Xander and I eat our food in silence before we move to the club. Xander immediately led us upstairs where the VIP was. Rick and some men were gisting and drinking while a lot of half naked girls strippers danced around them. “Go into the inner room, I will just have a meeting with my men!”. Xander ordered as he push me into the inner room. The place is more quiet and private than the outer part. I sat with my hand folded not knowing what to do. After a while, I looked through the glass separating the two sides and saw Xander comfortably seated with a stripper sitting on his lap. It seems as if she is giving him a lap dance. The Nerves of him! He kept me here doing nothing while he was having fun. I angrily walked to the fridge and took a drink for myself. Perks of being in the VIP. I picked a glass from the shelf and poured myself a drink and immediately took it all at once. I nearly threw up because of how bitter the drink tasted and it burned in my mouth. “Drinking now are we?”
I left the club and rushed to the bush beside the parking lot and threw up. After that, I sat on a bench close by. I started to reflect on how my life has gone from bad to the worst and the years gone by. Is there really no room for happiness in life? I thought about it. Still lost in my thoughts, I did not notice when a man sat next to me until he grabbed me. “Annie my wife, I missed you so much!” The man moved to hug me as I freed myself from his hold. I stood up from the bench and tried to run away before I was pulled back by my hair. And my back meets his chest. “W-why are you trying to run away from m-me Anna? Do you think I am going to let you go? Never! N-Not again!”. The man screamed. From his sloppy words, I knew he was drunk. Just great! I have to run into a drunk man who thinks I am his wife whom I am sure left him. “Hey mister! Let go of my hair! I am not your wife. There is a misunderstanding somewhere!”. I pleaded with him but he held my hair tighter. I look around
Ashley’s POV Just as I started to enjoy my sleep. A loud knock on my door brought me out of lala land. I frown as I sit up. Who could it possibly be? And why is the person knocking at my door at this time of the night? It better not be Xander because I am tired of his psycho behaviors. I stood up from the bed and went and open the door. It’s Rick, I became confused on what he might possibly want. "Ashely," he says my name in relief as he comes to me. He pulls me into a hug. "I need your help," he says and my confusion only increases. ""The boss needs your help. He was shot and he can't get the bullet out," he says and I stiffen. No way was I going to fall interested in this trap. “Let me get this right, Xander Is hurt and you want me to help pull the belt out of him?”. I pointed at myself. “Yes please. He is in a lot of pain!.” Rick uttered and I smiled. Serve him right! “I am sorry but I can’t help him!.” I flatly uttered. “Why?.” Rick asked. “With the way he has been treati
Ashley’s POV I stirred up in my sleep and felt myself lying on a hard warm surface. Strangely, my bed is very soft and silky last I remember. And then the event that happened last night clicked into my head. I immediately opened my eyes and saw that I am lying down on Xander naked chest while his hand is around my waist and our legs are tangled together. How did we end up here? “Ahhhh!” I let out a loud scream as I tried to release myself from Xander’s hold. But his hold on is too much and I could not get him to let me go no matter how much I move. “Stop moving!.” Xander huskily said with his eyes still closed. His grip on me became stronger but that did not prevent me from still moving. “Geez stop moving if you don’t want to start something you can’t finish!.” Xander histed as if he was in pain. Xander opened his eyes and turned us around in such a way that I was laying on my back on the bed while he was above me. “What do you mean?.” I asked confused before my eyes widened whe
Xander’s POV “Holy moly crap!!! My virgin eyes!!” The person screamed. I froze with my lips in Ashely boobs while her eyes wide in shock. I quickly got up from the bed and covered Ashely up with the duvet. I finally turned around to face the intruder. It is my annoying younger brother Chase. “Is this how you enter someone's room without knocking?.” I frowned at him. I went closer to him and pulled him out of the room and closed the door to give Ashely some privacy. “Well you never had a problem with it besides how would I have guessed that you are with someone. You usually don’t bring your flings to your room.” Chase defended himself. “Still that does not give you the right to barge into my room as early as this in the morning!” I uttered. “Fine! I am sorry it’s not going to repeat itself. By the way, who is that girl? It’s definitely not Samantha. Did you find a replacement for her?”. Chase curiously asked. “No, that's a wife you fool!” I am very sure he had already heard that
