Cuddle Me, Alpha のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

Luren,The vibrant sounds in the club were deafening, and I felt a bit out of place. I didn't want to be there, really, but Xavier had just taken over his father's company, and we had come to celebrate the victory with him. It was an all-expense paid weekend celebration by Xavier, and I wasn't comfortable about it. We had been friends since college, so our friendship had endured despite being from different social classes. I was happy for Xavier, especially when I knew his father did not trust him initially. Still, he convinced his father, through hard work, discipline and diligence, to hand the company over to him instead of selling it. Xavier was only twenty-six, but he was a leader. Xavier also invited his childhood friend, Soren, to join us. He was from Xavier's social class, and just like Xavier, he was cool.The drinking was a bit much. I wondered how Soren and Xavier were faring, seeing how they kept going strong after drinking several tequila shots. After the second sho

Lauren I had no clue what the fuck I had just agreed to, but I knew I couldn't take it back now. Standing in my pyjamas in the lawyer's office, I stared at Xavier and the Lawyer while they conversed. "Thank you so much, Lauren; I owe you big time," Xavier said, and I did not speak; I just stared. I had a freaking interview on Tuesday in Stonegate. Will this affect me? "How much will you want to be paid for this service, Lauren," the lawyer asked, and I stared at him. I had a headache, and confusion was setting in. I was still trying to figure out what I had gotten myself into. "Lauren, Lauren," Xavier said, snapping his fingers before me. I snapped out of the shock and nodded. Soren chuckled a bit. I must have unknowingly done something stupid. "How much would you want to be paid for this service?" Xavier asked me, and I felt uncomfortable taking money from him. He was my friend and in trouble; I couldn't put a price on the help. I snapped out of my deep thoughts and shook my h

Lauren Xavier turned his gaze towards me in the courtroom. I could see the despair in his eyes, and I did not know how his luck had turned sour. We remained seated while the people on Isabella's side, along with Isabella, filed out of the courtroom. I did not want to go outside because I could hear the reporters. This shit was going to be bigger than I thought. How could Xavier be so careless? Now I was roped into this shit thanks to Gilbert making it seem like a none issue. I got up and went to meet Xavier. I could see he was worried. I did not know what to do. He stood up yet to speak, and I hugged him. He wrapped his arms around me and rested his head on my shoulder. He needed the comfort; I could feel it. Gilbert rubbed his back gently. "Do not worry, Xavier, we will beat this," he said, assuring Xavier, and he did not say a word. It was indeed a colossal mess. Isabella had made her intention clear already. Should he continue to pursue an annulment, she will divorce him. I

Lauren, We left the Blackwood Towers, and Xavier dismissed the driver so he could drive us. He had taken off his suit jacket and necktie, leaving on his partially unbuttoned shirt to give it a casual feel. To my surprise, we weren't going in the car I came in; instead, we were leaving in a convertible. He opened my side with a smile, and I got in. He did the same on his end with his boyish grin, and I knew people were staring at us. I also caught a camera flash in the corner of my eye, and I knew someone was taking photos. I guess this would be my life now until the issue with Isabella was solved. He looked at me and pulled me in for a kiss. I wondered if it was necessary or if he was just taking liberties. Nonetheless, he was stirring up desire in me, and I doubt I won't break soon. Xavier pulled away, taking my breath with him before starting the vehicle and moving. I remember when he and Luisa used to ride about town in the same convertible. He would have married her had s

Lauren We went to the party in a limo. It was being held at the Ravenscroft Hotel. The biggest hotel in Riverbend and the most expensive too. There was a red carpet at the entrance, and the press was everywhere, making me nervous. Xavier squeezed my hand, reassuring me. I looked at him, trying to steady my breath, my heart beating fast in my chest like I was about to have an anxiety attack. "Breathe, Lauren; all that matters is just you and me. Forget about the crowd out there. I promise I won't leave your side. You have nothing to prove," He said, bringing my hand to his lips and kissing gently. His gesture calmed me a bit, assuring me I wasn't alone. "Breathe," he said, and I did as he had instructed, taking deep breaths. When I was ready, the door to the limo was opened; Xavier stepped out on his side and helped me out on his side. The light was blinding, and the camera's flash was so much. I managed to stand my ground, and he held on tightly; keeping me close to him, we mo
