Ajax was sitting in his office and smoking a cigarette. He was looking outside the window and thinking something deeply. He was lost in Xenia's thoughts. The way she reacted last night he realized that something is wrong. He needs to find out what's the fucking matter. A few moments later someone knocked at the door catching Ajax's attention. Ajax permitted the person putting the remaining cigarette in the ashtray. " What's up, dude? You called me urgently," Victor asked entering the office and taking a sit in front of Ajax. Ajax answered," Victor, I need Xenia's call record as soon as possible."Victor raised his brow when Ajax continued saying sounding suspicious," Xenia isn't the main culprit behind my ruined wedding. There is someone else who used Xenia as a pawn. That person is threatening her to keep her mouth mum. That's why even after so many insults Xenia didn't open her mouth."" How can you be so sure about that?" Victor asked curiously. Ajax replied," Last night some u
Xenia's eyes grew wide like round potatoes after hearing him. She rolled her eyes all over him suspiciously. " Are you drunk?" Xenia asked. Ajax took a step forward while she took a step backward. Leaning close to her mouth he let out a breath. His breath was fresh. Xenia felt a chill feeling his hot breath fanning her lips. " I am not," Ajax responded huskily. Xenia asked suspiciously," Then, there must be some kind of ulterior motive of yours. That's why you want to take me on a date."" I am ordering you. You are still my personal entertainer. That means you are still my property. You will do whatever I command. You don't want me to date your nephew, right?" Ajax sounded dangerous. He patted Dimitri's head gently but Xenia understood the meaning behind his sarcastic words. She again cursed herself for messing up with this person." Fine. I will go with you," Xenia said. Ajax hummed," Ok. Let's go to your home now. Dropping your nephew in the house you will go on a date with m
Today Dany will be discharged from the hospital. Not before paying the hospital bill. As expected Xenia struggled to manage such a huge amount. She took a loan from the bank to pay the bills. " The bills are already paid," The receptionist informed Xenia. A confused expression appeared on Xenia's face. She blinked her eyes repeatedly to understand what the receptionist just said. " Ummm.....but how and when? I didn't pay a single penny yet," Xenia replied. The receptionist seemed uninterested in Xenia's words. She rolled her eyes at Xenia since she has clients lined up behind Xenia. " Move aside. I have other clients to look at. You can take your sister home," the receptionist said sounding annoyed. Xenia moved aside but she was confused as hell. Who paid the bills? Her relatives? Never in a million years. These people didn't bother to look at her family when they were starving and now they will pay the hospital bills for Dany. No way. " I owe you a thank you," A male voice sta
Xenia woke up from her sleep hearing the birds chirping sound. Letting out a long yawn she looked around only to find herself in Ajax's house. Rubbing her eyes she stood up hurriedly to leave this place. She turned red again remembering last night's passionate kiss. She didn't bother to look for Ajax because she knew he might have gone to the office. She didn't bother to freshen up since she will take a shower once she returns home. She was ready to leave when she noticed a small yellow paper on the table. It seemed like a note. Curiously she went near the table to see what was the note about. 'Breakfast is served at the table. Eat before leaving, angry bird.'A small smile formed at the corner of Xenia's lips seeing the note. She ran to the dining space and indeed food was served. Unknowingly, Xenia started chuckling. " Is he actually a sweet person or he is just pretending?" Xenia wondered. Her subconscious reminded her," Don't forget how he humiliated you and ruined your relati
" Mr. Hernandez, leave me. It's hurting. Please," Xenia requested twisting her right wrist which was held by Ajax with his iron grip. He snapped at her," Today I am gonna drill this thing in your mind that you are mine."Saying that he continued dragging her toward the bedroom. A few moments ago, they reached his penthouse. Xenia screamed the whole time in the car to let her return to her home but her screaming just went on deaf ears. Xenia lost her patience finally. Biting his hand she managed to free herself. Letting out a groaning sound he looked at her. His eyes were blazing like fire due to anger. So, was hers. She looked at him while rubbing her skin which had turned red with his fingerprints. "Yours for what? To torment? You admitted a few moments ago that you have moved on from your ex. Then, why are you still keeping me with you? Just move on from the whole damn matter. Let me live in peace," Xenia shouted angrily. Ajax asked raising one of his brows," Torment? Do you eve
A week later Xenia stirred in her sleep feeling sun rays in her eyes. Rubbing her eyes she sat back on the bed. She let out a long yawn and looked around in search of Ajax. He wasn't on the bed. Hearing the water running sound she realized that he was in the washroom. It's been a week since they are in an unofficial relationship. No one confesses their feelings to each other. They just enjoy being with each other. Specifically, Xenia has started thinking about Ajax differently. He cares for her and her feelings. She discovered that behind his rude mafia attitude a good man is hiding. Most importantly, he apologized to her for his behavior with her. It was the moment she realized that she shouldn't judge a person so early. It was a jaw-dropping moment for Xenia when Ajax came outside the shower. She gulped down nervously. He was looking way too sexy in his towel. Water droplets were flowing down his hard chest. His abs were on full display for her eyes. A few strands of his wet hai
