...Xavien POV...
Today is the day. It might as well be my wedding day, for I feel that I am near damn going to faint.So Mekayla slammed me back with a condition of her own. If I want to get married before the babies are born, then she wants to have some dreadful engagement party. Well, I think I am nearly going to die; for a fourth time, I need to go down on my knee and ask her for her hand in marriage. Now, if the second and third time asking her parents was not bad enough, I have to do it in front of a whole room of family and friends.So, while she is running around for what is the fifth dress to wear now, I sit in a silent chuckle as I find it rather amusing. Now all of them are all white; the first thing she so kindly pointed out to me is that you get different shades of white; well, that does not seem obvious to me at all. The second thing is that my blue shirt is not matching her white dress. Now I should have never asked her if it is the right kind of white,...Xavien POV...This engagement party has got me stressed. Why I let my princess convince me to do this, is beyond my senses. Everyone is running around like a bunch of crazy people.But let us forget about the people running around like crazy people, that perky ass has been running up and down past me this whole morning, and every time she does fuck! I get hard. But wait...the little minx is not even wearing panties, and she conveniently forgot to wear that pink bra she was so eagerly sporting the other day.The girl is driving me crazy.I so seriously want to slap that ass for making me so very frustrated.But...then she comes walking up to me."Hey.""Hey, princess. What is wrong, well apart from you lacking underwear? Did you run out of fresh ones?""No, I just love how the cool air blows against me.""God, give me ten minutes, and I will blow more than cool air against you.""Xavien!""Princess, the next time that skirt fl
...Xavien POV...As I look at Mekayla in disbelief at the very woman that none of us ever thought would show her face, here again, she comes walking up straight to us with the most mysterious smile on her face. She is clearly up to something, and god knows who gave her the permission to be here or how she has always conveniently invited her herself. Now this will explain the presence of Damian himself. Apart from Damian that has two pinkies left, he still does not have the idea in his head that he is not allowed to be near Mekayla. Does the man want me to cut off his thumb or punch in his face and break every single bone in his nose? Well, I will likely not hesitate in doing that for him.I cannot see that Catalina, Tyler, Tina, or Grant can be behind any of this woman who has once again found herself into a party that is not hers by the looks of it. She has brought her Damian as her plus one. Well, that is not going to happen with me today.'Well, Damian, I don
...Xavien POV...After we bid our farewell to everyone, we make the drive home. Arriving at home does bring much needed relief; my intention is to retire to my room and not to leave it at least for another day. And I do see the same sentiment on my princess's face. But what I also noticed is that cheeky smile that is starting to rise at the corner of her lips. In such a strange time, I become aware of her arousal."Princess, I do believe that you possess somewhat of a dilemma...""Xavien.""Yes, Princess?""You shall possess your own dilemma if you wish to continue your sentence."So it is in awe as I watch her make elegant strides as she ascends the stairs. She moves every curve to perfect precision, her hips rock from side to side, and it peaks my arousal. I have to fight the desire to pull her back and take her right at this very moment. I can so easily push her petite frame into this very wall that is presenting itself at the perfect timing, and tha
…Mekayla POV…This morning Tina decided to pop in her head for a visit. So Xavien was all glad and happy to have her here and even went as far as to go and squeeze her some fresh fruit juice. He has been making me drink an enormous amount of the stuff, for he believe it is going to make the baby healthy and strong. Let me not even go to all the damn carrots he is making me eat. Well, I don't know what the man is reading, but I think he is rather reading some comic book underneath those books he is so dug into.So as he came back and casually joined in the conversation, he caught the last bit of what we were discussing. Well, what he heard, now directly from Tina's mouth, "Mekayla, we need to start planning for the babies' arrival."Well, rather shocked, he replied, "But that is still a little over six months away. What on earth do you need to plan so soon."Now he should not have even asked that question in the first place.'Well, for first, yo
…Xavien POV…Today Tina has graced us with her presence yet once again today. This time with yet a little notebook. I swear this woman has a bunch of notebooks lying around her house that just comes in conveniently when she needs them.Her aim today…to come to lend a hand in the wedding preparations, now if you ask me, she is about to take it over completely. So I have promised Mekayla that I shall refrain from making any comments.Now her utmost urgency is that that we have decided to get married in little less than twelve weeks.Yes, kind of crazy, but yet completely insaneNow perfect people in a perfect world would do this in perhaps twelve months or even six, but we are Mr. and Mrs. Xavien Caruso, and nothing will ever go a plan in our life. Now poor Catalina wanted to come to lend a hand, but Tina told her she has it all under control now; who wants to argue with a monster on a mission. "So," hence she starts, and whene
