SLOWLY AND GENTLY (FORTY THREE)
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56It was not a pleasant morning to start the day. Lexie woke up with all the things that felt bad in her heart and body. Her heart was broken by Rafe's depraved deeds. Her physique was even more traumatized. Pain in all joints. Especially in the core of her body. That's unbelievably awful. She even had to grit her teeth before she moved aside to lie on her back from her sideways position. The pain is excruciating. It hurt more than the bruises she usually got from falling or hitting something. Maybe psychological factors also affect her current condition. Some of her friends she knew had sex with their boyfriends seemed fine at school. They actually seem happier and deliberately share their experiences with their friends who have never had sex.
Anything based on love always ends happily. Lexie sneered at herself for her misfortune. She was forced to have sex that she didn't want. No matter how gentle Rafe did, she still felt sick and sore.
Tears fell from her eyes again.

"Argh shit!"Wren almost threw his cell phone against his bedroom wall. All this sucks for him. Rafe deliberately ignores calls from him, even though his cellphone is active. Every call he makes will only give him a call waiting tone without a single answer.He sat slumped on the hotel bed he had just rented. It had been over five hours since he had arrived in Las Vegas and gone looking for Lexie. But Lexie wasn't anywhere. Rafe had hidden Lexie somewhere he couldn't find. He had circled the airport area more than twice. He rents a car and drives around Las Vegas only for nothing, Lexie is nowhere to be found. He even went to some of Rafe's casinos all over Las Vegas, but Rafe and Lexie weren't there. Rafe seemed to have read through his plan that he would visit his casinos looking for Lexie.Wren flung himself onto the bed and groaned in frustration. His appearance was very messy. His hair is disheveled. This was the biggest loss he had ever experienced. How co

"Eat slowly. I'm not taking it from you, Brittany.""This is my favorite food." She smirked and put a big piece of french toast in her mouth.Her mouth movements were fast and excited. There was white whipped cream at the corner of her lips mixed with strawberry sauce. Rafe looked at her like he wanted to lick it then put Brittany's lips in his mouth. It must have tasted as sweet as the french toast Brittany was enjoying. But better, because it contains Brittany's sexy lips."I'm afraid you'll choke if you eat too fast like that." Rafe took a tissue and rubbed the corners of Brittany's lips. He was still sane enough not to become a maniac in the middle of a cafe bustling with the breakfast wave.“Oops, did I eat like a pig? Is there still whipped cream on my lips?”"Not anymore. You're beautiful again."“Your mouth is really poison. But thank you. Why don’t you eating?"Brittany pointed to Rafe's plate which wa

The first word that came out of his mouth was a harsh curse formed from an anger that had been building up in his heart since last night. Wren might explode worse than this, but he was pressing himself hard enough not to explode like dynamite. After all he needed to keep his sanity on the verge of normal so he could think about confronting Rafe.“Easy Wren, Lexie is fine with me.”There were chuckles and noises like people talking to each other all around. Wren guessed Rafe was somewhere busy. There was also the sound of footsteps and the clanging of the elevator."Where are you, bastard? I wouldn't be surprised that you managed to find me and Lexie. Let go of Lexie, Rafe. She has the right to determine her own life.”“Not after she made a pact with me. I need you to check on Lexie. Come to my house at three. I'll send you the address."“Damn it, what did you do to her? Is she hurt? What?"Wren pounded the surfa

Don't know what time it is, Lexie suddenly woke up to a soft knock on her door. Then Jacob's voice came softly from outside, telling her to get up. "What is it?" asked Lexie hoarsely. She saw that the sky outside had grown dimmer and not as hot as this afternoon. Three o'clock in the afternoon. Lexie looked at the pink hello kitty clock on the wall above the dresser in front of her bed. “Mr. Wilder is waiting for you downstairs. You get a visit from Mr. Wren." Wren? Lexie quickly jumped out of bed. She ran her fingers through her hair and made sure she looked pretty neat in the mirror. After that she rushed out of her room and surprised Jacob who was still standing in front of her door. "Where's Wren? You said Wren was here." "He's downstairs. Was talking to Mr. Wilder." Lexie ignored Jacob who was trying to keep up with her pace. She shot up at an astonishing speed over the marble staircase and then downstairs in a few seconds. There was no gasping for breath, her stomach didn

