Ghost From The Past

2022-01-02 17:54:35…Xavien POV…
At this time of year, we all get lost in reruns of The Grinch, that god ugly man that comes to steal Christmas. But then there is Scrooge, the ghost of the past, the present, and the future. Well, the question here is, did she come to steal Christmas, or is she a ghost of my past? Whichever one, she is definitely not welcome. My present is firmly in place, and the only woman I see in my future is Mekayla. Yeah, I am being a bit optimistic, but we have become fairly closer tonight...Until now...And then my present becomes even more real, for she has spotted me and is now making her way over here. I guess if I went and hid away, someone would have told her where to find me anyway. I am just relieved that Mekayla did not see her with me, but then again, it is quite a nasty thing to do, given who she is. My father would have frowned at my behavior and told me to play nice as he always reminded me so very often.Then she is finally right in fronRelated chapters
The Billionaire Contract Run Mekayla Run
…Mekayla POV…I watch as the man before me looks like he's just been running for a long time. He's out of breath and standing with his hands on his knees. I then ask him again."What are you doing here?""I came after you; please let me explain.""There's nothing to explain. Why would you want to explain? You live your life, and I'll live mine, right?""I promised you that I would meet you. I'm a man that keeps my word. Please let me explain what happened. Please, Mekayla?""I guess I can't stop you from explaining?""I did not know that she was going to be in town. Hell, I never thought she would find me here.""So, you like to run from women?""No! No! She is not that type of woman.""Oh, so there's a type? You only associate with certain women?""God no! Well, maybe when it comes to her, I do."I can't believe a word he's telling me. Everything he says makes no sense. I lift my hand in dismissal and turn my

...Xavien POV...Why does Mekayla keep running away from me? We have this connection; I can feel it. It is burning deep inside the inner passages of my heart. She has touched my soul in such a gentle way; all I desire is to be near her all the time. This playboy with the ego and cocky smile has been brought to his knees by this exquisite beauty. I do not know when we will be together again, but it has already been too long.Did seeing me with Rebecca really have such an impact on her? I did not intentionally hurt her; I would never do such a thing to her. She needs to be loved and protected. I want to be the man that wraps his arms protectively around her shoulders, morning, day, and night.But now I have Rebecca waiting for me at home. I still do not know why she is here. I am going to find out the minute I set my foot through that door. I want her to leave; she is only messing up my life. I have a fairly good idea why she has made it all the way out here, but I want

…Mekayla POV…I feel my heart pressing up against my ribcage as I know that Xavien is only a few feet away hiding inside the toilet stall and Raymond is standing right in front of me. What is it with men walking into the ladies' bathroom without knocking?"What do you mean, what's going on? I'm just splashing some cold water on my face""Are you lying to me? I saw a man walking in here"He walks closer to me. "Why would I lie to you?""Well, Mekayla, you seem to be the kind of girl that wants to break the rules. I told you that we needed to be seen together for your mother to like me but you just can't keep your eyes off another man while you're sitting with me? You think I didn't see you staring?""I…I…wasn't staring at another man…I was just admiring the beautiful decor"He walks even closer and I feel the familiar feeling of fear controlling me. I need to get out of here. I understand now why my parents like hi
Last Updated : 2022-01-05The Billionaire Contract Running Into Trouble
...Xavien POV...With every step I take away from Mekayla, my heart is crushed into small pieces. Every bone in my body wants to turn back and take her into my arms. I need to protect her and not turn a blind eye to what is happening. She does not have to be alone even though she insists that she should. I am not a man that walks away from a woman in need; having to leave her like that goes against everything I stand for.And to make it even worse is the man I have to leave her in there with. This man just had her pressed up against a wall, and believe me; it is not in a good way. Who knows what else he is capable of. What is up with the men in her life that treat her this way. I don't understand how she just lets it happen. Surely she knows that she deserves better than men like Raymond. I should have knocked him harder than I did.So as I walk back to the table, I see Molly look at me in a cheeky way and smile."I hope that you did that to him.""The man i

…Mekayla POV…I'm on your way back home from a date that I, in the first place, didn't even want to go on, and now I come back with a huge amount of trouble on my shoulders. I loved the way that Xavien cared for me, and if it wasn't for him, I don't know where I would be. I would probably be coming home with a few new bruises. I look back on my life, and I know that I need to open up to someone about what's going on in my life, and if I'm honest with myself, Xavien will be that man.But first, I need to deal with whatever is waiting for me at home. After paying for the taxi that took me home. I slowly walk up the daunting stairs opening the front door. To my surprise, my mom is opening the door and standing with a big smile on her face."And? How was it?""Was what?""Your date?""Mother, I came back in a taxi…what do you think?""It must mean that he had to go somewhere urgently? You know he has a great many businesses that he
Last Updated : 2022-01-06The Billionaire Contract The Man Behind The Façade
…Xavien POV…There are some things in your life you wish you never had to think of. Some things that you wish you can sweep underneath the rug and hope that is where they will stay. Now I have had my fair share of bad luck, if not by my own hands, then by the one of another. Now, if you think you can keep them right where they belong, then you are sorely mistaken. They will find a way to pop their head up when you least expect it.Now there is a story that I do not often tell; in fact, not even Mr. Sinclair and Billy know of it. There was a girl that I met through a good friend of mine; I truly did fall head over heels in love with her. We spend almost every waking moment together, so it was only natural that I asked for her hand in marriage. So as all things got with couples at this stage of a relationship, I trusted her with everything. But I never expected her to show me what her true colors were. How she waited patiently for a year is beyond my understand

