"Before we go, can our new couple give us a kiss?" Loren says. Cara head snaps towards Xander's direction immediately those words came out of Loren's mouth.
A kiss? She didn't plan for a kiss.
Cara's heart racing but in spite of that she maintains a smile, she can't get off character now.
"Come on guys, don't be shy." Loren urges.
Xander turns to Cara as well trying not to show how uncomfortable he is with the situation, since his career and image depends on it, he finds himself leaning in. Cara heart almost stopped when she notices he is actually going through with it, she's is surprised he didn't just freak out and spoil the whole show given the fact that he doesn't like her. But since he is playing along, she might as wel
Warning Mature Content !!!"Where the hell are my clothes?" Cara storms into Xander's office in nothing but a white towel, which she's holding like her life depends on it.Cara woke up this morning, all chipper and happy since today is her mother's surgery. She even showed early, which she hardly does but the Asshole; called Alexander has a way of ruining her joy. She walked up to her closet to find out that all her clothes are gone and is replaced with a new set of clothes.Xander picks his cup of coffee, taking a sip before looking up at the raging woman in a towel. Xander always starts is day with silence which is now ruined.He drops the cup of coffee on the table, "I got you new ones, or are you blind?" He raises his eyebro
~~~~Xander's eyes flutter open, as he hears low sobs in his room. He shuts his eyes again and then opens it, trying to adjust to the bright sunlight that is coming from the large window of his room. His head is banging, like a building under construction. He hears movements, and it finally clicks. Someone is in the room with him, he sits up and to his surprise, it is a Cara fully clothed trying to sneak out of his room and then it all registered.Holy shit!"Did we?" Xander asks, looking down at the sheets and he is indeed naked.Fucking Hell!Cara stops upon hearing his voice, all she wanted was to escape before she b
Every woman has thought about getting pregnant and having a kid at one point in their lives, the same as Cara Green. Young Cara always dreamed of having a relationship like her parents and building a family just as her parents did. She wishes to have a man that looks at her the way, her father looked at her mum and she wants her kid to be happy just as she was. For that dream to come true, she has to be prepared, mentally, physically and emotionally. Although Cara hasn't always worked towards the dream, with many pregnancies scares, the 23-year-old is lucky to not have been pregnant at 17. She had offered herself to get carry a baby for a stranger a few weeks, and she didn't even understand the gravity until now. Cara is actually pregnant, she has something growing in her. "What are you going to do?" Cassie walks over to the bed
~~~~~"Wow, you should see this?" Dianne says, pushing her phone over the counter. Liza hands her friend a glass of wine before picking up the phone. Her blood boils as she set eyes on a black and white picture of Xander and Cara goofing around in front of a camera. She thought she knew the true meaning of heartbreak when Xander ended things with her, it turns out the real heartbreak is seeing him moving on. "I could swear you guys broke up 2 months ago, he sure got over you quickly." Dianne mocks."Shut the hell up." Liza hands Dianne back her phone violently, as she walks away from her. Dianne smirks with the knowledge she got to the blonde-haired beauty.Liza stops in her sitting room where she had
"Can I speak with you?" Gwen gestures to Xander as he is about to leave with Cara."Hmm, Sure," Xander stays back."Well, I will just leave." Cara gives them both a fake smile, as she twists the doorknob and walks out. She can't help but wonder what they talk about. Is it about her, her babies? Or are they just fucking while she waits for them at the reception?How disrespectful."So about the test you asked me to run..."Xander interrupts, "Oh, the babies are mine." He says with certainty."I was going to say, it will take a few weeks to do the test because she's having twins."
~~~~~"I can't believe you are hitting this." Xander's look-alike smirks as he sits on the couch comfortably, not caring about what or who he walked into.Cara jaw drops slightly as he said those words right in front of her. Cara can't say it's been the most awkward situation she has been in. After all, she did get caught having sex in the janitor's closet back in high school, but at least the teacher who caught them had the decency to look away unlike this dude who's just starting.Xander snaps out of his shock, putting Cara down carefully as he adjusts his ruffled shirt. Cara bends to pick up her shirt, as she covers her upper body with it. "Can you?" Cara indicates that the creep turns around.Xander walks out of then sitting room without uttering a word, his clone takes the hint and follows his twin out of the sitting room.
Cara walks into the sitting room to a welcoming view of the two brothers, one in a grey suit reading today's newspaper and the other, shirtless and pressing his phone. It will take Cara sometime to get used to the similar faces but she doesn't mind waking up to this view. Xander is the first to notice her presence as he looks up from his newspaper and gives her a quick glance then focuses on his newspaper again."Hey you," Xavier looks up from his phone. Cara walks over to sit on the couch where Xander is sitting, shifting a little purposely ensuring she inches close to him. He looks up from his newspaper gives her a weird look which she expects.She turns to Xavier, "Trying to seduce me with the abs?" which by the way Cara thinks is glorious, like a Calvin Klein model. Cara imagines how it feels to run her fingers down that sculpted
She is intimidating. Long legs, high cheekbones, flawless skin, emerald eyes, full lips, and a resting bitch face. She is perfect. Xander really knows how to choose them.Cara reminds herself of how beautiful she is as well, which is petty but also the only reason why she is not slamming the door on the lady before her. Apart from her obvious beauty, Cara has no problem with her despite the fact she is Xander's ex. If anything, she is impressed that this woman was able to endure being with that arrogant asshole for years. In less than a month Cara has stayed here, she had thought of possible ways to get rid of him but then she remembers the twins.Liza frowns at the woman who's still standing looking at her. Liza didn't take less than a second to scan the curly-haired girl before she picked up that she isn't special. Not on camera and also not in real life.
