How can you be so shameless?!” He pointed a finger at her. She was confused at his sudden outburst. “What are you saying?” “You and I know that thing you are carrying is not mine!” Her lips quivered. “It’s your baby, Asher.” “Cut the crap! I’m sterile!” “What?” She gasped in shock. Nina was excited to announce her pregnancy to those she considered family, only for her husband, Asher, to curse her out and claim to be sterile.

How did we get here in barely three weeks?” Xander asked as he stared at the sales report in awe.Jace had a full-blown smile on his face. “I am just as shocked as you are. Not only did we top the market, but we also went above our mark. You would think someone jazzed them in some way. Everyone is going really into it in the market. We have to make more production. There is so much traffic on the website because of those ordering online. I must say, Nina is a walking money machine.”Xander held up a complete, proud grin. “Believe me whenever I say I know what I am doing. Give me a moment.” He said, picking up the table phone. “Yes, Lisa. Get me the head researcher for the food department, Miss Ruiz.”“Right away, sir,” Lisa replied.“This is the first time I have seen you look this happy,” Jace commented.He shrugged. “I can’t help it. Nina is making me proud.”Nina’s entry brought their conversation to a halt. “Hi
Chapter 30 Blissful NightXANDER’S HOME, NEW YORK.Rolling to the side of the bed, Xander stiffened when he felt a body next to him. Opening his eyes properly to see who it was, he was almost shocked to see Dawn. However, Xander remembered all that happened the night before and felt quite relieved. Dawn had drunk on the sweet wine his mother brought, and Venus insisted he let Dawn spend the night.After putting her to sleep in the guest room, Dawn still went to his room while sleepwalking, refusing to return to hers. Yawning, he got up and headed downstairs, still feeling quite sleepy. Only Carla’s coffee can wake him up. And just as expected, she was already by the kitchen brewing the coffee.Xander hugged her from behind, kissing her cheek. “Hey there, Carla. How was your night?”“Beautiful. I am guessing you had a blissful night. I saw her in your bed.” Carla teased.He waved a dismissive finger, settling himself on a stool. “Get your mind out of the gutter. Nothing happened betwee
Chapter 29 Date HerXANDER’S HOME, NEW YORK.“Oh, God, no!” Xander exclaimed as he stopped his car halfway into the house, just when he hoped to end his day with a good book to read after spending a fantastic time with Nina. Only to find his mother’s car parked on his premises.A wide smile tugged at his lips as an idea popped. He was looking behind him to escape. He realized someone had blocked the car from behind. His heart raced fast like he was about to be kidnapped. Getting out of the vehicle, he hurried to see who the intruder was.“What the fuck, Jace?” He bellowed.Jace stepped out looking like a not-so-innocent child. “Mum asked me to make sure the minute you step in, you never get to leave again.”He clenched his fist hard. “Now? Have I turned into a prisoner in my own house? You know what? You all can have a car. I have my legs to use.” Xander returned to his car and grabbed his phone and wallet.“You know she would come back again. Please, see her this one time. And I am s
Chapter 28 Her New HomeNINA’S NEW HOME, NEW YORK.Nina was awed by the simplicity of the four-bedroom house. The interior had simple, warm, elegant touches that made it feel welcoming, just like the owner of X&J Empire. She wondered if it was the first house Xander had lived in when he started the company. It had too much of his aura.“You like what you see?” Xander asked behind her with the last of the boxes in hand.She giggled. “It’s beautiful. Isn’t this too much for a mere staff, though?”He couldn’t respond yet as he went into one of the rooms to drop the box before joining her again. “It's not too much, and I can assure you there is nothing like a mere staff in my company. Everyone is considered important.”It seemed like the couch was calling out to her, and Nina gladly received the invitation as she sat in it, heaving a sigh of relief. “This feels so good. I bet I have to attest to the beautiful treatment for both high and low-level staff. That is so thoughtful of you.”Xand
Chapter 27 Is It Nina? XANDER’S HOME, NEW YORK.Dawn entered Xander’s house by pressing the code. She chose not to use the doorbell, considering herself a part of the house already. Carla was the first to see her, and the older woman didn’t hesitate to show her displeasure. Dawn sneered at her before gliding toward the study where she was sure Xander would be. “Hey, baby.” She cooed from the door, making her way in. Xander raised his head from the book in his hand. He checked the time, and it was past nine. “What are you doing here this late, Dawn?”She scoffed. “When have I not been at your place at whatever time? It never bothers you.” “It always bothers me. I do not like people coming around my house without prior notice.” “But I am not people. I am your favorite person.” She said, making a cute face. Xander didn’t look a bit impressed by it. “I am still not pleased with it, Dawn. You have a fucking phone. Let me know when you want to come again. What if I had someone over?”
