Xavier inspected her face and then her arms, but Regan stopped him when he wanted to go down to check her stomach.
"No, stop. Xavier, you should not be concerned about me when you hold a part in what happened last night" her comment made Xavier still; for a moment, he started thinking of what he did to make her drink and get wasted.
He did not find an answer, so he looked at Regan's face.
"What do you mean?" he asked. Confusion draped his face with a slight mix of hurt.
She huffed and glared at him. Regan feels so tempted to slap Xavier as he knows his brother more than she does. He should have known Aisling was not in danger, as Alex never called anyone the entire night after Xavier left. This means there was no threat to Aisling, So why didn't Xavier com
Chapter 45Alex Pov;What have I done? I looked at the walls of my ceiling, feeling guilty that I had used her. I had never felt this way before, disgusted, ashamed. But this has to be done. She needs to hate me to stay away from the mess I am.I know I came out as a ruthless person. But knowing the fact that Vanessa is back, I have to do something to make that stupid little minx hate me. She doesn't even realize how fast she is growing on me. My body heats up with the thought of her.Her every action, her every response, was embedded in my brain. When I came home tonight, I never thought I would be here with my thoughts. All day, I have planned my ways to handle Venessa. I had never thought that my little minx had a lot of things planned for me.I smiled when I thought back to her expression when I came back inside and caught her and Xavier behind the wall. I was beyond angry, but I was more jealous that she gave importance to my brother.
Regan Pov:-Regan woke up after three to four of her non-existing sleep.Alcohol is still very much alive in her breath. She saw a piece of paper in her line of sight. She touched it, and it slid down the pillow."By Xavier "......was written on it with a sad smile on top. She huffed.She knew it was from Xavier. His scent lingers all over the paper. Deep down, she wished it was from someone else. Someone she learned to see no word of Apology, She role over in her bed facing her window and raised her hand in the air.Her wedding ring captured her fascination. A wedding ring with no meaning, just a platinum band around her finger, was holding her bondage. After this year, it might never have
Chapter 47I re-read that letter four-five times and then put it away. All the thoughts jammed my brain.So that Vanessa bi*ch was back for Alex that I established by the news I saw, but why would Alex then be so cozy with her if he hates her?She turns on the TV to search for any news channel playing the news of Alex and Vanessa and found ABC playing it. She turned off the volume and just observed Alex's hand, his body language, and her body language. It was all puzzling. She saw Vanessa clinging to Alex in one picture, but Regan saw more behind Alex's dazzling smile.She saw Alex's body still like a rod and his eyes looking cold in the last picture, but his face seemed so warm in the next one, and his eyes showed love.
Chapter 48.Roman clears his throat after the awkward moment, but he just can look away from her. Not when she looked like this.!!!!He saw her looking away like trying to soak in everything and bit his tongue.He still remembers the day he first saw her in that bar.She was a spitfire ready to burn, and the way she fought while Alex tried to blackmail her into signing that contract was a sight he won't forget.A girl like her was hard to find on earth, a perfect match for Alex, and today right now, standing in front of him was someone else.He saw her face was losing the shine she held on her wedding. No, she starts to lose her brightness from that day.
Alex swallowed his breath, his body becoming hot all over again. His breath ragged, and a feeling of blood running down part north made him hard.He clenched his jaw, denying what his body made him feel, and focused on Vanessa again. He doesn't know what his wife said to his ex, but Vanessa's face told him that whatever that was, it sure was not a joke.Regan left and made her way inside the house. Roman followed suit but just to go to his car. He turns toward Alex, indicating calling him a letter, and jumps in.He reversed and drove down the same path Alex came.Now only Vanessa and he were left, but his heart did not acknowledge her presence. She pulled on his arm, and he followed her wherever she kept leading him.
