"Am I the reason why you need to escape, Skye?"A question she doesn't know how to respond. Well, if she will just be truthful, she could. But is she ready to bear her soul to him? "Is great sex no longer great?" He added in a whisper, almost indistinct. The uncertainty is evident in his voice."What?" Suddenly, she was confused. "Tell me where I'm lacking, I could improve, Skye. And I'm sorry if I didn't make love to you last night. I thought you were tired" he readily explains while she remains to be at a loss. "What are you saying, Xander?" She was baffled. "We could make love the whole night tonight. I will make it up to you" he added, assuring her. His odd words made her think. He is making no sense. But then, as she ponders deeply she starts to realize. "I want to go back" she whispers while pulling her hands away from his hold. She quickly wiped the wetness from her eyes. Without sparing him a glance, she straightened the chair and was about to start the engine when he c

After spending the entire weekend making love and with Skye's jealousy, Xander wore a new set of love marks at the start of the week. The day before the Gala night. With all the preparations for the grand event, the CEO is just in casual attire. A white polo shirt tucked in tan trousers and paired with casual leather shoes. Contrary to the usual business attire, he looks refreshingly handsome today. Needless to say, every female species in the company, swooning for his magnificence is giving him lingering gazes. "Sir Xander looks so gorgeous""And yummy""Obviously, he is. The woman who gave him those marks again agreed with all of us""I wonder who she is. The CEO hasn't traveled abroad lately. So it means she is here in the country""Could it be Miss Jessica? She is back and they are seen together the first day she arrives""Could be" "Well, they look great together and with her significance in the Wright family, it's not impossible to be adored by the third heir""I'm excited t

"Let's go together" Xander hugs her from behind, still naked from their early morning activity. "No. I will go with my team" Playfully she glares at their reflection. Harry, Dina, and Robert arrived earlier today to attend the Gala as representatives of H&M Creative Ads. She will go with them later."Why? We can go together" Pouting, he insisted while fondling her neck. "Don't you dare mark me" She immediately exclaims when she feels his lips nibbling her skin. She has been persistently reminding him not to mark her while they are making love since last night. Though she loves to wear his marks, the Gala will be later and she doesn't want to face all the prominent people with hickeys around her neck. "I'm still covered by your marks" unamused, he moves away to remind her. "At least I didn't add more to them. Some are now faint. We could cover them with concealer" She sheepishly grins before placing a gentle kiss on his cheek. "It's fine. I like it this way" Smiling, he caressed

Looking at the mirror, she was mesmerized by the stunning woman staring back at her. Her face was familiar but she looked different."Gorgeous" Thea and her team were in awe at how their creations turned out. It's a given that Skye Monticello has exceptional beauty but it still surprised them how she looked after she was prepared. Her skin shimmers with the elegant color of her gown. A goddess out of Olympus. "Any color would surely suit you, but this gold dress emphasizes the creaminess of your skin. You look so dainty yet stunning, Miss Skye" With pure admiration, one of the staff speaks. "Aphrodite will be furious for stealing her spot as the most beautiful Goddess" Thea playfully raves. "You are all toying with me" Pursing her lips, she whines. "We are not, Miss Skye. You could see yourself in the mirror. You know what we are talking about" Thea becomes serious while meeting Skye's gaze in the mirror. Indeed she looked different. The makeup, her hair, the dress, the shoes,

"Skye Monticello" Samantha Wright softly mutters without tearing her gaze away from Skye.She was not expecting Zachary Simon's mother to know her. But mulling about it, she remembered that the older woman was a prominent jeweler. Still, she is in awe of how sharp her cognizance is with invaluable jewelry. Recalling the price of the necklace she was wearing as mentioned by one of the media personnel, she becomes immensely curious if it's indeed what it cost. A sixty million-dollar piece of jewelry got her head throbbing. If only she had known of the price she could have insisted harder not to wear them.No one could verify but Xander's aunt. The very brazen, Samantha Wright-Simon. But she hesitates to ask. As her reputation says about her, her presence is immensely intimidating. Skye could feel it. Even the way she stares at her makes her nervous. "I will see you all at the party" After a while of tense silence, the older woman faintly smiled and acknowledged everyone with a slight

