(Three weeks later)

It's been three weeks since I've been in the hospital, and right now, I was dying to get out of here. I was already healed enough to start taking showers, which I had Xander help me with since I didn't trust anyone else. Cole was in school, so he would visit me in the evenings, so I didn't have my son here to keep me company.

On days like this, I miss my family a lot. My parents had to go home so that they could help Mariah with Cole and Emily is pregnant, so she won't be able to be here with me all the time. I sighed when I tried to get into the movie that I was watching, but I just couldn't.

Thank God, my bag was recovered on sight, and I was able to get my phone back. I took it up and looked at it, wondering why Xander hadn't texted me back yet. He said that he was on his way here and if I needed something to eat. I told him what I wanted and asked if he was okay, but haven't received any response from him. I sighed again, feeling extremely bored and

  • Taming the cold billionaire (mxw)   Not trusting him

    (Rachael)One year later“Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday, dear Micah! Happy birthday to you!” We shouted at the top of our voices. Emily and Brady now have a one-year-old son named Micah. I was at their birthday party celebrating with them, which was a lot of fun. Emily ran up to me and pulled me in for a hug, I'd never seen her so happy before, and I was glad. She had been through a lot with her parents fighting her to work at their hotel, which she finally agreed to do. After Emily and Brady resigned, Xander had to hire two more people, and right now, I was mad at him. It's been six months now since we moved in together in the house that he bought, and five since we got married. Everything was going great, heck, he even caved and told me that he killed the bastard who was after me. I told him that I wasn't mad at him for doing it, I was just mad that he kept it a secret from me. Ok, I'm straying a bit. So, after Xander hired two women to replace Emily

  • Taming the cold billionaire (mxw)   Doing the right thing

    (Xander)I knew that I messed up and shouldn't have said that to Rachael. Fuck, I've been messing up a lot lately. I just didn't know how to tell Rachael why Camille was coming into my office every day for so long. A year ago, I killed a man out of rage. I wanted to protect my family, so I did everything that I could just to make sure that they were okay. My police friend warned me that it would affect me, but I didn't listen to him. I've never listened to anyone when I have made my mind up about something. I went and killed the bastard who shot Rachael, but it had been affecting me a lot. Lately, I couldn't sleep, couldn't eat, couldn't stand the sight or smell of certain things. My mind was a mess and because of that, I would always lose control and lash out at Rachael. I thought that I could take it all in without any problems because I'm a man and I shouldn't allow certain things to affect me. But, it was affecting me. It got to me so much that I started having nightmares. I cou

  • Taming the cold billionaire (mxw)   Epilogue

    (Rachael's POV)(Six months later)As I stood there watching Cole and Xander playing, I couldn't stop myself from smiling. Knowing that this day had come. I am now six months pregnant after Xander and I had tried for so long. It finally came true. We are having a boy, which doesn't matter to me, I will love my baby no matter the gender. Xander and I could always try for a girl and at the rate that we went when I was trying to get pregnant, I know that one day it will happen. We were talking about the number of kids that we wanted, and I was shocked when Xander said six. I wanted four, but he jumped the gun a bit when he said six. Everything worked out great for everyone else, though. Lawrence was moving around more now without the wheelchair, Lucy had stopped working for him because of some family crisis, and she had to go back home. He and Amy are getting married next month, I can't wait for that to happen;Emily, my dear friend, was happy with the way things turned out. She, Brady

  • Taming the cold billionaire (mxw)   What’s his problem?

    (Rachael)Working for Xander King could have been pleasant if he could stop screaming orders at me. I've been working as an investment banker for a company called Arctic Circle Investment. ACI. Here in Manhattan, New York. I have been here for seven years now, and yes, the pay was great, plus I got weekends and holidays off. What more could a girl ask for? I didn't attend college like everyone else once they reached the age of eighteen because I got pregnant. My now nine-year-old son is so energetic that I had to watch him carefully. He has a nanny, Mariah, who loves him a lot, and occasionally I would leave him with his grandparents. His father ran the minute I told him that I was pregnant, so I had to step up and take care of my child. I have been to so many interviews that I had failed miserably, but luckily, Lawrence King saw something in me at that time and hired me. I had proved him right, and now I was still working here, even after so long. It was when Mr. King got sick, his

    (Xander)irritated. That's one way to describe how I felt whenever I was with Rachael. She makes me want to snap her neck whenever she opens her mouth, trying to challenge me, and is always getting on my nerves. but I couldn't stop myself from feeling like there was something between us. I would be blind if I said I wasn't attracted to her, damn I was. She is extremely beautiful with jet-black hair and the blackest pair of eyes I've ever seen. an hourglass figure that would make every man turn their eyes toward her as she walks by. I know that there couldn't be anything serious between us because I wasn't looking to settle down, and my father would hang me if I tried anything with her. He loves her a lot, I wasn't sure why, but he told me that he saw her as a daughter. At any other time, I would have said that something was going on between them, but I knew that I would be wrong. I've seen them together before, and they didn't act any different.looking at the time, I saw that it w

