"I am glad we are on the same page," says Elisio.
"I still need a reason," says Xavier making a foul face when a nurse injects him with an injection. 
"Aren't my words enough?" Asks Elisio.
"It is and I would gladly accept your command, your highness. But she is hot" whines Xavier feeling the drug show its effects.
"You are high on drugs. We will talk about it when you are in your right senses" says Elisio.
"I know I love you, papa," says Xavier slowly shutting his eyes to fall asleep.
"Me too boy," says Elisio and runs his fingers in Xavier's hair and watch him pass out.

The next day, Charlotte enters the hospital and spots Regina walking in too. Both walk side by side but Regina takes longer slides and reaches Xavier's room first but she was stopped by the guard outside his room. Charlotte stands beside Regina and looks at her. Both girls give eachother a look but unlike Regina, Charlotte was permitted to walk in. Charlotte smiles at this small victory.

"What's got you all smiling?" Asks Xavier.
"Just happy," says Charlotte and greets Rose who was with Xavier.
A guard comes in and asks if Regina can come in. Xavier nods and the guard lets Regina in. As soon as Regina walks in, she surely glared at Charlotte.

"I heard about your accident and couldn't stop myself from visiting you," says Regina, rushes close to Xavier and hugs him while he was seated on the hospital bed.
Charlotte makes a foul face and Rose notices it.
"I am ok," says Xavier.
"You are a hero, you know. The papers can't stop praising you for saving your driver and escaping death like a super being" says Regina.
"The teenagers who were in the other car are ok with minor injuries. They will face charges though" says Charlotte.
"I am sorry but I don't think we have met," says Regina to Charlotte.
"She is my secretary," says Xavier.
"Must be hard being around such an attractive boss" says Regina.
"Devonte corps has a strict rule to not mix business and pleasure. I could get fired to even think of an affair within the office" says Charlotte.
"My hubby is much more handsome. Xavi is ok, I guess" says Rose giggling making Xavi narrow his eyes at her.

Regina walks close to Charlotte while Rose was laughing with Xavier and whispers "at least you know your place"
"I do, ma'am," says Charlotte smiling a sad smile.

"Mom, did you feed my children?" Asks Xavier.
"They are not children. They are monsters" says Rose annoyed.
"You must have been hostile towards them. Mom, they are very sensitive" says Xavier.
"I am sorry but you have children?" Asks Regina completely confused.
"Yes, two," says Xavier.
"I hope those are not the only grandchildren I get," says Rose.
"Why does no one know about your children? And do I ever get to meet them? After all, I am your girlfriend" says Regina side-eyeing Charlotte.
"You should meet them. They are very friendly" says Charlotte smirking.
Regina was confused but agreed to visit Xavier after his discharge to meet his... children?

Regina gasped when she saw Xavier's children.
"Meet my children. Spike and Vixen" says Xavier seated on a huge chair, in his house with his two huge Danes standing alert on his sides.
"Aren't they cute?" Says Charlotte standing beside Regina.
"They are something," says Regina and tries to approach the Danes but takes her step back when they bark.
"Oh god. I didn't notice them the few times I was here" says Regina, trying to put some distance between her and the dogs.
"You visit at night and they are in the outhouse, sleeping at that hour but alert for any danger I may be in," says Xavier, and Charlotte didn't like to hear about their time together alone.

A maid serves them red vine but every time Regina tried to sit next to Xavier, the dogs growled. She tried to ignore them and approach Xavier but was startled by Vixen's bark. Regina was close to Xavier and spilled her glass of  vine on him.
"Xavier, I'll come back next time when you have them outside," says Regina and rushes out of the house.

"Shit" curses Xavier looking down at his clothes. He struggles to unbutton his shirt as his one hand was in a sling.
"Let me help you," says Charlotte and helps him stand up, walks him to his bedroom, and then to his bathroom. He was struggling to walk cause of his fractured leg which was in a cast.

Xavier leans his back on the bathroom sink letting Charlotte remove his shirt and clean him.
"Mama will be here soon, she can help me," says Xavier.
"It's ok. I don't mind" says Charlotte and unbuttons his shirt. He had a bandage around his ribs but his upper chest was enough to make Charlotte's eyes bulge out. He was no doubt a very well-built specimen and imagining what was under his suit and seeing upfront were two different things.

Charlotte gulps down and wets a towel to whip the vine stains off his perfect chest.
"The bandage is wet too," says Charlotte.
"My pants are wet too," says Xavier, and Charlotte looks up at him. She looks down and unhooks his belt. She then slowly removes his belt and places it on the counter nearby. She very carefully slides her finger into his pants and holds the button. She unbuttons his pants and very cautiously, not wanting to touch his crotch, unzips his pants. She holds the pants from their waist on both sides and slides them down, bending down to remove them entirely. She crouched down and removes his pants one leg at a time. She holds his pant in her hand and looks up front. She was on eye level with his crotch bulging out of his boxers. She looks away and stands up and picks up the wet towel. She wets the towel in warm water and starts to wipe him. She wipes his chest, taking her own time. She wets her lips adoring god's beautiful creation in from of her. She was lost in her world when she suddenly freezes. Xavier moves his face close to her, he moves his lips close to her ear making her close her eyes to smell his intoxicating perfume. He breathes on her neck making all her nerves stand up in alert. She was ready to risk it all. Obey his command. He could end her and she would only thank him.

