Quinn . A slap on the face! Yeah, I deserve it. Marie gently massaged my hair. Instead of going home, I walked like a zombie all the way to Marie's apartment. It's closer to where The Monde Suites building's location. A walking distance only. I felt defeated, hurt, and neglected. And what do I expect? I deserve this. I'm crazy. I know that. Xavion is still attractive to me. He is still my world. I never stopped loving him, and that's the truth. All these years, I never dated anyone. I was waiting for him. I had suitors, but I did not entertain them. It was only him I wanted. "And what's your ex look like?" Marie massaged my scalp. I shut my eyes. "FLG," I sighed. "Hm?" As I open my eyes, I notice that Marie has stopped moving her hand, and one of her eyebrows is raised. "Finger lickin' good," I said, twisting my lips. She laughed. "You are crazy, Quinn." She shook her head. "Did you tell him everything?" I shook my head. "There's no point in telling. He won't listen. I kn
Quinn . An old gentleman named Dan fetched me at precisely seven in the evening. I was looking forward to today, but Xavion suddenly canceled my appointment. Mr Jason Gray, my boss, called me earlier for a follow-up. He can't wait for the merging, as I told him I will send Xavion's legal documents today. But to my disappointment, Xavion canceled our meeting and moved it to this time. The car stopped, and I brought my windows down to check the building. It's a five-star hotel suite owned by the Mondragons. It's flashy as it looks, and it gives a diamond feel. My lips parted as it brought back the memory of Xavion and me, and I overlooked that Mr. Dan had already opened the car door for me. "Thank you, Sir," I said the moment I got out of the car. "Miss Quinn, just call me by my name. I'm not a sir," he slightly laughs. "Enjoy your night, Miss Quinn." "Thank you, Mr. Dan," I smiled and headed off. I entered the elegant hotel, and my hands were sweaty and cold. My flesh is shaki
Quinn . When I arrived at my unit, my tears constantly flowed. It was never-ending. And now that the sun shines, I have no energy left, and here I am, still hugging my pillow, thinking of him. My eyes are red and swollen. I can't go to work like this. So, I sent my boss a message and asked one of my assistants to get the legal document I had with me. "It's all good, Quinn. Have your rest. You did great. Just bring it with you next time when you feel a lot better. At the moment, I'm scanning the documents you sent me. This will do at the moment. Thank you, Quinn." Mr. Jason expressed his gratitude in the line. "It's my job, Sir. Thank you for understanding." "Your voice seems so down. Is there something wrong? Have you had your breakfast?" "I don't feel like eating, Sir. I will be fine." "Okay. Food will be delivered today for you. Don't worry," he said in his bubbly voice and laughed. He ended the call after that. I sighed as I headed towards the toilet. I'm thankful that Mr.
Quinn . I’m nervous like a mouse afraid of the cat. I don’t know how I’ll react, seeing Xavion again. My leave was over. I returned to work three days ago, and Mr. Jason Gray had a blast. Four days ago, the party was in his place. I didn’t attend. I don’t feel like partying. He was celebrating the merging of his company with one of the Mondragon’s companies. He was over the moon and very thankful to me, and now that the merging is on and the work has begun, I will temporarily assist Xavion with Mr. Jason Gray’s company side. Why me again? Why not Jarrod, his son? How could he do this? I already told him on the phone that I couldn’t work under Xavion anymore. But then why again? - “Mr. Xavion exclusively asked for you, Miss Quinn, and for me to say no to the man who fulfilled my dream is rude. Please, Miss Quinn, do me a favor this time. You are the best person in this field, and I don’t want any mistakes. My son, Jarrod, is prone to that. I cannot trust him.” - I was back at T
Xavion . “So, you’re keeping Quinn on your den?” Glenn’s brows furrowed abruptly with a hideous smile. I shook my head, avoiding eye contact. “I know what’s running on your mind now, bro. I saw how flared your eyes when you looked at Jarrod earlier. It seems like you want to kill him beside Quinn. That was funny, bro.” He chuckled and slightly shook his head. “Why do you need Quinn to work under you? It will be uncomfortable for both of you.” I put all the remaining papers in my drawer and prepared to leave for dinner. “I don’t know, Glenn. I just want her as a possession. That’s all.” I said and shut the drawer. “A possession? Are you treating her as a possession now? Do you have an idea of what you are saying now?” He nearly laughed. “As far as I know, Quinn left you. Not just once, but twice. It’s not my business to interfere in your personal life, but you are my cousin. And I have to remind you again that your father will not be happy with this. When are you going to tell
