Xavier’s Point of View

I watched Rei as she slept. Although her face had a peculiar expression, she appeared to be sleeping peacefully. I struggled to figure out how I could explain everything to her without jeopardizing our relationship. Where did I even begin?

I had the day with her, though. Grace would stay with the kids and I could take my time working up the courage to tell Rei the truth. I dreaded having to tell Rei the truth, knowing it would cause her pain. My heart ached at the thought of hurting her in any way.

When Rei did wake up she hid her beautiful face on my chest. Why did she always feel so self-conscious around me? I needed to find a way to reassure Rei how beautiful she was to me, and that I truly loved her. I wish I had more time to do that before telling Rei the truth. I was running out of time.

I let Rei rest and went to the kitchen to make coffee and breakfast. I cooked scrambled eggs, toast, and a few crispy bacon strips. It was a welcome change to cook for some

    Lillianna’s Point of ViewAfter parking my bike a safe distance from Xavier's apartment, I walked towards it while constantly scanning my surroundings. I was aware that I was being watched, but I wanted whoever was observing me to know that I wasn't oblivious to their presence. Also, I needed to ensure that only Aamon's employees were keeping an eye on me at the moment.I noticed two strategically positioned cars with a clear view of Xavier's apartment. I recognized the employees as very loyal to Aamon. They were just as skilled and deadly as me. He wasn't leaving anything to chance, which was worth noting.As I turned to go, I caught sight of two people watching me who I recognized. When my eyes locked with theirs, they got out of their vehicle and started to advance on me. They were bold and stupid—very, very stupid. They had no idea who they were messing with.“You have a lot of nerve coming here, Lillianna,” Sam shouted, her tone laced with anger and disbelief.My hands curled into

    Aamon’s Point of View“No wonder Mom wouldn’t let us play GTA,” whispered Onyx.“I’m pretty sure that is NOT the reason,” Shiloh admonished him with a glare.“Is this why Mom was always confused when the bills would mysteriously get paid?” Shiloh asked me, and I nodded.“My step-father, your grandfather, wanted Rei to have the freedom to live without worrying about who she was. There’s a legacy with being part of the Brzezinski family, expectations and dangers he didn’t want to touch her,” I tried to explain.“Why now? Why not when we were little, and Mom was struggling? Why not when the other kids at school made fun of us for not having a father? Is it because you are with Aunt Grace now? Is that why?” Shiloh fired questions at me as quickly as she could, with tears streaming down her cheeks and her lip quivering.My heart broke for my niece. These were valid questions—ones I had asked myself countless times, wondering when, if ever, we would be allowed to claim them as our family fin

  • The Biker's Dark Secret   Chapter Sixty: Seasons

    Rei’s Point of ViewI was happy, happier than I could ever remember being. Being with Xavier brought a peace that I’d never known before. It was so relaxed and natural like we’d known each other all our lives. However, it was clear that we hadn't, as when we were talking while doing the dishes together, I learned things about him, and he was surprised to learn new things about me. Somehow, Xavier seemed to think he already knew everything there was to know about me, and that made me smile. He was so confident in me, in us. I didn’t deserve someone like him, but I was grateful for him. Not many men would want someone who would involve an instant family and a lot of baggage from a previous relationship I’d only started healing from.We were cuddling on the couch while Xavier tried to pick a movie for us to stream, and I was texting Grace. I was surprised when she texted "yes" but then called a few minutes later.“Do you mind if I take this?” I asked Xavier, sitting up concerned.I found

