I opened the door and behold was Xavier.
Right now there was a mixture of both excited and trouble. I was excited because... Well... Can't explain.
I was troubled because if his mother finds out... Did he know what his mother was doing?
Before I could ask what he was doing when he pulled me close hugging me. My heart leaped.
His manly cologne feels my nose. Once again in two weeks, I felt safe. I hugged him back. It felt like a dream. A movie.
Well if it was a dream I don't want to wake up.
What the hell was I doing?! He is going to get married or maybe he has already gotten married!
I was about to pull away, but he held me tighter. "Stay still." He ordered.
Don't know why but my body obeyed that command, my body was betraying me. After what seemed like hours, we pulled away.
But I was surprised by the death glare he sent to me.
"What the hell were you thinking? I never thought you were that stupid." He spat out.
My nostrils flared. The nerves of this guy. Just a moment ago it seemed like he wants me close, safe and all, and now...
"What?"
"Why? Are you deaf? On top of your stupidity?"
The need to strangle him was so strong in me, but I can't do that, so I will just ask him to leave.
"Leave." I gritted out, he didn't seem fazed by it, he was amused.
"Why are you here? Who told you about this place?"
"It is none of your buses-" I was about to snap back.
"You owe me, miss Hayden."
I forget about that. "I'll pay you back." I snapped. "You will?" He was enjoying this.
I hated him so much.
"When?"
"When I have the money."
"By then we would be skeletons." He mused. I shot him a glare.
"You would start working tomorrow."
"What? No! I can't work there, your mother-" I cut myself off.
This was what he was trying to get out of me. To say why I had left. I am sure he figured it out.
"My... Mother...?" He asked unbelievably. His jaw clenched.
"But still, you should have told me personally before leaving."
"I'm sorry. I had to keep my family safe." I whispered.
Just then Layla walked out. Wow. Great timing.
Her eyes landed on Xavier. "Whoa. Who are you?" She said flirty, walking closer. I rolled my eyes.
I stood in front of Xavier before she could get closer. "Layla, meet Xavier my..... Ex boss."
"Xavier... My pleasure meeting you, can I call you Xav?" She asked hopefully. I have never seen her like this.
"No."
"Okay, so... Is there anything going on between you and my sister, Lily?" Sister. She never called me her sister. She was probably asking if anything was going on between us and would make a move if there wasn't.
Nothing was going on. It is a boss and employee thingy.
"Yes." He replied after some time making me choke on my breath. Is choking on your breath normal?
"Oh." Was her reply back.
"No no. Nothing is going on between us... It is just a boss and-" Xavier cuts me off by pulling me to him, our sides touched.
What was he doing?!
"Yes, we are in a relationship." What was he trying to do or say?
"Xavier-" he cuts me off again by pulling me closer to him.
"Okay. Nice to meet you." She said to Xavier, before motioning to me that she was going out. Layla has changed a little lately. She became a little bit softer.
Immediately she was out, I shrugged away from him. "What was that for?! Nothing is going on between the two of us and you're engaged for Christ's sake!" I told him with a scowl on my face.
"I broke off the engagement." He said like it was a casual thing to say.
"Why?"
"I love someone else." He said. I was jealous. Whoever that girl was...
"Oh." That was my reply.
"You're not going to ask me who I'm in love with?" He asked. I didn't want to know and I want to know. It's not wrong in asking who right? I was scared to ask who...
"Ask." He demanded.
Sigh. "W-who?." I asked slowly.
"You."
My heart stopped beating and I should probably be dead. Maybe I didn't hear him well...
"M-me?" Just wanted to be sure.
"Yes." He replied. My heart was beating so fast. It was going to explode any moment from now. He admitted to liking- no love me.
"Oh." I scratched the back of my head. His eyes were piercing through me.
What should I say? What should I do?
I walked out to the balcony, slowly. So many things running through my mind.
I could feel him behind me. "I don't like you," I said after standing on the balcony for a while.
"Your body says another thing." He chuckled. It was so rich.
I liked him. But he is engaged. I broke off the engagement. Oh. Should I tell him I liked him too?
But where would that get us to? I contemplated for a moment. My lips shivering.
