Xander’s POV

We were back in this damn courthouse, but this time I was the one that brought us here. That witch Cassandra has bitten more than she can chew and she will choke on it this time.

I adjust my tie, exhale slowly, and glance sideways. Olivia is walking very close to me, looking drained and tired, sometimes I wished I just left her alone. Then she won't have to suffer all these atrocious scandals.

Her eyes keep flicking toward the courtroom doors, like she wanted to disappear.

“You don’t have to come inside,” I tell her quietly.

She shakes her head. “I want to. It involves me too.”

She says it firmly, trying to be brave but I know her too well to know it's bullshit. I take her hand in mine, squezzing it.

“I’ll handle Cassandra,” I promise.

Her breathing settles a bit. I knew she wanted to scream to the world, why this was happening. I wished I could give her answers.

Yesterday when Cassandra’s so-called “book excerpt” went viral last night, I contacted my legal tea

  • OFF LIMITS: HIS BEST FRIEND'S MOTHER    THE WEDDING CHAOS( PART TWO)

    Olivia’s POVTime seemed to slow down as Cassandra stormed toward us, her face twisted in rage, eyes locked on me like I was the devil herself. The guests gasped again, chairs scraping as people stood up, whispers rising in the garden. The priest froze, bible still open in his hands, his kind smile gone. Xander’s grip on my hand tightened, his body shifting to block me fully. Ethan was already moving, his best man duties forgotten as he stepped forward with a growl. Maya clutched my arm, her nails digging in a little too hard, but I barely felt it. My heart was thundering so loud it drowned out everything else.“Cassandra!” Xander barked, his voice sharp and commanding. “Get the fuck out now.”But she didn’t stop. She shoved past another security guard who was rushing in from the side, her heels sinking into the soft grass of the path. Her dress—a rumpled red thing that looked like she’d thrown it on in a hurry was hiked up as she charged. “You bitch!” she screamed, pointing at me wi

  • OFF LIMITS: HIS BEST FRIEND'S MOTHER    THE WEDDING DAY ( PART ONE)

    Olivia’s POVThe morning light filtered through the curtains of the hotel room we’d booked for the bridal party, soft and golden like a promise. It was finally here—the wedding day. April 15, 2025. Today I would officially be Mrs Hayes, but what if something goes wrong? I couldn't stop this nagging feeling at the back of my mind that something bad was going to happen.Maya bustled in, her maid of honor duties in full swing. She was already dressed in her soft lilac gown, hair curled perfectly, her makeup flawless. “Rise and shine, bride of the hour! Coffee’s here, and the hair stylist is setting up. You ready to get gorgeous?”I smiled at her, trying to push the worry away. “As ready as I’ll ever be. Thanks for being here, Maya. I couldn’t do this without you."*She gave me a quick hug, her energy infectious. “Wouldn’t miss it for the world. Now, sit. Let’s make you look like the queen that you are.”The morning flew by in a whirl of activity. The stylist arrived, pinning my hair int

  • OFF LIMITS: HIS BEST FRIEND'S MOTHER    COMFORT AND WEDDING PLANNING

    Olivia’s POVI woke up from my nap due to hearing muffled voices, my head was still pounding with the stress of yesterday but I was much rested than this morning. I strained by ears to hear who Xander had in the house. I could hear Ethan's deep voice saying something, was that Maya's laughter? What were they even doing here. I didn't even care, the thought of the two people I loved the most by my side made me happy. I quickly put on a robe over the Xander's tee that I wore earlier that morning and padded my way to the living room. When I walked into the living room, there they were: Ethan and Maya on the couch, takeout bags spread out on the coffee table, Xander was currently pouring out wine in wine glasses. Maya spotted me first and jumped up with a squeal. “Liv! There you are!” She rushed over and pulled me into a tight hug, her floral scent enveloping me. “We heard about the online crap and came as soon as we could. Are you okay?”I hugged her back, feeling tears of appreci

  • OFF LIMITS: HIS BEST FRIEND'S MOTHER    XANDER'S VOW

    Xander’s POV Yesterday was a tough day for the both of us. I couldn't believe people could be so cruel and vicious. Also I thought we were past this hate but I guess not. Liv was up most of the night, that I could tell. I pretended to sleep to give her time by herself to pull through the emotions she was going through. I wanted to say fuck it, and hugged her, whispering good things in her ears, but I felt what she needed at that time was just with her thoughts. Liv was still in bed when I woke up which was unusual as she was always the first to get up in the morning. Her face looked so worried even in sleep, I kissed her cheek and came to the kitchen to prepare us both a strong black coffees. After some time, Liv shuffled into the kitchen wearing my shirt that made her look so tiny. Her eyes were so red and puffy, I wanted to wrap her up and shield her from the world. How can anyone with a clean heart say such thing about this sweet soul?I wished the hateful comments were aimed

I was still reeling from the engagement myself, coupled with Ethan's blessings everything felt surreal. Today I say on the couch scrolling through by phone just browsing the internet, while Xander was tinkering away in the kitchen. An idea just popped up in my head right now.“We should post the pictures,” I said, glancing up at Xander walked up to me handing me a mug. “The ones we took last night by the window. You know before rumours start popping, we should be the ones to announce it.”He sat next to me with his thigh pressing against mine. “You sure? Once it’s out there, it’s out, there's no taking it back.”I nodded, though my stomach twisted a little, not knowing what the outcome would be. “Yeah, let's do this, I'm tired of keeping it a secret.”The day Ethan came, he took pictures of I and Xander by the window.

We already have Ethan's blessings yesterday and today I needed to tell Maya the good news. I grabbed my phone from the nightstand and shot her a quick text: “Hey, girl. I got good news, let's meet at a restaurant, you can pick anyone of your choice.” Maya replied almost instantly: “OMG yes, it's been too long, I need this good news. Let's meet at Luigi's, it's close to the hospital so it's better for me.”I smiled at her energetic to texts, Maya has always been super hyper even with her hectic nurse shifts Luigi's was also perfect, they cooked the best pasta I have ever tasted.
