(Rachael)

after not answering Xander, he told me that he wanted to talk to me for a minute in private, I might add. I wasn't sure if that was a good move because I was trying my best to steal clear of him. With my headache just starting to go away, I didn't want him to be responsible for me having yet another one. once we were in his office, he closed the door and stood there staring at me with those eyes that did something to me.

"I'm sorry," he said suddenly, as my eyes became wide from his apology.

"I'm sorry for the way I have been treating you for the past couple of weeks. heck, we didn't start off on the right foot ever since I first met you. I know you probably don't believe me, but I would really like it if you gave me a chance to be your friend." I laughed at his feeble attempt if he thought that I was going to give in, he thought wrong.

"I spoke to your father. he told me that he threatened to fire you if you don't shape up. if you're trying to apologize to me, I won't buy

    (Rachael)"Hey, since Mr. King is allowing you to go home. I asked him for the day off to take care of you, and he said yes," Emily said, and I nodded my head. it was Xander who brought her, Brady, and Michael here, so she was going to drive with me and my parents back home. our cars were safe at our workplace, so there was no need to worry about that. Brady and Michael left with Xander earlier since Dad was still throwing threats toward him, and he needed to leave as quickly as possible. "Come on, Dad, he did apologize for everything that happened. The least you could do is give him a chance." Dad shot me a glare, which had me closing my mouth. "I will not give someone a chance that feels like it's ok to treat others like that. what if this is all a game to him? What if he's playing you all, and then he goes back to being that bastard once again?" I knew he was right, but I could tell that Xander truly wanted to set things right. "Grandpa, that's not a nice word to call someone,"

    (Rachael)it's now Friday night, and we were scheduled to leave tomorrow for the one-week trip to Maui. Cole was excited, running around trying to make sure that he had all that he needed since I was packing his suitcase for him in his room, I scolded him at one point for running and almost falling, which had left him pouting. chuckling, I shook my head and made my way to the guest bedroom, knocking on the door. when it opened, I laughed again because I still didn't believe he was there. "Stop laughing darling, it's not funny. your mother dragged me here and didn't give me a chance to say no." Dad said, which had me laughing again. That only seems to irritate him a bit."I'm sorry I'll stop. I didn't think that you would show up after the way you were acting at the hospital yesterday. I'm glad, though, that we can all have that family trip, and get this. My birthday will be spent with my family!" I shouted, excited that I would be celebrating my birthday in three days.

    (Xander)I was happy when I saw everyone was already at the airport when I arrived. I counted all fourteen of my workers, including their families, which turns out to be twenty-three. it doesn't matter, though. I was just glad that everyone is here, especially Rachael. my god, I couldn't take my eyes off her for a minute. I got lost looking at the way her jet-black hair was down, which seemed to be the exact way her mother was. it seems as if she had gotten her looks from her mother because Rachael was the replica. my eyes traveled from her hair to the blue crop top blouse that she was wearing, along with a pair of jeans shorts which weren't as short as the one she wore at the club which was a plus. I had a last-minute purchase tickets though and I smiled when I saw my best friend Leon here with his parents. he had gotten my bike sold three days ago, and I was shocked that he got it sold at the exact price, so I gave him half of it just like I promised. I felt a clap on my back and

    (Rachael)After a long flight, we finally arrived in Maui. we were now on the RV that was driven by a young man named Jake, who is the typical surfer guy, with blonde hair and blue eyes. Xander had hired him to be our driver for the week that we were here, which was a surprise for all of us. laughter and talking could be heard coming from everyone, but I noticed that Emily had been quiet, so I decided to sit next to her. Cole had fallen asleep, and Xander was keeping an eye on him, which gave me enough time to talk to Emily. "I don't even know what to do anymore. I told my parents about this trip and they didn't want me to come at first, but when they found out that Brady would be there they changed their minds. I honestly wanted to give him a chance, but they kept on prying in my privacy, and it's messing with me." Emily said. I nodded my head in understanding, already seeing how stressful this was for her. "Emily, you're a grown-ass woman. when are you going to stand up for yoursel

I was currently on my phone with my father, who was happy that I was making progress when I heard a knock on my door. opening it, I saw that it was Rachael and told Dad that I would talk to him later. I did say that I was going to talk to her in private, so I'm glad that she's here now. "Come on in," I said, and she nodded her head. I could tell that she was nervous as she entered my room, I was also feeling the same way as well but this was a serious conversation so I had to put aside that nervous feeling got now, to focus on Rachael. "Xander, before you start, I'm sorry for the way I spoke to you earlier. it was never my intention. I'm just used to taking care of Cole myself, and when you spoke to him and he listened, I just said the first thing that came to mind." I nodded my head, gesturing for her to sit down, which she did.

    (Rachael)Before we knew it, time flew by rather quickly, and now we were all back at work. I was still exhausted because of the partying that I did and because of my birthday. I did enjoy myself very much. I had gotten so many presents that it took a while for me to sort them out. Xander also gave me a pair of diamond earrings that his father bought for me, knowing that my birthday was coming up. I tried to argue my way out of not accepting it, but Xander had to play the guilt card about his father being sick, so I had no other choice but to accept it.I laughed when I remembered karaoke night, Emily was the first one on stage and when it was my turn I decided to sing because you loved me by Celine Dion, to say they were shocked was an understatement. No one knew that I could sing because I kept it to myself, so when they heard my voice, they were surprised. Michael recorded me and shared it on his F******k page. I didn't even know how many views it had gotten so far because I could c

They went to a hotel and had sex, then when she told him that she was pregnant he left. To this day, the man was sorry for leaving. It wasn't his intention at all. he just felt like he wouldn't be a good father since he was a drunk. He wanted to find his way first, so after it took some time to get sober, he started his company. it wasn't doing good, but at least he was able to make a living from it. Ever since he moved from Manhattan, he wanted to find that woman, to finally accept her and his child. he wanted to make things right with them, so he continued to search for them until he went on F******k and saw the video.

    (Xander's pov)I've been so busy with work lately that I had almost forgotten about the date with Rachael. I was in a panic, trying to figure out where I should take her since the date was tomorrow, which is Friday. I know, time was moving quickly, and for some reason, I wasn't even thinking about it until today. I was at home now with Dad and Lucy as I tried to think of somewhere to take Rachael. I didn't want it to be boring, like a cliche type of date. No restaurants, no movies, no theme park kinda stuff. I wanted it to be different. "Not that Dad, we can all take a fishing trip somewhere soon. I want it to be better than that." I replied to my father's suggestion."How about an art gallery? That's a rich enough date." I groaned at what Dad said because that would be so boring. "They are having horseback riding and carriage rides at the park this weekend. It's not expensive, or maybe it depends on the number of hours you would want to spend there. My cousin is working there, so I

  • 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

    (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

    (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

    (Rachael)(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

    (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