"Charlotte" he whispers in her ear, causing goosebumps all over her body. She moans listening to her name and he continues "I am going to catch a cold standing naked and wet in the cold bathroom"

Charlotte comes back to reality and opens her eyes wide. She looks at Xavier smirking at her and she blushes. She looks away and dries his chest with a dry towel.
"Help me dress up," says Xavier and both enter his closet. She helps him into a pant and a shirt. This time she finished the task in a hurry.

Xavier was all ready and Charlotte was ready to walk him to the living room where Sabrina was going to pick him up to take to her mansion.
"Come, sir," says Charlotte ready to help him but he didn't budge. He was watching her without an expression. He manages to stand up and approaches her, she helps him and he says "you are wet"
"How did you know?" Asks Charlotte squeezing her thighs together.

Xavier runs the back of his two fingers on her blouse just over the outline of her breast and says "I can see your pink bra"
Charlotte looks down and sees her blouse is indeed wet. How did it get wet? No idea.

"You can wear one of my t-shirts," says Xavier and leans back at the center island in his huge closet. He watches as Charlotte walks away and picks a t-shirt. She looks at Xavier watching him.
"I'll change in the bathroom," says Charlotte.
"You don't have anything I haven't seen. Anyway, you saw me naked. At least I am not pulling your pants down" says Xavier and Charlotte turns away from him and unbuttons her blouse. She hesitantly removes her blouse and in one quick motion, changes into his t-shirt. She looks back at Xavier smiling at her.
"Nice rack," says Xavier.
Charlotte looks up front and sees a mirror. She has her back on him but stood in front of a mirror. She awkwardly looks at Xavier and Xavier laughs at her awkward behaviour.
"Come on. Help me to the living room. Papa and mama must be here" says Xavier and Charlotte helps him walk to the living room.

Sabrina and Elisio were indeed present in the living room.
"All packed?" Asks Sabrina after greeting Charlotte.
"I still insist to stay in my own home," says Xavier.
"And who would take care of you?" Asks Sabrina.
"Charlotte can. She took very good care of me just a few minutes ago" says Xavier.
Elisio looks at Charlotte wearing one of Xavier's t-shirts. He looks at Xavier and Xavier says "she was wet"
Elisio doesn't say anything and calls the guard to help Xavier into the car. Xavier calls for a guard to drop Charlotte at her home and leaves with Elisio and Sabrina.

"She is such a good girl," says Sabrina with a smile but Xavier was watching Elisio who had not spoken a word yet, which means he was plotting something.

A few days went by and Xavier had recovered pretty well. He was pampered by Sabrina and spent the evening with Elisio discussing business. Charlotte would bring files and papers for him to sign or would simply work on face time.
"Bring me the file in the evening," says Xavier on a call with Charlotte.
"Sir, I'll bring it in the morning. I have some personal work in the evening" says Charlotte.
"You always have some personal work in the evening, especially on the weekends," says Xavier.
"Yes sir," says Charlotte, and Xavier cut the call.
Xavier was seated in the living room and sees Elisio watching him, standing at the threshold. He walks in and says "you should go out"
"I can't. My leg is still in the cast" says Xavier and sees Agnolo walk in from behind Elisio.
"Brought the clutches. So, where are we going?" Asks Agnolo excited.
"The driver will take you both," says Elisio.
"Papa, where are we going?" Asks Xavier a little suspicious.
"You wanted a reason," says Elisio and Xavier creases his eyebrows confused as to what Elisio was referring to.

Agnolo and Xavier walk into a strip club. It was a very posh club with men in suits and private areas guarded by huge bouncers.
"Mr. Devonte. You have a private booth reserved for you. This way please" says a girl wearing only her underwear and heels. Both brothers walk into the booth and take their seats beside eachother.
"What was papa thinking? I don't want to get my dick sucked in front of you" says Agnolo.
"It's a strip club. You only watch" says Xavier extremely confused as to why were they here. It's not like Xavier or Agnolo needed this.

But as soon as the stripper walks into the booth. Xavier understood why he was here. Xavier asked for a reason to not date Charlotte and Elisio was giving him one. No way, a huge business tycoon like Elisio Devonte would want his grandson to date a stripper who danced for money.
Yes, Xavier and Agnolo were flabbergasted seeing Charlotte in front of them, ready to entertain them.
