Xena Remington

My world has been completely upended over the past month. Axel and I have been inseparable, and let's not even start about the physical chemistry between us—it's been like fireworks on the Fourth of July. Yet, amidst all this, we've avoided the deep talks, the serious conversations that make or break relationships. Instead, we've opted for laughter, adventures, and keeping the atmosphere as light as a summer breeze.

But there's a whisper in the back of my mind, a voice that refuses to be silenced. It's the voice that asks, "What exactly are we?" and "What's the meaning behind all of this?" I can almost visualize my own overthinking brain armed with a megaphone, ready to disrupt these amazing moments with its nagging questions.

For once, I wish I could just let things be. I wish I could allow myself to experience joy without instantly translating it into a series of definitions and labels. It's almost comical how my mind threatens to unravel the very fabric of this newfo

    Axel LancasterI received a call from one of the bodyguards I'd stationed near Xena's house to prevent any repeat of the Tiffany incident. I couldn't bear the thought of her waiting, potentially in danger, for me to arrive. Though Tiffany didn't come off as violent, I knew the truth – she was unpredictable. I had no doubt that Xena would never endanger anyone's life, not even my mother's, regardless of the circumstances.My aversion to Tiffany wasn't solely due to her actions against my mother; it was the realization that I didn't truly know the person I was planning to marry. The superficial charm and beauty had masked who she really was. The contrast with Xena was striking. With her, I could anticipate her words and actions. I had a clear sense of her capabilities and limitations. Even her surprises were delightful.Observing her from outside her house, I watched as she verbally lashed out at Jerold with an intensity that needed no further explanation. It was empowering to see her f

    Emily WarnerI was depressed.I haven't gotten out of my bed for two days now. Going to sleep knowing that no man is attracted to me and that I am unlovable is now calming to me.I was ashamed, all my friends were in a happy relationship.I was happy for all of them but I hated how jealous I was. I just found out that Elizabeth and Victoria were pregnant, there is something going on with Danika and Jake, lastly Landon was also invested in a girl.And what am I doing you ask?I am sitting in front of the television every night with a bottle of wine and scrolling through happy engagement pictures of Hank Simmons.I lied to everyone, my family, friends and coworkers. I told them I am going on a trip to the Bahamas but what was I actually going to do? Sit in my bed, crying and making weird ass noises to express the pain I can't put into words.I think even my cat is worried about me now.Hank Simmons was the typical guy next door, he was my boss and I was blinded with so many love stories

    Xena Remington "I can't believe the audacity of that man. He actually showed up here with flowers!" I ranted to Axel, who shook his head and busied himself with retrieving tea from a cabinet."Yeah, I think we might need to consider permanently removing him," Axel mused casually. I nearly choked on my saliva at his statement, coughing uncontrollably."Whoa, hold on a second! Axel Lancaster, you absolutely cannot do that. Can you please stop suggesting killing people?" I managed to sputter, glancing up at him as he continued to soothingly rub my back."It's just a precaution, doll," he explained, his touch oddly calming even though his words were anything but."How about we just start killing everyone who could statistically pose a threat? As a precaution, of course," I sarcastically retorted, raising an eyebrow at him."Now that's getting a bit ridiculous. Can you imagine how crowded my schedule would be with disposing of all those bodies?" he laughed, the humor in his eyes contrasti

    Xena RemingtonMy phone buzzed on the coffee table, and I glanced over to see Axel's mother's name on the caller ID. Sienna Lancaster. The mob wife.The thought of talking to her sent a wave of nervousness through me. After all, I hadn't exactly been truthful about the nature of my relationship with her son.Taking a deep breath, I answered the call. "Hello, Mrs. Lancaster.""Oh, please, dear for the hundredth time. Call me Sienna," came her warm voice on the other end. "I hope I'm not catching you at a bad time.""No, not at all," I replied, my heart pounding. I had spoken to her a few times before, always maintaining the facade that Axel and I were in a committed relationship. It wasn't exactly a lie, but it wasn't the whole truth either."I was wondering, dear," Sienna continued, "if you would be interested in joining me for lunch one day? I've been itching to spend some quality time with my future daughter-in-law."I felt my stomach drop as panic set in. She thought I was her son

