Giselle was dumbfounded at the sight of Xavier in his car, asking her to get in.Wait, did he really just... is he actually here? She asked internally. "Come on, shawty!" the men called, making her look their way. They were waving at her."Are you coming in or not?" Xavier asked.She quickly ran toward the passenger seat, opened the door, and entered.He started the car and drove away.Giselle let out a breath she didn't know she was holding.Her heart raced as the car moved.She couldn't believe she was in Xavier’s car. He actually came out for her.Is this real?This is real.She was actually in his car.He came out for her!Does this mean he cares about her?She looked at him.He was focused on the road.She withdrew her eyes from him, her heart still racing. It did mean that he cared about her.I mean, what other explanation could there be?She fiddled with her fingers as her heart kept twirling in excitement.She dropped her gaze on her bag. She should thank him.She should.He

Giselle nodded. "Your boss dropped you?!" Blaire exclaimed. Giselle nodded again. "Yes." "Why? What happened to his anger and hatred towards you?" she asked. "I am as surprised as you are. But he said that if anything happens to me, it will be on his company. He doesn't want that. He didn't do it for me," Giselle replied. Blaire scoffed. "Yeah right. Giselle, your ex-husband still cares about you." Giselle shook her head. "I don't think so. What he said was a solid reason. He doesn't care about me." "But hold on, he knows where you live now?" Blaire pressed. Giselle shook her head, making Blaire furrow her brows. "I knew the kids would be on the balcony, so I made him drop me at the last building." "Wow. That's clever. Trust me, Archie would surely call after you if you had dropped here," Blaire said. "You’re talking as if I don't know my kids," Giselle replied. Blaire chuckled. "I couldn't risk it. I had to take him down there," Giselle said, removing the band from her ha

Cameron was Giselle's best friend.Giselle can’t believe Cameron is right in front of her.And she looked very different and beautiful.And in a lab coat.She had succeeded in becoming a doctor.Oh my gosh.Giselle couldn't stop staring at her. Cameron was staring back, but in a strange way.Wasn't she happy to see her?Rob pinched Giselle lightly, making her look at him. He moved his eyes, signaling her to pay attention.Giselle noticed everyone looking at her, including Xavier. She realized that she had just interrupted rudely.Oh gosh.Xavier scoffed.Giselle dropped her gaze."Forgive the insolence of my pathetic personal assistant, Mr. Vincent," Xavier said, making her clench the file and fight herself internally.She had gotten carried away."It is okay, Mr. Sheffield. I understand how incompetent employees can be," Mr. Vincent replied.Giselle sighed softly.Xavier let out a chuckle. "I am glad you do. This way, please." He led the way to what she thought was the meeting hall.

God, I am pregnant," Giselle thought as she stared at the pregnancy test in her hands. She couldn't believe she was a month pregnant. Her phone rang, making her flinch as she picked it up. It was Cameron.She was about to take the call when the door opened, revealing Xavier. She got to her feet, her heart sinking as she stared at him. He wore an unhappy expression but looked at her as he approached."Hey, honey," she said, forcing a smile. He looked away from her and sat on the sofa. Giselle fiddled with her fingers as she sat next to him nervously. He placed his hand on his temple, resting his elbow on the sofa arm. "Honey?" He didn't respond, continuing to look everywhere but at her."What is wrong?" she asked, her voice almost breaking. His eyes moved to her. She gulped. His gaze rested on her. Her hands became sweaty as she dropped her gaze. "Giselle," he called, prompting her to look at him. He was looking at her."Yes?" "I want a divorce." She froze."Wha...what?

