Xavier’s pov
“Well, you are right, Jessica is being targeted specifically, they haven’t started yet but soon, so you need to be careful ”
“So, they are also responsible for my parents death?”
“I am not sure if that, it seems like a contract work, they were targeted based on a client’s request, same with Jessica but the instructions is not to kill but I don’t know what they were to do”
“We need to find out what before it’s too late, am no longer using her as a bait she is important to me than anything”
“Okay, I will do so, later”
“Good, I need to go, my wife is coming”
I watched as Jessica came out of the bathroom in a sexy black nightwear, it made her pale skin glow and shine, she really is a beautiful lady, I went into the bathroom to avoid embarrassing myself by showing her my hard on.
JESSICA’S POV
I came out of the bathroom, my mind blank and still thinking about the message I got, I picked my phone and called a guy I know that helps us with investigating people,
“Hello ma’am ”
“Hello Blac”
“So, how may I help you ?”
“I will send a number to your phone, I need you to find out the owner and where he is”
“Okay”
We ended the call and I sent the number to receive an okay emoji, I sat down on the bed, rereading the messages again and again, I debated whether to tell Xavier about it but decided against it.
He came out from the bathroom looking as sexy as always, if not for the awkwardness between us or the circumstances surrounding our marriage, I don’t mind having such a hunk as my husband.
I went to sleep that night after attending to grandfather thinking about everything, I realised that I didn’t know much about Xavier or their family’s origin, all I know is that they own Metro company and he is my husband, but I never really checked everything. Deciding on doing that the next day through blac, I went to sleep.
The bird’s high note early morning song and chirping rose me from sleep, I noticed I was holding something warm and squishy and I buried my face into it listening to it’s heartbeat, it sounded so….. wait, what!… heartbeat? My eyes opened suddenly just for me to come face to face with a a slightly dark nipple staring at me, it looks suckable,
“Enjoying the view”
I pushed the chest but the impact sent me tumbling backwards but a strong hands held me back, my back in the bed with Xavier on top my, my eyes widened in surprise,
“W… what, what are you doing?”
“Nothing just trying to save you from a potential concussion ”
“Okay, thanks now get off”
“Oh, sorry, you were so soft for a second there I thought it was the bed”
“Asshole, get the hell of me”
He laughed loudly as he released me, the sound reverberating like thunder off his chest, I looked at him to see his smug face, oh how I would love to wipe it off his face with my fist, as if he read my mind he laughed even more,
“I heard people die from laughter these days”
“Yes but definitely not me”
“Who knows it could be”
“You are just being bitter and can’t say how my laughter tingles your body and send it to overdrive ”
“Haa, if narcissism is actually a human, it will surely be you”
I went into the bathroom, my cheeks red like a freshly cultivated tomato sprinkled with water, I freshened up and wore my robe outside, he was smirking as he watched me go into the walk in closet and soon I heard the bathroom door clicking.
30 minutes, yes, 30 minutes was what it took a man to dress up in casual wear to eat, while I the lady took up not more than 10 minutes, I grumbled all the way to the dinning, grandfather was already there.
“Good morning father”
I greeted as I pecked him at his both cheeks
“Good morning daughter in law, how was your night?”
“Was actually great father and yours?”
“Same old, same old, you look upset, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing is wrong father just a usual fart”
Xavier snickered loudly,
“Xavier, what did you do?”
“Nothing, grandfather, you know am an absolute angel”
“And that’s why am asking what did you do, black angel?”
Then it’s my turn to laugh at him,
“That’s hurts my feelings grandfather, I thought I am your favourite grandson ”
“You are my only grandson, you brat, treat your wife right”
I watched as Xavier poured his lips, it was amusing and might say adorable, I chucked and served grandfather his food and then Xavier and when I wanted to serve me, he overtook my and did it, I mouthed a thank you to him.
The rest of the food was done in silence, the only conversation going on was with our eating utensils. After eating we stayed with grandfather a bit before strolling outside.
I went to visit the green house again, the birds sang a bird song as if welcoming me once I stepped into the green house.
It looked as serene as before, I felt at peace,
my trouble this past weeks washing and melting away, I was enjoying the smell of flowers, the birds chirping, the sound of the artificial water fountain, it was all calming.
“AHH, I wish I can stay here forever but I know that’s not possible, I have to go to work, and find out who this person is, Xavier is caring, I…. I think I like him but this message is scaring me, what if everything is true, what if he has another motive, I don’t think I….”
The buzzing of my phone brought my out, I looked at it thinking that it was the anonymous person but it wasn’t, it’s was BLAC….
