19 Chapter 20

~Victoria's POV

I sit up and stretch my arms to the ceiling, cracking a few bones in the process. I yawn loudly as I look around my room

A deep chuckle startles me. I gasp and turn to see Xavior with his arms behind his head, looking at me with an amused expression. I have completly forgotten that Xavior had spent the night.

I laugh to cover my embarrassment and bury my face in my hands, I hear Xavior's voice over my groans. "So this is what you look like in the morning when I'm not here?" he says laughing.

I try to hit his chest but he grabs my wrist and pulls me towards his him. He begins running his hands through my hair creating an atmosphere that is very calming and peaceful.

He takes his other hand and brings my leg up so that it hangs on his waist. He then begins massaging the my thigh and moves his hand up to my butt. "Xavior, stop." I swat his hand away

I move off of him so that I can take a shower. "Where do you think you're going?" I hear Xavior's deep voice speak to me. "I'm going to take a shower. Duh" I say rolling my eyes and continue my journey to the bathroom.

Before I could shut the door, Xavior pushes me in and locks the door behind him. I give him an 'are you serious' look. He leans on the door causing his muscles to show through his shirt.

I cross my arms over my chest to make a strong statement. "Can you please leave, I want to take a shower." I say bluntly. He does not move from his spot, instead he stares at me with a blank emotion. "No" he says in a monotone voice.

I stand shocked at his blunt reply, but nevertheless he moves and turns on the faucet and starts removing his clothes. Oh maybe he wanted to use the shower first. I think to myself and I make my way to the door.

As I am about to open the door I feel Xavior push the door shut and locking it from behind me. I release a breath of annoyance before turning around to smack some common sense into his brain.

I turn around only to be directly face to face with Xavior caging me between his arms. The whole plan of knocking some common sense has left the building as the words cannot come out of my mouth.

Xavior looks at me with such intensity that it's almost suffocating, and the mist from the warm water is not helping either. "Shower with me." Xavior says. Before I can protest he speaks up first. "I'm not taking no for an answer."

Not wanting to cause any more trouble, I silently start removing my clothes while Xavior watches me. I plan on giving him the silent treatment so that he can see how angry I am.

Once everything is off, I ignore Xavior's gaze and make my way to the shower. Xavior tries to help me up but I ignore his hand and get in myself. He sighs and climbs in behind me.

I stand under the warm water, relaxing as the droplets hits my skin repeatedly. Xavior moves my hair to the side and lowers his head to kiss my neck but I move away. "Don't touch me." I say in a angry manner. I can tell Xavior is shocked by the way he moves away from me suddenly

"What's going on? Why are you so angry at me?" he asks. I ignore him and begin to scrub myself. When I'm done, I move around Xavior to get out of the shower, but Xavior grabs me by my waist and pulls me towards him for a hug.

My breast knocks against his chest and I wrap my arms around his neck to stop me from slipping. Xavior holds me up by my waist still hugging me tightly.

All that anger from minutes ago starts to disappear as he still continues to hold me tightly. "Baby I'm sorry that I made you upset. Please forgive me" he says with his head buried in my neck. I sigh in pleasure as he begins to kiss my sweet spot.

"Forgive me please" he says again but this time moving his kisses to the valley of my breast. I small moan escapes my lips when he grabs my nipple with his mouth and begins to suck on it.

He starts trailing soft kisses down my stomach. "Xavior, w-what are you doing?" I ask him in an almost inaudible whisper. He lifts my one leg up and puts it over his shoulder. "I'm apologizing." is all he says as he starts kissing my inner thighs, moving upwards to my core.

I lean my head back on the shower wall as I feel his lips grazing ever so lightly on my sweet spot. I jerk violently as he attacks my core without warning. The flicker of his tongue causes me to moan loudly in pleasure.

Xavior holds my hips in place to keep me still from moving around too much. "Oh Xavior...yes. Oh please don't stop." I say as I feel myself getting closer to my climax. He makes circular patterns with his tongue on my clit which causes me to break out in pleasure.

My legs are shaking and my body feels weak. Xavior picks me up bridal style and turns off the faucet. We step out of the shower and Xavior places me down, I grab a towel and wrap it around my body and Xavior does the same, he picks me up again and I can't help but giggle.

We walk into my room and he sets me down on the bed, we both lay on our backs and look to the ceiling. Xavior turns to me and speaks first. "Victoria, I am really sorry." I turn to him and plant a small peck on his lips. I reply with. " I know" and get up to get dressed.

Xavior reaches for his phone and dials a number. "Hey Jerry I need you to bring me clothes and a fresh pair of underwear...yes and bring it to Victoria's home.... Yes... Thank you, bye." he ends the call and turns on his side to watch me.

"Ew don't watch me you creep." I say scanning through the closet to see if there aren't any clothes left of mine still here.

I hear a deep chuckle coming from Xavior, I finally find some clothes, but they're aren't mine. Instead it's mens clothing. I throw Xavior a pair of sweat pants and a t-shirt. He puts it on while I put on an over size shirt as well as a pair of shorts.

