XENIA "This isn't right Vin, you can't continue to treat me like that," I said slowly, raising my eyes to meet his unconcerned gaze. "I deserve to be loved genuinely, respected, and appreciated as well. You need to stop treating me with such disrespect." My voice rose a pitch higher as I talk.At first, it wasn't always like this... "This wasn't how we started you know that. What's the rea..." "There's no reason Xenia. Come on, we've talked about this before. Stop expecting total commitment from me, I'm a man... a hot-blooded male at that!" "Then I guess you aren't a real man," "What did you say?" He challenged. "I'm pretty sure you heard me, Vin." I dared, crossing my arms beneath my chest. "No real man would act or treat a woman the way you treat me. If you want to be addressed as a real man, you should learn to control yourself. For goodness sake, have some respect for yourself, Vin!" "Look Xenia," he pushed his hand through his curly dark hair as his gaze lingered towards

XENIA *Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport* "Oh Louie, you worry too much. This ain't no biggie so chill, it would have to wait." I chuckle as I walked out of the airport, pulling my luggage behind. I'm on the phone with my manager. "Nah, that's not necessary Louie... Yes. I just walked out of the airport now...yeah, that's right. I'm waiting for my Uber now. Ah okay...I see him...I see him. I'll text you when I get to my new apartment, okay? Yeah, it was a wonderful flight, thank you very much. Of course. See you... yeah." I paused on my strides, inhaling sharply as I took a moment to briefly glance over my surroundings. Smiling brightly, I ran a hand to smoothen my straying black curls, loving how the reflection of the morning sun was on my tan skin. Truly refreshing to be here once more. With only a glance, I'm able to decipher that a lot has changed since the last time I was here five years ago.Well Atlanta, I'm back! However, I'm no longer the average Xenia

To Remember Her /Queenes

XENIA'S POV "We're here, Ms." I raise my gaze from my phone and smile at the Uber driver while he guides the car into the condo's parking lot. "Oh, that was really fast," I said. "Thanks for your service, Mr Cooper." *Hey Jayden I'm in town now.* I quickly send a text to my friend. "It's a pleasure to serve you, Ms Winston." The driver responds with a warm smile as he pulls over at a spot. I open the car door and step outside, briefly surveying the environment of my new home. Uhm not bad... Mr Cooper helps take my luggage out of the car's boot and offers to take it to my apartment but I politely decline. "No don't worry, I'd handle it." I smile. "Alright, Ms." He pauses briefly, "Actually, Mr youngest daughter is a fan of yours and she uses your hair care products and I must admit that these products have been of great help to her. Her hair keeps growing longer and healthier. Thanks for an amazing discovery of the black women's hair care formula." "Oh my, oh my," I'm so ple

3. Boo-hoo

To Remember Her /Queenes

XENIA'S POV "Here," Jayden hands me a water bottle the moment I step down the treadmill. "Thank you," I wink playfully at him before taking a large gulp of water down my throat. "Ahhh, that was refreshing." I grin as I wipe beads of sweat off my face. I could see our reflection in one of the vast studio mirrors. "Still as consistent as ever I see," he chuckles, leaning against a wall. "My yeah," I smile as I glance around the big studio again. "I'm impressed by how well you accomplished your dreams within five years buddy." Turning back to look at him, I playfully nudge his side. "You're now a big name in Atlanta, just like I have always known you would be," I said and he smiles. "While I was away, I heard this gym's renowned as many celebrities' favorite and that you're very famous amongst the female celebrities in Atlanta, not only as a fitness coach -- you know, something more," I give him a knowing look and Jayden burst out laughing so hard. "Yes bud, you know the dri

To Remember Her /Queenes

VIN'S POV "Annalisa!" I called, hurrying after her down the entrance and exit hallway of the manor. "Get lost," she spat, not bothering to slow down or spare me a moment. My eyes darkened instantly and I could feel my blood boiling within me__how dare her! Within seconds, I covered the distance between us, grabbing her hand just as she made to walk out the door. "Let go!" She hissed, struggling to free her hand from my grip. "YOU'RE coming WITH ME!" I said through gritted teeth. And despite her protests, I pulled her along with me until we got to my room upstairs and I shut the door afterward. "What the fuck do you think you're doing, Vin?" She queried, her voice a pitch higher as she glared at me. "You tell me, what does it look like to you?" My voice didn't conceal my anger as I spoke, making sure I meet her gaze. A few seconds later I released her hand and ran mine through my dark hair. "Why would you take pleasure in disrespecting my parents in my pre