"No," she cried, going down on her knees."You never deserved my mother's ring. I regret ever giving it to you," he said.She felt stinging daggers in her heart as she watched him stare at the ring.He was really serious about this.He really wanted to divorce her.He just took off the ring he gave her.The ring that came with the vows he said to her.Oh God."Now, get your slutty self up, and get the hell out of my house. Leave while I am still holding down my rage. You wouldn't like what I would do to you when I come back to this house and find you here," he said, walking past her and heading towards the door. He walked out and slammed the door hard.She flinched.Oh God.How did this happen?Why was this happening to her?Why?!The pictures took her attention. She picked one up and felt ashamed of herself staring at it.It was so awful.She couldn't even see the random man's face clearly. His face was blurred. Only hers was clear.Someone did this to her.It was a setup.She was se

Your real parents were deranged people. They were miserable drunkards, and they are dead!" Nina spat.Giselle's heart dropped.She let out a breathless scoff."You are not a Dawson. Your name is Giselle Harrison. You don't share even a drop of our blood."Tears rolled down her cheeks."That explains your ridiculous behavior. A Dawson cannot bring shame to the family like you brought to yours. You are nothing but a dirty, filthy cheap whore!""Nina!" Terry interjected."What?!" she snapped at him.Giselle looked at him, her voice trembling. "Dad, is...is this true?""He is not your dad," Nina replied sharply.Giselle's heart ached painfully as she maintained her gaze on her father.He heaved a sigh, the expression on his face confirming Nina's words. They were not her parents.Giselle let out a breathless scoff of disbelief. Her heart felt weak."I am sorry, Giselle. But it is the truth. You are not our daughter," he said, causing her to place a hand on her chest as more tears poured f

FIVE YEARS LATER "Give me my pencil, Archie!""I don't have your pencil, Ayla. Stop accusing me wrongly.""I saw you going through my bag.""Liar!""Mum!"Giselle heaved a sigh as she walked out of the kitchen with the little towel she was using to wipe her hands."What is going on?" she asked as she picked up Archie's school bag and zipped it up."Archie took my pencil," Ayla cried."She is lying," Archie defended."I saw you going through my bag!" she yelled."Liar!""Enough, please. Ayla, I will buy you a new pencil," Giselle said, taking a seat on the only sofa in their room and helping Archie wear his bag."Me too, Mum," Archie said."You have your own!" Ayla snapped."Ayla, stop yelling at your brother," Giselle cautioned.She dropped her gaze. "Sorry, Mum."Giselle sighed as she brought Ayla closer and helped her with her bag. They were both in their uniforms, ready for school, and they were already late.Giselle was late as well for her job."No yelling. I am older than you,"

Xavier was focused on the file in his hands.This was real. Giselle thought."Oh, good day, Sir," Rob said, standing to his feet.Sir? Giselle thought.She looked back at Xavier. He hadn't noticed her yet; he was still busy with the file. She stood slowly, scanning his appearance. He was dressed in a very expensive blue suit, looking very different and...And more handsome."Hello, Rob," he said.A lump formed in Giselle’s throat at the sound of his voice."How was your night?" he asked."Awesome, sir. The interview started a few minutes ago," Rob replied, which made Xavier look up from his file. His eyes first went to Rob and then at Giselle.His face twitched.It was really him."Xavier," she called, staring at him with emotions in her eyes."What the hell?" he said, scowling at her.Her heart raced."What is this whore doing here?" he asked Rob, without looking away from her.A sting shot through her heart."Um... She is one of the many who came for the interview, sir," Rob stutter

Giselle’s heart skipped a beat at the sound of the loud thud on the table, and she jumped.Looking around, she recognized where she was instantly until her eyes fell on an angry-looking Xavier. Oh gosh."Seriously, Miss Harrison? Sleeping on duty?" he asked."I... I am sorry, sir," she stuttered as she moved her hands over the files and pulled the laptop closer. She felt his gaze on her, making her nervous.She couldn't even remember where she had stopped.Staring at the laptop screen and then at the files, her hands became sweaty.Oh geez."How long have you been sleeping?" he asked.She looked at him but dropped her gaze immediately."I asked you a question," he demanded."Fi... five minutes," she lied. She couldn't even tell how long it had been.But honestly, she had been way gone.And oh my God, it was dark outside!"Five minutes, huh?" he asked.She nodded."Or do you mean five hours?"She shook her head. "N... no, sir...""How many files have you typed so far?" he asked.She n