Ajax reached his office where Victor was already waiting for him. Entering the office he lit a cigarette without giving any glance at Victor. " You are looking annoyed. Why? Xenia didn't let you fuck her," Victor joked like a jerk. Ajax glared at him," You seem more interested in my dick than other important matters. Just spit out what you have found."" Did you find anything suspicious in Xenia's call record?" Ajax asked becoming serious. Victor took a deep breath here indicating he had failed in his job. Ajax raised one of his brows noticing Victor's reaction put the remaining cigarette on the ashtray. " The authority didn't let me have Xenia's call records though I told them whom I work for," Victor replied making Ajax widen his eyes. Victor continued saying," Do you know what that means? It means someone powerful had threatened them to keep their mouth shut."" Someone powerful than me and my family?" Ajax asked sounding surprised. Victor started narrating his whole perspect
After three days It's been three days since Xenia broke up with Ajax. She thought finally she can breathe freely but nothing was going according to her thinking. She was missing Ajax. Every single second was feeling like years to her without him. She would check her phone often to see if he texted or not. Though she broke up in anger, one part of her was wanting him to convince her. A little part of her heart was expecting him to contact her and tell her that he can't live without her. " Wow! You will break up with him and also want him to roam behind you. Aren't you becoming greedy?" her subconscious mocked her. Xenia couldn't answer anything. She thought to concentrate on her work. She walked towards a table where a young couple was sitting. The girl was sitting on the boy's lap. They were looking at each other affectionately. They were so much in love that they didn't bother if other people were staring at them or not. Looking at them Xenia's mind again reminded her of Ajax. M
A few months laterAjax was staring at Xenia with admiration. She was sleeping on the hospital bed. A few moments ago she gave birth to their first child via C-section. The baby was a boy.The baby was placed beside his mother and sleeping peacefully. He was wrapped in a white towel. Automatically Ajax's hands caressed the infant's pink fluffy cheeks. Pulling a chair near the bed Ajax sat on it. He held Xenia's hand to which the IV cannula was connected. He kissed her knuckles. Xenia stirred in her sleep feeling the sudden touch. Slowly, she opened her eyes. Flickering her eyes for a few seconds she adjusted her vision with the sudden light. Ajax gave her a warm smile when their eyes met. " Hi," Ajax whispered. Unable to form other words. Xenia smiled back with great difficulty since her abdomen was paining. The doctor gave her enough medicine to subdue the pain but it did not vanish completely. " Our baby boy. Alex Hernandez," Xenia patted their son's head with affection. Her e
" No... No....open your mouth and drink it," Ajax insisted holding a glass of milk in front of Xenia. She was sitting on the couch caressing her six-month swollen belly.She sounded disgusted," Yuck! I hate that smell." She moved away her face in another direction. Ajax urged turning her face to him," The doctor suggested it. Drink it. I won't hear anymore."" You are treating me like a child," Xenia complained glaring at him.Ajax chuckled touching her nose playfully," You are a child."Having no other choices Xenia took the glass with one hand. She held her nose with another hand and chugged down the milk. She huffed in relief when the glass was empty. She felt the milk coming back upwards her throat again but she swallowed it with great difficulty.It's been six months since Xenia conceived. This news brought another kind of happiness in their lives but there was some anxiety as well. Xenia's pregnancy was risky and it may lead to miscarriage. However, Xenia and Ajax stood beside
" Oh, my God!! You are looking surreal!" Dany said excitedly looking at Xenia through the mirror. Xenia smiled shyly lowering her head. Dany stood behind and rested her hands on Xenia's shoulder. " Look at that glow on your face, Xeni. Looking gorgeous than ever," Dany complimented giving an affectionate kiss on Xenia's left cheek. Slowly, Xenia raised her head and glanced at the mirror. Dany was not saying lies. She was looking fabulous in her wedding gown. The light makeup on her face complimented her glowing skin tone and the tiara on her head was giving her a look of an actual princess. Xenia wondered how will Ajax react when he will see her. Xenia was a little bit nervous about her wedding. She was going to start a new journey with Ajax. She knew him for years but still, she was anxious. She was excited but at the same time, she was nervous. " Dany, I am nervous," Xenia sounded frightened. Dany let out," What? Not this time."" Just put on a smile and let's go. Your nervous
Opening her eyes the first thing Xenia asked was about her child. At first, the doctor hesitated to tell her the truth but eventually, he gave up. Xenia's heart was shattered into million pieces by the news. She just cried silently for the innocent soul. It didn't deserve such a fate. " I am sorry for whatever happened. I don't know why all these things are happening with you only," Dany let out a long sigh. Xenia did not know what to answer. She just remained silent staring at her lap. " How is Dimitri?" Xenia diverted the topic. Dany gave a short reply," Good."Xenia was talking to Dany but her mind was clouded with Ajax's thoughts. It's been hours since she gained her senses back but he hasn't come to meet her yet. She wondered where he was. Is he dealing with Diana? She already knows that Ajax's parents rescued them meaning that Diana is now in the clutch of Hernandezs. " Dany, where is Ajax?" Xenia questioned curiously. Dany responded," I don't know. Last time, I just saw
Xenia's whole body jolted up the moment a bullet pierced through her skin. Flickering her eyes she touched her belly with trembling hands. She looked downwards at her hands which were covered with blood. Her eyes stung with tears.She diverted her eyes at Ajax who was already staring back at her. Dropping the gun on the ground he collapsed on his knees. His eyes were fixed on her like he became a statue. There was no movement in him. He was way too stunned to react.Xenia felt her legs wobbly. Giving him a sad smile she collapsed on the floor holding her belly. An ear-piercing heart-wrenching scream left Ajax's mouth. Crawling at her he scooped half of her in his arms. Looking at his frightened eyes she let out a weak smile. " Don't leave me, please," Ajax requested sobbing.Xenia's breath hitched. Somehow she raised one of her blood-covered hands and caressed his cheeks. He pressed his hand on her hand letting out a bitter cry." You.....are.......an...amazing..person...... Thanks..
