"Let go of me, Mr. Alexandre!"

Rachel pounded the strong hand that gripped her arm tightly.

"Mr. Alexandre!"

Nine-inch heels made her stride wobble, as the boss dragged her into his study without a care as she struggled to let go.

"Xavier, what's wrong?!"

There was a warm feeling that spread in Xavier's heart when the woman no longer called him the 'Mr. Alexandre'.

However, the thought of Rachel's closeness to Dimitri, as well as the fact that the reason she was suddenly transferred from the branch office was that she had been a victim of abuse made Xavier angry again.

The image of the woman he used to guard with all his heart was touched by another man, making the man almost lose control. Xavier gritted his teeth. Unknowingly his hand gripped her tighter, then quickened his steps towards his study.

Rachel herself felt Xavier's grip on her hand tighten. She didn't understand at all, what made Xavier so upset. It's just that the alarm inside her now goes off. Implying she was in a dangerous situation.

Rachel Lee knows Xavier Alexandre more than anyone. Outside of his warm and friendly personality toward the employees, Xavier's actually someone who tends to be reckless and temperament. Even his behavior when angry is often difficult to control.

"X, what happened? Why are you suddenly like this?!"

Xavier still ignored her, then forced Rachel into his study. The loud slamming of the door made the woman startled.

Her chest which was already pounding anxiously immediately panicked, when she saw the hanging key was turned.

"Xavier!" she screamed as she rushed to reach for the key, but Xavier's hand took the lead by pulling the key and putting it in his trouser pocket.

She stared in shock at the disappearance of the key in his pocket. Her face lifted to look at Xavier worriedly. The current situation is hazardous.

Rachel backed away slowly as Xavier stepped forward with a face filled with anger.

This anger is not like when Xavier saw her go to the office with Dimitri.

It's more scary and dangerous.

"Xavier ...." this time Rachel mumbled softly, she seemed even more scared when Xavier got closer to her.

"How many men have touched you, baby?" The dark bead of the night stared intently.

"W-what?"

Rachel stammered. She swallowed hard, Xavier's aura of anger even made it difficult for her to speak.

Xavier held her shoulder with an uncontrollable burst of emotion. "Tell me, who has touched this body?! Tell me, Rachel!"

"What do you mean? I don't understand!"

Rachel struggled to free herself, but in vain because Xavier's two hands gripped her shoulders very tightly.

"I already know everything! I already know about you and Dimitri! I also know why you were transferred to the center because of a sexual harassment case, as well as the label that your friends put on the branch office. I know everything!" Xavier snapped at her.

Rachel was very surprised. She felt her breath suffocating as Xavier yelled as rudely as this.

"That's why I'm asking, how many hands have been holding this body?!"

Xavier was overcome by uncontrollable anger. Seen from his shoulders up and down with a look in his eyes as if to skin her right then and there.

She tried to brace herself for the horror in front of her. Unlucky! Even her body was shaking violently in the face of Xavier's explosive emotions.

"Tellme, are you still a virgin?"

The question succeeded in making Rachel more surprised. She looked at him with wide eyes in disbelief.

The doubtful question was more like an insult to Rachel, to her pride as a woman.

However, that isn't where her frustration lies. Remembering that Xavier's no longer hers, considering that this man already has a woman he wants to marry, makes the woman furious.

Xavier has no right to question her about this!

With all her strength she pushed Xavier's chest until the grip on her shoulder released.

She looked at Xavier angrily. "To be touched by anyone, by how many people, even a virgin or not, what's the matter with you?! Nothing! Nothing to do with you, damn it!"

Rachel also exploded in the end. Can't stand Xavier's possessive attitude, even though the man has another woman in his life. Oh, Lord! Was this the man she had loved for almost ten years?

Rachel looks at her in shock. Surprised by her bold attitude. But soon his handsome face changed. The demonic aura thickened within Xavier, making her desperately suppress her fears so she wouldn't be daunted by Xavier's dark glare.

The man chuckled.

"Wow! Looks like now you be braver, Rachel."

She saw Xavier laughing softly. The devil's laughter made the atmosphere even tenser.

Xavier turned around, his gaze had completely changed. She knew very well that this gaze indicated that Rachel was at the most dangerous level.

The man turned around, his hands busy folding his shirt sleeves up to his elbows. Then without warning, he grabbed Rachel's arm while loosening the tie around his neck, threw her beautiful body onto the sofa, then sat on top of her.

"What do you want?!"

Rachel looked at him in fear, reflexively protecting herself by squeezing the buttons of her work shirt tightly.

"X!" The woman gasped when Xavier grabbed her hands forcibly. "Xavier … let me go!"

She panicked tremendously when Xavier pulled the tie off his neck and tied it tightly around her wrist.

The man gave a small grin, looking completely unaffected even though the body beneath him kept on struggling to escape.

"If you don't want to admit it, let me check it myself."

That sentence made her eyes widen. Don't tell...

"Xavier, control yourself! X!"

The handsome face drew closer, she could feel the minty breath sweeping from her jaw, then her ears, and ending in the crook of her neck.

"Don't be crazy! Xavier! Please...."

She was pounding even more when Xavier pulled her tied hands above her head, then violently tugged at her tight shirt until the buttons fell off and fell on the floor.

"You remember, right, baby? Whether I'm the good or the bad version, I can be anything. All of that...." Xavier pulled Rachel's waist which started to move away. "Depends on how you treat me."

"X, control yourself! Xavier, I beg you!"

Xavier smiled for a moment when he heard Rachel's little soften. However, this didn't at all dampen the emotions and passions that had started to creep in, especially when he saw the chest swell beneath him.

Rachel's eyes narrowed. She shook her head in panic, as Xavier began to unhook his belt and lower his pants.

She was more panicked as soon as something down there came out of the nest and raised straight.

"No, X. I ...." Rachel felt a big lump in her throat. "I'm still a virgin," she admitted.

She saw the man raise an eyebrow. A sign that Xavier doubted the confession. But soon the man laughed a little and said, "Is that so? Why do I feel so doubtful now?"

"I swear! I'm not lying," she said trying to reassure him, with her body starting to squirm again when Xavier came down on her again.

Rachel was trying desperately to keep her fears from being too obvious.

"Virgin or not, no matter how many hands have touched this body...." Xavier began to bury his face in the crook of her neck, then crawled down and ended up in her cleavage. "I don't care. I'll erase all traces of them. Every inch. Every inch. I won't miss it all!"

Rachel shook her head even more panicked. Trying hard to hold back the moans as his lips and fingers began to wriggle trying to activate every sensitive point.

Oh, Lord! What kind of destiny is this? What will happen to her later?!

Her virgin is on the brink, by a man who is none other than her ex who is the boss. A man... who already has another woman to marry.
