It Started With The Hickeys Chapter 53 Almost Victory
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

"If there's a bitch in this place, it's you, Jessica Straus"Jessica was too stunned to react. The gentlest woman everyone knows just slapped her. A strong one. Her cheeks painfully throb and her neck almost snaps but she is too stupefied to whimper. The lobby is in total silence after the loud gasps that erupted earlier. Everyone hasn't seen it coming. The most gentle soul in the Wright family has bared her fangs and it's quite sharp. "You're worried your cheeks are swollen for the shoot? Well, don't bother. There will be no shoot for you ever again" Lexie, with the same venomous contempt as Jessica had earlier, coldly mutters. Katherine gasps in panic while her eyes snap at Jessica before averting to the furious matriarch. She fears the implications of her words. Everyone has the same response, especially Divine and the other models. Their minds are screaming in panic but no words are uttered. All are too stunned to speak. "Auntie?" Jessica quivers while cupping her face. "Do

The circular tackles the renouncement of Miss Katherine Laeback, Miss Jessica Straus, Miss Divine Campbell, and three more models of their contract with the company effective immediately" "As known to the public, Miss Jessica Straus and Miss Divine Campbell are among the top models of Silhouette Designs.

Days after Skye's revelation, she again visited the CEO's office. This time she doesn't need to feign work just to see him. Something is bothering her mind and she needs a distraction. But only Xander could distract her, so despite not wanting to be seen with him at an office hour, she went up to see him. "Good afternoon, Miss Skye" The staff immediately greeted her except for Nathalie who just watched her walk out of the elevator."Good afternoon" With a polite smile, she greeted back but ignored the woman with a sour face at the front desk. She has no time to bicker with anyone since her sickness is starting to surface again. Since morning, she has not been feeling well. Walking straight to the CEO's office, no one stopped her as she directly entered without knocking. But found it empty. After slowly closing the door, she leans at it while inhaling deeply. The air inside the office smells of him and it calms her senses. She walked to his desk and stared at it for a moment. He

"The launch is coming near" Lucien mutters while intensely staring at Xander before his eyes trail toward Zachary, Braiyden, Asher, and Gabriel. They are enjoying a drink in the CEO's office after meeting with the investors. "Have you talked to Alek?" Lucien turns to Xander. "Yes, last night. We've discussed a lot of things" Xander nods. "Thankfully, Lia gave birth before the launch. Alek can now focus on the upcoming event" Zachary mumbles with a smile. "Yes, another baby boy. Our brave Leandro Victor" Xander endearingly smiles recalling the photo sent by Alek last night. They've gathered to wait for the great news of Lia safely giving birth to their secondborn."Another heir" Gabriel raised his glass and others followed. They quietly celebrated the new gift bestowed on the family. "And I will be having twins" Xander tenderly mumbles. "This has been a great year for us" Lucien heaves a contented sigh. "Yes, it is" Zachary sips his drink. "But we cannot cast aside the tension

"Where is Dharma?" Xander softly asks while they are snuggled in bed. Hugging her from behind, he felt how she stiffen. Even if he won't be getting a response, he can almost infer by her reaction. "We have identified the presence of Dharma residents in Austine City since the start of this week" he added while she remained quiet. "Dharma has never been irrational. All countries have respected the boundaries they have set for all of us. And they've been respectful. We are fine with tourists or jobseekers from Dharma but the unusual entry of groups is putting us in a defensive situation" he carefully discussed despite not having a response from her. There was silence after she still refused to speak. He waited, giving her time to contemplate her words. But after a while of her silence, he heaves a sigh. "Do we have a reason to be alarmed, Skye? Do we need to raise our defense against Dharma?" "No. They mean no harm" After her long silence, Skye spoke. "Was this the reason why you'

From a cafe across the street, Skye watched the busy street in front of the WGC building. Guests start to arrive. Prominent businessmen from all over the world. WGC's aerospace launch becomes a convention of all top conglomerates around the globe. At this time, they are all gathering to have a ceremonial parade. The launch will be at Austine International Airport later today. To help his family, Alek Vasili Wright also arrived with the Petrov entourage earlier at midnight. And while WGC was flocked by world business leaders, she made an excuse to have her peaceful drink alone. Of course with her securities. She's not in the mood to be in the crowd. While sipping her fresh fruit drink she looked up to the topmost level of the building. Surely, Xander and every Wright are all busy welcoming their guests. But here she is, getting anxious again. No matter how she convinces herself that everything is good, a part of her is still apprehensive. "I really need fresh air" she whispers to

"I'm sorry I forgot my manners. Vittorio Di Lauro, IV. Nice meeting you all"As the name came out from his lips carved with an ominous smile, warning bells started to violently ring in everyone's heads. Lucien's face darkened together with the rest. Alek remained stiff on his feet with his intense gaze boring at the old man. Wright security rounded Levinia and the others in front. All the Petrov are on their feet scattered together with all their men. Wright security rounded the strangers.Xander swiftly pulled Skye close to him, hugging her with her back against the Di Lauro. Yes, they are her people but he is clueless of their intention in coming without prior notice. Until he knows their motives, he will protect Skye from them.The rest of the guests tense and like what the Wrights did, they secure their women close to their sides. Every prominent businessman in the room has somehow encountered the name Di Lauro in the business world. And the name itself brought spine-chilling f

(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

As we all know, the Wright Group of Companies and DL Freedom Group of Companies entered a strategic alliance more than a year ago.

"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
