Lahat ng Kabanata ng OFF LIMITS: HIS BEST FRIEND'S MOTHER : Kabanata 141 - Kabanata 150

Olivia’s POVI woke up from my nap due to hearing muffled voices, my head was still pounding with the stress of yesterday but I was much rested than this morning. I strained by ears to hear who Xander had in the house. I could hear Ethan's deep voice saying something, was that Maya's laughter? What were they even doing here. I didn't even care, the thought of the two people I loved the most by my side made me happy. I quickly put on a robe over the Xander's tee that I wore earlier that morning and padded my way to the living room. When I walked into the living room, there they were: Ethan and Maya on the couch, takeout bags spread out on the coffee table, Xander was currently pouring out wine in wine glasses. Maya spotted me first and jumped up with a squeal. “Liv! There you are!” She rushed over and pulled me into a tight hug, her floral scent enveloping me. “We heard about the online crap and came as soon as we could. Are you okay?”I hugged her back, feeling tears of appreci

Olivia’s POVTime seemed to slow down as Cassandra stormed toward us, her face twisted in rage, eyes locked on me like I was the devil herself. The guests gasped again, chairs scraping as people stood up, whispers rising in the garden. The priest froze, bible still open in his hands, his kind smile gone. Xander’s grip on my hand tightened, his body shifting to block me fully. Ethan was already moving, his best man duties forgotten as he stepped forward with a growl. Maya clutched my arm, her nails digging in a little too hard, but I barely felt it. My heart was thundering so loud it drowned out everything else.“Cassandra!” Xander barked, his voice sharp and commanding. “Get the fuck out now.”But she didn’t stop. She shoved past another security guard who was rushing in from the side, her heels sinking into the soft grass of the path. Her dress—a rumpled red thing that looked like she’d thrown it on in a hurry was hiked up as she charged. “You bitch!” she screamed, pointing at me wi

Olivia’s POVThe limo ride back to the hotel felt like a dream and also a lifetime. My body still hummed with the events that occured during the day, Cassandra's outburst, insults she threw at me, and my fainting spell.Now, all that doesn't matter anymore, at least for now. I can't believe that I and Xander just got married, I feel so alive with his hand currently wrapped on my thigh. The car suddenly stopped and I realized we have arrived at our destination.Xander gently helped me out of the car, his strong arm around my waist, and we walked through the lobby hand in hand.The concierge nodded discreetly, handing over the key card without a word. In the elevator, he backed me against the wall, his lips brushing mine in a soft, teasing kiss. “Mrs. Hayes,” he murmured, his voice low and husky. “I’ve been waiting all day to get you out of this dress.”I smiled, my fingers tangling in his tie. “Patience, Mr. Hayes. We have all night.”The suite was stunning, with it's floor-to-ceiling

Xander’s POVIt's been a month since the opening of Olivia's clinic and it has been an eventful month. We were fully unpacked and living in our private duplex in a family oriented neighbourhood. Married life has been good so far, with lazy mornings, faster afternoons and quiet nights. I loved my wife with all my life and I couldn't ask for anything more. But I would be a liar if I didn't say I thought about hockey during the better part of my day. I missed the game, the cold arena, wearing skates, loud teammates and our over serious Coach Miller.Hockey was basically my life and it still is. I thought I could really do without it but I can't . Since the time i was fired from the Chicago Blizzards, I have been itchy to get off the ice. Now is the best time to call Coach Hartley who offered me a spot in the Timber Wolves team, although I wouldn't be a captain there obviously , but at least I got to play the game I cherished with all my life.This morning something just clicked in my h

Xander's PovIt's been a month of getting to know my new team, the Timber Wolves and learning their practice style, and perfecting the styles that needed to be tightened. Today, was officially our first game day for the season. I was equal parts, super excited and a hell of a lot nervous. The guys on the team were good wingmen, there was no bad energy, just curious teammates who just wanted to learn and better the team. No one was stirring up for a quarell or bringing up the scandal unprovoked. I really liked it here, a team that felt like home. . We were up against the Denver Avalanche, a decent mid-tier team, but I knew we had enough grit to handle them.My body buzzed with nerves and anticipation. I knew we were going to ace this game, whether we lost or not, we were going to give it our best.I stretched slowly, muscles protesting yesterday's practice but I needed to keep moving. After getting ready, I grabbed my gym bag and headed for the team bus that was waiting outside the
