Taming The Billionaire Chapter 53:
"So, are you sure that Nightwalker won't disturb us anymore, according to your words, you said you would take care of her." It was a norm for Xander and Lucas to talk about work while drinking a mug of hot cocoa, while trampling down the hall.Lucas appeared defeated. There was something the latter wasn't telling him, he wanted to know, but he didn't press further, he would just find out himself."Yes." His voice shook."Okay." Xander lifted the mug over to his lips, before sipping, his eyes darkening, "Where's my father?""He's out busy, he hasn't been in since yesterday,"Xander sighed heavily, his mother had been pestering him with calls he didn't pick, which he would receive an amount of scolding for, and finally texts messages he left as seen. He was as good as dead."Did my mother sent you those messages too?" Xander glanced at his right hand man.The latter nodded while flipping the notebook in his hand. Great, we are both in hell together.He would just give his mother a call
Taming The Billionaire Chapter 54:
Was it just her or the corner of his eyes seemed to darken a bit?She stretched her arm forward, letting it lie on the table. She was itching for some beer right now, but her throat wouldn't let her. That's what she gets for taking beer early in the morning.He didn't speak for so long, that she wondered if he was ever going to say something. Shit.She bit her lower lips, staring at his rigid face. "Do you know anything?"His breathing hitched, "Nicole. Don't try to learn about that."No, she hated this, people treating her like she was just someone little, don't do it. You are young, just don't try to find out. She hated those kinds of things, and now Xander fucking Castillo was treating her that way too.She smiled. But it seemed like she was gritting her teeth, "You don't have to tell me if you don't trust me.""I am only protecting you, Nicole." He finally said, everywhere paused. No one said a word."Well, don't." She finally broke the silence, her voice sending daggers, "I can p

"Please don't tell me you like this place." Nicole dropped the mug of tea on the table, letting the brewing liquid fill their nostrils.Azura shifted in her seat, she thought of Italy, at least, it gave her time to explore, spend time with her aunt while working with Nicole, and then she thought of Zane, and his ridiculous nickname for her. His smile replayed in her brain, his ideas made her lips twitch upward a bit.Oh Oh, this was definitely not good."It's nice here." She finally swallowed, oh not the tea- that would burn her throat."I am glad you are enjoying it here too." Nicole muttered.Presently, there was seating in the middle of the garden, enjoying the soft wind that blew that wind, seated on the chair sipping tea early in the morning.They both stay quiet for a brief moment, with Nicole staring around, "I hope Azure is safe too.""She is." Azura blew a strand of her hair away, she itched to pick up that mug, but knowing the effect it would have in her throat, she restrain
Taming The Billionaire Chapter 56:
Nicole had no idea where she was going.She never stormed off during an important conversation that mainly involved her friend, and because Zane was her friend. She had every right she could think of.Now, who needs to be scolded right now? She took a minute to think, Xander, her blood boiling, that man had not even taken a second to appear in the show, like it bored him or something, oh and Lucas, her mind reeled in fury. They were close to Zane yet they didn't care that he was being punished. Were they humans at all?They deserved her lashings, absolutely, that was why her first stop was at his private study. She wriggled with the knobs hardly, before stepping into the room that was stacked with books, the smell of old and new books greeted her hard. Not now books!There was he, all perfect and composed, flipping through the pages of a book, the light of the lamp on the table etched perfectly around the book, giving it light just so he could read?Oh and Lucas, bless him that he was

New York."Are you sure this is the place?" Kane asked with an agitated tone. His hands folded across each other. He let out a sigh, before pushing the door of the tiny bookshop open.The bell dinged indicating his arrival."Yes." His assistant said, trudging behind him silently, afraid that if he said something, Kane would snap him into two."Why in the hell would she come to an old local romance bookshop every Wednesday afternoon?" Kane was losing this, especially when the middle aged woman gave him a crooked smile behind the counter. Was he foolish? Absolutely no, he felt something in her that day, he wanted to see her again, talk to her, maybe feel her body pressed against his.She was Cara Denver and that woman never failed to capture his dreams.Yes. He wanted her. He was going to have her."I know Sir." His assistant whispered, flicking her phone, "She told her sister that she didn't like going to rich places, and she didn't want her face anywhere on the screen, so she just cam

"You have the guts to even grin at me?" Azura frowned, before deeply squeezing the napkin onto his back.He winced softly, his lips parting apart. "Yeah."It was weird that she was leaning against the bed frame while he sat there completely shirtless, her attending to his wounds. She could see the muscles that toned his body, so flawless, perfect."Are you done staring?" He said from behind.She sputtered, the napkin almost flying away from her hand, "I am definitely not staring.""I know it when I see it." He grins behind her.Her hands moved towards his muscles willingly, so perfect, she wanted more. To linger her hand there, to trace it along every soft bone, but then she found herself asking, "Is it always like this?"He raised his brows at her.She wanted to know more, she pressed further. "Do you always get punished this way?"He sighs, breathing in the air tightly, there's a way he tensed his body that Azura didn't like, "Yes."Her heart broke. "What in the hell?" She grew red
Taming The Billionaire Chapter 59:
Azura spread jam on the bread, mashed it together and took a huge bite before swallowing unwillingly.The manor was great, really in her opinion, it was just so huge with lots of rooms. She swore she even almost went missing, people that she didn't even recognize, just for her to come to this tiny kitchen, she encountered two huge men.One who grinned at her and even called her sexy, and the other when she was coming to the room, he was with a bunch of other huge men and when she passed by them, she could smell whiskey from their body. He even had the guts to mutter. 'What's a lady doing here?'She sighed wearily, smashed the bread in her hand before popping it into her mouth, she stared under the dim light that illuminated her Pettie cheekbones. She was leaning on the kitchen counter, still mashing those sandwiches made with jam into her stomach.A gruff sounded from behind. Shimmering of bowls, flushing of liquid. Immediately, she directed her eyes to that corner."Who's there?" She

He wasn't thinking, he never thought before he did anything stupid. He found himself swiping her hand away, letting the coat fall to the floor."Xander!" Her face was red and puffy, causing those bloodshot eyes to glare angrily at him."No one touches you," He says, through gritted teeth. He stared hard at the man who appeared flustered."Um? Nicole. What's going on?" He gazed around shyly, biting his lips."Well." Nicole breathed in, her eyes gazing at him sharply, trying to ask him why he was even here. "Xander. This is Brock, a business partner here in Italy.""Broccoli." Xander mumbled under his breath, seeing the man turn red. Yeah, no one likes when you twist their name but that's what he gets for even going near her.Don't even dare touch her. She's fucking mine.Mine.That word, his heart blared just by thinking about it, and now he was left by staring endlessly at her like this was some tug of war, that she was supposed to pick a side.But he knew Nicole Hart really well.She

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

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
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
