“The procedure was a success!” Horacio chuckled, patting the back of Halle’s palm as he took a step away from the bed.His words made Halle realize just how much of an idiot she had been the whole time!The symptoms were right there and it was all very obvious but yet she didn’t even realize it until Horacio said it to her face, or maybe she did but she was just too scared to admit it.She’s pregnant. Halle turned to the man who was seated next to her, her other hand was in his grasp and his eyes bored deep in to hers like they belonged there. It just felt so right.In his eyes were countless emotions that Halle couldn’t identify but she’s knew that the gentleness in those eyes of his made her knees weak although she was not standing.“it worked,” Xavier said in a low voice, “And you’re sure it worked?” He shifted his almost uncertain gaze to the doctor who was now standing over them at the edge of the bed. “Come on Xavier,” Horacio rolled his eyes as he patted the man’s sho

Everything?Halle exhaled softly and laughed, “Sometimes you’re so intense that it is scary,” Halle voiced out, she knew he could hear the honesty in her voice. He didn’t pull away, instead he got closer and she could feel his lips stretch into a smile in the crook of her neck.“I’m intense?” Halle’s skin broke out in goosebumps from the feel of his warm breath against the soft hairs of her neck. With the knife tightly clutched in her grasp, Halle leaned in to his touch not bothering to hide just how goon it made her feel.“I have always had a passion for cooking,” She began, a small whimper escaping her throat when she felt the tip of his wet tongue against her skin.Hearing grown into her neck made her insides clench tightly, she resisted the urge to drop everything she was doing and just turn around because she knew that would be the end of her cooking.“Really?” He muttered, “Tell me more,” He urged as his hands left her lower belly and drifted down to her thighs, pressing

“I thought your mother supported your dreams?”“People change,” Halle replied as she added beef to her mix and then along with the seasoning that Tabitha had told her were the best in the continent.“Why were you so eager to leave your country?”“For a better life,” She said, she wasn’t lying but she was not telling the full truth either.The silence between them stretched for what seemed like hours but it was for only a few minutes.Halle’s stomach growled loudly as the mouth watering aroma of the food drifted into her nostrils.She could feel like eyes on her as she worked, Halle had not cooked in front of anyone for a really long time, doing it now and talking about her life was kind of therapeutic. She was more relaxed in a kitchen that she’s been in a really long time and her mother’s voice wasn’t reminding her of how much of a failure she would turn out to be as she cooked.Her mother’s voice wasn’t controlling her every movement.It hadn’t been for a while now.“Why di

Halle took a deep breath as she glanced at herself in the mirror, her hand gently resting on her small baby bump. Two months pregnant, and on the verge of an extraordinary milestone in her life. The day of her graduation was finally here. Mixed emotions swirled within her as she thought about the journey she had embarked on to reach where she was currently, it was one filled with ups and downs and one that brought tears to her eyes as she thought about it.Living in the Stone mansion, Halle’s life was anything but a fairytale contrary to what others at school thought whenever she told them where she lived, they were all under the impression that she was the Stone family’s living in house keeper and Halle did not mind leaving it that way for now. However, the impending responsibilities of motherhood and the uncertainties that came with it had left her feeling vulnerable. Most especially because Xavier was not here today. He had gin on another unsanctioned and unexplained trip to Italy,

He had on a grey sweater and matching sweatpants to go with it, gold rimmed glasses rested on his nose and on his pale pink lips, a warm smile. His eyes looked tired but they were bright with emotion, his smile spread the longer Halle stared at him in surprise. “You came,” Halle said in a low voice, Monty started the engines and the car began to move. “I wouldn’t miss it,” He said, reaching out to caress her cheeks and smiling with content, “I missed you,” He said, leaning in and planting a soft kiss on her lips. Halle sighed, relaxing into his touch and giving him full control of the kiss, then she smiled against his lips and pushed against his thigh to hold herself up. “When did you get here?” She asked after pulling away, still slightly surprised that he was there, in the car with her. Halle hadn’t seen him in over three weeks, they had woken up one morning and the next thing Halle knew, the guys were all in the mansion with grim expressions on their faces. Stanley had stood
Last Updated : 2023-07-13Xavier's Surrogate SOMETHING HAPPEN?
Pregnancy was a different ball game and not at all what Halle expected she would experience.On getting home to the Stone Manor, her mouth watered for a fruit she hadn’t even seen yet, orange…or was it a pineapple?All she knew was that she could smell it.Xavier didn’t need any support to walk, or at least he was trying to make it seem that way, each time their eyes meet, he would hold her gaze with his magnetic stare and then give her a smile one that melted Halle like fucking plastic in flames.“If you keep staring at me like that we might end up in my bedroom in a few seconds,”Halle’s cheeks heated up and she turned away with embarrassment, Month was literally right next to them as they were walking into the house, why was he talking about bedrooms and whatnot.Halle cleared her throat and tried to maintain a passive expression, “I wasn’t looking at you, narcissist!” she accused and walked past him and Monty to prevent her embarrassment from spreading even further.She ro

