I am totally aghast, Violet cut her wrists? That doesn’t sound at all like anything she would do. Xander inhales deeply and runs his fingers through his hair. “Are you sure?” he asks, his eyes bewildered. I’ve not seen him quite like this before and he has gone pale, like a white sheet. I raise my eyebrows.

“Yes, perfectly sure. We wouldn’t joke about something like this Mr Staniopolis.” Great so even the nurses know exactly who Xander is. Not difficult since his image is everywhere on social media, newspapers, magazines. You can’t move anywhere for seeing Xander’s face. He is always in the news for how well his business is doing, where his new developments are happening. I have to give it to his marketing team, they sure know all about public relations. I am guessing he has a whole arm in charge of his pr.

Something isn’t sitting right in my gut about the whole business with Violet and her wrist. Don’t ask my why but I just don’t get it. She isn’t clinically depressed or has iss

    KennaIce washes over my body like a lake freezing in the cold New York winter. My heart begins to race, I narrow my eyes and take in the way Violet looks at me, sneering and with cold, brutal eyes. This woman is an abomination, she will stop at nothing. And yet I have always been here for her, admittedly with reluctance but like Xander said, I did know what I was getting into.I call her bluff, “what baby? What the hell are you talking about now, Violet?”“Your baby, I know about it. You slept with a professor at college and you got pregnant.”How would she know about that, we didn’t even go to the same colleges? She went and studied in Los Angeles at some kind of media course or something. Violet was never in my life not until I met Xander. “There is no baby, I think you’re insane, Violet. You just keep making stuff up. What is your problem anyway trying to always do something to hurt or annoy me? It’s not even as if I am with Xander anymore. We are divorced. He is all yours if yo

    KennaI couldn’t get out of there quick enough, bile is rising in my throat and my stomach feels so sick, I think I might throw up. Beads of sweat are forming on my forehead. “Are you okay, Miss?” A male nurse in green scrubs asks me as he takes my elbow. “Yes, I’m fine, just, it’s nothing. I’ll be okay.” He looks at me with concern in his eyes. “If you’re sure, only you look like you could do with a cold glass of water.” His brown eyes are soft and caring, why couldn’t Xander have looked at me in the same way? “No, I’m fine. I just need to get out of here.” He nods and releases my arm and lets me go.Once outside I gulp in air, it’s like my lungs have stopped working and I can’t breathe anymore. My baby, the baby. How the hell did Violet even find this out.There is only one person who knows about that baby and that is my mother, she is the only person who knows. It all happened when I was in college, stupid, naive and dumb to say the least. Who has sex with their professor anyw

    KennaGod, I still feel sick as Dante drives us back to the Bodega estate where I now live. For now. I have every intention of getting myself somewhere to live. Not that it’s bad living with my mom, stepfather, Dante and my sister but you know, I’m in my twenties and it’s about time that I find a place of my own. It’s not like I don’t have the money, and I still have all the money that Xander gave me.“You want to talk about it?” Dante asks, his voice soft and gentle. It pulls at my heart how concerned he is. Honestly, Dante is the sweetest man alive. He’s always been such a good friend to me.“No, I’m fine. It’s just you know the whole thing with Violet. She is such a bitch to me and has Xander wrapped around her little finger. It drives me insane, I can’t stand her. Then I feel guilty for hating her.” I muse and turn to look out the car window, not that I can see much since it’s dark. Only the lights that stretch along the road and the tall buildings of Manhattan. “A problem shared

    XanderSomething went down between Violet and Kenna, only Violet isn’t telling me anything and it is irritating the hell out of me. Now, all of a sudden she is being secretive and I don’t like it, not one little bit. And the way Kenna ran out of the room, looking as white as a sheet, it concerned me. I am still at the hospital, they are giving her blood at the moment and I have asked her several times before she was ready, what the hell is going on but she remains tight lipped.Sitting in the private waiting room I rake my hands through my dark hair. What has Violet been saying to Kenna? I know that Kenna didn’t want to come but she did, and she was prepared to donate one last time. It’s not like Kenna to storm out like that, it’s completely unprecedented behavior. From the pocket in my jacket I take out my mobile and ping her a message.Hey, are you okay? What happened? I’m not mad at you anymore, it’s just I could see you looked deathly and I am worried. I wait and take a sip of

    DanteI undress down to my boxer shorts and literally throw myself down on the bed. I can’t stop thinking about Kenna and how pale she looked, I’ve never seen her look like this before. Sure, she’s had moments where something has got to her but she always bounces back. But tonight when I met her at the hospital, her face was strained and her lips were so thin and pressed together. It seemed as if all the blood had been drawn out of her body and I know she didn’t donate, she told me as much.And it also concerns me this is the first time that Kenna hasn’t told me what is bothering her. I rake my hands through my hair and lean against the pillows. It’s not like her at all. She and I are close, we grew up together, her being my stepsister and everything, you know we gelled pretty quickly. There was none of this step-sibling rivalry or anything. When Kenna came to live with my father, and he married her mother, I instantly felt a warmth towards the young girl who looked frightened and tim