"Owe, what do you think you are doing" his anger radiates in his voice like a wildfire, but slop passes through Regan's reckless drunk state.She didn't even acknowledge his remark.She wiggled her toe in the cold water a calm smirk made its way on her face.Alex was going all nuts that she didn't even acknowledge him.Like WTF.He hurried toward her and snatched his Whiskey from her hand, but Regan swatted his hand away.Alex greets his teeth to stop his anger, but he keeps losing it bit by bit.He tried again and again, but when nothing worked. He did not have patience for this. Alex pushed her i
Chapter 51"The hell, "Regan whispers, looking at the night sky. What Alex just said does not make any sense in Regan's head.She twisted her face when she thought back to her conversation with that bi*ch B.**7 hours before the current time. **"Awe is little B with an Itch is hurt that I called her an old toy," she faked pouted and shrugged her shoulder."Do you want me to kiss it better, or do you want me to kick you better?" She kept her tone in check, but she chose to step down when another growl broke from Alex's throat.She gave her husband a sweet look and leaned to his side, and just like any other romantic novel hero, Alex closed his
"What were you trying to do" Alex's voice came out more like a grumble when he tried to sit up, keeping Regan in his arms.Regan mumbled some curses, and when Alex glared holes in her for her profanity, she sighed."Why don't you ask your pretty little slut why she locked the door," she said, anger laced in her tone. That last word did not go unnoticed by Alex and definitely not by the one it was for.Vanessa rolled her eyes at Regan and bit her lip."I did not do such a thing," she said, her tone bored. "She just was calling me out, and I thought she was a thief, so I locked the door. I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you," she said. Fake concern crossed her face making Regan roll her eyes."Oh, yeh you're a complete saint wearing tones of fake jewels. I wonder who will be dumb enough to rob you.... huh!!!".Regan muttered in a low tone.Alex finally let go of her and stood up. He passed by Vanessa and made his way upstairs again.Regan
I can hear my men's screaming all around me. After a few minutes, the dirt cleared a bit. I ran towards the hole to find Vanessa gone.I turned to the other side, but she just was gone. I blinked my eyes."Alex what's going on?" I heard Paul's voice on my Bluetooth."Search the warehouse. She is gone. She is gone..." I screamed at the top of my lungs.Everything around me was chaos. My men were searching everywhere, but no one found a clue where she went.I saw Roman running toward me at lightning speed."Alex, it's for you" he handed me his cell phone with an unknown number. I picked it up and placed it on speaker."You think you had me in your trap Alexander, but just like always I'm far away from you, you said May Satan deliver you the same pain you deliver us, but honey I forget to mention. The Satan is my best friend." Her laugh killed me on the inside."May god bless you and your so-called wife Alex!!" The call disconnected, and I lost her location.I smashed the phone on the gr
EpilogueAlex POV: -Is it possible to feel death before you die? Is it?When she walked out, I felt the need to run behind her, but I had to stay. Her final words were ringing in my head, but I knew I had to do what I had to do to make her walk away. It wasn't her fault that she fell for me.It was mine. Little did she know I fell for her too. The most brutal discussion that I have to take is the one to let her go.Every day when I hurt her, it stabbed me too.God knows how we came to this place. The year was almost over, and if it weren't for the significant theft I faced, I wouldn't have to let her go. I did it for her. I let the girl I loved walk away with so much hate in her for me because I believe it's easy this way.The moment the front door closed, I waited.I waited till I knew she was far enough, and I hoped Paul had given her the car keys so she could get away fast.She thinks I don't see who Venessa was but my love ...she didn't know that I already know who the snake was.
