Taming The Billionaire Chapter 26:
Nicole had never imagined, even in her wildest dreams, that she would be seated across three men, and actually eat dinner with them.It was inconsiderable, since, she had only had dinner with few people, such as her twin brother, and her father, and maybe her friend Ethan, but now, them- Zane, Lucas and Xander, three daring hot men seated in her presence, what possibly could go wrong?"Pass the jam." Zane who sat beside her, whispered into her ear, leaning in closely, because he wanted to annoy Xander? His hands deliberately brushed against her and he let out a low chuckle.Nicole managed to hiss at his cocky behavior, but she stretched her hand and passed over the jar of fresh jam. He stretched the knife until it spread across his muffin, before he took a bite."Your mother left some noddles for dinner." For the first time, Lucas spoke up, his voice digging deep into the atmosphere.Was it just her or she had never had him speak long sentence? He was always quiet, trailing behind one
Taming The Billionaire Chapter 27:
Three days later, Nicole had never expected she would be sitting between her friends. Emma and Arya, as they chatted away.Her mind trailed away to Xander, her breath suddenly hitching, was he planning to kiss her? Was he planning to do wicked things? She felt her skin crawling and her cheek getting puffed up a bit. She leaned on the chair, sipping the water."Nicole?" Someone jerked her shoulders but she didn't care. "Are you there?" The jerk pierced through her bone, and only then did she look up, with a controversial sigh."Huh?" She said, her hands fiddling around the table."Is something wrong?" Arya crouched her brows slowly, her voice lacing with concern. "You seem odd lately."Nicole bit her lower lips, even they noticed, they picked it out, was she bad at hiding her emotions? Or they just figured out.Her head tilted to their side, and she tried to smile, even when she knew she couldn't. She still tried, and as always, it failed, her lips only ended up being curled and she si

His gaze settled on the woman who crouched on the floor, her eyes teary, something about her that he knew.... Her blonde hair was scattered amid her face and her amber dark eyes probed around the surroundings probably scared, afriad of the surroundings,She didn't knew people like this existed, she didn't even knew a place like this existed. The underworld reeked of intimacy, it reeked of alcohol, it reeked of hell.He tried to study her, there was only a family that possessed such trait, the Denver Family, He stared, watched, and even clicked his lips. Was she one of the triplets? The only thing he knew was that, their name was something Claire, Clara or something and the other that he couldn't quite remember.Her face paled slowly, and she sobbed, her sound enchanting to the ears for someone who loved seeing people in pain, but her sobs brought Xander no pleasure. It irked him, her melodious sobs irritated him to the core, the way she tilted her head made him only want to creep out

Her rapped skin seemed to have flushed red, and her face light pink, she still yelled, nearly controlling herself from bursting unto tears."Just have me!" She yelled, her voice coming out crack. "Isn't that the only thing you wanted to do with me? Just do it now and forget about me!" She fell to the floor, her voice breaking into tears. She covered her palm with her face, and sobbed it all away. "That's what you always do." Her hair wrapped around her face, layers dripping down her face."If you end up in a crisis, just cry." Her mother had said to her, and she never understood the meaning of her mother's words, but today, she did. She understood it perfectly.No matter how she tried to do it, it would never work. Her emotions seemed to have took a better part of her, and she ended up crawling in the floor, her chest heaving, slowly, upward then downward in a painful manner.Kane watched her with fire lurking in his throat, he wanted her badly, was it normal because her sobs only see
Taming The Billionaire Chapter 30:
Nicole had never found it a norm, but it happened that every Tuesday evenings, she always dropped by Aunt Nova's, her mother's best friend house, to catch a quick hello to her favorite cousin, and maybe, having an adult talk with Aunt Nova. It seemed weird but she considered Aunt Nova as family, yes, she wasn't just family, she was their blood, she was a Hart now, and Nicole could give her all for her.She stood in front of the door, before she knocked on it gently, the door bobbed open gently, and a pair of hands pulled her into a hearty hug."Nicole." The voice was sweet to her ears, but the woman switched it to, "Niccy." She tapped her shoulders lightly, before leading her into the room.Damien Hart, Aunt Nova's son, gazed up to look at her from the couch, a bright smile forming in between his lips as he focused back to the screen. "Aunt Niccy," He smiled at her.Sh twitched her lips upward gently, walking towards the sofa, before she slumped on it gently, she gazed around the room
Taming The Billionaire Chapter 31:
His legs glued to the floor, the hot sun scorching around his face, he wiped a strand away turning to face her.She walked towards him hurriedly, taking gentle steps. "I never got to know your name Sir. Incase.." The wind trampled her dark hair and layers rumpled around her face, she stood fixated to the floor, until her hands made way to her face before she placed a bit back in stock, a quiet sigh emitting her nostrils.He turned around, to freakin' look at her. Her eyes bulged slightly, and she stepped back, trying to control her fast beating heart.He was walking towards her, slow, steady steps that felt like a thousand steps, but it was just a few and in the next second he was in her presence, his figure hovering around her, his eyes dark and misty, as he gazed at with an uneven stare.He cupped her chin harshly, so much, she thought it would snap into two, she winced slightly, her voice breaking. "Sir.""It's Zane." He released his grip, his hands swiping across her jaw, a bolt o
Taming The Billionaire Chapter 32:
In all his life, ever since he was born, no one had ever said those words to him, even if they had. It was always the opposite, but today, someone, not just someone, Emily Hart was giving him a compliment that didn't sounded as an insult.It felt good, the word refreshed into his brain, and melted his heart, he grew fluttered, and his collarbones flashed a lighter shade of red.Emily smiled to him; those smile that reflected one's happiness, her curve were graciously genuine and her lips parted apart for a brief second, before she leaned on the chair. "This is one of the better dates that my mother had set up, for once, I feel like I am floating." She grabbed the drink, and fiddled with the straw in between.Was he supposed to reply to her words? Because he felt as if his whole tongue was glued, he couldn't say anything, and the only thing evident was just a twitch of the lips.What was wrong with him? He was Lucas, the feared Mafia of the underworld, they respected him, they feared h
Taming The Billionaire Chapter 33:
Xander watched, with particularly no interest at all, as Kane popped the champagne, before lowering the liquid into his cup, "Drink up, Xander." Kane patted him in the shoulder lovingly, like a mother forcing her teenage sons to eat.Xander held the bottle before he chugged the sixth bottle into his mouth, he leaned on the chair as he watched the underworld bubble with noises, smokes of cigar, the stench of the people, it was suffocating, but for him, it was considered his therapy. It made him relax a little, and what better way to relax than to be with someone everyone considered a god? Kane."So, Xander. Tell me about this your wife." Kane stared at him, taking in another bottle. "Can I have her? For just one night?""Don't you dare do anything with her!" Xander growled, his head hurting badly, if there was one thing, he had an high alcohol resistance. He could have as many bottles as he wished. But hearing Kane say disgusting things about his wife intensified his anger, it brought

