Chapter 2

"Good morning Mr.Hunt. You have a meeting with Canadian investors at eleven then interview for the new post. Marriage counseling at four tailing dinner with Mrs.Alexia at seven." I finished.

"Get the conference hall ready." He ordered still not acknowledging my presence.

"Yes sir." I nodded.

I knew the Canadian investors were very important to Xavier. He had been trying to crack the deal with them since forever and this was the very first they recognized us.

If everything went well this contract could bring a good amount of fortune in Hunt industries.

When the clock struck eleven Xavier was getting ready for the meeting.I could feel his anxiety and I had to do something to console him.

"Mr.Hunt." I called him

"What?" He half yelled looking straight to my eyes.

"Umm All the best I know you can do this well.I'm rooting on you." I said while fixing his crooked tie.

He was looking at my eyes as if looking straight to my soul.I was in search of a curtain to stop this vulnerability. I was mesmerized by his aura.

Breaking the contact he made his way to the conference room. "Good morning gentlemen I am Xavier Hunt. CEO of Hunt industries. I welcome you all and convey my hundred percent transparency throughout the meeting and further deals."

Xavier went like lion in the conference room and kept his claws all over the places.

He undoubtedly was the king that knew his potentiality but always silent and saint.

This is one of the reason I fell for him.

"The deal is yours, Mr.Hunt." One of the members summoned the meeting finally bringing the brightest smile on Xavier's face.

When he is happy I'm double happy.

"Thank you Mr.Miller.We can start on the paperwork by today and draw the contract two weeks from now following celebration party." Xavier extended his hand.

"Sure." Mr.Miller smiled.

When everybody made their way out of the room I was fixing the papers and memo suddenly a hug engulfed me.

"Thank you for your support," Xavier said while hugging me tightly.

"You know it was piece of a cake for you." I patted his back.

"I was nervous Bela truly nervous. My hands were shaking but your moral support always works like magic to me. You are a miracle to me." He kissed my forehead making me close my eyes.

"Treat the fairy lunch if you really want," I smirked.

"Yes, why not." He laughed along with me.


"Table for two." Xavier requested the lady.

"This way sir." She led us to far away corners.

"What can I get you for a drink?" She took her tab on.

"Two red wine," Xavier ordered.

"No.Make it one.I-I'll just have ice water," I yelled in hassle.

"Are you sure you are rejecting the red wine?" He raised his eyebrow.

"Umm-yeah." I hooked my head down.

"Why is Isabella Cloe rejecting wine? This is the first time I am witnessing it?" He further bowed his head to look my face.

"I-I interview. I don't want to mess in the interview today." I bit my tongue.

"Of course.Interview.Isn't there any way to pursue you not to resign?" He led his hand above mine making me shiver and tingle butterflies around my belly.

"I-I have made my mind already," I whispered not meeting his eyes.

"Who will boost my confidence before every meeting?" He sighed.

"I will always be there cheering for you." I chuckled making the mood light.

"But you are resigning." He pouted that made my heart escape a beat.

"Come here." He gestured making me stand on my feet near him.

He hugged me by my waist laying head on my belly.

"Bela you-" His eyes widened like he felt something surprising.

Is it my bump?

"You have put on some belly fat?" He narrowed his eyes linking his eyebrows.85

"What??Yeah... I have been missing morning jog." I didn't totally lie. Due to the morning sickness, I was missing my jog. I'm sure I can get back to it once I'm fine.

"You will look cute even if you are chubby." He pinched my cheek making me fifty shade redder.

"What about working once a week?" He proposed, tilting his head a littlle to see me better.

"What?" I snapped my head towards him, my eyes narrowing in confusion.

"Yeah once a week just to summarize the weekday events?" Why can't he understand I won't be able to see him by any means? I will start showing up after a month or so.

"I-I will think about it." I facepalmed myself. I shouldn't be giving in, dammit! But why can't I help it?

"Think about it but I want my result positive." He demanded. Bossy much? I nodded.

"Ok then let's have our lunch. Have you selected your college yet?" He asked out of blue.

No, I am not planning to study at all but what can I say.

"I have shortlisted some colleges but they are way too expensive."I fabricated my answer.

"I can always help you financially." He met my eyes assuring his support, smiling with the sweetest smile he could give.

Oh, I love this guy so much.

"Just aware me where you wanna study I will process all the formalities." I nodded continuously.

Lying is not my forte and lying Xavier is drowning me deep down. Should I literally apply for some college while I am pregnant just to reflect his sincerity on helping me? I can't believe I am making all of these lies. More importantly, I can't believe that I'm pregnant with Xavier's child. The truth is, I want to get out of this shithole but what can I do? I like Xavier so damn much I don't think I could afford to lose him. But where will this forbidden relationship bring us?
