Xander’s POV

The alarm I set before I slept buzzed at 5.am the next morning. I woke up abruptly, shutting it off before it woke Olivia, but she stirred anyway waking up.

"Already?" she mumbled, her voice still sleepy but happy.

"Yeah, gotta hit the road for Minnesota," I whispered, kissing her forehead. "Go back to sleep, beautiful. I'll text you when I get there."

She smiled faintly, eyes still closed. "Please drive safely .I love you."

"Love you more." I slipped out of bed, the cool floor hitting my feet.

The excitement from yesterday was still thrumming in my veins. To be honest I couldn't even sleep all through the night, thinking about how today would go.

Doubts still creep in, what if Cassandra unexpectedly shows up there. I now she can't because nobody knows of my drafting, but you never know.

What if the new team doesn't like me? They would see me as some washed up, scandal filled player. I know this is all up in my head but I can't just push it away.

  • OFF LIMITS: HIS BEST FRIEND'S MOTHER    Xander's New Hockey Team

    Xander’s POVIt's been a month since the opening of Olivia's clinic and it has been an eventful month. We were fully unpacked and living in our private duplex in a family oriented neighbourhood. Married life has been good so far, with lazy mornings, faster afternoons and quiet nights. I loved my wife with all my life and I couldn't ask for anything more. But I would be a liar if I didn't say I thought about hockey during the better part of my day. I missed the game, the cold arena, wearing skates, loud teammates and our over serious Coach Miller.Hockey was basically my life and it still is. I thought I could really do without it but I can't . Since the time i was fired from the Chicago Blizzards, I have been itchy to get off the ice. Now is the best time to call Coach Hartley who offered me a spot in the Timber Wolves team, although I wouldn't be a captain there obviously , but at least I got to play the game I cherished with all my life.This morning something just clicked in my h

  • OFF LIMITS: HIS BEST FRIEND'S MOTHER    A NEW BEGINNING

    Olivia’s POVIt's been two weeks since our wedding and our honeymoon. I and Xander have also moved out from his penthouse. We decided that if we want to start a family, the penthouse was not the best option. We both opted for a four bedroom duplex in a quiet estate where we could raise children if they started coming. Between Xander and I, there was an air around us that have shifted after the wedding. We were more relaxed, and I would say a bit matured, looking forward to what the future held in store for us. Today, I was adding another milestone to my life. I was officially opening my own independent physical therapist clinic. It was going to be a meroable day, Xander had been a great part of opening this clinic and I couldn't thank him enough. I glanced at the clock, noticing it was almost time to head over to the place. Xander came up behind me, his arms wrapping around my waist as he kissed my neck. “Ready for your big day, Mrs. Hayes?” he asked, his voice full of pride and h

  • OFF LIMITS: HIS BEST FRIEND'S MOTHER    THE WEDDING NIGHT

    Olivia’s POVThe limo ride back to the hotel felt like a dream and also a lifetime. My body still hummed with the events that occured during the day, Cassandra's outburst, insults she threw at me, and my fainting spell.Now, all that doesn't matter anymore, at least for now. I can't believe that I and Xander just got married, I feel so alive with his hand currently wrapped on my thigh. The car suddenly stopped and I realized we have arrived at our destination.Xander gently helped me out of the car, his strong arm around my waist, and we walked through the lobby hand in hand.The concierge nodded discreetly, handing over the key card without a word. In the elevator, he backed me against the wall, his lips brushing mine in a soft, teasing kiss. “Mrs. Hayes,” he murmured, his voice low and husky. “I’ve been waiting all day to get you out of this dress.”I smiled, my fingers tangling in his tie. “Patience, Mr. Hayes. We have all night.”The suite was stunning, with it's floor-to-ceiling

    Xander’s POVMy heart stopped the second Olivia’s knees gave out. One moment she was nodding weakly at the priest, her face very pale and the next she was falling down. I caught her just in time, my arms wrapping around her waist as her body went limp against me. “Liv!” I shouted, as panic took over my body.Her head fell backwards, eyes closed, and for second my vision blurred. Then suddenly, shocked gasps, paparazzi's noise, it just erupted at once.“Mom!” Ethan yelled, right beside me, his hand reaching for her shoulder. His face was as pale as mine probably was. Maya pushed through the steps as she came rushing to where we were. “Olivia! Oh my God, breathe!” She said, as she fanned Olivia’s face with her hands, her own eyes wide with fear.The priest stepped back, bible clutched tight, looking lost and shocked. “Is she going to be alright? Should we call an ambulance?”“No, no,” I muttered, lowering Olivia gently to the wooden floor of the gazebo. My skin felt too tight on my bo

  • 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