I used to love this initially, but I don't know why and how much I deny I still love this man if it's all he wanted, so be it. For my child, I will walk away."That my husband means that you trusted the wrong bitch. What do you think your girlfriend is an angle or something! Think Alex!!! She walked away from you with your money before!! Then why would she come back? if she didn't want more?" I asked. A flick of realization of what I was saying crossed his eyes.Roman's phone started ringing, and he walked away, taking his call.Vanessa stepped toward Alex and placed her hand on his shoulder. She starts saying something to him."Hi, I'm here. Please speak louder because I can't hear you," I snapped.She looked up and back at Alex, gave me a Devi grin, and stepped back."It's none of your business!!'. Oh, legit, that pissed me off—none of my business.I stood up, pus
The moment Alex pushed me inside his car in 'All gentlemen way,' I knew the day was just getting started.I tucked myself in. Getting my seat belt on, I was choking with fear inside me. The look in his eye, His demeanor against me, his voice chilling cold, all this indicated something. I was scared.Not for me...Not for him...I was scared for the baby, A life that was inside me. I closed my eyes, not facing him, but I wanted to see his eyes. I feel like I'm seeing him for the last time. Even though I want to escape him, my heart still wants him.The tension inside the car was so thick I could slice it with a knife. I gulped the air. I breathe, trying to calm myself."Alex, where are we going? I asked. My voice didn't tremble, and I was grateful for that. His finger clenched around the staring wheels. They turn pale white, making the lather underneath crunch. He kept his eyes on the road without looking my way, not even a glance.A storm was rising on the horiz
I gave up and moved on to the next choir, and minutes after minutes, the list became small. After cooking, Mandy came to my help, and after two hours of working, our asses off the list of choirs were over.I fell onto the couch with a heavy sigh. I was exhausted, and my feet hurt bad. Mandy bought herself and me a cup of coffee and some cookies making me smile."Oh, why thank you, my lady," I said, pretending to speak in British are sent, but we all know I suck at it.The door to the room in which Roman was opened. He came out looking frustrated and equally aggravated.He left without saying a word to me, making me suspicious of his behavior. I let out a yawn and fell asleep on the couch within a few minutes of having some food in my belly.When I woke up, I heard heavy footsteps coming toward me. I glance up to find Alex standing in. Front of me. His face was red like hell boy or something.I sat up, but he grabbed my hand and pulled me out of th
"There is a list of things she wants you to do?" Now it was his eyes that were wide like a saucer.I gave him the 'you are kidding me look.'"What did you expect out of a devil spawn? I wasn't that shocked like you are Roman!!!" Did he think that women with a face like duck poop would let me be for one day? Off course not!!"Can I see it?" He asked, extending his hand out, requesting no denying his approach with his eyes. I don't want to give up soon, but what's the point! It's not like he would twist his wand and extend the already ginormous list.I pulled the list out of my pocket.Yeh, know girls *cough* BRA *cough*!!! It was embarrassing as I was in front of a guy who is also my hu
Oh, you got to be kidding me.!!!I kept repeating that in my head when I tried to make the log list of shits. I wanted to kill someone, but I couldn't. If only I could hurt that bitch in her face.I put the last dish down after wiping the water off it. My hands hurt so bad.Mandy was trying to help me as much as she could, but it's two people who only could do as much. I sigh in frustration."We won't be able to complete this on our own, Mandy," I said, sitting down on the floor Indian style."We need help. If only I could get some from my god," I huffed. Mandy pouted her face and then sat down next to me. Her face was red with sweat at the heat. I feel like b with itch whining like a five-year-old when she
"Why do you care so much?" She glared at Me, which I completely ignored. I was too fazed with the beautiful home my so-called husband was paying for. Indeed it was expensive. You can feel it. The place must be costing him a hell lot of money.I glanced back to Venessa, but she was gone. A few minutes later, she was back in the room with a girl behind her ordering her likes the boss."Mandy, she is your responsibility for today teach her what she needs to do throughout the day. I already gave you the list of things I want to be done so don't miss anything or you will be responsible for the consequences." She went on and on and on about her things and all when I zoned her out.My attention was repurchased when I saw two fingers snapping in front of my eyes.My focus was back on her snotty face.With a smirk, I asked, "Yes, madam?"Her face turns red. She knew I wouldn't listen to a word she will say, even if she complained about this to Alex,
She clears her throat, trying to catch Alex's eyes. He looked up just for a moment, and then his phone started ringing. With his lips pressed in line, he walked down the stairs.He pressed his phone to his ears. He was pinning Venessa and me where we were."Speak"-- the person online said something that twisted Alex's face in confusion and anger."I am on my way." Yeah, that's it. That is how long he speaks on the phone. If I measured it, that was no longer than five seconds. I wonder how much is his phone bills."He walked passed me to Venessa and pulled her close. He whispered something in her ears and then gave her a wet and loud kiss.Show off. I rolled my eyes at his actions.My stomach twisted at its sight, not because of pain but how cheap and genuinely disgusting it was.I clear my voice."Sir, I think madam I getting late for her day so maybe we should go!!!'. I emphasized the word 'Madam' and 'sir' on which Venessa smiled, but
