It Started With The Hickeys Chapter 46 Skye Monticello
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

As expected the next day after the Gala, rumors about Skye being a gold digger soared like the scorching smoke of a wildfire.She could feel the disdain from around her the next morning she arrived at the company. The issue reaches not only in the company but also around the city. Her name was mentioned in the news about the prestigious Gala of the Wright Group of Companies."She's that woman in the news" "Yes, it's her. She's pretty though. No wonder the CEO was enticed""You can't blame CEO Wright. She's stunning" Skye could hear the murmurs from where she was sitting. These people didn't even try to be discreet. All she could do was mentally scoff in exasperation. She went out for lunch to avoid the company gossip about her. But rumors seem to follow her around. Wherever ahe goes, she can hear her name in hushed murmurs. "Don't they have anything valuable to do but listen to the tales of nosy yentas?" She whispers to herself while she finishes whatever is left on her plate. "W

"Ande...CEO Wright. Please, help Katherine. She cannot breathe. Miss Monticello has been assaulting us" Jessica, with tears in her eyes begs for help. Xander turned to the two figures in front of him and saw how Katherine Laeback's eyes begged for mercy. He doesn't know what transpired between Skye and the others. He is in a meeting and Collins just got a report about the commotion in the lobby, involving Skye. Looking at the cold fury in Skye's eyes surprised him. But he likes it. It is the kind of feistiness he wants from her. So, he was right, Skye has that grit. Despite having no one by her side, she could defend herself. He is mentally rejoicing. If not for the eyes watching and expecting him to do something, he would wait to what extent Skye would do to Katherine Laeback. "CEO Wright, please" the women begs upon seeing their manager already about to faint. He heard their plea and saw their panic but he did nothing yet. He watches in fascination though his face reveals nothin

She is dying to go home and rest. If not for the nonsense Jessica and her manager brought her, she could have been home by now. She's not fabricating when she says she is awfully tired. She felt so depleted. Relieved of the chance to leave, she walks to the door with Luis tailing her. But she suddenly lost control of her feet after a searing pain at the pit of her stomach numbed her entire body. She almost fainted if not for the strong arms that held her before she could fall."Miss Skye" She could hear their worried voices but she was too muddled with pain to respond. She was trying to regain her breath when she felt a gush of warm liquid between her legs. Panic consumed her when the realization struck her. She seemed to be losing her strength at the thoughts scramming her head. It's overwhelming. Suddenly, she went limp against Luis."Miss Skye""Blood! There's blood trickling down Miss Skye's legs"She could hear panicked voices but she was too weak to even open her eyes."Miss

(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

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.

"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
