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.
"When I saw you on blogs with Alexander, I knew I had to style you." Xavier's stylist, Mario has been showering Cara with compliments and she may have grown another head.She loves him."Before we start, a picture. " He throws his phone at Xavier who catches in reflex."Hey, watch the face." He yells. Cara moves to the man in a red kimono put her right arm around his shoulders and then plants a kiss on his cheeks as Xavier takes the picture.Xavier throws the phone back which almost slipped off Mario's hands. "This is perfect," Mario says as he looks at this picture, "Going to post, what's your Instagram username?"Cara tells him. Talking about social media, Cara has over 500k foll
As expected an angry Liza storm in, "How much?" She asks angrily."What?" Cara raises her eyebrows."For you to leave Alexander alone, how much will it cost?" Liza starts, "A million, two..." Cara interrupts."Oh, please, I don't want your money." Cara rolls her eyes."Look here Carazan, I don't know how you managed to hook Alex down with a baby but it won't work. Alex and I fight a lot but we always get back together," She pauses, "Always," She says slowly. "So spare yourself the embarrassment because Alex is mine."Cara is more evolved than to be fighting with a woman for a man but she intends on pissing Liza off."Really, I pretty sure it's my name he yells when I let him deep inside me," Cara smirks
Cara walks into the kitchen half asleep and half awake, bags under her eyes and a messy bun on her head. Nature isn't her fan this morning. Nature isn't the only thing she hates maybe after breakfast, she will remember who or what she hates. Cara picks up an apple from the fruit bowl with the intention of going for the muffin next."Whoa, you look horrible," Xavier comments as his sexy self walks into the kitchen in a white polo shirt and blue jeans. He goes after the apple on the bowl as well."Gee, thanks." Cara rolls her eyes."Eww, bad breath," Xavier waves his hand near his nose as he keeps a safe distance from Cara."Duh, I haven't brushed. It's natural, blame nature."Cara c
"So you will come to the office and we'll go to the doctor's appointment," Xander says as he empties his cup of coffee."Sure." Cara nods, taking Cassie's juice from the corner of the table after finishing hers. Cassie glares at her, Cara gives her a sheepish smile.Xander throws his coat over his shoulders as he walks over to where Cara is seated. He leans in to grab his document but Cara thinking he is leaning in for a kiss, pecks him on his cheeks.They both freeze at Cara's contact. Xander grabs his document and stands upright. He clears his throat, "S-see you later."Completely flushed and embarrassed, Cara simply nods. Xander lets out a low laugh as he walks out of the dining room.
"I should go," Liza says breaking the silence of the room which was in existence since Cara walked in on them. "Call me," Liza whispers, loud enough for Cara to hear as she places a kiss on Xander's cheeks.She walks towards Cara with a victorious smirk on her face. "See you around." She whispers before walking past her.Xander stares at Cara indifferently not knowing whether he should explain what she just saw or let it go. She makes the decision for him with her next words, "We should go, our appointment is in 20 minutes." Cara tries not to sound bitter but that's all she be at the moment.Before he could say anything, Cara walks out of his office in a hurry. She stands outside where the bitch of a receptionist is, now Cara gets why the hoe didn't try to stop her from getting in.Anyways, Cara is
"No, I am not," Cara shakes her head in denial. "He is arrogant, an ass and extremely rude, how can I fall in love with him? It's the hormones, that's just what it is.""That's right, blame your unborn kids," Cassie says sarcastically. "Look, I will call you tomorrow morning. I have to wake up early for Sam.""Oh, I am so sorry for disturbing your sleep," Cara apologizes. Cassie always wakes up early to take Sam to school and make breakfast."Nonsense, don't just do anything stupid before tomorrow," Cassie jokes."I'll try," Cara mutters before she ends the call."Hey,"Cara turns her head in the direction of the
You will think by now Cara should have gotten used to Xander's unfailing ability to get her upset, but it seems that every time, he seems to attain new heights when it comes to pressing Cara's buttons.There Cara is, seated in the sitting room in her blue dress, makeup done and curly hair made straight. Yeah, Cara should back out on the date, but she took time to pick the perfect outfit, the least she can get is dinner and a jet ride out of it."Madam Cara," Marco calls out to Cara as he walks into the sitting room."Cara," Cara corrects him quickly.He nods before he proceeds, "Sir Alexander is currently occupied, I was instructed to drive you to the hangar, where he will meet you."At least she doesn't get to see his face
"Where did you disappear to this morning?" Xander drops his suitcase on the dining table chair and then approaches Cara from behind, placing his hands on her growing baby bump as he places a kiss on her neck. "I love seeing your face when I wake"Cara stops arranging the napkins on the dining table and turns to her handsome distraction with a bright smile on her face. "Hey," She mutters before capturing his lips into hers. Slow, soft, and brief, the kiss is a perfect way to start both their mornings"I was inspired to make breakfast, told the kitchen staff to take the morning off," Cara says as she adjusts his collar."You know, you can't always be giving my staff days off. I pay them for a reason." Xander walks over to the chair where he dropped his suitcase."Same thing I told her," Jonathan appears from nowhere with Xander's suit."Well, some people actually take the day
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
