Mayor's Addiction Chap-112*Broken Love*
"Why Phoenix, why?" Xavier’s eyes were on the picture, and seriously, I expected him to say something like, *it is not what it looks like* or * I can explain* but why Phoenix?That was not what he should have said. "You tell me why?" I yelled at him as I refused to let him walk all over me and pretend like only his traumas matter. He raised his face to look at me in shock. He had tears in his eyes for that girl? He was playing with my feelings to serve her justice."What are you talking about?" he continued, acting innocent.“I am your revenge on Derrell?” I shouted till my lungs bled."What?" His eyes narrowed at me. He made a tight fist out of his hand, rolling the picture in his palm as well.“I'm your---“ I started crying really loud this time. I was naïve enough to believe in him."You used me to hurt Derrell. What the fuck were you planning?" I shouted in sobs, feeling betrayed. “That was Zoe,” his raised voice made me look up at his face. "Yes, she was my way to destroy Derre
Mayor's Addiction Chap-113*My Crush, Crushed Me*
My head was spinning when I woke up, and my neck was aching badly too. I rubbed my eyes; it took me a few minutes to determine what had actually happened. I quickly sat up in bed and looked around. It was dark. Where the hell was I? Oh, wait, I heard the doorknob being swirled. Someone got inside and locked the door behind him again. It was Jace! ‘’Why?’’ I slowly whispered, shivering inside my skin. I tried to get up, but I was weak. Everything that had happened in the last few hours had left me traumatized. "You will know." Jace came out of the dark, revealing his face as the dim light from the lamp fell on his face. "Why are you doing this to me? What do you want?" I yelled my lungs bleeding, but this only formed a smile on his lips. I was already dealing with a lot, and this was making me go insane. "I want many things from you, but trust me, right now, I want nothing from you." He was more concerned about the surroundings than looking at me. He kept roaming across the room wh

I shook my arm free from his grip and stared at his face blankly. He didn’t turn to return the favor of staring; he knew what he was doing, and by the look on his face, he looked proud. "How can you treat me like this?" I uttered, my heart seemed to have stopped beating."I want you two outside." He didn’t bother answering me. He can’t get away with it. Either he answers me or I will cause so much ruckus that he will not be able to rest. "Xavier!" I yelled, finally able to get his attention. His eyes were slightly red; his breaths were calm, but one could feel the tension in his body.‘’Answer me.’’ I demanded. Jace and Miranda both halted behind him."You are not in a state of li," I said, but my mind blew off before he could say anything. He can’t treat me like this. What state? He had kidnapped me, and I was not in the right state. Before any of us could realize, I slapped him with my full strength. Miranda covered her mouth in shock while Jace stepped forward along with the guar

"I have to go; you don’t understand." I kept pleading while Jace rubbed his hands and walked around me nervously. "You can’t," he said, taking a deep breath and wearing a sad face. "Something has happened to my sister, and I need to go there." I grabbed his collar and looked him in the eye. He suddenly stopped walking and stared back into my eyes. "Everything is going to be fine." He reassured me; he knew something. That’s it. He knew everything. "Tell me everything you know, Jace," I was breathing profusely. His hands gently grabbed my arms and pulled me close. "Everything is okay," he said while looking into my eyes. I don’t know if I was searching for something or if he was searching for something in my eyes. "I am scared," I mumbled, taking steps away from him. "You don’t have to be, as long as I am here. Nobody can harm you, Phoenix." I was hugging myself when he uttered those words. How can I trust him after everything he has ever done to me? "You broke that trust a lon

I was really tired, and no one has visited me for hours. I had to seek answers; I couldn’t wait because Jace said so.‘’WILL SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY AM I BEING HELD CAPTIVE?’’ I kicked the door and yelled, then walked away as I sighed. Suddenly, the door opened up. Coming inside was Miranda. I rolled my eyes at her image. "I don’t want a provocatively sexy secretary to seduce me right now." The sarcasm was on point. That’s what she has been doing, anyway. I never saw her doing any productive work. She was always around Xavier like a honeybee."All you need is a little common sense." She replied, putting her body weight on one foot and folding her arms around her chest.‘’You talking about sense makes no sense at all.’’ I rolled my eyes, folding my arms as well. We both stared into each other’s eyes aggressively."What is the problem with you? What do you want?' She was acting like I was some idiot. In her eyes, I should be happy—happy that I am imprisoned."I want my freedom and so
Mayor's Addiction Chap-117*Terrible*
I didn’t sleep for more than thirty minutes. Maybe it was my mind that needed rest. I sat in terror, my breathing was raced and my heart beat like a drum. My sister has been murdered, along with her unborn child. I looked around and found myself in Xavier’s room."You okay?" I heard him coming towards me. He was sitting in a chair in the far corner of the room."I need to go," I finished what I was going to say before he stood straight from his chair and slowly took a few steps toward me."There is nothing left in that home, Phoenix." He carefully murmured, keeping his eyes on me as if he were making sure I didn’t break down into tears again."But I just want to see it, the place where my sister di--" I couldn’t even finish my words and burst into tears again. He hurried toward me and sat very close."Your father is still wanted. We don’t know what he is planning, and I can’t risk it." His voice was calm and very supportive, but I didn’t need any comfort other than seeing the house fo

