Chapter 41
Xavier's POV: Things just got real. I was hoping this wouldn't happen. But in a way, I knew it would. Dionne stands in the middle of the ring as King stands at the side, everyone staying as quiet as possible. Nobody ever speaks when the boss or their partner are at the center of attention, so they all stay quiet. "What'd you say?" Dionne says, inching toward her. "I said that was nothing." Kendall replies. "You want me to show you what I can do?" Dionne says, obvious anger in her tone. Just then, the door opens and Kayno comes through the door. "What's going on here?" Kayno asks, looking at the ring where Dionne's standing. "Kendall?" he asks, as I leave a long kiss on my baby's forehead. "Kendall?!" he whispers violently, realizing what's happening. "I need to stop her. Dionne's gonna kill her if she gets her in that ring." I say kissing Christine again. "You got her car seat?" I ask. "Installed it before I left the house." "You be careful with my child. If I come home and-

Dionne's POV: Xavier's been downstairs for hours. I don't know what he's doing, but I don't really care. Christine starts crying in her crib in her nursery, so I get up and I pick her up and I try to rock her back to sleep, but she's still whining. "Probably needs to be changed." I whisper to myself. I put her on her changing table in her crib, and I get a diaper and baby wipes to change her. "God, you stink." I say, smiling and scrunching my nose. When I finish changing her, I put it inside a diaper disposal bag and I go downstairs to get rid of it. When I get downstairs, carrying Christine, I throw away her diaper and I get a bottle of water, then I go upstairs without looking over at Xavier. I go to my old room and I sit on my bed, watching "The Flash" as I feed Christine. After a couple minutes of nursing her, I hear a soft knock on the door, a deep, smooth voice coming from behind it. "Can you open the door?" Xavier says. "Come in. I'm feeding right now."I say plainly as my e

I finish getting dressed and I go downstairs and there's no seats next to Xavier, so I look around and there's a free seat over by the girls, so I walk over to them and I sit down, all of them with beers in their hands. "Ayo, Kay!" Xavier calls through all the chatter. "Beer?" Kayno asks, digging one out of the cooler. He tosses it over to Xavier and he catches it with his strong hands, his muscles flexing when he catches it and pops it open with his teeth. Z rolls a blunt and Xavier throws him a lighter to light it up with and we all talk, the living room buzzing with laughs from the boys and giggles from the girls, watching their men from across the room. "My God. He's drop dead gorgeous. I can't stop thinking about how good he is." Amber says, practically drooling over Kayno as he nudges Z's arm. "You guys, I kid you not, he knows how to get it done. If someone asked me who the best dick I've ever had came from, it would be him." Riley says, nodding her head. "I think we're ma

6 weeks later Xavier's POV I sit in bed while Dionne's in the shower and I play with Christine, poking her stomach and kissing her cheeks. She smiles a big smile at me and I pick her up and she sneezes. She feels another one coming so she breathes in sharply and lets it go, then does it again and sneezes in my face, making me laugh and jerk back a little. "Bless you, mi amor {my love}." I say, kissing her face. "You need a bath and a hair wash, baby." I say to her, running my fingers over her little head, holding it up with my other hand. Dionne gets out of the shower as I lie the baby back to check her diaper. "She okay?" Dionne asks, walking to the bed to smile and kiss the baby. "She just needs a bath, and daddy's gonna get her one." I say in a high voice. I go to the bathroom and I run a warm bath for the baby, sitting her baby bather in the bathtub to sit her in it. When I'm finished running her bubble bath, I go into the room to get her undressed, then I carefully carry her

Dionne's POV: After Mom and the boys leave, Mark and Riley agree to keep the baby for a while for us. I tell them how to fix her bottles and I give them directions to where her onesies, diapers, and baby wipes are, just in case they need them, and me and Xavier go upstairs, shutting and locking the door behind us. I take my clothes off to get in the shower and I catch a glimpse of my stomach in the mirror. "Wow. It's like I never had the baby." I say, turning to analyze every angle. Xavier comes behind me, naked, and he puts his chin on my shoulder, wrapping his arms around my stomach as he sighs. "You think Christine would act out if she had another sibling .... or three?" "Three?" I scoff. "No way am I pushing out three more babies just for them to come looking like you." I say jokingly."Besides, Christine gave me enough pain to last a lifetime." "I can give you some other kind of pain. The kind that feels good." My stomach boils with need when those words slip out of his mouth.

