P71. OH, XANDER!

Xander snorted angrily. Angel kept ignoring him even though he had confessed his feelings. With wide steps, Xander grabbed Angel's shoulders and turned her around. He kissed Angel's lips before Angel could push him away. Xander's lips moved wildly on the surface of Angel's lips. He was filled with a primitive desire to possess Angel completely. But fate was truly cruel because it made him unable to have Angel for himself.“I couldn't forget you after we came back from Paris. Your face and everything about you always fills my brain.""Nonsense. You're going to marry Phoebe. Don't say anything that will complicate my life and yours.”Xander held her waist in place. He tried to be careful with the IV tube hanging from the back of Angel's hand."I'm serious. It's crazy, but I really can't forget you.”“And Phoebe?”“I have to marry her for my mother.”Xander sighed softly. He could no longer hide the truth behind his marriage to Phoebe.“My mother is sick. Before we came back from Paris,

P72. OH, XANDER!

Xander turned towards the door. He slowly released his hug from Angel and walked over to Phoebe. There was not the slightest panic on his face. He was so smooth when talking to Phoebe.“You didn't call me if you were coming.”“Xander. I'm glad to see you again.”Phoebe threw herself into his arms and cried into his chest."Thank God you're okay."“There is nothing for us to worry about.”“Angel!” Phoebe squealed over Xander's shoulder. She let go of her hug and took a wide step to take Angel into her arms.Angel looked at Xander in confusion. She thought Phoebe would be mad at her because she was hugging her future husband and Xander had just confessed his feelings for her. She was thankful that Phoebe didn't hear her conversation with Xander. Phoebe cried on her shoulder and thanked her many times because she survived last night's terrible incident.“I'm glad you're okay. I feel responsible for what happened to you yesterday."“It's not your fault. I'm fine now. Thank you for worryin

P73. TWO ANNOYING BROTHERS

“Angel! Oh my, are you okay?”“What are you doing here, Finn?”Angel had just stepped into the lobby when Finn suddenly threw himself into her arms. Finn patted her back several times before moving their bodies apart to observe Angel's appearance from head to toe. His eyes moved carefully to look for damage on Angel's body.“Why didn't you tell me you were hospitalized for two days? Oh my God, you could have been eaten by a shark!”“Let go of me, Finn. What are you doing?”“Xander told me that you fell into the sea while celebrating Phoebe's friend's birthday. God, why didn't anyone tell me when it happened to you?”"I'm fine, Finn."“Bullshit. You can't possibly be fine if you have to stay in the hospital for two days.”Finn rocked Angel's shoulders back and forth, as if Angel were a rag doll who could be played with as he pleased. Angel had to yell at Finn and push his chest away from her to get Finn to stop making her head spin.“If I'm not okay, it's because you keep twisting me a

P74. XANDER AND PHOEBE'S WEDDING

Xander and Phoebe's wedding was just hours away. Angel placed the gold-inked invitation on the nightstand. She had read it dozens of times since the invitation was placed on her desk. Xander never gave it to her directly. Xander didn't even want to talk about his marriage while they spent time together at the office. Yeah, they were just work. They never talked about personal things because it was too risky.Angel got up from bed to get ready to go to church. She would be a bridesmaid along with Phoebe's friends. Time passed so quickly since the incident on the yatch that caused her to almost die. Luckily, things went pretty normal after that. The last three weeks, Angel had been busy helping Phoebe prepare for her wedding. They had a very tight timeline for taking care of catering, wedding hall, entertainment, and determining the list of invited guests. Xander didn't interfere in any of those things. He left all the wedding preparations to Phoebe and his mother. Xander tended to spen

P75. FEELS LIKE A DREAM

Staring at his reflection in the mirror, Xander didn't expect that he would be getting married today. It still felt like a dream. A few months ago, he was still very sure that he would not get married and would only date a few women who looked attractive in his eyes. Married life felt scary for him because he had been disappointed by Jennifer. And he saw that his mother was very down after his father's death. It made Xander afraid to love someone too deeply. But things changed quickly. He was matched just as he was starting to get attracted to his own secretary.“How crazy this is!” Xander muttered bitterly as he adjusted his tie.The corner of his eye accidentally caught movement near the door. His mother smiled and stepped into the groom's waiting room with a twinkle of happiness on her face. Xander was relieved that his sacrifice was worth it to make his mother happy.“Hi, mom. You look beautiful in that navy dress.”“You look very handsome in that tuxedo too.”His mother touched X