It's been a long journey but we are finally here. OPEN MARRIAGE is live @ https://auriatepublishinghouse.com for just 3.5$ promo price.This is my first ever published book and I am so proud of it. Your support is appreciated, and I hope you continue to support me.Thanks.A LITTLE INTROHi, I'm Ivy Sharon James. I'm an award-winning romance writer, praised for my ability to put the perfect love stories into words. Sadly, it's all words, my reality is far from what I write in my books.Trust me when I say my intense love stories put my marriage to Cole James to shame.10 years and one amazing kid later, I've realized that my marriage has reached that stage. Yes, that stage. The stage where we don't even notice each other anymore, don't do things to make each other happy, a stage which would make one cuss the words "happy ever after".The past 12 hours ha
16 YEARS LATER.ALEXANDER'S POINT OF VIEW."Put me down," She chuckled as she wiggled her legs.I opened the door of our room, taking my wife inside, and closing the door behind us using my leg."Alexander." She whined, I took a little spin which made her giggle.Almost immediately, I felt my back snap stopping me from spinning. It's a sharp pain that pushes through my entire body."Are you okay?" She looked up at me worried, almost as if she heard it snap."Yeah." I lied through the back pain. I slowly put her down trying to prevent myself from falling.With this annoying back pain, my doctors say I should refrain from
"Hey, long day?" Cara looks up at Xander as he walks into the sitting room."Yeah," He drops his briefcase on the couch across hers and then walks up to her. "But it's better now." He mutters as he brings her chin up with two fingers before placing a kiss on her lips.Cara smiles. He puts his hand on her baby bump."How are you two doing in there?" He whispers putting his head down to her bump."Wanna talk about your day?" Cara asks.
"What are you doing?"This is it, she has to make a decision. It's either flight or help. Her hands are shaking, her heart beating fast, the sound of Cara in pain is not helping her think.Why can't she actually walk away?Growing up, people around Liza were scared of her and what she is capable of, including her mum who since Liza was a kid noticed that she didn't have an innocent mind as most kids do. She became more scared of her when Liza, after an argument with her mum, burnt down the house with her in it.Luckily her mum survived but her mum's assistant suffered burns. She didn't get punished for her actions, Charlie paid for the damages as he always does.
"Prove it," such simple words but as every day passes, it becomes harder for Alexander to decode its meaning. How else is he to prove how much he loves her? He thought ordering his security to never let Liza into his house and company is proving it. The flowers every morning at her doorstep, sleeping in his car just outside her house every day, the daily words of affirmation he texts to her every morning and night before she goes to bed, isn't that proving it? The fear of the break becoming permanent is running through Xander's thoughts and these fears are slowly eating him up. Usually, he keeps busy when emotionally stressed, but it's different now, he doesn't want to do anything. So he didn't. Today, he didn't send flowers and he also didn't stop by at her place at night. He stayed home and got drunk.
"Say something," Cassie whispers after offloading her past to Xavier. He has been quiet through it all and this is unsettling for her. Xavier raises his head and looks at her, "Thank you for sharing." He says in a low tone. Cassie nods, trying to process his reply, and then she pauses for a second before she shakes her head, "Is that all you want to say?" "I mean, no one is perfect. I am definitely not." She shakes her head in denial that someone can actually accept all she has told him easily. "You are just saying what you think I want to hear." "No, because I know I am not a saint. I have slept with hundreds of girls, given them a good time. I probably should have gotten my money's worth." Xavier jokes. Noticing t
Cara peeps through the window for the thousandth time, she ensures the curtain covers her face as she spies on the BMW outside."He has been there all night," Cassie says behind her which makes Cara jolt up and release the curtain immediatelyCara walks away from the window to the couch where she takes her seat. "Don't fall for his dramatics."Alex hasn't left since Cassie dismissed him yesterday afternoon. Cara won't admit but she woke up a couple of times in the middle of the night to check outside her window. She has been uneasy."I was thinking of bringing him breakfast."Cara shrugs, "You are the one that cooked, suit yourself."
It felt good at the moment, like winning an argument but then you realize that you said somethings that you don't mean. By the time she took the video down, the internet was already on fire. The news gained more buzz than the time news got out that Liza and Xander broke up. Almost a dozen calls from Xavier and Xander, Cara even got some from Andre. All calls were ignored, and she turned off her phone. She cannot be stressed, the minute she got home, she ate and had a nap.As for Xander, when he saw the video, he could care less about the damage it could do to their already existing narrative, all he cares about is what set her off for her to make such a video."We had a narrative
"How dare he?" Cara scoffs as she paces around the sitting room ranting about Xander. Cassie remains mute, not knowing what to say.She had earlier told Cara to let it all out and now she is regretting it. Cara is indeed going on and on about how much of a jerk Xander is and Cassie is just seated nodding repeatedly."He walked out on me like he's the victim, I should be the one walking out on him," Cara says while Cassie nods.Cara's eyes widen like an evil mastermind who had just connected the dots. "He's trying to manipulate me with that stunt he pulled, but it's not going work. I am Cara Green and that shit doesn't work with me." Cara states and as always, Cassie nods. She continues ranting and Cassie continues nodding."You need to have seen the way he looked at me when
