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

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

"My elder sister, Michelle Charming." He looked at me and smiled."She was your sister?" I felt terrible. All that time I was jealous of his sister?"Phoenix, you are an idiot. Do you really think I fell in love with you while carrying someone else in my heart?" He caressed my cheeks. The warmth of his finger gave me chills."I’m so sorry." I lowered my head in embarrassment. "What happened?""She died when I was nine." He said, pain taking over his smile."Oh," I kept my eyes lowered."There is a history behind this town and every person. My sister’s only fault was that she tried to change the rules, just like you. But it was sad because she couldn’t even trust her own father. She needed someone to believe her and help her, but father didn’t want the town to know anything. For him, this town, his prestige was more important than anything else." There was pain in his eyes."You don’t have to deal with all this pain alone, Xavier; I’m with you now," I said while holding his hand."You
Mayor's Addiction Chap-121*The Accused Victim*
Author’s POV:Years Ago:After Markeel told Paul he could stick with him and get Phoenix just like Markeel is going to get Millie again."Tell me you are not thinking about it, Paul," Phoenix shook Paul out of his thoughts and requested that he not listen to Markeel."He is committing a crime, and he is dragging you into it," Phoenix begged him not to consider it, but from the looks of it, Paul was already giving it some thought."She is never sleeping with you until you do exactly what I am telling you," Markeel told Paul again, holding his gun against Millie’s temple."He is not breathing!" Malika yelled after checking Frank’s pulse one more time. When Markeel heard that, his face turned pale.He never expected it to go this bad. As everybody started mourning Frank, Markeel felt the pressure."What have you done?" Millie cried, unable to reach Frank because Markeel was holding her back."Shut the fuck up!" Markeel yelled at everyone, and silence engulfed them once again."Paul!" Mar

He licked my neck and pressed his body against mine. I’ve got to stop him; he can’t do this to me. I managed to pull my leg close to my body and adjust my knee on his stomach with difficulty; once done, I kicked him back. Before he could turn back on me, I slapped him hard. He took a minute to respond, but he was back at it again, trying to hold me again. I pushed him off and quickly made my way inside the room, locking it behind me. My heart was racing fast, I was trembling, and I knew he was still out there.“What the hell just happened?” I uttered this to myself in disbelief. My whole body was burning hot due to anger.I went out because I thought he might be feeling sad because he was expecting me to find his mother. All this time I was feeling bad for him, and he did this to me? I couldn’t believe it. I rubbed my face in my palms, and tears wet my cheeks again. How am I going to ever tell Xavier that his cousin kissed me? I can’t, even if I want to, I can’t. If Xavier comes to kn

"Hey," I uttered, picking up Xavier’s call. Every time I think about him, he either texts me or calls me."Hey, what’s happening?" He said."Nothing much," I replied with a sadistic smile only I could see."What’s wrong, Phoenix? You were awfully silent at breakfast, and you didn’t even call or text me later. You know you can share everything with me, right?" His concern melted my heart. I've got to talk to him, but what about Jace’s mother? And what if Xavier didn’t like the fact that I left him in bed and walked out of the room for Jace?"It’s just that I’m worried about Derrell. He hadn’t been caught yet, and I’m bored." I really wanted to do something, and staying at a mansion doing nothing was making me nothing but a lame ass."He’ll be caught soon, Phoenix, I promise you." He reassured me, and I had no doubts about that."Thanks for everything," I said as I got to my feet and stood by the window, staring outside. I rarely ever looked out, but it was a pleasant view."Are you sur
Mayor's Addiction Chap-124* Beginning Of Doomsday*
It was 11pm when Xavier finally dozed off and I decided to have a round of the mansion. But before I could step out, I received a text from none other than Jace. Jace: Phoenix? I waited for a few minutes; I do not know what he wanted. Me: yes? Now, I wanted to know what was going on around me. I have to monitor their actions. Jace: Do you want me to talk to Miranda for you? The tape? Me: Why are you saying this to me? You forced me to do it, so do it for yourself because you are going to pay if Xavier finds out about it. I was mad at his words. He was making it look like it was all my doing when it was his. Jace: Okay, relax. But I need to know what she wants. Me: try, but the type of b*** she is, she will not tell you anything. Jace: At least I can try. I owned, wondering if he would be able to get us out of this mess. Oh! I wished. Me: okay. Jace: She is anyway staying in the mansion tonight, so I have a chance to talk to her. Me: Okay then, lemme know what she wants.

"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

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