"Yes, she is, buddy. Skye Monticello is gorgeous" The instant the words came out of the CEO's mouth, waves of muttering erupted. It becomes a huge furor for everyone hearing such compliments from the CEO for someone who was accused of social climber. Skye on the other hand was flustered. She was used to his compliments but not in front of hundreds of guests. What was Xander thinking? All eyes and ears are on them and surely most of the guests heard him. If not for the makeup she was wearing she would surely look like a ripe tomato. Even with her makeup, she could sense her face looked flushed."See, even my Papa agrees. Wow, you are so beautiful, Miss Skye" Still unable to overcome his admiration for his mother, Nico continued to gape in pure amazement. Never had he seen his mother be this made up. "The necklace suits you. I want to buy a lot of them for you. I will ask my Papa for money" In a whisper, he said. Skye cannot crouch lower because of her dress but she made sure to mee

Everyone is waiting for Skye to respond to the old man. But she remains temperate, staring at him. "Excuse, me. CEO Wright is inviting H&M Creative Ads to join him on stage" One of the organizers interjected the tense discussion and it was a relief for Skye. She got the chance to escape. "Of course, thank you" Harry who is also been engrossed in waiting for Skye to speak, turns to politely smile at the woman. He is curious too, but an invitation from CEO Wright is more important. "Please excuse us" Harry turned to the old man and the others with a smile before gesturing for his team toward the stage. Leading their team, Skye walks first. She wants to escape the earnest scrutiny of everyone. Though already far across the room. The old man's gaze still follows her, together with the rest who remain baffled by her ability."She's just a gold digger and a clout chaser. This could just be her act" Shella exclaims while staring at the old man whose eyes are still at Skye. "She's a fa

"Why did you do that?" Skye whispers after Jessica quietly leaves with her tail between her legs."I don't want you to be jealous again" he shrugs while casually glancing at their son. With his response, she was suddenly flustered. What will his family think of her? She tried to look around to find the family casually conversing with each other. No trace of the tension earlier. After Xander calmly rectified Jessica's notion about the level of their association, the model quietly left without a word. It was awkward for her but the family seemed to be unaffected. Even Lissie did not comfort her friend. "I am not" She whispers her denial and to hide her flushed face, she pretends to inspect a stone on her dress. They are talking discreetly amidst the curiosity of the other guests. Surely, all eyes are on their table. She is the only guest sitting at the Wright family's table and it somehow implies a lot. "Care for another round of drinks? I have a special one only for the family"Sk

(Flashback Chapter) She almost ran to the restroom upon spotting one. She has been holding her pee for just several minutes but the fullness of her bladder seems to be on the verge of bursting. She's only sixteen weeks pregnant but her constant trip to the restroom is quite a hassle. "Hah! At last" Her contented smile and a loud sigh of relief echo in the stillness of the cubicle after she relieved herself. She quickly washed her hands and went out. "Let's get back, Madame?" Luis's voice startled her when she got out. The man standing at the very entrance of the restroom. "You scared the hell out of me Luis" Clutching her chest, she incredulously raves. "Sir Xander strictly ordered not to lose sight of you, Madame. He will kill me if I lose you here"Scratching his head, he explains. "I won't be lost inside the restroom" Rolling her eyes, she walked past him. He closely followed behind while his other men, wearing casual clothes like him, discreetly rounded her spot. They are o

"CEO Wright, what can you say about the decision of Azure 42 to stop racing?" They are walking toward their vehicle to go home but media people follow them around. During the awarding, Azure 42 declared her retirement from racing. Even he was surprised by her decision but it was a relief for him and the entire family. However, his wife's declaration is a surprise to the racing community and they have been trying to get his insights. Earlier, his mother fainted with the discovery of the real identity of Azure 42. After Kiera took off the headgear, Lexie paled upon seeing the racer's face. Like a lighted candle, she melted on her seat. Thankfully, Lucien has been holding her, it deters her fall. Lissie was also dumbfounded, she wasn't responsive for several moments. It was a surprise his mother and sister obviously did not enjoy at all. "My wife has said what she has to say. She will focus on our family" he patiently explains while holding Kiera's hand. She had showered and now wea

"Mr. CEO, the CEO of DL Freedom Group of Companies has arrived" Collins entered."Just in time" Glancing at his watch, he mumbles. "The press is already settled" Collins added. "Good" After gathering the document on his table, he stands up. Today, the Wright Group of Companies will seal a business venture with the two companies under the DL Freedom Group of Companies through a contract signing and press conference."Are they comfortable in the waiting area?" He asks while handing the documents to Collins."Yes, sir. Snacks are served while they wait" Collins nods and smiles before they head out of the door."Perfect" Satisfied, he smiles. But before he stepped out of the door, his expression shifted to his usual icy and enigmatic demeanor. Before they reached the elevator, their legal team and another three of his staff followed behind, including Nathalie who remained as one of the CEO's secretaries.