Ajax woke up from his sleep feeling a severe headache. The burning sensation in his eyes hasn't faded yet. He started hissing in pain. He tried to open his eyes but he couldn't. He tried to move his hands and that's when reality hit him hard. He was sitting in a chair and bound by ropes.Suddenly, someone splashed a bucket of water on his face and he was forced to open his eyes. Adjusting to the sudden light he looked forward and as expected the person in front of him was none other than Diana. She smirked looking at him. He took a fast-paced look at his surrounding. It was an unknown place surrounded by some masked men. They were Diana's people. Ajax's red eyes blazed with anger looking at her smirking face. He felt his hands itching to punch her face. He struggled to free himself but failed miserably. Diana let out the laughter of mockery." Tsk...tsk...tsk....," she mocked making his blood boil.Ajax asked calmly," Where are Xenia and Dimitri?"He might sound calm but the anger in
Xenia was sitting in a beauty salon closing her eyes. The beautician was doing her job. She was doing make-up on Xenia's face. Today is the happiest day in Xenia's life. She is going to be married to the love of her life, Ajax. She is happy but at the same time, she is sad. She is sad that her parents aren't here to witness her wedding and bless her. Xenia's make-up was done. Already she is glowing like the brightest star in the sky. Now, she just has to set her hair, put on the wedding gown and then she will be ready to go. " Xeni, you are looking beautiful," Dimitri commented munching on his chips. Well, he insisted to come with Xenia to see how make-up is done. In front of his tantrums, Xenia gave up and brought him with her." How much beautiful?" Xenia questioned letting out a chuckle. Dimitri replied honestly," You are looking like Elsa from frozen."Xenia nodded her head while laughing. Dimitri's innocence always touches her heart. She placed her hand on her belly having a
Entering the bedroom Ajax found Xenia sitting on an easy chair comfortably. She was enjoying her red wine. She smiled seeing Ajax who took a relaxed breath seeing her. Placing the glass on a nearby table she walked towards him." Why didn't you pick up my calls? Have you any idea how worried I was?" Ajax asked sounding concerned yet angry.Ajax is always worried about Xenia's safety though he hired enough guards for her. He is anxious about Diana. She had created enough havoc in Xenia and Ajax's lives. And, Ajax doesn't want Diana to continue. Xenia answered wrapping her arms around his neck," I was a bit busy with shooting."" No matter how much busy you are, try to pick up your phone. You scared me," Ajax caressed her cheeks. Xenia said excitedly," I want to show you something."Ajax raised his brow questioningly. An amused expression appeared on his face when she turned behind. Moving her hair to the right side she exposed her flawless back. Ajax let out an amused chuckle looking
" Fucking shitheads! I told you to kill Diana, not her innocent child!" Ajax shouted clutching his phone tightly. A male voice replied nervously," Boss, we are sorry. We targeted the wrong car. When we realized that Diana wasn't in the car, it was late already. Before we could do anything the bomb blasted and the baby died with its nanny."" Fuck!" Cursing under his breath Ajax cut the call. Ajax wanted to kill Diana for trying to sell Xenia to the human traffickers. He wanted to put a full stop to Diana but his people messed it up. Diana is alive which means she will try to harm Xenia or Ajax again. This time it will be more lethal since Diana's baby died in the bomb blast." That bitch will surely strike back. Gosh!" Ajax let out an irritated growl.Ajax's facial expression got changed feeling a pair of familiar hands wrapping around his body from behind. Xenia rested her head on his back. A chuckle left Ajax's mouth and he touched her hands gently." What happened? Whom are you c