"Did he?" Xavier didn’t turn to see the guy. He was mending his cufflinks, and that wasn’t a good sign."His daughter broke a major rule, and he punished her himself. No other father can do this. He should be awarded." The idiot man kept talking, and the people around him wouldn’t stop nodding. It was a shame to see how illiterate these people were. Zoe had decided to do it; it was her choice. Who the hell were they to stand against her?"I spit on your mentality." I tried to break free from the guard to at least slap the filth out of this guy, but the guard didn’t plan on leaving me."His daughters are nothing but a shame." The guy looked at me and muttered. I stopped protesting. These people have a weird kind of hatred for me in their eyes. They see me as a sinner. Now I know why Xavier kept me in his mansion."You are right." I heard Xavier raising his voice and slowly turning to face us all. My heart has started to beat faster now. I stared at him in shock, and so did everyone els
Mayor's Addiction Chap-119*Who Was She?*
After Xavier left, it left me stranded with Jace."Are you okay?" Jace’s murmur caught my attention."I don’t know. I am losing everything—my sanity, my energy, and even everyone," I replied, but I didn’t wait for him to say anything. Soon I walked inside the room I woke up in after I thought they had abducted me."I know how it feels." I didn’t realize that Jace had followed me to my room. "The people we love are always the ones giving us pain. Either by leaving us or by breaking us.’’ his words were deep, but somewhere Xavier was going through the same pain and even alone. "I have still not forgotten about your mother, Jace, and after losing my sister today, I intend to give you your family back." I assured him it was strange to talk to him now after so many brutal incidents."I don’t want you to drag yourself into another trouble, Phoenix. You already have too much going on." He gave me a closed-lip smile, and I did the same, but my smile was more fake than his."Why did he abduct

"Are you guys okay? Did he hurt any of you?" Xavier’s voice was so calm for me. Maddox wanted to hug his father. I was craving it too, but Jace was only triggered now. "Daddy, I don’t like my uncle," Maddox said in a broken voice. A tear of fear slowly rolled down his cheek. "You scared my son," Xavier said, his eyes stuck on Maddox when he mumbled, slowly playing with his cuff-links. ‘’We can sort it out please,’’ I was not in danger of losing anyone. ‘’Let him decide that,’’ Jace smiled, looking at Xavier but this time Jace wasn’t so calm as well. "You have one choice, cousin, either save your beloved wife or your minion son," Jace said, pointing his gun at both of us one by one. "Resist, and both of them die," he added."Xavier, please save him," I mumbled, turning to look into his eyes from a distance. ‘’And let you die? Never,’’ he uttered in his mouth, his eyes on Jace. "C’mon, the clock is ticking, bro. Make up your mind,’’ Jace voiced, ‘’choose one.’’ "Xavier, please
Mayor's Addiction Chap-146*Once Upon A Time*
My heart was racing inside my chest. I have more to worry about now. It wasn’t only I in the room but my son, my life: Maddox. I slowly turned my body around, shivering at the thought of seeing him again after so long. ‘’Ah! It almost felt like a decade," his voice has turned heavy, his messy beard and long hair were showing that he never aimed to start over and waited for this moment his entire life. To hold on to revenge for that long, I must say he has no other ambitions for himself."Jace!" I announced, looking at the gun being pointed at me."Oh! You still remember my name?" He mocked me, clicking his tongue and shaking his head in disapproval."Why are you here?" I asked in panic, gulping as he reached for Maddox."Let him go," I said, looking in the direction of my son, whom Jace was holding by his tiny arm. Even the thought of him hurting my son was killing me. I wished he had been caught long ago. Just when I was finally happy in my life, he had to come ruin it for me.‘’Di

We were in Paris for the past two days. It was amazing, and the boys were having a lot of fun together."Dad, why did you marry my mother?" Maddox mumbled, trying to reach for an ice-cream as we three sat on the table in a restaurant. "Your mother," Xavier whispered, bowing in Maddox’s ear, "completes me. She makes me laugh, forces me into doing the right thing, fights with me to do things her way, and you know what’s the best part? I actually listen to her. I end up doing whatever she says," Xavier’s eyes were at me, his beautiful hawk eyes digging holes in mine. ‘’Why?’’ Maddox was not the type to quit asking questions, even for once. He was a very talkative soul.Because I love her. And when you love someone, you just do everything to make them happy. Making her happy makes me happy," He slowly blinked his eyes, reminding me of the time when I first saw him. I vividly remember the first day I saw him. And whenever he forced me to do something, I ended up forcing him to do it my w

