(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
(Karis's pov) I snuggled closer to the warmth around me trying to sleep longer. The sun rays poking through the closed window blinds fell on my eyes, irritating me. My eyes slowly fluttered open, my head was fuzzy, and I was dazed, trying to understand what was happening around me. I felt a hold on my waist, and then I glanced up to see Xander peacefully asleep beside me, and I was snuggling close to him. I quickly released my hand and tried to scout away, but his grip on my waist was firm. "Can you stop moving? I am trying to sleep. You didn't let me have any sleep last night." Xander whined pulling me closer against his bare chest. I stared at his body and realized he had only joggers below while I had an oversized hoodie on which was matching his joggers. My eyes went wide, Xander had undressed me yesterday. 'what the hell happened? Why can't I remember a thing?' I cried inwards trying to rake my brains for answers. Being so close to Xander's bare ches
(Karis's pov) At first sight, I generated a dislike for the Moller couple. They made me feel at first sight like I was not wanted; Mrs Moller verbally expressed how she was expecting Emma. Maybe if I had made more efforts to pay attention to Xander's business, I could have saved our marriage. Instead, I let him spend time with his mistress, unknowingly. Either way, that's all in the past. I can't cry over spilt milk. "I was at the wedding; it is an honour to finally meet Mrs De Marco. You left on short notice during the reception." Mrs Moller chimed with a polite smile which I returned. "Xander was impatient, so we had to leave early." I chirped in. The Moller couple gave us a looking gaze probably thinking that Xander and I had a wild wedding night only if they knew that I cried myself to sleep. "You guys still have that fresh loving gaze. It must be good to be in love." Mr Moller mentioned with a slight smile, thanks to Xander, who kept glancing at me with a tender gaze tha
(Karis's POV) Xander gave me an accusatory look as he entered the room. "What made you so red, little red?" He asked me using that annoying nickname. I ignored him and peeked outside to check if there was any sign of Emma but the coast was clear. ' Where did that vixen go to?' I wondered with my brows furrowed. "What are you searching for?" The devil whispered into the shell of my ear. His breath was fanning my ear giving me a tingling feeling on my ear. I jolted due to shock and ended up slamming against Xander's chest I didn't expect him to be so close to me. "Why are you acting so jumpy?" He asked me. His arms naturally wrapped around me to steady my step. "Why were you so freaking close? My heart almost jumped out of my chest." I snapped, trying to catch my breath. Xander stepped back to have a proper view of me. His eyes were prying, trying to understand what was going on. He opened his mouth to talk but was interrupted by the doorbell. Xander opened the d
(Karis's pov) Xander was out all afternoon and finally arrived in the evening looking very worn out. My eyes were drawn from my tablet where I was working on some drawings I scanned to my tablet to enhance it with colouring to the door that creaked open. Xander took a Key card the last time he left, so there was no need for him to knock. The door beeped open and his tall figure stepped in. "Welcome back, how was the meeting? You look like shit right now." I chimed seeing how he appeared. He was super tired. It made me wonder what the meeting was about. "The meeting was okay just that I ran into someone annoying." Xander sighed. Pulling off his jacket, he tossed it on a seat before walking to an ice bucket where a bottle of wine was. "Someone annoys you? So I am not the only one who can piss you off." I chuckled at Xander and he just rolled his eyes. Xander loosened his tie and undid some of the buttons, exposing a peek of his chest that was enticing to loo
(Karis's pov) It felt as if a spell was cast on me, I could not look away from him even though I wanted to. He asked me how it felt to touch him. Truth be told, it felt heavenly to feel his body under my palm. "You said you would make me crawl back to you, but you are the one seducing me now, Xander. Are you that desperate to get your dick in my pussy?" I sneered at him with a smirk on my lips. "I didn't say I won't seduce you, little red; you want me badly, but why won't you admit it? All you have to do is pull off my belt and say the words." He placed my hand on his belt buckle, his grey eyes were still locked on my hazel ones. It felt like if he looked away for a second, the spell he had on me would be broken. I took in a deep breath as my eyes glanced down at his trousers; I could see his hardness through the trousers. My hand left his buckle and crept around his waist to his back tracing the outline of his tattoos I always wanted to do. Since this was a rare chan
(Karis's pov) My throat was dry and my pussy was so damn wet my juices kept on pouring out. This was the most erotic scene of Xander I had seen. The way he stroked himself made me envision his large shaft grinding against my folds and hitting all my spots. How nice would that be? I licked my lips my eyes were still on him. Xander rinsed off, then walked out of the shower butt naked with the only towel he had on his hair as he slowly dried his dark locks of hair. He stood in front of me, and my eyes slowly moved from his member which was now limped to his face. It was stoic but his gaze stole my breath away. The amount of thick desire he had in his eyes was unimaginable. Was his desire for me so great it seemed like he was suffering because of me? What was wrong with me? I kept on seeing things like I was the one making him suffer when he was the one driving me crazy. After staring at me for a bit, he walked off, not saying a thing about what I just witnessed. My ey
(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
(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
(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
(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
(Xander's Pov) Smile. That was what Father whispered into my ears when he shook my hand as camera lights flashed on us. I should be happy that the entire De Marco business empire was under my absolute control, but yet there was this hollow feeling in my heart I could not ignore. She left; I don't know why, but after my eyes caught sight of Karis sneaking off when her guards were distracted, it felt like a piece of my heart was taken away. I wanted to go after her or at least warn the guards she was gone, but the annoying paparazzi kept asking annoying questions about Karis's infidelity. Luckily, Ethan sensed my distress, and I was able to send a message to him, but since then, there has been no news from him. Dad and I were still standing in front of the crowd as the camera continued flashing lights at us. I tried my best to smile like my father said I should but my face just couldn't smile. My entire life, my mum taught me how to smile in front of the came
(Karis's pov) The clouds suddenly darkened, and a storm started, just like what happened in my past life; this flight had mistakenly gotten on a different route and ran into a storm that struck it from the skies. It made major headlines and I was crying the entire day in my room because Xander had travelled to Germany that day. I was scared that his jet had gotten involved in the same storm, but luckily, he didn't leave that day again. From outside the window, I could see thick clouds with lightning flashing in them. An ominous feeling was already hanging over my shoulders. The pilot's voice in the intercom tried to assure the passengers that everything was fine, but it was hard to fool people when we could see with our eyes that we were in trouble. "Please try to stay in your seat. Everything will be alright." The air hostess tried to get everyone to relax and stay in their seats. The plane shook again, and my hands clutched the bag as terror struck me. A scream rang from