As Skyler made a hasty exit from the kitchen, Halle couldn’t help but feel a pang of curiosity mixed with confusion. Something had transpired between Xavier and Skyler, and she wondered what it could be. However, Xavier’s attention quickly shifted back to her, and all other thoughts dissipated as he approached the table with a slight smile on his face.Once Tabitha was done placing the dishes on the table, she left the kitchen with Collette quietly. Halle wanted to ask them to stay for dinner but she knew the girls wouldn’t be comfortable eating with their boss. Not everyone can be like Halle. “Seems like we have the kitchen all to ourselves,” Xavier remarked, pulling out a chair next to Halle. “Mind if I join you?”Halle’s heart fluttered at his proximity and the intimate setting. “Of course not,” she replied, a hint of excitement lacing her words. She watched as Xavier took a seat and reached for a plate, filling it with a generous portion of the dishes Tabitha had prepared.The a

Xavier's Surrogate FIRST TIME
“Do I really need to be blindfolded for this?” Halle asked with a warm chuckle. Xavier just grinned mysteriously in response, guiding her by the shoulders through what sounded like a set of heavy doors given the echo. “Patience, Flower. I promise, it’s worth the surprise,” he assured her, amusement and excitement dancing in his tone. Halle smiled and cooperated as he led her slowly ahead a few more steps. Her heart swelled, trusting Xavier so completely even when she couldn’t see. After everything they had endured, Halle knew without doubt he would never lead her anywhere dangerous again. “Just a little further,” Xavier coached. “Watch your step.” His sturdy hands on her waist aided Halle in navigating what felt like a small staircase. A few more shuffling paces forward and they finally halted. Halle quivered in anticipation. “Can I look now?” “One moment…” She heard the smile in Xavier’s voice just before he moved behind her and untied the blindfold at last. “Now you can open your
Xavier's Surrogate REVENGE
When Halle awoke late one night from another vivid episode of panic, Xavier recognized a shift had finally occurred. He gathered her quaking frame close while she wept, exhausted and heart sore. “Shh I have you, just breathe,” he soothed until the tension slowly left her muscles. Halle clung to him like an anchor amidst stormy waters even once fully awake. “I’m scared, Xavier,” she admitted in a small voice once sufficiently calmed. “Scared she’ll find us again.” Xavier steeled himself before answering gently. “Then it’s time I put real end to this. For your peace of mind, and our son’s future.” Halle’s arms tightened around him briefly at the implication. But she simply nodded bravely when she pulled back. “Just promise me you’ll come back safely. I can’t lose you.” Her palm cupped his bearded cheek with profound tenderness. Turning his head, Xavier pressed a kiss into her open palm. “I will always come back to you Halle,” he avowed passionately. His piercing gaze bore into hers,
Xavier's Surrogate THE THREAT
Xavier paused in the open doorway, gazing at the scene before him – Halle curled protectively around their three week old son as he nursed, her expression tired but content, Damien was at the edge of the bed, curiously watching and asking questions, his wide eyes innocent and childlike, just like it ought to be. Xavier’s heart swelled at the simple domestic sight, still scarcely able to believe he had nearly lost them forever.Halle had begged for Damien to be close, so the second they left Halle’s birth country in Africa, he had Monty bring the young boy out from hiding and back with them, where he belonged. After Halle had been safely recovered and gave birth, Xavier wasted no time whisking her away to a secluded estate where they could focus solely on healing without fear of Martha’s lingering reach. And healing was no small feat after the trauma Halle had endured. Though her physical wounds were minimal, the psychological toll left lasting scars.She was plagued regularly by v
Xavier's Surrogate PEACE
Halle drifted slowly up towards consciousness, clinging to the last visages of a dream where she was enveloped in tender warmth and comforting strength. Even semi-conscious, she instinctively recognized the sensations cocooning her now were real, not imagined. But after endless days and nights of torment, believing rescue could only manifest as a fantasy, Halle desperately avoided opening her eyes fully. What if this beautiful illusion shattered the instant she woke up? The possibility made her heart seize with renewed panic.No - the arms cradling her were solid, the scent of juniper and fresh rain surrounding her unmistakably Xavier’s. This precious peace was real, it had to be. Halle focused on steadying her breaths, mentally grasping for fragments of memory through the haze still clouding her thoughts. Flashes filtered back now – the frantic escape attempt, searing contractions hitting, Xavier appearing through her delirium of pain like a saving vision…the sweet sound of her chi
