…Mekayla POV…
Perfect! Absolutely perfect!There is no Caruso International.How can that even be? He clearly said his name was Xavien Caruso. Maybe I am spelling it wrong."Pearce International."Even more less than nothing. Did I really get his last name wrong? Even more terrifying did he give me the wrong name, to begin with. Why would Xavien want to be so secretive about his dad's company? I cannot foresee it to be such a big deal. I mean, all my dad's little companies were big to him. But yes, a girl never guesses a size to a boy.So this has now become a lot more complicated than I thought it would be. But not truly, the question begs, how big is our boy on social media? God, do I even want to search his name? Well, no matter what it comes up with, I need to find him. So here it goes, I pull my laptop closer again and type with fingers beyond a snail's pace."Xavien Caruso."Oh my god!…Xavien POV…W…Xavien POV…Xavien Caruso, I would like to say that I am proud that I let everyone believe that it was truly my real name. Well, it is, in fact, half of it. I am better known as Xavien Chase, I carry the last name of my father proudly, but when I left this life behind in the first place, I left with being a Caruso. Caruso being the last name my mother held before she married, so in a true sense, I never once did lie; I just made it hard for people to find me. If you are running away from a life, you need not have a tie that binds you there. For me, it was always changing my last name.The only man that knows the game of deceit I play is Steve, my father's dear friend and the lawyer of the company. He is sitting with me, going over the final draft of changing Caruso Enterprises to Chase Enterprises. My dad did name the Company after my mom all that years ago; I wish to make it a family legacy.But this man is sitting oddly and smiling at me as if his tee
…Xavien POV…Was it all real?My mind plays over what my body just felt. Every aching bone tells me that I had Mekayla between my very arms only but a few moments ago. Yet my mind tells me that I must be going crazy. But if I am indeed so crazy, why do I have a rather furious Candice staring back at me. The woman that I have been trying so hard to run away from, had her lips so elegantly and so sweetly locked with mine.Whom am I fooling?I need her more than I want to admit, and she is here, I am not letting her slip away, not again. I am afraid that if I continue my foolishness that she will be lost to me forever. I can only but show the deepest regret in my eye as I look at Candice."Sorry, but I have to do this.""It is fine Xavien, go before she is gone."With a soft peck on the cheek, I leave her standing, I know that it is not fine for her, but at least she will understand.It is with haste that I make my way into the ball
…Mekayla POV…"Are you sure you want to do this?" Xavien speaks between long, drugging kisses that consume my senses, he cups one cheek in a strong, warm hand and meets my gaze with a searing look. He kisses me again, growling low in the back of his throat. My hands find their way into his thick, dark hair as he catches my bottom lip in his teeth, nibbling and licking at it until I think I might perish from the intensity of the feeling. I whimper at the sensation, and he rewards the sound by deepening the kiss, giving me everything I desire.Taking Xavien's hand, I slide it up my thigh, slipping his fingers under the seams of my dress, his other hand gripping tight onto my waist. My hand is moving up his leg, my fingers gently grazing his hard length. His body is trembling as he moves his hand further under my skirt. I am becoming a wet mess, my body aching for him to be between my legsHe spins me around and pushes my chest hard into the wall, pinning m
…Xavien POV…If I have not said this before, I shall say this again. I need to stop for one moment and take a step back, for beyond all the craziness that filled our lives, I need to allow myself to remember what drives me, and it is Mekayla. What makes this all worthwhile is the beauty that lies in my arms. Should I not have had her presence in my life, I would not have had the sheer willpower to take the impossible on.To have beauty in your life is easy, but to have the beauty of the woman that you love and the one that loves you in return is the greatest gift that one can experience. I can, with all honesty, say that there is no doubt that she completes my life. To be lonely for eternity can be seen as a life sentence, but having what you crave, is the greatest blessing.The woman that is now staring at me with that beautiful smile is the love of my life.Do we even need to speak of what has happened that had drawn us apart for what seems like f
…Xavien POV…There are times in your life when you just know that something is right. My love for Mekayla, that is beyond anything I ever imagine to enter my life. And with the utmost confidence, I can see this woman completes me. She took Xavien Caruso, Chase, whichever way you take it, but she made this man. And as she is lying here in my arms, I know that the love I feel bubbling in my heart is the very same love that she feels.So then there come those moments, a moment such as this that you know that something is just right. And even though I cannot find the words to come from my mouth without stumbling over my feet, I can say with all certainty that I need not even have to ask the question.Yet, here I am a mumbling fool, that is ready, even though some might say that it is too soon, I desire to talk our relationship to the next level. Now without further embarrassing myself, I find the courage and as it is only going to last a few seconds, I immed
…Xavien POV…Tortured bliss is what I feel every time she ran circles through my mind last night as I sought the comfort of my bed. Never has one woman consumed my dreams in total ecstasy. I could feel her delicate fingers running down my sculpted chest as she laid spread over my body. In nothing but red lace, she filled the empty space that is now only meant for her. Even though my hands had the desire, I left her untouched. I want to take my time with her; I want to feel her presence and let her linger until she begs.Somehow I think that it is me that is going to do the begging. I will count the seconds as I patiently wait for her to give me her body and soul once again. I want her to not only be with me; I want us to become as one. She shall be the one that will be undoing. She has become my now, my present; she is the driving force that will determine what I do next.And next is me that is scanning the floor from one blonde to the other. There is no
…Xavien POV....I am sitting somewhat worried that Mekayla has not returned to the table yet. She has been gone for nearly half an hour, and it just does not feel right to me. So, just as I am about to get up, a young woman, who looks quite off, now when I say off, she is just a bit on the odd side, well she walks up to me and I feel that things are just about to go completely south from here. But then she asks me rather peculiarly to follow her to the ladies. Now first off that rather worries me, for her boldness is downright scary, well just as scary as she is. I reluctantly, even though I have no idea why, but I do as she asks thinking nothing quite of it.So as we get to the ladies, she once again strangely asks me to follow her inside, but that is right where I stop her, "Sorry but I do not quite know what your intention is, I will just tell you off bluntly that I am in no way interested."She only but chuckles at me and shows me once again to go inside, "
…Mekayla POV…I am running as fast as I can down the corridor away from the Doctor's Rooms; as I turn around, I watch as Xavien comes running after me. I do not want to walk into a place that is only going to cause me even more heartache than I already have. It feels like my life is ending; I don't want anything to happen now that Xavien and I have found each other. Yes, I might be overreacting but I know that something is not right. I am not doing this; I don't care who says what.But this running is not helping, I am only getting out of breath, and soon I shall collapse to the ground from exhaustion. I guess I am my own worst enemy, for I have just made myself feel even weaker than I was before. So I start to slow down, and as I look back, I see Xavien gain his ground and come to stand next to me. Then the man has a stupid grin on his face."What do you find so amusing?""For someone that is sick, you can run quite fast.""Or it is just you t
...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