…Xavien POV…Leaving my father's old offices does remind me of so many things. The thing is that it is not just my father's office, but it is mine. I am supposed to sit up in that big old office and order people around. That…that is just not me. I do not wish to spend my life living with material things that shall bring you joy for only a few minutes. I believe in building meaningful relationships with people; live a simple life with simple things. I doubt that I shall ever come to take my rightful place here.Pushing this to the back of my mind, I leave the city; I leave the Xavien that I do not wish to be behind. It has been a rather eventful week so far. But not all of it was bad; I have come closer to Mekayla every time I see her; we are building that bond, that relationship. We are creating the very thing that I desire the most, but I am yet too scared to look for it. Women will always emphasize their broken hearts, but they fail to notice that me

…Mekayla POV…With the kiss between Xavien and me still very much alive in my thoughts, I climb the wall to get into my window, but I stop halfway as the thought of his lips on mine captivated me completely for a moment, and I experience it all over again. I get back through my window and who do I find waiting for me in my room. My mother."Hello, mother.""Hello, mother? Is that all you can say? I have been waiting for you for over an hour, and then I had to make some lousy excuse as to why you did not come back from freshening up?""I told you that I do not like Raymond and that he is only after your money.""And I have told you that you are wrong about him. I have seen what kind of a person he is, and he will be a good husband for you like your father is to me."Well, that is an understatement of the year. As I recall throughout my childhood that my dad did a little more than just talk to my mother, and she was more than once away on "h

She has been going to see this doctor, but to me, it does not seem that there is any approvement. Now, I have asked her and the doctor what is going on, but neither of them wants to tell me. And as for Tina, Mekayla has not told her either.Now she is here working herself up, and believe me; I ain't the one telling a pregnant woman that is about to give birth to calm down. Well, not that she would listen because what I say really does not count, for she does keep on reminding me that we have separated. She does not want to understand my perspective, and I don't know what is wrong with her.

The Billionaire Contract Fix What Is Broken
…Mekayla POV…I am losing my husband; in fact, I think that I have already lost him. My insecurities have taken me over. I fear that I am not strong enough, or even a good even wife for him, for I cannot keep myself together. I have taken my failure to trust him about how I feel out on him. How is he supposed to have meant to know that I was going through a hard time dealing with what happened? If I only sat down with him, then he would not have left our home.So here I have Tina, that is just as frustrated at me for not wanting to listen, for refusing to go speak to a doctor that will listen. Have I really gone that mad that I find myself in this room? I have trusted no one to help me; why should I trust someone to help me now? Our precious little babies are to be born in a few weeks, and here I cannot control my emotions. Not the hormonal ones, but the ones that will drive you to insanity.I guess I drove the man away from me that I truly did love. I h
The Billionaire Contract The Lessons Of Life
...Xavien POV...I have moved back to the ranch and have been here for two weeks now. I can honestly say that I feel more relaxed and myself again. I have been able to do the things that I enjoy and still run my company at the same timeAs for Mekayla, yes, I miss her a lot. We keep in contact regularly, but that is mainly talking about the babies though. I try at all costs not to say anything else to avoid getting into an argument. Well, not that I am saying that the arguments have stopped, for I do get the angry message and then a call out of the blue.It has been a real challenge having to start a new life again when you thought that you had the perfect one. Every time I look at those divorce papers, I really wonder if we did just moved into things too quickly. Perhaps, if I did not insist on us marrying so soon, things would have been different. Who knows? All that I know is that our marriage has not been working.Tina has been struggling to get Mekayla to th
The Billionaire Contract More Than The Eyes Can See
…Mekayla POV...Things between Xavien and me have not been going well. We are constantly fighting, and it just seems to me that he has lost all interest in the babies and me. His work has become more important to him. He is a completely different man; I honestly do not know who he is anymore. In a way, I think that Xavien and me moved too fast, too soon.I know that I am hormonal and that the pregnancy is taking more out of me than I thought it would. I am not coping; the idea of having to bring up two babies scares me. I don't know if I will even be a good mom if I cannot be a good wife. But then again, Xavien himself is not really trying.Instead of us talking this out, we are just running apart. I feel like I am losing my mind. I am falling into a deep depression. I want to have it all, I want to have two beautiful babies, a handsome husband, and a perfect career, but right now, all I have is the fear of bringing these two into the world.It is not like
The Billionaire Contract What Is Left Fighting For?
. ...Xavien POV...I have moved out into the guest room permanently.Things in the Caruso household have gone from tense to nothing at all. Mekayla and me barely talk to each other, and when we do, we find ourselves in an argument. I have stopped counting the number of stupid things that we fight over. That damn cribs are still standing there; Grant told her to sort her shit out and to stop being so unreasonable. Now when I wanted to agree with him, I found a plate come flying towards my head.Mekayla has gone completely insane, and I mean that in the nicest of ways.She is working herself up to a frenzy every day, which the doctor told her to clearly stop doing for her stress levels are not good for the babies. She is going for thirty-four weeks soon, and she is going on like a complete lunatic.I have found any and every reason to stay at work these days, and of course, I am having an affair with Barbara.

The Billionaire Contract The Honeymoon Is Over
..Xavien POV...I guess at some stage in every marriage; the honeymoon phase becomes over. Well, that has no officially happened with Mekayla and me. Now, if I say that we want to kill each other, then that is a slight understatement. We cannot be in the same room for longer than a few minutes before heading out into an argument. Mekayla has become completely unbearable to be around. I do understand the woman is pregnant, but her behavior is completely irrational.This morning I am trying to sneak out of what has been my new room, the guest room, for what is now the third night in a row. I am trying to get out of the house before she sees me to start yet another fight over something that I have not done or, even worse, that I have forgotten about.So after having a shower, which, unfortunately, I cannot do in silence, I quickly get dressed and head downstairs with my laptop bag in hand.
