Thank you for reading.
Xavier's POV Two weeks have passed since I found my wife in a coma. It saddens me that we had lost our child and not only because the child was going to stabilize my legacy. As I sit in my office, I can't help but think about how Leah is doing back at home. Avoiding the pain that comes with it, I haven't decided what to do or how to react because a part of me feels like punishing her for being reckless. Fighting within myself, the vibration of my phone pulls me out of my zone. I stare at the screen and Santino's name pops up sending a rush of anger inside me. I ignore it.But he doesn't stop calling, and after the fifth ring, I decided to pick up."Xev man, look I am so sorry about what happened. It is all my fault for bringing Sandra over. I am truly sorry."For a long time now, I have never allowed anyone to be as close to me as Santino and he too is only close enough to speak freely around me. But after the stunt his fuck buddy pulled, I cut him off."Look, give me a chance to ma
Xavier's POV Walking into the meeting, I am fueled by anger. For a moment I wonder if at all they are the same ones behind my father's death and lord help me if I find even one thread of the truth. I find everyone sitting in their usual spots and I take my seat at the head. My eyes meet with Dante and I can see the hate in his eyes but where his feelings end is where mine begin. They will all pay. "Good morning.""Good morning.""Let me not waste anyone's time, I am sure we are all busy.’’‘’Yes, please do share what the purpose of the meeting is.”’ Dante says in a mocking tone.Motherfucker! ‘’I am not here to discuss, I am here to notify everyone here that as we speak right now the administration at the hospital is changing and Doctor Kendra who most of you are familiar with is fired.’’‘’What do you mean?!’’ Dante asks, slightly rising from his seat. Bingo! The reaction I was looking forward to. ‘’Why? You don’t like the idea?’’‘’You are ungrateful, you will pay for this!’’
Leah's POV I stare in horror as Xavier points the gun right into John's heart. My greatest fear has been getting him involved in my mess and no matter how hard I have tried it has been difficult because these people just won't let me be. As soon as Dave picked me up a few hours ago, I was so disturbed that my thoughts were not in place. I didn't even realize that I was in a moving car until my phone vibration brought me back to reality. Staring at my screen, I realize the one calling me is Sandra and I frown. I am not ready to speak to her. Her influence contributed to the loss of my child but then she meant well so I shouldn't blame her too much. The constant debate keeps me locked in a web of confusion. "Hello?""Hi hun, how are you today?""I just lost my child Sandra, how do you think I am?""I know and you don't know how sorry I am. There is nothing I can do to make it up to you?""How about giving me a new baby?""Why not just make a new one?" she laughs.Her free spirit des
Xavier's POV Five Kidnappings. Five fucking Kidnappings is what Leah has experienced in less than a year of being married to me. Even the First Lady doesn't get in danger this much. As soon as I received the call that she had been kidnapped, my heart nearly stopped. Every fiber of my being was consumed with the thought of getting her back safely. After all the unresolved issues I thought we should stay happy for a while and address them later. I can't imagine the possibility of life without her. This moment made me realize that I love her. Whatever secrets she may have, I can forgive her. Just stay alive, please. "I need you to find her and bring her back!" I bark into the phone, my voice betraying the fear I felt inside. "We're on it," Santino assures me. "We'll use every resource at our disposal and we are tapping her location through her ring." But I don't feel reassured. Who did this? We have too many enemies. I can't even pinpoint the one behind this but that is secondary. I
Leah's POV Disbelief, pain, and suffering are what I have experienced the past few hours and the saddest thing is I can't seem to remember. Xavier has been shot and I feel terribly weak. Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, John shows up right when we are so close to escaping. As he points the gun at Xavier, my mind thinks of so many scenarios, and none of them are positive. I don't know where the strength comes from but enough is enough, I will be damned if I will let anyone hurt me or my husband again. I am tired of playing the victim. laying like a little princess who always needs to be rescued and taken advantage of.As the two men stare at each other, they don’t see me move swiftly and grab the gun from John pointing it right at him.‘’Why the fuck are you back in my life?’’The last time we had an encounter he was on the verge of death and I saved his ass by trying to keep blood off Xavier’s hands but I regret it.‘’Woah, easy there princess’’ he mocks me. ‘’We don’t
Chapter Forty-twoLeah’s POVHe cuts the call and puts his phone aside. I am curious about his action but I remain silent. As he holds me, My body aches for his touch as he hugs and caresses my back, I forget about the thoughts that were running in my mind a few minutes ago. I feel a sensational feeling making me mourn slightly. He turns my head and kisses me drawing all the breath out of my lungs. He pulls my hair slightly to gain more access and now leaves small kisses from my neck all the way to my collarbone.‘’Mmmmmm, ah!” I moan. Right in the queue, he uses one hand to squeeze my breasts and the other hand to slowly play with my center.‘’How long has it been since I was inside you baby?’’ he asks as he now lifts my dress on my head and removes it along with my panties leaving me naked.I spread my legs for him as he inserts his finger inside me, then shortly after he inserts another.‘’My wet pussy, so sweet and so tight,’’ he whispers in his husky voice.‘’Please.’’ is all I c
Leah’s POVAs we dance on the floor, I feel completely lost in Xavier's arms. His touch is electric, and I can’t help but melt into him as we sway to the music. I am lost in the moment, feeling more alive than I ever had before. At the corner of my eye, I see Kendra walking towards us but I turn my head Ignoring her completely.Suddenly, I hear her loud voice behind me. "Excuse me," she says, cutting through the music and pulling me out of my trance.I turn to see her standing there, looking more angry than I had ever seen her before. "We need to talk," she says, her eyes locked on me.When did this bitch and I start having conversations?Xavier’s grip on me tightens, and I can feel him tense up beside me. It could be because he knows am now a killer or to protect me I don't even care. "Not now, Kendra," he says firmly. "This is not the time or place."But she doesn't back down. "No," she says, her voice rising. "I've been waiting too long for this. I need to talk to you, and I need to
I can’t believe they would stoop this low. They know we are coming for them and instead of making things right, this is how they choose to play it? I bite the inside of my tongue As I walk to the boardroom. Xavier has been unreachable and it makes me feel uneasy not knowing if he has an idea of what is going on. It hasn’t been a year since I got my position but I have worked hard to earn my position as Vice CEO of the company, and now that the board of directors wants to play dirty I won’t give them peace. Entering the room, I sit in front of the boardroom table, my palms sweaty and my heart pounding in my chest. I look around trying to find my Husband but I don’t see him and my heart sinks.I am fucked.‘’He is not here, Madam,” Dante smirks. ‘’We can’t have your husband in here, looking at how the decision we have made will only affect him. Seeing how he can’t be objective. We decided without him.’’ He adds and I feel like slapping the smirk right off his face."I understand that D
