Mayor's Addiction Chap-18*The Fall Of Love*
The silence filled the air, and I couldn’t help but wonder what he was thinking. Will he accept her or punish her?"Aren’t you glad?" She asked, as she too noticed how silent he had become the moment he heard her. "Mothers are horrible," he mumbled to himself, zoned out. I didn’t understand the meaning behind his words either. Why did he say mothers are horrible?"Xavier?" she called out his name in bewilderment. I bet she was so excited that she didn’t even hear it. But I did. "Yeah, sorry, what? Oh! I’m glad." It was a dead vocal, almost neutral tone. He blinked his eyes and turned his body away, probably rubbing his face in his hands."I knew you would be happy. You do not know how much I’ve missed you." Olivia quickly grabbed the courage and hugged him from behind. Something was odd. How could she not feel it?He didn’t move, instead slowly took her hands off of him and swirled to see her, but this time, he had a smile on his face."Let’s take you home. You need rest even more
Mayor's Addiction Chap-19*Riddle Wrapped Up In An Enigma*
It had been two days since that incident, and the thought of the Mayor seemed to be still stuck in my mind. Olivia’s parents took her home and decided to not talk about her pregnancy with anyone. I was told by them to not interfere in their matters, so I couldn’t step up and speak for justice. The feeling of not being able to do the right thing was killing me inside. Apart from everything going on with Olivia, Derrell didn’t stop questioning me about my little chat with Mr. Mayor. And I had no answer other than to walk away from him every time. I have made up my mind to not go near Mr. Mayor, no matter how much Derrell begs me to.I clumsily played with my food as I looked out my window. I didn’t join them for dinners or lunches ever since I found out that Mia was just feeding me well to prepare me for the lion. I had stopped believing in her fake sweetness. A stepmother can never love anyone more than her own child. How stupid of me to think otherwise. I looked at my food and the ima
Mayor's Addiction Chap-20*Rare Side*
I felt like throwing up. My hand flew to my stomach while I gagged a little."Don’t grab attention, stand still," Derrell whispered as he pinched my arm and made me scrunch my nose at him. The instant I lifted my face, my eyes connected with Mr. Mayor’s eyes. He was scanning me, and the instant I clenched my jaw in hatred and looked away from him, I heard him call for the guards."Don’t strip her,"His command caused others to whisper and me to look at him in confusion."She can get the punishment without getting stripped." The way he rolled his eyes seemed to me as if he was communicating with me through his gestures. Wow! What a generous Mr. Mayor to spare her.Oh, wait! He didn’t spare her. She was still going to get whipped. The guards left her alone after they had torn a little bit of her dress from her feet. Not too big, just a little tear. "I’ll whip her myself," Mr. Mayor decided, taking the whip in his hands and starting whipping her as a beast would. Before that, he took of
Mayor's Addiction Chap-21*She Must Stay*
Xavier Charming’s POV:I had only returned to my mansion when I found Jace standing outside my room with a look on his face that told me from the get-go what had irked him."You freed Derrell of that debt?" He followed me inside once I didn’t stop to have a conversation with him."Yes, I did," I answered, taking off my coat and walking over to the closet."That was our way of getting him. What are we going to do now?" Jace sounded more worried than I was. It was ironic because he looked pretty upset after I punished Olivia."Jace! Weren’t you the one who was against the idea of me punishing that girl?" I smiled to myself because every time I questioned him, he would lose energy trying to debate with me."You know why," he whispered."No, I don’t. There is no reason to feel bad for any of them. She lied to me about carrying my child when there was no child in her womb, to begin with. She thought she was still talking to that Xavier, who wouldn’t know right from wrong." I almost clenche
Mayor's Addiction Chap-22*I Cannot Escape*
Days went by and I applied for a job at a few places after Mr. Mayor sent me a permission letter. I even got a job, and it was unbelievable to me. I thought I would have to suffer looking for a job with no experience and no degree, but it turned out people wanted a useless person like me to work with them.‘’You have been appointed to work with Mr. Mayor,’’ I followed the old man in a grey suit. He was instructing all the selected candidates. With Mr. Mayor? I was never told what or who I would work for. I had no clue he was going to sign me up for himself. I chased the old man sluggishly, keeping my head down.‘’Welcome everyone,’’ I heard his voice emerging from a distance. He was facing the candidates. I joined them in the room and silently paid attention to his speech. I stole a jiff to glance around at the fellows: three girls, including me, and two boys.‘’Old age!" he sighed, "They might seem dependent on you all today, but they used to be just like you all once. So, treat the
Mayor's Addiction Chap-23*Ailing Wounds*
“Get inside. I am not going to stand here and wait for you the whole night,” he said, still not giving me a choice to leave.“I won’t bite,” He added but didn’t bother looking at me. I had no other option but to roll in. I managed to keep a distance between us, but since he was pretty busy on his cellphone, I felt like it wasn’t a bad idea to take a free ride home.He was breathing louder than the car engine, and I wondered what he was watching on his cellphone to make him breathe so loud. But that was none of my business. I found the awkward silence better than talking to him or arguing with him. He put the cell phone down, and that’s when I felt the heat rush to my cheeks. “Matt!” he spoke to the driver. “Stop the car.” As soon as he said that, my heart sank in my chest. My posture started shaking as I wanted to turn to him and see the details of his face, but I was too scared to do that. ‘’Change the tire,’’ he added, and my tensed-up muscles relaxed. It was queer how everyone l
Mayor's Addiction Chap-24 *It's Been A Hell Of A Ride*
His car was parked a short distance from my house. I broke away inaudibly, making certain I didn’t wake up the beast I had rambled with for no reason. As I walked to my house, a chilly breeze brushed a strand of hair from my face.I didn't even have time to knock on the door before I was glared at."Greetings, Miss Nix," Zoe muttered under her breath. She was the least valued person I had ever met. I knew her sarcasm was because of my arrival in the mayor’s car. She kept forcing me to stare, jamming my way inside. "Don’t think he did all this for some other reason. You know how he feels about me, and therefore he is being kind to us," she said, wriggling her brows and abhorring my view for a few seconds."Yeah, don’t you think the word's kind and Mayor don’t fit well together in the same sentence? I mean, like, come on, he is a monster and not even in disguise. From beating up an old man in front of his son to the character assassination of an innocent girl before the whole town, I ca
Mayor's Addiction Chap-25*Almighty Mayor*
"Hm?" As he put pressure on his question again, I felt like he would not stop until he got an answer from me."No, I just know my limits, almighty Mayor." My sarcasm must not have sounded virtuous as I was sitting in his car and talking big. He abruptly burst into laughter, stretching his head back and rubbing his palms together. For a moment, I couldn’t even look away from him.Why doesn’t he smile very often? His laugh sounded therapeutic.But then I really thought about it and felt really weird. It wasn't like I'd said something strange, but it was just a little sarcasm. I had one leg over the other, and my fingers were fidgeting, showing nervousness. My black hair was falling onto my shoulders like dark clouds filling up the sky. I stared at Mayor’s fingers; the coin rolled smoothly in his long fingers.‘’Almighty Mayor,’’ I heard him repeat my words in his mouth with a smile as innocent as a tear in a baby’s eye. But that single smile would not change the fact that he had destroy

Mayor's Addiction Chap-147*The Last Choice*
"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
Mayor's Addiction Chap-143*Vows*
"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
Mayor's Addiction Chap-140*Inhumane*
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
