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.
Ajax reached his house where his parents were waiting for him. Entering the living room he found them sitting on the couch. He noticed Sapphire pouring drinks into Ceaser's glass. Sensing Ajax's presence Sapphire glared at him and took a sip from her glass. Placing the glass on the table she stood up. Keeping her eyes straight at him she took slow steps. Ajax knew what his mother was going to say. So, he did not seem bothered by her intimidating aura. " What was the emergency that you left your bride on the aisle?" Sapphire questioned, sounding annoyed. " I am not an 8-year-old who has to report everything to his Mama," Ajax answered sarcastically. He was done with his mother's interference in his life. This time Ceaser interrupted. Taking a long sip he mocked," You might have gone to your handicapped girlfriend."" She isn't handicapped," Ajax shouted at his father. Ceaser chuckled," Whatever!"Ajax felt someone's strong grip on his upper arm. It was none other than his mother.
Daisy was tied to a chair with ropes. Her face was covered with a black cloth. She was struggling to free herself but nothing was working. She tried to scream but failed miserably. Except for the muffling sound, nothing could be heard. The sudden light almost blinded her when the black cloth was removed from her face. She blinked her eyes repeatedly to adjust to this sudden light. She widened her eyes seeing Ajax standing in front of her. " Why did you ruin my wedding?" Ajax questioned calmly. Daisy almost peed in her pants at Ajax's question but she tried to act clueless like she doesn't know anything. " What the fuck are you talking about? Why would I ruin your wedding?" Daisy questioned back.Ajax never raised his hands on women. So, he ordered one of his female guards to blow Daisy's face. Daisy crooked in pain when a harsh punch landed on her face. " I will spare you considering our friendship if you tell me the truth," Ajax reminded Daisy. Daisy again refused to confess. H
" Ms. Evans is recovering so fast," The doctor said professionally, looking at Xenia's medical reports. Ajax smiled at Xenia. He was holding her hand in a tight grip. He kissed her hand after hearing the doctor. " What about her hip bone? She still feels pain," Ajax asked the doctor, sounding concerned. The doctor started explaining the reason behind this pain. Ajax was hearing the doctor carefully but Xenia's whole concentration was on Ajax. She felt her eyes getting teary seeing Ajax's concern for her. Dany has already told her how Ajax has been with Xenia when she was in a coma. Xenia considers herself lucky to have someone like Ajax in her life. She will always be grateful to God for giving her someone so caring as Ajax. Xenia returned to reality when someone snapped his fingers in front of her. It was none other than Ajax. " Where are you looking, sweetie?" Ajax asked, smiling. Xenia smiled back nodding her head. After consulting the doctor, they left the hospital. They fo
Xenia was looking outside through the cab window. Her eyes were blurred with tears, her cheeks were red and she was sniffling. Taking the phone in her hand she dialled Ajax's number but as expected his phone was switched off. Xenia was wondering what happened to him suddenly. Is he alright? Different types of thinking were clouding her mind. A few hours ago she reached 'X' city. From the airport, she directly went to Ajax's penthouse but he wasn't there. Then, she went to his office. He wasn't there either. She tried to talk to his employees but they were not interested in giving her any information about Ajax. Getting annoyed by all this she decided to go to Ajax's house. She knew that she won't be welcomed there as Ajax's parents don't like her but she doesn't care. She just hopes Ajax is fine. " Why aren't you contacting me, Ajax? Did you forget me already?" Xenia whispered taking a deep breath. She was shedding silent tears when something caught her eyes. She noticed that a b
Xenia was sitting on the floor near her bed. Her gloomy eyes were glued to the gloomy sky. It will be raining soon. Taking a deep breath she pulled her legs close to her chest hugging them. Burying her face on her knees she burst into hysterical sobbing. It's been a week since she got to know about Ajax's marriage. After knowing this her whole world collapsed right in front of her. Her dreams were shattered into million pieces. The excruciating pain in her heart was killing her slowly. Emotionally she was drained out. Mentally she was disturbed. This pain of betrayal was unbearable. She was still in a daze. Did he really betray her? For the past six months, he was beside her like a devoted partner. He took care of her, loved her, and made her feel special. Was everything fake? It was hard to believe for Xenia. What was the truth? The person she knew or the person she just got to know about last week. She was baffled. Her phone started ringing suddenly which brought her back to rea
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
