Xavion Xavier
.
"Who did this to you, Xav? Is it Dominic?" Hendrix asked quietly from my side. I weakly shook my head.
My whole body is covered in bruises. I have broken bones in every part of me. It's painful, but nothing compares to the pain in my heart.
I was fooled, and I couldn't accept it. I offered my heart genuinely for the first time, and this is what I got in return. I underestimated her. I thought she was different from all the girls who wanted my attention.
I trusted her and gave her my heart. I admit it was careless of me, and I didn't expect this. I thought she loved me. I thought she'd stick to me no matter what. I was wrong. It was a mistake to like her from the start.
Hendrix stood up and looked at me. It's evident. He was angry and wanted revenge for this. I shut my eyes as I felt weak. I can hear my mother talking to the doctor outside, and I can't understand what it's all about.
.
"Your father is coming, Xav. You better tell me the truth," in Hendrix's voice. My eyes were still shut, and I couldn't move my fingers.
"I didn't see their faces, Hendrix. Someone hit my head behind, and I fell, and the rest followed. There were too many of them, and I couldn't fight back," I lied. They shouldn't know about it. I don't want to hear Quinn's name again.
"Dammit," he swore and didn't move.
I heard more than one footstep getting inside the room, and as I opened my eyes, I saw my mother's worried face. She's in tears.
"My poor baby," Mom whispered and hugged me. She caressed my head and kissed my forehead.
I chuckled in silence and wanted to laugh. But I couldn't smile properly because every time I tried to express an effort of expression, the pain became uncomfortable inside me.
Heck, my mother still calls me her baby, and I'm an effing twenty-one years old.
"Thank you, Dr Kim. I'll take care of my son from here."
My ears heated, and Mom stood up. We both looked in his direction.
Damn it. It's my father.
Mom hugged him, and I looked my father in the eyes. I haven't seen him for half a decade, and he looks like a tiger that just came out of his den. Looks dominant, profound, and Don. Hendrix moves to the side and is quiet.
"How are you, son? You look. . . great." His smile crinkled the corner of his dark eyes. "I'm taking you with me," he winked.
"What?" My mother looked at my father with fear.
"Don't worry, darling. It's time for Xavion to learn the defense. He's no longer a baby, right, Hendrix?" in my father's baritone voice. I know he's looking at Hendrix like a tiger.
"I-I agree, Sir." Hendrix stammered and weakly nodded. He looked down at his shoes.
"Of course, you are coming with us, darling. I miss you." My father to my mother. He hugged and kissed Mom.
I pressed my lips together and swore in silence.
Dammit. It will be hell for me from now on, but it's better. I want to forget everything here. I want to forget about Quinn.
I don't care what kind of hell I will face from now on. I will forget my heart and move on. It's time for reality, and this is my reality.
"You are coming too, Hendrix. But I will drop you in Belmont. Your father is waiting for you." My father to him. Hendrix looked at me, and his eyes looked like he had s**t himself.

TEN YEARS NOW

I looked heavenward and shut my eyes in pleasure. I groaned in the back of my mind, and the tension in my body built up.
She's good. There's no doubt about that. Her mouth went more profound, and the tight satisfaction gave a crisp silver thin lining of my past. And as soon as her hand touched the skin of my stomach, I immediately stopped her.
I swore silently and stood up before I could ejaculate in her mouth.
She looked pissed off at me, and I smirked. Then, I turned away to get out of the room. Uno greeted me as I opened the door.
"f**k you, Xavion!" She screamed and called me names.
I heard her, alright. I left her plenty of cash, twenty times fold for a hooker's price.
"Drive her back to where she came from, Uno," I ordered Uno. He bowed to me and then went inside the room to support Samantha.
Tre, one of my bodyguards, who is close to me, approaches me with a warning message in his eyes.
"The Don Supremo wants to see you at the headquarters, double X," he stated.
My jaw tightened as I headed towards the elevator. It opened, and Tre pushed the last number at the top provided with a unique ID. I looked at his fingers, and he seemed tense. He stood up a few feet from me, right at the door.
"Who's waiting at the TOP?" I asked and studied the expression on his face.
"It's your cousin, boss. Bryce," he formally answered.