Xavion . As soon as Trinity stepped through the main gate of my mansion, my phone beeped. I pulled it out of my pocket and gestured to the two bodyguards who were approaching us. Both of them bowed their head halfway when they saw that it was me. Trinity looked at me while I was reading the messages from the group chat. Drew: @Xavion, look at who we got here. Drew attached a photo. It’s the back view of Quinn and Jarrod, sitting and drinking in the VIP bar of Monde Rock Bar. Norman: Is that Quinn? Who is that person beside her? Is that the new boyfriend? Bryce: Damn, she looks hot as ever. Why the hell is that idiot Jarrod with her? Where’s the Reaper@Xavion? You finally give up on her. Good on you! I saw you and Trinity just now. It’s the first time, bro. Congratulations. You ultimately choose what’s best for you. Bryce sent a laughing emoticon who rolled over like shit. The other boys followed, sending a fire laugh and a crying emoticons face. Effing, shits. Bryce can see m
Xavion . "I'm sorry," she said, almost like a whisper. I felt my jaw tighten as I carefully placed her on top of my bed. She let go of me, and she sounded asleep already. I slowly stood up and stared at her for a second, releasing a sigh. I move to the end of the bed and take off her stilettos. I slightly shook my head after removing them. Seeing the anklet with a dangling pendant, I gave her more than three years ago proves she still loves me. I sighed, stood up, gritted my teeth, and surveyed her clothes. I guess I have no other choice but to change her. The top she's wearing with her fit body blazer looks uncomfortable. I shook my head and sat on the edge of the bed. "I don't know what to do with you, Quinn. You are stubborn as hell. Do you think you can handle everything on your own? You are wrong, darling," I weakly uttered. I was about to unbutton her blazer, but her hands moved, now touching my fingers. "Xavion…" She opened her eyes, and my heart fluttered. There was a
Quinn . "The past is the past. It happened already. We made mistakes. Nobody is perfect. Now, we learned from it...we are what we are now, and we must face reality. Now is the right time to choose your heart, Quinn. Never be afraid anymore, my child. All well be okay..." I smiled, remembering Grandmother's message to me. My eyes are still shut, feeling the warmth and comfort of my bed. It felt like I was sleeping on the clouds, and I felt light and complete. Xavion? My eyes automatically opened the moment I remembered him. "What the. . ." Like a robot, I got up and quickly sat on the edge of the bed. I'm wearing an oversized white man's long sleeve. It went above my knees, and I ran straight to the toilet when I remembered what had happened. Relax, self. I need to use a toothbrush first. Since this is not my place, I put some toothpaste on my pointy finger and brushed it on my teeth. I gurgle up with mouthwash after washing my face. I was a complete mess last night. I vomit
Diezel's POV . "You have to understand your son. You can't just push him to marry someone against his heart. He is a Mondragon. And being a Mondragon man only means one thing. . . We are born stubborn to the content of our hearts. We stick to what our hearts dictate no matter how fucking twisted the path we choose. We dedicate ourselves to one woman. We fight for love and go crazy with it." I gritted my teeth as I listened to Xavion's parents, who were sitting beside me. I have never experienced love before, so I do not know what it feels like. I grew up in a tough but humorous environment surrounded by good and bad individuals. I am currently accompanied by my cousins, who are pretty eccentric. The black Mondragons are my favorites, and I belong to them. I am one of them. But the hell, I am here facing the same sky, standing beside Xavion's father. "When is the wedding?" Xavion's mother looked at me. "Tomorrow, Zia." I swallowed hard, avoiding her gaze. Zia Maricor reminds me
Quinn . -matured content- Xavion reclaimed my lips, kissing me hungrily. I opened my mouth and welcomed every thrust of his tongue as it explored every corner of my mouth. His hand pushed the hem of my skirt, caressing my thighs. I gasped in anticipation, and my body melted. Every touch of his hand in between my thigh sends thousands of heat inside me. His lips traveled down my neck. I giggled when I felt his lips around there. I continue massaging his nape. He swept me in his arms and gently eased my body on the bed. Our eyes locked briefly, and his weight pushed my body on the mattress. "I love the look of your eyes, Quinn. It speaks of wanting me, darling." He said, licking his lips and his hand gently caressing my side, aiming to unhook my bra. My body arched, and the moment he unhooked my bra and took off my top, his lips came crashing on mine again. "Oh, dammit." He groaned, and I moaned when I felt the gentle massage of his hand on my breast. I was already on fire. Ever