Cooper removed his shooting glasses and earplugs when one of his men came in with his cell phone screaming loudly. Cooper set the Baretta M9 on the table and moved away from the booth to shoot. Sweat dripped down his forehead. He was annoyed by the interruption from his men, but he didn't show any angry expression and just took his cell phone from his men's palms. "Who are you?" "I want to do business with you." Cooper frowned. The person he was talking to was definitely not one of his colleagues. The person hid his number and disguised his voice using laryngeal electro. He couldn't do business with someone who was clearly hiding his identity from him. “I only do business with people I know. If you want to do business with me, you must give me your identity.” "I can't. It's about Rafe Wilder. I want to do business with you to destroy Rafe.” “Are you one of his colleagues that Rafe let down?” Cooper chuckled. “Rafe keeps your allies in his house. Gideon Frost. Rafe hadn't killed
THE BILLIONAIRE WANTS HER SUDDEN INCIDENT (FORTY NINE)
When Lexie came down from her room after a very long shower, she found Rafe talking to someone on the phone. Rafe didn't even glance at her when she came into the living room and took her place on the single sofa. But Lexie didn't even care about Rafe's response to her appearance this morning. She just took a long dress carelessly from the closet. She thought it was the dress that appealed to her the most. The color is mint with elbow-length sleeves and of course warm because it's made of wool. In addition, Lexie also wore a scarf and shoes given by Wren. She wouldn't trade those shoes for fancy shoes from her closet because she valued the things Wren gave her so much."You're deliberately lingering in the bathroom?"Rafe turned to look at her after tucking his phone into his jeans pocket. Lexie just realized that this morning Rafe was not wearing a suit as usual. He wore dark blue denim and a black long-sleeved sweeter. Her appearance is very masculine. His dark hair was combed neatl

Suddenly they heard a loud bang and their car swayed. Jacob lost control of his very fast car. The car swerved to the right, onto a brown sandy road with dust splattering everywhere as Jacob tried to regain control of the car. "They shot the right tire. Hold on, Lexie." Rafe shouted loudly while watching his pursuers behind him. Lexie closed her eyes and hugged the car seat tightly. Her head was pressed against the soft surface of the chair as the shaking grew louder and uncontrollable. Their car stomped on anything they passed on the road as Jacob tried to stop his insane speed. Dust scattered everywhere, shrouding the car so Jacob couldn't see anything in front of him. Lexie coughed as the desert dust was sucked into her lungs because Rafe had left his car window open to fire on their pursuers. He tried to shoot his pursuer through the open window and didn't seem at all concerned with his car that had sped away on a gravel desert road with torn tires. He trusted Jacob to be in con
THE BILLIONAIRE WANTS HER FRIEND OF FOE (FIFTY ONE)
Lexie shifted restlessly in her seat. She repeatedly turned to Rafe and checked Rafe's worrying condition. Rafe sweated profusely on his forehead. He was closing his eyes, but his mouth was hissing softly in pain. The red hue on Rafe's lips slowly faded to a frighteningly pale white. Lexie tried to put the back of her hand on Rafe's forehead, his body was hot. Rafe catches a fever because his wounds may start to get infected. "Rafe, can you hear my voice?" Rafe didn't respond. Just keep his eyes closed and his lips hissing hoarse. Lexie bit her lip nervously seeing Rafe who was so weak with such an alarming condition. Every time the car shook, Rafe's head, leaning against the window, hit the window sill. Hesitantly she moved Rafe's head to rest on her shoulder, then she hugged Rafe's body tightly with one hand. She would forget for a moment her hatred for Rafe for all the things Rafe had done to her. Her human side won this time. She couldn't let Rafe face his pain a

Lexie watched Rafe leave in silence. Guilt gripped her heart because Rafe saw her with Justin. Although it is unlikely that anything will happen between her and Justin, but Rafe seems quite jealous of their closeness. She was just grateful that Xena was sleeping soundly now. She couldn't imagine what would have happened if it had been Xena. "Come on Lexie. We have to hurry because we have wasted quite a bit of time.” Justin led her to the elevator. His arms were still slung over her shoulders and he pressed the lobby button for both of them after the elevator doors closed. "Is he still rude?" "What?" Lexie asked looking up. "Your husband. I used to see you cry because of that man. Is he still as rude as before?” "Sometimes." Lexie answered half dreamily. No marriage is absolutely flawless. There are always fights and arguments in every marriage relationship. Even she couldn't keep herself away from all domestic troubles. Rafe or Xena h

"Dance with me, lady?"Lexie looked up, left her cherry juice and smiled gently at the man who had just reached out in front of her. She didn't waste the opportunity to dance with this handsome man and took his outstretched hand in front of her face."Of course. It's an amazing party and I can't miss dancing with a guy like you." Lexie smiled gently.The man led her to the center of the ballroom, joining another couple who had already started their dance. His wide palm gripped Lexie's tiny palm which was so soft. He smiled widely at everyone, as if he was celebrating his success in persuading a princess to dance with him."Beautiful music. Thank you for asking me to dance."Lexie pressed herself against the man, holding on to his sturdy shoulders and they began to move in sync with the melodious classical music. The soft violins play beautiful notes with the rest of the orchestra. Lexie closed her eyes while following every movement made by her dan

Tonight was really fun for Rafe because he was in the midst of a harmonious complete family. There is a father-in-law who is so kind to him, a lover or a future wife or maybe his wife and an adorable son. They had dinner together happily at the dining table. There were loud laughter from his father-in-law and spoiled whimpers from Archer if Lexie started forbidding him to do this and that. Everything seemed so good to Rafe that he was reluctant to return to his miserable life in New York. If he could, he wanted to be in the midst of this family forever. And in order to make his wish come true, he needed to improve the conditions between himself and Lexie. He needed to make it clear to Lexie that he wanted a complete family and didn't want to live apart like he used to. “Archer is asleep?” Rafe deliberately waited for Lexie in front of her bedroom. Tonight he was supposed to sleep in Kaella's room, but he hadn't been in Kaella’s room since then and had just stood by t

