“Okay so, these are the list of complaints that were lodged against Norman Smith by three different female employees.” I immediately change the subject as I hand him the file named Norman Smith.

“Sure. Now how about we talk about the question I asked you before you deflected with a different answer?” He asks, without skipping a beat as I finally look him in his eyes, unable to get over how huge his stature was compared to me.

He wasn’t wearing his blazer so his muscular biceps were easily visible through his shirt. He had folded up his sleeves which caused a further distraction for me as I couldn’t get over his well-developed forearms.

Am I the only woman who has a thing for forearms?

“That- that’s just stupid.” I groan, hoping he would drop the topic but it didn’t seem like he was going to.

I tripped a little near my desk as he walked towards me, making my heart race in anticipation, “Mr Lancaster… I….-“ I gasp as I feel his hands on my waist lifting me up easily as i

    Xena Remington My eyes stay fixated on my laptop screen as I see the name Jerold Hart on hundreds of expenditure statements, which go back up to five years. All the receipts that he had submitted were clearly fake and it was clear that he had manipulated the accounts to cover up the fact that he is pocketing all the money.Jerold is embezzling money from the Lancasters for years now.My hands were shaking as I tried to not have a panic attack. I have only seen Axel’s nice side but the Lancasters are famously known for putting a bullet into someone’s head if they were betrayed. I know for a fact that Zara’s stepfather was killed like that.I quickly run out of my office to Zara’s cubicle, I need to find her and tell her what I just found out. I know Axel warned me not to tell anyone about these things but I don’t want to be the reason behind Jerold’s death.“Zara.” I choke as I look at her with a horrified look on my face.“Xena!” She immediately stands up with a worried look on her f

    Xena Remington“I-I don’t think I understand.” I stutter as I try to regulate my breathing but it was difficult because this godly man is so incredibly close to me. “Well, I need something in return if I let a man live because you asked me to. We don’t usually do that here, you see.” He mocks me as that smug smirk refuses to leave his insanely attractive face.“I can’t give you anything. There is nothing that I possibly have that you don’t already have.” I tell him, I knew that he was aware of the fact. He is from the mafia and he is a billionaire. He can literally get anything, there is nothing in this world that I can offer him.“I guess that's true, well I’ll see you tomorrow. Also, I guess you’ll help Jerold’s parents with his funeral arrangements. ” I stare at him with horror as he nonchalantly mentions a man’s funeral.Unlike Jerold, his parents were amazing. I don’t know how someone who was raised by those two people turned out to be a monster. His parents would never be able

    Xena Remington“Hello,” I look up to see a ridiculously handsome man, looking a lot like Axel, maybe just a few years younger. They had the same facial structure and eyes, “I am Asher Lancaster.” He greets me with a radiant smile on his face.“Umm Hello, Mr Lancaster, I wasn’t expecting you,” I say, getting up from my seat and shaking his hand. I felt like a dwarf in front of him. Why are all these Lancaster men so big?“Yep, I am here to file a complaint against the CEO of this company.” He says in a deadly serious tone as we sit down.“Are we talking about your elder brother?” I ask in a confused tone, still not sure why Asher Lancaster had come here to meet me.“I am sorry, I am a very professional person. In this office, he is my boss ‘apparently’ so everyone is supposed to listen to what the ‘great’ Axel says. I was busy today and he forced me to come in. so I want to file a complaint against him. Apparently, he is the only one ‘with a life’ and we have to plan everything around

    Xena Remington I haven’t slept in 20 hours. I’ve had 6 coffees to keep myself up as I continue trying to keep myself busy with work. Axel hasn’t come in for work today and he refuses to answer my calls when I tried to call him to ask about his whereabouts. I tried calling Jerold too, several times but I just kept hearing the same message again and again for the umpteenth time. ‘This number doesn’t exist’.You’ve got to be kidding me?Did the Lancaster’s just make Jerold disappear? Did he just cease to exist? I knew they were not going to go easy on Jerold but I did not expect Jerold to vanish entirely.This is all getting a little too crazy for me. Where is Axel? I can't handle this uncertainty anymore.“Wow, you look really tired.” Zara says in a worried tone as she enters my office, “You know Jerold is alive for sure, right? I am sorry Axel is not someone that will break a promise. Honestly, Asher would, he likes to play god with everyone.” She says as she rolls her eyes as if he

    Xena RemingtonI am so drunk. I kept falling onto the seat of my Uber every time my driver even took a small turn. Zara and I went out and partied a lot, it was fun to get our minds off our problems. But then we relapsed and I typed out a message to Axel and showed it to Zara as a joke, but she ended up pressing send. I wish I could delete it but he had already read it.I re-read the message as the Uber driver pulled into my lane:Hello Axel Lancaster sir,How dare you ignore my call? If you have a real man’s blood in your body, come and talk to me to my face. I dare you to. I am not scared of you. I once held a hunting gun in my hand but then my father took it from me.But I have held a gun in my hand.So please be scared of me.Also, how dare you ignore my call? I am mad at you. I don’t want to talk to you anymore. Now I will be the one who will do the ignoring.Bye…..(Don’t try calling me, I will not answer your call.)Oh no!!!I am going to kill Zara.

    Xena RemingtonI whine audibly when Axel lightly pushes me off his lap and quickly grabs the comforter, and wraps it around me. NoooooooooooooWhy does he keep covering me up?“Go to sleep, Xena.” He says in a weak tone as he pushes me down on my back in a feeble attempt to make me go to sleep. He grabs his keys from my coffee table and looks down at me. I was staring back at him, trying to adjust my vision, my head was still light because of the alcohol.“Axel, I need coffee, can you help me sober up,” I say in a sad tone, knowing that I didn’t want him to leave just yet.“Fine. Wait here. I’ll bring you some coffee.” He says as he walks towards my kitchen. I quickly remove the comforter to see how my dress was bunched up, he probably saw my thick thighs and also how my breasts were barely covered by the low neckline dress.I straightened my dress a little and fixed my hair before following him to the kitchen as well. I stood there near the kitchen staring at him as he made me my co

I was running late for my class. As I walked through the corridors with books in my hand I silently prayed Danika Williams and her minions were not around, even if they were, hopefully Nathaniel Lachlan was around.
He was the most feared guy in our city. He was the quarterback in football and also a genius in each and every aspect. I knew and liked him since kindergarten. He was a very friendly kid back then but after his parents died in an accident he has been aloof. He lived with his grandfather, Joseph

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

    Xena RemingtonLying in bed, the soft glow of the bedside lamp enveloping us, I felt a whirlwind of emotions swirling within me. 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.