    Xena RemingtonThe luxurious restaurant radiated an air of elegance, from its lavish chandeliers to the elaborate details in its décor. I adjusted my outfit nervously, glancing around at the well-dressed patrons enjoying their meals. Meeting Axel's mother, Sienna, in such a high-end establishment only intensified my anxiety.As I waited for Sienna to arrive, my mind raced with thoughts of how this encounter would unfold. She believed I was her son's future daughter-in-law, a notion that both thrilled and unnerved me. I had always admired Sienna from a distance, her poise and grace undeniable even to someone who wasn't part of their world. I hoped I don’t end up making her dislike me.Soon enough, Sienna entered the restaurant, her radiant smile capturing the attention of everyone around her. Her stylish attire and confident stride made me realize how much Lancaster boys have picked up from their mother. My nerves intensified as she approached the table, her warm eyes fixing on me."Xen

    Xena RemingtonWith a deep breath, I rang the doorbell at Axel's house. Sienna's unconventional advice was guiding my actions now. His mother seemed to understand him better than anyone, so I was giving her approach a shot. Nervousness and determination mingled within me as I waited for someone to answer."Hello, dear. I didn't know you were going to drop by," Mrs. Costanza greeted me warmly as she stepped aside, allowing me to enter the spacious house.I put on a confident smile, though my heart was racing. Sienna's words echoed in my mind, urging me to push forward. "Oh, I'll be dropping in more often. You know, I am Axel's girlfriend," I stated, trying to sound sure of myself. Sienna had made it clear that chickening out was not an option, and I was here to follow through."Of course," Mrs. Costanza replied with a knowing smile, her eyes twinkling with amusement as I walked into the inviting living room. "Feel free to make yourself comfortable. Let me call Axel.""No need, really.

    Axel LancasterAs I sat on my bed watching old reruns of a sitcom, with Xena beside me flipping through her book, her words echoed in my mind, I couldn't help but marvel at the turn of events. Just minutes ago, I had been stuck in one of the most frustrating days I'd experienced in a long time.The morning had kicked off with a call that set my nerves on edge. It was my informant, reporting that a rival gang was encroaching on our territory. As if dealing with internal power struggles wasn't enough, this was a headache I didn't need. Tensions had been simmering, and I knew I had to handle this situation delicately to avoid an all-out war.On top of that, I found myself locked in a heated confrontation with Dominic, one of my most trusted men. He'd been pushing for more control within the organization, and our disagreement had escalated faster than I'd anticipated. Keeping a level head had been a challenge, but it was a necessary part of maintaining order.Then came a furious call from

    Xena Remington I couldn’t believe how well everything was going. I didn’t even think for a second that Axel would give in so easily. I think I should let Sienna control my whole life; I can't imagine the wonders I could do with that.But I wasn’t sure how serious Axel knew I was. He found the whole situation humorous because he wouldn’t stop laughing out of amusement.Yes, we didn’t have sex last night. I want to take it all a little slow and not rush into too many things. I want to completely establish our relationship before we go any further. I want him to understand that I am a twenty-eight-year-old woman and I don’t have that much time left. I hate to be that woman, but yes, my biological clock is ticking, and I have always loved kids.

He would have made a horrible father and ruined those kids’ lives.But now, Axel is such a wonderful man. Sweet, unde

As I wrapped up my class, I realized how distracted I was throughout it. I started teaching psychology at this well-known university three years ago. I was twenty-five years old when I had my first batch of students and I know as a teacher I am not supposed to have favourites but I did have one, Jimmy Miller. He was very smart and had recently got an internship at a recognized enterprise.
But unfortunately things spiraled from there, the owner, Paul Scotts was actually a sadist, alcoholic asshole who liked beating peopl

    Xena Remington Was I nervous? Yes. Was I excited? Yes.I was formally engaged today to the love of my life. I continued looking at the beautiful ring Axel had picked out. it was clear that he had asked Zara for some help and she had shown him the exact ring I wanted, I had also saved it on my pinterest board and I couldn’t believe that he got the exact same design and colour.Axel always goes all out for me.I looked around to find him as everyone around us was drunk and enjoying the engagement party but I couldn’t find Axel in the mix. His brothers were laughing and having a great time. Everyone was too busy to know where Axel was.As I headed out of the huge venue hall. I saw Axel heading towards the huge common area, which had big couches and a bar as well.“What are you doing here?” I ask Axel who is startled by my voice but just shakes his head a little to tell me he is fine, “Are you drunk? But you don’t drink?” I ask in a worried tone, “Axel, please tell me what’s going on?”