I tie the strings tightly around my waist and check if Xavior is done. The clothes are a bit too small for him but it's only temporary.

We make our way out of my room and into the kitchen to find Jessica whipping up some breakfast for the three of us. She turns around and smiles. "Good morning you two, breakfast is almost done." she says while eyeing at what we are wearing.

"I see that you have found my brothers clothing." she says again, turning her attention back to the food.

I walk over to the cabinets to set the table. "Oh so this is Marco's clothes, what's it doing here?" I ask Jessica since Marco, her brother, is living with his parents until he finishes high school.

"He is moving in here with me. We moved some of his belongings in the mean time while he writes his exams, so by the time he's done, all his belongings will be in here." she says dishing our plates with food.

We all join to sit at the dining table and dig in, Jessica is the first to break the silence." Wow Xavior, I'm surprised that you can eat, considering the fact you ate already. " she says mischievously.

I look at her confused. "Why Would you say Xavior ate already?" I ask genuinely confused. She looks at me in a mischievous manner and says. "Because I heard what he ate or shall I say... who he ate." I finally get what she says and I blush horribly.

Xavior bursts into a fit of laughter and I place my head in my hands to cover my embarrassment. Xavior speaks up after he calms down from his laughter." That " he says while pointing at her." Was a good one"

A knock from the door causes us to stop. Xavior gets up to opens the door. Jerry, a middle aged man, is standing in the door holding a suit.

"Thanks Jerry, you can leave, I have my car parked out front." I hear Xavior tell Jerry. Xavior closes the door and heads back to my room, a few minutes later he comes back wearing a black suit looking sharp as ever.

He sits back down and pulls out his phone to show Jessica and I something." So there's this ball that's coming up and I'd like you two to come, that's only if you want to." Xavior says after showing us the invitation.

Jessica speaks excitedly. "I'd love to attend, ah I can already picture the venue, the dances and the clothes...

wait I don't have anything to wear" she says disappointed.

Xavior speaks up. "It's okay, I'll arrange a day for the two of you to go shopping." Jessica squeals and I can't help but get a bit excited as well. I've never been to a ball so it will be new territory for me.

"Jessica you will be going with my best friend, Kyle" Xavior says. Jessica nods her head in agreement. "Well" Xavior speaks up again "I would love to stay and spend some time with you" he says to me "But I have important business to attend to and you have an exam that you need to study for."

He gets up and kisses me on my forehead. He places his forehead and mine and looks me deep in my eyes before saying "Laters baby" quoting the line in Fifty shades of Grey. I laugh at his foolishness and push him away.

He waves Jessica goodbye and leaves. I turn to Jessica to see her smiling at me. "What?" I ask "Nothing" she replies while smirking and gets up to throw the dirty dishes in the sink. I get up as well to help her clean up before having another long day of studying.

~Xavior's POV

As I'm driving I dial Kyle's number, on the third ring, he picks up. "We're getting everything ready boss, the weapons are being loaded in the cars as we speak." Kyle says over the slight noise in the background.

Today we plan on blowing up the location that Daniel told us about. "Alright I'll be there shortly, we'll go over the plan and strike tonight." I say while driving through the city to get to my main warehouse.

"Okay no problem, I'll see you then." with that, I end the call and continue driving.

I pull up to the warehouse and get out of the car to find many of my men and women stacking weapons in their vehicles. I call all of them inside to discuss how everything is going to go down.

"When the clock strikes 10, we will move out so that we are there by midnight. I need everyone of you to be on guard and to be vigilant. Scout the area where you will be planting bombs, make sure its hidden and that everyone is out by the time it goes off. Do you understand? "

" Si Capo " (yes boss) my team replies. I dismiss them and head into my office to change into a more appropriate attire.

~ Later that day. The time of the attack. (10:00 p.m)

" Sono tutti pronti? "(is everyone ready?) I ask as I look over the crowd, they all reply yes and we get into our respective vehicles to head out. I brought Daniel with me so that he can guide us to the exact location.

Two hours into the drive, we have made it to Jackson's home, we all spread out to cover more ground. I order a few snipers to climb the trees to take out the guards out front.

I order the rest of the snipers to divide into the rest of the groups to circle the house. There are quite a number of guards so I tell my people to be extra alert.

Once my snipers and some guards are in place, I order the bomb planters to place bombs underneath their vehicles. The plan is to set off the bombs outside first to distract everyone, that way, we get in easier.

But it's going to be hard since it's a small window of opportunity to get in, plant the rest of the bombs, and to get out.

I look at my stop watch. " 3...2...1" the bombs go off and loud screams are heard inside the house. I keep Daniel close to me as we wait for the guards to come out, when the guards rush outside, I order my snipers to start shooting.

We rush inside with myself leading, and shooting any other guards in my way, I see Daniel picking up a gun from a dead guard and starts shooting at Jackson's men. Daniel looks at me and shouts. " Xavior get down!" I don't hesitate and I quickly duck. Gunshots are heard and I hear a body fall behind me.

