"Did you know the best thing about Snickers is? It's covered with—" Asher begins, munching on the chocolate, while I stare at him in wide-eyed disbelief.

"You just killed a man in broad daylight," I finally state, standing before him like a statue.

"Yes, that's why I feel hungry. Should we order food? I'm craving pizza," he casually suggests, opening my laptop.

"What are you doing?" I ask, still flabbergasted.

"Ordering food, and then you can tell me why you haven't informed my brother about those men who dared to say such things to you," he replies, looking intently at the laptop screen. "Should I order sides or will the large pizza be too filling?" he asks, and I shake my head.

How can I converse with him normally?

"So, Carter told you?" I inquire as I finally take a seat in front of him.

"Of course he did. Carter tells me everything. We're best friends. He also mentioned your attempt to set him up with someone. I knew my girlfriend would do such things but I expected

    Xena RemingtonAxel texted me after he had Asher drive me home following the incident. Asher and I waited for the pizza to be delivered, ate it, and then he dropped me home. I couldn't get over how seemingly unaffected Asher was after just killing a man. He was chatting away about the most mundane things, talking about how everything sucks, while all I could imagine was the scene of him pulling out his gun and shooting the man right in the head before he could react.Yes, I've seen Axel beat a man to death before, but this was different. This happened right in front of me, and it was something directly related to me. I couldn't wrap my head around how drastically my life had changed. Nothing made sense anymore.When I got home, I received a text from Axel. He asked how I was doing and offered me a few days off if I needed it. He understood if the day's events had shaken me. I assured him that I was fine. Yes, it was disturbing, but somehow, beneath the shock, I felt a strange calmne

    Axel Lancaster My blood boiled with an intensity I could hardly contain as I watched Xena walk away with Asher. The audacity of my own men, laying their hands on her, sent my anger skyrocketing. Storming into Xena's office, my thoughts were consumed by the outrageous incident, ready to confront Asher for his reckless actions. Yet, the moment he explained the situation, my anger took an unexpected turn, shifting to an entirely different target.Returning to my own office, I tried desperately to control the flood of emotions flowing within me. I knew I had to regain my composure before my anger pushed me into making irrational decisions. But it seemed as though my fury had taken on a life of its own, an blaze threatening to consume everything in its path. Violent scenarios played out in my mind, each one more gruesome than the last, imagining payback for those who had dared to disrespect Xena.The notion that my own men could believe they had the right to approach Xena without her cons

    Xena RemingtonI knocked twice on Axel’s office door before pushing it open. I was a bit surprised that his assistant, who was sitting outside, didn't bother stopping me or asking for the reason for my visit. Axel's eyes widened as he looked up from his laptop upon seeing me."Xena, what brings you here?" He asked, closing his laptop to give me his full attention."What did you do to Larry?" I whispered, my voice tinged with horror, as I closed the door behind me."I didn't do anything. It's tragic what happened at the office, but don't worry, the police will investigate and bring justice," he replied, offering one of his knee-weakening smiles.Damn it."Cut the act, Axel. I know you did it, and this has to stop. I don't want to be the cause of this kind of violence," I told him firmly as I sat down across from him. He pursed his lips, his expression unreadable."I didn't do anything," he shrugged, feigning innocence, and flashing me that infuriatingly handsome smile. It's so unfair h

    Xena Remington After having a long lunch with Zara, where I shared all that had been happening to me lately, the expression on her face was absolutely priceless. She couldn't believe the things these men were capable of and how they were getting away with them.To be honest, I was equally surprised. It's really strange how Asher could openly kill Andrew in broad daylight, right in front of many people and no one bothered to name him. Maybe deep down, they know that the police can't do much about it. It seems like the cops are on the Lancasters' side.I got a text from Axel asking me to come to his house. I was thinking of texting back to decline, but I wanted to be cautious until I'm sure Trent is completely safe and Axel doesn't have any harmful plans.Axel did promise not to do anything to Trent without telling me, and somehow that assurance made me feel like we had an unspoken agreement not to cause trouble. So, to keep that peace, I agreed. I thought to myself that I'll be at the

    Georgina WestAs I served breakfast to my 6-year-old twins, Ace and Luna, my mind was still preoccupied with work-related thoughts. While I adore my kids more than anything, I can't help but feel that they have become increasingly challenging to handle each day. Fortunately, my mother-in-law, Sienna, continues to support me in looking after them, even though I am no longer with her son.My husband, Archer, and I were childhood sweethearts who married at a young age and later became parents. Although we had a strong bond and deep love, complications arose after having kids, causing us to grow apart. We separated five years ago, yet we haven't finalized the divorce despite my numerous discussions about it, especially now that I have a boyfriend.As Toby, my boyfriend, affectionately hugged me from behind before joining us at the breakfast table, I noticed Sienna's disapproval, making me to glare at her. The children enjoyed having breakfast with their father and appreciated his daily sc

    Xena RemingtonI spent the whole day with a smile on my face, replaying last night's dinner with Axel in my mind. He had been so kind, and being around him felt so effortless. It was a stark contrast to my usual experiences with men, where conversations often felt like a struggle.With Axel, even silence held a certain charm. It was as if we understood each other on a different level, without the need for constant words. I couldn't help but wonder if I had put too much pressure on our interactions initially. Maybe I had rushed into things, hoping for a deeper connection before it naturally developed.As I hummed a tune while cooking my favorite meal, the doorbell started ringing insistently. It was unusual for someone to visit at such a late hour. I speculated it could be Zara, seeking more insights into the Lancasters and our possible strategies to handle them. Or perhaps it was Axel? Panic fluttered in me at the thought of meeting him in my current state—a baggy, bleach-stained T-sh

    Xena Remington"Really? You two are not together?" Tiffany's disbelief dripped from her words, while I continued to be the focus of their attention."No? I mean, no, right? Are we? No. We are not," I stammered, growing a bit flustered as their intense gazes made me question my own words.Axel was about to respond, but suddenly a car pulled up outside, screeching to a halt in my backyard. The three of us leaned closer to the open door to see who the reckless driver was, and to our surprise, it was Jace, Tiffany's brother. I couldn't help but roll my eyes at his over-the-top appearance – dressed entirely in black, complete with a large black overcoat. Every inch of him screamed wealth and fashion.Why was he here? Did Axel call him?"Hello, ex-brother-in-law! How's Georgina?" Jace chimed in with a mischievous smile, clearly aware that mentioning his sister-in-law would provoke some kind of reaction from Axel."Shut up. Take your sister and get out of here," Axel growled, his irritation

    Xena RemingtonI woke up the next morning feeling a mix of emotions. The events of last night still lingered in my mind, and I couldn't shake off the heaviness that came with it. I knew that the world Axel and I were navigating was far from ordinary, and encounters like the one with Tiffany were a stark reminder of that reality.As I got ready for the day, I couldn't help but replay our conversation in my head. Tiffany's words had stung, even though I tried to brush them off. Her accusations about me being a temporary presence in Axel's life had struck a nerve, igniting my insecurities.Heading to work, I decided to distract myself by focusing on my tasks. Zara was already at the office when I arrived, her face a mix of concern and curiosity. "Are you okay?" she asked as soon as she saw me.I sighed and shrugged. "Last night was... intense. Tiffany showed up at my door drunk and angry. It was a mess."Zara's eyebrows shot up. "Tiffany? As in Axel's ex?"I nodded, recounting the events

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.