Fifteen minutes later they arrived at Lexie's beautiful two-story house filled with various kinds of plants in the front yard. Rafe was almost surprised to see so much change in the house. The last time he came here, the house had no woody trees. But now the front of Lexie's house was filled with giant pots filled with woody trees that were struggling to grow into giant-sturdy trees. The flowers that were once only planted in two small pots, have grown into a bunch of colorful flowers that have been transplanted into the ground. "There have been a lot of changes in this house." “My father used the garden next to the house as a garage because it wasn't safe to park the car just on the side of the road. Sometimes there are naughty children who scribble on the car body with spray paint. Some time ago our neighbor was screaming hysterically because his Mercedes Benz had been scribbled with a series of obscene swear words.” “Your father has done the right thing as

Rafe stepped off the plane and was greeted by a light drizzle in late summer. The soothing scent of wet earth relaxes him for a moment. A little man who will be his driver today to go to Lexie's house has just opened an umbrella near the plane steps, getting ready to umbrella him. Rafe actually had absolutely no problem walking in the rain. This is really refreshing and can wash away a little bit of his anxiety that is thickening more and more. "Thank you. Before we go to Lexie's house, I will pick up my son at his day care. He'll be home in thirty minutes." The man nodded after handing the umbrella handle to him. Rafe walked slowly behind the man to his car which was parked near the hangar. He inhaled strongly the scent of summer which was about to fade and be replaced by the cold, gray scent of autumn. Time flies so fast, and he hasn't been able to summon Xena back so he can surface like he used to. "Please come in, sir." The man grabbed the handle

Lexie stepped aside for a moment from the commotion of the bridal shower which was really noisy and excited. Tomorrow morning Kaella will marry her lover, and today will be her last day as a single. So everyone was excited to have a party in one of the finest suits at a five-star hotel in Charleston. Her cell phone has been ringing loudly ever since. She had ignored the call because she was pinning the crown for the bride-to-be and taking pictures with the rest of Kaella's friends. Now she would pick up Rafe's call and talk to him because Rafe must have called her for something important. “Hi Honey, sorry for not picking up your call. I was at Kaella's bridal shower. It's very noisy in here. Tomorrow you will come to her wedding right?” Lexie finally found a comfortable and quiet place to talk to Rafe. While everyone was partying like crazy in Kaella's suit room. She has a balcony which is very quiet and with a beautiful view of the city of Charleston. Folly Beach wa

Xena looked to the side, at the statue of the cross that soared up to the church ceiling. He imagined the look on his face that looked ridiculous as he said those bullshit words. There is no love in his heart. It should be like that. But strangely he felt love when he was with Lexie. At first he felt loved, and more and more he felt like loving. It was the most complicated reciprocal relationship he had ever experienced. His week-long trip to Chicago wasn't strictly business. He purposely distanced himself from Lexie to reflect on all this. Does he really love Lexie? Did he really want to be with Lexie forever? And after a week of excruciating contemplation, he finally came to the one answer that he wanted all of that. He wanted to love Lexie, he wanted to be with Lexie, and he wanted to make Lexie happy. Unfortunately this body does not belong to him. He couldn't be selfish by removing Rafe forever from this body. And he had to do something to fix all of this."Xena... are y

There are so many things that it can sometimes be confusing to the point of misleading. Some of them sometimes appear in the form of secrets that are difficult to understand. Like Xena and Rafe who are very elusive. Even though they live in the same body, they have two separate elements. Had they come together, the two of them would probably have been a formidable fusion of two elements. It would create a man with the perfect personality. It should be like that. But in reality it is not easy to unite two elements that are already separated.Lexie stood on the balcony alone looking up at the starry night sky. Tonight the air is very warm, suddenly she couldn't sleep because she was thinking about many things. First she thought of Xena who suddenly disappeared without a word. The rest of the day she spent thinking about the man's whereabouts now and the possibility if Xena and Rafe fused into one unified element. It would definitely be great if they could unite to occupy their

"Wren! I can't believe it's you." Lexie hugged Wren very tightly after she opened the front door wide and told Wren to come in. It's really an unexpected surprise that she can meet Wren who is now super busy. After a week of living in New York, Lexie finally got to meet Wren. "Long time no see and you are getting more beautiful and sexy." Wren chuckled as he patted Lexie's shoulder a few times. God only knows how badly he missed this woman. He had lost track of Lexie ever since Lexie disappeared and Rafe gave him a stern warning not to try to get someone to track her down. "You say I'm sexy? No way. I got fatter after giving birth. Come in." "But you actually look sexier. You used to be so skinny, you know. I prefer your new look." Wren studied Lexie's body from head to toe. Her long hair has now been cut shorter with a very beautiful wavy style at the ends. Lexie gained weight of course because her arms and curves were now more beautiful than
