Quinn . "How confident are you that Xavion's parents will accept you?" Trinity looked at me from head to foot, "I don't know what Xavion sees in you. You're nothing but a second-grade, trying hard copycat." Her brow raised, and so is mine. "I heard that line in a movie. You're not being original." I pursed my lips and challenged her, causing her to lose her smile. "I'm not someone you can just trample on, Trinity. You've underestimated me," I smiled, feeling more confident with Xavion by my side. No matter what, I would hold onto him dearly because we are a couple now. Xavion holds my heart, and that's all that matters to me. "I can transform into an angel if you treat me like one and into your worst nightmare if you're a devil. So, it's better to stop pretending and be genuine. You are a fox hiding in a sheepskin, Trinity... Sorry, but you can't fool me." My blood rose, and I could no longer hold myself after Trinity treated me like a piece of shit in front of Xavion's mother

Quinn . It was unbelievable. The moment I stepped inside Xavion’s secluded place, I felt intimidated. I didn’t see this coming. I saw the rest of his cousins and expected that Xavion would not be as splendid as them, but I was wrong. He’s on the top. “Miss Quinn, please make yourself at home. I hope your room meets your expectations as I’ve decorated it according to your preferences.” Vatasha softly smiled. She’s in her sixties. A refined modesty, which reminds me of my grandmother. Except that Vatasha is a few years younger. “I-I like it. Honestly, it’s too much, and I appreciate all your hard work. Thank you.” “You’re welcome, my dear. The Madame wants to look after you. She rang me last night, and I managed to organize everything on time. I am delighted that Master Xavion has returned to this house with a companion. I am pleased to see him happy and accompanied.” I lost my smile. It’s uncomfortable, and something is missing that I can’t explain. They are friendly and sweet t

Quinn . "Thank you," I said to the lady who assisted me. I sat on a chair made for queens and looked at myself in the mirror. I remember the last time, the last two people who fixed myself were the helpers under my father's command. I had no freedom under my father's control, as I was obligated to obey his orders for my Grandmother's safety. I wonder how's Grandma? I hope she's still holding for me. "How do you like your hair done, Miss Quinn?" she asked nicely. I blinked and looked at her from the mirror's reflection. Never once in my life had someone asked me what I wanted to do with myself except now. It's the first time for me. "Uhm, j-just a trim, please," I responded. I'm not sure about it. I'm just happy that Eres gave me this treat. A pampering 'love yourself card'. "How about we give your hair a little shine? Leave it to me." As she winked and smiled, I nodded weakly. I am feeling excited! I overlooked the time, and it seems like forever to me. Amanda was her name. S

Quinn.My fingers twirl the little hairs on his chest as his warm scent dominates all over me. His broad chest speaks of comfort every time I am with him. I love him, and seeing his face first thing in the morning has now become a routine. I always have my smile in the mornings.I lift my head to see Xavion's sleeping yet smiling face. As he opened his eyes, I wrinkled my nose."Good morning," I whispered and bit my lower lip.He groaned, pulled me closer against his chest, and snaked his leg around my waist."Stay, darling. I want us to be like this in the mornings," he whispered. He shut his eyes again.The sun is up and I can see a faint light illuminating our glass window. The heavy blinds are effective in blocking out light, creating a dark atmosphere inside. I curled my body and buried my face against his chest.I still have a vivid memory of what occurred last night. It was an ecstatic feeling when Xavion gave me the beautiful necklace. It's fit for a queen like my name. . . Q

Xavion . "How far again?" Bryce is on the line, suggesting his best plan. Since we already secured Quinn's grandmother, it's payback time! "Roughly a thousand meters from where I stand. There's no signal on the other end, so I will use our security pin. Don't worry about Quinn's grandmother. She's in good hands. . . Enzo got her and is under the charity care of their hospital. Linus is currently in Mexico, and Morris is traveling down the border. I was right, Xavion. The Montadamme underground is located in two parts of the west. I don't know how they manage this illegal business in transport. But I believe they have someone protecting them from the TOP." My jaw tightened, and my other hand fisted into a ball. This is beyond my line of job. I belong to The Royalty Mondragon, for fuck sake! But how can I ignore this? The Montadamme is the biggest exporter of illegal weapons in the two war countries. Not only that, they do drugs. They do human trafficking and selling human organs o
