Xander stood frozen as he was too stunned. He didn't say a word in his defense or even try to deny what Maxton just said. He knows that Maxton never spoke unless he had proof.

Xander’s mind raced. He had worked so hard to hide the truth about his wife’s death and had buried it deep, or so he thought.

He felt a sudden chill run down his spine as he wondered. How did Maxton find out?

Maxton didn't look at him, he just leaned back in his chair and took a slow, calm sip of his wine. He looked comp

  • Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don    CHAPTER FORTY FOUR: I Must Win

    BINNNNN!The alarm went off at five in the morning, but Raina was already awake.She had been lying in the dark for the past hour, staring at the ceiling, her fingers curled into loose fists at her sides. Her knuckles were still sore from last night's training. She had pushed too hard again, but she couldn't stop. Every time she thought about stopping, her mother's face appeared in her mind and her hands just kept moving.She sat up, rolled her shoulders back, and got out of bed.“Today is the day.” She muttered to herself quietly, like something she needed to hear out loud before she could fully believe it.She moved very fast, washed her face, pulled her hair back into a sleek ponytail, then threw on a plain hoodie and joggers. Nothing flashy.Maxton was already downstairs when she came down and she already knew he would definitely be there because he literally never sleeps.Raina had started to wonder if he was actually human or just some expensive, well-dressed machine that ran o

    VALENTE MANSION…The mansion was quiet when Lorenzo stepped inside.It was just too quiet….His eyes swept across the entrance hall out of habit and noticed some guards cowering at the side.The butler met him at the door and leaned close."Your father is in the sitting room, sir. He has been waiting."Lorenzo's jaw tightened and he nodded. Then he took one slow breath and adjusted his facial expressions, the way he always did before walking into a room with Michael. Smile…Relax the shoulders and look extremely happy like a son who had done exactly what his father wanted.He was good at pretending after all and has been doing it his whole life.Michael was sitting in his chair near the window, his fingers drumming against the armrest and his eyes were fixed on the door. The moment Lorenzo walked in, those eyes snapped to him like a hawk spotting its prey.Lorenzo spread his arms wide and smiled excitedly like a man who had just won the lottery."It's all taken care of, Father."Micha

    Xander stood frozen as he was too stunned. He didn't say a word in his defense or even try to deny what Maxton just said. He knows that Maxton never spoke unless he had proof.Xander’s mind raced. He had worked so hard to hide the truth about his wife’s death and had buried it deep, or so he thought. He felt a sudden chill run down his spine as he wondered. How did Maxton find out? Maxton didn't look at him, he just leaned back in his chair and took a slow, calm sip of his wine. He looked completely relaxed, as if they were talking about the weather. But his eyes were watching Xander like a hawk.Suddenly, the shock in Xander’s eyes turned into hot, burning anger and he took a step forward with his fists clenched tight at his sides."You think you’re so smart, don't you, Maxton?" Xander hissed. His voice was trembling with rage. "You think you can judge me? Look at what you've done! You stole her. I was the one who met Raina first! I was the one who played with her and always protect

    The air in the sitting room instantly became and fell into a deep silence. Maxton was stunned by Xander’s question and he didn’t move or blink. But the flicker of darkness in his eyes was all the proof Xander needed. Maxton wasn't just a man who stepped in to save a deal, he had planned everything that happened that day perfectly. He was the one who had personally ensured that Evan successfully went out of the country that night. He had planned every single detail, from Evan's escape to taking his place at the altar to marry Raina.Maxton stared into his glass, the amber liquid reflecting the fire in his heart, as his mind drifted back to the night everything changed.*********FLASHBACKIt was the evening before the wedding and the Retroferd mansion was buzzing with staff preparing for the big day. Maxton was in his private study when Carlos walked in with a thick folder."Don Maxton," Carlos said, standing at attention. "I have the documents you asked for. These are the details r

  • Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don    CHAPTER FORTY: Did He Really Escape

    The silence that followed Angelo’s words was so heavy it felt like the walls of the Retroferd estate were closing in. "Mommy... baby missed you." The tiny voice rang through the large sitting room, echoing off the marble floors and the high ceilings.Maxton’s eyes narrowed until they were just slits of dark fire and Xander’s jaw dropped, his hands frozen in mid-air where he had been holding his son. Raina was the first one to snap out of the shock. She didn't pull away. She didn't look confused. Instead, a wave of pure, maternal warmth washed over her and it was a feeling she couldn't explain. She tightened her arms around the little boy, breathing in the scent of baby powder and chocolate."Oh, you sweet little thing," Raina whispered as she pulled back just enough to look at his face. Angelo’s eyes were wet with tears, his long lashes clumped together. He looked at her with so much love and recognition that it made her heart ache.Raina stood up, cradling the little guy against he

    On hearing what Maxton said, Raina shook her head and stubbornly went to sit down on the couch.Maxton was extremely pissed off by her disrespecting him in front of a guest. He could tolerate her usually but after seeing how she didn't give him the most basic respect as her legal husband, he really wants to punish her.Xander, who was still standing where they just hugged, saw Maxton's darkened expression and quickly stepped forward with a smile.“Come on bro, she has always been like this since she was a kid” Xander said with a smile and patted Maxton on his shoulder.On seeing that Maxton's expression didn't even change at all, he raised a brow “what's with the deep frown? Is that how you welcome your best friend that you haven't seen in years?”.Raina was stunned by what she just heard and just couldn't wrap her head around it.How could they be best friends? Wasn't anyone with relations with either the Valente or Retroferd family, not allowed to interact with the other? “We met i
