Chapter 41Caroline had resumed her office after 3 days of rest. So far it was all good. They had informed Chelsea about her pregnancy but she promised she would not tell a soul. It was to make sure Caroline doesn't overwork and rest properly. The doctor had told Caroline to eat and drink anything she wanted but she had also informed her that she would be suffering from morning sickness so she should be prepared for that. But they failed to expect Xavier's reaction. He lost his shit when he didn't find Caroline in the bed one morning and found her doubled over the toilet. Caroline didn't know either to laugh at him, all panicked and shouting at everyone or feel pity for his misery. It took time for her to comfort him and make him understand that it would be the routine from now onwards. At Least for the first three months. The staff had cowardly gotten away due to his anger and finally they breathed in relief when Caroline signaled Rosa, their chef, to make lunch for her. The gua

Chapter 43"Caroline. What is it? What happened"? This time he asked in a tight tone. Something was not right. Nothing could break Caroline easily. "You tell me Xavier. What happened"? She said in a sarcastic tone."I don't get you Caroline. Tell me. How can I understand and rectify if you won't tell me". He came forward to hold her close but she took equal steps backwards to stop him. "Don't touch me. You want to know what happened. Here. Check these and then tell me what happened"? She threw the envelope to his chest and they fell down with a thud. Xavier didn't pick them up. He was looking at her with a dark gaze. He never forgave disrespect and Caroline was stepping on every line he disliked. In the beginning he took it lightly as if something had disturbed her or upset her, but now he could see that it wasn't the woman he loved standing in front of her. "Pick up the damn envelope and look inside. And then we'll talk". She held her throbbing head in her hands. Xavier could se

Chapter 45."I hope my men didn't mistreat you. They are not well mannered as in your department. They only know how to speak with their hands and feet and all the weapons in between". Xavier entered the basement and saw Sean sitting on a chair. Although all he wanted was to hang him upside down like a pig and slaughter his throat. "I can see how sorry you are. And just cut the shit Xavier. I know you are upset because Caroline finally saw the real you and left you. But let me tell you, holding me down here won't do any good because I have nothing to lose. I had resigned from my job already. No family. Had a sister only to be murdered by you. So no, I don't care if you let me live or die. But I would suggest you hire a lawyer since Caroline won't deal with your case, and fight for your freedom. Because I will make sure you rot in jail forever". Sean said in a calm tone making Xavier chuckle. He dragged a chair in front of him and sat down leisurely. Though it hurt a lot to know Car

Chapter 47“Do you want this”? Xavier moved the glass in his face; he let him inhale the intoxicating smell of one of the finest whiskey in the world. He saw how his eyes lit with hunger.“Isn’t it sad that I have only one glass and we both are thirsty? Let’s make it easy right. Since you know I am a fair player, I will give you equal chances to win over this ice cold glass. Give me one answer for every one question and I will give you one sip. And if you failed, I will take one sip. Let’s see who gets to finish this glass to quench his thirst. Right”?Xavier placed the glass on a table near him and turned to Sean.“I…” Sean tried to say anything but his parched lips didn’t let him. Xavier flickered his fingers in the air and Enzo left the room again to come back shortly with a glass of water and a cotton swab. He soaked the swab with water and rubbed it on Sean’s lips. Sean greedily lapped the little to none wetness and glared at Enzo who took the swab back.“Why are you targeting me

Chapter 49Xavier had just packed her luggage with the help of Tisha as per Caroline's instructions. With him telling and explaining everything that happened with Sean in the past, Caroline felt so sorry for the fifteen years old bod who spent all his life planning revenge. Brock had explained how Xavier worked way different than his grandfather used to do. Although Caroline believed whatever Xavier told her the previous day, a word from his best friend helped her a lot. They spent two days together in Italy and then as Xavier had planned, Caroline agreed to go back home. She was tired of staying away from him. With all her pregnancy hormones and her weight gaining, she was feeling helpless in doing some of the chores. And not to mention the mouth watering and soul shattering massages Xavier gave to her feet. Her hands and her lower back. She was a goner. She felt herself floating over the candy clouds all day long. And that improved her sleep routine too. Xavier checked the imagi
