Xena RemingtonI knocked on Axel’s cabin door twice, waiting for his reply. I hear a faint ‘come in’ as I brace myself with the script that I went over with Zara for over an hour so that I don’t miss out on important points while talking to Axel. “Hey, I thought I should bring by the monthly expense report, I didn’t find any suspicious activity on it but you can go through it once to be thoroughly sure,” I tell him as I see him hold up a finger as he continues typing away on his laptop.I breathe in as I see the top three buttons of his white shirt, giving me a clear view of his magnificent and chiselled chest. His suit jacket was thrown on the chair in front of him, his tie hung loose around his neck as he ran his hand through his already dishelmed messy brown hair. He looked tired, tense and busy. I don’t think this was a good time to have this talk with him. It seemed like he had many important things to work on and I should disturb him and give him new problems. I hated being a

Chapter Fifty
Xena RemingtonThree months ago, I was completely heartbroken over a man who didn’t like me back and kept using me. Now, I am completely shattered, over a man who doesn’t want me or love me the way I love him. A perfect man who treats me well and has never hurt my feelings the way Jerold used to keep breaking my heart every single day.So for obvious reasons, this heartbreak hurts more than anything in the world.My life has become very monotonous now, I come to my office, I work, I avoid Jerold and Axel, I no longer have to be Axel’s ‘trusted advisor’ so I was demoted again to the company’s HR which obviously means that I wouldn’t be earning as much as I earned in the past three months.Sadly, I became accustomed to a certain lifestyle, but now I have to figure out a way to pay Axel back. He paid off each and every single debt I had. For now, even though I was heartbroken, I was relaxed. Not worried about someone coming to my place and evicting me or taking my house away, I was rela

Chapter Fifty One
Xena Remington“Oh hey, dude! What’s up?” I ‘sup’ him like a chill person but his angry expression doesn’t change even after he hears me greet him in such a cool way.“What. Was. He. Doing. Here.” He says making me bite my lip as I try to think of a reason.My car broke down.No. what?My dog ate my homework.Oh god, I am screwed.“We are…. Friends.” I say very slowly but he doesn’t buy that and continues staring at me, intimidating the shit out of me.“Why was he here doll?” his deep stern voice sent shivers down my spine as I finally manage to look him in his eyes.“From what I recall from our earlier conversation, I am not answerable to you anymore about anything,” I say with my head held high but all my confidence goes away the minute he starts walking towards me.“Sweetheart, just because we are not going to see or talk to each other, doesn’t mean that I will let you date a manwhore who is also a very dangerous person. There is a reason why I thought you should stay away from my

Chapter Fifty Two
Xena RemingtonAfter a long hot shower and a glass of wine, I finally wear my baggy sweatpants and my triple xl t-shirt, also wrapping my soft comforter around me as I sat down alone in front of my giant TV on the huge couch.Yes, when I initially bought the house, Jerold wanted it to appear very posh and rich because he wanted to bring home a lot of clients. When we were buying these things on EMI, I obviously assumed that we were both going to chip in.But when he left he made it clear that it all belonged to me and I was the one who had to pay for everything. I was very angry because this house is very big for just one person. I assumed I would be starting my family here with two kids and a husband so it made sense, but now I feel very lonely.Thankfully Axel had paid off each and every bill that I had pending for over the next twenty years of my life but I still have to repay Axel, even if he doesn’t ask for it. But I have to admit, my anxiety has completely vanished because I no

Chapter Fifty Three
Xena Remington“Okay, this is crazy, why are we following him around? I swear to god. Our lives used to be so boring and mundane, now we are stalking Georgina’s boyfriend!” Zara exhales as I continue following Georgina’s boyfriend around.“We have to break them up. Somehow. Otherwise, Archer will never let me go ahead with my plan.” I say as I park in the parking lot of Toby’s office. It was a small set-up, with a few people working under him. His office was thankfully on the ground floor of the building.The good thing was that he doesn’t know me or Zara. He hasn’t seen our faces ever, he has probably heard our names but I doubt Georgina gave a lot of information about us to him. Thankfully Archer helped me out with the basic information about Toby so I can break them up but sadly I didn’t have any plan. I was just going to wing it.Should be easy, right?“Okay, but I thought Georgina was your friend? Why are you trying to break them up?” Zara asks me with concern laced in her voice

