Ajax reached the movie set where Xenia was getting ready for the shoot. He wanted to surprise her so he hid behind a long curtain. Xenia's manager saw him and wanted to inform her about his presence but he signaled him to keep his mouth mum." I am looking terrible," Xenia laughed looking at her reflection in the mirror. She was wearing a torn shirt and a short. It was a scene about survival. Her face was covered with fake blood and fake bruises. Somehow Xenia felt her look funny. She has no idea that someone was grinning while looking at her. " Your smile is something that soothes my heart," Ajax whispered. After that Xenia went to the shooting spot and the director announced action. Xenia started running on a bridge having a terrified expression. Ajax was amazed and proud to see her extraordinary acting skill. As a first-timer, she was doing great. Ajax's face fell when she was grabbed by her co-actor. He grabbed Xenia by her waist and there was a romantic connection between the
Xenia stirred in her sleep hearing the birds chirping outside. Rubbing her eyes she woke up and sat on her butt. A painful yelp left her mouth feeling the pain between her legs. She clicked her tongue recalling last night's incident. Ajax was harsh last night. " Are you sore?" Ajax's deep intimidating voice reached her ears. He was sitting on the couch only in his boxer. He was munching on an apple fixing his gaze on her shy face. His sweaty body was indicating he just returned from the gym. " You were harsh last night though I apologized," Xenia replied meekly. Finishing the apple he stood up from the couch and walked towards her taking slow predatory moves. Xenia pulled the duvet to her neck since she was still naked. He sat right in front of her and raised her face with his thumb and index finger. Xenia's lips quivered feeling his hot breath fanning her skin. " Would you mind if I take care of you?" Ajax asked huskily. Xenia nodded her head in the negative. She bit her lips n
Ajax and Xenia were walking inside a garden holding each other's hands. A few days ago Ajax bought this garden for Xenia. She was scrolling down on Facebook when she noticed a picture of this garden in her newsfeed. She just said she wished to have a garden like this one. And that's it. Ajax bought this garden for her. He was waiting for the moment when she will be able to trust him completely and reveal who used her as a pawn to ruin his wedding. He promised her that he will give her whatever she wants. He kept his promise. Xenia was amused to see his concern for her feelings. She never thought she will have someone in her life like Ajax. Sometimes she compares Ronald with Ajax. She doesn't want to compare but it just naturally comes. And, she feels like she is much happier with Ajax than she was with Ronald. " Let's get married, Xenia," Ajax said. Xenia replied chuckling," It's been only a few months since we are together."" Don't you love me?" Ajax asked halting. She replied h
Reaching the hospital Ajax found Dany and Dimitri standing in front of the ICU. Seeing them crying, Ajax felt his whole body trembling slightly due to sudden fear. With every step, he felt his blood turning cold. He was afraid to see what was coming next. He isn't ready to see Xenia on the hospital bed. For the first time in his life, he was scared to lose someone. For the first time, he was feeling his heart twisting inside his chest for someone. For the first time, he was feeling a lot of emotions that he never felt before. He felt his heart palpitating rapidly. " How did all this happen?" Ajax asked Dany with great difficulty. Dany couldn't answer for the first few seconds. She kept crying continuously and picked up Dimitri. " I asked you something," Ajax demanded an answer. Finally, Dany opened her mouth looking at Ajax's pale and petrified face. Dany replied," She was returning from the set when this accident occurred. Doctors confirmed that she has fractured her hip bone a
Six months later " You have grown up your hair, love," Ajax said pouring water on Xenia's hair gently. Putting some shampoo on her hair he started massaging her head slowly. His fingers went inside her hair and he brushed his fingers in a circular motion. " You are looking adorable with your long hair," Ajax complimented but there was no response from Xenia. A long sigh left his mouth seeing her silent. It's not the first time she didn't respond to him. It's been six months since she is in a coma. For the first few months, she was in the hospital but later Ajax brought her back to his penthouse. He hired a professional doctor, a full-time nurse, and maids for Xenia. Apart from them he takes care of her personally. He sleeps on the same bed as her. Without hugging her possessively he can't even close his eyes. He baths her with his own hands, washes her hair with his own hands, and talks to her all the time. He is still hopeful that today or tomorrow she will open her eyes and ta
It was complete silence for some time in the Hernandez household when the Sullivan family left. It was silence before the storm. Ajax's parents were sitting in front of him on a couch. He was having questioning and disbelief expression on his face. Ajax's parents shared unexplainable eye contact noticing him. " You guys fixed my marriage but didn't even feel the necessity to ask me!" Ajax shouted. Finally, Ajax's anger burst out like a volcano. Standing up from the couch he glared at his parents while shaking with fury. Sapphire replied," We are your parents and we know what's good for you."Her voice was calm but she knew that her words weren't enough to convince Ajax. She stood up noticing him taking slow steps at her. " Without my permission how can you fix my marriage to any random girl?" Ajax questioned his mother. Ceaser seethed back," Just like we bring you into this world without your permission."Ajax glared at his father who was looking annoyed by his outburst. Taking
A week later Ajax was standing in front of the mirror wearing his expensive suit. He was getting ready for the marriage. As usual, he was looking handsome but there was no happiness on his face. His eyes were dull, void of any emotions. He was looking calm but a horrendous storm was shattering everything inside him. " I am going to betray her!" Ajax mumbled pulling his hair behind. He took a deep breath imagining the upcoming incident. He is going to tie the knot with an unknown girl. " I am sorry, Xenia. For the second time, I am going to break the promises I made to you. I am so sorry," Ajax thought mentally. Ajax agreed with his parents about this marriage for now. His parents managed to convince him about this marriage but he is no less than them. He will never accept this marriage. He is planning to be a complete asshole to his wife so that she can leave him willingly. Maybe this girl Serena is innocent but except for this way, he has no other way left. " Are you done, Ajax
" This ring? I didn't see it before," she asked holding his fingers. Xenia waited for an answer from Ajax but he didn't respond. How can he respond to her? How can he tell her that he has broken his promises to her? He gulped down nervously looking at her curious stares. The doctor suggested him not to stress her out. This sudden news can be lethal for Xenia's health. Ajax decided to not tell her anything right now. Let her rest for some days and then he will tell her. This is not the right time. Ajax believes that she will understand his perspective. He believes that she won't misunderstand him. " Umm... It's a prank. I mean I went to one of my cousin's wedding where we pranked each other. It's nothing serious," Ajax replied sounding nervous. Putting off the ring he took it inside his pocket hurriedly. He licked his dry lips looking down like he was guilty of something. Xenia observed him closely. Though she wanted to believe him, his body language was indicating something else.
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
