The Enigmatic Masked Stripper: Fighting To Love You Chapter 18: Dharma Sahib Mafia Empire
Julian's POV I poured myself another glass of whiskey, gulping it down. I poured another one again, gulping it down without pausing. “Argh!” I threw the glass cup on the wall. They broke into pieces and fell to the floor. I was at my bar, in my house, drinking heavily. I dropped the whiskey bottle and roughened my hair frustratedly. I groaned, kicking the air. The more I thought of Dagnus demands, the more I saw how absurd it was. Flashback. “I wanna quit,” I declared, meeting Dagnus' gaze. His eyes danced in amusement as he walked closer to me. “Are you kidding or serious?” He asked casually. “I'm damn serious about this, Dagnus,” “Why?” He asked, but I didn't respond to him. “Is it because of that girl?” His question made me fist my hands beside me. “She has nothing to do with this. This is my decision, I don't want her getting entangled with my hidden life-style. That's why I wanna end it now,” He scoffed, bringing out a cigarette from his pocket and lighting i
The Enigmatic Masked Stripper: Fighting To Love You Chapter 19: 'I Like You'
Alexandra's POV I stared at my phone, biting my fingernails nervously. After anticipating all day for him to call me, he finally did but I was too scared to pick it up. ‘What should I do?’ I thought with a scrunched face. If I should pick it now, it would be more awkward. “Gosh, why did I pick up on the first ring?” I groaned, staring at my ringing phone. It was past 10 PM, why was he calling me now? ‘Maybe he just finished speaking with his mum,’ I thought inwardly. Clearing my throat, I was about to pick up the call when it got disconnected. “Fvck! Ugh!” I picked up a pillow, muffling my groans. “Why?!” I shouted, gripping my hair before my phone beeped. It was a message, I hastily clicked on it and my eyes widened. “I’m in front of your house. Please come out,” I read out the message. A knowing smile formed on my lips before it disappeared when I had a second thought. “If I should go out, that way, he will know that I intentionally ignored his calls. What should
The Enigmatic Masked Stripper: Fighting To Love You Chapter 20: Fake Boyfriend
Alexandra's POV The Next Day. Morning. I cleaned my hands with the napkin, looking pleased as I was able to make breakfast. Thankfully, my mum wasn't around. She was to spend the night at the orphanage home, her workplace, and would be back this morning. Maybe late. I went back to my room to wake Julian up, it was past 6 AM already and we needed to prepare for work. I pushed the door but was surprised to see his back, standing tall in front of me. He buckling his wrist watch, before bending to put on his shoes. “G-Good m-morning,” I stuttered, my face went red when he turned to me. He pressed his lips together, acknowledging my greetings with a curt nod. ‘Is he trying to act ignorant now?’ I thought, standing at the door. He picked up his car keys before walking towards the door. I avoided his gaze and left the door, wanting to see if he was really gonna leave like that. He gripped the doorknob, about to twist it before he cast me a glance and I looked away. He sighed
The Enigmatic Masked Stripper: Fighting To Love You Chapter 21: Fake Boyfriend (2)
Alexandra's POV “Fake boyfriend?” Julian repeated. He looked at me in disbelief and I shrugged my shoulders. “Yeah, fake boyfriend,” I said, nodding nervously. He scoffed, rubbing his face. “Morning, young man,” my mum said, gazing at Julian and he bowed slightly. “What's your name?” “Julian. Julian Scott ma'am,” he responded respectfully. Her eyes narrowed, feigning she doesn't know that he was Julian, the CEO of Hicko tech corporation. “Oh, that's nice. I'm pleased to see you, also, I have a complaint,” my mum stated, making me avert my gaze from Julian. “What are your plans for my daughter?” “Mum!” I called in a raised voice. She glared at me before stretching her bag to me. “Take this inside,” she instructed. I collected the bag from her grumpily and took it to her room. She doesn't want me to be aware of her conversation with him. Getting back to the living room, I saw that Julian was on his way out. My mum was smiling brightly as she turned to me to escort h
The Enigmatic Masked Stripper: Fighting To Love You Chapter 22: Resignation (1)
Alexandra's POV I was getting ready for work but I couldn't stop giggling, my toes curled multiple times and the blush on my cheeks refused to leave. Putting on my heels, I briskly picked up my bag and some files before I left my room. My mum was seated on the couch when I arrived at the living room. “I look great, right?” She nodded, looking at me with a pleased smile before her expression changed. “By the way, your lips looks swollen when you came back inside earlier, did something happened between the both of you?” “Mum!” I yelled loudly, she flinched before throwing the couch pillow at me. “Do you wanna give me a heart attack? It was just a question, you're looking all red already. If you're not guilty, you won't have reacted that way,” she scolded and I pouted, patting my cheeks. The kiss kept replaying in my head and I couldn't get over the excitement and delight my heart felt at that moment. The butterflies, his hands on my waist, his breath, moans…. “Alexandra!
The Enigmatic Masked Stripper: Fighting To Love You Chapter 23: Resignation (2)
Alexandra's POV I wriggled from his hold, wiping my tears. He was gazing at me worriedly and I was trying to avoid eye-contact. “What do you say?” “No,” my response was instant. “You're rejecting me?” he scoffed in a disbelieving tone. I didn't respond and was about to leave his office but he stopped me again. “The kiss meant nothing to you, huh? I'm starting to get frustrated with the way you're acting. What is it that you can't tell me?!” “Your mum!” I screamed at his face. His expression froze when he heard me. “She sent me a threat letter this morning when I was coming to the office. It would have been better if you didn't get me promoted. It was clear that you got me promoted because I decided to keep your secret. I didn't work for it,” my hands slumped to my side. “I would suggest we nullify the agreement between us. No more fake whatever, it doesn't even count as anything. I kept getting ridiculed because they thought I was dating you,” I said, recalling Sarah's
The Enigmatic Masked Stripper: Fighting To Love You Chapter 24: Drugs Transportation
Sophia's POV I walked into the Villa with a pleased smile, bowing at Dagnus when I got close enough. “Has the assignment been done?” He asked, reading the magazine on his lap with his legs crossed. I grinned, nodding with my hands behind my back. “Yes, boss,” I responded, nearly smacking my head for nodding instead of responding. He gestured his hands for me to leave and I did, walking inside the house. Discarding the idea to asking Alexandra about her relationship with Julian. I decided to investigate it myself, and the results came out successfully. I was outside Alexandra's house on the day Julian spent the night at her place. Their conversation was what revealed their little secrets. Dagnus also was vexed and furious for the fact that Julian wanted to quit being a member. He loves him like a son for his boldness and how he had skillfully handled any tasks that he was given. He couldn't bear to lose someone as important as Julian, which was why he sent me to kidnap Alexa
The Enigmatic Masked Stripper: Fighting To Love You Chapter 25: A-Acosta
Alexandra's POV “Dual-life Squad,” I read out with my trembling lips. I found two passports on the table and that added to my anxiety. ‘This isn't a warning but a command to end the so-called relationship you have with Julian Scott. And the time given to you is less than twenty-four hours, the two passports are for you and your mum to disappear completely away from his world. Your mother has been held captive to show our seriousness, if you dare tell Julian about this. You aren't a fool not to know the consequences. We are watching you closely, when you're ready to leave. Leave a beep on the number below. It would be very wise of you to keep this to yourself, the count down starts now!’ I gasped when I saw the danger sign, drawn with a red marker pen. My heart did a flip and I glanced around the house. The paper fell off my grip and my knees got weak, making me slumped to the floor. Aching with despair, my heart felt heavy with hopelessness, a bleak and suffocating pain. “Mum!”

