Xevia's POV"Sorry," he hissed and looked at me with pity while locking the iron cage that confined me."Don't move so much that the wound on your arm stops bleeding.""Logan, please, please let me go. Get me out of here." I begged as he began walking away without looking back at me. "I can pay you, now I have a lot of money, and I promise I Will pay you. How much do you want? Logan, please," I whispered, trying to reach him. He turned around and looked at me, then said, "sorry, Xevia. I don't need your money." His eyes were shining with anger when he said this, and I knew that he was about to leave me. "You are nothing but trouble," he added coldly and walked away, leaving me alone in this. I screamed and cried for help, but nobody came. Damn, am I going to die in this iron cage? What will they do to me this time? This wasn't in my plan, so what should I do now? Should I give up and let them kill me? As I was lost in thought, suddenly, from the front of the dark cave, a flashlig
Xevia's POV My eyes widened as blinding light peeked out from behind the open curtains due to the breeze. Instantly I felt a severe headache, which strikes my head hard. It hurt as if a vast sledgehammer had hit it."What is this place?" I wondered to myself, I've never been to this place before. This isn't Xander's house. At least it's not a mansion with lots of glass windows.I looked around and realized I was alone in a vast room dominated by monochrome colors. The owner of this room was a mysterious person, predominantly black, with only a few white ornaments. Slowly my memories returned, and I sighed; again, he saved me, even after I betrayed his trust by running away and going to Alarick's wedding in secret. The masculine perfume still lingered, and I could still smell it. This scent, somehow, gave me comfort.I slowly exited the bed with a slight stagger while walking towards the half-open white-curtained window due to the strong wind outside.As I passed by the large mirror
**** Xevia didn't realize someone had entered the room and was watching her outside the bathroom door. The man smiled, seeing how Xevia seemed to enjoy all the facilities he gave her.****Xevia'sAfter washing my entire body and hair, I walked out of the shower area and was about to pick up the bathrobe I had seen folded neatly in the closet near the door.At that moment, I realized that the bathroom door was wide open. Did I forget to close that damn door?And I suddenly lost my breath when I saw someone else in my room. And that person was standing in front of the bathroom door, with such a calm face, but I was sure that he was the same man who had seen and enjoyed the sight of my naked curves in the shower earlier!I reflexively rushed to cover my body parts with my hands and quickly grabbed the bathrobe until I didn't have time to grab a towel for my wet hair."Y-you? What are you doing here? When did you come? Can you see me?" I demanded with angry, defiant eyes and barked wildl
Xander's POVI followed Archer out of the room and left Xevia in that awkward state."How was it? Is everything settled?" I asked as we came down the stairs to the first floor.Archer stopped his steps, then turned and looked at me, "Yeah, your room will be prepared soon.""Good," I said with a flushed face that was actually still holding back embarrassment."Who is the housekeeper who works here?""Zee's uncle, his name is Mr. Clayton.""Is he the one you ordered to prepare the room?" I asked him; Archer nodded."Thanks, brother," I said as I patted his shoulder."You can always count on me," Archer smiled before walking towards the main door. For the next few nights, he would take over my duties at the headquarters because there were some things I needed to sort out with Xevia. Something I really don't want to force, but I have to.After seeing Archer off, I went back inside and looked for Clayton, Zigas' uncle, who Archer had hired to look after my mansion.I wanted to ensure everyt
Xevia's POV I tried to struggle and cry out at him, pleading with him to put me down, but he didn't react. He was too strong, and my body was too tiny compared to his. I was presumably only about the same height as Xander's muscular chest."Where are you taking me?" I insisted as I gripped his back tightly.However, Xander still didn't answer back to my question. He just kept walking down the long corridor of the second floor and stepped towards a staircase connected to a mysterious room with a black door.I saw him fingering something next to the door that looked like a fingerprint sensor. A few seconds later, the door opened automatically. It revealed a room whose walls were covered in black velvet, similar to the door. In the center of the room was a large bed with bright red sheets that looked contrasting."What are you going to do with me?" I shouted right into the ear of the man carrying me. However, again he flinched and just twitched his corner lips upward.He looked peacef
Author's POV"Are you hungry?" asked Xander unexpectedly, recalling that Xevia hadn't eaten anything since morning."Yes, I'm starving," Xevia replied stammeringly."I'll ask Mr. Clayton to bring you dinner," he said coldly, contrasting to the warmth of the kiss he had just given her."Can I ask you something!" interrupted Xevia suddenly as Xander left."Go ahead.""How can you see today and be blind the next?""During the full moon, I will continue to be able to see you as I can reuse my sense of sight. But on other days, I will again go blind and live in darkness.""That is not important to you. What is important is that you know what duties and responsibilities you must fulfill as my mate.""What do you mean by responsibilities?""Like the responsibilities a mate has towards their mate, you must be able to maintain your honor, your loyalty, and hand over the rest of your life to me. It's that simple, and I wouldn't be this hard on you if you could be trusted. But I see you're still
Xander's POVEarly in the morning, I had to leave for headquarters due to some urgent business, and Archer said he couldn't handle it, so I had to step in myself. Archer didn't tell me about the problem, and he just asked me to hurry up."Alright, I'll be right there," I said as I moved quickly down to the first floor and met one of the drivers Archer had sent to pick me up.I also told Mr. Clayton to take care of Xevia and make sure she ate well and also make sure she was always in her room. I had installed some surveillance cameras, but there was no way I was going to put them in Xevia's room.I have to respect her privacy as an individual."Zee, how are you?" I asked him."Fine, young master.""Zee, do you know what trouble we are in now?" I said and put the tablet into my suitcase. I was looking for information that might relate to my conjecture about the complicated issue that Arcjer was reluctant to bring up over the phone.A few seconds passed, and Zigas didn't immediately answ
Xander's POV"How was it? Did you and Xevia..." Uncle didn't continue his words, and he only emphasized his point by looking at me mischievously."No, not yet," I replied a little nervously."You suck," Uncle said as he sipped his coffee."I had a lot of work these few days, uncle. So I didn't have time to make love to her," I evaded."This morning, because of him," I pointed at Archer."I didn't even get time to visit Xevia in her room. And I could only tell Mr. Clayton to provide new clothes and food for her.""I also asked Mr. Clayton to turn on a smart TV for her in her room so she wouldn't get bored." I continued."Did you also order snacks for her?" the uncle asked, looking at me with a surprised face.I, who was just about to scoop my cream soup, immediately stopped moving and looked at him, perplexed."Snacks?" I asked back."Yes, snacks. You know, my son, women love snacks, cakes, chocolates, potato chips, or fruits.""Looks like I forgot that part," I muttered as I reached i
