“Mr. Stone! Did you see the news. The
he twenty five percent stocks Miss Ana owned in Avalon are all sold off to other investors and converted to cash? Miss Ana has taken away her patent jewelry designs from our company and announced that she will start her own jewelry brand under her husband’s brand name “X
“What?” Xavier’s fists clenched as he gritted his teeth in fury
“Has she gone insane! She has signed a legal working contract with our company for twenty five years. Does she want to be sued?
The complete fearful silence at the other end made Xavier stop breathing.
“What is it
“Sir that day you brought Miss Julia to the company, wasn’t it you who signed the documents sent by Miss Aria without much contemplation 711
Miss Ana is never retiming to Avalon anymore, she has long resigned”
The phone slipped from Xavier’s hands shattering onto the ground.
That night Xavier and Julia made their way to Xavier’s new home, a grand penthouse that was Xavier’s long dream, he always wanted a new home to shift into after mariage.
“Rose Mansion!
As soon as the house came into view Xavier stiffened
The garden was filled with lavender for they were my favourite scent, the interior was all decorated with the things Hoved and it was all to my taste!
Even when I was completely gone from his life Xavier could not help but recall me every single moment. Looking at Xavier so absentminded Julia scowled. She has been preparing for this day since a long time.
“Xavier, I will ask my manager to hunt for people willing to invest, I understand your concern but it is our special day.”
“I have prepared ginseng soup for you, it is said to be strengthening and calming. Please eat something before sleeping
Xavier’s eyes softened when Julia laid down a variety of delicacies as a proper obedient wife even though she had ordered everything. from a high–end restaurant and not cooked herself.
“Please Xavier, come on eat” she coaxed making him nod and join her at the table.
His foul mood cracked under the softness of her voice and the way her fingers lightly brushed his. He took a sip of the soup but a small frown formed on his lips.
“Is this real ginseng somehow it tastes a little different
“Oh yes, I asked the chef to add some medicinal herbs for you.” Julia said getting up and walking closer before sitting on his lap.
“You work so much, so it must be trouble sleeping, it is for sleeping well so relax.”
Xavier embraced Julia, quickly gulping down the liquid.
But then her fingers traced a slow, heated path down his chest, unbuttoning his shirt with practiced ease. His pulse spiked. His skin buzzed with electricity. The tension he had been carrying all day unraveled under her touch.X
“Julia_”
“I want you,” she whispered in a sweet voice, her seductive lips descending onto his. “I want all of you tonight Xavier, I love you.”
Xavier got up with Julia in his arms as a fire burned inside his body. His back hit the cold bathroom door
Julia pushed it open, pulling him in with her K
“Here,” she murmured, pressing his hand against the curve of her bare thigh. “I want to feel you right here.”
Before he could say a word, she turned on the shower, steam beginning to fill the air as her silk robe dropped to the tiled floor in a soft wtusper
She climbed onto the bathroom counter and beckoned him over
At that moment Xavier did not feel odd for they had done it multiple times thus he relented.
Her lips crashed into his again, and he lost himself.
Every touch was frantic. Every movement was urgent.
She guided him with confidence, fingers threading through his hair as they lost into wild passion.
She was bold Demanding Daring
Nothing like the ‘Ana‘ Xavier knew..
I had always been a little clumsy and naive in pleasing him, my kisses soft and completely uncertain. I would rely on Xavier, whisper his name like it was sacred
But Julia was different Julia made him feel like a man unraveling. Her body moved like she knew how to control every second of his pleasure
And that scared Xavier as his desire started calming down.
He took her, again on the counter, against the wall, even on the slick bathroom floor it was wild, primal. Her moans echoed between gasps of ecstasy, her nails leaving red trails down his back.)
Yet unlike the satisfaction he wanted to taste, this leave a bad taste in his mouth.. almost as if something was wrong.
Julia leaned into him, nuzzling into his shoulder?
“That was… intense, she giggled, pressing a kiss to his collarbone. “You’re different tonight. Wilder. I like it.“2:
But Xavier didn’t laugh.
Something gnawed at his chest. Something cold.
She was too calm. Too rehearsed.
He stared at her, her skin still flushed from release, her eyes dreamy. But beneath the softness, something about her perfection felt wrong, Scripted
“Are you sure that was just Ginseng?” he asked, voice low.
Julia blinked, her expression flickering with panic for a moment before she quickly masked it..
“W–Was it not? I bought it from an authentic store do you think it was something else?” she said with a soft pout
“Yes, just be careful in future.” Xavier sighed, his heart hellbent on believing that Julia would not recklessly give him a drug.
“Xavier, I am carrying your child, Xavier Why would I ever do anything reckless…I will go to that shop and scold the owner“: Xavier didn’t reply.
Instead, he reached over, gently laying a hand on her belly “You’re not… feeling sick, are you?”
Julia smiled, placing her hand over his. “Of course not. Our baby’s strong. Just like you.”
“Still maybe we should go for a checkup tomorrow,” he said.
This time, Julia’s smile faltered.
“Trust me Xavier, everything is alright.” It was at this moment Xavier looked at Julia with his heart sinking.
What kind of mother would take risks with her unborn child and even refuse a checkup??
There was something terribly wrong here !!