Alexandra's POVWith a radiating smile as ever, I walked down the aisle with Julian's Dad beside me. My eyes were fixed on Julian all these while, and the guests’ eyes were on me.He looks so handsome in his white tailored-suit. His hair was slightly cut with a smooth side part, standing with his hands locked together in his front.“Careful dear,” I heard his Dad saying to me, I flashed him a smile, nodding as we continued to approach the altar.Majority of the guests were unfamiliar to me, but related to Julian's family. My only family was my mum, my eyes searched for her through the crowd and I found her.She was by my left, having teary eyes.

Alexandra's POV“No. I just want a simple flowy gown. You can come up with the design but I don't want it to be too flashy as this one,” I instructed the wedding designer, declining her suggestion to the gown she wants to make for me.“Okay, ma'am. Got it,’ she flashed me a smile, packing her belongings before leaving the house. I stood up and stretched my body, heading to where Julian was.He was with the event planner and I can't help but feel giddy with the way everything was going.“Hey, baby,” I greeted as I walked closer to him. He pecked my cheeks, pointing at the settings of the hall he was going for.“Do you like them?” He asked with a beautiful smile.The settings were simple, and elegant.Nodding, “I love it. We will go for this, sir,” I said to the man.“All right then. I will be on my way,” “Drive safely,” “Thanks, ma'am,” we both bowed curtly at each other before he walked out.

Alexandra's POV“Baby, wake up,” a voice said softly. I hummed in response with my eyes closed, snuggling closer to the owner of the voice.“Wake up, sleeping beauty,” Julian used my hair to make feathery touches on my face. I rubbed my face roughly before fluttering my eyes opened.He was smiling at me sweetly before he kissed my forehead. Wishing me a good morning and I yawned soundly.I was stunned when he covered his nose, shifting away from me.“Really?” I scoffed, displaying a playful angry expression.“Your morning breath,”“I know right. But you shouldn't have made your displeasure known in that manner,” I said with a slight frown kiddingly.“It smells divine. But I just wanted to be sure that's why I covered my nose,” he made a lame excuse and that got me snickering. I stretched my body and the duvet fell off.I was totally naked! His eyes lingered on my chest before he made a funny face.“Meow,” I slapped his shoulder when he made that teasing sound. We both chuckled as I co