    (Rachael)"Mom, you're home!" shouts my son Cole, who came running down the stairs after I called for him. I laughed as he launched himself at me, hoping to get a hug that I awkwardly gave him since my hands were full. "I brought pizza, is that ok?" I asked him, and he happily nodded his head. "As much as I ate already, I can't pass on pizza," he replied, which was true. He has an obsession with pizza, and I'm not joking. something I knew he got from me since I'm the same. After we got to the dining room, I placed the pizza on the table and sat down. Then we started eating. I invited Mariah for some as well, so now she was sitting with us. "How was work? Is Mr. King still being grumpy?" Mariah asked, making me groan. I often vent my frustrations to her, letting her know how much I hated my job. Mariah reminded me of my mother in a good way. They are close in age, which is forty-seven. my mom had me when she was twenty. "He's getting worse, I can't concentrate without having to he

  • Taming the cold billionaire (mxw)   The bet

    (Xander)"Tell me, how are things going with you and Rachael?" Dad asked in a suspicious tone that had me raising my eyebrow at him. We were now eating dinner together, in the dining room, which we always do as long as I have the time. "It's the same as usual. We bicker all the time as if we are married." I replied, which had him laughing. Every time I looked at my dad, I saw myself. It's a bit freaky the way we looked exactly alike. The only problem is that he is the older version of me. we both have the same eye color, which is blue with a mixture of green, and if it wasn't for his age, we would both have the same jet black hair. He might have gotten a minor stroke, but the way he was going made it seem as if he was stronger than before. "I don't get why you two can't get along. She's been working there for years now, surely there must be some part of you that likes her." I narrowed my eyes at dad after he said that and shook my head. "Hell no, I don't want to get hypertension at

  • Taming the cold billionaire (mxw)   Waking up

    (Rachael)I woke up to blinding lights that had me closing my eyes instantly. My throat felt dry, because of a tube that was there. I was confused as to where I was. The beeping sound that was coming from somewhere in the room was also annoying. It took me a moment to realize where I was, and that's when I saw Dr. Hills and two nurses running into the room. After, Dr. Hills checked to make sure that I was alright. He left, saying that he was going to tell my family the good news. He removed the tube and one of the nurses gave me some water to drink, which k greedily accepted. They also gave me something for the pain that I was feeling, which had started to cool down a bit. “Do you remember anything that happened?” I looked at the nurse who spoke, she told me that her name was Anabelle. “I remember some things, but not all. Did Dr. Hills say that my family was here?” Anabelle nodded her head and smiled. “They have been here from the moment you were brought in, Miss. Hale, they have

    (Xander)We stayed at Rachael's side for two weeks now and still no sign of her waking up. Dr. Hills told us that she was getting stronger and was expecting her to make a full recovery, but I couldn't wait. I didn't have the patience for that. Today, I got a call from a police friend of mine, saying that they found out who it was that shot Rachael. I asked him how he found out, and he told me that the fucker took his mask off in front of a store that had that surveillance camera on it. I breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that we were getting somewhere. This time, I told everyone where I was heading so that they wouldn't be worried about me. Cole wanted to come with me, but I had to trick him so that he would stop crying. I told him that I would bring back his favorite pizza, which had him smiling and nodding his head.

    (Xander)Aunt Claudia called me and asked me where I was, but I hung up without replying. I couldn't deal with that shit right now. I just didn't want to be there right now. With my father in the hospital and now Rachael, it was just too stressful for me. I still had to go to work and maintain the house, everything was getting to me and the only thing that I could think of was to drink. I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around. Seeing that it was Leon, I groaned. I don't have the time or the patience for anyone right now. I needed to de-stress and this was the only way to do it. “You were going to drive after this?” Leon asked, taking a seat next to me. “Yeah, I can hold my liquor,” I replied while drinking another shot of vodka. I got mad at Leon for telling the bartender not to give me anymore because I was driving, and then I got mad at the bartender for listening to Leon. I pulled a stupid move and took out my gun while pointing it at the bartender, who froze in fear. Leon

    (Xander)The hospital was packed once again with everyone, including Leon and his girlfriend, waiting on hear some sort of good news from Dr. Hills. It wasn't the same hospital that my dad was in, I made sure he was at a more private one where he was comfortable enough. Shortly after, Dr. Hills made his way toward us with a look on his face that I could not understand. Cole started to cry while Mr. Hale tried to comfort him. “Rachael hasn't woken up yet but her surgery was successful, her vital signs are getting stronger by the minute, I can see her leaving here soon. But, she'll need a lot of support once she's out. If you want, you can all see her at the same time, I usually allow one person at a time, but I guess I can make an excuse for now.” I sighed in disappointment, knowing that my fiancé hadn't woken up yet. I walked up to Cole and picked him up, he held on to me as tight as he could while he was sobbing. I was trying my best to comfort him. We headed towards Rachael's room