P76. FEELS LIKE A DREAM

"Are you ready?"“Angel!” Phoebe squealed with delight when she found Angel entering the bride's waiting room.A make-up artist was putting the finishing touches on Phoebe's face with pink blush and spraying expensive perfume all over her body. Phoebe looked like she couldn't wait to immediately turn around and hug Angel, who was waiting for her.“I'm incredibly nervous. So this is what it's like to be married?"“You are such a perfect bride, E.B. You don't need to be nervous.”Angel hugged Phoebe and patted her back gently. She was jealous that Phoebe looked so perfect in her wedding dress. Her blonde hair was left flowing over her bare shoulders, and she wore a very beautiful tiara on the top of her head. Phoebe was exactly like a princess in the modern era. The Swarovski stones that spread from around the waist to the tail of the dress shine beautifully under the light. The dress perfectly suited Phoebe's image as a glamorous American girl."Congrats. Finally, the day you have been

P77. FUCKED-UP

“Bring me a bottle of bourbon. I want to get drunk tonight."After driving for three hours aimlessly, Xander decided to stop at a bar with tacky neon lights that he found after exiting the interstate. The bar was next door to the Holliday Inn, which was offering empty rooms for forty dollars a night. Xander saw that the Holliday Inn was founded not to attract tourists who needed a place to stay during their long journey, but to attract bar patrons who needed an empty room for a few hours of satisfying sex.As the night progressed, the bar became busier and showed its true identity. Fierce and lewd men began to dominate every corner of the bar. Sexy women in skimpy clothes started hanging around offering their services.“I saw you wearing an expensive tuxedo and a flower in your pocket. Are you a runaway groom? Or are you avoiding your bride?”Xander couldn't blame the woman if she had guessed correctly. His appearance was indeed very eye-catching in that shabby bar."Both of them. You

P78. DYLAN'S CONFESSION

"Are you sure you're okay?"“Why should I not be okay?”Angel stepped into the elevator, followed by Dylan behind her. Angel pressed the elevator button and waited until the elevator doors closed.“You might be worried about your boss.”“He's not a five-year-old kid to worry about. I'm sure he left of his own free will, not because he was kidnapped.""Are you sure you don't know where your boss is?"When Angel didn't say anything and instead threw an annoyed look at him, Dylan chuckled while rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly."Sorry, I didn't mean to accuse you of being in cahoots with your boss.""Yes, it's obvious that you're accusing me of colluding with my boss. But for God's sake, I knew nothing about his plans. I thought everything was fine, and the wedding would go on as planned."They stepped out of the elevator together. Dylan followed Angel to her unit in silence. When Angel opened the door, she gestured for Dylan to come into her apartment.“You might want some coffee.

P79. FINDING XANDER

In fact, being Xander's secretary not only provided financial benefits because the salary she received every month was quite large and had the advantage of admiring Xander's good looks up close, but also gave her unlimited access to people with a wide and confidential network.Angel tried her luck to contact Simpson yesterday afternoon to track down Xander. She started to get restless after Xander disappeared for two days without a word. Simpson was a private investigator who had helped Xander track down one of his problematic clients. Angel actually didn't expect too much from Simpson because Finn didn't even manage to track down Xander. Angel was sure that Finn had used unlimited resources to track Xander. But miraculously, Angel got a call from Simpson, saying that he had found the location where Xander was."Are you sure it's him?""Isn't the black Jaguar with a very shiny exterior enough to identify Xander's whereabouts?""You are right. Where is he now?"“Somewhere outside of to

P80. FINDING XANDER

No answer. Angel could only see walls and a sitting room with a set of sofas. But she faintly heard a growl from somewhere in the room. Angel decided to step inside and ignore the risks. Her gut told her that what she would find would not be anything good.“Aaahh... My darling, hug me tightly. You are truly brutal.”“I can't hug you. My hands are busy.”“Xander?” Angel frowned in disgust.The sight of the messy bed made her stomach churn. Xander was with a red-haired woman who appeared to be wearing nothing under the blanket. Xander was shirtless, sitting leaning against the head of the bed while holding the iPad he usually used for work.“What are you doing here, Angel? I still work even though I don't go to the office.”“You're disgusting. You ran off on your wedding day and stayed at this run-down motel with that red-haired bitch?”“Hey, I have a name. And are you the bride he left at the altar?”"No. I'm his secretary. You had better get out of here before I throw you out.”“Xande
