C5 The trip...

Xavier closed his eyes and laid down on his bed and Fiona thought he was sleeping, he grabbed her hand and made her sit on top of him as he wrapped his hands around her waist.

"Do you want to be my bride?" He asked again and she was speechless.

"Someone is pestering my life and I need to scare her away, I need you to pretend to be my wife". He stood up from the bed and walked towards the table where the tea was placed, he lifted the cup and took a sip before turning towards Fiona who was embarrassed, she wished she knew he was awake, she doesn't want to think that she's some cheap girl.

"Can you do it?" He asked and she nodded her head. "You can leave" He said to her, his face was Calm and stern.

She ran to her room, her heart was pounding so fast and she could feel the butterflies in her stomach singing. "I fucked up, I shouldn't have done that" She buried her head in her palm while trying so hard not to die from embarrassment.

Fiona was having breakfast alone at the dining when Xavier came downstairs and everyone bowed their heads and greeted him.

"Prepare my private jet and guns, I want to teach some idiots a lesson". He commanded and they bowed their heads before walking away to do what asked them to do. He fixed his gaze at Fiona who was avoiding him, he came closer to her and removed the food crumbs at the corner of her mouth and she almost choked.

"You are coming with me" He whispered and her eyes widened, she can't help but feel drawn to him.

She went to her room and informed Lawson that Xavier was taking her on a trip and Lawson smiled, "let me know who he's meeting and what they discussed about" He instructed and she agreed. She doesn't know where he's taking her to but for some reason she was excited about traveling with him.

They got into his private jet and he sat down beside her, it was Fiona's first time and she was so scared during take off, she closed her eyes tightly while trying to hold something, she was looking for what to hold when She felt someone's palm on hers, she opened her eyes and saw Xavier holding her hand.

"I thought you might need my help" He said and looked away and Fiona grinned, she felt so happy knowing that he cares about her.

They arrived at his Resort in Maldives and he helped her as she climbed down the Jet. She was so excited, she has never been to a place like that before, they bodyguards carried her luggages as she walked beside Xavier who's Mafia Aura filled the air.

They entered in to the house which was made of woods, it was so beautifully built and Fiona couldn't stop admiring the house, the garden beside the house caught her attention and she went there admiring the flowers.

"Everything here belongs to me, I want you to be comfortable and don't go anywhere, I will assign some bodyguards to guard you, I will be out for a meeting at my club" He said staring at her intently.

"I want to go with you" She voiced out, she needs to do it in order to find out who he is meeting and what the meeting is all about.

"You don't understand, I have enemies everywhere, your life will be in danger the moment you are spotted with me" He said while maintaining eye contact with her.

"Nothing is going to happen to me if I'm with you, I want to go with you" She insisted and Xavier took her. They arrived at his club which was buzzing, they got inside and he asked her to sit and wait for him and she agreed, he also assigned some bodyguards to her.

He went upstairs and met a lady who was facing the wall, she dressed so seductively and it looked like she was waiting for him.

"Celine!" He called and she turned towards him, she smiled broadly as she went closer to him and pecked his cheeks.

"You kept me waiting". She smiled.

"Sorry about that, how was your flight?"

"Good, I was thinking you would be the one picking me up from the airport" She said and he scoffed.

"Come on!, It's not like we are dating" He scoffed as he pours the whiskey on the table into his glass.

"But we had something, and it was strong" she said.

"We were sex buddies and you know that".

"Why are you scared of falling in love?"

"Forget about that, you said you have something for me ".

"They are after you, Xavier. I would suggest you lay low for now". She reached to her bag and brought some papers which she handed over to him.

"I can't do that, there's nothing they can do to me" He said while scanning the papers she handed over to him.

"I'm serious, I worried about you".

"I know, thanks for everything" he replied.

Fiona was curious to know where Xavier went to, she has to find out what he was doing and who he was meeting.

"I'm going to the restroom" She said to one of the bodyguards and he agreed. The club was filled with people and she doesn't know where to find him, she was about climbing the stairs when a man held her hand.

"Do you want to go home with me?" He asked Fiona who was uncomfortable, she almost threw up because of the smell of Alcohol which was coming from him.

"Let me go" She tells him while trying to free herself but he tightened his grip and She was so scared because no one noticed what was happening.

"Bang!" Xavier punched him on his face and he fell to the floor wincing in pain, he was so furious, he was coming downstairs when he saw them.

He dragged Fiona out of the club angrily and his bodyguards followed them. They got home and he yelled at the bodyguards that he assigned to her, he was so angry that they couldn't carry out a single task which was making sure she was safe.

"Get out!" He Commanded and they walked out leaving Fiona who was so scared, he pressed her against the wall angrily.

"I'm possessive of you!, Why did you allow another man to touch you!" He yelled angrily while staring at her innocent eyes which was filled with tears, he frowns and instantly wiped it away with his thumb.

He brought his face closer to her and kissed her passionately, Fiona found herself opening her mouth for him, she never imagined that she was going to have her first kiss with a Mafia who thinks he owns her.