Xavier scoffed as she leaned down to pick up the files that had fallen from her hands while gawking at him.Or could she be drooling?Well, of course.She was drooling."Seriously, Miss Harrison? Are you always this clumsy, or did you get lost in your lousy imaginations?" he asked, walking toward the nightstand and picking up his lotion.He didn't get an answer from her."I asked you a question, Miss Harrison," he said without looking at her."I... I... am sorry," she stuttered, clearing her throat.He scoffed.He took some lotion in his palm, rubbed his hands together, and applied it to his body.He could feel her eyes on him.He guessed she was swimming in a pool of regrets right now. She must feel awful for leaving this for the stupid lover of hers.Smirking, he turned around and met her gaze, which was fixed downwards.She wasn't even staring at him.Seriously?She was just standing there with the files in her hands and... literally staring at them."What are you doing here?" he a

“Did you hear me?" Rob asked."I did but....""One of the company's drivers will take you. His house is not that far from here anyway," he said, typing on his laptop.Gosh. His house. I am going to his house. She said internally. "Hurry up and get the files," Rob said.She nodded slightly and walked toward the office.Entering, she moved toward the desk, picked up the files, and her eyes went to his portrait again.She wondered why he wanted her to come to his house. She hadn't been expecting this.Sighing, she walked out of the office with the files in her hands.She headed toward Rob’s desk."Go on, you are wasting time, Giselle. The driver is waiting downstairs," Rob said."Okay," she said, letting out a breath as she headed toward the elevator. She pressed the button, and the doors opened. She entered and pressed the button for the ground floor.The door closed, and she was taken down. She walked out of the elevator and exited the building.She spotted a black Escalade with the c

Giselle closed her eyes at the loud sound of Blaire’s voice."He did what now?" Blaire asked, sounding excited.Giselle shook her head. "It is not an exciting thing, Blaire.""Why not? Of course it is. Your grumpy ex-husband kissed you!""He returned to his angry mode right after. I mean, an angrier mode.""Oh," Blaire replied.Giselle heaved a sigh."Seriously?" Blaire asked."Yes. He sent me out of his presence, Blaire. I felt terrible. I felt like the worst thing on earth." Giselle almost cried."Calm down, girlfriend. Don't think too much about it."Giselle sighed again."It is really confusing. I mean, why did he kiss you?" Blaire asked."I don't know. I am confused too. The kiss was..." Giselle paused, thinking about how amazing it had been. His hands around her and the intensity of his lips moving roughly on hers."How was the kiss?" Blaire asked.Giselle sighed. "Unexplainable.""Could it be that he is still in love with you?" Blaire asked."I don't know, Blaire. But he has ma

Hunger.Rough mode.Desire.Passion.Longing.All of it was evident in this least expected kiss. His hands moved down from her cheeks and wrapped around her waist, and she easily gave in, kissing him back and running her fingers through his hair.It was still as soft as the last time she had touched it.He moved her to the other wall, pinning her against it, making her let out an involuntary moan as he continued kissing her. His lips took more of hers hungrily.Roughly.Her entire body was on fire.Her heart was practically dancing.She felt a familiar, long-lost feeling in between her legs.She couldn't believe what was happening. She didn't know what had gotten into him.She didn’t even want to think about it.This was amazing.His touch was always amazing.She had really missed it.She missed him so much.She ran her fingers through his hair more. The last thing she wanted was for this to end.She didn’t want it to end.Please don’t end. She begged internally. His lips moved down,

“What kid?" Xavier asked and terror washed over Giselle.He was looking at her, expecting an answer."No... nothing, sir," she stuttered."What kid are you talking about, Miss Harrison?" he insisted.Her heart felt like it was about to explode."Dude, chill," Mason said.Xavier shot him a glare, silencing him. Mason raised his hands in surrender.Xavier turned his attention back to Giselle.Terror washed over her again.She clenched her phone with her sweaty hand."I am listening, Miss Harrison," he said."I... my..." She cleared her throat, dropping her gaze."Have you lost your ability to speak?" he asked.She shook her head."Then tell me what kids you were talking about.""My... my neighbor's kids," she said, looking up at him.He raised his brows at her."I am their nanny," she lied.He scoffed. "Nanny?"She nodded."You work as a nanny as well," he said.She nodded again."Wow," Mason remarked, making her glance at him.He furrowed his brows, confused.She looked back at Xavier.
