SKYLAR POV The sound of birdsong surrounded the table where Xander and I had sat when we arrived at the restaurant.He had never been here before, but he did know this place, and apparently, he had reserved a table before we arrived.We were in a small corner beside a beautiful garden that wrapped around the entire terrace, just him and me. Xander ordered for the two of us, and then, when the waitress left, he took off his jacket and hung it on the chair."What do you think?" he asked, slumping back in his chair."Your mother is very nice," I said, smiling. "Your brother looked at me strangely, but I guess it was like the first time he met me."Arthur is like that Skylar, don't think anything, Xander said.You know, before he got married he was the life of the party. Most girls were dying for him and I assure you that his worries were very different from those now.Xander looked at a point fixedly but then he met Liliana and got pregnant with William.Xander returned his gaze to

XANDER POV The sound of running shower water stopped as I adjusted my tie. Sky emerged from the bathroom minutes later, wearing a light-colored dress and mid-heels as she headed to the bedroom mirror to finish touching up her hair. I smiled at the shape the dress gave her ass. I walked behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist, burying my head in her neck and biting it lightly. I knew she loved it.Xander, she whispered.We've talked about it, and we're going to be late again.She whispered as I continued kissing her neck."I'm Mr Jenkin," I growled against her skin. "I don't care if I'm late," I slowly pulled away from her, staring at the figure the dress gave her. I brought my hand to her ass and spanked her, making her jump a little in surprise.But I didn't answer.I don't want people to talk more than what they do—She snapped"You're Mr Jenkins' girl," "Let them say whatever they want, I'll kick them out."Sky turned around, standing in front of me. I smiled as I

XANDER POV When I told Sky I was going out with Michael tonight, she didn't seem too keen on the idea, but I didn't care. He was my friend, and I hadn't seen him in a while. Besides, I was still upset about what happened at the office. That guy was flirting with her right in front of me, and she didn't do anything to stop it; she was even sitting at his desk, naked. Oh no, I wasn't going to allow that again.I finished buttoning my shirt and left the bathroom. I was running late, so I didn't have much time to linger; when I entered the room, Sky was lacing her heels and sitting on the bed. Her body was wrapped in a black dress that hugged her curves perfectly, topped with a stunning neckline."Where are you going?" I asked, looking her up and down.I'm meeting Sam—She said, standing up. I looked at her again; that dress...I thought that since you were going out with your friend, I should go out with mine too."Good idea," I replied. I was dying of jealousy; any insane man wo

SKYLAR POV "Get out of the fucking bed," Sam snapped, taking the duvet off me. I wanted to sleep, even if it was just for a little while longer."Leave me alone, Sam," I snapped. "I'm fine here.""This room is fucking disgusting," she snapped. "Okay, Sky, you're upset, I get it but fuck, get off your ass, do something.""I don't feel like it, really," I whispered to her.Sam looked at me for a few seconds and then I understood what she meant by that look."I need the house, okay?" She said. "I'm here and I don't want you here, at least for a while."The atmosphere in the cafe was relaxed, as always, everyone busy with their things, with their laptops, phones, or simply enjoying the coffee the cafe offered. I was in the latter group; I hadn't even charged my phone in the last two days, nor did I know if it had a battery, but I did know that mine was completely dead. I briefly forgot to call Xander. Of course, it had crossed my mind, but he hadn't texted me again either. I knew

SKYLAR POV I hadn't been to the office for weeks. After what had happened, I hadn't had the strength or the desire. Nora assured me that we wouldn't meet, that I would be going to a different building, and that everything would be fine. For that reason, I accepted my new position. Spring was approaching, and everyone imagined the sunny streets of New York City. But this week, a storm was passing through the city, and what should have been warm weather was trapped under the gray clouds that had covered the city for days. I didn't care; I didn't mind the bad weather; deep down, I felt that way too. I looked at the notification that popped up on my phone, waiting for a response to the text I'd sent Xander the night before. He hadn't replied. He probably had hundreds of messages, but knowing he hadn't read mine bothered me more than I'd like to admit. Instead, the notification I got was from Nathaniel, saying good morning and wishing me luck. I rolled my eyes and locked