    KennaMy mother places a hand to her mouth, the color drains from her face. “What? What do you mean Violet knows about the baby?”I take a seat next to my mother and put my hands around her hand on her lap. Tears spring to her eyes, and my heart feels sad for her. “I have no idea how she knows, Mom but she told me she knew that I had a baby and was at a private place in Switzerland.”“But that’s impossible, nobody except you and I knew about it. Not even Isaac knew. He thought you were going on a long, extended trip to Europe and spending time with friends in Switzerland.” I let out a sigh and blow a strand of hair away from my face. “What are we going to do about it? What if she talks? What if Isaac finds out?” What I don’t say out loud, is how will Dante feel about me if he discovers I have had a child by a professor from college, and gave my baby up for adoption. Oh, God this is such a mess. But I had no choice, well actually thinking about it now, I did have a choice.However, my

    XanderI am drained as I drink yet another glass of strong, malt whiskey. It’s the finest you can buy, around five hundred dollars a bottle, but hell I need it right now. Violet was okay when I left her a couple of hours ago. The nurse said I should come home and get some rest, which reluctantly I did. I am still mad as hell at Kenna and walking out on Violet like that and nor will Violet tell me what went down. She got so distressed and turned on the tears that the nurses actually forbid me to talk to her after that.Whatever is going on, I will find out. There has to be a way and I am good at getting what I want after all. It’s dark and lonely, I ought to turn on some lights and put them on the dim setting but you know what, I can't be bothered. Part of me is missing Kenna being around, even though we’ve been divorced for a month or more now, I really do miss her. Why? I have no idea. And why I constantly think about her is beyond me too. It’s confusing the hell out of me.Is it be

    KennaIt’s been a week since I came back from the hospital and talked with my mother. And as I thought, we haven’t spoken about it again since. It hurts me that my own mother, the grandmother of my child, is not supporting me in any way to find out about my daughter. Isaac seems also to be around more at the moment, now that he has finished his European tour and has a couple of weeks back here in Manhattan. I’m sitting in the office staring at my computer when I should be working. It’s been a hectic week and I am so pleased that it’s a Friday. I plan to go out with my best friend, Elsie, to let our hair down. It’s been ages since I’ve hooked up with and I am ready to party. We plan on going to a private club that is for celebrities, sportspeople and the very rich and famous only. Elsie is beyond excited since she doesn’t come from money and never frequents places like this unless I take her.Of course when I was married, I never got the opportunity to go out much, Xander didn’t allow

    Kenna“Is this true? How can it be? Oh my God, Mother, do you know what this means?” She nods, a small curve upwards on her lips. “It changes literally everything. But shit, what a lie to have kept secret for all of Dante’s life. How do you suppose he will react?”“I have no idea, Kenna but it is wrong that Isaac has done this. Dante should have known years ago the absolute truth. Whatever came over Isaac at that time is beyond me.”“But seriously, Dante is going to be so pissed at Isaac. It will drive a wedge between them surely. How could Isaac have possibly done this?”“Who knows what went through his mind back then, all we can do is let Dante know, Kenna. Clearly Isaac has no intention of ever saying anything. When he dies will be when Dante finds out and what a shock that will be. He won’t even have the time to talk to Isaac about it. His head will be reeling with disbelief.”I swallow the lump in my throat at the thought of having to tell Isaac what I have just read. I take a si

    KennaWhat would my mother know about Dante and what is in the will she has clearly now found? I need to know, only it is the early hours of the morning. Dante gives me a quizzical look.“Is everything okay? You are looking strange,” he slides his omelette on his plate then takes a seat next to me. “I, er. Yeah sure. My mother has some news for me. I won’t be able to stay long in the morning. I need to go and meet with her. Give me a second. I need to message her back.” He raises an eyebrow.“What, she is awake at this hour?” I nod to confirm that indeed, my mother is awake. Not one for being a night owl it is of course very strange. Thus it must be seriously important. I message her back. Can you tell me over the phone? I wait and see the bubbles come then disappear, then more bubbles. No, Kenna. You must come to the house immediately in the morning. I am free at eight since I have the charity event to organize and meeting with some of the women to discuss it at ten. Do not be lat

    Kenna“Fuck my father, baby. We are adults, we are not blood related and we can do whatever we like. Besides, he daren’t disown you now. Not with Xander signing the lifelong agreement. Didn’t you mention that Xander has stipulated it only stands if you remain heiress?” “True, but you know he’ll still give us a lot of shit.”I feel Dante shrug behind me. “Let him get on with it. He won’t be in power soon in any case. He is talking about retirement.” I turn and lay on my back, Dante has his arm around me cradling me into his chest. He smells so masculine, I trace my fingers along his impressive pecs and down his washboard abs. I want to lick every inch of him but first I need something to eat. As if reading my mind he says, “hungry?”“Absolutely, what do you have in?” “Well, let’s go check out the kitchen. First, I need to get you a warm towel to clean yourself up with. Are you sore, baby? Was I too rough?”“What, no way. I loved it. I mean I can feel you stretched me some, but hone

