Taming The Billionaire Chapter 35:
The time stopped ticking, hell, maybe it froze, or maybe it didn't. But, everyone seemed to have stopped- for a fraction of seconds, and jabbing of knuckles was heard from underneath the table.Lucas stared up at him, puckering his lips together, before his hands moved over to the cup of water, and he took a little sip, trying to digest in the information, "You hate pancakes.""They taste like foot." Mouths agape, three fun mouths hanging on plain air."Exactly." Nicole had said, before lowering the cup of water to her lips, and then, she took a little sip.The atmosphere turned gloomy, and Zane needed a quicker way to escape, find something to lie about, and get the damn out of the dangerous dining room, slowly, he pushed the table aside, his eyes moving towards the clock on the wall."Oh. Would you look at the time." Their eyes followed his suit, and it was only 7:16, seriously dude?"I have something to catch up." His voice was trembling, but then, he casted a cheeky smile towards
Taming The Billionaire Chapter 36:
Why in the hell would his father want to speak to him? He was Xander Castillo, and well, he didn't have any sort of relationship with his father. Just a rigid-unbalanced one, he couldn't let her find out. He could never let Nicole Hart know all this.Pushing the chair aside gently, his dark eyes scanned the table, then finally to the person occupying the seat, he knew she wanted to say something, but she just looked at him so intently, his chest heaved up a bit, before he gestured behind Lucas to walk.Nicole wanted to say something: afterall, today they had found the chance to say something less than a word, so why was he leaving so immediately?She was all alone now; sinking in her own misery, she just concentrated on the food, suddenly losing appetite.When they were in the bedroom, Xander shut the room, before gently seating on the bed, his hands flying over to his hair, pulling it gently, "Now tell me why my father would want to see me." Silence racked his brain, he didn't wanted
Taming The Billionaire Chapter 37:
Xander had no idea hot to deliver the news, Hey you, I am travelling to Italy, and guess what? You are coming along because..Because what? Shit.Well, now, he had no chance to think of what to say, because she was facing him, her lips parting apart, wait, she didn't even wear any lipstick, what type of woman wouldn't even wear lipstick?For a moment, he was stuck, staring at her every composure.Nicole Hart was angry, her mood was dampen, and her heart was racing in different thoughts, who would have thought that the Almighty Xander Castillo would want to have a talk with her? Pathetic."What is it you wanted to talk about?" She was losing her patience, her stance."I am going to Italy." He paused, gazes at her, makes sure she grabs what he says, and when he was sure that she did. He spoke again. "And, you are coming with me." Seconds passed by slowly, something she acknowledged as slow paced. "I am not.""Yes, you are." He stressed his words, anger flooding through his veins, he gaz

Nicole hated this. No, she hated this man.Her mother had told her that it was rude to hate someone, especially when they are your friend, but right now, there was no rudeness attached. She simply hated this man in her presence. He irked her. He disgusted her. His scent, his face- which every woman would literally die to see. She hated it, and lastly, she hated his flirting techniques."Let's talk again, Nicole." He laughs, showing off his perfectly toned teeth arranged quite neatly, he picked up the napkin and dabbed his lips gently, "Why can't we be together again?" Nicole was sure Zane was watching, he was always beside her, protecting her- even when she had told him she didn't needed his protection, the latter just chose to stick with her.He was part of the shadow. No one had ever saw him before, but he was always there. He was watching her silently behind the dark, buried in the darkness, right there, and if only Nicole could only pinpoint where he was"I told you already, Set
Taming The Billionaire Chapter 39:
Presently, Nicole is sprawled on her bed, on her night wear, thinking how her life had turned to this. Her once peaceful life had turned to a sham. A complete one, living with a Xander she had no idea of, a life she couldn't even rule. Messy.She sprawled her hair apart, before sinking on the soft mattress, clearly but a little weirdly, she had come to learn that the black colour that wavered around the whole manor brought a soft feeling to her chest.Xander. He was right. Or whoever said it, but black, it was a strong colour, it was waving and inviting, she loved it, every bit of it.She had no idea when the a gentle knock erupted from the door, immediately, she peered her eyes over to the clock, 7:30pm and she was already in bed. Yay, her life was completely sinking and she had no idea.She grabbed the blanket, and hauled it over to her body before resting her head on the headboard slat."Come in." She coughed gently, her hands flying over to her mouth, eager to see who it was, she
Taming The Billionaire Chapter 40:
Another day, another life.Nicole took a bite out of the donut, nope, not her taste, the taste of extremely warm jelly filled her lips, something wrapped up in lettuce, ew. Not that she hated vegetables, they worked better than pancakes anyways.She pushed her chair forward a bit glancing round the dining table, for the first time in ever. It was empty, no Zane. Lucas was no where to been seen, and it was completely..Empty.She took another bite of the donut, controlling the sharp taste she always received when she ate sugar, puffy, her hands moves over to the mug of early tea, before taking a sip.The door of the dining room bursted open, and a tall figure strides in, Nicole had to keep her stance up, just so she could see his face, her lips parted apart, when Xander walked in.He glances at her simply, before taking his seat, he gazed around the chair, then back at her, he seems to repeat the same process for three time, before grabbing the donut on the plate.Nicole watched him fr

"What's an...?" Zane backed out, still holding his phone curiously, "Instagram?"Levi, his friend almost rolled from his chair, shuffling a laughter in his lungs, his hands moved over to the bottle of beer, before his mouth corked it open, taking a huge gulp, he relaxed. "Man. You don't know what an Instagram is?" He laughed, his breath falling in between places.Zane rolled his eyes, but instead he just drop the phone back on the table, and his hands twisted around a mug of beer, "This is not why I am here, remember?""Use Instagram." Levi eyed him playfully, taking another gulp."I don't even know what it is." Zane tapped his hands against the chair, letting out a silent inhale."Facebook? Do you know what that is?" Levi asked again, breathing in and out.Absolutely no one could understand his best friend, Zane.A muscle shifted underneath his shirt, and Zane inhaled, he hated this kind of thing, social media, friends, he hated absolutely everything, well.. except beer.Who didn't l

"What happens when your date tells you to go and die?"Nicole squeezed her nose earnestly, before fixing her eyes away from the airplane window, great, so far for the wonderful sight. Tearing her eyes away, she could see one bulgy looking Lucas seated beside her.Nicole had counted, talking with Lucas wasn't really a bad thing, in some other way, he wasn't really used to the world, as if maybe he didn't grow on it. Maybe, he was from another planet, but he was amazing, and cool, and always seemed to have her back."Did someone tell you that?""No." His hands scratched the nape of his neck with his hand, just like men do whenever they were nervous, but he wasn't nervous, he was just.....uncomfortably good looking to be nervous, he adjusted from his seat, taking in another gulp, "We are seated side by side."As if that wouldn't make her ask any more questions.Her hand moved over to the window, before she squished her eyes on it, she could see those tiny boxes which supposedly were hou

Taming The Billionaire Chapter 76:
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
Taming The Billionaire Chapter 75:
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
Taming The Billionaire Chapter 72:
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
Taming The Billionaire Chapter 71:
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
Taming The Billionaire Chapter 70:
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