Quinn.Half sleeping, I reached out for Xavion. I can still remember what happened last night. I had a slight fever, and his embrace healed me. His manly scent completed the whole of me I'd longed for years. With my eyes shut, I smiled and moved my right hand, reaching his side. I love the feeling of touching his warm chest. Instead, I felt the cottony, fluffy texture of a pillow.I was wide awake in an instant. He is no longer beside me.I took my dressing gown that was hanging on the dressing chair, put it on, and ran towards the kitchen. I was relieved to see Xavion preparing something. I thought he left me."Hey, good morning, Quinn! You've got the best chef here on the Island. Let's eat!" Diezel greeted me with a full mouth of food.Xavion turned to see me carrying freshly brewed coffee. And his dashing smile gives a warm feeling inside me."Oh, you're awake." Xavion smiled, looking so hot on his white top. He put down his cup of coffee and strode sexily towards me."I thought y
Xavion . "It's too dangerous, Xavion. I won't let you fly on your own. Use my yacht. It's better than flying a helicopter. It's better to be safe than sorry, bro. The rain hasn't stopped. There was no storm, but a low-pressure area is building up North." Norman sighed and shook his head. I gritted my teeth, facing the dark sky. Quinn is waiting for me. I need to go to her now. "The yacht may take you six hours, and it's fine. It doesn't matter if you arrive late on the Reserve Island, Xavion. It's better to land safely. Using the helicopter will give you zero visibility." Norman continued. "I guess I have no choice," I silently uttered. "It's alright." Norman patted my shoulder and chuckled. "You want this, and I understand that. She may not be happy with this, but you have to listen to her. Yes, she's still your Quinn, the same person as before, but she has a lot of priorities now. Diezel abducted her this morning without permission and - " "I have settled everything, Norman.
Quinn . And like a child, as soon as the yacht docked, I ran free towards the house where I used to be. "Xavion! Xavion!" I shouted for his name. I was not listening to Diezel anymore. "Hey, Quinn! Fai attenzione ai serpenti, Amore mio!" I stopped and looked around the sand. I almost forgot that this Island has a lot of snakes around, not to mention the prickly weed I hate the most! I turned around to see Diezel, and he started carrying the goods on his shoulder. I twisted my lips and continued walking a little faster this time. I nervously looked at each corner because of the snakes. "Snakes are good at hiding. Don't worry. I believe the boys cleaned the place." Diezel said, and he was now walking towards me, carrying two sacks of goods on his shoulders, which seemed heavy. I stopped again, letting him pass through me first, and I curiously followed him. I realized Xavion was not around because the place was too quiet. Diezel went inside the house, organizing all the stuff.
Quinn . "Who are you? What do you want from me? Let me go!" I kicked my feet, hoping to unhook the tie. But it was too tight. I couldn't even maneuver my body. I don't know what happened after I passed out. I was about to see Jarrod to talk about the other business proposal. But here I am, now sitting in this coffin-shaped box. "Hey! Are you listening? Where are you going to take me? Let me go! I'm busting. I need to go to the toilet!" I said nervously. It's a lie. I will find a way to escape, but then again, I don't know how. The yacht is moving fast, and this idiot will probably take me somewhere isolated. "Hello!? Hey!" I yelled out. Judging by his body build, he is a pro. Broad shoulders, stern frame, perfect body built where I could not see any fats. It's all muscles in there with more than six packs. Neat look with a pleasant smell. I should be scared. But I'm not. I'm thinking of a way to escape once this yacht will dock. Xavion? I shut my eyes, thinking about him. I
Xavion . “I’m sorry, Xavion, but I can’t. I don’t think this is right. What about Trinity? She invested herself so much in you for three years. You can’t just wipe her in a snap. It’s not right… a-and what about your parents? Your mother hates me. And your father still doesn’t approve of me.” My heart dropped to the ground the moment I heard it from her. It kept playing on my head like a dislocated player disc. Fucking dammit! I could feel the screams of frustration at the back of my throat as the pain kept squeezing my chest. “Hey, bro, are you listening to me?” Glenn furrowed his brows and looked at me intently with a serious expression. “Something is wrong with you. Come on, tell me.” He stood firmly before me, crossed his arms, and demanded to know what was wrong. I stood up, sighed, and turned my back on Glenn, trying to figure out everything about Quinn. I have to do something, or I’ll go insane with this again. This can’t be effing happening. "Xavion Xavier Mondragon?
Quinn . "The past is the past. It happened already. We made mistakes. Nobody is perfect. Now, we learned from it...we are what we are now, and we must face reality. Now is the right time to choose your heart, Quinn. Never be afraid anymore, my child. All well be okay..." I smiled, remembering Grandmother's message to me. My eyes are still shut, feeling the warmth and comfort of my bed. It felt like I was sleeping on the clouds, and I felt light and complete. Xavion? My eyes automatically opened the moment I remembered him. "What the. . ." Like a robot, I got up and quickly sat on the edge of the bed. I'm wearing an oversized white man's long sleeve.
