Chapter 12: The Bedroom ChangeCELESTE With Dmitri gone and it being way past my bedtime. I decided to head into my suite that was located on the opposite end of the hallway from Xenois's master bedroom, my mind still going over everything that had happened. I pushed open the bedroom door and froze at the doorway blinking my eyes repeatedly as I couldn't believe what I was seeing.I had to rub them to make sure that I wasn't dreaming because what the fuck was happening here.Xenois was lying on my bed, his back propped against the pillows, wearing only a pair of black shorts. His chest was bare, and he still has his bandage wrapped around his dark hair, and he was looking at me with such open desire and hunger in his eyes that my breath got caught in my throat."What are you doing here?" I managed to ask after recollecting myself as I made the way inside and gently closed the door. No way was I going to show him that I was a bit unnerved by him here. He was the one trespassing in he

Chapter 14: Who Sent YouXENOISHer eyes searched my face, and I could see her trying to read between the lines. Celeste was intelligent to know that there was something going on that I wasn't letting her know of, but she was cautious enough not to prod further "I love you," I said suddenly, the words sounding both natural and surprising to me.Her breath caught and her eyes widened and for a moment I saw that same mixture of hope and fear that had been in her eyes at the hospital. "I love you too," she whispered, as if the moment might be broken if she said it too loud.I kissed her then, slow and deep, trying to memorize the wash she tasted and the way she fell into my hands. When we broke apart, I rested my forehead against hers as we breathed heavily.A part of me wanted to tell Romano fuck off and show Celeste just how much I love her by burying myself deep in her tight channel but I knew better than to rush it.Celeste would run for the hills so I needed to be careful with wha

Chapter 16: Sophia Is Pregnant XENOISThe drive to Chez Laurent gave me enough time to think, but my thoughts kept circling back to the same uncomfortable questions. What had I promised Sophia exactly ?What kind of relationship had we maintained during my marriage to Celeste? Had I been cheating on Celeste? Did she know? Maybe she did, since she kept trying to put a wall between us whenever I got too touchy feely with her and already reminded me of our stance. Was she trying to protect herself when I finally recovered my memory so I wouldn't have her to blame for taking advantage of me in a vulnerable state?And the most troubling question ever was if I was indeed planning to leave Celeste for Sophia, why on earth couldn't I go through with it anymore.Chez Laurent was exactly the kind of restaurant where the cities elite come to conduct their business and personal affairs. I arrived a few minutes early and was shown to a corner table with good sight from where I could see the ent

Chapter 18: More Lies That Breaks TrustCELESTEThe sound of the front door opening made us both freeze as we turned towards the door way at the same time. Was Xenois back? I didn't hear the car drive in. Or was I too fixated on if he was lying to me that I forgot to pay attention to my surroundings.Xenois's voice was loud enough to be carried out through the house as he called out, "Celeste? Boys? I'm home!"I quickly put my phone away, trying to hide my expression into something resembling normalcy. Dmitri gave me a small nod of encouragement before stepping back toward the doorway."In here," I called back, surprised by how calm and steady my voice sounded. Nobody was going to have an idea of the emotional turmoil I was going through..Xenois showed up in the kitchen moments later, and I felt my breath getting caught up in my lungs as I took in his dazzling appearance once more.He looked exactly as he had this morning – very handsome in his dark suit, his hair slightly scattered

Chapter 20: Unwanted Proximity XENOISDmitri cleared his throat uncomfortably as he replied. "You fired your previous assistant two weeks ago. The replacement was scheduled to start today.""What was wrong with the previous one?" I asked curiously about recognizing anything about this."You never explained your reasoning, sir. You just came in one morning and told her to clear out her desk immediately."That sounded harsh, even for me as I grimaced. That was too cruel even for me. "And the replacement?"Before Dmitri could answer my question, the elevator chimed behind us. I turned to see who was arriving, and my blood ran cold.Sophia stepped out of the elevator, looking every bit the professional she was, dressed in clothes that hugged her curves perfectly. Her hair was pulled back in a bun, and she carried herself with the confidence of someone who belonged here."Good morning, Xenois," she said, her voice sounding neutral, although I knew that wasn't her true emotions. "I hope