Chapter 26 A Success?X&J EMPIRE, NEW YORK.Dani and Carlos almost collided as they rushed into the office breathlessly. “Nina!” They called out at once. Nina stopped her call with Tania to look at them. “I will call you back, Tania. I have something to attend to.” She said, ending the call. “What is it?” “You won’t believe this!” The two of them chorused. “Can you stop imitating me?” Dani sneered at Carlos. Nina sighed softly. “Alright, let Dani tell me, Carlos, please.” She had to beg because Carlos might take it personally and refuse to let anyone speak. “Thank you.” She mumbled when he huffed in response, folding his arms. Dani squealed. “Guess who is raving the markets?” “Who?” “The veggies package we made. People are going crazy over it.” She announced. Nina blinked in surprise. “How do you know this?” Dani scratched the back of her head and looked towards Carlos. “We have our ways.” He responded on her behalf. Nina wasn’t sure to smile just yet. As suggested, they got
Chapter 25 The Family DinnerPRAWNS & SHRIMPS RESTAURANT, NEW YORK.Asher got out of the car, checking out the restaurant space. He has always heard about the Prawns and Shrimps but never got the chance to visit. Not because he couldn’t afford it; it was just never on his bucket list. Rumour has it that Chad Davis owns the place, and only VIPs are allowed to eat there. He chuckled to himself at hitting the jackpot. Leila pushed past him. “Will you quit looking around like you have never seen something like this?” She hissed. “You are always so impatient, Mum. Sometimes it's nice to take it all in without being in such a hurry every damn time.” He said. Darren cleared his throat loudly, “I understand we need this person. But that doesn’t mean I will be so low to please them. I am a pioneer of packaged foods in the country. I deserve to be as regarded as anyone else. So respect yourself, son. Don’t make me lose my patience.” Asher groaned inwardly. He would never understand his pare
Chapter 24 Busy BeeANDREA’S HOME, NEW YORK.Andrea hissed for the umpteenth time as she reloaded her feed, hoping something of interest would pop up. Nina seemed determined to hide away from her. She was surprised that Nina no longer worked at the grocery store. It made her feel good that Nina might be scared of what she would do. Even though it is inevitable that Asher would rather be with her than Nina, it doesn’t stop her from being paranoid. Many things are at stake for Andrea, so she considers knowing a possible enemy has been dealt with a significant step forward. Giving up on the phone, she tossed it to the bed and stared blankly at her closet. She must send a few out for her to have enough to survive on. Settling some of the companies on behalf of Asher because of Nina drained her a bit. Her mother walked into the room and went straight to her vanity mirror without a word. “Mum, for goodness sake! How often have I warned you to stop barging into my room like we own it toge
Chapter 23 Who is Nina? X&J EMPIRE, NEW YORK. Jace didn’t look pleased with Dawn’s presence in his office. “The last time I checked, we don’t have much business together; why are you here?” Dawn scoffed. “You must think yourself as important to have me in here. I have some questions to ask you.” “And if I refuse to answer?” “Then I will tell Minny how much of an asshole you are.” He looked unfazed as he leaned further into the chair. “Go ahead, tell your sister. Do you think she doesn’t know that already? Your sister likes to roll with the bad boys. And I am a motherfucking good-looking one.” He smirked proudly Dawn wanted to throw something at his face to wipe off the dumb smirk. She would never understand what Minny is doing with him. “I bet she is just using you.” “Well, I am glad it is a mutual feeling. Once again, Dawn, what do you want? It is too early in the morning for me to have your face in my business. What the fuck do you want from me?” “How did Xander get t