"You may kiss your bride" The new Governor announced and loud applause from the massive crowd followed.With the streak of tangerine of the setting sun, painted in the sky, he cups her face for a brief yet soulful kiss. It was like their first time to kiss that both were unwilling to release each other. If not for the clearing of throats from their families, they would definitely deepen the duel. "I present to you, our newly married couple, Mr. and Mrs. Xander Voulker Wright" Wide tearful smiles adorned the faces of the entire family. Even the serious-looking men on the opposite side of the aisle are wiping the sides of their eyes. The Di Lauro brothers. Amidst the hoots and jovial applause from all their guests and families, their foreheads remain plastered together as they hug each other. It was a festivity in the entire Dharma, the marriage of the only heiress of the Di Lauro family. However, guests do not wear expensive tuxedos or elegant dresses. Contrary to the luxury the

"Care for a drink?" A glass of sweating pineapple juice is slowly placed in front of her. Staring at the thirst quencher treat, a smile carves her pink lips, bare of any lip color. "Pineapple juice? Really?" She snickers as she scoffs. "The safest offering" The man casually shrugs after settling next to her at the bar counter. "Do you think this can earn my interest?" She sneers, glancing at the man before her eyes return to stare at the sweating glass. "I don't need the drink to earn your interest, I already have it. It's just a freebie" he winks, making her incredulous. "Cocky" She scoffs. "I saw how your eyes linger" He took a sip from his glass with a smile lingering on his lips. "Well, I appreciate magnificence when I see it" She dismissingly shrugs. "Exactly" He smirks, glancing at her. Realizing she wouldn't win against him, she took a sip of his offering while shaking her head. For a while, no one speaks. They contented themselves consuming their drinks and watching

"Do you think I will approve of it, Kiera Azure? You and the Di Lauro heirs' place are here in Dharma""Grandpa" Skye tried to beg but her old man averted his gaze to the kneeling men on the ground. "Dismiss" One word and the governor together with his entire entourage scrambled on their feet to leave. Some of them run toward Darvid and his friends to help them to the vehicle. Shortly after, the yard is empty of visitors. Men, rounding the clearing earlier start to leave, giving the family privacy."Are you not tired of roaming the world, Kiera?" After a while of empty silence, Tonino turns to ask."I'm staying for good, Grandpa. I will stay wherever Xander brings me and our children. That is where my place is" She tenderly smiles while begging him with her eyes. "Dharma is for you and your children. Why should you want to be somewhere else other than here? This is your home" her grandfather mutters. "With due respect, sir. A wife's home is with her husband" Xander seriously poin

"Let's go. Let's see what the Governor's purpose for his visit" With eager curiosity in his voice, Tonino continues walking. This time his steps are quicker than earlier. Xander promptly follows. He believes Skye will not be harmed in her territory, but the presence of the father of Skye's suitor is unsettling in his peace. They were almost brisk walking and he was surprised when the old man held onto his arm for support. It was a long path and with his age though he is stronger than those his age, it drained his strength. With the old man's arrogance, he chose not to show a reaction. Growing up, they have been surrounded by proud elders. He is already aware of how fragile their pride is. While pushing the cart, he tries to keep up with the old man's pace. It took them a while to reach the front yard where the Di Lauro men, led by Vittorio Di Lauro were already gathered. Skye is nowhere around to his relief. Seeing the grim faces of everyone, he could tell a standoff might happen

"The man who could end your life anytime soon" The clicking of the pen randomly distracts the silence that fell upon the massive receiving room of the Di Lauro mansion. "What did you say?" With a deathly stare, Darvid turned and made a step toward where Xander was standing. "I hate repeating myself" Xander shrugs while he remains leaning on the wall. "End my life, you say?" Snickering, Darvid grimly mutters and is about to charge him. The other two did the same while drawing their pistols. But the clinking of metal distracts them from charging forward. Everything happened so fast that they only realized what ensued when bullets fell to the floor followed by the dismantled parts of guns. With stunned faces, Darvid's two bodyguards stare at their weapons on the floor while holding the remaining parts in their hands. Even Darvid froze on his feet. He forgot Kiera Azure has ways with weapons. She was so quick they didn't realize she was already at their side. "You dare draw a
