• Beyond Doubt    8. It's hell.

  Xander sat outside the hospital room while the doctors worked on Francine. He contemplated calling Christina but that would just result in an 'I told you so', he wasn't ready to take blame for something he didn't do.So he just sat and prayed she would be okay, when she recovered he would give her a mouthful. She had to take care of her health, he honestly did not like what happened today one bit. Seeing her fall like that, it did something to him, seeing her so vulnerable.No Xander. Don't fall for it, just because she is sick doesn't change anything. He scolded himself. His phone rang in his pocket, he pulled it out, Martin."Hello, boss?" Martin said from the phone."Martin, I assume you've come back.""Yes boss, Sarah told me you were in the hospital? Is everything alright. Shall I call the Mrs?"Xander groaned "don't dare call my mother, and I'm no

• Beyond Doubt    7. Personal assistant II

  The lawyer couldn't have stayed away longer, Xander couldn't stand the sight of her, and from her own facial expression it appeared neither could she. She sat on the couch at the other side of the room, unable to be any closer. That was a scene.Xander sat behind his desk observing her, she sat forward legs crossed hunched down with her elbow on her legs. Her head was resting on her palms. She looked a bit fatigued, he blamed it on the stairs, that was a nice punishment. The state she showed up in was very satisfactory but now she had agreed to four months. He would teach her how to be responsible and trustworthy."Give me your phone number" he said, breaking the silence that fell upon them."Excuse me?" She lifted her head."We're going to have to exchange numbers now that you're going to be my P.A" he said looking at his nails as he played with his fingers."I still have your card, I'll call

• Beyond Doubt    6. Personal assistant.

  Xander did what?" Christina asked."I'm sure I was pretty clear Christina, your idiot brother sued me for 500000 dollars" Francine paced gripped her hair and screaming.She grabbed her wet purse, dead phone and stormed out of the apartment. She was going to give that peice of shit a bit of her mind. Just because she was a Christian didn't mean she'd let people walk all over her. That was just not her, she would never be the weak one. Sue knew when to yield and this was definitely a time to fight. All she saw now was red."Francine! Francine! Where doing you think you're going to?" Christina yelled after her."Where else, to beat some sense into that idiot brother of yours!" She explained when Christina finally caught up to her."And what your going to his office? He not going to be there" Christina huffed."Okay, well what's his address then?""I'm not telling yo

• Beyond Doubt    5. Means of escape.

  Martin got up early to go stalk Miss Francine. At seven he was already sitting in his black SUV sipping coffee and listening to the radio. He waited for an hour and a half before she finally came out. Dressed in a pencil grey skirt and a black crop top, with a grey blazer to match, really high black strapped heels. He had to admit she looked too good to just be going to church. Most churchgoers he knew just did it casual, Jeans and a top, sneakers at best. But she dressed like someone heading for a party if she'd lose the blazer and the large hat that sat at the back to her head, pushing her natural curls out to frame her face.He still wondered why Xander seemed so interested in her, sure enough she was pretty but he had certainly come across prettier. He started his ignition as she got into a cab, lucky for her she managed to hail one in less than ten minutes. Giving a little distance so as not to be noticed he followed he

• Beyond Doubt    4. Takes one to know one.

  "Francine!" Christina screamed as she ran after her. "Damn it!" She cussed as she stubbed her toe, she bent down to inspect her now throbbing toe. Gosh this was bad, she had a shoot tomorrow for louboutins this toe looked badly injured.She tried to walk but immediately stopped when the pain became unbearable. Ugh! She immediately hated the lace heels she was currently wearing, swearing under her breath that she would never ever set eyes on it ever again. She wobbled over to a sit and bent over to massage her toe, which was already turning purple. The colour made her sick, gagging and coughing trying to hold in the vomit that kept rising into her gullet.She tasted her lunch and struggled to stop her head from spinning. The only thing she prayed for was that the toe not bleed."Wait! Xander!" She called out to him a he tore through the air past her. No answer, just great. What was happening?******************

• Beyond Doubt    3. Self control.

  Xander checked his watch, 4:30. He rang for his secretary, Sarah."Yes sir?" She poked her head through the office door."I'm going out, I hope there's nothing more on my schedule if there is clear it." He said standing up. She immediately ran to his desk and picked up his suitcase taking it after him as he left.Xander looked at the paper Mr. Martell gave him while he was in the elevator, he finally realized where address was, Christina's hostel. Then that woman is a model? She didn't look like the classic New York model. For one thing she had a well rounded and robust derriere and a much larger chest than the regular models. Regardless he found her figure pleasing, she was curvy in the very right places and she had a pretty face, wait. What was he thinking, no this woman was no good. She was pretty but that was it, no more.He got out of the elevator in the parking lot and got into his Ferrari time to go thr
