"I am Skye Monticello's secret from you. And you, Xander Nicolo, are her secret to me" Xander explains. After staring at him for a long time, Nico nods. He understands what he means. "But please don't blame your Mama. It's half my fault why she has to keep me a secret" Xander readily added. "Why it's your fault?" He whispers, confusion written on his face. "She fears the life I will give you. She fears the vast world as a Wright heir. She thought you would be scared" Xander bitterly smiles. Today, he starts to realize the impact of being a Wright heir. Seeing their son made him understand why Skye kept their son a secret. And he wished he hadn't found out. "I won't be scared" Nico assures him but he just bitterly smiles at him. With his reaction, Nico earnestly stares at his face, seeming to be gauging him. "You dont want me?" Nico's next question caught him off-guard. Even the others were stunned by the pain in his voice. "What?" For a moment Xander was dumbstruck. "Nico, bu

"Don't worry, Skye. I have no plans to introduce you as Nicolo's mother. He will just be my son. No one will know about your connection to him"His words pierced her heart as she gasped in utter disbelief. What he said was exactly what she wanted but hearing it from him unexpectedly hurts her. For a moment she was rendered speechless while their gazes lock. "Ahm, of course" After clearing her constricted throat, she mumbles with a smile. If it comes out bitter, she can no longer control it. She was taken aback and the pain in her chest was drilling deeply."I'm just giving you what you wanted, Skye. You dont want to be associated with me. You want a peaceful life. Then it's granted" he mutters while intently staring at her."Yes," The only word she could muster to say. "Whatever setup we have will remain, of course with Nico as an addition. The guest room of the penthouse is being remodeled at the moment. You take care of him at home. But you cannot interact with him in public" he a

"Miss Skye is so beautiful, right Papa?" Nicolo suddenly asks his father.The atmosphere suddenly tense while Skye was horrified. What is Nico doing? They never discussed it last night about having an interaction in public. Together with everyone, she dreadfully waited for Xander's response."There's a lot of equally beautiful ladies in the company, buddy" Xander shrugs and gives his rare smile to his son.Hearing the safe response of the CEO, most of the aspirants were appeased. Anyone could still have a chance. Despite having the boy's favor just now, Skye Monticello was not guaranteed of the CEO's interest. If everyone was relieved by Xander's response, Skye on the other hand almost glared at him. How dare he? Has he been considering someone else? Yes, she's amenable a lot of women in the company have exceptional beauty, even Director Cameron is beautiful and classy, but does he have to rub it in her face?If not for the eyes watching them, she could have confronted him. His wor

Hickeys? Does she have hickeys?She subtly glances outside but Xander is no longer on the spot she left him. How dare he mark her. Now she understands why he was rushing her earlier. He didn't give her time to check herself in the mirror. "I never expect you to have such a wild side, Miss Monticello. You're so candid for wearing some man's mark in the office and you didn't even bother to cover it" Another insulting statement from the director, which she was not in the mood to indulge. But she has no choice."Well, there's a lot of interesting things in my life that no one knows, Director Cameron. I'm immensely enjoying and I don't mind wearing this mark. As what it implies, I've enjoyed the time it was made" she casually smiles while keeping her calm. "Shameless" a disdained smile carved Shella's lips. Rather than be triggered, she gave the woman the sweetest smile she could muster. "Have a great day ahead, Director" She immediately steps outside after she reaches her floor. The

"Before I leave, would you want to dig the Monticellos?" Alek asks while having their coffee in his office. Alek dropped by his office before his flight to return home today. They got no chance to talk after he got busy hunting with Zachary. "No" Xander promptly refused, which earned him narrowed eyes from his brother. "I actually want to ask you to lock every information about Skye and her family" While staring blankly at the steaming cup of coffee on the table, he mutters. "No one must know anything about Skye. Even me" he looked up to meet Alek's earnest questioning eyes."I uphold the Wright values, Alek. I want to keep my woman until my last breath. But I will never cage her" he softly explains, seeing the bafflement on his brother's face. "I value her fears for our son and I want to protect them both. So, if the time comes that they need to go, I want to have a place for them where no one knows. Even me or anyone of us. Lock her details" compelling his brother, he holds his