Ashley’s POV Just then the door of the room opened. “Holy moly crap!!! My virgin eyes!!” The person screamed. Xander and I both frosted at the same time. His lips were still on boobs and my hand was in his hair. If it was another situation, I would have found this funny. Xander quickly got up at the speed of light and covered me with the duvet which I am grateful for. “Is this how you enter someone's room without knocking?.” Xander scolded the intruder and pulled him out of the room and then closed the door. It took me a minute to calm myself down. I blushed when I thought about what was happening before we were interrupted. I can’t believe I allowed Xander to touch me like this without any remorse. The thing that shocked me the most is that I would have allowed him to have his way with me if not because we were interrupted. My biggest issue now is how I am going to face him again. I put in my nightie back and got up from the bed. I quietly opened the door and saw that Xander an
Unknown POV~ I was sitting at the corner of the club drinking when I saw the two girls enter the club. One of them is wearing red while the other is wearing a black dress. They are both very generous but the one who really caught my attention is the one wearing the black dress. She looks out of the world. Young and innocent! Just like how I like my women. I sat and watched them walk to the bar. They both ordered their drinks. After a while, the one wearing the red dress stood up and went to the dance floor. Perfect! Just the opportunity I have been waiting for. I stood up and went over to where the lady in black was sitting. I took my seat next to her, which is the seat the lady in red got up from. “What is a pretty girl like you doing sitting alone in the bar?.” I asked her but I got no response from her and so I decided to try again. “Care for a dance?.” I asked her to bring out my hand but she didn’t respond again but took a sip of her drink. “B*tch!” I said and stood up and
Xander’s POV I excused myself from Ashely's presence after making sure that she was okay. “Boss how is she now?.” Jo asked me when I went out of Ashely’s room. “She is stable. I will be gone for a while, I am leaving her in your care. Guard her with your life!” I instructed Jo. “Sure Boss!” Jo said. I beacon on Rick to come along with me. Just at the end of the corridor, I meet Stacy standing there looking like a scared cat. “Xander I am …” she started to say but I passed her. I seriously don’t want to talk to her right now because I might regret what I would say to her: I have already promised Ashely that I wouldn’t blame or quarrel with Stacy for what happened to her. So the best option for me right now is to avoid having a conversation with Stacy until my fury is over. Rick and I both entered the car and Rick drove us since the doctor warned me about driving until my wound has healed up. We drove to the eastern part of the state and arrived in a gigantic mansion after drivin
Two months later.“I now present Mr and Mrs Xander Cage. You may now kiss the bride.” The officiant Priest announced.Without waiting to be told twice, Xander pulled his wife to a kiss. He had meant to kiss her since she walked into the chapel looking like an angel in her wedding gown. She is putting on a ball dress gown to hide her four months pregnancy from the public eye.Xander captured Ashely’s lip and kissed her as if he was starving for her. Which he is. The women had kept Ashely away from him for three days. Three days! He nearly went insane because he was already used to sleeping with Ashely at his side.The officiant Priest cleared his throats to get the attention of the newly wedded couple who seems to be lost in passion.“Please save the rest for the honeymoon!.” The officiant Priest Priest teases the couple as the congregation cheered at his words.Xander stopped kissing Ashely as he placed his forehead on hers."I love you so much, Mrs Ashely Xander Cage”. Xander said t
Lisa’s POV “Hello Xander? Chase has been shot! I said immediately I said into the phone.“What? How? When?” Xander asked me. His voice has changed from being rude to worried.I briefed what happened to him. I heard the siren of the ambulance coming. He told me that he would meet us in the hospital and cut the call.“Chase. I called your brother!.” I told Chase. He was already blank out.“Chase! Chase! Please wake up!.” I cried out as I tried to wake him but his eyes were still closed.“Chase please wake up!”. I burst into tears. This is all my fault. The man was obviously after me and Chase ended up being the victim. Heck if I haven’t left the hall, then none of this wouldn’t have happened.“Mam and you move a little bit?.” The medical people asked.I didn't realize they were here already. I moved back and they picked Chase up and took him into the ambulance.“Are you coming with us?.” One of them asked me.“Yes!.” I answered and entered the ambulance.“Can you tell us what happened?.
