Without saying anything, Jack turned on the ignition and drove away. He drove for a few minutes in silence then pulled over in front of a restaurant. Xalia looked out the window to see if the area wasn't crowded and it wasn't. “It's okay. I checked before bringing you here, people barely come here.” Jack said and she turned to him. She nodded a little in response. “Here, just to be on a safer side,” he said as he picked up a cap. He tried to help her put it on but Xalia pulled away a little, surprised by his actions. “Here,” he said softly and handed it to her. She took it and put it on. He was being weird, he was being soft and nice which was strange to her. Jack has never treated her this way, he has never treated her like she mattered in anything. They both got out of the car and headed into the restaurant. They got in and Xalia
“I’m not leaving,” Zade said and she raised her brows. She tried to push him but he kept his balance and stared at her.“Well, okay then,” she said and pulled away from him. She walked into the bathroom and Zade stared at her as she did. He sat on her bed and waited for her to walk out. Xalia did minutes later and Zade turned to look at her. She had a towel wrapped around her chest. She was too drunk to care about Zade’s presence.“Xalia.” Zade suddenly called as she was about to walk into the closet and she turned to him.“Hmmm,” she replied, waiting for him to speak.“Come here,” he ordered and without hesitation, she stood in front of him and stared down at him. Being so close to Zade made a million thoughts run through his mind but as usual, he was trying hard to fight them. Xalia was staring down at him, waiting for him to speak. She might be drunk but she was still a little bit conscious of everything going on. She waited for Zade to speak but he didn't so she spoke up.“Do
“Why have you been drinking?” Zade asked instead and Xalia stared at him in disbelief.“Oh, so you are trying to make it seem like I am crazy? Like I am imagining all these and I didn't just see you with her? I was drinking because that was the way I could cope with everything when you were not with me.” she yelled at him. She sniffed and wiped her tears as Zade kept staring at her.“She came to accuse me of kidnapping her and playing a dumb game with her life. Then she said she would get me arrested for it or tell everyone I kidnapped her. I told her I didn't care and she was upset. She kissed my cheek because she saw you, it was nothing.” Zade explained and Xalia wanted to ask further questions, know more details but she accepted it and just nodded in response. She was scared knowing more would hurt her and besides, he doesn't seem to have any reason to lie. “Why were you drinking?” Zade asked softly, taking a step closer to her. He cupped her cheek with one hand and used his fr
Xalia looked around as they headed in, they were in a mansion. They entered the ballroom and as usual, gained attention. Due to the stares, Xalia dug her nails deeper into his skin and he felt the pain. Instead of groaning or saying something about it, he turned to look at her. She was looking around, tense and nervous. He could tell just by staring at her. “Everyone looks scary,” she muttered and looked at Zade, she had no idea he was staring at her. Their eyes met and she got distracted for a few seconds. Zade found her statement interesting and wanted to know the reason why everyone looked scary to her.“Why?” he asked and she turned in a direction.“They all have heavy dresses on with makeups and look at that woman over there, she looks like she got hit by a makeup truck,” she said and Zade stared at the woman, it was true though. “And look at that man in a grey suit, he looks like he is about to shit himself because he is talking to someone richer than him,” she added and Za
It was finally the day of the first grand party of the season and everyone was excited. It was the talk of the city and Xalia couldn't help but wonder how she had never heard of it before. The city has been so busy, everyone has had something to do. Xalia was just at home all day, watching television and updates about the grand party, and at the same time, nervous and excited about it. She just couldn't wait to see how it is, it would be her first time. A few hours before the party, a stylist and the maids showed up as usual to get her ready for it. They were done after a couple of hours and she was dressed when the dress was delivered. Xalia was satisfied with her look and smiled at her reflection. She looked pretty. “Should we help you down the stairs, ma’am?” One of the maids asked as she shook her head in response.“No, thank you. I will be down when I am ready,” she replied and they all bowed before walking out. She needed more time to admire herself. As she stared at her
As Xalia waited for Zade to walk out of the office, she looked up from her hand and looked around. She stared at the hallway for a few seconds and noticed how empty it was. She didn't think too much about it because they were at the private wing, and it was quite normal. She was about to stare down at her phone when she noticed a patient walking out of a ward. It was a man, a huge man. He was in a hospital dress. He turned in her direction and Xalia kept staring at him. They both stared at each other for a few seconds and she noticed something odd about him. He didn't look like a patient, nor does he look sick. He looks healthy. As she stared at him, she recalled what had happened at the club days ago and she panicked. Without hesitation, she stood up and rushed into the doctor’s office. The doctor and Zade turned to her and she paused seeing the doctor and Zade. Zade had an IV fluid in his hand and the fluid was weird. “Get out.” Zade snapped at her and she flinched. “No. I…
Xalia smiled at the doctor a little before walking out of his office. She was done and was given the proper meds she would need to feel better.The guard escorted her out of the hospital till they got to the car. Xalia exhaled heavily and leaned in the seat with her eyes closed. She was relieved,
NEW YORK CITY“Please smile,” Emily whispered to Jack as they stood in front of the reporters. Multiple pictures of them were taken as they walked elegantly into the hall. It was a little party and press conference for the rebranding of Xalia’s company. The news about her death finally went viral
Xalia blinked back her tears and nodded slowly. She sniffed and looked away from him for a few seconds. He is right though, even her father doesn't care about her, not to mention the man she is carrying his child or her best friend. “Where are you going?” she asked instead as she turned to him. Sh
Xalia breathed heavily with tears streaming down her cheeks as she stared at the guy in her presence, holding her gaze. She looked at the burning building and then back at him.“What the fuck was that?” she screamed in tears. “What?” he asked and glanced at the building. He was too relaxed which