    Xavier’s Point of ViewStrangely enough, as soon as I walked out of the room to give Rei some privacy, Matt called me.“Hey, I need to talk to you about something important. Sam called me in a panic a few minutes ago and made me promise to call you,” my friend said.“Sure, what’s going on?” I asked, concerned.“Sam and Chloe were convinced that Lillianna would show up at your place after what happened at the restaurant last night. No one put up with her crap for once, and Alex even walked her to the door to make sure Lillianna left. She was pissed! So the girls decided to do a “stake out” and watch to see if Lillianna showed up at your place,” Matt explained.My hand tightened around my phone, and I tried not to panic. I knew there were enforcers from the Brzezinski family watching over us. Plus, I changed locks and updated my security system. There wasn’t a way for Lillianna to get into my apartment without me knowing. I’d fixed the window she used to sneak in the day the locks were c

    Rei’s Point of ViewHe said yes. Xavier said yes to coming back to my house and spending the night with me there. I wanted him to say yes. I had hoped he would, but deep down, I wasn’t sure if he would really agree. I still couldn’t believe that he wanted to be with me. This gorgeous, intelligent, sweet, and kind man wanted me, of all people.I left his room to give him space to pack and call my best friend back. I cringed, thinking about all the naughty things Grace would tell me if the kids were not in earshot. Thankfully, I didn’t have long to obsess over it because she answered after the first ring.“So, what did he say?” Grace asked.“He’s packing a bag now. Are you sure about this? Last chance to back out,” I said.“Nope. That bed needs to be exorcised and exercised desperately. Please, please, please, make new memories all over the house. Just, maybe don’t tell me where because I have a vivid imagination, and I want to visit you without my mind wandering,” Grace said casually as

    Grace’s Point of ViewI walked back into the kitchen, and it looked like all four were waiting on the edges of their seats for my response. Salem definitely was, but that kid would also hang from the ceiling if he could find a way to do it safely. For a moment, I was tempted to tease them and pretend that Rei had not given permission for the kids to stay with Aamon and me for the next two days. But the kids had so much thrown at them in such a short time, and even I wasn’t that cruel. They were handling things a little too well. I think when reality hit them, it would hit hard.“Your mother gave permission for the three of you to stay with us for the next two nights. Go and pack your overnight bags now. Onyx, help your brother pack extra clothes because… well… it’s just better that way,” I sighed, while Onyx nodded sagely, and Salem looked confused.Salem found a way to get filthy in the most impossible ways. It was just the way he was. The kid seriously crashed headfirst through life

    Lillianna’s Point of ViewI was too riled up after meeting Chloe and Sam unexpectedly, and even though I’d had the last word, I was unsettled. I needed control. I needed attention. I needed sex.I finally made that phone call and reconnected with my old crew. I’d missed them, and they had missed me. We spent several hours making up for lost time. My wrists and ankles still were a bit raw from being bound for so long. It had been a while since I’d been tied up like that and fucked roughly. God, I’d missed it.They were angry that Xavier had dismissed me. Furious that I’d been discarded like trash for the true Brzezinski heir. Aamon was the stepson of Casimir Brzezinski. I had to beg that they wouldn’t go after Xavier. They loved to see me beg, and I was quickly assured that they wouldn’t kill him. Teach him a lesson, but not kill him. I made them promise they wouldn’t cripple him. That cost me. I was still walking with pain, but I’d secured that promise and enjoyed immense pleasure with

    Rei’s Point of ViewTwo hours passed faster than I imagined, and we finally showered and dressed to return to my place. I helped Xavier change the sheets on his bed and secretly hoped Grace had done the same for me. My best friend also told me she had cleaned up my room and ensuite bathroom, so I had nothing to worry about. Aamon had come over to meet the kids and things had gone smoothly. I was looking forward to meeting him, too. Anyone that had captured my best friend’s heart must be pretty special.I was waiting for Grace's text and picture when an unknown text came. I didn’t open messages from people I didn’t recognize—not after I’d inadvertently gotten a nasty virus doing that on my laptop. I ignored it and waited for Grace or Shiloh to message me that they had arrived safely at Aamon’s home.As we left Xavier’s apartment, I had the weirdest feeling that we were being watched. I looked around but didn’t see anyone. Xavier looked at me concerned and asked if I was okay, and I resp

