A sudden vibration jolted us apart. His phone shook violently in his pocket. 

I was irritated by the interruption. 

Why was I annoyed by the interruption? 

Oh dear. 

Something is brooding in me—these warm feelings. 

I cannot like my fake husband. I should not.

  • Xavier my Nemesis!    CHAPTER 46 Second Choice

    A sudden vibration jolted us apart. His phone shook violently in his pocket.I was irritated by the interruption.Why was I annoyed by the interruption?Oh dear.Something is brooding in me—these warm feelings.I cannot like my fake husband. I should not.But as I stared at him as he paced around, listening to whoever he was talking to on the phone, I couldn’t help but take a good look at him.His hands were in his hair, ruffling it as he listened and barely spoke on the phone. He wore a white button-down shirt with beige-coloured pants.A few buttons were left open, exposing his chiseled chest, and my breath caught as I ogled him.His lips were starting to move in response to the person on the line. I traced every move with my eyes

  • Xavier my Nemesis!    CHAPTER 45 Video Game

    I woke up to laughter.Not the soft, polite kind. The loud, unrestrained kind that made me immediately frown beneath the blanket.My eyes remained closed. For a few seconds, I didn’t know where I was.Then I remembered.Lake Como. The hotel suite. My period.The cramps that had finally allowed me to fall asleep after spending most of the day making me miserable.And the person currently destroying my sleep.“Jason, you are absolutely cheating!”I frowned.Xavier?I slowly opened my eyes.“I’m not cheating.”His voice came from somewhere nearby.It sounded different.Not the calm, deep voice I was used to hearing. Not the one that always seemed to be in control. This one was lighter, playful even. “That’s exactly what a cheater would say,” the other voice replied.I sat up slowly.The pain in my stomach had dulled slightly, although my body still felt heavy and uncomfortable.I pushed the blanket away and listened.“I’m better than you. That’s all.”A loud burst of laughter followed.

  • Xavier my Nemesis!    CHAPTER 44 Sanitary Pads

    XAVIER’S POV“Are you getting all of those?”The chubby cashier asked, pointing at my cart, her eyes wide in shock.“Err… Yeah, I am,” I said in a way that sounded like a question.I handed her the paper bag filled with all types of sanitary pads. I already scrolled through the pharmacy section and picked a few painkillers she could use.After roaming around the store for several minutes without knowing for sure exactly what to buy, I ended up picking five different brands of sanitary pads, two brands of tampons, and even one menstrual cup, just to be on the safe side.I wasn’t sure which she liked or used frequently and for lack of any knowledge about how these things worked, I opted to buy almost everything I saw.The cashier took the products f

  • Xavier my Nemesis!    CHAPTER 43 Time of the Month

    We left the little souvenir shop still laughing over Xavier’s bubble incident.“I’m deleting that picture the moment you forget about it,” he muttered.“You wish.”“I do.”“I’ve already decided it’s going into my collection.”“What collection?”“The one where I gather evidence that Xavier Crest is, in fact, capable of having fun.”He gave me a sidelong glance.“I’ve made one mistake today.”“No.”“You’ve witnessed one.”I laughed.“Fair enough.”The farther we walked into Bellagio, the narrower the streets became.Every corner revealed another hidden treasure.Tiny family-owned boutiques displayed handmade leather journals, silk scarves, woven hats, and delicate jewelry crafted by local artisans.One shop had shelves lined entirely with hand-painted ceramic dishes.I stopped immediately.“They’re beautiful.”Each plate featured vibrant lemons, olive branches, and tiny blue flowers, carefully painted on.I picked up a small ceramic mug.“Look at this.”Xavier examined it.“It’s nice.”

  • Xavier my Nemesis!    CHAPTER 42 Bellagio

    “We’re here.”The captain’s voice gently pulled me from my thoughts.I lifted my head from Xavier’s shoulder so quickly that my neck protested.Heat rushed to my cheeks.Oh my God.I had actually fallen asleep on him.I sat upright so fast I nearly lost my balance.“I’m sorry!”Xavier looked completely unfazed.“For?”“I used you as a pillow.”He looked at me for a moment before answering.“Don’t worry you were lightweight, I’ve had worse.”Bellagio was somehow even prettier than I imagined.The moment we stepped off the boat, I felt like I’d walked straight into a postcard.The streets were narrow and paved with o

  • Xavier my Nemesis!    CHAPTER 41 Lake Como

    The drive itself felt like part of the adventure.I had barely fastened my seatbelt before my eyes were glued to the window.Italy looked nothing like New York.The roads curved gently around the mountains instead of stretching endlessly between towering skyscrapers. Small villages sat quietly along the hillsides, their stone houses dressed in warm shades of cream, terracotta and pale yellow. Now and then, colorful flower boxes spilled from balconies, making the entire place look like someone had carefully painted each building by hand.Even the air looked different—cleaner, lighter and absolutely brighter.The deeper we drove, the more impossible the scenery became.One moment I was admiring rows of beautiful trees swaying gently in the breeze, and the next, the lake suddenly appeared.My breath caught.“Oh…”It stretched farther than my eyes could follow.The water shimmered beneath the morning sun like liquid glass, reflecting the mountains that surrounded it. Elegant villas sat al

  • Xavier my Nemesis!    CHAPTER 6 Threat

    I was disheveled and trying to pull myself together when I saw Xavier strolling in with a bored expression on his face, two security guards walking alongside him. “Escort Miss Poe here out of these premises this instant” he said with no emotion to the security. I stood there, dumbfounded and tongu

  • Xavier my Nemesis!    CHAPTER 5 Rejection

    I left the office very aggravated. Who does Xavier think he is?..... To propose a flimsy fake marriage to me. Does he think I am one of his whores? I wondered to myself. I hadn’t even bothered to read the whole of the contract before I rejected it. I started to blame myself for saying no when he a

  • Xavier my Nemesis!    CHAPTER 4 Marriage Proposal

    I got to work a few minutes past resumption time because I slept through my alarm— it must be my body’s way of resting after my terrific weekend. My morning was rushed, I had to prepare hurriedly for work and still ended up arriving late. I rushed in, scared of the consequences of my boss arriving

  • Xavier my Nemesis!    CHAPTER 3 Emotional turmoil

    “Whoa! Breathe Sydney— what happened?!” My best friend’s voice filled with panic asked in perplexity. “What’s happening Syd?” She paused, “I’m beginning to get very worried— did someone die?” She asked worriedly. “Okay, breathe— in, out, yes just like that” she says trying to get me stable.
