The Mafia And The HR Chapter Twenty Eight
Xena RemingtonWe walk down the stairs to eat dinner and I could tell Axel was a little angry about the part where I am going to get to decide how our love story goes. He really hates not being in control and somehow seeing him get so riled up made me very happy.Finally, for the first time ever, I am not the one who is fuming. I am going to ensure I make the most of it. Enjoy it thoroughly while it lasts.“Hello, Brother.” Axel groans loudly as soon as he hears Asher’s voice. Asher was sitting at the dining table with a huge grin on his face. I could see that he was sitting on the seat Axel usually sits on, making me laugh at how juvenile these brothers can be.“What are you doing here? I already talked to you once today. I do not want to see you again. Mrs. Costanza, why is Asher here?” Axel says as he smacks his brother on his head lightly before taking a seat in front of him.“Oh, I usually go to his place to have dinner with him, but today I wanted to have dinner with Xena so I a

Xena RemingtonAfter a long but silly “argument” between the two brothers, Asher finally left and I started feeling the nervousness sinking in. I hate how less Axel has told me about the sleeping arrangement but to be fair to him, I could’ve just asked. Sadly, I am too shy to confront Axel when it comes to such things, I get way too embarrassed as I get flashes from all the times Axel and I have had a moment.“Good night kids.” Mrs. Costanza yells as she walks towards her room and I just wave at her with a huge smile on my face.“So….” I start as we walk up the stairs and Axel looks at me, waiting for me to complete my sentence, “What is the plan….. For tomorrow?” I end up saying still not sure how to just ask him about the sleeping arrangement.“Same old. Also, I need to know what Norman Smith is up to. A lot of people are complaining about him. Do you remember the person I am talking about?” He asks me as we enter his room.“Yes, the guy you who has been misusing your name and bully
The Mafia And The HR Chapter Thirty
Xena Remington I walk hurriedly towards the elevator when I see the doors are about to close. Thankfully I make it, right before it shuts. I quickly push the 27th-floor button before going through the file labelled ‘NORMAN SMITH’. I have a habit of triple checking all the files that I hand to Axel as he is known for being a perfectionist and doesn’t really like mistakes. Thankfully, I haven’t made a mistake yet and I don’t intend to start today.It was 11 am and I was already exhausted. After sleeping at Axel's place last night, unfortunately, I had to go back to my place to get ready and wear my work clothes, and then rush to the office. But this physical exhaustion was nothing compared to my mental one because I couldn’t stop thinking about Axel.I hated how much time of my entire day I devoted to just daydreaming about Axel. But he seems so calm and collected all the time. It felt like he didn’t give two shits about the fact that we have made out, he has made me come or that I sle
The Mafia And The HR Chapter Thirty One
Xena RemingtonI fidgeted with my fingers as I looked outside the window, seeing the beautiful greenery all around me as we drove towards ‘The Lancaster Mansion’ which was known as the haunted house for most kids growing up.While growing up, my city was never safe. It was filled with small-time gangsters looting houses, kidnapping, murdering or selling drugs. Sometimes it got so bad that we were scared to even walk alone in daylight, knowing someone might attack us. But during this pandemonium, the name Arthur Lancaster started to appear in the papers. He had taken down all these small-time gangs and declared himself as the Alpha, which meant the whole country bowed down to him. Then suddenly, everything had become a lot more peaceful for the civilians and Arthur Lancaster issued a code of ethics for all the gangsters stating that they weren’t allowed to torture or take advantage of innocent civilians. Arthur Lancaster might be a villain in theory, but I remember the day I started s
The Mafia And The HR Chapter Thirty Two
Xena RemingtonI smiled a little when Axel got out of the car to open my side of the door. I held on to his hand as he helped me out of the car. I could see his parents from my peripheral vision, standing and waiting for us on the porch.I feel Axel’s hand snake around my waist, pulling me into his heated body as we walked towards his parents, who had huge grins on their faces. I look up at Axel who places a small kiss on my head and murmurs to me, “You’ve got this. They are going to love you.”“Hello! You must be Xena.” Axel’s mom hugged me lightly before taking a good look at my face, “Such a pretty face.” She gushed, making me blush at the compliment.“Hello, I’ve heard so much about you. I am a huge fan of your artwork.” I tell her genuinely, which makes her smile radiantly.I saw so many glimpses of her in Axel. She could easily be one of the most beautiful women ever. Growing up, I heard a lot about Sienna Reed’s beauty and her love story with Arthur Lancaster. She turned out to

Xena Remington“It’s not going to happen? Did Asher cancel his own wedding?” I ask curiously as to why haven’t heard anything about this.“Oh no sweetheart, he is still under the impression that it’s happening.” She says as she laughs and I just stare at her kind of impressed. It’s good that these stubborn Lancaster men have a mother like her. They need someone to keep them anchored and yell at them when they go out of control or make bad decisions.“So how will you make him not go through with it?” I ask, not knowing who is more stubborn Asher or his mother. But based on the way she talks, I am going to guess it’s the latter.“Well, I am sure I’ll find a girl from him, and even if I don’t I can always pretend to die so he doesn’t go through with it.” She says casually, making my eyes widen.No wonder Asher is so dramatic.“Yeah, that sounds easy,” I say, making her laugh as she gives me a side hug.“Oh Xena, you have no idea how happy I am to meet you. I thought Axel was never going

Xena RemingtonAs we headed up to the room, Axel’s huge palm resting on the small of my back led me to his childhood bedroom which kind of made me feel giddy thinking about how I might get a look at what Axel used to be like during his teen years.As he opened the door to his room my excited smile dropped when I saw the exact same room that he has back home. Literally, nothing was different except this room was pastel and decorated. I expected to see posters and embarrassing high school pictures but sadly I saw none of that.It was a total buzzkill.“Please don’t tell me this was your childhood room. This is such a sophisticated place.” I say looking at the different accents of colour and decoration in the room.The room definitely had a woman’s touch. It didn’t seem like a bachelor pad. It felt like a couple’s bedroom. I felt a pang of jealousy in my stomach which I forcibly swallowed, convincing myself to think that maybe his mother decorated his room.Yeah right.“Yeah, I haven’t e
The Mafia And The HR Chapter Thirty Five
Axel Lancaster When we entered the room, initially I thought it was a bad idea to have Xena here because as soon as I crossed the threshold of my door, flashes of my entire relationship with Tiffany went through my mind. Including the last conversation I had with her when my mom brought her back and she begged for my forgiveness saying how she didn’t have a choice, that she was just following orders from her boss and that she didn’t know she was going to end up falling for me.I still remember how there was a moment when I was about to forgive her when Asher interrupted her and brought me back to my senses. After that moment in my life, never have I, even for a second gone soft on anyone. It just wasn’t worth it. My eyes flickered to Xena, who was on her phone, talking to Zara, telling her how things went. But now that we have started settling in the room, I think Xena is unknowingly helping me a lot when it comes to keeping my mind off the haunting thoughts of my traitor of an ex