Xander’s POV It has been two weeks since the day I woke up from coma and today, I am getting discharged from the hospital. I was happy to finally get out of here because I hate the hospital. Whenever I got shot or hurt, I usually have my doctor come over to the house and treat me there. But here I am, I have spend about two and the half month in the hospital. Although I was in coma for the greater part of it, i dreath everything moment I spend awake here.I was waiting for Ashely to come and sign me out. Talking about Ashley, she has been babying me since I woke up. She won’t allow me to do even the little things myself. On the noms, I will hate what she is doing because I hate having someone take care of me, but right now, I am enjoying every moment of it.I was so impressed with her when Rick told me how she handled Xavier my rival who shot me. I wished they had the whole thing on camera.I wonder why she isn’t here yet. She is supposed to have arrive by now. I have already change
Chase POV It has been three weeks since I last heard from Lisa. These three weeks have been the worst days of my life.I try calling her every day but she nervously picks her phone. When I drop by her house to check on her, Her friend Claire will always inform me that she isn’t around even though I know that it’s a lie.The worst part of everything is how Henry brags about spending time with her whenever we meet. I hate every moment of it.I am also afraid that maybe Lisa has fallen out of love with me and is now in love with Henry. But I refused to believe that. I would not let her go and fight for her no matter what happens. I know she needs space and so I will give that to her.I confided in my brother Xander for some advice on what to do because I don’t want to mess things up with her. Xander had just woken up from a coma. He was shot by a rival gang, luckily enough he survived. Xander advised me that if I really want to settle down with Lisa, then it’s time to let go of Clara a
Lisa’s POV I present to you three weeks of rejected calls, ignored messages and massive loneliness. I know of a person who is nothing but sadness and loneliness and that person is me.There is neither love or light in my life.Yeah, the sun rises but it has been ages since it shone on me.I know, that's how unfortunate I am came think of it, I deserve an award.The award for the biggest hypocrite and liar goes to Lisa. I may seem over Chase but only my pillow and I know the untold tears that explain the longingness in my heart. The distance between us was to make me forget him but it just made me realize that I love this son of a man.I don't know how it happened or when it happened but I love him.If only he would want me as I want him with fire and passion.If only I was never an option.If only he had eyes for me, If only.I felt tears burning behind my eyes but I refrained from crying.I continued whisking the cocoa to remove any lumps so as my chocolate buttercream frosting would be per
Chase’s POV I don't know for what reason but I believe you will come. I might be the biggest as*hole in the universe but you always understand me. In my darkest moment, I think of you. In my sorrows, I need you. Even though it seems hopeless to wait, I still believe.I leaned on the wall beside the door, waiting for her who weirdly knew how to restore my sanity. I take another strong sip of whisky but it doesn't really dull the ache in my chest. Stupid whisky, you were supposed to help me forget this torture for a while if not a while please a few seconds would go a long wayI know she will come. I sighed, biting my trembling lips. Second after second I would check my phone desperately. It was only thirty minutes later and I feel like it's eternity. She will come. She would never want to see me hurt or broken.One hour later, Maybe she is just stuck in traffic. Maybe she decided to walk here . Maybe she took a longer shower today.Maybe the taxi's tyre got punctured. Maybe!Maybe!Maybe
Present time*****"Do you need a hug?" He asked and I nodded wordlessly. He caged me into his strong arms and squeezed me a little tighter...I rested my head on his shoulder fighting hard the tears that were making my eyes pepperish."You can just let it all out..."Just what I wanted to hear.I sobbed profusely for what seemed like eternity and all he did was rub my back soothingly. Even though you have hurt me in the past, I can't stand the fact that I bruised your ego...I hope Ian is right and this torture is worth it...I rather die than see your hurt.That's how much you mean to me.That's it Lisa. He is not worth all those tears you have shed."I guess I am already dehydrated..." I pulled back and he handed me his handkerchief."I don't mind if you feel you still want to let it all out...""I am sorry that your denim jacket is all stained with my tears...""I don't mind as long as you are okay...""Let me prepare some sandwich, there is some brawn in the fridge. I hope you are as hun
Lisa’s POV I dropped on my knees as my dam broke. My tears were uncontrollable. When I met him all I thought was, "Damn it's gonna break me when you leave..." And I was right. Crying is a way your eyes speak when your mouth can't explain how you are feeling inside.Henry knelt in front of me and wrapped me in his arms. I wish they made me feel home like Chase's did but all I could feel was been engaged for comfort. He soothed me and promised everything would be okay, over and over and over again but I doubted it .When he lifted my face to look at him,my sobs increased and no words were courageous enough to leave my lips."He is not worth your tears. If you mean something to him then he will fight for you..." He wiped my tears with his thumbs but they were so stubborn."He is Chase, he will never change Lisa..." He cussed out with so much rage in his voice."Do you think he will choose me?" I asked in a dry hoarse voice."If he really likes you then he will...""I want him too Henry.
Lisa’s POV My jaw dropped the moment I saw him.Wasn't he supposed to be in LA? What was he doing here? No, this must be just a dream. For seconds, we just stared into each other's eyes and didn't utter a word. I shook my head with my eyes closed and when I opened them, he was still there smiling. He is really here.I am not hallucinating."Hey Lisa, why do you look shocked? It's me Chase..."I looked at him one more time and realized he had in the same outfit as that night we met in that club.The cap and the glasses made him look more like my Chase and not the star player. Seeing him like this brought a sharp pain altogether. I recalled how he lied to me about his identity and since then it has always been one lie after the other.He had the box with that dress he bought me on his left hand and a bouquet of roses on the other hand."What do you want Chase?" I trembled .I was trying so hard not to cry in-front of him."I wanted to apologize for standing you up yesterday...""She needed
