Chapter 19. Caroline didn’t know what was happening. One moment Xavier was all over her and the next moment he almost dragged her out of the club and sent her home with the guards. Angie was sent home too and they both didn’t know what the night would bring for them. At the Club. Xavier was fuming with anger. Previously it was all about his shipments and now someone dared to mess with his business, his clubs. It was getting personal now. Even without asking his security team, he knew the security footage would have been tempered too. Marcus was constantly on the phone since they had left the club, barking orders, getting to find the trail and they both could bet with guarantee that if they ever caught the culprit, he will be dead just the way the one killed himself with a poison capsule. Xavier pressed the Bluetooth button in the steering g wheel to answer the incoming call. “Elyas”? He asked in a tone his employees were well aware of. “The lead took us to a dead end”. He rep
Chapter 20Caroline was spinning the paper weight on the table when she heard the door opened and then closed behind her back.“My apologies for making you wait. I was just busy making sure that no one escapes the law. What would you like to have?” Sean was talking as if they were best friends forever.“A coffee, white and 2 sugar and for my guards too”. She kept her calm as if she owned the office. Sean looked at her as if she had grown another head but proceeded to call his PA for coffees and snacks.“So make I ask, what bring you here? But firstly, I would apologies for the news of the club on fire. So many enemies to fight yeah”? He said with a smirk that Caroline copied.“Exactly, and specifically when the enemies don’t have balls to state on the face so they stab behind the back like the cowards they are. But one way or the other, one mistake and everything will fall back into pieces. Anyway, this was and was not the reason I came here”. Caroline’s voice turned ice cold just li
Chapter 21.She was in deep thoughts in her office that she didn’t realize Chelsea entering.“Boss, the members are waiting in the conference room”. She said making her wake up from her thoughts.“Oh it’s late”. She stood up taking her laptop with her. She checked the time in her mobile and suddenly she realized that Xavier’s birthday was less than a month. Great. Now she had to plan for his party and a gift. Well not for gift because she had a great idea in her mind, one Xavier would never forget.She was stuck with her clients and meetings one after another and for that she had to visit her office almost on daily basis since it wasn’t convenient for her and her clients to visit Xavier’s place.Xavier was surely worried about her safety especially after her meeting with Sean but at least it was all silence. His shipments would cross the borders on time and no huddle at all. He was relaxed in one aspect at least.---“Caroline how much time”? Xavier called her at her lunch hour. She h
Chapter 22Caroline POVIf someone would ask me the definition if word Perfection, without beating a beat, I would say Xavier Russell. He was sitting on the chair as if he owns everything in the world, and he does, including me.Never in my wildest fantasies, had I imagined that I would be so turned on by a man dominating me. And let’s keep the truths aside that it was me that let him. In my life, I had been praised and complimented a lot. Professionally and personally both. But it was only Xavier that I never allowed anyone to cross the line. Even when it was just a crush, a one way thing, still, I had only imagined about him.Xavier Russell, invading my personal space, ordering me around, bossing me, controlling me and now dominating me. Who wouldn’t want it? I bet his flings would happily die at his feet to be dominated. Not that I had any BDSM kink, but I wanted it. I wanted to hear him praising me. I wanted him to call me names. To compliment me, to spank me. Anything everything.
Chapter 23Xavier was awake for a while but he had no intention to leave the bed yet. Not when Caroline was still sleeping, curled into him. She had a peaceful sleep the whole night except when he took her to bathe her. He was lying down on his back, one arm behind his head and other tracing soft patterns on her naked arm.One thing he asked her to never sleep in clothes and she never said no. she never stopped him from touching her in public or private. She was never doubtful about her body. And this was something Xavier loved about her. She was a confident woman. She was never insecure. But…His mind drifted to the conversation he had with Marcus a few days back.‘I know Sean might have been staying low. I don’t know how and what Caroline told him to back off but he won’t stay down for long. And I am afraid he will speak it all to Caroline. He is not someone to let things go’. Marcus said swirling his whiskey in the glass.‘And what do you expect me to do’? It’s not that Xavier didn
Chapter 24Xavier made sure Caroline would spend the back Amex he placed in her hand, customized for her name. Her let her buy anything she wanted to, for her, for him. She bought him a beautiful Cartier Watch and an Emerald band engraved with their initials. The jeweler shop was owned by Xavier’s friends, hence the best and antique pieces of jewels for them.Xavier invited Marcus and Angie over dinner to celebrate his happiness with his best friends. The girls met and hug each other in squeaks and giggles while the men were only shaking their heads.“So you really took my advice”. Marcus leaned by the bar looking at their women dancing on the stage, celebrating Caroline’s engagement ceremony.“I had to Marc, I need her with me. Though I cannot ignore the fact that she will not forgive me”. He said sipping his drink.“Try to fill her up day by day, step by step. I would say, take her as your legal advisor for offices and personal. This way you can always keep an eye and keep her close
Chapter 25The ride to home was silent. An uncomfortable silence lingered in the backseat between the two passengers.Caroline had not spoken a single word in the office. She only asked for some time to think over the proposal and Marcus took it as a sign to leave.She didn’t speak anything until they entered their home. Xavier saw how she almost threw her bag and went straight to the bar to grab a chilled bottle of beer.“Caroline”. Xavier stepped forward but Caroline just raised one finger to make him stop in his tracks.“Why”?“Because I felt it right”. Xavier said.“Right, because YOU felt it right”. She almost growled.“Caroline, listen to me first”.“What else to listen Xavier? What now? First you thought it would be better to top my account with a hefty amount. Then you come up with handing me a black Amex. You altered the Will. And none of it without asking me or consenting me or at least informing me.I didn’t say anything for your peace of mind. I didn’t want to create fuss
Chapter 26. “So how does it feel to be engaged”? Tisha asked after their lunch. “Extremely possessive and claimed”. Caroline said with a chuckle followed by Xavier. He could not agree more. “And you didn’t bother to call us”. Brock said faking a hurt. Xavier shot him Really Stupid look. He knew Brock was only teasing him as he had excused coming because he couldn’t manage to sum up his work. “But I am glad you guys are here”. Caroline stretched to hold both of their hands. “Let me call Marcus and we could hang out for dinner and clubbing. What say”? Xavier fished out his phone to call once everyone agreed. Caroline took them to the guest rooms at the first floor, away from the master bedroom to give them the privacy as much as they could, where they retired to take rest for the noon. “Did you know”? She asked Xavier but he shook his head. He didn’t tell that he was expecting him to come anyway. He knew the visit was not just to roast him over his engagement. Caroline had to wor
