• A Beautiful Secret   Chapter 18–Abrupt Encounter I

  Xavier's POV"Come on, Xavier, grow up. You're physically mature but mentally childish"."What? Ryan, all because I said I don't wanna go clubbing with you, you choose to insult me?".He rolled his eyes and replied"You and I both know you're trying to avoid the advances the ladies there make at you. You're just being too serious with your job and sulking in a corner, watching your life fly by before you. You need to get up, get out there and live your life to the fullest, man"."Wow, I didn't know you became a therapist? I must admit, that was a good therapy session, but I'm not buying it. Sorry"."Really? Xavier, really? Out of everything I said, my amazing therapy advice was the only thing you could grab onto"."So you suggest going to the club and having fun with almost naked ladies, living my life to the fullest? I thought you were better than this, Ryan". I groaned and loosened my tie."Dude, don't blame me for having

  Galaxia's POVIt was currently Friday night and Anna was busy rummaging through my closet trying to find 'the perfect outfit'. Sophia and I were seated on my bed watching her with bored expressions.We spent the whole week together. Going to my company together, talking about meaningless things, going shopping and visiting the cinema.Of course, I had Crawford inform the malls and cinema of our visit and have them all cleared out for us. At first, Anna and Sophia didn't agree to it, but after remembering my phobia, they accepted."Guys, you know I'm not going with you to the club, right?".I said, trying to clear things out. Anna suddenly stopped and turned to us with a death glare. Sophia flinched under her gaze but I still kept my bored expression.She sighed and moved closer to us"Why are you both so boring?". She said exasperatedly and continued,"We're in New York for Christ's sake, loosen up, live, have fun. You both are j

  Galaxia's POVI was dressed up and in my car, on my way to work. Whenever I remember that man and what he did to my car, I just got more pissed off. If he's lucky, then I hope I never meet him ever again.This was what happened yesterday, Sunday.(Flashback)Ding DongI heard my door bell ring. It was 6:30a.m in the morning and I just finished my work out session. I went downstairs and opened the door to see a man with a toolbox."G-good morning Miss Galaxia. Miss Crawford said you needed me so I c-came as early as possible". He tried to sound brave but I could clearly see through his pretense.I walked out and went to my backyard, ignoring his greetings. I showed him where my car was and the damages."One heck of a bastard did that to my car". I said, my hands automatically fisted at my sides.I took a deep breath and unclenched my fists. I turned back to him and said,"Fix all of that. I don't want to see a single scratch

• A Beautiful Secret   Chapter 15–Meeting Him

  Galaxia's POVI left the Crowne's house and started heading home. I turned on the radio and started listening to the song playing. Never Be Enough by Loren Allred was being played. The singer, Loren Allred kept repeating the chorus, Never Enough and I couldn't help but feel as if she was talking about me. All I had never seemed to be enough for me.I got lost in my thoughts. Thoughts that I had been constantly pushing away started coming back. Saddening thoughts, thoughts that had been haunting my dreams ever since that tragic day.I couldn't help but feel contemptible. I felt like I was just breathing but not living. I felt incomplete and I didn't know why. Other than being constantly haunted by my past, I felt like something else was missing, something very important and that surprised me. I mean I have everything anyone could ever ask for.I have wealth, fame, beauty, authority, dominance, you name it. Hell, anything I wanted was just within my reach

• A Beautiful Secret   Chapter 14–Get Together II

  Galaxia's POVI arrived at the address and got out of my car. Looking up at the mansion before me, I took in the architecture. The mansion was fairly big and the exterior was contemporarily decorated. From the outside, you could see that the mansion was intricate. Other cars were also parked in the drive way, probably my brothers' and whosoever they had invited. I walked to the entrance and pressed the doorbell placed at the front door.A woman with brown eyes, caramel skin and shoulder length jet black hair and has a height that was almost the same as my mom, opened the door. I guess she must be Mrs Crowne."Good evening, Mrs Crowne".She gasped in shock "Oh my gosh, Galaxia, is this you?". She asked while placing her hands on the sides of my face and examining me. I pulled my lips into a tight smile, trying to hide how uncomfortable I felt, being touched by someone other than my family and friends."Yes ma'am. It's me"."You look so beauti

  One week later (Saturday)Xavier's POVFor some reason, King's Empire had been making huge amounts of profit lately and the rate at which our services were being required had skyrocketed. I mean it's a really good thing and I'm very glad that such blessing had befallen us but it has been a while since we had experienced such...what's the right word to use...breakthrough. Yeah, breakthrough. And I was hoping that whatever was causing this blessing would continue to do so.I was looking intently at the green arrow that advanced upwards on my laptop screen, indicating the level of our profits as the difference between the present percentage showing boldly on the screen and the previous one was great by a total of 76.82%.Still looking at the continually elevating arrow, I couldn't help the smile that appeared on my face as I sipped my coffee and continued working on my laptop. It was 8:30a.m. and I was currently in my office, working. A knock comes f