"I can’t move," I laid in my bed, holding a book in my lap, and resting my head on the soft pillow. I looked at Xavier from the corner of my eyes. He was staring at me blankly. ‘’what?’’ I annoyingly spoke. ‘’You need to eat something,’’ He put his hands on his waist like a baby and mumbled. I was not starving myself, but every time he forced me to eat something, I felt wonderful. It was just that the morning sickness was too much for me.‘’Really? I didn’t know that," I tried to hold back my laugh and buried my head back in the book. ‘’You are starving my baby,’’ he pointed his finger at my belly and rolled his eyes."So you don’t care about me, just about your baby?" I was being a little annoying. I was arguing about everything; it’s not like I haven’t done that before, but yeah! I was four months pregnant and extremely moody."No," he replied bluntly, and then a smile appeared on his lips, "Okay! jokes apart, get up and eat something," he ordered, narrowing his beautiful eyes my

"This is so unfair," I broke down in tears instantly. Zoe deserved justice, even though Derrell got his punishment, but I wanted the extreme limits of torture for him."I’m coming home, Phoenix; please, calm yourself down," his voice was so calming to my ears at that moment that I looked at him and he looked uneasy."It’s okay. Don’t rush, I’ll be fine," I said, wiping away my tears with the back of my hand. I had to be prepared to talk to him about stuff, and I've got news for him as well. At the moment, I had a feeling that he knew I had seen everything.I took a shower and changed into a tight, white, knee-length dress. After hearing about my pregnancy, so much had changed in me. I was getting over disasters pretty quickly.I waited for Xavier while watching TV. I don’t know but suddenly the hopeless life was full of meanings and charms.I saw Xavier coming with the guards. His sight was shooting into my eyes. But he didn’t look pleased."Why didn’t you call me instantly?" He voice
Mayor's Addiction Chap-142*All This Time*
Phoenix’s POV:I watched the person crawl in my direction, but my heart was pounding with every little detail of this person.It was Morgan, my uncle Morgan. He crawled like a dog near me, his eyes were sewed shut and so were his lips from the sides only. His fingers were cut, and his body was naked with just shorts on. He had no hair; his eyebrows were shaved, as was his head. He somehow knew it was me. The pain was visible on his face. My eyes jumped out of their sockets at the sight before them. He kept coming towards me, and the state of shock was so intense that I couldn’t move.I had no idea when he crawled over me. I was still sitting, but his whole existence was so terrible. Suddenly, Hardie left Jace on the ground and ran in my direction. I screamed, looking away and hugging myself. It was horrible. Hardie approached and grabbed Morgan by his collar. He had a collar on. Hardie punched him in the back and pulled him inside the room, locking him quickly. I was still yelping and
Mayor's Addiction Chap-141*Worst Night*
Jace’s POV: A Few Hours Ago:"I don’t understand what Phoenix is up to," I was walking around restlessly, wondering what exactly was Phoenix planning to do now.I was waiting for her in the hallway after dinner, as I knew this was the only place where I could have a word with her. Once she goes into her room, she will not come out till morning.Some things were making me wonder if I was even doing the right thing by trusting her.As soon as I spotted her walking towards the room, I blocked her way to have a word with her."Jace! What are you doing?" She motioned for me to step aside."I'm here to get some answers from you," I stated anxiously. I swear I heard moans coming from their room several times."I don’t have time for this. We will talk some other time," she tried excusing, but I didn’t budge."No! I need to know what is going on. You said you didn’t want to be with him, then why are you marrying him?" I hissed at her, trying to keep my calm, but it was becoming impossible in t

That was pretty much a clue for me to check that room. But it was closed. I tried opening it or even pushing it, but it didn’t do anything. I looked at the code and thought to try it, but what if I tried it and it turned out to be wrong and an alarm blared in? I kept looking at it; I have to look at what was inside it. Taking a few steps further, I saw a room with *Sec* written over it. What if sec actually means se*? It could be second, or, wait, it's got to be security. Now all the rooms were locked to keep something from escaping, but this one was opened. I helped myself in. The biggest surprise that I got was that there were computers showing some footage. I was shocked when I saw there were cameras everywhere in his town, and this was the place where he used to watch everything. "That’s how he used to know what was happening around?" I was surprised but also intrigued.I sat on the chair and looked at the cameras. There was no footage from inside anyone’s house, so that meant th

"What are you looking at?" Xavier asked, watching me stare at the sky while we lay on the mattress on the rooftop."This will be our star," I giggled, drunk."You have drink too much, my love," He shifted his side toward me and planted a kiss on my shoulders."You make me happy," I babbled, laughing and kissing his hand, holding it to my chest."We both are each other’s paradise," he uttered, kissing my earlobe and making me giggle. "I love you, Xavier," I whispered happily."Maddox," he looked at the sky and mumbled out of the blue. I was the one drunk, but his words made me wonder if he was also wasted."What?" I asked. This time, I had my face turned toward him."I’ll name my first child Maddox, Maddox Charming," he said, a wide smile on his face. He tangled his fingers in mine and held my hand tightly. I was glad inside. Talking about children meant our relationship was growing. ‘’What if it is a girl?’’ I turned my face to him and watched him with love. He was looking at the st