Xavier's Surrogate COUNTRY
A FEW HOURS EARLIER… The scorching sun beat down as Xavier surveyed the sprawling, dusty streets from the backseat of the nondescript sedan. It had taken tremendous resources and calling in more favors than he could count to get boots on the ground in this remote country so quickly. But nothing could deter him from his mission – finding Martha and making her pay for taking Halle.Taking the woman he loved and then sending him papers to sign while at it. Xavier gritted his testy as he thought about the phone call he had gotten from his aunt, she’d sent papers to his mail…asking him to sign over everything to her, that was her endgame. If she couldn’t get it from Damien as she’d originally intended, she’d get it directly from the man himself. Xavier had agreed to her deal but…he wasn’t really going to sign those paper. Stone was his legacy and he’ll be damned if he let’s and overly ambitious bitch take over and ruin everything he’s built. His mind wandered inevitably to images of h
Xavier's Surrogate SOMEWHERE SAFE
Too spent to argue, Halle permitted him to gently help her ease down onto the padded nest now warming her chilled legs. Though hardly ideal accommodations, at least she was off the frigid concrete floor. Monty seemed satisfied with his efforts.“I must inform the Don that you have been found before he burns the brothel down,” he announced. Before Halle could wrap her mind around the significance of his deliberate phrasing, Monty had disappeared back down the cellar corridor with a final instruction tossed over his shoulder – “Try to focus your energies, I will be back as fast as I can.”Xavier…was here, for her. Halle couldn’t hold back her relieve tears but of course that feeling was short lived. Then Halle was alone again with her body’s urgent demands. She closed her eyes, trying futilely to center her wild thoughts through the intensifying contractions. But it was impossible to find any inner calm or fortitude. Not with her heart pounding anew wondering how much longer until
Xavier's Surrogate THE BIRTH
Halle’s heart hammered violently in her chest as the first contraction seized her swollen belly. There was no denying it now – the terror and physical exertion of her escape attempt had triggered full blown labor. Her child was coming, ready or not, even as Martha’s henchmen battered viciously to break in.“Shit!” Halle cursed under her breath as she held her belly, the pain hitting her unexpectedly and making her whole body sway and her legs shake. Leaning heavily on the dusty desk, Halle fought to stay upright and quiet through the painful tightening. But despite clenching her jaw, a low moan still escaped through her gritted teeth. The dampness soaking her dress kept spreading. “Why are you so impatient…” Halle cursed through gritted teeth, trying her best to stay up right so as to prevent any complications. From down the cellar corridor came another resounding crack – the stubborn old door’s hinges were splintering rapidly under the men’s force. In mere minutes they would be
Xavier's Surrogate THE BABY
Halle awoke with a gasp, her heart already racing. Today was the day – the day she would finally attempt her escape from this nightmare. She lay still for a moment, focusing on slowing her breathing and gathering her courage. The gloom shrouded the cramped room, but Halle’s eyes discerned the packed bag hidden beneath her cot containing the supplies she had managed to secretly squirrel away over the past week. The last week had been utter torment, forcing herself to endure her mother’s assaults and the groping hands of repulsive men trying to lay claim to her while pretending total resignation. More than once she had nearly faltered, the will to fight slowly being crushed out of her. But she would gently caress the swell of her belly. She could not – would not – let this place and its monsters claim another child if there was any hope of escape.Moving slowly to avoid any sounds of creaking, Halle eased herself up to sit on the edge of the mattress. Her heavy, cumbersome belly m
Xavier's Surrogate SILENCE
The days dragged by in agonizing torture as Halle remained trapped in her personal hell. Time ceased to hold meaning within the dingy confines of the small room that had been hers as a teenager under her mother’s cruel control. The peeling walls oozed with memories of past suffering, the very air thick with hopelessness.And now, heavy with her unborn child, Halle felt more trapped than ever. Her mother’s daily visits always ended with fresh bruises blossoming on her skin, dark reminders of her powerlessness. When not enduring her mother’s rage, Halle spent the empty hours curled miserably on the cot, arms wrapped around her belly as if to shield the precious life within from the darkness pressing in around them.On the fifth night, Halle lay tense and sleepless, every creak of the old brothel putting her nerves on edge. She stared dry-eyed into the gloom, too weary even for tears. The baby’s steady kicks were her only comfort.When the familiar scrape of the main door opening reached