I get up and nod to Daniel as a sign of respect. He nods back and starts shooting again, I get back into my mode and start shooting my way through the guards coming my way. I yell at Daniel to look for his family as I can trust that he won't do anything stupid. He shouts a thank you and runs off to look for his family.

I shoot the guards coming towards him to give him a clear path. After a long couple of minutes, the massacre is finally over, I walk over the dead bodies of Jackson's men and smile in pride. I walk around to see my men and women planting bombs.

I tell everyone to get to the vehicles immediately after they have planted the bombs. I hear Daniel coming over with his family, he covers his baby sisters eyes, she looks not a day over 4. He mouths a "thank you" and I nod back. I tell him to get to the car. I walk in deeper into the house to find any of my other guards.

I walk past a room and hear crying. I carefully walk in to find Kyle on his knees holding a picture. I put my hand on his shoulder and take him under my arms to hug him, he holds me tightly as he sobs hard, I look on the floor to see multiple pictures of Kyle and his wife.

"I miss her s-so m-much" Kyle says before breaking into a fit of sobs. I rub his back to comfort him. He rarely shows this side of him but I always knew it was there. I get up and take the box of photos and I grab Kyle to walk out.

When we reach the car, I place him in my car for I plan to take him to the place where I go to, to find peace and comfort. When I'm made aware that everyone is out and ready to go, I press the button to set off the bombs.

I order everyone to drive home and I inform a guard that Daniel and his family can stay at the house until we figure out what we're going to do with them. He was right about the fact that Jackson wasn't home.

As we're driving, I take a detour and drive to a nearby forest to speak to Kyle privately. "Where we are going Xavior?" Kyle ask confusely as he sees that we are not going with the rest of the gang. "I want to show you something." that's all I say before the car falls into a comfortable silence.

When we reach the forest. I drive in deeper until we reach a small lake. I step out of the car and Kyle does the same. I take the box of photos and we sit in front of the car, using the car to support our backs.

Once we are seated, I take out the photos and show them to Kyle. " What are we doing here man?" Kyle asks in an exhausted manner. "We need peace in our lives, you know first hand how this life can destroy us, this is the place I come to when I need peace and quiet." I explain, Kyle nods in understanding and looks at the picture of him and his wife holding each other while looking deeply into each other's eyes.

I speak up again" Why don't you explain to me what happened this day when you took this photo. " Kyle sadly smiles and starts to explain how it led up to the picture being taken.

He takes the photo, kisses it and keeps to to his head as he begins to cry again."My beautiful Claire, I'm so miserable without you." he says while putting that photo down and picks up another photo.

I ask him to explain the day that picture was taken. He begins to explain the photo and explains the story of the rest of the photos.

When he is done, he gets up and smiles at me, he helps me up and brings me into a hug. "You don't know how much I needed this man, I appreciate you." I kiss him on the cheek and he pushes me away. "Ew bro, don't make this gay." he laughs and I laugh as well before grabbing him and planting more kisses on his cheek causing him to break into a fit of laughter.

I feel my heart warm up seeing him laugh after all the crying he has done. We get into the car and I put on the radio.

Here and now by Luther Vandross starts to play. I turn it down. "Wait man, turn it up, this is the song Claire use to sing every Sunday morning when she was in the kitchen cooking up some breakfast." Kyle says as he makes his way to turn the radio louder.

He stares out the window and I see a faint smile as he begins to remember the life he had with Claire. He begins to sing to the song as a tear rolls down his cheek, it breaks my heart as I think about how much it would hurt if Victoria had to die on my hands.

When we get back, the house is silent as everyone is probably resting. It's around three in the morning. I reach for my phone and call Victoria. After a couple of rings she picks up. "Xavior, are you okay, what's wrong?" Victoria asks exhaustedly yet concerned. I smile at the thought of her worrying about me.

"Don't worry love, I'm alright, sorry for waking you up, I just needed to hear you voice before I sleep" I say honestly. " You're only going to bed now? What were you then doing all this time?" she asks aggressively.

"Don't worry about it, it was nothing serious." I say, I don't want her to be angry with me. " Well, okay, I'm going to bed, am I seeing you later today ?" she asks, "Of course mi amore, I'll come see you later today. Goodnight my darling." I tell her as I wait for her to respond, I hear her sneeze and Victoria speaking again

"Goodnight, my dear." I hear her say, I immediately hate the nickname "Don't ever say that, you're not my mother." I say sternly but in a joking manner. She laughs and bids me Goodnight before ending the call. I'm too exhausted to take a shower so I hop into bed and drift off into a heavy slumber.

~Jackson's POV

"My house is WHAT!" I yell over the phone, waking Amber. "That son of a bitch is dead." I say over the phone as one of my guards informs me my house is blown to fucking smithereens.

I walk out of the room and into my office. That bitch is going to pay! I frustratedly run my fingers through my hair.

I slam my hands on my desk continuesly while screaming , "HOW DARE THAT MUTHER FUCKER!" I will fuck his bitch in front of him while his tied up to a chair, then his sister, then kill his mother right in front of him.

"He will pay..."
