Xavion."I'm glad you're back. It was a surprise you got stranded on that Island for several days," he said with a smirk, "Knowing you as my son, even after two days of being stranded alone, you can't be at ease until one of your cousins arrives to rescue you." Dad looks at me suspiciously.I gritted my teeth and looked at his eyes thoughtfully. "I was having fun, Dad. The typhoon arrived, and it hit the Island. I ended up cleaning the post and the surroundings. I instructed the boys on the materials that I needed. That's why the rescue took a while," I answered, looking at him without a trace of fear."I see," he nodded. He took a step closer to me this time."What about your mission? I've heard you showed up in Dalton with Bryce. What's that all about? You didn't tell me you joined the lowly kind mafia's world bidding party?" His jaw clenches, and his eyes aim at me like a bullet. I gritted my teeth but never shifted my gaze."Brandon was there, Dad. I followed him, and Bryce arran
Quinn . Good morning, Xav. I hope you are having a great day ahead. Take care always. I smile while looking at the message in my sent items. The sun greeted me warmly, and I felt liberated for the second time. Thanks to Xavion for making it happen. Whenever I am with him, all the impossible things become possible. I have devoted my life to him. Regardless of his feelings towards me, I will pursue him relentlessly. I ended up walking down the beach, and the tide was low. There’s little water, and the seaweeds are visible along the shore. There are plenty of sea urchins along the side and little corals. The Island is gifted with nature’s bliss, and I love it. “Quinn!” I saw Reeve waving at me with little Madison beside him, so I walked towards them. “Good morning, Miss Quinn. How’s your morning?” Madison greeted me. I bend a little bit to meet his gaze. “I’m good, Madison, and how are you?” I responded, touching his soft straight black hair. “I’m doing well, thank you. Uncle R
Xavion . "What the hell is this all about?" My mouth parted when I saw the boys in circles. The look in their eyes the moment they saw me stepping inside scared the shit living daylight of my fucking life. "Xavion Xavier Mondragon, man! It's finally over." Atticus strode closer towards me, and his arm instantly looped around my neck. "Damn, you're taller than me. Stop growing all right." He messed up with my hair in circles, and the boys laughed. "Fucking hell. I want to know what's this all about?" "Reeve!?" I uttered bitterly and looked in his direction. He is now hiding behind Bryce. "Dammit!" I ducked in as Norman and Conrad came flying towards me. "Shit. Hell." I swore as I protect myself from their kung-fu, not-so-funny moves. They all want to mess up my hair and my effing clothes. "So, tell me, what do you want, Xav? What do you want from all of us?" Drew chuckled, and everyone paused. Conrad and Norman let go of me. "Lucky bastard," Norman winked and shook his head.
Quinn . I can't believe this, but this is happening, alright. The kiss earlier was beautiful. I felt like floating on cloud nine. It's the same feeling I have with him back then, but more intense this time. We sat together side by side and were quiet. Everything around here was still dark, but the floating lights on the sea in front of us shimmered beautifully. They are dancing like how my heart is pounding hard right now. "D-Did you have fun with all of your cousins?" I faltered as I looked at him. "Yes. I did. They probably didn't notice that I was gone. I only excused myself to go to the toilet but ended up beside you." He smiled a little bit but wasn't looking at me. My heart flutters, and I smile. I press my lips together to hide my nerves. He inhales deeply before speaking again. "I drank a lot." He chuckled slightly, "So stupid of me." He shook his head. "About the kiss. . ." He paused and is now looking at me in the eyes. I'm excited to know his thoughts about our kiss
Xavion . What the hell, Quinn? What am I supposed to do? Dammit. I started this, but now I could no longer stop this mess from myself. I should be punished. I can't remember how many hours of sleep I had. I wake up with a headache and a little bit of hangover. The boys were already in the dining area, but not all of them, as some were back to their kids and wives. "I didn't see you last night at the bonfire. Where have you been? Don't tell me you went to bed that early?" Bryce's brows furrowed while sipping his coffee. He looked suspicious towards me. I looked away, sat down comfortably and drank my warm coffee. "Thank you, Melinda," I said to her. She's one of the kitchen maids who prepared our coffee and breakfast. She smiled. Melinda is in her fifties and still does a magnificent job with everything in the kitchen. "I saw Quinn running last night. Was she after you?" Conrad spoke. "I think it was around 3:30 am. Candy was going to call, but I stopped her because I assumed Q
Quinn . “Thank you for today, Stella. I had so much fun.” “I’m glad you liked it. Let’s go back there again next week. I will show you more. Let’s get our nails done and eat delicious street foods.” “Really? Oh, I’m excited! I can’t wait for next week.” “Me too.” She looked at someone behind me, causing my body to spin around to see who it was. . . it was Xavion. “Okay. I’ll see you later, Quinn. I love your new hair. Suits you better.” She winked and waved at me. “Thank you again, Stella!” Stella waved at Xavion. I focused on Xavion now and smiled as he walked towards me. I examined the sweet local delicacies in the plastic bag I was holding. I love all these goodies. It reminds me of Xavion. He got a sweet tooth and loves to have sweets now and then. I still remember those sleepless nights when he taught me my assignments. However, most of it was our touching and kissing. The feeling of being with him, underneath him, makes me want to melt this instant. I didn’t have any
Xavion . "Thank you, Bryce. I really appreciate this." "Not a problem, Xav," he sighed and sat beside me, "It's all on your shoulder now. I must return to Mexico and stay there for a while before returning to Italy. I don't know when I will see you again, but I'll keep in touch. I'll keep an eye on the other side too." "No worries, Bryce. Hendrix will arrive tomorrow afternoon. I will pick him up." He nods. "I heard that too. It must be hard on his side. I can't imagine his life after all, but this is what it is. You just have to deal with it just like you did," he smiled, "Suppose there's anything you want on the other side? Let me know. You can count on me." He winked. "I know that. Thank you, bud." "Not a problem. All for you, Xavion." I had a few discussions with Bryce before sending him off. Hendrix will take over his place for now, and it will do me good in everything. The boys had fun together with their wives and kids. Although our vacation was short, we cherish the m
Quinn . "He's not allowed to have a relationship, especially with someone of lower mafia rank like me? And there's nothing between us? Huh, is he kidding me!?" I got up from lying in bed. "I don't care about where I came from. I don't believe that it's my fault, Xavion! Do you think I like my life? Do you think I love the type of living I had with my devil father and hungry bastard brothers? Not to mention a maniac psychopath ex? Shit!" I messed up my hair and couldn't sleep because I was so annoyed. The final word he uttered lingered in my mind like a malfunctioning recorder. Heck. "And then, why did you kiss me? What the heck was that for!? Why did you give me that type of hope, Xavion, if you will hurt me like this? Why!?" I stomped on the floor like a child. I know myself when it comes to this. I never had so much in life that I wanted so badly, and it just happened that I wanted him. Back then, I already liked him. And now, I am willing to give him my heart even if he does
