It seems to me that Xander has it bad for Kenna and hasn't quite figured it out yet. What do you think? Will he try to win her back? Will Kenna want to be back with Xander, I mean Violet is still in his life xoxo
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
KennaIt was such a long day in the end and I am so tired but I can’t let Elsie down. I have had my driver take me to her house where we will get ready like old times. “Hey you made it, I thought you would never get here,” Elsie throws her arms around me, I inhale her strawberry fragrance, it must be her shampoo or conditioner. “I know, right? The day just went on and on. Isaac called a board meeting I had to attend, then I had a team meeting which put me two hours behind. We’re also designing a new label and I have to get stuff organized for the meeting in Napa soon.”“Oo, Napa, I’d love to go there. I don’t suppose you could fit me in your suitcase could you?” She giggles as she leads me through her apartment which is on the ground floor with a small patio area out the back. “You could come if you wanted to and do some sightseeing, whilst I have my meetings and we could go out for dinner when I’m done for the day. Although, I will have to do at least one dinner with the client to
XanderSeeing her with some guy on the dance floor has made me see red. RED. I can’t stand it any longer, blood pumps around my body fuelled with anger and jealousy. Since when do I ever have a jealous rage ? But her being so close to that dude is seriously irking me. My fists are balled by my side until I slam my neat whiskey back and go to her.I have been watching her with that friend of hers, sitting there looking so damn hot and beautiful that it made my breath catch in my throat. She never dressed like that when we were together, but then we never went out to clubs or parties only to galas when she was expected to dress high end and demure. Seeing her like this in her short dress showing off all her curves has got my pulse racing. I storm over to her and tear the man off her, “Kenna what the fuck are you doing you slut?” She looks at me, her mouth gaping open.Shit, did I just call her a slut? What the hell has gotten into me? I am never like this. And calling her a slut, that i
Kenna“Holy cow, was that Xander on the dance floor?” Elsie asks me, definitely tipsy. I check the bottle of Krug and yes she has had a fair amount to drink. “Yeah, he was being a dick because I was dancing with some guys. You know I liked that guy a lot.” I sigh and take a long drink of my champagne. A waiter hovers near us. “Can I get you ladies another drink?” “Yes please, just a glass each, we’re nearly done for the evening. You can charge everything to the Bodega account.” He nods politely and moves away towards the bar. Carl, my bodyguard, goes back to standing discreetly behind us, not within earshot. “Oo, sounds like Xander is jealous. The calm, cool and collected Xander has got himself in a rage. That’s almost hysterical.”“Nothing about the situation is hysterical, Elsie. Listen, I think you’ve had way too much to drink. Say we go home. You can have a sleepover at mine if you want.”“No, I’m not ready to go, Kenna. I want to let my hair down and kick up my heels and have
DanteKenna was clearly a bit on the drunk side when she got home last night, her face again was strained and all I want is to see her happy and smile.It hurts my heart to see her always on the brink of extreme stress, like she has the weight of the world on her shoulders all the time. I know being an heiress to a fortune and an empire like Bodega wines is no small calling but she needs to be able to go out and have fun and let her hair down. Only, when she came in last night she looked as pinched as she had done when she was back from the last hospital visit.I asked her what happened at the hospital but she won’t tell me and now my stepmom is acting all weird too. Her eyes are always red like she’s been crying. A lot. Why won’t anyone tell me what the hell is going on around here?All I wanted to do was take Kenna in my arms and hold her tight, yet I know it’s wrong I am her stepbrother after all. It’s the weirdest thing because it seems the way I feel for her Kenna these days is so
KennaAfter breakfast I excuse myself, I have to find out what Xander is up to and I hope to God that Isaac does not put me in charge of Xander's new label and wine. Besides, I already have enough on my plate. “Morning, Sis.” Harless passes me on the sweeping staircase, she looks all fresh as a daisy this morning with her blonde hair up in a high ponytail and well perhaps a bit too much makeup, but hell you know my mother and Isaac pretty much let her get away with anything. “Good morning, Harlee. What’s on your agenda today?” “College, it sucks. Honestly, why do I even have to go? I’ve got enough money from dad.” She frowns. I chuckle. I was desperate to get a job and have my own money. So dumbly desperate that when I saw the first opportunity from Xander, I took it and now look what happened. A divorcee and only in my early twenties with nothing to show for it but a relatively healthy bank balance. “You need to study, Harlee if you want to help run the business one day.”“You are
XanderiIt’s been two days and still I have not heard anything from Kenna. We had a meeting scheduled in Napa where I know from Isaac she was heading and I have business to discuss. I’m keen to get this new blend of wine into my hotels and charge a fortune per bottle and she is designing the new label. I can only imagine how Kenna will not be liking the fact that we have to work together.Little known to her, I advised Isaac that I would not do business with him unless he put Kenna on the job. And of course, Isaac being the businessman that he is, did not want to lose out on this opportunity, it’s worth over a million dollars to him.Why do I want a new label and blend of wine from Bodega when I could ask any wine house for this? Because it’s the only way that I can think of to get anywhere near Kenna. The woman is living rent free in my mind at the moment. She is consuming all my thoughts. I am distracted beyond belief and I am kicking myself in the balls for being such a jerk and l
KennaGod, this man infuriates me, I grind my teeth hoping I don’t crack a molar or something. I’m not a big fan of the dentist. And I didn’t miss the upturned lips and his cocky grin and the way his eyes seemed to dance. They are bedazzling and I am trying not to be impacted by the way he is looking my body up and down with particular interest on my chest. “Up here, Xander. What is wrong with you? I am not a piece of meat.” He smirks at me and chuckles. “No, you’re not but you are a gorgeous looking woman.” He leans against the door of the office, why can’t he just sit down like a normal person. Is he trying to intimidate me or something? “And since when do you think that? This is a newsflash, you never paid me any attention when we were married.”“Maybe I didn’t appreciate what I had at the time, Kenna.”“Tough, it’s way too late now. I am not interested in your smooth talking mouth right now. We have business to conduct.” I sigh, “and would you please sit down. You are making me
