A sigh escaped Alexander’s lips as he swiped to pick the call from his mum. “Son,” her voice was averagely cheerful as she spoke. “I’ve been calling you for a while now. Why weren’t you taking my calls?” “I’m sorry, mum,” he breathed out in response. “I was busy at- Work. Just work.“ “You still overwork yourself, do you not?” He heard her click her tongue. “Alex-“ “You can say I take that from you,” he replied her then sighed again. “You are also a workaholic yourself.” “Oh, please,” she chuckled. “At least I’m on a vacation myself.” He nodded like she could see her. She was on a vacation. The break she needed from her family and the never ending drama it contained. He could only imagine the shock she was going to go through on getting back. Loads of things had happened in her absence, the fact that her husband was about to take in a new wife topping the list. “Anyways,” he quickly said before she could read meaning to his silence over the phone. “Why did you call? Are you e
Entangled With The Billionaires EIGHTEEN: MYA XAVIER.
EIGHTEEN:It was to be a regular morning with Frank and Mya breaking their fast sitting miles apart from each other but it was not. Rather than her mentally marvelling on the tenderness of the beef on her plate, something else was on Mya’s mind.And it had been on her mind for weeks now, ever since she heard the news of her husband taking a new wife while she was on her trip.After taking longer than usual, she finally swallowed the freshly chewed beef in her mouth and immediately turned to face Frank. She had returned home after months of being away the previous night and all her husband had to say to her was, “Oh, you’re back.”It was no surprise to her though. Her reply to him was also mumbled. But now that they were at the table after spending their nights in different rooms, she had a bit more to say to him.“So, I heard you would be getting married soon.”“Don’t give me that, Mya,” he replied. “You heard about it because I wanted the message to be passed across to you. don’t mak
Entangled With The Billionaires NINETEEN: LITTLE CONSEQUENCES
“Oh, it is you.”Mya looked at Elaine from head to toe, staring at every single visible inch of her body in curiosity about what the girl that managed to catch the eyes of her husband looked like.She was quite the beauty, even Mya couldn’t deny, making her quickly come to the conclusion her husband, like any other man, had fallen for her looks.She clicked her tongue as she watched her take a nervous step backwards, away from her. Compared to what she had expected, the Elaine girl seemed timid. A bit too timid to be Frank’s wife and her new rival.She was expecting a bold looking girl. One who was gorgeous, knew it and sure knew how to use it as her strength. Not one who looked like she would shrink at even the slightest yell from her.“M-Madam Mya,” Elaine stuttered as she stared at Mya. “You are back, ma’am.”Mya could almost tell what she was thinking and in response rolled her eyes. What was she expecting? To show her gold digging ways and just get away with it easily because she
Entangled With The Billionaires TWENTY: CHANGES
After a long exhausting weekend that felt like it was going to last forever, it was finally Monday.Both Elaine and Alexander's day started on a awkward note as they were forced to sit at the table for breakfast. A very awkward breakfast with everyone including Mya barely having an appetite.After taking a number of forced bites, Alexander could no longer stand it and got on his feet, having Elaine scurry behind him to get to ride with it to work. Not of course without glances of disapproval from Mya. "Mr Xavier," Elaine spoke up the second they got into his car. "About your jacket from the other day-" "I asked you not to worry," he quickly cut her off to say. "I'll come fetch it when I'm ready." She nodded then pressed her lips together, proceeding to remain silent throughout the rest of the ride. The decision to remain silent was apparently mutual as neither of them uttered a single word to each other throughout the ride until they finally got to the office. Immediately stepping
Entangled With The Billionaires TWENTY-ONE: P.S, HE STILL HATES ME
Elaine’s stomach let out a rumble and she was immediately reminded of Alexander’s words. It was annoying this time though as she was also reminded of how rude and grumpy he was just a couple of hours ago. What had she done that was so wrong? All she did was ask if he was headed somewhere and then try to show her care by telling him he didn’t need to worry about driving her home first. But in response, what had she gotten? Nothing but the usual cold and grumpy Alexander. She knew she wasn’t supposed to be surprised or disappointed but she was. She had slowly gotten used to him being oddly nice to her and now, his default cold self had become one she was taking offense to. Her stomach grumbled again and she immediately let out a groan. She didn’t want to eat just yet but knowing every second she tried to starve herself was simply going to result in her thinking about Alexander, she quickly rose to her feet and stepped out of her room. Was he back from wherever he went to, she w
Entangled With The Billionaires TWENTY-TWO: A GAMBLE CALLED LOVE.
Alexander stared at his reflection in the mirror as he had been doing for over ten minutes.He held onto his tie, refusing to fasten the final knot and then move to what next he needed to do to get ready for work. Instead, he kept on staring at himself wondering if he was really going to have to be dressed in a similar suit in a couple of weeks from now but instead of going to work, would be walking down an isle in it.Marriage.He could feel a headache come up at just the thought of it. The thoughts of how his father had dismissed all of his preferences and all the promises they made and proceeded with his wedding arrangements like he wasn’t a major part of the whole event.He wasn’t ready to get married. He wasn’t going to be ready in a few weeks. Or a few months. Or forever, in fact.Especially not to a total stranger.All he knew about his wife to be was her name alongside her father’s name. Vanessa Constantine, they said. He had no idea what she even looked like and genuinely was
Entangled With The Billionaires TWENTY THREE: A HELPING HAND I
Having guests at work wasn’t something that happened rarely but definitely having guests that were members of the Xavier family was.Work started on a good note with Alexander remaining in his office almost the whole time while Elaine and Rachael worked from their own side. It was all going rather smoothly until the doors burst open to reveal Mya Xavier strolling into the office, overflowing with glamour.“Ma-ma’am,” Elaine immediately rose to her feet as she spotted her, Rachael doing the same. “You’re here.”Clothed in the latest designer jumpsuit the stores had to offer that just seemed to make her warm skin glow, she walked in. Her brown hair was styled up and she looked as beautiful as ever. Her eyes, a dark shade of brown and her lips painted a subtle shade of red highlighted her well defined features. She was getting older but Elaine could swear she looked younger every single time she laid his eyes on her and for someone she saw regularly, it was a lot.“Mrs. Xavier,” Rachael s
Entangled With The Billionaires TWENTY-FOUR: A HELPING HAND II
Still holding on to the tray of coffee, Elaine suddenly became conflicted. She had been too busy eavesdropping to remember to drop the coffee in and now that she was gone, what exactly was she supposed to do?Walk in and pretend to not have noticed Mya’s departure or return to the office and risk Rachael wondering why she didn’t give them their coffee ages ago.The latter seemed like the least feasible one of her choices especially since she couldn’t deny, was curious about what Alexander was still doing in the meeting room. He should have stepped out few seconds after his mother took her leave but instead, he was still indoors, locked.Summoning the courage, she tightened her grip around the tray and returned to the meeting room, immediately placing a knock on the door. One Alexander surprisingly replied to immediately.“Come in.”“Mr. Xavier,” her voice was soft as she stepped in. “I brought you coffee.”He was standing by the farthest end of the office, hands tucked in his pocket,
