The Billionaire Contract のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

...Xavien POV...I have just punched a man, not just anyone; it is Raymond Young. I have wanting to put a hand full of knuckles in his face for quite some time now. The man is nothing better than a foul mouth pig, mostly towards women. The second I heard him say that he is going to ride Mekayla like a pony, something just snapped inside of me. I did not even hesitate to connect my fist to his face. Now to say that the punch did not hurt like a bitch would be a lie, for I gave it all I had.And it is with satisfaction on my face that I watch him stumble and fall against the wall. It takes all off me not to punch the asshole again. So I just leave him with a friendly warning."Next time, I break your jaw."Before he can say another word, I disappear inside the shop to fetch my things. In little less than a minute, I find myself sitting in my truck, trying to calm my racing heart down.The moment my fist connected with Raymond's face, I realized that I have a p

...Xavien POV...Now that was a close call, not that I don't mind seeing her, but I wonder what has got her so spooked. And why was she crying? It breaks my heart to see her hurt; I wish I could pull her in my arms and take the edge of the pain that is written all over her gorgeous face. Though she did say she was going on a date, maybe she is just nervous about that.It does not make sense; why would she flirt with me if she is seeing someone else. I hate to think that she might be like her sister, which we all know of the rumors that had been going around her. Maybe if I moved a bit faster, it would be me that she is spending tonight with.But I cannot dwell on things that I have no control over. What I have control over is the ache in my heart, and what better way to take the pain away than drowning yourself in your sorrows. So I do what I rarely do around here, I stop at the local bar to have a beer before I head home.And do I regret coming here for it is pa

...Xavien POV...If I did not think that I can get anymore overwhelmed by her, she brings me to my knees again as she goes and does that. As I watch her bite into her lip, every sensation in my body shoots straight to my core. I no longer have just a desire to protect her, but there is a far greater desire that wants me to make her mine. And to make it even more of a torture is the way she sways those hips from side to side. This time it is me that bites into my lips and a soft growl escapes my lips.But as I get lost in the fantasy that is her, I see Tyler come from the other side of the floor. He is heading straight for her. I know I said that I should not get involved. Well, Mr. Winters is leaving me with no other choice. So I find myself heading in the same direction. And as I hear their voices, I come running outside.I feel an incredible rage consume my body as I see Tyler grab Mekayla by the arm so hard that she shouts out in pain. I thought this man would list

…Xavien POV…At this time of year, we all get lost in reruns of The Grinch, that god ugly man that comes to steal Christmas. But then there is Scrooge, the ghost of the past, the present, and the future. Well, the question here is, did she come to steal Christmas, or is she a ghost of my past? Whichever one, she is definitely not welcome. My present is firmly in place, and the only woman I see in my future is Mekayla. Yeah, I am being a bit optimistic, but we have become fairly closer tonight...Until now...And then my present becomes even more real, for she has spotted me and is now making her way over here. I guess if I went and hid away, someone would have told her where to find me anyway. I am just relieved that Mekayla did not see her with me, but then again, it is quite a nasty thing to do, given who she is. My father would have frowned at my behavior and told me to play nice as he always reminded me so very often.Then she is finally right in fron

...Xavien POV...Why does Mekayla keep running away from me? We have this connection; I can feel it. It is burning deep inside the inner passages of my heart. She has touched my soul in such a gentle way; all I desire is to be near her all the time. This playboy with the ego and cocky smile has been brought to his knees by this exquisite beauty. I do not know when we will be together again, but it has already been too long.Did seeing me with Rebecca really have such an impact on her? I did not intentionally hurt her; I would never do such a thing to her. She needs to be loved and protected. I want to be the man that wraps his arms protectively around her shoulders, morning, day, and night.But now I have Rebecca waiting for me at home. I still do not know why she is here. I am going to find out the minute I set my foot through that door. I want her to leave; she is only messing up my life. I have a fairly good idea why she has made it all the way out here, but I want