Alexandra's POV“Hmm,” I moaned as Julian's and I's tongue got entangled. His hands roamed my bare thighs and I shivered because of his cold palms.We were both aroused at this point and I was just in my underwear already. His eyes ogled my body with lust flashing through his eyes, I pulled him closer and kissed him more.The kiss was intense and sloppy, he gave my butt a gentle squeeze. And I moaned louder.“I think we need to stop,” he said huskily, kissing me back. I tried to collide our bodies together, my arms around his neck.I hummed in response without letting go of him. He tried to push me slightly but I didn't bulge. We were both horny and I see no reason why we have to stop now. The room was dark, dimly lit with blue light.“Baby listen,” he succeeded in stopping me, holding my hands. I pouted and he chuckled, pecking my lips.“I want you. More than you want me but we need to stop,” he cautioned. I wriggled my hands from hands hold, held his jaw and kissed him hungrily.He

Alexandra's POV“Are you sure?”“Yes, get on with it already! I see nothing,” I said in a slightly raised voice at my mum. I was all dressed up in a fancy silver dress, my hair was swept to the side with a jewel comb.And the diamond necklace on my neck sparkles under the bright chandelier light in the room, together with my earrings.My make-up was minimal which I was grateful for but I still see no reason for this. Julian called, and I was asked to dress up to attend a party.Now that we have arrived, my eyes were covered with a blindfold with my mum leading me inside the hall. My three-inch heels soft click sound on the floor was heard as we entered the grand hall.For some reason, I was jealous of the owner of the occasion. Perhaps Julian doesn't want me to know my way in or something. Whichever reason it might be, I still couldn't find one to support his decision.“Aren't we there yet?”“Soon, baby. Be patient,” my mum responded and I responded with a sigh.“Is Jasmine with Julix

Alexandra's POV“DLS corporation proposed a deal. And I smell something tricky in there,” Marcus pointed out as Julian glanced through the contents.His expression deepened before he passed the folder back to Marcus.“Baby, what's happening?” I asked him with concern written all over my face. He shook his head and kissed my forehead.“It's nothing to be worried about. I got this,” he kissed my forehead again before rubbing Julixa's head and turned to Marcus.“My car or yours?”“Are you leaving?” I asked in a slightly raised voice.“Mine,” Marcus responded.“I'll be back soon,” Julian said to me before walking out, leaving me to guess what could be happening.I dropped Julixa on the floor and bit my fingernails nervously.“Is Julian out? I heard a car driving out,” I turned around when I heard a voice. It was Jasmine, she was coming down from the stairs.I nodded before sitting on the couch. She came to me and crouched.“What happened? Did Julian fight with you?” She asked me in a more

Alexandra's POV “No, they don't,” Julian responded with a sullen expression, referring to his parents and my eyes widened in surprise. Even though I expected this response from him. I don't know why I'm still surprised. “It makes sense to me now. I tend to wonder why you chose to be a member of a so-called organization when you have influential parents that can get you to the top,” I said out my mind. “I was young and stubborn, determined and brave. I wanted to do this on my own, and I don't regret it at all….” He paused, turning to face me. My back rested on the bed bunk while he was seated on the edge of the bed. “Not until recently and the stripper thing came up,” he continued, explaining to me how he got to be a member without his parents knowing. I asked him. I heaved a deep sigh and stood up, going to sit beside him. His expression was seldom and I rubbed his cheeks with my palms. “Is there a way for you to back out?” “Yeah,” he responded and I raised a brow. “Really? W

Alexandra's POVA Few Days Later.“Wait,” I stopped Julian, who turned to me with a questioning gaze.“I-I’m nervous. It's not-” “Babe,” he cut me off, holding my shoulder.“She should be the one nervous, not the other way around. One way or the other, this has to be solved. Plus, I will be there with you so you don't have to worry. Okay?” He flashed me a reassuring smile and I nodded with anxiety written all over my face.We were currently in front of his parents’ room. After breakfast this morning, I decided for us to settle whatever that was between us. And Julian was here to accompany me.Taking a sharp breath, I knocked on the door and we were permitted to go in. My heart was hammering in my chest as we entered.His mum was playing chess game alone, I glanced around the room for his dad but he wasn't found.“Wow, sweetie. You came to visit me in my room,” she jolted up from the couch, walking closer to hug me.I hugged her back, my gaze on Julian who smiled.“I just wanted to se
The Enigmatic Masked Stripper: Fighting To Love You Chapter 46: The Assignment He Started
Julian's POV“Come in,” I permitted the person knocking on my office door to enter without gazing up to see the person. I have a lot of work to do, proposals that need my signature and many more.Since Alex's arrival, I hadn't had enough time to come to the company and get busy with work. I wasn't in the right state of mind to add work to my problems.Hearing no voice, I raised my head and found Marcus at the door. The pen I was holding fell from my grip and I leaned into my chair.A small smile formed on my lips before I stood up abruptly.“What's good, man?” We gripped each other into a manly embrace. How can I forget his kind gesture, watching over my company when I was away.“I’m good, I'm good. I expected you to have lost some weight,” he joked and I chuckled slightly, disengaging from the hug.I went back to sit on my swivel chair and he settled across from me.“How is she doing now?” He asked me and I sighed heavily. I recalled our little moment yesterday morning before she sen