    KennaHe flips me round, my stomach lays flat on the bed. I feel his strong hand come up under me to bring me up onto all fours. “Your ass looks damn fine, Kenna,” Dante says as he slaps it. The sensation stings yet sends ripples of excitement through my body. I moan, he slaps my ass again. I feel his lips on the base of my spine as he gently kisses me and swirls his tongue around my lower back. His tongue is warm, sending shivers throughout my body.Dante places a hand underneath me by my right hip bone and digs into the fleshy area, oh wow, the feeling is not one I have felt before. It sends an instant message to my groin, curling it in tight coils. “That feels so good,” I tell him and push back with my ass to try and make contact with his rigid cock.Then I feel him running his cock head down my ass and lining it up to my slit. “I want you inside me, Dante,” I hiss. He slaps my ass.“Don’t be so impatient, Kenna. I want to take my time with you.” I growl at him. He chuckles. His

    DanteShe looks like a dream with her dark hair splayed all over the pillows and her fingers shoved inside her cunt. The way her mouth opens and she screams my name over and over, letting her orgasm control her makes me harder than I have ever been before. This woman will undo me and I don’t give a shit. I want her. I want Kenna Bodega to be my everything. Literally. My cock is aching like fuck and my balls are killing to be released of my cum. Not yet. First, I want to dive my head between those creamy thighs of hers and feel them tightening around my face as I bring her to orgasm number two. Only, her tits are magnificent, full, firm and her nipples. Fuck Man, I can’t stop sucking on them. I could bite them off, simply delectable.She gasps as I feel her long fingers go through my hair. “Holy shit, Dante. What the fuck was that?” I chuckle as I pop a nipple releasing it from my warm mouth. “Did you orgasm good, beautiful?” “Yes, oh my gosh, I can’t believe it was out of this wor

    KennaOh, his dirty words make me tighten and coil even more. I am not used to a man with a dirty mouth but fuck, I like it. The kids I went with in college before I met the professor were all tame shall we say. And the professor, well he was an infatuation and not a man like Dante with his strong, masculine body.“Put your fingers inside you, baby,” he tells me, his eyes hooded, the irises so dark that his eyes look almost black. His desire is evident all over his face, spurring me on and turning me on more than I could have imagined.My heart is racing, I can feel the pressure mounting in my ears as I lower my fingers to my slit. I am so wet, I can feel my slickness dripping onto the sheet underneath me. Easing my fingers into my pussy, I gasp. Every nerve ending is on fire as I push in further and move my fingers slowly in and out.“Get undressed,” I tell Dante as he holds his hand over his package in his pants. “It’s not fair that I am the only one naked here.

    KennaThe driver eases the car in through the wrought iron gates of Dante’s property. A tingle passes through my body at the mere thought of being with him. It has been an extremely long day and Xander was the perfect gentleman. He kept checking everything was okay with me and offered for me to leave the Dallas tour early. Which I took him up on. He will fly to Chicago this evening and be shown around and introduced to everyone tomorrow. Thereafter, there are a couple of down days before he flies down to Georgia where I am to meet him. This is a good thing because my people have put feelers out and done some investigations and I happen to know that the adoptive family of my daughter, have a residence in Georgia. I have a phone number and tomorrow I will plan to call them. My lawyer said it would be best if he were to contact them, but I insisted that seems way too formal and may alarm them. Personally, I think contacting them is a more amenable approach. Lawyers often scare people hal

However, I am fuelled with seeking revenge but first I must get this site visit out of the way and then I can go back home to Dante. I cannot wait to see him and feel him hold me close and offer me comfort. My phone beeps, I check. It is Xander.How are you feeling this morning? I can go to the site on my own, you do not need to come with me.I am fine, aching and sore but I will meet you in thirty minutes. We still have time, I am just running a bit behind. I overslept.Np. See you in the foyer in thirty. And Kenna, please don’t worry too much about today. I will speak with Isaac this morning in order to resolve all the issues surrounding the contract.

I am way too exhausted and torn up to even deal with the likes of Violet right now but I do message her back.Xander is all yours. He declared his love for me this evening. However, I am not interested in being Xander’s wife again. He is all yours. As for you, I know you were behind what happened to me today. There will be revenge, you little bitch. So, watch your damn back! Because I know that Xander will do whatever it takes to make whoever did this to me or was involved, pay.I want to throw my mobile across the room but it is the only one I have and I can see that Dante has left me several messages and been calling me nonstop, it would appear.Slipping out of my shoes, I throw myself on the bed resting my head against the cushions and let out a deep, shaky breath. How could Violet even consider doing this to me? There is something very unstable about the way she thinks. All of this beca
