The Mafia And The HR Chapter Twenty Four
Xena RemingtonThe silence in Axel’s office was deafening after Asher left the room. I fidgeted with my hands a little as I stared at Axel who was reading something very intently on his laptop. I sit down in front of him, not being able to control my curiosity, “So where is Jerold? I called him 25 times. He hasn’t picked up yet.”He looks up from the laptop, pursing his lips with disappointment sprawled across his handsome face, “You called him? 25 times? And what exactly are you going to tell him was the reason behind those 25 calls when he finally gets in touch with you?” Realization sinks in as my mouth falls open.I fucked up.“Because Jerold can’t know you work for me, so according to him, you are not aware of the fact that he was going to die, you know that right, sweetheart?” I continue staring at him as I try to think of what possible reason I can give Jerold for calling him a million times. He can never know I work for the Lancasters. It would put me in a lot of danger, espec

Chapter 25Xena RemingtonI keep fidgeting with my hands as I keep checking my watch and seeing the time change from 7:03 to 7:04. I refuse to look up to the driver's seat to see Axel focusing on the road, driving his car to his house. Out of nowhere, as I was ready to leave for home, Axel came down to my office and said that we were going to his home to continue the discussion. All I could think was about me having to kiss him, I would argue that I don’t need to be comfortable around him and that I can sell the kiss in front of his parents but even I cannot deny my awkward nature anymore.“What are we going to do exactly?” I finally ask as we pull into his house.“Well, you need to learn the basic information every girlfriend should know and I’ll do the same thing with you.” He says but I resist my urge to scream and ask him, ‘what about the ‘kissing part’ but I couldn’t gather the courage to ask him that.“Okay but I have a problem-“ I start but he cuts me off almost immediately.“
The Mafia And The HR Chapter Twenty Six
Xena RemingtonMy laptop screen turned black, snapping me out of my daze, and making me realize that I started my day, daydreaming about the toe-curling kiss again. I haven’t been the same person after that wretched kiss that probably ruined all other men for me. Neither can I focus on my work nor can I get the images of Axel Lancaster out of my head.I don’t understand what Axel wants from me. He, for sure, has women a hundred times more attractive around him but he wants to toy with me. I don’t think I will ever get over the fact that a man like Axel is attracted to me.“Hello.” I hear a loud booming voice, breaking me out of my trance again. I look up to see Asher Lancaster standing by the door, continuously knocking on it even after getting my attention, “Wow, someone’s daydreaming at their job. Are you thinking about the beautiful children you’ll have with Axel?” He asks as he enters my office and sits in front of me like a king and I continue staring blankly at him.Axel has giv

Xena Remington“Carry your highest pair of heels. I don’t want people thinking that I am dating a minion.” Axel says as I continue to glare at him, while he laughs like an asshole at the third joke in a row he made about me.“I am 5 feet 5 inches tall. My height is pretty normal. You are a giant.” I say through gritted teeth as I sink back on the couch in his living room while he goes over the timetable for our trip as I make a note of all the necessities that I need to carry.“Doll, just carry your highest pair of heels.” He says as he goes through his phone, showing me pictures of his mother, father and his elder brother Archer and his ex-wife, who is still very dear to his family.Thankfully, I already met his infuriating younger brother, Asher.“I think I know all of the things that I need to know about you. How about you learn a few things about me now.” I suggest and he just shakes his head in response before taking a seat right next to me.“That will not be necessary. I know mo

Xena RemingtonWe walk down the stairs to eat dinner and I could tell Axel was a little angry about the part where I am going to get to decide how our love story goes. He really hates not being in control and somehow seeing him get so riled up made me very happy.Finally, for the first time ever, I am not the one who is fuming. I am going to ensure I make the most of it. Enjoy it thoroughly while it lasts.“Hello, Brother.” Axel groans loudly as soon as he hears Asher’s voice. Asher was sitting at the dining table with a huge grin on his face. I could see that he was sitting on the seat Axel usually sits on, making me laugh at how juvenile these brothers can be.“What are you doing here? I already talked to you once today. I do not want to see you again. Mrs. Costanza, why is Asher here?” Axel says as he smacks his brother on his head lightly before taking a seat in front of him.“Oh, I usually go to his place to have dinner with him, but today I wanted to have dinner with Xena so I a

Xena RemingtonAfter a long but silly “argument” between the two brothers, Asher finally left and I started feeling the nervousness sinking in. I hate how less Axel has told me about the sleeping arrangement but to be fair to him, I could’ve just asked. Sadly, I am too shy to confront Axel when it comes to such things, I get way too embarrassed as I get flashes from all the times Axel and I have had a moment.“Good night kids.” Mrs. Costanza yells as she walks towards her room and I just wave at her with a huge smile on my face.“So….” I start as we walk up the stairs and Axel looks at me, waiting for me to complete my sentence, “What is the plan….. For tomorrow?” I end up saying still not sure how to just ask him about the sleeping arrangement.“Same old. Also, I need to know what Norman Smith is up to. A lot of people are complaining about him. Do you remember the person I am talking about?” He asks me as we enter his room.“Yes, the guy you who has been misusing your name and bully
The Mafia And The HR Chapter Thirty
Xena Remington I walk hurriedly towards the elevator when I see the doors are about to close. Thankfully I make it, right before it shuts. I quickly push the 27th-floor button before going through the file labelled ‘NORMAN SMITH’. I have a habit of triple checking all the files that I hand to Axel as he is known for being a perfectionist and doesn’t really like mistakes. Thankfully, I haven’t made a mistake yet and I don’t intend to start today.It was 11 am and I was already exhausted. After sleeping at Axel's place last night, unfortunately, I had to go back to my place to get ready and wear my work clothes, and then rush to the office. But this physical exhaustion was nothing compared to my mental one because I couldn’t stop thinking about Axel.I hated how much time of my entire day I devoted to just daydreaming about Axel. But he seems so calm and collected all the time. It felt like he didn’t give two shits about the fact that we have made out, he has made me come or that I sle
The Mafia And The HR Chapter Thirty One
Xena RemingtonI fidgeted with my fingers as I looked outside the window, seeing the beautiful greenery all around me as we drove towards ‘The Lancaster Mansion’ which was known as the haunted house for most kids growing up.While growing up, my city was never safe. It was filled with small-time gangsters looting houses, kidnapping, murdering or selling drugs. Sometimes it got so bad that we were scared to even walk alone in daylight, knowing someone might attack us. But during this pandemonium, the name Arthur Lancaster started to appear in the papers. He had taken down all these small-time gangs and declared himself as the Alpha, which meant the whole country bowed down to him. Then suddenly, everything had become a lot more peaceful for the civilians and Arthur Lancaster issued a code of ethics for all the gangsters stating that they weren’t allowed to torture or take advantage of innocent civilians. Arthur Lancaster might be a villain in theory, but I remember the day I started s

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.

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.
