…Mekayla POV…
The time has come for me to turn the corner. The time has come for me to make my bridal walk towards the man that I will be spending the rest of my life with. This is the very last moment that I can still decide to do this and turn around and run. But as I peek my head around to where he is standing at the altar, I know that I am exactly where I want to be.With a very nervous Tina behind me, and an even more terrified father, I am being urged on to make my bridal walk down a carpet that is covered with, yes, much to Xavien's horror; it is covered in pink rose petals.So I slip my arm through my dad's, Tina pulls at my hair, mom checks my dress, and I have a quick look at my make-up. Tina then looks at me, "Now let us get this wedding on the way."I take one step forward and then another, short and hesitant, but slowly to my future. Then the wedding march starts playing, and I know that it is time to go. So I slip in that corning in ab...Xavien POV...Our wedding was absolutely beautiful. After every disaster that happened, everything turned out perfect and just the way that Mekayla wanted it. It was her fairytale, and she was beyond happy. Apart from me being a ball of nerves and almost passing out a few times, I actually managed to get through the ceremony. And at least Mekayla did not say much about the amount of whiskey that I did have on my breath. I think if she could, well, she would have done the same.The reception was just as perfect; it was just with all our friends and the real family members that we needed. Thank god, there was not embarrassing speeches and story to be told from when I was a young extremely naughty boy. I think Mekayla would have been embarrassed if she heard of more of what I got up to when I was small.Our first dance was like the very first time I met her, it was special, and it is something that I will always remember. Though we really did not have much of a
...Xavien POV...Getting to know the person you love all over again is almost as refreshing as spring rain. Mekayla has shown me a whole different part to her; the all serious, all the time Mekayla has made a place for this funny and carefree one. If it was possible, I even love her more now.We had an amazing evening on the beach last night. That one kiss just stayed there, one kiss. Even though I wanted more, I just got enough of what I wanted at the time. Oh, I promise you, I am going to sneak in a few more; she is going to say yes; she just does not know it yet.The next morning my excited and ever so damn horny ass is awake at the crack of dawn. "Morning, sleepyhead. If you not up and ready in half an hour, then you going to force me to bring my sweet ass in there.""Morning, Mr. Caruso, even though I would love to see that sweet ass so early in the morning, this sleepy head is already awake.""Well, if you weren't, you would not be talking to me,
...Xavien POV...Today I am taking Mekayla on a boat cruise to one of the small little islands. She is even more excited than she was yesterday when we went snorkeling. It is a small beautiful cruise boat that has a place where you can sit on soft white coaches and a long deck where one can tan. Knowing her, she is going to take as much sun as she possibly can.I am standing in the bathroom, getting ready while she is patiently counting the minutes away."Are you ready yet?" I hear her scream from the room. "You are taking awfully long inside of there."I only but chuckle at her as I walk back into the room, "Are you perhaps timing me?""I am starving, and I would like to get to the boat while the sun is still up."I tackle her down to the bed and look at her into those deep beautiful eyes, "The sun is only coming up now, and don't use the babies against me."She laughs at me as she tries to squirm away, "Oh no, you not going anywhere, princess, un
...Xavien POV...It is good to be back after a lovely time away with Mekayla. The joy in her eyes brings nothing but warmth to my heart. It is very obvious, even though the Winterss have the wealth they have, that Mekayla went through a tough time, well, especially when she came back home. But she not only took the verbal abuse from most of her family, but she also refused to live on their money either. She, in fact, still does not want any part of it at all. That is what admires me the most about her. And these few days on our honeymoon just made me love her even more.Mekayla is close to the end of her second trimester, and I am going, to be honest, the girl is about to fall over. I have refrained from making any fat belly jokes, for I have stopped counting the number of shoes that have come my way. Just the other day, I had to dodge a glass that nearly came my way.The further she comes closer to the end, the more nervous she seems to get. Well, when I told her tha
...Xavien POV...It is in great anticipation that we are waiting for this doctor that seems to find the looks on our faces rather funny. Well, if he does not say a word in the next five minutes, he is going to have a rather funny reaction on his face as I slap him.Mekayla is near to pass out from frustration, and of course, my poor hand is the one that takes the punishment as she squeezes it so damn hard that I cannot even feel the blood flowing to my hand anymore.So without losing temper, I look at the doctor near to strangle him, and then he still dares to ask, "What would you like them to ber?""Well," I snap at him, highly annoyed, "Preferably to human babies that should be the sex of either a girl or a boy." I wait for him to snap back, yet he refrains from making any further jokes anymore."Mr. Caruso, Mrs. Caruso, it seems that you shall be having a girl and a boy."I hear as Mekayla sighs in relief and sounds like a girl that opened her Christ
...Xavien POV...Today is the big move back to the city again. Now Mekayla has insisted that we buy a more baby-friendly house as my old penthouse is, as she says, just cold. So we have bought a rather big family home on a secure estate. All the damn thing needs are the white picket fence. Beckham, unfortunately, has far less of a playground, which I am sure the boy shall get used to. As for me, well, I am truly not happy about this all.I guess that is what love is all about, making sacrifices even though it hurts you.Brendan keeps coming with his clever advice to talk to Mekayla about it. My answer, you do not upset a pregnant woman. I want to give her absolutely everything that she needs. But what Brendan does remind me of is that back in the city, I am in the limelight. The focus is going to be on me, and now especially with the babies coming, they are constantly going to snap photos when they see her in the street.Now let us not even forget the headlines a
...Xavien POV...I can see the fear and disappointment creep into Mekayla's eyes. I can understand the way that she feels, for she feels betrayed, yet I somehow thought that this would someday happen. Evil hides in places where you least expect it. And this evil has been hiding in the corner, waiting for the perfect time to out. But sometimes this evil also doesn't seem to learn its lesson, for it has once tried and come out now.Now, if this man can only untie my hands, then I will do much more than cut his damn fingers off. God, how did he even tie it with half a hand, or perhaps it is his partner there that I somehow don't think was in the girl scouts. All I can say is that the two of them not only make for an odd pair but a somewhat stupid one as well.While Mekayla is sitting and still trying to get a word together to ask dear old Sofi, or was it Sofa, whichever the stupid cow is called, I am not afraid of any one of them. Now I do have a question though, after s
...Xavien POV...These two are really as dumb as they look. Steve would be worried by now that I have not shown up for my meeting, and I am sure that Tina has gone crazy that she has not heard from Mekayla yet. How these two think that they are going to pull his kidnapping off is beyond me. Sophia was truly never any good if it was not for Catalina. And this man, well, who would be stupid enough to catch the man that has already taken some parts of him off.But this man is standing with some stupid dumb ass smirk on his face. It is either an 'Oh fuck we messed up' look, or he has done at least one thing right. Dare I even ask him before I kick that damn thing off his face. That is yet another point, how do you tie someone to a chair with only their hands. What stops me from walking out of here with a chair attached to my ass to get help. Ya, as I say, the world's dumbest kidnappers.So after developing an awkward cackle that he calls laughter, he looks from Mekayla th
...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
