her life his love

end of commitment.

Xavier's pov

I have arrived with my family.

My father adores Nicole while my mother hates her. She just can't stand how she is. She truly would prefer Sam, but I am not going to let that get in the way of my ambitious nature. truly, I did love her before my parent's company almost faced bankruptcy, and thanks to her mother's kind nature. They helped, but I promised myself that I would be richer if I stayed with her and even better if I had all her money to myself without her to stop me.

As I'm greeting everyone, I recognize a lot of people, some I didn't expect. like the lace triplets. Why would they be here? They are hardly seen. As soon as they spot me, they give me a handshake and introduce themselves as Nicole's cousins.

I'm still looking for Alex. He runs an empire not just as a businessman but also as a lawyer. I'm hoping to talk to him to see if I can manage some business. then maybe I can take them from under him. it won't matter he and I weren't close growing up.

I see Sam coming down in a soft pink gown. She looks beautiful. Soon enough, we are greeting each other, but she keeps her distance. why does this distance hurt?

no, why would it? I don't feel anything for her. She was just a pastime, and I will achieve my objectives.

Soon, our parents came to us and informed me that Nicole was waiting in the office.

My parents decide to stay behind, and a look of worry comes to their face, but they mask it.

I'm about to walk in when I see a man coming out of her office as we stare at each other, and suddenly, I feel chills like something bad is going to happen.

soon enough, I walk in with her parents

"Baby, you look beautiful," I say

I can't. wait to take her, then dump her as soon as I reach my objective

she smiles and says, "Hey, sit so we can get it over with."

"Honey, I will sign it, but are you sure you want your brother managing your shares and money."

yes, I'm sure you have your family's business to handle.

"All right, then I can review it before signing."

"Be my guest," she said

I look at the but what I see isn't what I'm supposed to sign

TRANSFER OF SHARE

"Nicole, what is this"

"Idk why don't you tell me why Sam is pregnant," she said.

"excuse me Sam is pregnant," I said

"yes why don't you know," she said

"Who is the father" I said

"you Xavier," she said

"Before you try to deny anything I heard you in the garden. you wanted to get rid of me after we got married. or idk did you tell Sam to get rid of it." she said

this can't be happening right now who the f**k does she think she is. I can't let her break off the engagement. How am I supposed to live as a king without her fortune?

"I'm not signing this because Sam is not pregnant with my child. Do you doubt my love for you? We grew up together. Baby, I didn't want to tell you, but she approached me, and I rejected her. this is all her scheme."

"ohh really," she said while her expression turned cold.

"yes"

She pulls out Sam's phone, opens it, reads the messages, and looks at the images I sent her.

she let out a small chuckle when she saw my erection.

"I can't believe a man this small has the balls to plan such a thing," she said

"Baby, stop before I do something that you'll regret," I said through gritted teeth.

Suddenly, I feel her dad's hands on me.

"Do what? you think in my presence you will lay a hand on her"

"Sir that's not what I meant I just wanted her to stop this at once"

Why? Your manhood was on the life filth. Sign the dam papers and get the f**k out of my house.

"No, I didn't do anything wrong; those images and text have been altered. " I said confidently

"Sign them or watch as I ruin your family by leaving you without a penny," he says

fear creeps into me. I can't be ruined; I can't admit to my wrongdoings.

"No, I won't. This is all false; I haven't done anything. Are you framing me, Nicole? Are you with that man that came out just now, u b***h".

before I can say another word I am kicked and punched by her father.

"sign the dam papers or leave even without your shares my grandson will need of nothing." her father says

"he isn't mine. I am not going to sit here and be accused of something I didn't do; I yelled, Nicole, this engagement is over."

I get up off the floor and leave. damnit, I had to leave as if I was offended.

I wanted her to come and beg for forgiveness.

as I get in my car I see a message

--fine by me. Don't say there was no warning bye, scum!

I bang the steering wheel. This is all SSam's fault. If she didn't get pregnant, if she didn't follow me to the garden, none of this would be happening.

if I can't have Nicole,I will have Sam, even if that means pretending I am courting her. She is the next best thing.

I just have to convince her to play along and get my mother on board..

she will get this marriage to go on so we can save face, and so can they.