Chapter Fifty Four
Xena RemingtonI was standing outside Axel’s house for five minutes now. Zara dropped me here and told me not to come home till I have the chat with Axel. I still sometimes struggle to understand how my life ended up becoming so eventful and crazy.I continued contemplating whether to go inside and talk to Axel in his house, where the two of us would probably be alone. Sadly, I don’t think I have a choice. I have to go inside and convince Axel to go along with my plan. I huff loudly as the security guard, Steven, greets me and asks me why I haven’t been coming around. I tell him I’ve been busy, and not in the mood to discuss my sad life right now. I enter the familiar surrounding as I follow Steven inside the huge living room of the penthouse. I groan when I realize Mrs Costanza isn’t around, which means when Axel comes down, it would be just the two of us alone in this big house.“He’ll be down in five minutes, he is taking a shower. Shall I ask the housekeeper to bring you some ref

Chapter Fifty Five
Xena Remington Unknown number: HelloI stare at the message, wondering who was texting me at 1 am at night. I stared at the message, wondering if I should reply to this message or not.Unknown number: its me, Tiffany. Jace said you wanted to talk to me about Axel.My heart started beating as soon as I saw the name ‘Tiffany’ flash on my phone. I quickly sent Zara a screenshot of her message, hoping she would come online but I knew she dozes off the minute the clock strikes 12.Me: Yes, can we meet and talk?My hold my chest as I continue staring at the screen, watching the ‘typing’ symbol appearing at the bottom of the screen.Unknown number: sure but what about Asher?Me: don’t worry, my friend is going to stall him at his place so he will never know that we met. Also we can choose a safe place to meet.Unknown number: do you mind coming to my house?Me: Axel would kill me if I do that and I know he will find out somehow.Unknown number: you are right. What do you suggest? Somehow I

Chapter Fifty Six
Xena Remington “So, remember, you have to-“ I start giving Axel instructions again but he waves me off.“Sweetheart, you know the only way ‘your’ plan is going to work is if I do everything my way?” he asks me but I wasn’t convinced.“Axel, we have to make sure toby breaks up with Georgina. This is for your brother.” I remind him but he just laughs.“Yes, I know. Which is why you need to remember that you are my girlfriend and play along with everything that I do.” I feel my heartbeat increase at his words.“Wait, what are you going to do?” I ask nervously. Not sure if I can handle having Axel's big and rough hands on me.“You’ll see but remember, you have to play along. Okay?” he asks me as we continue setting the table. Axel sent Mrs Costanza home so that Toby would let his guard down with fewer people. “Also, the woman who is coming here is for Toby. So not that you would, but you cannot hit on her.” I tell him as I try to call Melissa to ask her where she has reached.“Doll, I c

Chapter Fifty Seven
Xena RemingtonI sit there nervously beside Axel as they welcome Toby in. I wanted to speak but after the shock Asher gave me when he showed up and told me about how he knows I met with Tiffany, I am scared that he will tell Axel about it and screw up the whole plan.Also, Axel would hate me for interfering in his life when he specifically warned me not to. Thankfully I didn’t have to do much as Asher was being very helpful when it came to the operation breakup. He was sitting at the head of the table and controlling the entire conversation. I felt like Axel and Asher had a telepathic bond because they kept completing each other’s sentences.Melissa was sitting right in front of me so I could basically see how she was subtly flirting with Toby who actually thought someone like Melissa was flirting with him and didn’t think something fishy was going on. Because let’s face it, he only landed Georgina after years of grovelling for a date.He wasn’t terrible looking but his personality wa

Chapter Fifty Eight
Xena Remington I hear a knock on my door while I was making my morning coffee. Images of Axel's hands on me started flashing in my head making the familiar beat in my core return. I hated how no matter how hard I tried to stay away from that man. It never worked for me. I was somehow always drawn to him. I knew Axel will stop the minute I put my foot down and told him I don’t want him anymore but somehow I can never say it to him. The minute his hands touch my body, my brain becomes all mushy.Damn it.I curse at myself as I start the coffee machine before heading towards the door. It was probably my mailman or the neighbour’s kid wondering if I have time to play or not. Considering it's Sunday, I probably can hang out with him for some time. His mom and I get along so well that I always get to hear some or the other gossip.I open the door only for my eyes to meet someone’s broad shoulder and chest. I crane my neck up to see Archer Lancaster standing in front of me. I move aside to
