Ashely’s POV Nervous could not be described as what I am feeling right now. Today Xander and I are going to his parents house with the intention of spending the weekend over there. I honestly don’t know how to feel about it. I am afraid of what might be his parents' reaction when they see me. Honestly speaking, I am not ready to meet his parents yet but Xander didn’t even give me a chance to say no. Right now we are on our way to his parents house. Denver is driving. Both Xander and I are seated in the back seat. Xander is busy working on his system and has not lifted his head up since the journey started. As for me, I put my head out the window and kept looking at the trees we were passing by. When I got bored, I played games on my phone. After driving for about five hours, we arrive in front of an iron double gate. Two men both wearing black outfit with black glasses and also holding guns in their hands were standing at the side of the door. One of them came closer and when he sa
Ashley’s POV “What do you want from my son? You are not with him just for his money right?”. Xander’s mother asked, still staring at me. I swallowed hard not knowing what to say. I was sold by my parents and your son brought me for a million dollars and made me marry him! That is definitely not what a mother will love to hear. While still thinking of what to say, a lady about my age entered the lounge room. “Mom seriously? Stop trying to scare her away! This is her first time we are supposed to leave a good impression on her! What happened to being the coolest in-laws?” The lady asked. “Thanks for ruining my plans. I almost got her!.” Xander’s mom laughed as she rolled her eyes at the lady. I am actually very confused right now. What does she mean by she almost got me? “Hey! Don’t mind my mom she has been planning on how to scare you since she learnt you guys are coming over. She means no harm. I am Claire by the way. It’s so nice to meet you!.” The lady smiled. “Nice to meet
Early the next morning after breakfast, Claire pulled me out shopping. “Go into the store first, let me park the car. I will follow in after you!”. Claire said when we reached the supposed boutique we were going to shop for. I got out of the car and stared at the boutique. Just from the exterior of the boutique, I know that they sell expensive designer clothes. I expect the Cage’s to shop in places like this seeing how rich and loaded they are. Normally I would have complained about how expensive the dresses here might be but since it is not my money, who am I to complain? And moreover, the dinner event is very important to them and so I have made an appearance in their standard. I entered the boutique and roamed around. The dresses and shoes I got a glimpse of are very beautiful. “Hello, how may I help you?.” The receptionist rudely said to me, I was taken back by such an attitude. That is definitely not a good way to welcome their consumers. Nevertheless, I decided to ignore her
Finally it’s almost time for the Desilver dinner event. For the last two hours, I have been getting ready with the help of a professional makeup artist and stylist. I didn’t get the chance to look at myself in the mirror until she was done. I must admit, I love what she did with my face and my hair. I had informed her that I don’t want heavy makeup and so she did a nude makeup for me. It just enhanced myself but kept my natural look. She also has purple eyeshadow since my dress is purple in color while my lips are nude also. And as for my hair, she packed my hair backward and then permed it into a bridal style. I put on my dress and kept staring at myself in the mirror. The dress is a princess style dress. The hands are off shoulder and it has a long slit that starts from the bottom of the dress to my mid thigh there leaving my left thigh display. The top of the dress is adorned with crystal stones made from real gemstones. I paired the outfit with a pair of silver heels that are al
Ashley’s POV All through the ride to the event venue, I was very nervous and Xander sitting close to me was not helping matters at all. I could feel the heat of his body which was almost touching my skin. I swallow hard and focus my attention on admiring the interior of the car. This is the first time I am seeing a limousine in real life and not only that, I am also entering it. Truthfully it’s now that I understand why the car is always hyped. It actually deserves it. The car is so long, it has two televisions in it and also a fridge and a mini wine cellar. In no time we arrived at the venue. I could see the sea of reporters standing outside waiting for the door to be open. I don’t think I am ready for this. The door opened and Claire went out leaving Xander and I. “Listen, I know that you are nervous. As soon as we get out of the car, keep your head down and don’t respond to any questions. The security will guide us into the hall, understood?”. Xander explained to me and I nodd
Xander’s POV Xander woke up as the sun started to light up the room. Turning his head, he found Ashely with her back against his side, fast asleep; her head using his arm as a pillow. Turning over on his side, he gather her close and buried his face in her hair, she smell sweet and of sex. He sighs as the result was unavoidable, his cock started to harden. As a rule he avoided virgins but with Ashely he was glad he's her first and he plans on being her last. Then he limit himself to only fucking her three times, considering last night was her first time and he doesn't want her to feel any discomfort in the morning. He will have to try real hard to hide the fact that she got him wrapped around her little finger from her and his family. Surprisingly, even his father, who usually hates people in general, likes her. Feeling no hesitation, thinking he would give her more rest than he ever gives any other women, he gently eases her thigh high then slides his hand from her legs to her pu
Two months later~ Ashley’s POV- Two months! It has been two month since the day Xander got shot. Rick was able to send help to us quickly so Xander was saved but he fell into a coma. The doctor said that the bullet missed his heart by just a fraction. I don’t even know what to think of what would have happened if Xander had died. Every day, I stay all day with Xander praying and hoping that he would wake up but he never did. “Please wake up! I need you! Our baby needs you too!.” I whispered into Xander’s ear. Yesterday, I fainted and when the doctor conducted a test on me, it was found that I am two months pregnant! I cried for an hour when the doctor informed me about that. I am happy that we are finally going to become parents. I just hope that he wakes up soon. “Ashely sorry for interrupting you!.” Rick who just entered the room said. Rick has been handling the mafia organizing for the last two months while Xander’s father handles their legal business. We didn’t want to drag t
Ashely’s POVIt has been two weeks since the day Xander woke up and today, he is getting discharged from the hospital. I decided to host him a little get-together at the mansion.His whole family and the high rank mafia officials are invited.“Is the food ready?.” I asked Rose. I am trying my best to make sure everything went as planned.“Yes Mrs Cage. You seriously need to calm down. Everything is ready!. Stop stressing yourself, it’s not good for the baby”. Rose said to me.I signed and let out a dream breath; “he hasn’t been home for almost three months now. I just want everything to be perfect!”. I confessed as I subconsciously rubbed my flat stomach. “We know that. Why don’t you leave everything for us to handle? You just follow Rick to the hospital and bring Sir Xander home?.” Rose suggested.“That will be a good idea. Thanks!.” I appreciated it before I went upstairs to my room to get my bag.Rick drives us to the hospital. We came into Xander’s private ward and met Xander alr
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
