The beginning stages in the merger had gone off without a hitch. A huge amount of money had passed hands, new warehouses were being built, and Xavier had met with more technology bigwigs in the past two weeks than he had in his entire life. It was an awe-inspiring, humbling experience.
It was also incredibly lonely.
Though his days were packed with running around to try and meet all his deadlines âin addition to squeezing in some of the hands-on time he loved â eventually, he always had to go home to the immense house heâd bought with plans of starting a family.
Xavier still had the house, but no family.
Now that a month had passed since Helena had gone, he began to wonder more and more if heâd ever have one.
Four long, solitary weeks. In that time he hadnât heard a peep from the woman he loved. The thought made Xavier groan as he drew his hands down over his face helplessly.
He did still love her. It wasnât something he could be rid of as easily as that and, moreover, he wasnât sure that he wanted to be.
For almost five years, Helena had been his everything. Sheâd proven to him that what really mattered in a relationship wasnât money or sexual compatibility, but support and loyalty. She wasnât the easiest woman to love, but she was worth it. More than worth it.
Orâ¦so he had believed.
Xavier didnât really know what to think anymore. Heâd thought that he could change Helena â which he knew wasnât the proper way to go into a relationship, but she was special. It was in Helenaâs best interest to change the way she thought and felt about her family and herself. Her feelings on the subject could be just as toxic as her past, and he hated the idea of losing her to her own grief and fear.
When they were together, he reveled in making her forget where she had come from, and all sheâd been told she couldnât do â just as she believed that his parents were monumental idiots for not seeing his potential. Now that they were apart, he found himself struggling through routines that used to be mindless. It seemed like Helenaâs scent, her clothes, her possessions were everywhere, and he couldnât escape.
He wanted to box up some of her things â to purify the space â but he couldnât bring himself to do it. Even knowing that she had gotten rid of the child theyâd created wasnât enough to make him give her up.
Or, at least, the memory of her.
He clung to it like it was his lifeline, refusing to let go of the good times that had carried them through the last five years. While Xavier knew, in reality, that he should be letting it fade â along with the pain of their unborn child â he simply couldnât pluck Helena from his mind like that.
She was far too deeply entrenched for that.
Instead, he tried to busy his time with distractions. Even
