Xander's P.O.V.That night, he was lost between visiting Suzan just as his family members advised him, or going to see Lizzy, his ex-wife.Lizzy, who had previously called him in the afternoon when he was in the middle of an important discussion with his family members, told him to come over to her home, because Mia, their daughter, requested to see him.On the other hand, he was also supposed to meet with Suzan, so that they would talk things out to restore their shaking relationship.Xander thought extensively about this and finally decided to go over to Lizzy's home, where he would meet with his daughter.

What's going on here?"He asked.They were all silent over him, as it appeared that none of them seemed to be interested in talking with him for now."You can have a seat my idea,r"His mother carelessly said to him.Xander immediately knew that all wasn't well at all, with the way she responded to him, and the way all of them snubbed him.He looked at his fiance, Suzan, and asked her what was going on.

Lizzy's P.O.VMiss Lydia, Xander's secretary, read the words of Xander on the paper and a few seconds later, she began to converse with me."Well, we know that you are a specialist in your field, and we would not like to interfere in your job. However, you must understand that we are the ones sending you on this mission, and because of this, you would definitely feed us with any update that is going on, as you are executing this mission. Do you agree with us on this?"."Yes, of course. It's my duty to report to the company, on whatever thing that is happening"Lizzy replied."Okay. Due to the nature of this job, we shall be offering you the sum of $10,000. We know how hectic it would be, and in fact, we are also considering your security.

I invited her to come this morning. Please, the both of you, should kindly sit comfortably, "Xander responded, gazing into Lizzy's eyes.Lizzy immediately nodded at him, signaling that she had acknowledged his presence."You are welcome to my office, Miss.

Xander P.O.V.He turned to look at who was talking back at him and saw that it was one of his uncles. Xander understood that his family could go the extra mile to achieve whatever they wanted to. They are not just like other families that would fold their hands and watch their blood members doing whatever they pleased. Xander's family has an interest somewhere—an interest with a certain rich heiress. Meanwhile, on a good Monday morning, Xander was in his office thinking. He was thinking about the good time he had with his long lover, Lizzy. He wished to have another session with her. He had seriously missed her dearly. He never believed that such a thing would ever happen to them again since they were long divorced.As he gently sat on his chair in the office, his mind again was troubled, as the thoughts of Mia, Lizzy's daughter being his daughter. Of Course, he was very happy that he had a daughter somewhere. At Least, with the woman he loved. But one thing was deeply troublin
Xander P.O.V.Xander returned home, not being happy, after hearing the long-hidden truth from Lizzy.Even though he wasn't happy with her for hiding the truth from her, his heart was still filled with joy to know that he had a child. A daughter for that matter. Not just that. He was happy because he had a child with the lady he ever loved with his heart and soul.Nevertheless, he wasn't happy on her part, that she hid the secret or truth from him.He just regretted why he had to divorce Lizzy in the first place. His heart was filled with pain and happiness. He was just about to shed some tears when he took the courage not to.The thought of not being a father to Mia, his biological daughter when she was yet a baby, provoked him greatly. He was distressed. He wished to start retracing back his life and relationship with Lizzy, but he didn't know how he would go about it. His making love with her wasn't the issue or targeted game. He just needs to meet her again, for them to talk on the
Lizzy's P.O.V...All the touches he gave to Lizzy's body were very passionate. She had seriously missed him over the years and constantly wished that a day like this would come. However, she had conflicting thoughts about the position she had left Xander in her heart. She never, for once, wanted him or any other man to play with her heart the way she thought that it had been previously dealt with.All this while, she wanted to keep mute in the things about Xander, not until fate brought them together again.She was pleased whenever her boss informed her about the latest lucrative job that had been allocated to her through mail. She never knew that fate was the one playing its role, and the moment she got to know that Xander would be her new client, the story changed. She wasn't happy again and definitely, she knew that Xander was gonna pressurize her into doing something romantic and erotic with him.In Fact, she never expected that he was going to come to her home, simply because of
Lizzy smiled as she saw Mia dressed in her costume for costume day in school. Mia smiled at her mom and flashed a smile…a smile that reminded her of someone, someone she didn’t want to be reminded of.“Mom! See I am dressed as Daenerys Targaryen” she said and Lizzy smiled lovingly in return.“It’s Daenerys, honey,” she said and Mia shrugged.“Dae-ne-rays,” she said rolling the “r” “Sounds exotic,” she said and Lizzy grinned. Mia had been the one from her past that didn’t bring her pain. The one thing that kept Lizzy sane.She watched as Mia straightened her white wig that she had ordered from Amazon, and her daughter looked every inch a princess.“How do I look, mommy?” She asked and Lizzy grinned. Lizzy tried to ruffle the wig but Mia danced away, wagging her finger at her.“You look like a queen,” Lizzy said and Mia smiled smugly.“Good, because I am going to burn some guys with my dragons,” she said, making a pouty face.“Mia!” Lizzy exclaimed and her daughter laughed.“I am kiddi
