Tears had actually never been in Xaden's dictionary before,not until Mira came into his life where he could simply Cry if she were to get hurt.
He took another long gulp from the bitter tasting drink, he let himself go as he walked towards the huge sofa in the living room and relaxed on it.
A small ironic smile appeared on his face as he suddenly remembered who he actually was, Xaden Reigns,the god of the business world and the most coveted man in the business Industry whom people fought for like a huge tinder...well, this was what the so called Xaden Reigns actually was behind closed doors,it was a shame wasn't it...
He was a ten when it came to everything,be it looks,wealth,power or fame,he got them all but then as they say money couldn't buy happiness.
He used to make fun of that proverb all his life but today he realized it was true, because as of today he could lend a country billions and still have enough money to retain top 3 richest in the country but all these things meant nothing to him now when the person for whom he had all this for was unwell,when the person who made him happy wasn't around him.
He took another gulp from the drink as he began to reminisce on when he and Mira were still dating,he remembered how he used to drink whenever he got upset but then he was forced to put down that habit of his because of Mira as she always came running the moment she saw him handle a bottle, she'd never even allow him take a single glass and this was because she hated the slightest whiff from anything alcoholic and the fact that her fiance,her future husband loved drinking didn't go down well with her and so for her Xaden had no choice but to minimize his drinking habits such that he now only drank when ever he was invited to parties or in business meetings with foreign partners but today,he was drinking and Mira wasn't here to stop him.
Few minutes later, Xaden closed his eyes as sweet slumber soon began calling his name,he knew he was heavily drunk now and wouldn't make it to the room so he decided to sleep there,he gently rested his heavy head on the comfy couch and after a few seconds,he dozed off with one leg laying on the sofa and the other outside with the almost emptied bottle by his side,he looked so handsomely wasted..
When Xaden opened his heavy eyes again,he struggled to get up as he felt the urge to pee but as he looked ahead of him,his breath hitched as soon as he saw her, although his vision was quite blurry but the flaming red hair in which his eyes were seeing was enough to intoxicate the already intoxicated him.
She looked very normal as she gently walked towards him with measured steps, dressed in a beautiful and seductive night gown similar to the one she'd worn on their wedding night and hot damn!!!! She looked ravishing and mesmerizing,her beauty indeed could never be compared to anything or anyone else.
As she slowly walked towards him, Xaden found himself lost in her beauty " Mira...." He whispered her name with all the love in the world " you're okay now " he whispered again still laying on the couch.
He saw her put up a confused face before she walked towards the couch and sat beside him,she was about to feel his temperature but before her hand could reach his forehead,Xaden hungrily snatched the hand and immediately brought them to his lips and placed a kiss on it.
His eyes returned back to hers still not letting go of the hand " I've missed you love" he confessed in a weak and tired voice,his eyes brimming with hot tears as he stared at her.
Before she could react or say anything,he quickly jerked up,and although his head felt like he was gonna fall off,he didn't care. He moved and lovingly cupped her face looking deep into her eyes.
His handsome face was a mask of confusion as he stared at her, although he was seeing his wife but something deep inside him told him he was about to do something extremely wrong,but what could be wrong about this,she was his wife and he was her husband she was his and he was hers so what could possibly be wrong about him kissing her.
He brushed aside all thoughts of him doing wrong and he inched his face closer to hers,it's been long since he kissed her.
Their foreheads touched and his lips parted,he was just about to capture her lips when something snapped in his brain and he opened his eyes wide to see a Daniella in front of him with their lips about to touch.
As though he had just been poured cold water,he pushed her hard and jumped backwards in utmost shock,it was as though he had just seen a ghost.
" Daniella!!!!!!" he exclaimed looking confused as he stared at her who was still sitting on the couch pulling up the confused look. " What the hell are you doing here " he asked,his chest heaving up and down in fear and shock from what he was just about to do.
" I i,I'm so sorry Xaden" she replied standing up and taking a step forward but Xaden immediately took a step backwards too almost as if avoiding her " I only came to check on you but it appears you were sleep talking, I tried talking to you that,that I wasn't Mira but you weren't listening" she lied feigning sad eyes. " And,and I didn't want to shove you off harshly because I knew you weren't in your right senses and that's why I tried talking to you " she added.
