Xena Remington“Okay, this is crazy, why are we following him around? I swear to god. Our lives used to be so boring and mundane, now we are stalking Georgina’s boyfriend!” Zara exhales as I continue following Georgina’s boyfriend around.“We have to break them up. Somehow. Otherwise, Archer will never let me go ahead with my plan.” I say as I park in the parking lot of Toby’s office. It was a small set-up, with a few people working under him. His office was thankfully on the ground floor of the building.The good thing was that he doesn’t know me or Zara. He hasn’t seen our faces ever, he has probably heard our names but I doubt Georgina gave a lot of information about us to him. Thankfully Archer helped me out with the basic information about Toby so I can break them up but sadly I didn’t have any plan. I was just going to wing it.Should be easy, right?“Okay, but I thought Georgina was your friend? Why are you trying to break them up?” Zara asks me with concern laced in her voice
Xena RemingtonI was standing outside Axel’s house for five minutes now. Zara dropped me here and told me not to come home till I have the chat with Axel. I still sometimes struggle to understand how my life ended up becoming so eventful and crazy.I continued contemplating whether to go inside and talk to Axel in his house, where the two of us would probably be alone. Sadly, I don’t think I have a choice. I have to go inside and convince Axel to go along with my plan. I huff loudly as the security guard, Steven, greets me and asks me why I haven’t been coming around. I tell him I’ve been busy, and not in the mood to discuss my sad life right now. I enter the familiar surrounding as I follow Steven inside the huge living room of the penthouse. I groan when I realize Mrs Costanza isn’t around, which means when Axel comes down, it would be just the two of us alone in this big house.“He’ll be down in five minutes, he is taking a shower. Shall I ask the housekeeper to bring you some ref
Xena Remington Unknown number: HelloI stare at the message, wondering who was texting me at 1 am at night. I stared at the message, wondering if I should reply to this message or not.Unknown number: its me, Tiffany. Jace said you wanted to talk to me about Axel.My heart started beating as soon as I saw the name ‘Tiffany’ flash on my phone. I quickly sent Zara a screenshot of her message, hoping she would come online but I knew she dozes off the minute the clock strikes 12.Me: Yes, can we meet and talk?My hold my chest as I continue staring at the screen, watching the ‘typing’ symbol appearing at the bottom of the screen.Unknown number: sure but what about Asher?Me: don’t worry, my friend is going to stall him at his place so he will never know that we met. Also we can choose a safe place to meet.Unknown number: do you mind coming to my house?Me: Axel would kill me if I do that and I know he will find out somehow.Unknown number: you are right. What do you suggest? Somehow I
Xena Remington “So, remember, you have to-“ I start giving Axel instructions again but he waves me off.“Sweetheart, you know the only way ‘your’ plan is going to work is if I do everything my way?” he asks me but I wasn’t convinced.“Axel, we have to make sure toby breaks up with Georgina. This is for your brother.” I remind him but he just laughs.“Yes, I know. Which is why you need to remember that you are my girlfriend and play along with everything that I do.” I feel my heartbeat increase at his words.“Wait, what are you going to do?” I ask nervously. Not sure if I can handle having Axel's big and rough hands on me.“You’ll see but remember, you have to play along. Okay?” he asks me as we continue setting the table. Axel sent Mrs Costanza home so that Toby would let his guard down with fewer people. “Also, the woman who is coming here is for Toby. So not that you would, but you cannot hit on her.” I tell him as I try to call Melissa to ask her where she has reached.“Doll, I c
Xena RemingtonI sit there nervously beside Axel as they welcome Toby in. I wanted to speak but after the shock Asher gave me when he showed up and told me about how he knows I met with Tiffany, I am scared that he will tell Axel about it and screw up the whole plan.Also, Axel would hate me for interfering in his life when he specifically warned me not to. Thankfully I didn’t have to do much as Asher was being very helpful when it came to the operation breakup. He was sitting at the head of the table and controlling the entire conversation. I felt like Axel and Asher had a telepathic bond because they kept completing each other’s sentences.Melissa was sitting right in front of me so I could basically see how she was subtly flirting with Toby who actually thought someone like Melissa was flirting with him and didn’t think something fishy was going on. Because let’s face it, he only landed Georgina after years of grovelling for a date.He wasn’t terrible looking but his personality wa
Xena Remington I hear a knock on my door while I was making my morning coffee. Images of Axel's hands on me started flashing in my head making the familiar beat in my core return. I hated how no matter how hard I tried to stay away from that man. It never worked for me. I was somehow always drawn to him. I knew Axel will stop the minute I put my foot down and told him I don’t want him anymore but somehow I can never say it to him. The minute his hands touch my body, my brain becomes all mushy.Damn it.I curse at myself as I start the coffee machine before heading towards the door. It was probably my mailman or the neighbour’s kid wondering if I have time to play or not. Considering it's Sunday, I probably can hang out with him for some time. His mom and I get along so well that I always get to hear some or the other gossip.I open the door only for my eyes to meet someone’s broad shoulder and chest. I crane my neck up to see Archer Lancaster standing in front of me. I move aside to
Axel LancasterXena Remington is going to be the death of me. Of course, I had heard about her quite a few times before I even met her. Jerold, her ex, always said that she was very slow and dumb but he did love her. So you can imagine my surprise when I met this beautiful woman who faced a lot of trouble keeping her mouth shut.Even though when I first met her she seemed a little scared of me, it didn’t stop her from keeping her from being stubborn and telling me her opinions. It was funny how Jerold always told me that she never really argued and did everything he wanted her to do without any questions or arguments. But with me, she is a feisty little vixen who likes playing games and constantly challenging me and telling me what to do, knowing that I can never say no to her. It’s funny to see her interact with my family and get along with everyone, especially my brothers.Tiffany never really merged in as a member of my family, she liked to keep her life separate which should’ve b
Xena Remington I hear continuous knocks on my door as I continue staring at my phone which had a message from Archer that he has figured it out and that he is on his way to meet me. The knocks on my door get louder as I nervously stare at it, wondering what can I do to make him less angry.“I know you are in there. Open the damn door. I need to set you straight.” I bite my lip as I head towards the door, holding a hand to my chest.I knew Axel was incapable of hurting me but for some reason, I knew I had pissed him off a lot. I did something he warned me not to do, repeatedly. I opened the door mid—knock as I greet him with a big smile on my face.“Axel, what a pleasant surprise-“ I start out in a very cheery voice trying to not think of how hot a pissed-off Axel looked.“Cut the crap, princess.” he says as he pushes me back in the house and slams the door behind him, “What the hell makes you think you have the right to interfere in my life and do the only thing that nobody, not even