Morning arrived far earlier than Nicole thought, she groaned into her pillow, shutting her eyes away from the light that had blinded her, last night, when she hopped into bed in her undergarments. She had wished for Xander to join her so they could talk.It's surprising how she, Nicole Hart, wanted to actually talk with Xander Castillo, not flirting, just talking. Natural talking, but he said he had somewhere to be, she couldn't forget the disappointment that panged her heart when he left her alone.She had stared up at the ceiling before she finally closed her eyes to the web of sleep, now she was awoken and wondering how she would start her day.The door pushed open and a maid trolled in, her face white as morning, "Young Mistress, I already picked out your clothes for the morning, also. I picked the hairstyle you would like to braid."Nicole threw the sheets over her body, before her feet touched the ground, she faced the maid and said bluntly. "Pick a shirt and a trouser for me, I

Nicole's hand flicked towards the pages, she stared at the type-written words on the paper, it didn't seem to fascinate her one bit.She was on the swing in the garden, inhaling the fresh smell of flowers. Her mind darted around.Xander. She almost scoffed at the perspective, he didn't trust her, yet after everything they had shared. He didn't fucking trust her.She snapped the crisp book shut before bobbing out of the swing, she was thirsty, so she headed towards the kitchen.After taking out a bottle of water, she walked towards the dining room. Xander's father was there. His hands skimming through a book, she thought of going, but when he eyes met her. He said simply."Come and sit."She took a seat as instructed, and peeled open the bottle of water.He chuckled lightly, staring at her. "You look so much like your father. Those gray eyes are always watching me, like he was trying to read me." He snapped the book shut. "That's what you are doing too.""Oh." She hadn't even realized,

Zane's shoe huffed on the floor hurriedly, as he passed by the halls, something unsettling was deep down in the pit of his stomach, it twisted his gut. He had felt that sickening feeling years ago when he knew something was going to happen.Because he knew. The past was almost resurfacing itself into the present and down unto the future. Lucas had informed him of the letter, now. He had tons of worries to do.He spread out his jacket and threw it on the rack, his heavy breathing constantly telling him it was going to be okay.It wasn't, because his mind was distorted and then- He heard a string that made him pause in his steps.Not a string, music. Calm, gentle playing of the keyboard, he was astounded, no one played the keyboard that well, he traced the music to the room. The oak door stared back at him, without knowing, he pushed it gently.The person behind the large keyboard didn't look up, it was as though he wasn't even there. Azura was concentrated on the keyboard, her hands mo

