrapped around my waist and then brushed my hand through my hair before my eyes drew to the glass walls of the shower. A silly grin graced my lips as I made my way towards the shower, where I could see Karis's figure from the glass taking a shower. I couldn't help but smile wider; I slowly walked towards the shower, the only place where I was sure the children wouldn't disturb us because Xavier sometimes cries to sleep with his mother. My life was pitiful, fighting with my children over my wife's time and attention; maybe we should have stopped with the twins. I stopped in the shower; Karis's back relaxed, sensing my presence. "I thought you weren't coming," she said, rubbing her hair with her back against me. "So you were expecting me." I c

    (Xander's pov) SIX YEARS LATER The cool spring breeze blew, carrying a little scent on wet soil. It was another spring again and 15 years after Alessia left this world. I placed a bouquet of flowers on her tombstone, along with several others, which have been kept here. A lot has happened these past years, and I have been so busy I barely had time to visit Alessia aside from her death anniversary. Karis and I are hosting a small get-together to celebrate. Mum and Dad loved the idea of getting old friends and family together. "Alessia, it's been a while, and we all miss you, but you are in a better place now..." I started my one-sided dialogue with my sister. I had a feeling she was listening. Honestly, everyone was fine these past years, at least from what they told me. Skyler was getting better. At least he wasn't hallucinating again, but his condition was permanent. Either way, he was doomed; he deserved it. It was crazy, but I think I am ready to forgive

    (Karis's pov) " So he planned everything before you even knew you were pregnant. He knew and understood the danger it would put you in. There was no way he could hurt the child you have been looking forward to, a baby he secretly wished for, so he planned everything..." " Have you ever wondered why he hid the affair until that day? His plan was to make you divorce him and heartlessly take the child away from his messed up life. You deserved better and still do. But I can't imagine living a life without you. That's why I am sorry for his insensitive actions." So that was the truth, it was crazy but I chose to believe him more like I didn't care anymore. I got a redo, and this time, none of those things happened. Xander never cheated even when he was hypnotized. "It is fine, Xander; I really don't care. It never happened to us, but to them, and if you could never bring yourself to have sex with Emma when she was carrying the illusion of being me, I can't possibly se

    (Karis's pov) The heartbeat slowed down and dropped to my stomach. I felt emotions and I didn't understand happiness and dread. I was happy that the man I loved was back but dreaded it because it felt like the old Xander. "You remember everything," I muttered, and I felt Xander stiffen his hold. "I am sorry that Xander was a jerk, but he did not mean to break you that way," Xander muttered his words, swallowing. My jaw clenched, "Xander, let go," I stated, but he only held on tightly. "If you don't let go it will only make things worse. I promise I am not running unless it's to you." Those words seemed to have worked because his hold relaxed. I took a step back to look clearly at him; he truly looked sorry. This was the Xander I had known for four years and not the jerk who cheated with Emma, yet there was this fury that bloomed in my heart. Next, the sound of skin striking against each other echoed in the room; Xander was stunned as he gazed back at me; conf

    (Karis's pov) Time seemed to have ticked by slowly every minute took forever. I was sitting in the waiting area with my hands still covered in Xander's blood. I was too anxious to even get cleaned. Xander was in surgery already, and Ivan kept on assuring me that everything would be fine. I also hoped the same thing, but I would have felt more assured if Kyle was here. Although he was an annoying prick, Kyle was, without a doubt, a genius doctor. "Mummy," I heard childish voices call out, slicing through the tension. I glanced at the direction of the voice and a soft smile crossed my lips when I saw Val and Vance running towards my direction with Camilla following behind. They ran into my open arms, and I embraced them, feeling at home. "Where is Kyle?" Ivan asked instead. "I ran into him and the twins while heading for the emergency ward. He had to leave to prepare for the surgery. It seems things are a bit complicated." Camilla said, sounding exhausted; I