I wake up in the morning in an empty bed. Christine's still asleep, or else she'd be whining in her crib. I slip on a shirt and I walk out of the room to find Xavier's office door closed with light coming from beneath the door. I walk in and he has a pained expression on his face. "Xavier, what's the matter?" I say, walking behind his desk to sit on his lap. He doesn't say anything as he sits there, staring off. "Xavier, you can talk to me, I promise." I reassure him as I rub his cheek, standing next to him. He suddenly starts crying, making me walk in front of him to straddle his lap and hug him back. "Let it out baby. Let it out." I say, letting him cry on my chest. He hugs me tight, burying his face in my shirt. I run my fingers through his hair, soothing him, and he starts to sniffle, calming down while he lets me go. "Can we talk now? Do you want to talk about it?" I ask him, raking my fingers through his hair, pushing it back from his face. "There was a ... a bombing in Las V

Xavier looks at me blinking back anger, but he can't keep it in as a lethal look paints across his face. 'I'm gonna fucking kill him." he says, looking straight into my eyes, letting me know he's completely serious. "I'm serious, Dionne. Don't you try and stop me because I don't know what I'll do to you if you're caught in the crossfire. You take our child and don't come anywhere near me and Liam because today, he's dying by the hands of me. I'm not fucking joking." he says, giving Christine to me and grabbing his pistol, walking out of his office to find Liam. I go downstairs to warn the others as they sit in the living room eating. "Xavier's gonna kill Liam." I say, crying as I rock with Christine. "Are you fucking serious?" Kayno says, shocked. "We need to stop him-" 'We can't. Xavier's a monster when he's angry. Whatever Liam's done, he deserves what Xavier's giving him. Liam takes it too far with Xavier and if he says he's gonna kill him, he's going to, and he'll kill anyone

Xavier scans the room for any cameras and he finds one in the corner of the room, one in the corner on the ceiling of the bathroom, one in the shower, and one in the closet. "He had the whole room bugged." Xavier says, sighing and plopping down on the bed, running both his hands through his hair with his head down. "I should've known." Xavier says, closing his eyes with regret lacing them. "You couldn't have." I say, putting Christine down and walking over to sit on the bed and rub the back of his neck with my thumb. "But I could've, Dionne." he says, shaking his head. "The moment you said you were uncomfortable with him, I should've taken every precaution I could to keep you safe, and comfortable. But I made things spiral. I'm sorry." "Xavier you have nothing to apologize for. You can't carry all that unnecessary weight on your shoulders, it's only gonna stress you. This was never your fault, do you understand me?" I say, rubbing his back with my eyebrow arched up at him. He looks

Xavier's POV: We arrive at the ball and I carry Christine on my arm as I pocket my keys, me and Dionne walking in, cameras flashing and paparazzi asking questions. When we enter the ballroom, Dionne smiles and lets go of my arm, running into the crowd. "Dionne?" I say, confused, a small sense of urgency in my tone. I follow her in and she hugs her brother, squealing in excitement. "Anthony!" she says, kicking her feet excitedly. "It hasn't been that long, Dionne." he says, smiling. "Still! I miss you guys every time you leave." she says, getting down and fixing her dress. "Patrick, you look nice. Real handsome." "For the first time ever." Anthony snickers, him and Dionne picking at him. "Yeah, yeah. This look took me two hours, so this is the best Patrick you're gonna get." he says, chuckling. "Xavier." Anthony says, shaking my hand. "Anthony. How's ruling going for you?" "Man, it's a struggle, I don't see how you make it out alive every day." he says, rubbing the back of his

Chapter 50
We walk to the bathroom and we quietly enter, careful not to let anyone hear us. We listen in on the conversation that starts. "Kendall? Why are you here?" Dionne asks, standing at the mirror, checking her makeup and washing her hands. "Same as everyone here. I'm a part of this mafia too. You forgot?" "No. I just don't care." Damnit. Dionne and that smart mouth *internally slaps forehead *. Kendall pushes the knife to her side and my eyes dart to the hand she's holding it with. "Xavier loved me first, y'know." Kendall says. Dionne sighs and turns around. "Kendall, it doesn't matter. He's moved on. He's happy now. You should try and do the same. I don't care, okay? We're not gonna talk about this because as I've mentioned sixty times already, I really don't care. Now if you'll excuse me, my husband and daughter are waiting." she says, walking by her. In a fit of rage, Kendall swings the knife at Dionne, sending my mind into fight or flight mode. I pounce out and I kick Kendall in