  • The Biker's Dark Secret   Epilogue: Riding the Edge of Change

    Rei's Point of ViewI yearned for the freedom and exhilaration of riding on the back of Xavier's motorcycle, but ever since we found out about my pregnancy, he insisted on taking the car whenever we went out together. While I understood his concern for my safety and that of our unborn child, I couldn't help but feel a sense of loss for the rush of wind in my hair and feeling like I was flying with him. This baby was a surprise blessing for us, one we both cherished deeply, yet I couldn't shake off the lingering longing for our carefree rides on his bike.Shiloh had kindly offered to take care of Onyx and Salem while Xavier took me out for a date. Life had been hectic with moving into a new house and the kids starting at a new school. Though we didn't live in our small hometown anymore, we were still close by. It was a chance to start fresh, something we all needed. The kids had finally found their place and made friends who often hung out at our house, enjoying bonfires and stargazing

  • The Biker's Dark Secret   Chapter 104: Beyond the Shadows

    Rei’s Point of ViewTwo weeks passed by in the blink of an eye. It was strange adapting to our new normal. The kids were pulled from school so that we could have a proper funeral for my grandfather and we could find new living arrangements. Saying farewell to a man who played such an influential role in my life yet remained unknown until his last moments was an incredibly surreal experience.As the casket was closed, Shiloh and Onyx remained silent as they said their final goodbyes. I couldn't help but notice Xavier, Aamon, and Salem standing together. Both men reached for one of Salem's hands, causing him to straighten his back and take a deep breath. It was almost as if he acknowledged someone or something only he could see. I tried to look in the same direction but saw nothing. However, recent events have taught me not to discount the possibility of there being something more beyond our physical world.Since our last moments together, I hadn't sensed X's presence. However, not long

    Rei’s Point of ViewMy choice. This time, it would be my choice. The words echoed in my mind as I stared at my three sleeping children. I couldn’t recall a time except when Xavier came into my life when I was truly given a choice—when the decision was entirely my own.“You have a lot to think about. Why don’t I give you some space to do that?” my brother said as he patted my head and walked out of the room.My brother. I have a brother who is dating my best friend. I’m still trying to wrap my head around that. Wait, Aamon just patted my head as he walked out, much like Onyx would do to Salem. I smiled to myself at the thought.Honestly, I had no desire to return to the house. It held too many painful memories of my grandfather's death and Lillianna's betrayal. Every room felt haunted by the life I once shared with Greg. Starting fresh in a new place with Xavier and the children sounded like the best option.However, relocating my children from their current school and leaving behind th

    Aamon’s Point of ViewAs Xavier left the room, the office fell into a heavy silence. Rei's nervous eyes darted around, taking in each of our faces."Chloe, were you paid to be my friend?" she asked hesitantly.All eyes turned to me, and I let out a sigh."I hired Chloe to protect you and Grace to become your friend. But Chloe, Grace, and Iris genuinely care about you, Rei. It may have started as a job for them, but their feelings for you are real," I explained."Ladies, Rei and I haven't had a chance to talk alone as siblings yet. Could you give us some privacy for a few minutes? Maybe check on Xavier and contact Sam to make sure she's okay. With our new circumstances, it would be best if Alex, Tom, and Matt knew what we were dealing with. If we're going to change how we operate, we'll need the support and understanding of our loved ones," I suggested.Grace squeezed my hand in support and kissed my cheek softly."I can stay if you need me to," she whispered discreetly.I smiled at her

  • The Biker's Dark Secret   Chapter One Hundred and One: Wise Words and Whispers of Intrigue