I turned to face him.
"I love you too." Okay, I didn't plan on saying love, it just came out without my permission.
I was losing control of my body...
He cupped my face and just like that, our lips crushed together.

Third Person's POV:
Xavier and Lily were having a romantic time, they had confessed their love together. Kissing passionately.
Jack stood a little bit far from them, his jaw and fist clenched. He had given Lily enough space. He was going to go beyond limits to get her back now.
Paisley was in her car watching them both. Her hands tightened on the staring wheel, her knuckles turned pale. She glared at them both with her teary eyes. She wasn't going to let Xavier go.
It felt like a dream. I can't believe this is happening. I was floating on cloud nine, hoping never to come down.Soon we pulled away. His eyes were dark and beautiful... "So... What does this mean? Where does it take us to?""I don't know, what do you think?" He asked raising an eyebrow.My heart was thumping.~After having an unbelievable romance with Xavier, he had left, i and Layla were busy packing our stuff. We were going back to the city.Reason? Because he said I was owed him and he wasn't going to let me stay here. Don't ask me why.That guy was unbelievable.Daisy sat at the table eating her cheese, she looks so cute.I wonder what Xavier would say to his mother, he now knows she was the one who did this. When I had told him earlier, an angry look passed through his handsome face.Xavier likes me. A blush crept to my face. But we are not going to stay at his place, I had told him I didn't want him to do such little things for me. Besides, I have got a little money, enough
"I'm pregnant and it is Xavier's."What? Why did my heart shatter so much when I heard that? She and Xavier have been together for a long time...Maybe.Maybe Xavier and I were never meant to be. This was all a mistake.But you love him.Then I have to stop. I can't. I can't separate a child from his/her father. I stopped the tears from coming out."Congrats," I said to her and she looked shocked. She was probably expecting more reactions from me."Are you going to leave him? You have to leave him, Lily, I grew up without a father and it wasn't good, it caused me so much emotional pain and I don't want the same for my unborn child." She said in a pleading tone.Pleading? She is such a good actress."Yes."She beamed. "You're such a good person. Thank you." With that, she left.I went back in. "Are you seriously going to believe her? She can be lying for Christ's sake!" Layla asked.Are you okay? The first time she asked me that."Yes, yes. I'm okay. Where is Carrie?" I asked."She was
It wasn't Layla, she knows the password to the house.I went closer to the door looking through the peephole. My eyes widened.Jack.What was he doing here?! Should I open the door? Should I not open the door?Ugh! Just hear what he wants to say!No! Don't open the door! Two different voices screamed in my head.I slowly opened the door, standing at the edge. "What do you want." I snapped.I hated seeing his handsome face! Not as handsome as Xavier's though.Seriously?! Now is not the time to compare!"Can I come in?""No. Whatever you want to say, say it here." I know I was being rude but I can't help it, if I try being nice, then I'd start crying, I wanted him to think I was angry.I was mad at him though."Ah. Okay." He said. I waited for him to continue. Did he know about Xavier and Paisley?I was sure he knows Paisley."It's about Carrie." I tensed. He wanted to talk about Daisy. We can't talk about her outside here like this."Come in," I muttered stepping away from the door so
"Layla?" I called immediately after I reached home, "Carrie??" My voice was shaky but my reply was dead silence.What should I do? I have to tell the cops immediately. I think I should go to their office, rather than calling them. I quickly rush to take my phone and purse, before darting out of the house.I called a cab to the nearest cops center, throughout the ride, I couldn't think straight.Did that man do this? Oh god. My Carrie, she must be crying so hard now. I wiped the tears that slipped out of my eyes.I rushed out immediately after the cab stopped. Going in I knew this was a lot of processes. I sighed. I made a complaint and they had asked me where they had been last and where they were going to.I gave them all the necessary information and just like that they had asked me to go home and relax. Relax? Seriously? Who would relax in a situation like this?~One Week Later:It has been a week. A week since I last saw them. The people I love so much... They all leave me at the
