Xavier's Surrogate NO RESPONSE
Dark. It was so dark, her eyes felt heavy and it was hard to breathe. Halle couldn’t tell if she was alive or dead. All she heard was Martha's voice echoing in her head over and over again and it only served to remind her just how disposable she was to the Stone family. Halle felt cold, then she felt the urge to cry. She was feeling a little of thing at that moment and lastly she wondered, would Xavier find her before it is too late? Or would she end up dying in front of that library door. This wouldn’t be such a bad way to die, she’s already achieved what her mother swore she wouldn’t, graduated and somehow had her name written in the records of a big university. That was more than she ever imagined her life would amount to. Maybe this would be the best way to go. While the darkness took her deeper and deeper into its unexplored depths, Halle wondered why she had to die when she had only just started her life. Being with him felt like a second chance, starting over on s
Xavier's Surrogate HYPOCRITE
Halle quickly got to work, she brought out his favorite cotton pants and hoodie. Then she stripped him of the clothes he had worn earlier in the morning. The pants were harder to take off because they were wet so she had to use the scissor in his bedside drawer to cut it off. She listened for his heart best every twenty seconds as she dressed him up. Too disoriented to focus on anything other than his health and warmth. Maybe not too disoriented. At some point her hands had lingered on his abs, loving how the ridges felt under her palm but of course no one needed to know that. Once he was in completely dry clothes, Halle began to strip as well, she put on one of his shirts and paired it with a dark blue underwear that also belonged to Xavier, her fingers lingering on the baby bump that was beginning to show. The reality of her situation glaringly unsettling. “Flower…” He rasped out weakly, Halle immediately ran to his side and held his outstretched hand in hers. His eyes were only
Xavier's Surrogate DAMIEN
Andrea had moved into Stone Manor with Damien a little over a week. In that one week that she stayed away, Xavier and Martha were not on good terms with each other and Martha’s constant and loud reprimanding tone could be heard from the library close to Halle’s room. Xavier’s health had deteriorated but the man refused to let it brings him to his knees, he worked even harder and every night tried to convince Halle to move in to his room. Tonight was no different and just like every other night… “Nope, I’m good,” Halle raised her hands in mock surrender and shook her head. Rejecting his request yet again. Halle wondered if it was safe to keep having sex with him with the amount of warnings Horacio had given them but Xavier didn’t seem to be affected or even care. Another reason why Halle suspected that the illness he had has nothing to do with leukemia. She hasn’t dared voice her suspicion to anyone though, the tension at the manor has been high in the past few days and it always
Xavier's Surrogate JUST IN CASE
Of course, it made sense that his mother would come with him, Halle knew Andrea would definitely try to make a big deal of things if Xavier informed her that he wanted to spend some time with his some and Halle without her disdainful supervision. Her first answer would probably be no and once she tells the little boy no, he would cave out of fear and agree with anything his mother says to him. While Halle and Tabitha moved a few of her things into Xavier’s room as per his request and the deal they both made, Xavier was talking to Andrea about going out to shop the next day. Halle didn’t feel comfortable leaving the two of them alone but she tried hard not to let her jealousy control her. While she folded things into her bag, her mind filled with different thoughts of things she knew wouldn’t happen, Tabitha snorted while Collette who was at the far end of the room did the same. “She’s so full of herself!” Tabitha complained, “She’s only been here for two days but she has succe
Xavier's Surrogate CONTROL
Halle has never doubted the loyalty of the men that surrounded Xavier because he picked them as his Capo whatever and he wasn’t stupid. The man was way smarter than he let on and Halle knew that if someone was being disloyal to him, he would have sniffed it out by now. This wasn’t even her problem! Or maybe it was. “I think I need a real long sleep…my brain is proactive with its paranoia and it is exhausting!” Tabitha chuckled and patted Halle’s head, “This is why I am never having kids,” Tabitha said and then cleared her throat as her cheeks turned a dark shade of pink, “Well unless Monty decides he wants kids,”Halle shook with laughter. Tabitha was hopelessly in love with the guy despite her denying it many times and saying she only wanted him for his dick. Lies. Now she was thinking about having kids with him. While of course, unbeknownst to the rest of them in the house, Monty has a huge crush on Martha or maybe it was more than a crush to him. Halle had notic
Xavier's Surrogate EMERGENCY
The next morning, Halle wished she didn’t dredge what was to come but the emotions she felt were a mix of apprehension and excitement. She was the first to wake up despite being the last person to fall asleep. After doing all that he had promised to her…deliciously so, Halle felt strangely energetic and her eyes stayed open even a few hours after he had fallen asleep. Xavier stirred beside her, maybe he felt the little movements that she made as she tried to get off the bed with wanting him to wake up. He groaned low in his throat and his arm rested on her lower belly, caressing her baby bump with a contented sigh. As the morning light streamed through the curtains, Halle turned to face Xavier, her eyes glowing with affection. "Good morning, Xavier," she replied softly, leaning in to give him a gentle kiss. "Did you sleep well?"Xavier nodded with a smile, his fingers tracing delicate patterns on Halle's belle. "I did, thanks to you and certain activities that occurred last nig
Xavier's Surrogate LIKE A MOTHER
Tabitha blew out a heavy breath as she started down at her feet. Not meeting Halle’s eyes. If they didn’t want her to worry or suspect anything, they should at least act like nothing was going on. “Are you okay?” Halle asked as she pulled on her clothes properly and began to decide on how to style her hair. “Yes…I…I’m just, a bit shaken,” Tabitha said as she forced a weak smile and rubbed her palms against the sides of the apron over her clothes, they left a wet patch. They were sweaty. “What’s gotten you so shaken up?” Halle lifted a brow in question, “Who was on the phone?” Halle asked, a feeling of dread mixed with her former excitement settling in her stomach and creating a rather unsettling feeling that she didn’t enjoy in any way. “I…it was Monty,” Tabitha cleared her throat, “The Delgado family seems to have made their move already,”Halle shook her head in confusion, “I still don’t really understand this Delgado business…does the Stone family owe them something?”
Xavier's Surrogate FOR DAMIEN
Halle reluctantly sat down at the breakfast table with Andrea, trying her best to maintain composure despite the woman’s rude demeanor. The atmosphere was tense as they began to eat, and Andrea wasted no time in making snide remarks.“It has been baffling me how a woman like is the reason why Xavier has been acting so cold towards me and what baffles me even more is fact that you are still in this house and this family,” Andrea sneered.Halle took a deep breath, reminding herself not to let Andrea’s comments get to her. “I’m here because Xavier wants me to be and because I am obliged to be here as well. I’m practically family now,” Halle replied calmly.Andrea rolled her eyes. “Family, huh? You think you’re so important just because you’re pregnant with Xavier’s child. Trust me, you’re just a passing phase, and once he gets over this infatuation, you’ll be long gone.”Halle felt a pang of hurt at Andrea’s words but refused to show it. Last thing she wanted was for young Damien to get
