55|The Plan
~Xavier~
Calvin let out a menacing chuckle, shaking his head. “Isn’t it enough that you stole Zia from me? And now you’re accusing me of plotting against the family? How low can you get, Xavier?”
I scoffed. “Don’t give me that innocent act, brother. We both know I stole no one and nothing from you.”
“I made a mistake, but we could’ve worked something out if you said no to marrying her,” he spat. “You just can’t accept that she loves me more than you.”
I glared at him, amazed by how confident he was about Zia’s feelings for him.
“She never loved you. The moment you agreed to marry Nadia, you lost your chance with her. And now you want to kill me?” he scoffed. “Are you that scared that she’d leave you?”
Thank you for voting :)

~Zia~ There’s this bellowing echo inside my head, locking gaze with Ashley’s almond eyes. I should’ve trusted my gut feel. A snake will change skin, but it’ll remain a withering reptile. “Is that Lorenzo?” I asked, scared for the child that hadn’t stopped crying since I opened my eyes. There’s nothing around that could indicate the time or place where she’d taken me. All I know is its daylight outside, coming from the small window twice my height up on the wall behind me. The clothes I have had since Club Cielo are still cloaking my body, but doing so little against the concrete ground where I’m seated. Ashley smirked, reaching into her jacket pocket for a pack of cigarettes, lighting one as if counting her movements. It’s like I’m staring into her other self. This w

~Zia~I’d like to believe his words. There’s a part of me that wishes he was speaking nothing but the truth, but I know better. This man cheated on me with the bitch that’s holding me captive.He reached out to me, setting his wrist on my forehead since he’s wearing gloves. His eyes widened when I flinched at his touch, forehead creasing.“You’re fucking burning, Zia,” he announced, setting his phone down and dropping the backpack I didn’t notice he brought with him, producing a bottle of water from it.Calvin twisted the cap and handed it to me. I gladly reached for it, seeing that he opened it in front of me. There are other ways that this could be a trick, but I badly needed fluids to help me regain some sense in my surr

~Zia~ I turned to face Calvin only to see two of him smiling sweetly at me. “T-the fuck, C-cal?” I slurred, my world spinning, the butt warmer I’m sitting on… no, the entire car was reeling. The asshole smirked. “I told you we’ll go to the port, my love. Now sleep,” he said, his voice bouncing off from all directions. I fought the effect of whatever he injected me with, but it was no use. My body accepted what he gave me, doing what it was told. My eyes drifted close. I’m hardly aware of my surroundings as the car swiveled on the road. The tire wailed as it screeched. My head slammed on the window, making me grunt. I’m not sure if it was just my imagination. Even the warm li
Falling For My Husband 59|The Only Truth
~Zia~“I-I don’t understand, Xavier,” I said, sniffling. The swollen sensation around my eyes has been constant since my time in captivity.When Ashley held me captive, I knew my goal was to escape, to get home to him. Now, however, I have no direction where I want to be. I’m lost, unsure of what to believe. The pull to either run or stay where I am is tearing me apart.“Zia,” Xavier cupped my face, his green eyes and warm touch, which I longed to see and feel all those cold nights in the dark cell were within my reach, but what if this was another trick? I don’t know how to decipher the lies from the truth anymore.‘He’s here,’ I told myself. ‘I should focus on him and hear his explanation and not let pan
Falling For My Husband 60|Patience
~Xavier~ Immense relief. As though one boulder weighing my shoulder rolled off, leaving me with less weight dragging me down. That’s how I can put in wording what I’m feeling with Zia’s reaction to everything that happened. What I said was true. I’m willing to wait a lifetime for her forgiveness. Now I have to find where my traitor brother and his girlfriend went. He thought he had us fooled with all those big talks of saving Zia. It was a risk I had to take in ensuring Zia’s safety; I needed Nadia and Tiago’s help, though. Calvin pushed me to pull out a trump card Levi, and I have been keeping for years. Zia wanted to go home. The part that she considered the Seattle penthouse as her home kindled my hope that we could work things out.
Falling For My Husband 61|No Words
~Zia~I considered all my options cautiously, biting on my lower lip hard enough to draw blood, eyes following Xavier’s retreating figure out of our room.If I’m being honest with myself, I longed to be in his arms again. This distance I’m forcing between us is a double-sided blade piercing my chest. However, I can’t let him see me cry.For the last six years, he carried this burden on his shoulder, and seeing me weep will only add to his guilt. I need to gather myself together, for Xavier’s sake. He’s the only reason I keep a steady hold on my sanity.~~Freshly showered, still in his robe, I found Xavier with breakfast ready when I walked out of our room.
Falling For My Husband 62|I Promise
~Zia~ It’s both worrying and overwhelming how Xavier knew me like the back of his hands. His lips on mine were soft and careful, as though he’s cautious not to break me. It was as gentle as a morning breeze. His kiss tells me that everything is going to be okay, taking away my worries like he always does. It won’t, and we both know that. His hand came on my backsides, pushing me to mold against his body while the other held my jaw, fingers sliding on the back of my skull, threading through my hair. I sighed in his mouth; the tension in my body instantly lessened. I missed him so much that it hurts to be this close to him. The days that gone by where I reprimanded myself for
Falling For My Husband 63|Walking Tease
~Zia~Xavier brought me to our room, heading straight to the bathroom, setting me above the countertop. While he filled the bathtub with water, he added a few essential oils that would help relieve the tension in my muscles. It’s his own creation, he said. It is a mix of herbs with therapeutic components, but it mostly smells like lavender and myrrh, and it works somehow.I watched him move with ease, his muscle-flexing under the all-black training attire he usually wears—a sleeveless shirt and joggers.As he poured the oil into the water, the calming fragrance of it instantly teased my senses. “Where did you learn to make these oils, X?”He glanced over his shoulder, dropping rose petals on the water. It’s not part of the mix, but he knew I
