[ Xavier ] “What the hell are you doing at my shoot?” Melissa, whom I confronted on the sets of her movie unexpectedly, barked at me but I could see the hidden fear behind her masked expressions.I crossed my arms across my chest and sat down on the sofa in her vanity van. She huffed in annoyance.“What do you want, Xavier Linwood, why are you here, at my work place? Is it your new strategy to bully me?” She asked me with raised brow.“I don’t need to bully you, Melissa because your coward act proved your weakness when you attacked my wife.” I said and saw her facial colours changing.“What are you saying? This is ridiculous. You are blaming me of something I didn’t do.” She fiercely tried to defend her deed.I rose from my chair and took predatory steps towards her, she retreated back as the result.“Stop lying and save our time, Melissa. I know a spoiled girl like you can make such stupid mistake and leave the proofs behind. You were caught in a CCTV camera where we found Adeline p
[ Adeline ]“How are you feeling, Love?” My husband asked me gently while he massaged my shoulders as I slumped down the sofa. I spent the whole afternoon with Mom and Paul. She needed us and it was the least I could do for her. Addison left early because she had an important work at office but I stayed back because I am lucky to have Sandra to handle my work behind me. I should promote her soon.“I am proud of her. She took it very well and I am glad Paul is in her life. He is the true soulmate she needs and he has all the elements of a good life partner. I think I can be less worried for her now.” I replied to him with a tired smile and kissed his hand.“Are you ready to accept him as your stepfather?” He questioned me and it wasn’t something I expected nor I thought from this angle. My last memories with my father aren’t pleasant and I don’t think I’d rush up things when it comes to my mother’s new relationship.“I don’t know but I think he is an amazing man. If my mother decides t
[ Adeline ]“Good evening, Ms. Harper.” Xavier greeted Melissa’s mother while I stood by his side and politely bowed.The middle aged woman looked hesitant. She was indeed a pretty woman even in her forties. Melissa pretended to be bored but I knew, she was curious. Her greed brought her to our house.“Good evening, Mr. Linwood. When Mel told me that you invited us for dinner, I didn’t believe her.” The woman smiled nervously. It was the first time she was meeting any of the Linwoods.“There’s no need for formalities, Ms. Harper. You can call us by our names. She’s my wife, Adeline.” He introduced me to her.“It’s nice to meet you, Ms. Harper. Please, come with us. The dinner table is set.” I greeted her formally.“You’re directly taking us to the dining room means you invited us just for namesake. I thought we’d continue our conversation where we left in the morning.” Melissa said mockingly to Xavier and I thought it was better if I don’t interfere.“Mel, what are you saying?” Her mo
[ Adeline ]“You did the most amazing thing tonight, Xav. I am proud of you. Miss Harper looked very happy and I don’t think she is a bad person or she has any resentment against our family. And this business idea, when did you learn about her personal life and her skills?” I, who looked really surprised, asked him.“I have my sources everywhere, my love. It was a piece of cake for me to investigate her private life and I found nothing suspicious.” He told me.“I just hope that mow Melissa won’t create problems for us. we did as much as we could do for them.” I said sitting on the couch in the balcony of our room. The weather was cold which made me shiver.“You’ll catch cold, Ade. Let’s go inside.” Xavier said.“Let’s finish this beer then we’ll go. I am enjoying here, just two of us.” I said expression my wish to him.“Only ten minutes more. I don’t want any of us to fall sick. We can’t afford to skip work if we want to go on a week long vacation.” He said and we made a toast by clin
[ Adeline ]I felt immense happiness when I saw my husband’s desperation for me. He was groaning under me while I gave him slow and torturous strokes on his hard shaft. He was trying to untie his hands but I tied them securely.“Ade, you’re going to regret this slow torture if my hands will be free. I don’t think I can stay any longer.” He wreathed under me.“Patience, hubby.” I placed my finger on his lips and grinded my core on his lower abdomen.“Fuck! Just untie me.” He groaned again.I dropped wet and sloppy kisses on the base of his throat and descended down, his back arched while my hands kept stroking him, I knew he was desperate to feel me but I wanted him to feel every aspect of erotic romance, I wish to fulfil all his fantasies.“Please, kiss me.” He begged me and I felt proud of myself. I made him beg for me.Suddenly, I pulled away.“No, tonight kissing is prohibited.” I said with a mischievous glint. My body cells filled with excitement.“This is unfair. I want to taste y
[ Adeline ]“For the last time I am saying this, Mr. Linwood. So, open your ears and listen to me very carefully. I am not taking any self-defence training, that’s it.” I declared my final decision to Xavier who dropped a bomb over my head after the breakfast that my self-defence training will start from today. My driver will take me to the training centre after working hours.“I told you that it’s non-negotiable, Ade then why are you throwing tantrums now?” He threw his hands in the air in frustration as we had been arguing for more than thirty minutes. Our house staff was enjoying the free show.“I am done with you if you keep pestering me like this, Xavier. I know you don’t want me to fall into trouble or danger again but it is too much and I am not very sporty person. I hate going to the gym but it’s important to keep my body in shape and in perfect health.” I gave him my final words and about to walk past from there but he grabbed my hand.“You didn’t mean it?” His voice wavered,
[ Xavier ]“Any updates on Linda and Arthur?” I asked Zach who was enjoying his fifth ice-cream on my account in a nearby café around my office. He called me to meet me there since he thought there could be an informer who’d alert my enemies in hide.“Yes, Mrs. Linwood, I mean your stepmother was spotted in a shopping mall two days ago with a young woman but her face couldn’t be seen as she wore a cap.” Zach told me while swallowing another spoonful of ice-cream.I took a deep breath. He was eating like a buffalo but not giving me specific answer so I took the spoon out of his hand.“What? This almond and cashew ice-cream is made by the bakers of heaven. Let me enjoy this sweet treat, boss.” He whined and who’d say that he’s a professional detective.“You’re going to pay the bill yourself if you don’t tell me everything in clear details right now.” I warned him and it was enough to bring him on the right track.“I promise, this is my last ice-cream. I’ll tell you everything once I fin
[ Xavier ]“Sir, this area isn’t safe. I advise you to return because if someone catches you here, wandering in the shady area of the city, they’ll spread it like a wild fire. You know what consequences it’d bring to us.” My men advised me but there was no backing out for me tonight.“We won’t be spending much time here, Ross. We’ll take Randy with us and leave. The rest will be handled in our basement.” I replied to him and entered in a small, crowdy bar where I could see men drunken, cursing and also fighting among themselves. It was a nasty place, reeking of sweat, alcohol and tobacco but I had to do this for my family.“Where is Randy?” I asked the bartender, she was a woman with tattooed arms.“Who are you, Mister? The president of the country whom I answer? Get lost if you are penniless because we only accept cash.” She gave me a mocking look and resumed her work.“I think this is enough for your mother’s next medical bill, Jennie.” I slapped a thousand dollars on the counter wh
