I close the door behind me and lean against it, holding the scarf close to my chest. It feels as if I'm in some fairytale. Prince charming calling at my door, giving me something that I lost and is dear to my heart, which I thought I'll never see again. I close my eyes and bathe in the eternities of this impressively attractive man that just stood at my door."What are you doing?"I jump when I hear the high pitch voice of Tina."Nothing…nothing. Do you want something?""Well now that you mention it…"Oh god, I shouldn't have said anything. She's just going to let me listen to one of her stories of how she achieved something when no one else could. Then someone opens the front door. It's my brother Tyler."Well look what the cat dragged in. I never thought we'll see you around these parts again little sis?"Of course, he calls me little sis. To him, I'm nothing but the same girl that bothered him and hRelated chapters
The Billionaire Contract Cozy By The Fireplace
...Xavien POV...There is more of a chill in the air this morning, winter is setting in, and the snow has taken over the town. It truly is a winter wonderland; that is if you are into the whole jolly season thing. People mostly celebrate it for all the wrong reasons. Christmas is a time for families, not 'let me see who can buy you the most expensive gift.'So the cold is stopping me from taking my morning walk, but perhaps it is my dreary mood from yesterday. I told myself that I would not bring my irritation from yesterday into this morning. Yet I have, and that is about to increase itself. Guess what? She is phoning again."Morning Becky.""Morning X.""It is Xavien. What do you want?""Sorry I did not phone back last night.""I did not expect you to. You never were good with things like...timing."This has already been the longest three minutes of my life. There is a reason why people become your ex. In Becky's instance, there is a little

…Mekayla POV…I can't believe I just flirted like that with him. I need to get away from this. I don't know what I need to get away from, but he's too much for me right now. I didn't know seeing him would bring out so many unknown feelings. I didn't realize that he could consume me so, with just his presence. I thought I was prepared to see him, but when he slapped himself and apologized so profusely, I just couldn't take another reasonable breath. He made me lose all my control.I speed walk out of the shop and stand against the icy wall of the shop just to take a breath, but then I see Raymond's car. What is he doing here so early in the morning? Does no one sleep in this town anymore? I can't handle him right now. Oh god, he's coming this way. I try to find a place to hide, and the best place I could find is behind one of the trucks. I quickly hide behind the first truck I can find.I'll watch him walk past and then make my way to my car. Urgh, everyt

...Xavien POV...I have just punched a man, not just anyone; it is Raymond Young. I have wanting to put a hand full of knuckles in his face for quite some time now. The man is nothing better than a foul mouth pig, mostly towards women. The second I heard him say that he is going to ride Mekayla like a pony, something just snapped inside of me. I did not even hesitate to connect my fist to his face. Now to say that the punch did not hurt like a bitch would be a lie, for I gave it all I had.And it is with satisfaction on my face that I watch him stumble and fall against the wall. It takes all off me not to punch the asshole again. So I just leave him with a friendly warning."Next time, I break your jaw."Before he can say another word, I disappear inside the shop to fetch my things. In little less than a minute, I find myself sitting in my truck, trying to calm my racing heart down.The moment my fist connected with Raymond's face, I realized that I have a p

…Mekayla POV…Well, this is just what I need. I've had my fair share of ex-boyfriends but Eddie is one of the special ones. He believed we were made for each other and that there's no greater love in his life. Don't get me wrong, I love it when my boyfriends carry me on their hands but Eddie is, well, let's just say he's a bit over the top. He would always say how we would be married and our ten children would run around in the yard while my parents would come and visit their grandchildren.All I can say is, that sentence has a few things wrong with it. So I let him down easy after a few weeks of dating him and he never has forgiven me ever since."Oh no! It's Eddie! Don't people sleep in this town?"I try and hide behind Suzie cracking herself up next to me."You know that town folk around these parts gets up early, especially lover boy over there""It's not funny. He can't see me. He'll just try to ask me-"Just then Eddie found his

...Xavien POV...Now that was a close call, not that I don't mind seeing her, but I wonder what has got her so spooked. And why was she crying? It breaks my heart to see her hurt; I wish I could pull her in my arms and take the edge of the pain that is written all over her gorgeous face. Though she did say she was going on a date, maybe she is just nervous about that.It does not make sense; why would she flirt with me if she is seeing someone else. I hate to think that she might be like her sister, which we all know of the rumors that had been going around her. Maybe if I moved a bit faster, it would be me that she is spending tonight with.But I cannot dwell on things that I have no control over. What I have control over is the ache in my heart, and what better way to take the pain away than drowning yourself in your sorrows. So I do what I rarely do around here, I stop at the local bar to have a beer before I head home.And do I regret coming here for it is pa

…Mekayla POV…I watch in horror as I see my brother walking my way. It's clear to me that my perfect brother has had one too many and is clearly out to make some trouble and that trouble is heading my way. I quickly straighten myself and mentally prepare myself for what's about to happen. He's never been happily married ever since I told him about his wife and now, somehow he blames me for his failure of a marriage.I look back at Xavien that's sitting next to me and then it hits me. My brother is probably going to take a crack at him too."I'm so sorry, Xavien"He looks at me as if to ask me why I just said that and then my drunk brother arrives at our table."Well, well, well…if it isn't my little sis and the bad boy of the town. You're doing well for yourself, sis, not even in town for a day and you're already out to get some?"I feel anger and embarrassment filling up in my soul and I feel like slapping him through the face but
Last Updated : 2021-12-31The Billionaire Contract Being Taught A Lesson
...Xavien POV...If I did not think that I can get anymore overwhelmed by her, she brings me to my knees again as she goes and does that. As I watch her bite into her lip, every sensation in my body shoots straight to my core. I no longer have just a desire to protect her, but there is a far greater desire that wants me to make her mine. And to make it even more of a torture is the way she sways those hips from side to side. This time it is me that bites into my lips and a soft growl escapes my lips.But as I get lost in the fantasy that is her, I see Tyler come from the other side of the floor. He is heading straight for her. I know I said that I should not get involved. Well, Mr. Winters is leaving me with no other choice. So I find myself heading in the same direction. And as I hear their voices, I come running outside.I feel an incredible rage consume my body as I see Tyler grab Mekayla by the arm so hard that she shouts out in pain. I thought this man would list

…Mekayla POV…I watch as Xavien walks away hesitantly, but then I see him wince while grabbing his side. Tyler must've hurt him somehow. Damn you, Tyler! I'm happy that Xavien saved me from most likely getting a beating but now, Xavien is the one that got hurt. It would be some kind of miracle if he ever speaks to me again. My life is such a mess, and my family, well, I guess that speaks for itself after Tyler showed him their true colors.I walk toward Tyler lying unconscious on the ground. I'm not sure what to do, should I help him in the car and take him home? But then there's a high possibility that I would get the blame for the state of his face and his drunkness. Or I could leave him on the ground, and hopefully he'll forget that I was even involved. As I stand there to decide what to do, it's clear to me that I would get the blame for this no matter what I do, so I decided to escape while I can.As I get into my car, I see his friends come running

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
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.