"I must say, darling. You look absolutely splendid today. What's the occasion?" Camilla said as she spread jam over her toast.Xander studied his wife from under his lashes, a faint blush appeared in the base of her neck, she was dressed in a white turtle neck top with jeans, her hair was braided, he could almost see the brown curls tucked neatly behind her ears.He wanted to devour her, to undress her, to run his fingers through her soft silk skin, memories of last night torment him, he wanted to do it again, and again, and gosh, those lips. He just wanted to-"Xander." His mother looked at him worriedly as if to tell him to get his shit together, apparently she had just said something, and he wasn't listening. Breakfast with his mother never tended well.Lucas was minding his own food, something about his demeanor was different. He was quiet, unusually quiet. His dark hair styled behind his ears. His dark eyes fixated on the food. Azura ate her food quietly. Zane, Xavier and his fat

When Xander arrived in Italy, night had stretched far, he could hear the owl's peaceful music, hooting through his own ears. He said goodnight to Lucas in the hallways, and walked along the halls.It was eerily quiet, he passed the doors as he walked, his breathing whisking, in any minute from now, he was going to see Nicole. Her peaceful face- maybe, her angry face.He stood in front of the door. Here goes nothing: He pushed, the room was exactly how he had left it a week ago, the sheets were arranged, and on it was Nicole in the shortest nightgown.His throat bobbed. He walked towards her slowly, afraid that each step would wake her up, careful.Damn careful.He sat on the bed, her lashes curled together perfectly, her head struck on the pillow.She was marvelous even when she slept.Her eyes bobbed open, "Took you a while."His lips stretched into a smirk.__Nicole sat up straight, staring deep into his eyes, she could spot the circles under his eyes, his tired shoulders."You sho

Xander breathed heavily, he was feeling feverish, mainly because he wanted to be home right now, Nicole. It's been a week, and he hasn't even stepped foot into the manor. She hasn't called, nor text, nor even...His expression was still gruff when Lucas stepped into the office. In just a few days, he was back in New York, when Lucas had told him what happened, they flew together to New York to meet Kane in his office."This is not funny." Xander grinded his teeth, his demeanor changing, stiff as a rock, just the way they nicknamed him, "She's completely burnt half of my were-houses here in New York, and that note. She's playing with me." His hands fisted, his eyes growing red. Damn, he could literally hurt someone right now.His breath grew ragged.Kane stared at him from under his lashes, Xander had got to admit: His friend was looking quite like any normal guy, there wasn't any bottle of whiskey lying on his table, and his papers seemed arranged. His office even smelt of women's per

There's a rapt knock on the door, so gentle, and then a warm voice follows. "Breakfast is ready,"Xander was the first to flutter awake, his lashes pushed themselves open. Light brimmed into his face, the familiarity of his bedroom hit him hard, and that's when he knew, his hands were entangled over a waist.He gazed at his other side.She was sleeping. Do people sleep and look so beautiful while asleep? Because, this was Nicole Hart, and she slept so beautifully. Her lashes were arranged in order, he studied her, the gentle breathing that escaped her nostrils.He could do this all day: she looked so calm in her sleep, like nothing was her concern. He stirred from the bed, headed to the bathroom, and after his morning routine, he headed to the kitchen. It was eerily quiet, a maid had told him that the family just had breakfast, and thank goodness. He walked over to the pan, standing beside the kitchen."Young master. What are you doing?" A young maid rushed over to him, her eyes almo

As Nicole stared at the phone in her hand, her heart tugged with something unknown."Let me guess." Ryder said dryly, "That's your husband."Nicole tucked her phone elsewhere. "Sometimes, you just have to remind me to blow your nose.""You funny me. You know that, Nicole?" He said, jerking from his chair, before mimicking a teenager's voice, "Go on. Meet your crush."She mouthed a 'Fuck you,' before walking out of the bar, the air blew her hair brightly, making it seem like she was coming out of a photoshoot, and he was right there, dressed in black, leaning against his car. Here goes nothing.Holding her chin up, she strutted towards him, "Xander."He looked down at her, and she swore she saw the tiniest of smiles hiding right there behind his lips, and damn. He was gorgeous whenever he smiled like that."Nicole. Get in the car." "What's happening?" She gazed around, why was he here?"Just get in the car." He raised his hands up in the air. "Please.""Oh my God, fine." Nicole gasped
Taming The Billionaire Chapter 68:
Nicole stared at the blank screen for quite a long time, she tried to figure out what went wrong, but here she was, for what seemed like hours, she couldn't even bring herself to work.This was getting annoying, she pushed away her work glasses from the rim of her nose and placed them on the table. Xander's father had been really considerate and had even found her a space in the manor for her office. She had set her laptop, a desk and chair, in a room filled with books."Nothing?" Azura said, walking towards her, balancing two cups of coffee on her hand.Nicole blinked. "I think so." She accepted the cup from Azura's hand, and sipped. "I don't know what my father would think if he knew I am not working. He would drag my ass from here and get me to work back in New York."Azura offered her a pitiful smile, "Your father loves you."They did love her. Today Azura was looking good in her office blazer and skirt, even though Nicole told her not to dress like that, she still did. They were