...Xavien POV...This morning when I step into the kitchen, I am met by someone pinning me to a wall.My first immediate thought is that I have an intruder, and I did not see Mekayla when I left the bed when I got up just a moment ago.So as I open my eyes, I see Mekayla standing in front of me. Her hands are pressed against the wall next to me while she takes the other to caress my cheek."My god, princess, you nearly gave me a heart attack."She only but giggles at me as she moves those soft velvety lips closer to mine. It feels so soft; I just want to be near her, near her skin. I want to run my lips over her body. I want to feel her heart throbbing through her veins. But most of all, I want to taste her.I hear her softly whisper my name, "Xavien.""Yes, princess."She closes her eyes, and I can see she is getting as much pleasure as I do from it. I flip her around and press her tiny from backward into the wall.She leans her head bac
...Mekayla POV...Xavien is busy driving me mad; if he rubs my stomach one more time and calls my children baby bugs, then I am going to cut his hands off. So we have left Brendan and him alone at home and come out for lunch.It is just mom, Tina and me. And seeing that this town is so damn small any other woman at the coffee shop. But as long as I get away from Mr. Caruso, I don't mind having Lucy in my face, and they sell that chocolate chip ice cream that I love so much.So after what seems like an hour of not being able to find anything to wear and a very wise-ass Xavien, we are being shown to a seat at the coffee shop."Sis, I am sorry to say, but you are starting to look like some oddly shaped teddy bear."I nearly slap Tina off her chair, "You just sound like my husband to be. And I am going to slap you just as hard as I slap him.""Talking about husband-to-be," Catalina turns to me. "How are the wedding arrangements going?""It is going now
...Xavien POV...I was waiting for this one to show its ugly head again. I did not quite think it would be quite so soon, but seeing that the woman must have found out that I am getting married any day, say now, she needs to sweep in and come to make trouble. Now, what does she think she can achieve?"What do you want, Becky? Did you lose Mark or something?""I just came to visit," she tries to convince me, fluttering those damn fake eyelashes of hers."Who did you come to visit? I doubt that anyone in this town wants to be seen with you, I am sure not even Lucy.""Is it such a sin to come to a town and visit?"I look at her suspiciously, ya, visit a town. "We would not see your hands get dirty in a place like this. Now either you got lost, or you are here for a purpose."She looks around, most probably to see if she can see Mekayla around, then she continues, "You are making a big mistake marrying this girl. She is only after your money.""Oh
...Xavien POV...Life does not always go as you plan. Your best-laid plans are sometimes going to fail. The question is, how do you deal with failure?Well, life is made up of these defining moments; it is up to you have you let these moments affect you, for they shall shape who you are and what you will become.How do you deal with a marriage that you thought was completely stable, a marriage you thought was heaven-born.You cant.I simply don't.I have never known failure in my life, yet though, I have had my share of heartache. Heartache makes up that defining moment. And my choice is never to love again.Yes, it sounds like some country and western song; hey, I can even throw my boots on and dance to it. The sad what is, when something comes to an end, then it comes to an end.Mekayla was, well, yes, as her name says, Mekayla. Mekayla that comes with sunshine, that brings a new day. She was the light of my life. I will not
...Xavien POV...The day has finally arrived.Today the babies are born.Mekayla is completely petrified, pacing the room as she is trying to get into her hospital gown. 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. At this rate, it is not helping us both.So once she has put on that godawful hospital gown, the nurses come to push her bed through to the operating theatre. Not once does she hold my hand as we move thro
…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
...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
…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
. ...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. Well, if I wanted to have an affair, I wo
..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. The moment I step my last step towards the door, I near jump as I hear her voice c
...Xavien POV...It is a very long and painful drive back to the Winters's mansion. My dear wife is not in a good mood today. She, as of a few minutes ago, decided that she does not like the dress that she is wearing. So guess what?I had to turn around and go home.Now we are finally back on the road to the town, officially extremely late. Yet, she is still not in a better mood. Mekayla is absolutely grumpy. The snacks that I packed for her are completely wrong. The way I cut the pickle is not right and let us not forget that I did not put enough strawberries with the chocolate spread.She is absolutely impossible.I am already annoyed as it is because we are living in the damn city again, and now my wife is driving me insane. Mekayla is in her own world by herself; she only lives for her; I don't know if she sees the babies as real little people or toys that she can dress up. She has been buying the most ridiculous outfits online, I am putting it
