WRONGFULLY HIS CHAPTER 29: HER ANSWER (FINALE)
ATHENA'S POVI didn’t expect to cry immediately; I’m not a dramatic weeper, I like to think my tears are only for my pillow to see. ... But they fall down my eyes anyway while I laugh and cover my mouth, and then drop my hand.“Yes,” I tell him. “Yes, Xander. Yes.”Relief washes over his face so visibly and he lets out a breath then laughs.His hands shake when he takes mine----- which is ridiculous because he signs billion dollar papers with does hands----- and he slides the ring onto my finger, fitting me just perfectly.Finally he stands back up, and I am on my feet half a second later when his hands come to my face, pulling me into a kiss while my hands curl at the back of his neck.... Actually I think even the babies feel the kiss right now."I love you," he whispers.“I love you.”He smiles then, kissing all over my face like I'd just told him something exciting.-------------------Eventually we sit down on the cushion, and he tucks the blanket around my legs then slides do
WRONGFULLY HIS CHAPTER 28: A REAL PROPOSAL
ATHENA'S POVWeeks pass and... I don’t know when I started living and breathing... differently in this penthouse.I've stopped feeling like I'm in a cage, and Xander...... Xander is just sweet.My room isn't locked from outside anymore and guards don't stay by my door side anymore, instead they stay at a 'respectable' distance------ as Xander calls it.Thinking about his confession just weeks ago make me blush.Believe me when I say we still argue from time to time, but at least it's for trivial things like baby clothes.You see on Monday this week, we check out the gender of our babies, and found out that we're expecting boys.Once we were out of the hospital, Xander insisted on taking 'us' shopping; but that's not the problem.The issue started when he began threatening to fire the clerk if he didn't get him baby suits.BABY SUITS!What kind of babies wear suits?!!I asked Xander that, but he said his kids.Urgh, sometimes I wonder where that man's reasoning comes from.... But I l
WRONGFULLY HIS CHAPTER 27: THE KITCHEN FLOOR
XANDER'S POVThe moment I'm home and have stepped out of the elevator, one of the guards walk up to me immediately.“Sir? We have a situation.”"Later," I tell him and head to the kitchen.Athena would love it if I show up with pickles along with the flowers."No, Sir, wait." The man calls out to me just as I walk right in to the kitchen.Then I pause, startled by the sight in front of me.There in the kitchen, there's a chef’s knife on the floor, and Veronica sprawled on the tiles with one hand just under her cheek while blood seeps out of her forehead.Water is spilt over the marble Island and soapy foam is also on the floor."Where's my fiancé," I growl at the guard, turning and gripping him by the scruff of his shirt.Athena's heavily pregnant; if Veronica could be in this state then-----Panic hits me hard, and I slam the guard to the door again, not even realising when I'd slammed him to it the first time."Where is she?""She's... she's..." He struggles to answer."WHERE?""In
WRONGFULLY HIS CHAPTER 26: POWER SHIFT AND… CHECKMATE
XANDER'S POVThe elevator to my father’s private floor is rather silent except for the occasional buzz of electricity. When the doors slide open, I walk over to his office while holding the black leather dossier in my hand.... And I find Richard, standing at the window, with his hands behind his back."You’re early,” he says without turning to look at me.Ignoring him, I step forward and drop the dossier onto his desk. “What’s this?” he asks, narrowing his eyes at it.However I don't reply him, and so he reaches his hands out and flips the cover... page after page.And what he sees are receipts and photocopies of offshore accounts, shell corporations, political wire transfers and... hell, the entire rotten architecture of his empire. Suddenly he looks up, with his mouth set in a hard line. “You’ve been busy.”“I hired the best forensic accountants in the country,” I reply. “They worked through the night. And if I make just one phone call, all these goes to the SEC, internation
WRONGFULLY HIS CHAPTER 25: DIGGING UP THE DIRT
XANDER'S POVIt’s after midnight and the city below glitters like a tiny circuit board through the penthouse windows. From here, I can see every blinking light, every shadowed alley, but not the rot I want to get rid of from my own family.I lean over the desk with my phone pressed to my ear, “I don’t care how much it costs.” “I want every account, wire transfer and every shell company Richard Elias Knight has touched in the last forty years found out. Leave nothing out; offshore, domestic, political… find all of it.”There's a pause, then a female voice answers, “We are already assembling a team of forensic accountants Sir. We’ll dig thoroughly.”“Good,” I murmur. “And the private investigators?”“They’re with us, they know this is high priority.”I end the call then and stare at the skyline from through the windows. -----------------I find Athena in the penthouse kitchen, wearing one of my shirts and a wary look on her face. “You didn’t come to bed,” she says softly.“Couldn’t
WRONGFULLY HIS CHAPTER 24: THE BILLIONAIRE’S WEIRDEST TASK YET
XANDER’S POVI’ve negotiated billion- dollar deals at dawn, dissolved empires with a single call, and buried rivals without ever needing to lift a damn finger.... But nothing------ and I mean nothing------ has prepared me for the absolute insanity of a hormonal, pregnant Athena.It’s 3:07 a.m, and I’m standing in my penthouse kitchen in a black hoodie and sweatpants, watching my personal chef, Gustavo, tremble as he carefully prepares what can only be described as a culinary blasphemy of the worst kind.How on earth can she want to eat that?“She said she wants the peanut butter swirl on the jalapeño- flavored ice cream,” I mutter, pacing back and forth behind him.“Si, Señor Knight, I am trying,” Gustavo whispers, his forehead now coated in sweat.“And the pickles?” I ask, eyeing the counter. “She said they have to be chilled------ not cold, chilled------ and they need to be snappy, not soggy.”Gustavo nods vigorously. “The pickles are from a German barrel batch, flown in last week
