Quinn.Half sleeping, I reached out for Xavion. I can still remember what happened last night. I had a slight fever, and his embrace healed me. His manly scent completed the whole of me I'd longed for years. With my eyes shut, I smiled and moved my right hand, reaching his side. I love the feeling of touching his warm chest. Instead, I felt the cottony, fluffy texture of a pillow.I was wide awake in an instant. He is no longer beside me.I took my dressing gown that was hanging on the dressing chair, put it on, and ran towards the kitchen. I was relieved to see Xavion preparing something. I thought he left me."Hey, good morning, Quinn! You've got the best chef here on the Island. Let's eat!" Diezel greeted me with a full mouth of food.Xavion turned to see me carrying freshly brewed coffee. And his dashing smile gives a warm feeling inside me."Oh, you're awake." Xavion smiled, looking so hot on his white top. He put down his cup of coffee and strode sexily towards me."I thought y
Quinn . -matured content- Xavion reclaimed my lips, kissing me hungrily. I opened my mouth and welcomed every thrust of his tongue as it explored every corner of my mouth. His hand pushed the hem of my skirt, caressing my thighs. I gasped in anticipation, and my body melted. Every touch of his hand in between my thigh sends thousands of heat inside me. His lips traveled down my neck. I giggled when I felt his lips around there. I continue massaging his nape. He swept me in his arms and gently eased my body on the bed. Our eyes locked briefly, and his weight pushed my body on the mattress. "I love the look of your eyes, Quinn. It speaks of wanting me, darling." He said, licking his lips and his hand gently caressing my side, aiming to unhook my bra. My body arched, and the moment he unhooked my bra and took off my top, his lips came crashing on mine again. "Oh, dammit." He groaned, and I moaned when I felt the gentle massage of his hand on my breast. I was already on fire. Ever
Diezel's POV . "You have to understand your son. You can't just push him to marry someone against his heart. He is a Mondragon. And being a Mondragon man only means one thing. . . We are born stubborn to the content of our hearts. We stick to what our hearts dictate no matter how fucking twisted the path we choose. We dedicate ourselves to one woman. We fight for love and go crazy with it." I gritted my teeth as I listened to Xavion's parents, who were sitting beside me. I have never experienced love before, so I do not know what it feels like. I grew up in a tough but humorous environment surrounded by good and bad individuals. I am currently accompanied by my cousins, who are pretty eccentric. The black Mondragons are my favorites, and I belong to them. I am one of them. But the hell, I am here facing the same sky, standing beside Xavion's father. "When is the wedding?" Xavion's mother looked at me. "Tomorrow, Zia." I swallowed hard, avoiding her gaze. Zia Maricor reminds me
Xavion . The strong wind blew her golden brown curly hair onto my face as she opened the door. I couldn't help but notice her beautiful and unique scent, something that only a woman can possess. Although I dislike strong perfumes, Quinn's scent has left a lasting impression on me. Even when my eyes are closed, I can still detect her fragrance. Every day, as she passed by, I would secretly steal glances at her. Her smile had a way of brightening up my day, and her laughter was like a symphony to my ears. Without a doubt, she was one of the most stunning girls on campus, and her family background had earned her quite a reputation. "Aren't you sick of watching her from this far?" Hendrix said behind me. And now, the two of us secretly look at her from this distance. Her familiar friends surround her. The usual ones that I see every day. "Aren't you going to introduce yourself to her? If you have an interest in her, Xav, it may be worthwhile to introduce yourself. Remember, you are
Xavion . "Come on, Xav, don't be scared. We're the only people here. I thought you wanted to see what's underground. Don't worry, my father isn't here, and neither are my brothers. They were on a field trip. On a business!" She said, slowly stepping inside the underground den. I straightened up first and looked around behind us. No one else is around. The sky was dark, and we secretly passed behind the secret garden of the mansion. The Langley's estate seemed promising but was like a haunted one for me. This place is not even a quarter of where I live. Of course, she didn't know that. I have my reason why I hide my identity from her. But I didn't lie about my name. "What do you think?" She turned around and stopped in front of me. Her eyes twinkled like a star. I nod. "Hmm, not bad. Is this your secret hideout?" I asked, stepping and shifting my body to look at my surroundings. "Yes, this is where I hide most of the time. My father abandoned this place a long time ago, and I di
Xavion . We were like magnets. We stick together and are comfortable with each other. If I was surrounded by my classmates, Quinn was surrounded by her, too. It's funny because since I'm in my fifth year, I could always see her down the second level of our building. The engineering school building was designed with an O, a total of the sixth level. So, first-year students go to the first floor, and sophomore goes to the second, and so on. Whenever we were with our friends, we acted like we didn't know each other. And only a gaze dominates between us if we accidentally meet. I always get excited daily and can't wait to see her again. We always met at our secret place. I helped her with everything: math, chemistry, physics, and even making a sketch plan design. Even though I am busy with my upcoming thesis, I still allocate time for us. A day without seeing her is not complete. She completes me. This setup has become a secret. No one knew, even Hendrix. He was my only cousin nearb
Xavion . "Who did this to you, Xav? Is it Dominic?" Hendrix asked quietly from my side. I weakly shook my head. My whole body is covered in bruises. I have broken bones in every part of me. It's painful, but nothing compares to the pain in my heart. I was fooled, and I couldn't accept it. I offered my heart genuinely for the first time, and this is what I got in return. I underestimated her. I thought she was different from all the girls who wanted my attention. I trusted and have given her my heart. I admit it was careless of me, and I didn't expect this. I thought she loved me. I thought she'd stick to me no matter what. I was wrong. It was a mistake to like her from the start. Hendrix stood up and looked at me. It's evident. He was angry and wanted revenge for this. I shut my eyes as I felt weak. I can hear my mother talking to the doctor outside, and I can't understand what it's all about. "Your father is coming, Xav. You better tell me the truth," in Hendrix's voice. My eye
Quinn . "Make sure to say that to his parents, okay? I want you in a precise manner, Quinn. Act nicely!" I held my head high and clenched my teeth, enduring the discomfort. It seemed as though the intangible leash around my neck was becoming more constricting day by day. I could no longer breathe. I am slowly dying. "Dominque will take you to the ballroom tonight to meet the investors. I want you to look beautiful, my dear. So I ordered the most stunning dress from CEVS." My father's body shifted, ready to get out of the room. I paused when I saw his reflection in the mirror. Layla and Taylah, my two personal maids, politely polish my dress and gently comb my long, wavy hair. "And by the way. I want you to wear those shoes," he said. His eyes pointed to the table beside the dressing table. "You are the perfect Cinderella, my dearie," in my father's mischievous smile. My heart sank in both pains, shouting for freedom. "Make sure to memorize the script, okay? Put your perfect smi