    Axel Lancaster“So did you talk to your mom?” Xena asks me as she dries her hair with a towel, fresh out of the shower. My eyes immediately go down her body, looking at her ass as she tries to find the clothes she wants to wear in the closet.I breathe in harshly as she bends over making the small towel rise a little over her thighs almost to her ass, as she struggles to find a dress. I knew she was complaining about something in the background but I couldn’t do two things at the same time. To be fair, it was impossible to concentrate on anything when she was bent down in front of me.“Axel. Did you?” she asks me again as she waves her hand in front of my face as she walks up to me with a dress in her hand.“Yes of course. Why wouldn’t I?” I say as I look down at her chest, the towel doing barely anything to contain her breasts. “Axel, what did I ask you?” Xena whined as she grabbed my chin up and made me look into her beautiful big eyes.She is so cute when she is angry.“AXEL!!!”

    Xena RemingtonSienna's announcement of the wedding date left me both excited and apprehensive. I knew Axel and I needed to have a conversation about this, but Sienna had made it clear that it was to be kept as a surprise. I respected her wishes, but my curiosity gnawed at me.As the days passed, the anticipation grew but couldn’t do anything about it.Then one afternoon, in the midst of a lazy day, I had taken a holiday to relax after a rush day at the office. As I was going through my mail, I found a mail sent to me by me?What the hell?My eyes widened as I looked at the wedding card. Uh-oh.I paced around nervously in the bedroom, knowing Axel is going to have some sort of a reaction to this, but to be fair, even I didn’t know that his mother has sent out wedding invitations.My bit my lip nervously as I heard a car pulling in the driveaway. It was three o clock in the afternoon and I am guessing Axel had rushed home after seeing the wedding car.I went downstairs to the living r

    Xena RemingtonThe sunlit morning filled our cozy living room as I sipped on my coffee, my mind drifting through thoughts and plans for the day. The doorbell's unexpected chime broke through my reverie, and I glanced at the clock. It was still early."Who could that be?" I wondered aloud, setting my coffee down and heading to the door.As I opened it, my heart warmed at the sight of Sienna and Georgina standing there, both grinning mischievously."Surprise!" Sienna chimed, her eyes twinkling.Georgina added, "Hope we're not interrupting anything important."I chuckled, shaking my head. "Not at all. What brings you both here?"Sienna's grin widened as she held up her hands, revealing a wedding planner's portfolio. "We're here to help you plan your dream wedding, darling."My eyes widened, and a mix of surprise and nervousness bubbled up within me. We had discussed this plan, Sienna and I, but seeing it unfold in front of me was both exciting and slightly intimidating.Before I could fu

    Xena RemingtonThe evening of the hosted dinner had finally arrived, and as I stood by the entrance, welcoming both the Lancaster and Remington families, I was in disbelief over the fact that this is actually happening. I never thought I would be hosting a family dinner in my billionaire boyfriend’s penthouse. I always thought I would have the worst family gatherings because Jerold or Fiona would always cause a scene somehow.The Lancasters arrived, led by Sienna, who looked beautiful as ever. It made me happy to see her getting along with my mother so much, they seemed to get along well. As our families exchanged polite greetings, Fiona lingered at the back, her disinterest palpable.I watched her closely, curious to see her reaction as she laid eyes on Axel. I couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy when her indifferent expression shifted into something more intrigued the moment she saw him.Axel shook hands with my parents, sharing a few friendly words, but when he came to Fion

The echoes of yesterday's family dinner still resonated in my mind, and I knew I had to talk to Axel about it.Shifting my gaze to him, I sought refuge in his warm eyes. "Axel, can we discuss what happened yesterday?"His concern was palpable, his touch a soothing caress against my cheek. "Of course, Xena. I sensed there was something on your mind."Summoning my courage, I began, "My family really loved the house, especially my parents. It made me feel proud and happy, but..."His reassuring smile encouraged me to continue. "But what's been bothering you, love? You know you can share anything with me."Inhaling deeply, I released my thoughts, "its Fiona. I can't shake off this worry that she might try to flirt with you or create tension. She's always had this way of getting under my skin. I just... I don't want her to ruin what we have."His eyes softened, h

    Xena Remington The decision to reveal my relationship to my parents had been weighing heavily on my mind since my conversation with Sienna at the party, where the topic of marriage came up. I was well aware that springing such news on my parents out of the blue wouldn't be wise, and I felt the urgency to tell them about Axel sooner rather than later.As each day passed, the knot of anxiety in my stomach tightened. How could I explain to my parents that I was dating a man from the Lancaster family, a name that my mother used to evoke fear when I was younger?After several days of nervously pondering the situation, I concluded that I needed to broach the subject when I gift them the house. To that end, I extended an invitation to my entire family for a weeklong visit to the city, hoping to gather the courage needed for this important conversation."Your house is truly beautiful, sweetheart. I'm incredibly proud of all your achievements, and I'm thrilled that you've moved on from Jerold.