I flattered my eyes open. I was on my bed. How did I get here? I was in the living room last night. I tried catching what happened. But it wouldn't come.I slowly got up from the bed and went into the bathroom, I quickly got took my bath and got ready. Another day of searching. I had to do it.Rushing out of the room to the living room, I stopped when I saw food plates on the dining table, who put those there? I moved closer to it. Opening it, my eyes widened.Who kept these here? I was pretty sure this food cost a lot and it smells so good.You're already lost in it? Did a magical goddess come in here last night? Seriously? What the hell am I thinking?! Now is not the time to think of this like this.I sighed. Maybe all of this was my imagination, or somebody did come in here, didn't I lock the door? My eyes caught a paper behind one of the plates."Eat, you are skinny enough." It says. I recognized this handwriting... It was Xavier's. I consciously looked at myself. I've loosed lots
My smile grew.I turned around to see Layla opening the freezer and Carrie poking her teddy bear.They were real."I would prepare something for you now and then you'd go have some rest, you look tired," Layla said as if I was lost and found one.I am surprised she does rare."No no. I'd do that myself, go relax, please." She sighed before walking to a nearby chair and sitting down on it.I have lots of questions to ask her, but what she seems to need right now is to eat and rest.Carrie on the other hand looked so good and so much healthy. I am happy about it, but it only got me more curious.Does Xavier know who did this?Grandma. I remembered what Daisy said earlier.Grandma? She was with grandma?My mom wasn't alive. Jack's mother? That's her only grandma. Lots of questions flew through my mind.The food was ready soon enough. I served it on a plate before putting it on the dining table, Layla had gone to take her bath.Serving Carrie, I watched her as she dug in. Soon Layla came
We drove for like 40 mins, we stopped at a huge mansion. I thought we were going to a restaurant or something. He came out and walked passed me. I scowled.Holding Carrie's hand I trailed behind him. There were men in suits, they stood at the entrance of the house but they separated when I was about to pass. Whoa.I quickly passed, entering a big building, some people were arranging the hall, maybe they were going to be a party, I guess."Yeah, this is her." I saw Xavier talking to a lady, she nodded at me and motioned for me to follow her. I raised an eyebrow confusingly before I followed her.We reached a room, i walked in with her. Did he bring us here so we could sleep here? Of course not, why would he do that? I sat Carrie on the bed. "I suggest you go take a bath now." She said.Why? "I'd be right back." She walked out. I slapped my face frustratingly. I moved to the door where the bathroom must be. And there was a bathtub, I'm pretty sure they had kept something inside that wat
I looked at the time, it was 5 pm already. 'Why isn't he home yet?" Jack closes from office and comes home immediately after. It's been an hour already. I frowned looking at the clock. Maybe he was very busy? Or had somewhere to be? I dialed his number. "The number you're calling cannot be reached.' It said. I sighed. I heard a car pull up. Ah! He's back. I arranged my hair waiting for my husband to come in. The first thing he normally does is attack me with kisses and with a warm smile planted on his face but it wasn't so this time. Jack walked in with anger plastered on his face. He glared at me. " What happened?" I asked him. "You whore!" He snarled. "You thought I wouldn't find out, didn't you? You behave all innocent. You thought you could trick me, fucking other guys behind my back, you slut!" His words were venom. "What are you talking about, Jack? What do you mean I sl-" he cuts me off? "Don't you dare act like you don't know what I am talking about?" He screamed. "I do

Oh god."Please, don't hurt them. I'd do it. I'd leave the country." I pleaded.She smiled. "Then it's done. You'd leave in 30 minutes, but you have to sign this, don't worry. It would be delivered to his office." She brought out a letter, a resignation letter.I gulped. But shouldn't I be happy? I mean, I would be free from that bad debt and I'd have time with me and my family...But the thought of leaving Xavier...With a shaky hand, I picked up the pen and signed it. Her smile got wider. She sure smiles a lot."Okay, you can go now, there should be a car waiting outside for you by now." She mused.I blinked the tears away, why was I even crying? stepping out of the office, so many things was running through my mind. I was going to miss my country.A part of me was going to miss Xavier... What?The lady who had led me in here was at the door, she led me back outside, and she looked at me with pity. I guess she knows her boss wasn't a good person.Soon we reached outside, there was
