"What was your life back then?" Xavier didn't know why he asked that. Not that he's interested to know about her life and her past, it just slipped in his mouth and it was too late for him to take it back."My life?" she softly asked. A bitter smile spread across her lips. "I think I've already said it to you before, but my life before was actually too boring. My nannies used to tell me how beautiful the world is. I used to envy them because I wasn't able to come and see it myself."She took a deep breath as the memories flashed through her mind. She remembered her childhood days in Italy where she would spend her days trying to talk to her father and play with him, but her father did not just want to ever see her. Although he supported her with all she needed starting from her health, education, and even all the stuff she wanted, Margarette was never satisfied. She had a lot of toys, beautiful dresses, and even limited edition branded bags and shoes—she got it all. But that is not wha

It was such a long night for the both of them. Their first night as a married couple didn't go to disappointment. They spent it making love until their body eventually gave up and went to sleep.She was as aroused as him. He could blame it on the wine, but he was so horny last night he couldn't control it. He was like a beast with a bitch in heat. Both of them were burned in a flame of lust and desire as they made love a couple of times. Xavier was satisfied beyond his expectation. It was definitely the best night he had ever had. He fucked her until there was no left energy within him. He fucked her until he can no longer cum. "Hmm..." a silent moan suddenly filled the quiet and peaceful room. His brows furrowed whilst his eyes were closed, still sleeping. He could feel something a little heavy moving above him and moaning lightly.His eyes snapped open in realisation. "W-What the..."His lips parted upon seeing her already awake and... moving."Margarette, what do you think you're

Margarette was debating whether to push him away or give in. He was kissing her, slowly and carefully; sucking her bottom lip gently before licking it. His hands were on her waist, keeping her in place as he shoved his tongue inside her mouth. She moaned. He tasted like her favourite strawberry cake. His kisses were too different from how he would usually kiss her. He's being gentle today, as if she'll break if he puts pressure on kissing her. She closed her eyes, getting drowned by his kisses. Her weeks wobbled up a little as if he sucked her energy away. He immediately wrapped his arms around her small body and pulled her to him. She arched her back as she tiptoed. The scene was so beautiful and intimate that people who might see them would squeal in adoration. They look like a real couple having an intimate moment.Xavier reluctantly pulled away when he noticed her getting out of breath. When he opened his eyes, it was burning with need. A need to have more of her."The cake didn't

"Why did you bring me here, then?" she asked quietly. Her heart throbbed imagining that this is where his mother died. For the first time since she met Xavier, a sad smile crept to his face. He quickly looked away and averted his gaze to the calm sea.He shrugged off his shoulders. "I don't know."He actually didn't know he brought her to this place. This place was special to him because this is where his beloved mother last lived. This is where her last breath was taken away. Although this place is saddening, this was his comfort zone.He closed his eyes and let the cold wind sooth his skin. It was as if someone was caressing his check, his smile faltered.Xavier took a deep breath. "We were on our way back home from our trip in this country. Together with my family and I travelled across this place, but then an unexpected incident happened. We were ambushed. My father did his best to save us, but unfortunately, he wasn't able to save our mother. Our pregnant mother," he said bitterl

His sly remark made the older man go mad. The staff went and prepared the table for them. They're a group of wealthy gamblers. Xavier managed to provoke Mr. Alejandro before the game started, and the older man was eager to defeat Xavier for making him embarrassed in front of other people. But who was he kidding? No one can defeat an Ivanov."You're still a good player, Mr. Ivanov. I am impressed," Mrs. McClellan said with a wide grin, glancing briefly at Mr. Alejandro as if teasing him. The latter could only clench his jaws and glare blatantly at Xavier.Xavier shrugged off his shoulders and smirked. He glanced at Margarette who was sitting beside him. "It's just luck.""Yeah, right. A luck," Mr. Alejandro retorted, mocking Xavier. But he was unaffected by his words."Oh, stop being such a pussy, Mr. Alejandro. Let's just admit this young man is just so smart," Mrs. McClellan giggled. "If you are confident about your cards, then just bet all your assets now.""Nice try, woman," Alejand