    Xavier’s Point of ViewOn my way back to the office, I passed by the kids playing in the game room. Salem noticed me and studied me intensely as if he was trying to figure something out. His face showed his frustration, and I couldn't help but wonder what was going on. Then, he looked past me and gave me a disapproving look. I turned around, expecting to see something or someone that had caused Salem's reaction, but there was nothing there. Just as I was about to continue on my way, Salem spoke up and caught my attention.Salem looked at me seriously and asked, "Can I talk to you, Xavier?""Absolutely," I replied. I noticed him looking over my shoulder and then sticking his tongue out. It was strange behaviour, but considering all that Salem had been through recently, it could have been his way of coping. At least he felt comfortable enough to come to me when he needed to talk."Can we go to your room to talk? Unless you and Mom didn't clean up, and it's too messy in there," Salem aske

    Grace’s Point of ViewAs I opened my eyes, I realized that the bed was empty. Aamon was not there, and I could feel the coldness of the sheets where he had been laying. He must have left a while ago. I sat up quickly, pulling the sheets closer to my body for warmth. I let out a sigh, hoping that everything was alright. This was something that I needed to get used to once again, especially now that Aamon was in charge of the organization.As I dressed, I realized Rei had no clothes to change into. I rummaged through the bag of unpacked clothing and found a pair of jeans, a t-shirt, underwear, and a bra that would fit her. This would suffice for now; we could find a more permanent solution for Rei and Xavier's clothing later. Xavier had left everything behind at his apartment to get Rei to the hospital on time, so he also needed some clothes. Fortunately, I found a T-shirt and a pair of grey sweatpants that should fit him well enough. Aamon and Xavier had similar builds, which worked out

    Shiloh’s Point of ViewI rolled my eyes as Salem ranted about Mr. Shiny Light Pants being a real person and how we were too clueless to see him. Eventually, he quieted down and started playing the game with Onyx. I couldn't help but reflect on how Salem had always believed that someone was watching over us, even when we were younger. Maybe he was right all along. With everything going on and our world turned upside down, I had to admit that anything was possible now.I leaned back in my seat and let out a deep sigh. Onyx glanced at me with concern, but I shook my head slightly and silently mouthed, "I'm okay, just exhausted." He nodded in understanding and mouthed back, "Me too." Strangely, this experience had brought my brothers and me closer than ever before. I had a feeling we would need each other even more as we adapted to our new lives and identities.Would we end up at the same school? Would people talk about us? It was obvious Mom was going to marry Xavier. His love for her was

    X’s Point of ViewJust as I had done with Kaz, I guided Lillianna toward the light. It was effortless with Kaz; I respected the Don and enjoyed his company. However, I couldn't stand Lillianna. Yet, there was a glimmer of something in her that I couldn't ignore. After she crossed over to the light completely, I turned to leave."You're not coming with me, are you?" she asked."No," I replied."Will we ever meet again?" Lillianna's voice trembled with emotion."Not if I have any say in it," I responded sharply.“I loved him, you know. In my own way, I loved Xavier. And maybe, just maybe, he could have loved me back,” Lillianna revealed.“But you knew his heart was devoted to someone else, yet you persisted in your pursuit of him. He was never yours to claim. While Xavier may have shared his body with you, his heart always belonged to Rei. And it always will,” I retorted.“You love Rei. I can't quite comprehend who or what you are, but I recognize that feeling of loving someone you can n

    Lillianna’s Point of ViewThe audacity of Aamon was unfathomable. Without a second thought, he had given my hard-earned jobs to Chloe, someone who had no business taking them from me. My head spun with fury, drowning out any sounds around me until Iris appeared, her cold voice cutting through the chaos. Before I could react, a searing pain ripped through my abdomen as her bullet tore into me. I felt my insides lurch and knew she had hit vital organs. The shock was almost too much to bear as I gasped for air, realizing this was how I imagined my end. A scream rose in my throat, but was stifled by the shock and agony coursing through my body. All I could do was curse fate for this cruel and undeserved death as I bled out on the floor in front of the bathroom. Rage turned to despair as my last thoughts faded into darkness.Chloe’s Point of ViewI couldn't believe what I had just witnessed. Iris had made a grand entrance and delivered a deadly blow with precision and finality. As I stood t
